Chapter 725 Purpose
Xia Zihan got straight to the point and said directly, "You have also seen what happened to Ding Cui. It was because she was restless and she brought the blame on herself. For the sake of you being relatively decent, I plan to give you a way out. Tell me, What are your plans?”
Ding Jie's face turned pale at first, but when she heard the next words, her face slowly returned to normal. She thought for a moment and then said, "Princess, I know that although the Queen gave us a reward to the Crown Prince, we are not blessed. without With that kind of blessing to serve the prince, I have no other extravagance. I just want a place where I can live in peace. I am good at embroidery. I heard that the Chu family has an embroidery room, and I want to do some work in the embroidery room.”
The embroidery work in the embroidery room is not tiring, it is very light, and the most important thing is that the embroiderers stay in the embroidery room all day doing work, and several households are isolated from the outside world. In the future, Princess Chu Yu will not have to guard against her meeting with Ding Cui. The same goes for the prince's attention.
It is impossible for the prince to go to the embroidery room in his life.
Furthermore, since she was working in the embroidery room, she didn't know anything about the Chu family. In the future, when the Queen sent someone to come, she would be able to find excuses.
Ding Jie's meaning is very simple. She doesn't want to carry out the Queen's order, seduce Chu Jingqi, cause trouble for Xia Zihan, and become her spy in the future. She also doesn't want Xia Zihan to guard against her and make her lose her footing in the Chu family. land.
She just wants to live peacefully.
The Queen and Xia Zihan were two people she could not afford to offend.
She can't afford to offend him, and she can afford to hide from him.
After thinking about it, she felt that the Chu family was a place that could shelter her from wind and rain. Apart from the Chu family, she had no way to go or anywhere to go.
When Xia Zihan heard this, he looked at Qinghui.
Qinghui did not agree with keeping such a person in Prince Anjun's Mansion. Although the embroiderer in the embroidery room rarely went out and had little contact with the servants at home, Ding Jie belonged to the Queen, and the Queen placed her there. The purpose of entering the Anjun Prince's Mansion was not pure. Knowing that she had a purpose, he still wanted to keep her people behind. He was not stupid.
Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens.
Xia Zihan also felt that it was not appropriate to keep Ding Jie in Anjun Prince's Mansion, as he would always be a bomb in the future.
She was not worried that Chu Jingqi would be seduced by her, but she suspected that the queen had inserted Ding Cui and Ding Jie into Prince Anjun's palace. In addition to causing trouble for her, she was afraid that she had other purposes.
Xia Zihan thought for a while and then said, "There is no shortage of people in the embroidery room of Prince Anjun's mansion. If you want to be an embroiderer, I will arrange for you to go to the embroidery room of Yusha Pavilion."
"Yusha Pavilion? Is it the number one clothing store in the capital?" Ding Jie's eyes were bright. When she saw Xia Zihan nodding, she kowtowed and said, "Thank you so much, Princess, thank you so much, Princess. I will definitely work hard in the future. Don’t embarrass the princess.”
She had long known about the reputation of Yusha Pavilion. The queen especially liked to wear Yusha Pavilion's clothes when she was a girl at home. The embroidery work there was beautiful and uncanny, and she especially liked it.
If she could enter Yusha Pavilion and be an embroiderer and be protected by Princess Chu Yu, it would be as safe as being an embroiderer in Prince An's embroidery room. More importantly, Yusha Pavilion was the number one ready-to-wear shop in the capital, and she was in it. , you can definitely learn a lot of tricks.
Ding Jie agreed immediately.
When Qinghui left, Nuanyu also sent a maid to send Ding Jie to the embroidery room of Yusha Pavilion. Two days later, Qi Lan came to visit Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan asked about Ding Jie.
Qi Lan said with a smile, "You are worthy of serving the Queen. Not only is she calm and neat in her work, her embroidery skills are also absolutely top-notch. Although she is not as good as our embroiderers, I believe that after training for a while, The embroidery skills can definitely catch up with our embroiderers. Princess, it’s hard to recruit good embroiderers. This time, you have recruited a good embroiderer for us.” “It’s good if she does well. I’m relieved.” "Xia Zihan said.
Qi Lan opened the baggage she brought. It was full of children's clothes, both boys' and girls'.
Qi Lan said, "A while ago, everyone was busy making goods for the New Year. Knowing that you were pregnant, we didn't have time to make some small clothes for you. No, in the past few days, there have been a few embroidery workers staying in the embroidery room for the New Year. After my mother had some free time, she found some pieces of soft fabric and made some clothes for the child in your belly.”
"I don't know if you are pregnant with a boy or a girl, they just had six sexes."
In addition to clothes, there are also small socks, small soft-soled shoes, and small hats. Qi Lan pointed to the pairs of small soft-soled shoes and said, "I made these pairs of shoes. If I have time to change them tomorrow, I will Making a few pairs.”
The little shoes are very beautifully made, with vivid little animals embroidered on them, including yellow ducks, red birds, and a group of little frogs in the lotus pond.
Xia Zihan looked at each other and couldn't put it down, but she still said, "You have two children at home to take care of, you have to serve your mother-in-law, and you have to take care of things in the shop. You are busy enough. I am here You don’t have to worry about it, the maids around me will make clothes for the children in their free time.”
What she said was true. Ever since she became pregnant, Nuanyu had bought a batch of fabrics specifically for children's clothes and shoes. A maid shared a batch of them. When they had free time, they would go to the flower room to do needlework. live.
Now, three boxes are filled with the child's clothes, shoes and socks, and Nuan Yu has already asked the maid to start making clothes for the child who is three years old.
"My mother-in-law is a good person. Since Nuanxiang and I both gave birth to sons, our two daughters-in-law no longer need to take care of the family affairs. The children are all taken care of by the wet nurse and mother-in-law, so there is no need for us."
Besides, she and Nuan Xiang spent money to buy sixteen servants for their family. If anything happened at home, the servants would do it. Her parents-in-law didn't have to worry about anything. They just played with their children at home.
During the past few days of the Chinese New Year, she and Nuan Xiang were serving their mother-in-law at home. Her mother-in-law felt uncomfortable all over, saying that she had been poor all her life and had never enjoyed such a decadent life where she had to put food on the table and open her mouth.
On New Year's Eve, her father-in-law said in front of the whole family that when spring came, he would take back the ten acres of land at home and plant it himself.
He said that he had been busy all his life and could not live a leisurely life.
It took the two brothers Zheng Qing to persuade them for a long time before they persuaded their parents. Otherwise, after spring, the two old men might really put aside everything in the capital and take their children to live with Zheng's family on the outskirts of the city.
Xia Zihan said, "Your mother-in-law is easy to talk to, but if they can't get used to staying in the capital, let them live in the suburbs. Otherwise, if you force them to stay, they will not be happy."
Qi Lan frowned, "My mother-in-law is going to live outside the city, so she will definitely take the child with her. Nuan Xiang and I are reluctant to let go of the child."
"Then buy a big house to live in, and get a big yard for them to grow. They can grow whatever they want, including grains, vegetables, and fruits. In short, if they can't stay idle, just let them stop being idle."
Xia Zihan gave her some advice.
