Luo nine needles

Chapter 56

Baiquan City in winter was once again full of gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers. Along with the gongs and drums came servants carrying dustpans filled with big money.

The street was already crowded with people.

"Congratulations to Sangongzi High School."

"The third son has a bright future."

Adults and children all shouted.

Following their shouts, the steward of the Lu family in new clothes shouted "Same joy, same joy" and grabbed a handful of big money and threw it out, and the street was noisy.

"In less than a year, the Lu family had two great joys." The people watching the excitement in the restaurants on the street couldn't help sighing.

Another person said with a smile: "There will be a third time soon. After entering the Imperial Academy and being taught by doctors for a year, His Majesty will select officials."

"Yes, these are the first batch of scholars selected by His Majesty, and they must be entrusted with important tasks." Another person said, "Before, a scholar in the capital was killed. , take the initiative to invite the Imperial Academy to strictly check the morals of the students, and even have a discussion with Mr. Xiahou, Your Majesty will know him at that time."

That is really promising, everyone nodded.

In the Lu family's mansion, Mrs. Lu had read her son's letter over and over again, and then looked at the happy news from the capital.

"Did my son really see His Majesty?" She asked again.

Mr. Lu obviously answered this question many times, and he said impatiently, "See you, see you."

Mrs. Lu said angrily, "Why are you in a hurry? Are you upset by the many things and the many guests?"

Elder Lu laughed, "I wish my son would upset me more." But his brows furrowed, "It's all about that Seven Star."

Hearing this name, Mrs. Lu's face also sank: "What about that lowly maid?"

"I want money." Grandpa Lu said, "Heard that Yi'er is in high school, and even threatened to not give her any more money, so he came to make trouble."

Mrs. Lu patted the table: "Let her come, I won't let her get out of Baiquan City!"

That lowly maid is treacherous, maybe she won't come in and just make trouble outside Baiquan City, Mr. Lu waved his hand: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. Don't go as she wishes on the big day, just give her the money."

After all, let Mrs. Lu go out to meet the guests quickly.

"The second child's family can't come out, only the third child is outside, stupid, go out and watch."

The banquet of the Lu family who changed the mansion was bigger than last time, and there were more guests, but there was one less person to entertain the guests. Mrs. Lu also knew that Mrs. Lu was unreliable, so she could only stand up and hate while walking. Voice: "What does this lowly servant girl think of us? He comes here all day long to ask for money."

"It won't be long." Master Lu said, "I'll take care of her after a while."

Mrs. Lu went out, and Mrs. Lu was coming towards her.

"Sister-in-law, come quickly." She said hurriedly, "A lot of people have come here, and they are even inquiring about my other brother's marriage. I really don't know what to say."

It's really useless, Mrs. Lu snorted in her heart, and said: "Understood."

He took a few steps forward, stopped when he thought of something, and looked down at his dress first.

Mrs. Lu San hurriedly followed her and bent over to straighten the dress: "It's very good, there are no wrinkles."

She didn't care about this, Mrs. Lu frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Are there any visitors from outside wearing that lowly maid?"

The Third Madam Lu came back to her senses, suddenly, ever since Mrs. Li's dress got the limelight at the chrysanthemum feast of Madam Zhifu, everyone in Yucheng knew the name of Xucheng's Linglongfang Embroidery Village, and many people went to Xucheng to buy embroidery .

Fortunately, everyone only knows about Linglongfang, and they don't know that the embroidered lady is related to their Lu family.

Mrs. Lu doesn't want to see everyone wearing the dress made by that lowly maid, it's really dazzling and heartbreaking.

What if the lowly servant girl intentionally made the embroidery exactly the same as the embroidery on Mrs. Lu's dress, bumped into it and was asked, how would they answer!
In order to avoid this kind of thing, Mrs. Lu put away all the dresses embroidered with seven stars, and ordered the ladies not to wear them.

Third Madam Lu couldn't help but glanced at what Da Furen was wearing today. Although it was new and expensive, she always felt that something was missing.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, there is no one." She said, she had inquired about this matter in advance, and she was able to answer it fluently, "The Seven Stars are regarded as treasures by Linglongfang, and her embroidery must be specially packaged, each piece is unique, and the price is extremely high , only one piece comes out in two or three months, not everyone can buy it."

Mrs. Lu's brows were not flattened, but tightened even more. Why does this sound even more unpleasant?

Should she be happy or more angry?

In a daze, a group of women walked over talking and laughing, and saw Mrs. Lu rushing in one after another.

"Ma'am—why are you hiding here?"

"Come here and tell us, how did you raise your son so well?"

"You drank three glasses last time, but three glasses today are not enough."

Mrs. Lu also smiled, and walked over with a radiant face, overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the women, and the unhappiness caused by the little maid.

No matter how famous she is, she is just an embroiderer.

Her son is a disciple of the Son of Heaven, that's how famous he is.

The difference between cloud and mud in the sky and underground is not worth mentioning.

The night covered the land, the happy people fell asleep with drunkenness, and the hustle and bustle of the day was calmed down, but the work did not stop with the night.

Vendors selling night food lighted fires, inspectors inspected the corners of the bridge holes, women in the courtyard lit lamps to do needlework, and the workshop was buzzing and busy.

On one side, the green pheasant is flying needles and threads on the embroidery frame, embroidering the outline of the petals, and on the other side, Qixing is sitting in the wishful workshop and getting busy.

"Is there no demand recently?" She asked while sawing wood.

Shopkeeper Lu looked at the brochure in his hand: "It's not that there are no needs, but some needs have been resolved. Since we set an example, this place has become active. Some people send needs, and some people receive them, so they haven't been handed over to the hall. , has been resolved."

This is indeed a good thing, a smile appeared on Qixing's face.

The wheels were rumbling, and Wei Dong's family walked in from the outside: "Not only the news is flowing, but people are also flowing."

He didn't come in alone, followed by an old man, wearing homely clothes, with a smile on his face.

Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly introduced: "This is Cao Dianli, and he is also one of our own."

Cao Dianji laughed and said: "Miss Qixing, I have admired you for a long time."

Qixing smiled and said, "To each other."

Dianli Cao smiled even more intensely: "You are younger than I imagined, you are really a formidable young man."

Qixing smiled.

Wei Dong's family said angrily, "Stop your yamen style of coaxing officials, and get down to business."

Cao Dianji smiled and said: "That's right, there is a Mo Xia from another place who wants us to help with something."

The door curtain was lifted, and a thin man walked in, wearing straw sandals and wearing a worn winter robe. He looked like a beggar, but he raised his head and his eyes were sharp.

"I'm chasing and killing a bandit." He said briskly, "Everywhere this bandit goes, he not only steals, but also rapes and kills women. No matter, so, this bandit committed crimes all the way, all the way at ease, just yesterday, he entered Xucheng."

As he spoke, he swept across the people in the room and saw three old men, one of whom was still riding a wheelbarrow, and a girl.

The old, the disabled, the young, don't expect them to help kill the gangsters.

"I want to get rid of him before he commits the crime. The government cannot find out, otherwise it will scare the snake. After getting rid of him, I need to cover up my whereabouts, because I am also responsible for the case."

His eyes glanced and fell on Wei Dong's family - before he came, the pawn said that he would take him to see the person in charge here. Although this old man is disabled, he is treated equally in the door. As long as he has the ability, the disabled can also be in the court host.

He raised his hands and fists to the old man on the wheelbarrow: "Maybe you can help me?"

After he finished his appeal, he didn't get a response from the old man immediately, and the old man didn't look at him, but looked at the girl.

Not only the old man, but the other two also looked at the girl.

He couldn't help being slightly stunned, why?Do you want the girl to agree?Could it be that this girl is the hall master?

The girl's voice has already sounded.

"Okay." She said, her eyes were calm under the light, "We can help you achieve your wish."
