The next day, Xu Nuo was called to the small study by Xu Gucheng after he came back from Lanyuan Hall. 【Read the latest chapter】
Xu Gucheng first mentioned what happened the day before and comforted her, then changed the topic and asked Xu Nuo to go to Yilianyuan less and concentrate on learning tea ceremony and female workers.
After a few words, Xu Nuo came out of the small study and went to the main room to talk to Mrs. Lu for a while, and then asked Mrs. Lu to give instructions on how to play the piano before leaving.
Xu's garden is a typical Suzhou garden structure, which emphasizes the different views as you move. There are lattice windows about seven or eight steps along the verandah, allowing you to see the scene on the other side.
There are pavilions, pavilions, verandas and paths meandering through them, and the internal and external spaces penetrate each other. The scenery arrangement and viewing position are designed very cleverly, perfectly reproducing the spatial structure of the outside world in the limited internal space.
April is the most comfortable day of the year, with bright sunshine, lush trees and bright flowers.
Xunuo walked around the Xu Mansion unknowingly. The scenery in the mansion was really charming, and every detail was exquisite. People couldn't help but admire it, but her heart had already flown outside.
After being a stay-at-home lady for two months, she only went out a handful of times...
Just when I was thinking about finding an excuse to go out, I heard an exclamation from behind me.
Turning around, I saw Qi Qi's small face as white as silk.
Seeing Xu Nuo turn around, Qi Qiyue hurriedly stood up straight, and quickly put her hands behind her back, her whole body stretched like a thin line: "Mother...Mother."
Xunuo looked around and found nothing unusual, then looked at Qiyue with doubts in his eyes.
Qi Qi's face instantly turned from pale to red, she lowered her head and stammered: "Madam. I...I, it seems..."
Qi Qi has always been smart, but in the past she was a rough servant. But after being promoted to a first-class maid, she quickly adapted to the new job and made no mistakes. And she is one of the few people who knows that Xu Nuo has no amnesia, and Xu Nuo has left many important things to her.
Therefore, Xu Nuo was very puzzled when he saw her so embarrassed. After looking up and down, he said in a deep voice: "Stretch out your hand."
Qi Qiyue avoided it awkwardly. Looking at him with a look that promised an order, she had no choice but to extend her hand. Xunuo saw something red on her fingertips.
The thought flashed, and Xu Nuo understood what happened. It was July 13th this year. Menstruation is coming too.
She took out her handkerchief, wiped off the bright red on Qiyue's fingertips, and said with a smile, "This is a happy event, let's go back quickly."
Qi Qi didn't expect that Xu would wipe it for him. He was so frightened that he had to retract his hand. But Xu Nuo forced him to bite his lip and wait for Xu Nuo to finish wiping, then hurriedly retracted his hand.
When she accompanied Xu Nuo to Yingcheng Courtyard, she felt something was wrong with her body, but didn't think much about it. Later, she walked around the Xu Mansion. When she got here, she felt a little uncomfortable on her legs. When she reached out and touched it, she felt something sticky. .
She was startled at first and screamed. Later, I realized what happened and became shy.
Xu Nuo walked around behind Qi Qi and took a look at her skirt. She couldn't help but shake her head. She was wearing a goose-yellow eight-piece skirt, and the bright red on the skirt was very eye-catching.
After all, Qi Qi was just a little girl. Her first menstrual period not only stained her skirt, but was also so far away from her room. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head.
Xu Nuo shook his head, wondering why he insisted on sitting at the pavilion by the pond for so long, and even pulled Qi Qi to sit down and feed the fish. If he hadn't sat down, Qi Qi wouldn't have dyed her skirt red.
"You go to a nearby hiding place and wait for me. I'll go back and find you a skirt." If it was her previous life, she wouldn't have cared about this kind of thing at all, but times were different, and she had to take Qiyue's reputation into consideration.
Qi Qi shook her head. How could she dare to ask her wife to run errands for her? Before she even said her refusal, Xu Nuo strode away.
An hour later, in the Mingjin Pavilion, Chun Tang was laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up. She finally stopped laughing, and then she patted the door of Qi Yue's room and said, "Come out quickly, why are you shy? Madam has something to tell you."
It turns out that when Xu Nuo left Ying Chengyuan, Chun Tang was left by Lu to draw some embroidery patterns for the handkerchief. When she came back, she found Qi Qi locked up, so she asked Xu Nuo and found out what had happened before.
Qi Qi was not shy this time. The door opened with a bang and she came out and walked quickly into the promise room.
She changed her clothes and now wore a chrysanthemum-patterned turmeric cross-collar short jacket and a navy blue Liufu Luo skirt. The accessories on her head have also changed. There are silver combs on both sides, and a hollow jasper gold hairpin on the back of her head. She seems to have some powder on her face, and the bright rouge on her thin lips is very beautiful.
After dressing up, I felt much more energetic and looked better.
Chuntang laughed again when she saw Qi Qi and held her hand affectionately: "We are grown girls now in Qi Qi. Hey, we all know how to put on rouge."
Qi Qi was thin-skinned, so she couldn't stand Chun Tang's words. Not only did her face turn red, her neck also turned red, and her whole body felt uncomfortable.
"Sister Chuntang, this is not what I meant. They are all ladies..." Qiyue looked at Xunuo with a little aggrieved face.
Xu Nuo hurriedly gave Chuntang a wink, telling her not to be ashamed of Qiyue, and took out a gold comb, a pair of pearl earrings and two pearl flowers from the jewelry box and handed them to Qiyue: "You can rest for the next few days. , let Chuntang and Wuyue do any work first."
He took it in July and gave thanks.
A lady rarely changes her decision. Instead of rejecting it, it is better to accept it and serve her well in the future. July thought this through very clearly.
Xu Nuo nodded happily and asked Qi Qi to go back to the house to rest first. Then he picked up a handkerchief beside him and gave it to Chun Tang. He asked with a smile: "Is there any progress?"
She really has no talent as a female worker. In her previous life, she was most afraid of musical instruments. Now she can play a few simple pieces of music, but her progress as a female worker is very slow, or there is no progress at all.
She couldn't simply embroider a plum blossom on a handkerchief, or the embroidery was damaged and the handkerchief was wrinkled, or she spent a lot of effort to embroider something that looked strangely like firewood instead of a flower.
Chuntang slowly reached out and took the handkerchief, only glanced at it and smiled awkwardly.
After the lady woke up from amnesia, she worked hard at everything she did and never complained. The female workers never stopped, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't embroider anything that caught her eye.
"Madam, the stitches are neater this time, but the appearance is still not good." Chuntang struggled to say what she had said every few days for the past two months. Sometimes she even worried that her mother-in-law could learn like this because of her poor teaching.
But July has only been working with female workers for more than a month, and she taught her step by step. She can already embroider plum blossoms, bamboos, and swallows in three styles. Although it is not very beautiful, it is already very good compared with the lady's.
Xunuo took back the handkerchief in a sullen voice, took a small mahogany box from the side of the pillow, and put the handkerchief in it.
The box contained all the handkerchiefs she had embroidered in the past two months, and none of them dared to be used.
She had only embroidered handkerchiefs in the past two months and had not tried anything else. However, in line with the principle of not wasting fabric, she decided not to try it. (To be continued...)
