Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Although Lin Changning is a young lady from the Hou family, she is good at embroidery.

It's just that as a young lady from the Hou family, she is not good at embroidery, but she doesn't know how to make a lot of needlework with her own hands. Even her daily intimate clothes are made by the maid next to her. She can only embroider two handkerchiefs and sachets at most. Filial piety.

But this time after learning that Chen Xi had been named the chief of Huaishan County and came to the capital, she thought about how to surprise her future sister-in-law. After thinking about it, she came up with the idea of ​​a small table screen embroidered with a beautiful landscape painting.

Although Lin Changning has never been out of the capital, he has heard that Jiangnan has beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery that cannot be compared with the capital.

But the capital also has its majestic beauty, with its high mountains and long rivers, which also makes people yearn for it.

Lin Changning embroidered whenever she had free time these days. A thread was divided into eighteen parts, and the clouds seemed to be floating down from the embroidery pattern as realistically as possible, which amazed the maids around her.

A few days ago, Lin Changning took the embroidered pictures to be made into a screen. Yesterday, she finally gave them back. She couldn't bear to give them away when she saw them.

But when I think about the person who gave it to Chen Xi, my future sister-in-law, and when I think about my future, I think that even if this screen is exquisite and remains in my hands, it is not as valuable as giving it to Chen Xi.

So early the next morning, Lin Changning sent someone to guard Lin Changqing and told him to take her with him when he went to the Huaishan County Lord's Mansion.

Lin Changqing naturally planned to go to Chen Xi. He didn't expect Lin Changning to follow him today. But he thought that Chen Xi was also very close to Lin Changning and got along harmoniously with her. He smiled a lot more, so he endured it and took Lin Changning with him. go.

But when he saw that Lin Changning ordered someone to move a small box this time, he asked, "What's inside?"

"Yes

My gift to my future sister-in-law! "

Lin Changqing raised his eyebrows, and Lin Changning immediately said: "I should have given it earlier, but it was only made and sent back yesterday, so I can only give it to my future sister-in-law today."

Listening to Lin Changning shouting "future sister-in-law" one after another, Lin Changqing felt comfortable, said "hmm" and then got on the horse. Lin Changning got into the carriage, and the two of them headed to the main residence of Huaishan County together.

When the two entered the house, Chen Xi was having breakfast. Lin Changqing sat down and continued eating without politeness, but Lin Changning was at a loss.

Chen Xi pulled Lin Changning to sit down: "Come here so early, you must not have had breakfast. Sit down and eat together."

Lin Changning blushed and shook his head: "I'm waiting for the eldest brother and the county master, and I have some snacks."

"You have to have a good breakfast. What do you get from a few snacks? You are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Come on, try the breakfast at my house. Are you used to it?"

Lin Changning had no choice but to sit down and eat some together.

However, she was worried about whether Chen Xi would like the gift, so she seemed a little absent-minded.

Her appearance fell into Chen Xi's eyes. She looked at Lin Changqing and asked. Lin Changqing gave her a sign of peace, and then Chen Xi stopped asking.

As soon as he finished eating, Lin Changning immediately said: "Sister Xi, I actually prepared a meeting gift for you a long time ago, but I didn't calculate the time well. It was a little late to make it. I just got it yesterday. I asked my eldest brother to bring me with you early this morning. , I hope you, Sister Xi, will like my gift!"

The meeting gift that Chen Xi gave to Lin Changning was silk from Jiangnan. It was exquisite enough but not very expensive, so it was suitable for giving as a gift.

She thought that what Lin Changning sent was also for Xun

It was a common thing, but when I opened it, I found a small screen that could only be placed on the Kang table as an ornamental object. I immediately put it up in surprise.

I saw green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds, even the flowers, plants, birds and animals on the mountains, and the fish and stones swimming in the water were all vivid and vivid.

Chen Xi has also seen good things in Hangzhou, including all kinds of exquisite embroidery. She can tell at a glance that this landscape embroidery is the best among the best!

"So beautiful! But this gift is too expensive!"

When Lin Changning saw that Chen Xi liked it and even said it was valuable, he couldn't help but feel happy: "Sister Xi, don't refuse, I embroidered this myself, it shouldn't be considered expensive!"

This time Chen Xi was really surprised: "You embroidered it? Did you embroider it yourself?"

Lin Changning blushed and nodded happily.

Chen Xi immediately held Lin Changning's hand: "Sister, I can't even ask for it! Sister, you can say that your embroidery is sold in an embroidery shop in Jiangnan. This screen is worth at least ten thousand taels, which is too much It’s expensive!”

Lin Changning was also shocked: "Can it really be sold for tens of thousands of taels?"

"Can I still lie to you? So the gift is too expensive, and my sister can't take it. You keep it as a dowry!"

Lin Changning held Chen Xi's hand instead: "Sister Xi, this is a gift from me. How can I get it back? Brother, please help me persuade Sister Xi!"

Lin Changqing smiled and said: "I can't be her master."

Although it was just a word, Lin Changning understood better that her eldest brother respected and cared for County Master Huaishan, so she could not return this gift!

"Sister Xi, I am penniless and can't afford expensive gifts. I can only embroider a landscape painting for my sister as a gift for my further study. My sister wants

If you don't even accept this, doesn't it mean you don't accept me as your sister? "As he spoke, his eyes turned red and tears were about to fall.

Chen Xi looked at it and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, can't I accept it? But you must never give me such an expensive gift again in the future, but if you are interested in embroidering other works, if you want to do it, you can come Come to me and I will definitely give you a fair price!”

Lin Changning immediately put away his tears and asked in surprise: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. If there are similar screens or other embroideries in the future, you can bring them, but you have to take care of your body. Although I don't know embroidery, I also know that it takes a lot of effort to embroider such a work. , you can treat it as fun, but don’t care about one thing at the expense of the other, and don’t take care of your body!”

"Ok!"

Lin Changning was very happy, because today she knew that her embroidery was very valuable, and it was such a good thing that Chen Xi couldn't help but praise it.

This suddenly gave her great confidence!

She has decided that if she needs money in the future, she must ask the Lord of Huaishan County for help.

On this day, Chen Xi took Lin Changning shopping. His attitude was different from the previous few days. He seemed to be less enthusiastic. However, Lin Changqing was even happier because she could feel that Chen Xi no longer had that level of affection for her. False politeness, now she treats her eldest brother the same way he treats her, how can she be unhappy?

But today, Lin Changsheng did not chase them out again, but they still met someone they didn't want to meet, Princess Changrong.

It is said that Princess Changrong has been snatching the shops that Chen Xi is interested in for several days, and has been waiting for Chen Xi's reaction.

However, she heard that she, Lin Changqing and Lin Changning were shopping around together, as if they were not affected by the shop being robbed at all. How could this make her angry?

After thinking about it for several days, she finally couldn't sit still.

She wanted to see what was so good about this Chen Xi that could make Lin Changqing fall so deeply in love with her!
