The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 497
Because she doesn't know how to do it, she naturally doesn't know the good or bad of various acupuncture techniques. She was originally a modern person, and she didn't have high requirements for mastering this skill.

And children can't.After all—their living space is like this. Although Su Xiazhi didn't expect the children to become masters of embroidery, at least they still need to learn how to mend and mend what women should know.

"I'll take care of it." Jiang Wen said with a smile to those sitting across from each other: "The children have been calling me uncle for a long time, so I can't call me uncle for nothing..."

A bowl of fish fillets entered the stomach of Mr. Guo, and it has a huge effect!
It was noon the next day when someone came to the door.

Looking at the imposing woman who couldn't tell how old she was in palace attire, Su Xiazhi scratched her head, not knowing what to call her!

"What should I call you?" The two parties greeted each other, and Su Xiazhi welcomed him into the main room and made a gesture of invitation.

"Mrs. Hui Min, I am Yan Xi, the seventh-rank embroidery officer of the Shangyi Bureau. I have come out of the palace to work in your mansion at the order of the empress."

As soon as the words were finished, Yan Xi's eye circles turned red, and she was about to cry.

Ok?What's happening here?Seeing her expression, Su Xiazhi felt a drum in her heart: Why do I feel like a bully who robs civilian girls? The girls are already in the door, and they are still reluctant...

"Yan Xi... isn't it?" Pulling her to sit down, she raised her hand and poured a cup of tea in front of Yan Xi, then Su Xiazhi said: "I have three daughters, and I need a master to give them to them some needlework..."

"Early in the morning, the empress told the servant girl that the servant girl entered the palace at the age of 15 and has been working in the clothing bureau. Her natal family is the Yan family in Annan County, and her ancestral inheritance is the embroidery method of the Yan family. This, as long as you can trust the servant girl, madam, the ladies The needlework can still be taught by servants."

It was the first time to deal with a woman in the palace, and Su Xiazhi felt a headache when he heard the words of "servant" in the other party's mouth!

In fact, her hand was indeed patting her forehead...

"I'm not worried about your craftsmanship, but..."

"Forget it, I still have something to say." Su Xiazhi put down his hand, looked at Yan Xi and said, "I see the reluctance in your eyes, if you are reluctant to leave the palace, just go back, I will give it to the children again Master please..."

"Your maidservant doesn't mean that!" Before Su Xiazhi finished speaking, Yan Xi stood up again, bowed her head to Su Xiazhi and said, "My maidservant has reached the age of release from the palace, and she was supposed to go out this year."

"It's just that the empress is kind, and she can't be better to the servants in the palace. The servants just think of what the empress told the servants before leaving the palace, so they are a little out of control..."

"Oh——" Su Xiazhi breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded with a drawn out voice: "Then how old are you this year?"

"Young maidservant is twenty this year..." As soon as this age was mentioned, Yan Xi's face turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

In ancient times, women married early and got engaged earlier.

And it can be said that there are very few people like Jing Jing who have never been married until their death.

There are not many women like Yan Xi who have been in the palace for a few years before being released, and no matter what their natal background is, they are not easy to marry after they come out.

After all, they have stayed in the palace, and the women in the palace are the emperor's women in the eyes of outsiders. Who would want to marry such a woman?

Therefore, a large part of them will spend their entire lives alone with the silver that has left the palace.

So when Yan Xi said her age, she blushed.

"It's not big, it's younger than me!" Su Xiazhi knew why she was embarrassed, so she pulled her to sit down again: "You sit and drink tea, and I'll call a few girls over, take a look."

"I'll go with you. There's no reason to let the lady come to see the servant girl." Yan Xi hurriedly got up, put down the small bag in her arms, and wanted to follow her out.

"Then go together." Su Xiazhi smiled and took her arm, then walked out and said: "I'm used to it, if you see a few little girls who fall in love with each other and are willing to stay, that's the best, if not, Don't force yourself..."

"There's one more, if you really keep it, you don't have to say 'servant' when we talk in the future, I'm tired after listening..."

Yan Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled more freely: "I wrote it down."

"Yes, that's all!"

Although Yan Xi left the palace under the order of the empress, it was Jiang Wen who passed the word to his sister. Su Xiazhi could trust him, so she was naturally at ease with Yan Xi.

After introducing several little girls who pretended to be dumb when they met strangers one by one, Su Xiazhi handed over the daughters to her with confidence: "If you think my daughters are still good at teaching, then stay ..."

Yan Xi's temperament is gentle and gentle, and she stayed in the palace for another five years. At first, she was worried that this lady minister's wife would not be easy to get along with. went home...

Now she was relieved, looked down at the well-behaved little girls and said softly, "Mrs. Xie Min takes her in!"

"Accept?" Su Xiazhi came out of the rooms of a few little girls, and then figured out the meaning of Yan Xi's words: "Hey, I don't want to leave..."

There were several houses in the courtyard two times, and several little girls occupied three rooms in the main room, so Su Xiazhi arranged Yan Xi's residence in the east wing of the backyard.

Yan Xi followed her in and took a look, not to mention how satisfied she was: "it's really nice here, so clean."

Leaving home at the age of 15 and leaving the palace at the age of 20, Yan Xi spent the past five years with the sisters of the needlework and clothing bureaus, so living in isolation made her a little afraid of contacting people.

Today, His Majesty has no concubines in the six palaces and only favors the queen and empress, and there are much fewer people left in the palace than in the past.

Although the empress is in charge of the harem and is very good to the servants in the palace, she has already let go, if they want to leave the palace early, it is okay.

But Yan Xi and most of the women in the palace will not leave until the last time they leave the palace. One of the big reasons for this is that even if they return to their original place innocently, they will be gossiped about. Stretch to include your own family!

Therefore, returning home after leaving the palace is not the most desired result for women like them.
