Chapter 3
November of the fifth year of Yuanyou was the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager.
The state of Qi advocates embroidery, and the palace people of the state of Qi are looking for embroiderers with excellent embroidery skills, hoping to produce exquisite embroidery products to please the queen mother.
Qingzhou County is the birthplace of embroidery in the state of Qi, and there are many embroiderers. Among the embroiderers alone, there are eight or nine Fengniangs with outstanding skills.
Zhao Su, King of Qingzhou County, organized an embroidery competition and invited the famous embroiderers in Qingzhou City and family members who are good at embroidery to show their superb skills.
In the evening, outside the city of Qingzhou, a bullock cart rumbled towards the city.
In the car, a kind-hearted woman in her forties and two girls aged fourteen or fifteen were sitting opposite each other. Hearing the noise outside, the woman raised the curtain on the car and said with a smile, "We've arrived at the city gate. In [-], the people's livelihood was prosperous, the weather was favorable, and the city of Qingzhou became more and more prosperous."
The girl in green on the opposite side stretched her head and looked outside along the opened curtain, "No, girl, what Wu Ma said is right, Qingzhou is much more lively now than it was a few years ago."
The girl in white sat upright with a smile on her face.
"It's also a coincidence, today is the market day, and there are a lot of people." Wu Ma smiled gently.
"Wu Ma, is the white jade cake from the Yuan family in the east of the city still on sale?" the girl in green said, "I haven't eaten it for so many years, so I don't know if the taste has changed."
"If the girl wants to eat, I'll go buy it tomorrow." Wu Ma smiled and glanced at the girl in white. She hadn't seen her in a few years. Biyan was still as lively as before, but the fourth girl was quiet.
"Mother Wu, I probably won't be able to stay for a few days when I come back this time." Chang Luoyun smiled gently, "I'm going to go back to Zhuangzi once the embroidery competition is over."
"I'm very grateful that you came so far to pick me up from Zhuangzi this time." The girl took off a silver bracelet wrapped in silk from her hand, "This bracelet is worth nothing, just accept it."
"It can't be done." Wu Ma declined.
Bi Yan took the silver bracelet and stuffed it into Wu Ma's hand, "You can keep the one that the girl gave you."
"The person who used to be with A Niang is now the only one. When I come back this time, I might bother you. It's just a bracelet, just accept it."
The woman in white smiled warmly, and Mama Wu's heart warmed up, and she put the bracelet in her bosom, "Ms. Han's embroidery skills were also very famous in the capital. Miss, don't you want to fight for the embroidery competition and stay in Qingzhou?"
Just staying for a few days and then going back to Zhuangzi, the fourth girl never expected to win the embroidery competition!
Chang Luoyun smiled lightly and stretched out a pair of plain white hands, "I haven't held a needle or thread with these hands for several years, even if I wanted to give it a try, I still can't do it, it's good if I don't make a fool of myself."
The wheels were rolling, and the three people in the car had their own thoughts, and none of them spoke.
The bullock cart went on the official road more and more smoothly.Chang Luoyun folded his hands in front of him, the cuffs of his light blue clothes were washed white, and he didn't even have the simplest decorative pattern embroidered.
Wu Ma sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Passing through an alley, the ox cart stopped in front of a courtyard with a carved archway.
Chang Luoyun got off the car and stood in front of the courtyard gate, looking up at the tall carved cornices on the courtyard gate.I haven't seen it for a few years, but the Chang's yard is still the original Chang's yard, even the broken knocker on the door has not changed.
It's just that A Niang is gone, and A Niang is gone, so this place is no longer her home.
She took a deep breath, lifted her skirt and stepped up the steps.
There was only one gatekeeper in the huge courtyard, and Mama Wu led Chang Luoyun and Biyan through the hanging flower gate and Chaoshou veranda, all the way to the west wing.
Second Master Chang Pu's second wife, Mrs. Pei, is eating.
Not long after Han's death, Mrs. Chang also went.No one in the Chang family was in charge of the inner house, so the second master helped Aunt Pei to be upright and presided over Zhongfu.
Aunt Pei was wearing a beaded crown and a Qian-colored uniform, which made her fair skin look as icy as snow.Chang Luoyao was sitting next to her in pink, picking up a plate of ham.Seeing them, Chang Luoyao put down her chopsticks and looked at them provocatively with her almond eyes.
I haven't seen you for a few years. Chang Luoyao has grown taller and more outstanding, but her eyes have become presumptuous from the previous period.
Mrs. Pei looked Chang Luoyun up and down, and said with a faint smile, "The master said that the fourth girl might be late today, and I don't know when she will be late, so I didn't wait for you to have dinner together. After moving, leaving you here to eat will be considered negligent."
Chang Luoyun bowed his knees and saluted generously, smiled slightly, but did not speak.
"Mother Wu, you take Miss Four to wash up first, and then tell the kitchen to heat up two dishes." Mrs. Pei ordered.
Wu Ma replied, "Yes."
Pei turned her head and smiled and said to Chang Luoyun, "Today your father brought a message saying that you live in the Weaving Department. You must be tired after walking so far. Go back and rest early, and come back tomorrow to say hello to him." Bar!"
Chang Luoyun smiled, "Since Dad is not here, I'll come back tomorrow."
As soon as Chang Luoyun went out, Chang Luoyao picked up the chopsticks, slapped them on the table, and said angrily, "Mother, look at her attitude, why does she care about us? I really don't know why you call her back."
Mrs. Pei slowly picked up a bowl of vegetarian fried tofu in front of her, "You think I'm willing to call her back, isn't it because your father has already reported her name to the Weaving Department, can you not let her come back?"
Chang Luoyao pouted, holding Pei's arm with both hands and shaking it coquettishly, "Mother, you know, she embroidered better than me before, you asked her to come back, didn't you mean to embarrass me?"
Mrs. Pei held a shrimp in her left hand, and nodded her head with the index finger of her right hand, "Before? When was it before? That was when Mrs. Han was here. After all these years, how can she compare with you?"
"Mother—" Chang Luoyao is still worried, after all, Chang Luoyun cannot be underestimated.
"Don't worry," Mrs. Pei patted her daughter's shoulder lightly, and said in relief, "You have studied with Mrs. Qin for so many years, and your skills have improved a lot. Besides, Mrs. Qin is the master of the embroidery competition. One of the ladies, what are you afraid of?"
Lady Qin is the best phoenix lady in Qingzhou. Her embroidery is exquisite and gorgeous, especially the flowers and plants embroidered are lifelike. Chang Luoyao has studied with her for several years.
When the Han family was still there, she once wanted to invite Mrs. Qin to come to Chang's house as a teacher to teach the girls how to become female.Later, Mrs. Pei presided over the middle school to reduce unnecessary expenses, and said that the girls and children of the Chang family would only need a little at the Hong Kong Society, and they didn't need to be too refined, so they reduced the tuition fee.Later, Chang Luoyao learned embroidery from Mrs. Qin, but in private, the Pei family subsidized a large sum of money.
Having said that, Chang Luoyao still felt uneasy.
Pei's concern for her daughter was amused, she stuffed the peeled shrimp into Chang Luoyao's mouth, looked at her and said, "Yao'er, let me ask you, do you know why your father insisted on calling that bastard back? "
Chang Luoyao fiddled with the rice grains in the rice bowl with chopsticks, shaking her head, "I don't know, maybe it's because in Daddy's heart that I've always been inferior to her."
"Nonsense, in your father's heart, you are the best."
