Calm Little Lady: The Queen's Leisurely Life

Chapter 18 The Return of the Master [5]

【Master Returns【5】】

Watching Aunt Chen finish eating the steamed bun gracefully in small bites, Diu Diu handed the peeled boiled egg to Aunt Chen.

"Godmother, it's my birthday today, let's have a boiled egg."

Aunt Chen took Bai Shengsheng's boiled eggs, looked at them with a smile and said, "Don't just watch me eat, I'm still waiting to see how you look in skirts after eating."

Diudiu sighed exaggeratedly: "Godmother, why do you still remember this?"

After talking and laughing, the two of them ate breakfast and cleaned up the dishes together. Mrs. Chen couldn't wait to drag Diudiu to the East Wing.

This yard was specially bought by the master for Diudiu. In addition to the three main rooms and two wing rooms, there is the kitchen and firewood room in the backyard.

Shigong lives in the east room of the main room, master lives in the west room, Diu Diu lives in the west room, and the east room is Mrs. Chen's bedroom.

Master loves Diudiu very much, and he doesn't want Diudiu to be a little girl hanging out with the men of the Beggar Gang, so he bought this small courtyard in an alley not far from the main rudder of the Beggar Gang.

Diu Diu also likes Shigong very much, but since Shigong passed on the position of leader of the beggar gang to Master last year, he went on a long trip and hasn't seen him for a year, Diudiu is very concerned about him.

In the past, no matter how busy Shigong and Master were on Diudiu's birthday, they would rush back to celebrate Diudiu's birthday with her, but this year, I don't know if I will be able to see Shigong.

Diudiu followed Mrs. Chen into the back room of the East Wing, and saw Mrs. Chen's bed straightly covered with a water-blue gauze dress.

"Ah! What a beautiful dress." Diu Diu walked quickly to the bed, stretched out his fingers and gently brushed over the light and thin material, the transparent skirt was embroidered with lively and fragrant white lotuses.

Diudiu couldn't help but said, "Godmother, isn't this piece of fabric expensive?"

Mrs. Chen explained with a smile: "Last month, I sewed a wedding dress for the owner's daughter of Jinxiu Village. The owner's wife and young lady were very satisfied. Not only did they give me the wages, but they also specially gave me this piece of fabric as a token of gratitude. It is said to be the most famous cloud silk brocade in the south of the Yangtze River. It is light, comfortable, soft and smooth. After seeing it, I think it is suitable for you to make a summer skirt, so I accept it without hesitation. Come on, quickly change it for your godmother to see. Look."

Diudiu looked at Mrs. Chen's washed-out coarse cloth dress, and couldn't help but feel a bit shy in her eyes: "Godmother, you only have two sets of coarse cloth dresses, you should make yourself a dress."
