Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 359 Defeat

The shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Village was very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't be madam, my husband's family name is Li. Let's talk about seniority. You three can call me Grandma Li."

Mrs. Jiang nodded in agreement: "The old sister is right, Xiaoyu, sister Xiu, Hui Niang, you can just call me Grandma Jiang from now on, it's too unreasonable to call my wife."

He looked at the shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Village and said, "However, if you want to see the embroidery pictures, you have to wait a while, Mrs. Xu is coming."

After hearing this, the wives and young ladies of several families present all showed joy and asked Mrs. Jiang: "Ma'am, Mrs. Xu is also here to beg for a clever banquet today?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "Well, Ms. Xu is a lover of embroidery. She came here last year. I heard that I will also hold a begging banquet this year. Two days ago, I sent word that I would come."

The shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Village didn't care about the county magistrate's wife, but since Mrs. Jiang said to wait, she didn't say anything else.

After a while, Mrs. Xu and her party arrived, along with Mrs. Zou, one of her granddaughters, and Zou Yuwan.

When Zou Yuwan saw Gu Jinli, she almost couldn't maintain the proper smile on her face... Mrs. Jiang was really crazy. She even invited these lowly girls to a begging banquet and sat with them. She felt disgusted.

Gu Jinli was also surprised to see Zou Yuwan, but what surprised her was that Mrs. Zou and Aunt Lu had such a fierce fight that she even brought Zou Yuwan here.

Mrs. Zou is a few years older than Mrs. Jiang, her face is slack, her forehead is a little heavy, and her eyes are sharp when she looks at people. Fortunately, she always has a smile on her face, and she also admires Gu Jinli and the others. add.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Zou brought Zou Yuwan here today because she knew that the Jiang family had invited the Gu family, and that the Lu family and the Gu family were at odds, so she brought Zou Yuwan here on purpose, in order to respond to Zou Yuwan.

Mrs. Xu looked like a bookish woman in her early thirties. The girl next to her looked very much like her. She looked very demure, but her big flickering eyes were full of wit.

"Madam Jiang, these are the girls from the Gu family? Who is that girl with excellent embroidery skills?" Miss Xu asked after returning the gift to Madam Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang took Gu Jinxiu's hand and said, "It's this one, called Miss Xiu."

Miss Xu took a look at Gu Jinxiu and praised, "Sister Xiu, you are really pretty."

Among the girls present, this girl from the Gu family is the most beautiful.

Gu Jinxiu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Miss Xu is absurdly praised, she can't compare to Miss Xu Lan Xinhui."

Miss Xu was a little surprised, she still thought that the Gu family would be vulgar because they were mud-legged, but she didn't expect this Gu Jinxiu to speak so politely, and she felt a little happier.

"I've seen the pictures you embroidered on dragon boats competing for crossing and boys playing water at noon. They are really well embroidered. Did you bring a new picture today?"

Gu Jinxiu nodded: "I brought a picture of busy farming."

Miss Xu was very happy: "I also brought one, let's compare and see who can embroider better."

The shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Village couldn't wait a long time ago. Hearing this, he said, "Stop talking, you two girls, hurry up and take out the picture. Let's compare. This begging festival is really about female red embroidery."

Mrs. Jiang was very proud of Mrs. Xu, so she asked her first when she heard the words: "What do you think, Madam?"

Mrs. Xu said: "Of course it's good. My sister Shu has been talking about it at home for a few days. If you don't hurry up and let her see Miss Gu's embroidery, she will have to worry about me."

After Madam Jiang heard this, she said to the young ladies present: "Girls, take out your embroidery. Whoever gets this year's Qiao Niang will be very lucky."

"Big lottery head? Then we must compete." It was the daughter of Bantou Yang who was speaking. Bantou Yang was the confidant of Captain Jiang, and she had been attending the begging banquet in Jiang's residence every year since she was seven years old.

Sister Wen has led the maids to put together several tables, forming a two-foot-long table.

More than 20 girls took out their embroidery products and put them on the table. There were a wide variety of embroidery products, including purses, handkerchiefs, small pictures, and large pictures. Clothes come.

Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zou, and the shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Village were the judges. The four inspected the embroidery from left to right.

When Mrs. Jiang and the others saw Gu Jinxiu's picture of busy farming, Qiqi exclaimed: "This embroidered picture is really lifelike, especially the characters on it are very vivid, not only those who are working in the fields and harvesting , even the old woman who brought her children to deliver food by the field ridge was embroidered extremely meticulously."

After seeing Gu Jinxiu's picture of busy farming, Miss Xu was convinced: "Needless to say, this year's Qiao Niangzi must be Miss Xiu, and none of us can embroider better than her."

Miss Xu is a girl from the county magistrate's family, she is the highest status among the girls present, and she was also last year's clever lady, and she is famous for her embroidery skills. When she said this, the other girls naturally said nothing.

It's just that there are always some people who like to die.

Zou Yuwan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, since Miss Gu's embroidery skills are so outstanding, why not let her embroider a small picture for us on the spot... After all, the embroidery picture brought by Miss Gu was embroidered at home, and we didn't see it either. Embroider a picture on the spot, so that we can open our eyes."

Mrs. Jiang's face sank when she heard Zou Yuwan's words. Zou Yuwan was questioning that the embroidery picture brought by sister Xiu was not embroidered by herself!

Hmph, a concubine is a concubine, not only petty, but also dark-minded, unable to afford to lose.

Zou Yuwan just felt that Gu Jinxiu's embroidery pictures were not embroidered by herself. How could a peasant girl who escaped from famine have such amazing embroidery skills?

The shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Village smiled and said: "Coincidentally, I also want to see the skills of Sister Xiu, old sister, why don't you ask Sister Xiu to embroider a small picture for us to see."

Real gold is not afraid of fire, and since Zou Yuwan questioned it, if Gu Jinxiu didn't embroider it for everyone to see on the spot, it would inevitably spread that she was lying.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Gu Jinxiu and asked, "What do you think, Miss Xiu?"

If the child doesn't want to embroider, she will block it for her.

Gu Jinxiu smiled easily: "Of course it's possible."

When Mrs. Jiang saw her, she liked Gu Jinxiu even more in her heart. This girl looked weak, but she was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she was not afraid of anything.

but……

"Since everyone is comparing together, why don't we all embroider one on the spot, and let us see, the girl in that family is good at embroidery."

As soon as Mrs. Jiang said this, many girls present hated Zou Yuwan.

They didn't know if Gu Jinxiu's embroidery pictures were embroidered by others, but their embroidery was for the begging banquet, and the maids with good craftsmanship embroidered it for them.

Now because of Zou Yuwan, they were about to lose face on the spot.

Zou Yuwan didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to come out like this, and she was very angry. This old godly woman offended most of the rich and powerful ladies in the county with just one word.
