Chapter 220 Gift
Chapter 220 Gift
Lin Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly proud of himself. As expected, his aunt really liked beautiful clothes. When this was mentioned, her attention was immediately diverted.
Song Ying stood up, took out the snow coat, opened it and showed it to Doctor Lin.
"The style is not bad." Doctor Lin commented, and then he looked at the collar, cuffs, bottom edge, etc., and nodded: "The details are also good."
After a pause, she changed the subject, "It's just not very original, it's very dull. It would be better if you could embroider a lazily sleeping fox on one shoulder."
Song Ying imagined the effect of the embroidery. Combined with the white fur on the collar, it would look like a little fox sleeping with its tail coiled up. It was indeed very creative. However, "Master, my collar is made of rabbit fur, not a rabbit with a big tail."
"What's the big deal? It's just a metaphor. It doesn't mean that if you embroider a fox, you have to use fox fur to trim the edges."
"Yes, yes, my aunt is right!" Lin Wenxuan agreed, "Junior sister, why don't you take it to Yunxiu Tower tomorrow and ask the embroiderer to embroider one for you. My aunt is amazing at making patterns for clothes.
My sisters all like to ask my aunt about clothing patterns. With her guidance, the clothes become beautiful and interesting. "
Song Ying deeply agreed with this point. The last time her master gave her a skirt with a grasshopper embroidered on the end of the waistband, the girls in the mansion followed suit. It was said that even several young ladies specially made a few skirts like that.
"Okay, I'll take it to Yunxiu Tower tomorrow." Song Ying looked at Doctor Lin eagerly, "Master, can you draw a fox pattern? I'm afraid the patterns drawn by the embroiderers at Yunxiu Tower are not lively enough."
"I'll draw it for you in a moment." Doctor Lin agreed happily, but then he thought of how his apprentice, who was extremely frugal, could afford to buy such nice clothes, so he asked, "Why did you think of buying new clothes today?"
Song Ying said embarrassedly: "It's our birthday today, so we wanted to celebrate."
"Is it your birthday today?" Doctor Lin paused while picking up the food.
Lin Wenxuan was also surprised and said, "So today is your birthday, no wonder!"
After being surprised, he couldn't help but complain, "You are so stupid, why didn't you tell me? I didn't even prepare a gift."
"No need for gifts, no need for gifts. Brother, you have already helped me a lot, how can I accept your gift?" Song Ying said hurriedly.
"What kind of words are you talking about? We are brothers and sisters from the same sect. How can a brother not give a gift to his sister on her birthday?"
Doctor Lin also said: "You should have said it earlier. Let's ask your uncle to go out for dinner to celebrate."
"I'm a junior, there's no need to celebrate my birthday, right?" Song Ying said. In the past, she was asked to be grateful on her birthday and never celebrated it. Other people in the village also didn't celebrate children's birthdays.
"Birthdays are happy events and should be celebrated, but there is no need for a big banquet for children. You can just invite close people to a meal and accept blessings from elders and relatives." Doctor Lin said seriously.
Song Ying was silent. It turned out that children outside were so happy in celebrating their birthdays.
Doctor Lin looked at her and sighed softly: "These are also part of etiquette, and they need to be learned. Master will teach you slowly in the future."
As she said this, she stood up and went out. After a while, she came out with a butterfly hairpin and inserted it into her bun. "This was given to me by my mother when I was young. It is most suitable for you little girls to wear."
Having been in the Shen Mansion for so long, Song Ying is no longer a fool and knows that silver jewelry is not just about weight.
This butterfly hairpin is made of silver sheets and silver threads, with a butterfly wrapped around a branch. It is very light and doesn't look like it uses much silver, but the butterfly's wings tremble slightly when it moves, as if it were alive. Such delicate workmanship can only be made by a master craftsman with extremely skilled hands, and it must be worth a lot.
"Master, this is too valuable. I can't accept it." She declined hurriedly and reached out to take off the butterfly hairpin.
Doctor Lin held her hand and said, "This is a gift from our elders, and we cannot refuse it."
Song Ying opened her mouth, not knowing how to refuse, so she could only thank him with red eyes: "Thank you, Master!"
This was the first birthday gift she received. She didn't know that gifts were necessary for birthdays before. She only celebrated birthdays with Luo Yanxing and Xiaoxiang, and had never given any gifts.
Lin Wenxuan felt around his body and found nothing suitable as a gift, so he said, "Brother, I'll give you the gift later."
Song Ying was touching the butterfly hairpin on her head and was about to speak when she heard a maid's urgent call from outside.
"Doctor Lin! Doctor Lin! Hurry! The master is injured..."
The three were startled and hurried out, only to see a maid holding a lantern and looking anxious. When she saw them, she grabbed Doctor Lin's hand.
"Doctor Lin, come with me quickly, the master is injured!"
Doctor Lin turned sideways, avoiding her hand, and asked with a serious face, "What's going on?"
The maid was anxious. Since Doctor Lin had already refused, it was not easy to pull her back. She could only quickly say, "Mrs. Lian suddenly went to see the master. They quarreled over something and she even scratched the master with a knife!"
Doctor Lin frowned, turned around and went back to the house. Song Ying quickly realized that she was going to pick up the medicine box, so he said, "Master, I'll go get the medicine box."
As he spoke he ran into the house.
Lin Wenxuan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He was stunned for a long time and asked curiously: "Who is this Aunt Lian? How dare she scratch Minister Shen?"
Song Ying, who was running towards the house, paused. Is his master so tight-lipped that he wouldn't even tell his favorite nephew about the affairs of the Shen Mansion?
She suddenly felt a little uneasy, wondering if she shouldn't tell Luo Yanxing about the mess in the Shen Mansion today.
If rumors reach the ears of the Shen family and they investigate and find that the source is me, will they beat me to death?
She immediately decided that if anyone from the village came to the clinic in the next two days, she would ask them to take a letter back to Luo Yanxing, asking her not to tell anyone about what happened in the Shen Mansion.
As her thoughts raced, she had already entered the main room, picked up the medicine box on the high cabinet and was about to run out, but Doctor Lin followed her in and stopped her, "Wait a minute, there is no hemostatic medicine in the medicine box."
Song Ying then realized that his master was different from his uncle in that he was a full-time doctor supported by his family, and most of his time he treated Princess Shun'an.
The emergency medicines in her medicine box were almost all for Princess Shunan's illnesses, and it was obviously impossible for Princess Shunan to be scratched by anyone.
Generally speaking, the top scholar will not be scratched by others.
Doctor Lin quickly took the hemostatic drugs and put them into the medicine box, then walked out quickly with the medicine box, saying, "Song Ying, you stay..."
Halfway through her words, she thought of Lin Wenxuan at the door. Her apprentice was already grown up, and it was not right for her to be in the same room with a man in the middle of the night.
Even though she didn't want her apprentice to get involved in the mess of Shen Mansion, she had no choice but to say, "Come with me."
