Koi descended from the sky: She became the treasure of the entire harem

Song Zhilin and Du Jia were relieved.

Du Jia was also a smart person, so she opened her mouth and said with a smile:
"My wife dare not deceive the emperor at will. I told the emperor that my ancestors once made a living as embroidery workers. Later, when their lives became stable and they saved enough money, they stopped being a tailor and switched to other trades. But I The embroidery skills in my wife's family are still passed down from generation to generation, and now, it has been passed down to my wife's generation."

Emperor Shunhe nodded with satisfaction after hearing Du Jia's words:
"Very good, with you here, we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will definitely be able to crush the shameless Ancient Tang Kingdom this time!"

Mingyan tugged on Shun Hedi's sleeve and reminded:
"Father, we cannot let Mrs. Song compete alone. Other countries must have brought out their strongest embroiderers and are fully prepared."

Emperor Shunhe was reminded by Mingyan and began to think about this issue.

But Du Jia spoke at this moment--
"Your Highness, my little princess, your Majesty, you don't have to worry, my mother is also good at this ancestral embroidery craft."

Emperor Shunhe also suddenly remembered: Yes!Just now, the wife of Song Zhilin said that this is an ancestral embroidery skill, and every heir in the family should know this embroidery skill!
Emperor Shunhe asked again with an eager look: "Besides you and your mother, are there any other heirs?"

Du Jia also shook his head with regret: "I'm afraid I will disappoint the emperor when I return. There are rules in the minister's family. The embroidery skills of this family are passed down from female to male, and the only female in the minister's family is left. My wife and my mother."

Emperor Shunhe obviously looked regretful, but he still cleared his throat, coughed and said——
"It's okay, but for the sake of the overall situation, I will still order that all the embroiderers from all over the country will rush to the palace to compete within three days. Don't worry, this is just a formality. I believe that it is impossible for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty to do this. There are no more outstanding embroiderers than you and your mother."

"Yes!!!"

Du Jia's voice was loud enough to see her excitement.

She couldn't wait to tell her mother about it.

After leaving the palace, she returned to the Song Mansion and told her mother everything.

When Du Li heard that her family's embroidery workers could occupy a place in the capital, she was so happy that she took Du Jia to the small yard in the backyard to study embroidery skills in preparation for this competition.

Emperor Shunhe also issued an imperial edict to recruit embroiderers as agreed.

But to Emperor Shunhe's expectation, perhaps because the rewards he gave were too generous, many embroiderers came to sign up.

He temporarily selected a few people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to set up a clothing supervisor, and ordered Li Dezhong to tell the embroiderers who wanted to participate to embroider their works at home, and then submit them to the government officials on duty every day.

Three days later.

The female officer in charge of the temporarily established Clothes Supervisor submitted the works of all the participating embroiderers, more than 90 of them.

Emperor Shunhe was dazzled by what he saw, so he called Mingyan to watch it together.

Du Jia and Du Li were the last to meet each other and were placed at the bottom. The father and daughter looked at the embroidery on it with some lack of interest.

"This embroidery is too monotonous, no! It will definitely be looked down upon by the people of the ancient Tang Dynasty!"

"Father, there are threads on it! It's not okay!"

"What colors are these? It looks like a colorful ball of yarn!"

"Father, look, this embroidered thing is really weird. Yan'er doesn't think many people will like it!"

"Well, if my Yan'er doesn't like it, just put it among the eliminated embroideries. I believe in Yan'er's vision!"

The father and daughter picked for a long time, but they couldn't pick out a pair of embroidery that was amazing enough.

"My great Zhou Dynasty is full of talents, why is there no one who is good at embroidery?"

Emperor Shunhe sighed, unable to figure out the reason.Mingyan raised her hand to relax Emperor Shunhe's frown, then smiled sweetly and said:

"Father, don't worry about it! Isn't there Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song's mother?!"

Emperor Shunhe thought so and quickly continued reading.

Coincidentally, the next piece is an embroidery jointly created by Du Jia and Du Li.

Seeing this embroidery, Emperor Shunhe immediately felt that his eyes were cleansed, his eyes lit up, and he started to look at it carefully.

This painting is still like the embroidery work on Mingyan's rag dolls, using double embroidery. From the front, it looks like a delicate white magnolia, but from the side, it turns into a sunflower with bright golden light growing towards the sun. .

Emperor Shunhe slapped the table and said: "Very good! You are indeed the person I am optimistic about! This competition! We, Dazhou, will definitely win! I will take a good look at the fools these guys make when the time comes!"

After Emperor Shunhe asked Li Dezhong to post the results of the Xiu Niang election in the city, everyone in the capital also knew that the beloved wife and mother-in-law of the number one scholar were now highly valued by the emperor, and they all came to flatter Song Zhilin.

Song Zhilin also looked proud.

His wife and mother-in-law are amazing! ! !

Du Jia was also very happy. He had always thought that he had little knowledge and was still far away from Song Zhilin. Now he heard that Song Zhilin said that because the emperor appreciated him and his mother, Song Zhilin was like a fish in water in the nearest court, and he felt honored.

That's great.

Half a month later, Emperor Shunhe took Mingyan and two embroiderers, Du Jia and Du Li, to the island mentioned in the ancient Tang Dynasty.

It was a long journey, but luckily Mingyan didn't have any discomfort, and Du Li and Du Jia, who grew up in the countryside, didn't have any discomfort at all.

It was already the penultimate day before the game when we arrived at the island. On the boat leading to the island, Mingyan always liked to walk around with her short legs. When she saw the scenery she had never seen before, her eyes instantly changed. It is filled with stars, and there is never too much.

Emperor Shunhe was happy to see his precious daughter happy.

After arriving on the island, she was even more dazzled.

Vendors all over the continent had heard that the ancient Tang Dynasty was coming to this uninhabited island to compete in the half-embroidery competition. Naturally, they sensed strong business opportunities - this was no small competition. I heard that this competition was even like this The leader of the empire on the continent, the Great Zhou Kingdom, will also participate.

This shows the scale of this competition.

There will definitely be a lot of spectators coming to watch and join in the fun.

And those nobles and nobles who came to watch the game must have food, clothing, housing and fun!And those gentlemen and ladies spend money lavishly. When they are in a good mood, they want to buy all the beautiful things they see.

Isn't this a business opportunity? !

As soon as they got the news, traders flocked here, and in just over a month, they turned this originally deserted island into a luxurious version of the island that never sleeps.

The ancient Tang Dynasty was also happy to see its success.

They don't have the heart to do this, and they don't have the money to do these bells and whistles.

It would be better if it were more prosperous, which would better reflect the generosity of the organizer.
