Chapter 20 Promoted

This is Qing Huan's first visit to Fourth Girl's yard.

Just looking at the appearance of the third girl, she must have been here many times.The fourth girl was still not far behind, Qing Huan wanted to wait at the door.The third girl pulled Qing Huan in first.

Qing Huan was pulled in by a strong force, never expecting the third girl to be so powerful.

Before Qing Huan could be surprised, the third girl let go of Qing Huan's hand and walked into the room swaggeringly.

If it wasn't for Ling Lu's cleverness who followed behind him, he would have almost fallen down.

"Wait." Qing Huan shouted.

The third girl turned her head: "It's not that the fourth sister doesn't know the way, let's go in and sit down first."

Then go inside.

Qing Huan stomped her feet, turned around and saw the figure of the fourth girl, and then went to chase the third girl.

A servant girl walked out of the room, it was Shunhao who came out after hearing the noise.

"Third Miss." Shunhao was taken aback for a moment and quickly realized, walking up to the Third Miss and saluting.

"Well, take me to your girl's study room, by the way, and... Miss Seven." Looking back at Qing Huan, the third girl said.

"You girls are behind, and Fifth Sister is also there." Qing Huan said.

Shun nodded.

Go ahead and plan to lead the way.

The fourth girl's study room is very large, and two wing rooms are connected to form a study room.

There is a bookshelf in one corner of the room, which is densely packed with books.

I don't know if I've seen them all, Qing Huan thought to herself, even if it's only half of it, it's a lot.

Shun took a good look at Qing Huan, thought for a while and said: "You two girls wait a moment, I'll go and make a pot of tea."

The third girl was looking at the painting on the table in front of the desk, ignoring Shun Hao's meaning.

Qing Huan could only say: "You go."

Shunhao went out a few steps, just in time to meet Fourth Miss and Fifth Miss.

"Are they in the study?"

Although it is a question?But Shun Hao knew that the fourth girl had already been confirmed.Then he nodded, lifted the empty teapot on the handle and said, "I'm going to boil the pot of hot water."

The fourth girl nodded and led the fifth girl to the study.

By chance, he saw this and left for a while.

Fourth Miss didn't make a sound either, Qing Huan stood up in the study, and said with a little embarrassment: "Fourth Sister..."

The fourth girl waved her hand and sat on a chair beside her.

"I don't know what kind of drawing Seventh Sister wants. If you tell me about it, I'll have a better idea."

Speaking of business, Qing Huan straightened his face.

The third girl also pricked up her ears.

"Several sisters also know that this time it is just a coincidence that they chose to use bead embroidery as a forehead wipe. The new idea is that it is different from simple embroidery wipes. It's just that this bead embroidery has a disadvantage that it can only be used simply to wipe the forehead. If the needle and thread are fixed, if the pattern on it is cumbersome, it will definitely not be able to be made."

"It's just that if it's simple, it's meaningless." The third girl said.

Qing Huan nodded, and didn't care about her interruption, and said, "So I just wanted to draw some simple patterns, but although the patterns are simple, there must still be auspicious meanings in them. After all... ..." Qing Huan smiled, but did not say the following words.

But everyone here knows what she means.

"Do you want full bead embroidery?" Miss Wu asked in a low voice.

Fourth Miss said, "Does Fifth Younger Sister have any ideas?"

Miss Wu smiled shyly, and looked up to see Qing Huan looking at herself with encouraging eyes.Then he boldly said: "I was thinking that if it is full-beaded flowers, I should simply choose one thing as the main pattern, and then decorate some folded flowers on the side. If possible, write a few '* 'Character."

"How does Fourth Sister feel?" Qing Huan asked with a smile.

The fourth girl pondered for a while, then quickly nodded and said: "I think it's good too, but what should I choose as the main pattern, phoenix? Peony, egret or other flowers."

This is a problem.

Qing Huan has never been chosen.

First of all, it is not clear how the fourth girl can draw a suitable pattern in the case of bead embroidery.Secondly, she didn't intend to steal all the limelight for herself.

Anyway, this bead embroidery must have come from my own hands, and anyone with a discerning eye will know whose handiness it is.But in the place of the old lady, Qing Huan wouldn't be too conspicuous.

"Draw a boy holding a carp." The third girl felt everyone's eyes, couldn't help but bend the corner of her mouth and said, "Last time I saw an embroidery at my aunt's place, which was a picture of a boy holding a carp. I think it's very good." Yes, it seems that the elders like it. I just don’t know if the fourth sister can draw it..."

The meaning of the third girl is of course to ask the fourth girl if she can simply outline the pattern of a boy holding a carp with a few strokes. After all, it is too complicated to do.

"I'm fine." The fourth girl asked Qing Huan: "Is there a problem with the color matching of the beads? I heard that you took more than half of it and made it into a bracelet for the second sister?"

Qing Huan had no intention of hiding this matter, and she couldn't hide it with the appearance of the second girl.

"Well, those are all made of bead embroidery, and I saved some of them. I'll just look at your drawings for color matching."

Hearing this, the fourth girl got up and walked to the painting table.

After going back and forth, Shunqiao came in with a plate of melons and fruits, and hurriedly put the things on the side coffee table.Walking to the table, I added water to the painting material basin and studied it carefully.

The fourth girl pondered for a while, and stopped with the banknotes in her bare hands.

"How do you see it?"

Qing Huan put down the teacup and went to explore the case.

"Awesome."

It's not that a few strokes make the painting look alike, but it also has a form and spirit.As long as the beads are embroidered on this basis, it will be fine.

"Fourth sister, the painting is really good." Fifth girl said enviously while sipping tea.

"This is for you to have a rough idea. If you think it's good, you can draw according to this. I'll add the word * and plum blossoms that Sanjie said."

"Just follow what Fourth Sister said." The third girl nodded.

Qing Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

This drawing is settled.You only need to wait for the fourth sister to draw a complete one, and then you can start bead embroidery by yourself.Estimated the time, it should be in time.

. . . . . .

The official position of the Daqi State follows the model of the previous dynasty, with three provinces and six ministries.

When the old master Yan was there, he used to be the left and right prime minister in Shangshu Province, and the old master got a fifth-rank vacancy because of the old master.

In the past ten years, it has only been promoted to the fourth rank.

There are not many officials of the fourth rank in the capital, but they are not very big positions, plus there are many families of the Houfu, princes and nobles.After Old Master Yan passed away, the Yan Mansion was silent for a while.

It wasn't until the news about the marriage between the second girl and Uncle Ruyang's son came out recently that the Yan family came into the eyes of the nobles again.

The elder who has always held the fourth-rank title but no serious official position, after receiving a decree, was promoted to the former Shaoqing from the third-rank Taipusi.

As the name suggests, the Taipu Temple is the department where the Taipu belongs, which is the highest organ in the country that controls horse affairs.The position of Shaoqing is also the highest official of Taipu Temple.

Although this position is not very important.

But Gui Zai said that he is also in charge of horse administration in the Daqi army. You must know that Daqi ruled the country by force.Military martial arts are sometimes more popular than scribes.

Of course, the truth is that all the military horses needed in the army are in charge of the Ministry of War in the six departments.

Apparently, this unimportant but somewhat prestigious official position was specially requested by the Ruyang uncle's mansion for the great master.After all, they will be married at the beginning of next year, neither Uncle Ru Yang nor the eldest son He Jitong want their in-laws to have a low title.

The Grand Master accepted the decree and sent out the angel who delivered the decree.

The old lady has let everyone else go, and she is the only one left in Rongshou Hall.

As soon as the old man entered, Mama Wang was guarding the door.

The old lady counted the beads one by one.

The old man didn't dare to show his air, he sat down obediently, the elation he had just received the order has already faded.

"The second girl's dowry should be increased by two cents."

"This..." The elder frowned and said: "Mother, because of the marriage, the second girl is much thicker than the previous example of the first daughter getting married. If it is a little bit thicker now, then... ..."

The old lady patted the tea table and scolded the old man: "You think I don't know. You are just afraid that Aunt Qing will make trouble with you in Sanyatou's dowry in the future. You don't believe that Sanyatou is just a concubine, let alone her Can you have half of the second girl in the marriage? You don't even think about whose reason you made your will today. It's not the girl born to Aunt Qing, but Qian Huan. And the dowry is too much, then Uncle Ruyang's House naturally knows our intentions. In the future, you can't be promoted as an official, so what do you want to do with them?"

There was a hint of embarrassment on the elder's face.

After Aunt Qing knew the amount of the second girl's dowry, she often applied eye drops in front of the elder, and of course she also took the opportunity to promise benefits to the third girl.

Once the old man was poured with the ecstasy soup, he became so dazed again.

"Let me tell you the truth, rest your thoughts. Not to mention the second girl, the fourth girl's dowry will be better than the third girl's. If Aunt Qing cares about it, you go tell her to let her take out her dowry. Since ancient times Isn’t the mother’s dowry going to the daughter as a dowry?”

Aunt Qing came in with a sedan chair and two or three bundles.Where can there be the dowry that the old lady said.

The old lady also knew, but said so on purpose.

The old master didn't dare to refute, and smiled apologetically: "My son is confused for a while, so mother must not get angry. If he gets angry, his son has committed a crime."

The old lady's complexion eased, and the rosary in her hand began to move again.

"It's not that I don't love Sanya. If she also marries to the Hou's Mansion in the future, I will give her a generous dowry."

The Eldest Master knew that the so-called extra two points was just an increase of the dowry of the original concubine.The sum of all of them is probably not half of Er Yatou's.

But with so much won, the Elder Master didn't dare to offend the old lady anymore.

I secretly thought that I would add some from my private room in the future.

I have to say, for the third girl, the elder is really a loving father.

Compared to Fifth Miss and Qing Huan, Third Miss lived the most fulfilling life in this Yan Mansion.

The Elder Master and Aunt Qing are responsible for everything.
