Lin Wanwan opened the door and asked the servants outside, "Has anyone from the Lin Family Manor sent any news?"
Yun Shang, who was sitting embroidering, raised her head and said, "Go back to my wife, Yes, Mr. Meng Bolang and others have already sailed to the shore."
Lin Wanwan nodded: "How are you packing your luggage when you go back?"
Huanong smiled and said: "Don't worry, madam, keep them all!"
Hongyan then said: "Madam, Madam Xianghua came to see you just now and gave you a piece of red embroidery made by herself. Madam, would you like to see it?"
Lin Wanwan asked curiously: "Oh? What kind of it is it? Let me have a look."
"Here."
Lin Wanwan has sold a lot of modern cosmetics among the women in Qiantang in the past few days. For those young ladies who do not have enough money every month, Lin Wanwan also agreed to exchange them for embroidery, but she also exchanged a lot of embroidery for them.
At this time, Lin Wanwan was a little surprised when she looked at Xiao Xianghua's embroidery. Although this flower and bird embroidery was slightly inferior in technique to Yun Shang's embroidery, because of her painting skills, she combined embroidery and ink painting into one.
It is extremely exquisite and full of spirituality.
I didn’t expect Xiao Xianghua, a noble girl, to have such ability. Such a level of female celebrity is not something ordinary people can achieve. Xiao Xianghua has obviously worked hard. The other three young ladies in the house do not have such a level. Theirs
Lin Wanwan had all the embroidery items, all of which she came to exchange for cosmetics.
"Have you thanked Madam Xianghua for me?"
"I have returned the gift, don't worry, madam." Yun Shang put down the embroidery in her hand, packed up the box, and said with a smile, "Madam Xianghua's red needlework is inherited from Su embroidery, and she uses needles to paint. The conception is ingenious, which is rare. Madam
You can make it into a screen if you like."
"It's really good." Lin Wanwan stared at the embroidery for a while, but what she was thinking about was another thing.
There is also a kind of double-sided embroidery in Su embroidery that appeared in the Song Dynasty, which is also fascinating. If the stitching methods of double-sided embroidery can be told to a few sisters of the Xiao family, then this skill will be available to the world in advance! With Xiao Xianghua's knowledge of female celebrities
Level, I'm not sure, Lin Wanwan will be able to bring double-sided embroidery back to modern times in the future.
Well, it's not for selling money, it's just to make some contribution to intangible cultural heritage.
Lin Wanwan secretly made a noble excuse for herself. She didn't have the patience to learn embroidery, but it didn't stop her from enjoying it. Who doesn't like beautiful things?
"Okay, everyone, get ready. We will set off after I say goodbye to the elders." Lin Wanwan put down the embroidery and asked Hongyan to put it away, "Where is Xiao Yu'er?"
"I'm playing with my cousins in the big house. Rongrong is with me. Do you want to bring the little lady back?"
"Oh, no need. Let her play first. It won't be too late for me to say goodbye to my uncle's family. It won't be too late."
After saying that, Lin Wanwan took two maids, Hongyan and Huanong, and carried a basket of fruits to each elder's room to say goodbye. While Lin Wanwan was taking a nap (actually going back to modern times to treat her injuries), Xiao's mother and Mrs. Yuan had already prepared Lin Wanwan properly.
There was a lot of earthy rituals, so when Lin Wanwan went to say goodbye, she went very quickly.
Xiao Chong kept things simple and originally planned to set off directly from Xiao Mansion with Lin Wanwan, but because of what happened to Xiao Yixun today, he returned to Qiantang County Yamen and had a long talk with his cousin Lu Mingfu in the study.
When Xiao Chong said goodbye to everyone in the county government again, a group of people went directly to Xiao's mansion. Obviously, they were going for Xiao Yixun. People like Xiao Chong naturally said that they wanted to send Xiao Yixun off.
When she returns to Chang'an, she must be sent back to Chang'an, and she will never make false claims.
Not to mention Xiao Yixun's affairs, Lin Wanwan had already boarded her ship with two carts of earthen rituals prepared for her by everyone in the Xiao Mansion.
Lin Mengbo and others have been waiting at the pier for a long time. They haven't seen each other for a month, and this group of cousins have become quite dark.
"Brother Meng Bo, brother Meng Jin, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have become dark and thin."
Lin Mengjin smiled and said: "Hey, it's not because of hard work. I work under the sun all day long. I don't eat well and rest well. It's strange that I don't feel dark or thin."
Lin Wanwan said: "Is the labor service over?"
"Yes, the labor of the people in our area has ended. Twenty days is just twenty days, but one day is not much. It is not just our labor that has ended. Everyone else has stopped, and spring plowing will begin soon.
But there is no need to delay, the matter of other mountain weirs has been suspended."
"You have worked hard."
"Hey, this is not hard work. I have to work for the court for a while every year. I'm used to it. I'm lucky that I didn't miss the deadline and didn't rush the work."
Lin Wanwan nodded and asked: "How is the clan? Has anything unexpected happened?"
Lin Mengbo replied: "No, everything is fine. It's just that there was an accident when you asked the little slaves at home to go to school with the children of the clan. The little slaves were kicked out of the school by Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen said that he did not teach the mean.
If you are a native, then what... well, it's insulting to politeness."
Lin Wanwan frowned: "This old master is really an old-fashioned man. It is clear that Confucius, the sage of Confucianism, said, 'There is no distinction between education and distinction', yet he still picks on students."
There is absolutely no compromise on this matter. Lin Wanwan must restore her children's school status when she returns.
When she bought these children, she didn't really use them as servants. Her goal was to teach them to be talented so that they could have skills in the future. She didn't send any servants in the Xiao Mansion, she just gave orders when she had something to do.
Let your slave or Kunlun do it.
She couldn't do it by enslaving and exploiting a group of children in the first and second grade of elementary school. Not to mention doing as the Romans do, there was no need to accept all the dregs. Her more than 20 years of education had solidified her three views, no matter how crooked they were.
Not going anywhere.
But there is no need to mention these words to Lin Mengbo and others.
"Wanwan, you haven't left anything behind, right? Shall we set sail now? It's getting late, and it's already dark when we get home."
Lin Wanwan said: "Wait a moment, Xiao Mingfu will take our boat back to Luan County."
"Ah, Xiao... Xiao Mingfu is coming too?"
"Exactly."
"Uh, okay." Several men from Linjiazhuang looked at each other, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
When dealing with parents and officials, they are really uncomfortable, almost as uncomfortable as a modern student with an invigilator standing behind him during an exam.
Lin Wanwan watched the servants arrange her greetings in the cabin, and asked Huanong and others to open the curtain of the cabin on the second floor, and sit inside to enjoy the river view and others.
Before long, Lin Wanwan had just boiled the spring water, and Xiao Chong and three other people rode their horses to the dock.
There is no need to mention getting the horse on board and setting sail.
After the people in Linjiazhuang saluted Xiao Chong, they dispersed and got into the cabin to sail the boat. Originally, if Xiao Chong was not here, they might have taken turns coming to Lin Wanwan's place to eat and drink. But now?
, it is estimated that unless something unexpected happens, they will not show up before docking.
