The early morning sun shone in front of the bed. Wen Min turned over and asked what time it was.
Madam's temper has been particularly weird recently, so the maid cautiously replied: "It's already Chen time."
Wen Min stretched and yawned: "Why are you so sleepy these days?"
The maid accompanied her carefully and said: "It is said that spring is tired and autumn is sleepy. And it is a good thing that Madam can sleep, which means that the medicine prescribed by Dr. Lin is very effective."
Wen Min nodded and said, "That's true." After saying that, he ordered the maid to serve her and get up.
After washing up and freshening up, and by the time Wen Min had breakfast, the sun was already high.
Wen Min was drinking peanut cheese made in the kitchen when she heard from the maids that Lady Shen was here.
Shen Xiu came late on purpose. Now that she came, she asked the maids around the county magistrate's wife. Knowing that the magistrate's wife always got up very late these days, she was a little more sure.
As soon as Wen Min put down the peanut butter in his hand, Shen Xiu entered the house carrying the bundle.
"The daughter of the common people wishes to greet Madam." Shen Xiu bowed politely.
Wen Min said calmly: "Get up, you are not an outsider either."
Shen Xiu knew that Wen Min had a weird temper these days, and was afraid that something might offend her, so she went straight to the point and said: "Our embroidery shop has just embroidered two tents, and the patterns are very fresh. Last time, my wife rewarded me with a pair of jade Bracelet, I have always felt that I deserved it, so I brought these two tents here. If Madam likes them, you can keep them for use or reward them, which can be considered a little bit of my appreciation."
Wen Min didn't take the two tents seriously, and simply said lightly: "You are interested."
Shen Xiu saw the situation and knew that the other party was not interested, but she had been prepared when she came, so she smiled and said: "I know that Madam is used to seeing good things, so she may not like these two tents. But these two tents It was embroidered using a very unique embroidery method, and I dare say you won’t be able to find the same one in the entire county.”
Only then did Wen Min become a little interested, "Oh, then I'd like to see it."
Shen Xiu asked the maid to help unfold the gauze tent in the bag.
The first gauze tent was embroidered by three embroiderers, using the embroidery method of poking gauze embroidery, and the embroidery was a picture of wealth and many children.
Shen Xiu did not ignore the look on Wen Min's face. After seeing the picture of wealth and many children embroidered on the gauze tent, the other person's face was indeed a little more shaken.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Xiu opened the second gauze tent.
The second gauze tent was embroidered by her using Nasha embroidery technique, with grapes and pomegranates embroidered on it, which also means having more children and more blessings.
When Wen Min saw the two tents, he understood the meaning of Shen Xiu's words, and said with a smile on his face: "I understand your kindness, I will accept this tent."
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "This gauze tent embroidered with grapes and pomegranates has another advantage, but I'll give it a try first. Madam will know after she tries it on tonight."
Everyone is curious. Wen Min really developed an inquiring mind after hearing Shen Xiu's words.
When he went to sleep at night, he asked the maid to remove the original tent and replace it with the grape and pomegranate gauze tent made by Shen Xiuxiu.
Only when the maid lit the candles did Wen Min understand what benefits Shen Xiu was talking about.
Under the illumination of the warm yellow candlelight, I saw that the grapes and pomegranates embroidered on the gauze tent looked like real ones, hanging on the tent, lifelike and a little more lively.
And because of the characteristics of Nasha embroidery, the front and back sides of this gauze embroidery are the same, so it looks just like double-sided embroidery, elegant and neat.
Wen Min is a knowledgeable person and immediately saw the difference in this gauze tent.
So not only did the gauze stay, but it was also hung in Wen Min's bedroom.
Ten days later, Wen Min woke up one morning and smelled something strange, so she vomited everything she had eaten yesterday.
The maids hurriedly went to fetch Dr. Lin. Dr. Lin had just been sent home these days. When he heard that the county magistrate's wife was unwell, his scalp became tight.
When he came to the backyard of the county government office uneasily, Wen Min was not in the original bedroom, but staying in the pavilion outside.
"The room is so stuffy, I feel so suffocated." After Wen Min finished speaking, she asked Dr. Lin, "I haven't had much appetite these days. Do I have any illness?"
After Doctor Lin carefully checked the pulse, his frown relaxed and he said with a smile: "Madam, this is not an illness, but a blessing. Congratulations, madam, you are already more than a month pregnant.
"
Wen Min was stunned because she was pregnant. She didn't expect that she could become pregnant so soon.
"Is this true? I'm not dreaming!" Wen Min pinched herself unconsciously, and when she realized it was not a dream, she shed tears, "So I'm really pregnant."
Doctor Lin hurriedly said: "Madam is just pregnant, so don't get too excited."
Wen Min wiped away her tears and smiled, "I was so happy that I made Dr. Lin laugh."
Dr. Lin also knew about Wen Min's heart problems, so he gave her careful advice that it was best to pay attention to some diet in the first three months and not eat anything raw or cold.
Wen Min responded one by one and had someone wrap Dr. Lin in a thick red envelope.
After Dr. Lin left, the maids came to congratulate Wen Min.
With a smile on her face, Wen Min told the housekeeper that all the servants serving in the backyard would receive an extra month's wages this month.
When Magistrate Zuo came back and learned the good news, he was even more happy. When he turned around and saw the gauze hanging in the bedroom, he smiled and said: "When you hung this gauze tent, I thought it had a good meaning. Sure enough, it was just a few seconds ago."
God, you have good news."
Wen Min glanced at the pomegranates and grapes hanging on the gauze curtain, and felt that the gauze curtain brought her good news.
"Speaking of which, Mrs. Shen is really the lucky star in my life. The first time she refilled the sachet for me, she discovered the truth about my infertility. The second time she sent me this gauze, I got pregnant within a few days.
information."
Wen Min sighed, "I have to thank her very much for this."
In fact, the first thing was a coincidence, and the second thing was Shen Xiu's intention.
However, Wen Min didn't know the truth and thought that Shen Xiu was really the lucky star in her life.
So the next day, Shen Xiu was invited to the county government office and received a thick red seal.
When the news came back to Xiuzhuang, Madam Hui discussed with Shen Xiu whether to spread the news as soon as possible.
Shen Xiu shook his head and said: "It's best not to let this matter spread out among us. Firstly, the county magistrate's wife has just got pregnant, so it's best not to make it public in the first three months. Secondly, if we deliberately release the news, then it will be the same as Ruyi's.
Just like the embroidery workshop, it has fallen behind."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Madam Hui knew that Shen Xiusu had an idea, so she chose to listen to her at this time.
Shen Xiudao: "None of the big families in our county are well-informed. I'm afraid that if the county magistrate's wife has something happy, they will know it soon. We only need to wait a few more days, and when they know the news, they will naturally come to our door.
Please ask us to embroider more tents."
Shen Xiu was so sure because wealthy families valued heirs the most. Regardless of whether the county magistrate's wife's happiness had something to do with the gauze tent, they would all think of it. After all, what wealthy families lacked was not money, but the heirs they couldn't get.
"Duo Zi Zhang." Madam Hui thought about these words for a moment, "This name has a good meaning. Since you want me to wait a few more days, then I will ask the embroiderers to prepare in advance and prepare a few more of these Duo Zi Zhang.
account."
This time Shen Xiu did not stop her, but agreed: "That's what I mean too. I plan to hand over the Nasha embroidery technique to three embroidery ladies, so that we can speed up the progress and embroider more gauze tents."
Huiniang was eager to speed up the progress, so she immediately agreed to the idea and called the three embroiderers over.
Wen Xiu Niang was originally worried about what happened, but she was relieved when she heard Hui Niang say that Shen Xiu wanted to teach them new techniques.
Shen Xiu looked at Wen Xiu Niang's relieved look and smiled slightly. The long line had been released, and she wanted to see if she could catch the big fish in Ruyi Xiu Fang this time.
