Chapter 346: Will definitely return home in glory
"The empress back then wasn't really an empress, but Consort Chu. The owner of the Fangxian Embroidery Tower wasn't really an owner either, but an unknown embroiderer in the Shangfu Bureau."
Granny Yu said, "One year, on the emperor's birthday, Concubine Chu had a unique idea. She found this embroiderer and asked her to embroider a picture of the landscape of Dakang for her, intending to pass it off as her own, and then give it to the emperor as a birthday gift."
"Noble Concubine Chu promised the embroiderer many benefits. In fact, even if she hadn't been offered any benefits, she couldn't have refused, after all, there was a huge difference in social status. After the embroiderer agreed, she was taken to Noble Concubine Chu's courtyard and worked day and night. Seeing that the emperor's birthday was getting closer and closer..."
The emperor's birthday was getting closer and closer, and despite Concubine Chu's precautions, something still happened.
Concubine Xin, who had always been at odds with Concubine Chu, found a cursed doll embroidered with the emperor's name and pierced with silver needles from Concubine Chu's bedroom.
The emperor was furious and wanted to banish Concubine Chu to the cold palace. At the critical moment, Concubine Chu pushed the blame onto the embroiderer.
Of course the embroiderer refused to admit it, and Concubine Chu threatened her.
The young and energetic embroiderer told Concubine Chu that she had asked her to embroider "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" for her.
Later, the matter of the cursed doll was investigated, and Concubine Xin was deposed and sent to the cold palace, but she was pregnant at the time and eventually gave birth to a baby boy in the cold palace.
Because Concubine Chu was deceitful, she was also neglected by the emperor and imprisoned in her own palace for half a year. Naturally, the birthday ceremony was put on hold.
Concubine Chu hated the embroiderer so much that she drove her out of the palace.
Knowing that her home was in the south of the Yangtze River, he deliberately ordered that she was not allowed to return home for the rest of her life and could only wander around unless she could finish embroidering the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
But after giving this order, she sent people to cut the tendons in the embroiderer's hands, and then threw her out of the palace to fend for herself.
"What happened to the embroiderer later?" Bao Ya asked.
Granny Yu said, "Later, she hid her identity and didn't leave the capital. She started out as a small embroiderer and eventually opened the Fangxian Embroidery House."
"What about her hands? Can she still do embroidery?" Yunhua asked anxiously.
Grandma Yu chuckled, "Later, she met a miracle doctor who healed her hand and she was able to do embroidery again. However, it's still not as good as before the injury."
Yunyue frowned: "Now that her hand is healed, why doesn't she go back and finish the scroll?"
"Perhaps, she wanted to personally travel around Dakang to experience the beautiful scenery, complete the embroidery, and finally return home in glory."
I don't know when the snow outside started to get heavier, and in a blink of an eye, the ground was covered with white.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Baoya stretched out her little hand and held Grandma Yu's big hand.
A soft voice said, "The owner of the Fangxian Embroidery Tower is a good person. She will definitely return home in glory."
"Yes," Grandma Yu nodded, smiling and pinching the little hair on Baoya's head, "I'm sure you can."
As the four were talking, the door outside creaked open and Qianqiong came back carrying bags of medicine.
Baoya and Yunyue said goodbye to Grandma Yu and Qianqiong and rushed to the academy for classes, while Yunhua stayed to learn embroidery.
It snowed all day, neither too heavy nor too light.
By the time class was over in the evening, Baoya's little feet had almost gone over her instep.
Jingzhen sent her and Yunyue to the branch shop, then turned back to Hongdouxuan.
When Baoya and the others arrived, Yun Dalang, Wang Cailian and Yun Sanlang had almost finished cleaning up the shop and were ready to close it and go home.
The three of them drove a bullock cart carrying the two children back to Feishui Village.
As soon as Baoya got home, she jumped out of the car like a rabbit and ran towards the house in a hurry, with Yunyue following closely behind her.
The two rushed into the small hall on the first floor and saw He Chunxiu and Li Rongyue sitting on chairs holding Chengxi and Chengshou and talking.
Seeing the two of them rushing in, He Chunxiu said angrily, "Slow down, you girls should be more graceful and not afraid of falling down."
"I'm not thinking about my brother."
Baoya stuck out her tongue, moved closer to her, and stretched out her little hand to poke Yun Chengxi's soft little face.
When Yun Chengxi was poked by her, he grinned. It was so funny that Baoya laughed along with him.
But Yun Chengshou in Li Rongyue's arms was still sleeping, and seemed to be sleeping soundly, with his little mouth smacking a few times.
Yunyue looked at Baoya and Yun Chengxi playing with their cheeks, eyes full of envy. She also imitated Baoya and poked Yun Chengshou's chubby little cheeks.
As a result, when she poked him, Yun Chengshou smacked his lips twice and a bubble of snot came out.
Yunyue: ...
Li Rongyue was amused and took out a handkerchief to wipe Yun Chengshou's nose. She said to Yunyue, "Yueya is so naughty. I think Chengshou is a perfect complement to you. He will definitely be an honest and obedient person in the future."
Yunyue pouted immediately: "Mom, why am I not listening?"
"You are obedient, but you are a little naughty as a girl." Li Rongyue rocked Yun Chengshou in her arms, and looked at her beautiful little daughter with a smile on her face.
Baoya teased Yun Chengxi for a while before she remembered the important matter.
When she was having breakfast in the shop that morning, the old man gave her two walnuts and asked her to bring them to her mother.
Thinking of this, she reached into her pocket and took out two walnuts and handed them to He Chunxiu.
"Mom, I was having breakfast at our shop this morning. An old man gave it to me and asked me to bring it to you."
He Chunxiu held Yun Chengxi, who was looking around with wide eyes, and freed one hand to take the thing Baoya handed over.
At first she didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was a customer who often dined at the shop who brought her something.
However, when she held the two walnuts in her hands, the smooth and round feel seemed a little familiar to her?
After taking a closer look, He Chunxiu suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Baoya, did that person just ask you to bring me these two walnuts? Didn't he say anything else?"
Baoya bit her little finger, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "He also said... that he would come to our shop for breakfast tomorrow."
He Chunxiu silently tightened her hands holding the two walnuts, bit her lip, and her eyes became a little red.
Baoya didn't notice her expression. She teased Yun Chengxi and said, "Mom, do you recognize that man? Why did he give you two walnuts? Will you go to town tomorrow?"
He Chunxiu took a deep breath and slowly played with the two smooth walnuts in her hands.
"I won't go," she said. "Just tell that person that I have to stay home to look after my brother and I really can't leave."
Baoya didn't know why she refused, but after hearing what she said, she nodded obediently.
He replied, “I remember it.”
I saw He Chunxiu rolling walnuts in her hands, and I didn't know what she was doing.
After watching for a while, he suddenly asked, "Mom, do we need to rub the walnuts before cracking them?"
He Chunxiu was originally still immersed in memories of the past, feeling filled with emotion, but when Baoya asked this, she burst out laughing.
"Silly child, these are not edible walnuts. If you want to eat walnuts, your mother will buy you a few pounds tomorrow."
