Chapter 360

But the words have been said, now I can only pray that Gu Jinxiu's embroidery is really embroidered by someone else, so that she can get back to the game.

Gu Jinli smiled secretly, and compared embroidery with Gu Jinxiu, should she say that Zou Yuwan is courting death?

Mother Wen is a capable person. After hearing Mrs. Jiang say that the girls would have an embroidery competition on the spot, she immediately brought the maids to bring the embroidery shed, embroidery cloth, and embroidery thread.

"Girls, let's limit it to one stick of incense, and you can embroider whatever you want. After one stick of incense, you have to stop, regardless of whether you have finished embroidering." Mrs. Jiang said.

"Speaking of incense, my little benefactor, Yuanyuan, made a new kind of incense, called mosquito coils, which he said could kill mosquitoes and exterminate insects. Light one at night, and it would kill all the mosquitos in the house. It's not too big, so it won't smoke people." Jiang took out the mosquito coil made by Gu Jinli and told everyone, "This mosquito coil is made similar to the stick incense we use, but it's a bit bigger than the stick incense."

As Jiang said, she clicked and broke the mosquito coil in half: "Let's light half a stick of mosquito coil, and when the mosquito coil goes out, how about the girls stop embroidery?"

Mrs. Xu looked at the mosquito-repellent incense and said, "They are all incense. Naturally, you can choose whichever you choose, but this mosquito-repellent incense can really kill mosquitoes? My sister Shu is the most attractive to mosquitoes. Every summer, mosquitoes bite her. There are a few cells on my face when I wake up in the morning, if this mosquito-repellent incense can really kill the mosquitoes, and the smoke is not too big, then it would be great."

Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "That's not easy. Let's take a look at it now to see how this mosquito coil is. If it's good, Mrs. Xu will take a bundle back for Miss Shu to use."

"That's good." Mrs. Xu trusts the Jiang family. The Jiang family has helped her master a lot recently. Not to mention, the Jiang family is upright and the back house is clean, which makes people happy.

Lianhe took the mosquito coil from Jiang's hand, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The girls began to embroider by hand.

It's no wonder that some girls hate Zou Yuwan. There are quite a few young ladies who don't even know how to match colors or divide threads, let alone embroidery.

A thread is already small, but it has to be divided into several. Some girls were too impatient to divide, either their fingers were entangled in the thread, or the thread was broken directly. They were so anxious that their eye circles were red, and they were even more angry. Zou Yuwan raised her head and gave her a hard look.

Zou Yuwan was also doing embroidery by threading, and when she was stared at by those girls, she was so angry that she hated Mrs. Jiang for harming her.

Compared to those girls who were in such a hurry, Gu Jinxiu could be said to be in a hurry. She quickly picked out the embroidery shed, embroidery cloth, and embroidery thread, and then divided the embroidery thread into ten parts, and threaded the divided thread into the embroidery needles. Start to embroider.

Her hands are very soft, and the movements of tying and picking are very beautiful, and she looks good. Mrs. Jiang and the others sat aside and watched her embroider, and they really found it pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Xu asked Mrs. Jiang in a low voice: "Ms. Xiu should be as old as she can be, can I agree?"

Mrs. Jiang said: "It's too late, and I haven't allowed anyone yet."

He also talked about Gu Jinxiu's three-year filial piety for his family members who died on the way to flee the famine.

Mrs. Xu was surprised: "This girl is very righteous."

People in Dachu, even if they keep their filial piety for their parents, the fastidious ones only keep their filial piety for 27 months, like the people in the countryside, it's fine if they keep their filial piety too much, but Gu Jinxiu can actually keep a filial piety for his clansmen for three years.

Such an act of righteousness is rare.

Time passed quickly, and after an hour, half of the mosquito coils were burned out, Mother Wen stood up and smiled, "Ladies, it's time."

Many girls looked at their appalling embroidery and sighed one after another, but Gu Jinxiu had finished her embroidery half a quarter of an hour ago, and now she had put down her embroidery needles, got up and stood aside, waiting for Mrs. Jiang and the others to check.

Mrs. Jiang and the others looked all the way over, and when they saw the girls' embroidery, they couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing, the embroidery was really a mess.

But Miss Xu's embroidery is pretty good. What she embroiders is a half-bloomed lotus flower and carp playing around the lotus flower.

Ms. Yang's is also good, but instead of doing embroidery, she made a small cloth bag, which looks plain and clean, but has a lot of interlayers, which can hold a lot of books.

What amazed Mrs. Jiang and the others most was Gu Jinxiu's embroidery. She embroidered a small picture the size of a palm. In the picture, a person is holding a piece of pastry, gnawing on it while peeking around, for fear that someone would find out that she ate it secretly. The little fat girl is Shang Yuanyuan.

When Mrs. Jiang saw this embroidery picture, she liked it very much: "It's my Yuan Yuan, the embroidery is really smart." She looked at this embroidery picture, as if she was watching Yuan Yuan steal something.

Mrs. Xu, the shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Village, including Mrs. Zou, all felt that Gu Jinxiu's picture was embroidered well, especially the ingenuity of using Yuan Yuan to enter the picture was even more rare.

"Skillful in hand and clever in mind, this year's clever lady must be Miss Gu." Mrs. Xu made a final decision, and Gu Jinxiu became this year's clever lady begging for a clever banquet.

Miss Xu held Gu Jinxiu's hand and said, "Sister Xiu's embroidery skills are superb, I admire you."

Mrs. Xu and Ms. Xu have said so, and no one else will have any objections, but... everyone looked at Zou Yuwan with a bit of contempt and mockery.

In the past, they thought Zou Yuwan was a little bit smart, but now it seems that they are stupid, and today they really lifted a rock to shoot themselves in the foot.

What the ladies and ladies don't understand is, why did Zou Yuwan go against Gu Jinxiu?Didn't she know that Jiang Shang's family regarded Gu's family as their savior?She dared to make things difficult for the guests specially invited by the Jiang family.

Besides, no matter how much the Jiang family thinks highly of the Gu family, the Gu family are just a few countrymen who don't live in the county, so they don't have any conflicts of interest with them. What's wrong with selling face to Mrs. Jiang? Find fault with Miss Gu's family?

Because of Zou Yuwan's stupidity, several people fell in love with her and planned to go to Zou's family to propose marriage, and the wives who wanted to marry her as their daughter-in-law stopped thinking.

Seeing Zou Yuwan's embarrassment and rejection by all the wives, Mrs. Zou felt much relieved.

It's just that she hadn't had a good time before the maid of the Zou family came and said something to Hong Nanny who was beside her. Hong Nanny's expression changed, and she hurriedly whispered to Madam Zou, "Ma'am, something happened at home. It's urgent, the master tells you to go back quickly."

Mrs. Zou froze: "Master wants me to go back?"

Nanny Hong nodded, if the master could send someone to call back at this time, something must have happened at home.

Madam Zou didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly bid farewell to Madam Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang didn't stay any longer, and asked Mother Wen to send Mrs. Zou and her party out.

After Mrs. Zou left, within a few moments, the nurse next to Mrs. Xu came and whispered to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu received the order from the county magistrate Xu to make friends with the Jiang family, and because of the magistrate Xu's promotion and departure, she no longer needs to be afraid of Zou Xiancheng, a local snake, so she smiled at Mrs. Jiang: "It seems that We can't eat our red eggs."

red eggs...

Those who heard this knew in their hearts that the old man who had been treasured by Zou Xiancheng for several months was gone.
