Chapter 209 Please embroider a purse for me
The two of them stood leaning against the fence for a long time. Jing Chunxi was just thinking that he didn't have to do anything and could take a break.
The guy turned serious again: "Go down and jump up from the bottom step. See how many steps you can jump at once. Jump up and down twenty times in a row."
Jing Chunxi almost fainted, but still did not dare to disobey.
After easily jumping five levels at once, Jing Chunxi finally smiled. "So this is the purpose of weighted running? I could only jump three levels originally."
I used to love jumping over stairs the most. I couldn’t always jump over three steps. Even if I grew a little taller, it would be impossible for me to jump over two more steps at once. I felt that my body was not as light as before.
Tao Jin didn't say anything, still with a teasing expression, and raised his chin slightly: You just found out!
After a long while, he said, "You're still far from being able to fly over eaves and walk on walls. Tomorrow, I'll use a two-jin sandbag and continue running three laps."
Fortunately, Chunxi had thought they would be running six laps with a one-pound sandbag tied to their backs! She didn't want to run too far or take too long. By the time she finished her stumbling run, the whole village would be watching. She didn't want to be a monkey.
Finally there was some progress, and this time Jing Chunxi was not angry.
If you are not a child of gods, it is impossible to get something for nothing. There is no benefit in the world that you can pick up for no reason. Since you have made up your mind to learn, you have to persevere no matter how hard or tiring it is.
She believed that only when she could run five or ten laps while carrying a load of five or ten kilograms would she be able to jump onto the roof easily. However, at that time, she might only be able to run with the secret guards.
"Is there nothing to express during the New Year?" someone suddenly said this.
Jing Chunxi didn't expect to receive gifts when she came out. Normally, peers like them didn't need to give out "lucky money" during the Chinese New Year, but what Tao Jin gave her was not "lucky money". Instead, she took out a pair of butterfly hairpins. The thin golden butterfly wings were inlaid with small rubies, which sparkled and looked very beautiful. However, such precious things could not be worn in the village, so it seemed that they could only be kept in the capital.
"I don't have anything prepared." Jing Chunxi said a little guilty, and hurriedly looked in the space to see if there was anything suitable to give him, hoping that he would politely say "No thanks."
Tao Jin did not do as she expected: "Give me a purse."
Suddenly she felt that she had made a fortune, but when she thought about the needlework she had not done since her hand was pricked by a needle, Jing Chunxi felt guilty again.
"My needlework is not that good, how about..." Jing Chunxi thought of Chuntao who was good at needlework, and wanted to ask someone else to do it, and who would know?
But she was stopped before she could finish her words. Tao Jin seemed to have read her mind again and said with a slight annoyance: "Only embroidered ones are sincere. Don't try to fool me with other things. There are many purses in the market that cost only a dozen coins each."
That expression means: It’s not like I can’t afford it.
Jing Chunxi accepted his fate: "As long as you don't mind the ugliness."
"I woke up from my nap at noon and started embroidering quickly. I still have time, so I can just embroider a few more." Others would take a day or two to embroider a purse, but he gave him enough time, so if he embroidered a few, there would always be one that was good-looking.
Hoo hoo! Jing Chunxi wanted to grab her hair. Embroidering one piece would kill her, and she wanted to embroider several more. Was she going to go through so much trouble without any money?
Starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chuntao discovered that the young lady had started to make progress. She could choose scraps of cloth, organize gold threads, and ask for advice from her and Nanny Wang. She could spend half a day in Si's room embroidering purses.
But I was never satisfied with the embroidery I had done, and would start changing the cloth in less than an hour. In short, I was either messing with the cloth or myself.
Chuntao secretly took out the thing she had embroidered that was not even finished and threw it aside to admire secretly with Nanny Wang. One of them said it was a goldfish, and the other said it was a wonton. When Xiaotuanzi saw it, he said it was obviously a meat egg.
What exactly is being embroidered? Only the young lady herself knows.
That day, after returning home and taking a shower, Jing Chunxi couldn't fall asleep after lying down on the bed for a while.
The two little dumplings were knocking on the door desperately, and outside the door there were voices of people wishing each other good fortune and a happy new year.
Even her grandmother, who always loved her very much, refused to let her sleep any longer. She ran to their yard and knocked on the door like a child: "Sister Xi, get up quickly. You have to get the red envelope for the New Year and grab the blessings quickly." The noisy voice drove away Jing Chunxi's sleepiness.
As Tang Shuang wiped her face, she said excitedly, "The red envelopes given by the masters are all very big, unlike the ones given by others which are only a few coins."
Then he continued, "The old general and the old lady both gave one tael, and the other masters gave silver coins. Young master, you have to help me keep them tonight."
Seeing her happy words, Jing Chunxi teased her, "Don't you want to save some pocket money? Maybe I'll take you to the city in a few days."
Sugar Frosting laughed heartily: "When I go to the city, I spend my money. If I like something, I can stay here and ask the young master to buy it for me."
The silly girl who was originally timid now knows how to blackmail people, and she thinks it is justified to do so.
She was immediately slapped by Chun Tao, who was helping the young lady find new clothes: "You only know how to bully the young lady, why don't you ask Jing Yi to buy it for you."
Sugar Frost pretended to say "Ouch" and laughed even more happily: "He doesn't have as much money as the young master."
Chuntao shook her head. The young groom was particularly nice to Tangshuang, and he fed her delicious food all day long. Although Tangshuang was tall and strong, she still had the mind of a child and could not understand anything.
However, Tangshuang was only fourteen after the Chinese New Year, and it was still too early for her to get married. Even Nanny Wang asked her not to point it out, and the eldest daughter of their family was even slower to realize it.
After washing her face and putting on the spring gown her mother brought her from the capital, Chuntao felt that the original wooden hairpin was no longer suitable for their young lady, and after hesitating for a long time, she didn't put it on her head.
It was actually a white inner garment with a pink outer skirt. The lady had red lips and white teeth, and looked pretty and charming, but she didn't even have a nice headdress.
Jing Chunxi finally took out the butterfly head flower that he thought he would only use when he arrived in Beijing.
Chun Tao was satisfied only after she put the hairpin on. Tang Shuang was stunned: "Young Master, you look so beautiful! Even more beautiful than a fairy."
It has been a long time since I saw such a light in Tang Shuang's eyes. Jing Chunxi knew that she must be beautiful today without looking in the mirror. She couldn't help but want to kiss both of them on the face.
"You look beautiful wearing silk flowers." Everyone dressed up their best on New Year's Day, and the silk flowers distributed by Jing Chunxi also worked.
Jing Chunxi stood up, lifted her skirt, and ran to the old lady's courtyard. Along the way, she received many envy and red envelopes. As soon as she entered the door, she kowtowed to the two elders: "Greetings, Grandmother! Greetings, Grandfather! I wish you good health and a long life!"
