Chapter 275 Peacock
Tang Xueru said with a smile, "I know, even if you let me eat, I won't eat it. Didn't you listen to what Sister Li said to me earlier? In order to entertain me, she specially ordered the snacks in Huanqinglou, I can have it
Keep your belly open and eat two more snacks later. I'm almost bored to death from being stuck at home these days."
Bai Rongxuan smiled and sipped her tea.
Tang Xueru still wanted to talk about Aunt Xiang and Tang Xuerong, but after all, she was in the long house, and it was always a bit inappropriate to speak ill of the owner in someone else's yard. Although this was Tang Xueli's own room, she might get Tang Xueli into trouble because of it.
Unnecessary trouble. Bai Rongxuan quietly changed the subject and discussed with Bai Rongxuan what to give Dong Yuluo as a gift.
After all, we are separated by mountains and rivers, and we don’t know when we will meet again.
In this life, Bai Rongxuan has given up on the Bai family in Shanghai and will not repeat the mistakes of her previous life. Therefore, even if she goes to Tianjin to find Dong Yuluo, she will not be as pitiful and helpless as in her previous life. I don’t know if the two of them will meet again in the future, but no matter
Anyway, Bai Rongxuan was grateful for the shelter and care she had given her in her previous life, not to mention that this time Dong Yuluo came to Hangzhou and gave her a lot of cloth and silk, so she had to give something in return.
Tang Xueru pouted and thought for a long time, "The Dong family is much better than ours. Cousin Yuluo is in need of everything. She won't be surprised by anything we give her."
"How could it be?" Bai Rongxuan said, "Gifts themselves value friendship. What does it matter whether something is expensive or cheap? Otherwise, there is a saying that 'it is light on gifts but heavy on affection'. Although Cousin Yuluo is rich, she doesn't have what she wants.
What, but what do those things have to do with us? She won’t think of us when she sees them.”
Tang Xueru nodded as she listened, feeling that what she said seemed to make sense, "Then what do you want to give? I don't understand this, so it's all up to you. I'll always follow you anyway."
Bai Rongxuan discussed it with her just because she didn't expect it. Unexpectedly, this unreliable guy simply became a hands-off shopkeeper and left everything on her alone.
Of course Bai Rongxuan would not follow her, and pulled her up to think with him. The two of them studied for a long time and finally decided to work together to embroider something for Dong Yuluo.
Embroidery was Tang Xueru's weakness. She didn't agree with anything at first, but in the end Bai Rongxuan promised her that she would do the bulk of the work, and Tang Xueru would only need to help thread the needle and embroider some small parts, so she reluctantly nodded.
Dong Yuluo's return date was set for the end of August, and there was not enough time. If the two of them wanted to deliver it before she left, they had to rush. Bai Rongxuan immediately borrowed Tang Xueli's table, and Tang Xueru studied ink for her.
I personally researched the patterns I wanted to embroider.
Tang Xueru was studying ink listlessly while saying, "The plan can't keep up with the changes. If something like this happens, I don't know when I will finish copying the scriptures. I tell you, I can't delay September 9th under any circumstances."
Your trip to Mount Putuo, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you!"
Bai Rongxuan felt that she had been wronged, "You are copying slowly, what's the use of rushing with me?"
"Who asked you to copy things so quickly? Who asked you to suggest giving things to cousin Yuluo? Just buy one or two things, and you have to embroider things yourself. You don't even think about it. The Dong family runs a weaving factory.
There are hundreds of embroiderers in our family, and their skills are definitely much better than yours. Even if we spend sleepless nights and embroider, my cousin may not be interested in it." She muttered with a look of complaint on her face.
Bai Rongxuan said, "It's precisely because Xiu Niang's things have been seen so much that she doesn't find them new. I want to give her a special one, guaranteed to be something she has never seen before..." As she spoke, she dipped in ink and quickly drew on the straw paper.
Got up.
The pattern seemed to be engraved in her mind, and it appeared on the paper naturally without much thought.
Tang Xueru looked at the peacock on the drawing paper and marveled, clapped her hands and shouted, "Oh, this peacock is so vivid and beautiful to look at. How did you think of it?"
Bai Rongxuan smiled coquettishly.
How could she come up with such a pattern? She originally saw this in her previous life in Shanghai when she was dealing with Bai Linglong, the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Bai family. At that time, she was wearing a slim and decent cheongsam with such a peacock embroidered on it.
It's just that the embroidery techniques and skills are different, and there are also gold and silver threads interspersed in it, making the peacock look domineering and magnificent.
When Bai Rongxuan was living in Peiping, she recalled that dress more than once. When she had nothing to do, she would dissect and study it in her mind, pondering the embroidery techniques, always trying to figure out how the peacock was embroidered.
The hard work paid off. When she was seriously ill and bedridden, she finally thought about it. After her rebirth, she had had this idea herself and wanted to make a similar cheongsam. But this idea just came to her mind.
It flashed through and was denied by myself. When I came to Hangzhou, it was not as fashionable and open as Shanghai. People still have old ideas in their bones. They have never seen the flag.
When I met the person wearing the robe for the first time, I'm afraid I couldn't accept it. Secondly, when I thought about the fact that the dress once belonged to Bai Linglong, and I made it like her, I always felt like I was imitating someone else. What's more, when I met in the previous life, I was not less impressed by her.
She was ridiculed and insulted, and when she thought of her arrogant look, Bai Rongxuan felt boring and gave up the idea of making a cheongsam completely.
But if she doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that Dong Yuluo can't do it.
But she didn't know anything about cheongsam, and she definitely didn't dare to pretend to be a master and cut the materials. But she could just embroider a pattern and give it to Dong Yuluo, and it was all up to her own preferences.
In her previous life, when she was at the Qiu Family Manor in Tianjin, she was often cared for by Dong Yuluo. Especially when she came to comfort her despite the fact that she was about to give birth, Bai Rongxuan always kept this kindness in her heart.
The two people were studying the peacock pattern, and Mrs. Huang rushed over with Tang Xueli worried. She probably didn't expect that Tang Xueru could really stay in Tang Xueli's house obediently. Mrs. Huang's face was full of surprise before she could enter the door.
Tang Xueli held her arm and smiled, "What did I say? Xueru must have been detained by Rongxuan in the house and couldn't go anywhere. Auntie wouldn't listen to anything she said. Now do you believe it?"
Huang smiled helplessly, "You don't know, this rogue wild monkey is a master who can't rest for a moment. I'm afraid that without someone to hold her down, she will become completely lawless and something will happen."
You don’t look good on your face either.”
Huang's talk was unintentional, but Tang Xueli's listener was intentional.
Her position in this house is really awkward.
Tang Xueli forced a smile and said, "What are you afraid of? No matter how wild the monkey is, it can't escape from the Buddha's grasp. I think Rongxuan is the best person for studying and studying. With her here, you don't have to worry about anything."
Mentioning Bai Rongxuan, Huang was satisfied with one hundred and twenty. She smiled and nodded, "Rongxuan has nothing to say. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. The older she gets, the more people like her. That can't be wrong.
.That’s her. If it had been anyone else, she would have been dragged into the ditch by Xueru. It shows that she is a person who can stick to her own opinions and have her own ideas."
The two people walked in the door while talking.
Tang Xueru heard the footsteps, looked back, and shouted in surprise, "Mom! Are you ready to have dinner?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but glare at her, "What are you going to eat? You should really find a mirror for you to look at yourself. Look at your expression. If you didn't know better, you would have thought you were a starving ghost reincarnated. The family is at a loss.
It's a waste to eat you and drink it. You look like you've never seen the world. Didn't you use it at your grandmother's place this morning? Why are you hungry so quickly? "
Tang Xueru and Huang's care and kindness made the mother the least afraid of the elders in the Tang family. She dropped the ink tablets in her hands when she heard the sound, ran up, hugged Huang's arm and started acting coquettishly.
, "I probably haven't been out for too long. I'm so excited when I think about going out for some fun. I can't even think of eating. I had a few bites at my grandmother's place in the morning. If I hadn't just eaten a plate of watermelon, I would have been so hungry.
My stomach is growling."
Mrs. Huang gently patted her forehead, "What do you mean by going out for a walk? You said this casually? Children don't understand anything and just speak without thinking about it. They are not allowed to say it again in the future."
Tang Xueru blinked, "Mom! What does it mean to go out for fun?"
Before Huang could explain, Bai Rongxuan, who was painting a peacock's tail feathers, took over, "Generally, people in prison are released to stretch their muscles at a specific time every day. Everyone calls it time to relax. This is not a good thing.
If you don’t know anything, stop talking nonsense.”
