Chapter 50: Craftsmanship
At first, I wanted to choose one of Grandma Li's apprentices to be the wife of the third child, but unfortunately the old lady had already arranged a marriage with the Chen family.
However, the apprentices that Grandma Li accepted were all legitimate daughters of serious families, and they were too close to refuse her. The Princess of Zhaohe who was born to Concubine Yuan, Grandma Li dismissed her because she said her qualifications were dull and dull.
This thirteen-year-old girl is neither the eldest daughter nor the first daughter-in-law, and the Chen family is only a second-rate official family. Grandma Li actually accepted this girl as her close disciple.
Madam Tai was a little surprised at first, and her eyes became a little complicated when she looked at Chun Ge.
The eldest wife looked at it secretly and smiled: "It's not true. When I heard what my third brother and sister said, I couldn't believe it. Later, the third brother and sister told me that this girl had drawn several patterns by herself.
She took it out and asked others to make embroidery patterns. Somehow, Grandma Li saw it and came to the door in person, insisting on accepting this girl as a closed disciple. She rented a yard next to her home and did not ask for any support from my three younger siblings.
I taught this girl about eating and drinking for five full years before I returned to Jiangnan to retire."
When the eldest lady said this, she felt a little jealous.
A girl born from a common concubine, if her pure beauty could have been so blessed back then, she would not have had to suffer the hardship of marrying into the Duke's Mansion to a warrior like Li Jianan. Maybe even the queen can do it now, and her family still has to look at the Li family's face.
!
But so what if this girl is so blessed. Aunt Li should return to the home of her children and grandchildren to take care of her in old age. With the temperament of her third brother and sister, a concubine has received such a blessing, but her biological daughter has not. What kind of good marriage can she promise?
If I had not gone to Suinan and picked this girl, I would only be able to embroider a pair of cotton socks for my husband and mother-in-law, or exchange them for money to supplement the family income.
The lady pondered for a moment, then clapped her hands and laughed and said, "This girl looks like she is really lucky."
When the eldest lady heard it, the corners of her eyes twitched, but she didn't answer and just drank her tea with a smile.
Chun Ge was held by the concubine's hand, looking obedient and quiet. No matter what kind of interaction he saw between the concubine and the eldest concubine, she would just stay silent. Occasionally she would smile shyly and timidly, and she would look at the faces of Chen Chunli and Chen Chunyao.
His eyes were also calm.
I have tried my best to show my best side and please the Madam. Next, I can only wait for the Madam, the Eldest Madam and Chen Chunfang to decide on the candidate.
The eldest wife has always been interested in him because he is obedient and easy to control. At this time, he must not cause any trouble. Otherwise, if the eldest wife uses scheming methods, no matter how much the eldest wife likes him, it will be in vain.
Chun Ge kept on guarding secretly.
When the maid brought the porridge and Chun Ge and others had finished eating, Yao's mother went to Mrs. Tai and whispered a few words in her ear. After hearing this, Mrs. Chu glanced at Chun Ge and the others and said with a smile: "You guys
I guess the little girls play different from us older people. You haven’t visited our yard yet, so I’ll ask a few maids to take you for a walk, and then I’ll go to your eldest sister’s room.
Look at her. Your eldest aunt and I will stay here to talk."
The eldest lady guessed that the madam wanted to keep her to discuss candidates, and also wanted Chen Chunfang to see people again, so she hurriedly responded.
Chen Chunli put on her sister's show, got up first, took Chen Chunyao and Chun Ge to say thank you, and followed the maid out.
The wife looked at the three figures and exchanged a knowing look with Yao's mother.
