This thing is simple to say.
But it is difficult to actually do it.
As a marquis, there are very few things that he likes but has never gotten.
Fortunately, the old lady knew what was going on.
The old lady has been a lady since she was a child. When she was young, she was outstanding in playing, playing, playing chess, calligraphy and painting among the noble ladies.
But the only thing she's not good at is embroidery.
Fortunately, the elders at home did not criticize her harshly. Since she was not good at it, they assigned her two maids who were good at embroidery.
So when Ye Luoxin said she wanted to make a purse, it just hit the old lady's pain point.
"I don't know how to do it. It'll be so ugly that no one wants to see it."
"Grandma," Ye Luoxin softened her voice and coaxed, "It's just because you're not good at it that I suggested this. Think about it, has Grandpa ever received a gift from you over the years?" Is your wallet ready?
If not, would he be very surprised if you suddenly gave him one? "
The old lady thought about it and found out that when they first got married, the Marquis had indeed mentioned to her that she wanted her to embroider a purse for him.
But at that time, she told him that she didn't know how to do it, and she would let the maid show off whatever he liked.
Later, the Marquis never mentioned this matter again.
And for so many years, he has never carried a wallet.
Where others hang their purses, he always has them empty.
The old lady also bought him purses with insect repellent scent several times. Mr. Marquis only said that he didn't like it, and no one mentioned it again after that.
Now that I think about it, could it be that he didn't wear it for so many years because he didn't do it himself?
The old lady suddenly became interested.
"Then... let's make one?" she said tentatively.
"Then I have to make one!"
Ye Luoxin said and asked Qiuyue to go to her room and get a piece of pure white rabbit skin.
Ye Luoxin doesn't know how to make ordinary purses, but Ye Luoxin has learned a little about this kind of one made of rabbit skin.
She asked the old lady for her opinion, cut the rabbit skin into a suitable shape, and then sewed it stitch by stitch with the old lady.
Rabbit skin is very hard and you must have a thimble on hand when sewing.
In some places, the needle cannot be pulled out and you have to use pliers.
The two of them worked so seriously that they were completely unaware of the passage of time. When the maid came over to call them to eat, they had only finished a quarter of the meal.
"Why are you eating so soon? Forget it, I won't eat. You can go and eat by yourself." The old lady rushed Ye Luoxin to eat.
Ye Luoxin disagreed.
"Grandma, have you forgotten? There is a saying that slow work produces careful work. We can't do this all the time. After dinner, we have to go for a walk in the garden and rest our eyes.
Your eyes have just recovered recently. If you are exhausted, my grandfather will definitely not let me go when he comes back. Then I will be the one who suffers! "
When the old lady heard that her granddaughter was being coquettish and angry, she had no choice but to put down what she was doing and tapped Ye Luoxin's nose: "Okay, you are the best at persuading people, so let's go eat!"
The two people talked and laughed and walked to the front room.
On the other side, Xiao Mu did not go to Lingyuan Pavilion, but sat in a teahouse drinking tea.
The waiter at the teahouse was very attentive to Xiao Mu.
Because Xiao Mu was the most generous guest in the teahouse today and directly reserved all the seats upstairs.
The waiters in the store are all vying to serve him. As long as they are happy with the waiter, a small reward will be enough for them to live for more than half a year.
Xiao Mu was drinking tea alone.
After a while, a person came to the teahouse.
Xiao Mu seemed to have been prepared.
When he saw the person coming, he pushed an empty teacup forward.
"Brother is busy with government affairs, how can he still have time to drink tea?"
Xiao Jinrong didn't want to go around with him and asked directly: "You said yesterday that the servants of Lingyuan Pavilion could identify who the person was, so why didn't you let him come out directly to identify him? I think you had something to say yesterday. Do you doubt it? It’s not really me, is it?”
Xiao Mu didn't expect that he would be so out of control, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "How could eldest brother think so? I don't think I said who that person is, right?"
"Humph!" Xiao Jamrong did not drink the cup of tea that the waiter poured for him, but just said: "Those things you said yesterday, as long as they are not stupid, will doubt me. I don't like to be secretive when doing things. Since If you doubt me, how about starting from today, as long as you don’t go on errands, I will stay with you and let you interrogate me at will?"
Xiao Mu couldn't help but smile.
"Brother, why is this necessary? We are brothers. As long as you say no, I will naturally believe it."
Xiao Jinrong was about to say something else, but a person suddenly ran in from outside. He was wearing a mask and knelt down on one knee towards Xiao Mu: "Master, we have caught the person pretending to be the pavilion master!"
"Caught? So quickly?" Xiao Mu was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Xiao Jamrong couldn't help but relax.
He picked up the tea that the waiter had just poured, and even though the tea was a little cold, he still drank it in one gulp.
Then he looked at Xiao Mu and said, "How about it? I'll just say it's not me."
The expression on Xiao Mu's face was still ugly, and he still said: "I didn't say it was the eldest brother at first, it was the eldest brother who misunderstood me.
But now that I have met my eldest brother, why not come with me to see who this audacious thief is. "
As he spoke, he said to the visitor: "Bring him here."
"yes!"
The masked man clasped his hands into fists and stepped back.
After a while, a tied-up man was pushed out.
Xiao Mu looked up.
The person who came was short in stature, with a dark complexion and a very frightened expression.
Xiao Mu did not ask directly, but looked at Xiao Jinrong beside him: "Brother, do you think this person is?"
Xiao Jamrong was obviously surprised, and frowned deeply at the person in front of him.
