Chapter 244 Little Joy (1)
After all, it was just a girl's house. Although she said this, she was still quite curious. In addition, she was about to get married, so she followed Chuntao to Chunyu in the main courtyard. She decided to see it as if she saw it and then find an opportunity to go into the inner room to take a look.
As a result, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Zhou Heng sitting on a chair, holding a white silk pillow in her hand and was fiddling with something. When she saw her coming, she smiled and waved:
"Come on, please help me with something!"
Feeling the little girl Chuntao pulling on her sleeve, Chunyu looked back at her calmly, saying that she knew, and then hurriedly walked forward with a smile and asked:
"Miss Cousin just tells me!"
Chuntao was afraid that the other party would not understand, so he quickly followed and explained: "Sister Chunyu, this was specially made by Miss Cousin for the prince. Dried acacia flowers are placed inside to calm the mind and help sleep!" He said that he was not lying, and Miss Cousin now wants to hold the prince's pillow in her arms.
Chunyu looked at her speechlessly, looking like she was so angry that she could not make a strong sense of steel. She couldn't tell the word "天" or not? Fortunately, the lady in the cousin didn't mind, otherwise she would have been anxious about someone who was not generous.
Zhou Heng really didn't care. After hearing what Chuntao said, he nodded and said, "Yes, this is what I specially made for the prince. When the one I have finished today, I will save it. I have one myself in the future. How great is it, I will use it for the best use!"
He asked Chunyu embarrassedly, "That's right, you know, I'm not good at red. Can you teach me how to embroider two words on this pillow later?"
This is the idea that Zhou Heng had just come up with. He planned to embroider the two letters of his name on the pillow for Shen Fu, and his pillow would also be embroidered with zh at that time. It is secret and meaningful. Anyway, no one else in this world knows what these letters mean.
In fact, Chuntao can do it, but that's it. The little girl has no patience and can't sit still. Her skills are naturally not good enough. At the critical moment, Zhou Heng thought it would be better to expect spring rain.
Sure enough, although the pattern given by Zhou Heng was a bit strange and was not as two words as she said, Chunyu still patiently guided her to complete the basic operation.
First, I took out the acacia flowers inside again, and then gently drew the two strange-looking patterns on the back of the silk cloth. Then I fixed the silk cloth with the embroidery band that Chuntao quickly brought from Madam Shen. In this way, one stitch and one thread. Anyway, the pattern was very small, just half the size of a finger. Soon, although the stitches were not very well-proportioned, the lady who picked up the embroidery needle for the first time was very satisfied. For this, she looked at the finished product happily and said:
"It's over, Chunyu, I have to add another dowry to you now. You are such a treasure girl!"
"Miss cousin, I can actually embroider the flowers!" This praise made Chuntao next to him envious. Although he didn't understand what it meant, the word "treasure" was always good, so he couldn't help but mutter softly without being convinced.
"Okay, so will you," Zhou Heng's eyes remained on the pillow. The more he looked, the more he felt that his creativity was great. He responded absent-mindedly: "When you look back, let's just give me some advice!"
Anyway, my own embroidery is too good, and with this experience, Chuntao, the little master, must have had enough.
Chuntao, who had just watched seriously for a while, heard it and said confidently that he could do this job:
"Don't worry, Miss Cousin, when the flowers in the yard are all dried, I will help you embroider the flowers!"
Chunyu next to him hesitated and still told his thoughts. After all, a white cloth pillow that claimed to have two words looked very good, especially those two words didn't look like words, at most they looked like symbols:
"Miss cousin, I think the white cloth is easy to get dirty. I will just say to Madam Chen and ask her to make another pillowcase outside!"
Zhou Heng thought that the white cloth was indeed too dirty, so he followed suit: "Okay, then I'll turn around and ask Madam Chen to help me find a piece of cloth and make a pillowcase!"
How difficult is it to make a pillowcase? The characters are all embroidered.
Nowadays, modern girls with great confidence do not feel that their needlework is shameful.
Seeing that Chunyu was confident, she naturally stopped talking about anything else. No matter how ugly the embroidery work was, as long as it was made by Miss Cousin, the prince would definitely not dislike it. After all, he had put his heart into it.
The master and servant were talking and laughing, and Zhou Heng asked about the preparations for Chunyu's trip. The morning passed quickly. After lunch, he didn't even take a nap. Zhou Heng and Chuntao met their heads and started preparing for the second embroidery.
Maybe it was really a bit mature again and again. Of course, it was just embroidering two letters. After an hour of busy work, I finally finished the two letters of zh. After pounding the hammer, my waist was slightly sore. Zhou Heng looked at the work in front of me with satisfaction and told Chuntao:
"Okay, the task is done, go and bring in the flowers under the sun outside!"
After tying the pillow straps and looking at the two pillows placed side by side on the bed, Zhou Heng decided again:
"Or might as well make the pillowcases outside today. Chuntao, go and tell Madam Chen, and ask her to help cut two pieces of cloth to make pillowcases."
It can also be regarded as a surprise to Chen Fu.
Madam Chen, who received the news, looked at the little maid who looked innocent and was still stunned:
"Chuntao, you came to borrow embroidered bandages in the morning. I was thinking that it was just a cousin who passed the time on a whim. Now you come to get the cloth. What do you mean is that cousin making pillows? Have you made two more?"
I knew that Miss Cousin was collecting Hehuan flowers, but I just thought that she was a daughter-in-law, and now she was bored and wanted to use some dried flowers as sachets to pass the time. For this reason, I also made some fun saying that Hehuan flowers calmed their minds and helped them sleep. Unexpectedly, they made two pillows for her?
But it's not right. At best, there are only two Hehuan flowers in the main courtyard. Although they grow quite tall and probably have a lot of flowers, the Hehuan flowers are not drying, and a large bouquet of flowers finally becomes a small handful. How can we get the two pillow cores together?
"My grandma, Miss Cousin and I have been picking up flowers these days." Fortunately, Chuntao was very erect and observed carefully, and explained to the stunned nanny in detail:
"And the cousin also stuffed cotton and some medicinal materials into the pillow, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to collect a single pillow. Oh, by the way, the prince also gave me a lot of flowers this morning, but I don't know where it came from, so the prince didn't say it."
"So the prince also knows this?" Madam Chen knew that Chen Fu had gone out early and returned late these days, but she didn't expect that she was still thinking about such a small thing as Miss Cousin, and she was even more surprised.
"Of course, the prince's pillow is still there this morning..." The little girl blurted out her heart. She felt it was inappropriate when she was halfway through her words, so she stammered and stopped talking...
