She nodded and asked a few more questions. As she was speaking, she saw He Yuan and the little olive standing around the table, looking at the ”Jadeite Ointment” that was sent over by the autumn water. Since the wide mouth bottle was painted with a gorgeous beauty that wanted to fly up to the moon, she pointed at it and said, ”Is she about to become immortal after eating this ointment? So they flew up? ”
Seeing the young mistress turn her head, the little olive pointed at the ”Jade Ointment” and said, ”Mother, I want to eat some contraception cream!”
The young mistress was surprised for a moment, but then she couldn't help laughing. Everyone heard what Olive said and couldn't help but laugh. He Yuan's face turned red as he moved behind her. He put his head on the back of the chair and laughed out loud. While rubbing his stomach, he said, ”Mom, I also want to eat some contraceptive cream!”
Amidst the laughter, the little girl brought a spoon in and dug out two and a half spoonfuls of the ”Jade Sound Paste” for He Yuan and the olives to eat.
Hearing the smell of sesame seed paste, the elder sister couldn't help but laugh and say, ”This sesame paste is quite suitable. Why would it be called the Jade Sound Ointment?”
”This is the work of a personal girl named Madam An Ping. The girl's name is Bi Yin and she knows quite a bit about medicine.” Because Lady Shen's body was weak, her face was as white as paper. Later on, she tried everything she could to make this paste for Lady Shen to eat. After eating this paste for less than a year, Madam Shen's complexion gradually improved. Waiting for Lady Shen to recover, the little girl fell into an emergency, leaving behind the recipe and the method to make the paste, and passed away. In memory of her, Madam Shen named this plaster 'Jade Sound Ointment'. ” Autumn Water, who was serving in front of Old Madam He, had often heard the old stories of these wives. She smiled and said, ”A little girl who can leave her name after death can only be considered lucky. What else is there to ask for? It's said that the beautiful woman painted on the outside of that wide mouth bottle was painted in accordance to the appearance of Jadeite Sound. She looks really extraordinary, so she's said to have lost her life due to her beauty. ”
Afraid that someone was looking for her, Qiushui didn't dare to delay any longer, so she quickly took her leave.
When your elder sister saw that Autumn Water had left, she was lost in thought for a moment. After a few days, people would only secretly inquire about the unmarried young overseer in the outer court. As the two of them grew older and older, if they didn't deserve to go out, He Nian wouldn't accept them. In the future, they would probably die just like Bi Yin. As for Qiu Tang and Qiu Ping, since Old Madam He had called them over, her intention was to accept them into the family. Even she herself wouldn't be able to match them up, so she had to think of a way to do it in the future.
As all the juniors wanted to show their filial piety to their elders, your elder sister made four pairs of shoes to honor Old Lady He and Old Madam He. Seeing that the little olives had been pasted, she asked him to write a word of auspicious language for her and the elders. Seeing that He Yuan was learning how to sew and embroider, he decided to help He Yuan draw the pattern to be embroidered on the purse. After locking the edge, he smiled and said, ”It's hard to sew and if you can sew out the pattern, you can present it to your father.”
Mother Wang just happened to come, hearing that the little olives and He Yuan prepared something to ”present the silk”, she couldn't help but laugh and say, ”The present is only to let the juniors show filial piety, to amuse the elderly. I am still young, so if I were to kowtow a few times, I would be extremely filial. There is no need for me to offer anything. ” As he was speaking, he saw He Yuan learning how to embroider a purse. He was momentarily astonished as he said, ”Sister, you were able to overturn the string when you played the last match. Now you are learning how to embroider a purse. However, it's very difficult to sew these wallets. It's very difficult for children to sew them, and it's not good for them to hurt their eyes. ”
”Wang Ma, the two of them couldn't sit still easily, so they just sat there obediently. One of them sat for a while, and then they started making trouble again. How could they hurt their eyes?” The elder sister laughed and said, ”I could have done it before the new year. It would have been difficult for me to have finished embroidering a purse before the new year. I'm afraid that it will be a matter of time before we kowtow! ”
On the 29th of the year, after each room had finished offering their silk, the lady returned to her room. She received a handkerchief embroidered with a ball and a sticker embroidered with olives. She couldn't help but praise them with a smile, then sealed a red packet to reward them.
However, He Nian received a bun embroidered by He Yuan. The bun had a butterfly embroidered on it. The needle and thread were taut and loose. As a result, the butterfly was crumpled and barely able to move its head.
”Daddy, is it nice to watch?” Although the embroidered bonus wasn't very pretty, he was still young. It was already pretty good for him to be like this! He Yuan felt pity for his work. He raised his head and said to He Nian, ”If you don't like it, give it back to me!” Eh, if no one wants it, it would be nice to keep it as a souvenir.
”It's from a small round ball, of course I like it!” He Nian smiled and said, ”This is the most beautiful purse I've ever seen!”
The little olive was waiting for the sticker written by He Nian to praise him, so he came over to look at He Yuan's ugly purse, then shook his head and said, ”Daddy, are your eyes not too good tonight? Such an ugly bag, and you say it's beautiful! ”
”Oh, little big brother, can you give me some face?” He Yuan pouted, and just as he was about to speak, he heard He Nian laugh. ”As long as it's embroidered with a small round ball, it's the most beautiful in Daddy's eyes! ”Come, let's take a look at Little Olive's placard. Hmm, it's pretty good too!”
The elder sister also came over to see the work of the dragon and phoenix embryo, and smiled at He Nian, ”The little round ball worked hard to make a line and sent it to the Grand Princess's residence to offer her 'silk', but the Grand Princess was so happy that she did not know what to do. She returned the favor, praised it, and said that she would be picked up for a few days after the new year.”
Just as he was speaking, he heard a commotion in front of him. It seemed to be the voice of the little girl in Li's room. He could not help but be startled: ”It's a big festival, what's going on here?” As she spoke, she sent Chun Ying out to take a look.
