Chapter 54
"Go find your aunt." Su Wanru smiled and said, "Just say that your mother is not in good health, and I want you to go home and take care of her. You can't do anything about Jinxiufang anymore."
Que'er burst into tears immediately, and looked at Su Wanru pleadingly, "Sister Su...I, I don't really want to harm you, I really can't do anything." Money, they gave me money, and I..."
"Conscience is probably worthless." Su Wanru didn't care, she had seen such people a lot, "Since you are so guilty, then I will allow you to make amends."
Que'er's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Wanru expectantly.
"Follow me." Su Wanru turned and entered the door, Que'er followed her in, she was standing and Su Wanru was sitting, still looking at her with a slight smile.
Su Wanru said: "Tell me, who gave you the money."
"Ah?" Que'er's expression changed drastically, and then she replied, "Yes... it's Sister Lin Lu Xiuchang."
Su Wanru looked at her motionlessly, Que'er was hairy all over, feeling fear in her heart, it took a while for Su Wanru to speak, and said: "People talk according to their ability, and I don't have any status or ability that you can trust right now. I don't blame you if you don't tell the truth."
She was a little self-indulgent, Su Wanru smiled self-deprecatingly, "Let's go. I won't implicate you this time, not because I feel sorry for you. It's because the situation is different. I don't want to make a mess of you, but if you're okay, you can stay with me." My eyes are dangling, I can't bear it if I can't keep it straight."
It wasn't Lu Siqiu who ordered Que'er, she would know the person behind it.
She lost her words and left the door slowly without looking back.
Que'er stood at the door and murmured, "Sister Su..." She chased after a few words and asked, "How did you know that I took the medicine? I clearly saw you fell asleep."
"Because you are too guilty." Su Wanru glanced at her. At first she said that her mother's illness was hopeless and she needed to prepare for the funeral. She cried and tried to do things every day, but within a few days, her attitude changed. Changed, the whole person is full of vigor...
After seeing so many diseases that doctors said were incurable, why did I suddenly have hope again?
Either she got a lot of money to afford medical treatment, or she met a miracle doctor who could treat patients... She thought it was the former.
How the money came from, she didn't care at first, it was Que'er's private matter after all... But yesterday she delivered the food, her demeanor was too guilty, so she had to be suspicious, so she let Que'er go Fetched water, then poured out the meal, lay on the bed and pretended to sleep.
Que'er's reaction when she came in proved that her suspicions were not groundless, so when Liu Da came in, she was prepared to open his head with the door latch.
Liu Da, who only wanted to marry a wife but was timid, became very obedient after being beaten into a daze.
Su Wanru didn't speak any more, turned around and went out the door.
Que'er stood at the door, drooping her eyebrows and eyes for a long time before going out, but she went straight to Lu Siqiu, standing in the narrow alley, she whispered: "I'll go find Mama Cai to resign later, this time I'm here to talk to the embroidery chief. Farewell."
"Yeah." Lu Siqiu had nothing to say. If Gao Chun hadn't told her that Que'er was available, she wouldn't have known, "If you want to leave, it's the same if I transfer you to another yard."
Que'er shook her head, "No. I'll leave early and come late, others can't stand me like this." Only Su Wanru never spoke.
"Go." Lu Siqiu knelt in the middle of the night, she was not energetic, and with Lin Qiuyue gone, she was devastated, "If you need help, come to me."
Que'er glanced at her, turned and left.
Before Su Wanru entered the Shanshui Museum, she heard a buzzing sound of discussion inside. As soon as she entered the door, it became quiet inside, and then she saw Qiaohong stand up abruptly. When she realized that she had lost her composure, she was embarrassed. Said: "I... I'm going to clean the room."
As he spoke, he was in a hurry and left as if fleeing.
The others flinched as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, and sat in front of the embroidery frame to do things in a well-mannered manner. Su Wanru twitched her lips and went upstairs as if nothing had happened.
Jiao Zhenying and Liu Sanniang were not there, so she greeted everyone and began to draw a map for the Mid-Autumn Festival competition. Zhou Huaijuan and Cai Xuan were muttering, guessing what happened last night, "I heard that the man She's ugly, and Lin Qiuyue has really bad eyesight."
Cai Xuan was perfunctory and didn't speak.
On the one hand, Dou Rao raised her head to look at Su Wanru, and said with a smile, "A Jin, didn't you stay in the hospital after last night?"
"No." Su Wanru replied.
Dou Rao nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "No wonder I didn't see you when I got up in the morning, and I thought I left early in the morning."
Su Wanru smiled at her, but said nothing.
The matter of Lin Qiuyue seems to be suppressed, but in private, everyone can't help but guess wildly. In addition, Mr. Duan and Aunt Qiu have severely rectified, changed people and things, and even increased the time of night patrol three times. It was certain that something terrible must have happened that night.
Su Wanru didn't listen to the affairs of the world, and quietly prepared her embroidery. The strange thing was that Lu Siqiu also calmed down, doing things and drawing pictures every day, and serving Aunt Qiu when she was free. Cai Xuan said contemptuously, "She just wants to flatter you." , to regain Aunt Qiu's trust."
"This is her skill." Su Wanru raised her head and rubbed her neck, "If it can be done, we should admire it."
Cai Xuan snorted, resentful, and suppressed her voice: "It would be great if she went to the woods that night!"
That's right, Su Wanru also felt it was a pity... Lin Qiuyue became a scapegoat.
Que'er left, and she couldn't find anyone to take care of her in the yard for a while, so Mama Cai sent a rough envoy to come sooner or later, she didn't care, so she agreed to the matter.
Ten days later, the news of Wu Ping's marriage came, and they all took their own money to add boxes. Wu Ping came to send wedding candies to his sisters shyly. I'm free, I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Su Wanru injected the needle and went downstairs with Wu Ping. The two of them were walking in the backyard. Wu Ping lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I met him two days ago. At first I didn’t want this marriage, but since I agreed, I will definitely treat me well in the future.” She paused as she spoke, stroking Shang Ping’s lower abdomen: “Thank you, Ajin, otherwise, our mother and son might have died at this moment. One dead body and two dead."
"You really don't need to thank me." Su Wanru smiled, and said: "Ming people don't say dark words, and I have selfish intentions to help you. Now I have also got a quota, and we are both clear."
Wu Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "So I would like to thank you even more, you have made me ashamed of being a frank man." After a pause, he continued: "If you need me in the future, feel free to ask someone to come to me. "
She gave her address.
Su Wanru's impression of Wu Ping was actually not good at first. A woman who didn't know how to respect and love herself, she despised her when she was deceived and even deceived herself to help a man... But looking at it now, it's not that Wu Ping is ignorant of his situation and Yang Changgong's personality .
She doesn't hate or complain because she is willing.
Therefore, she no longer has to worry about what kind of person Yang Changgong is.
Everyone chooses and walks their own way.
"Okay." Su Wanru memorized Wu Ping's address, and the two chatted for a while before Wu Ping left.
In the blink of an eye, July came to an end, Su Wanru's embroidery was mostly done, and she found it strange that Shen Zhan didn't show up even once, but just delivered medicine every day, and snacks every three days, all kinds of things, I bought her almost all the snacks that should be eaten in the sky.
Two days before August [-]th, she framed the embroidery and handed it over to Jiao Zhenying for safekeeping. In the future, Si Sanbao and people from Zhizaofu will come to participate in the selection. She can rest assured that their embroiderers don't need to participate Take a day off.
She was sitting at the table eating snacks, and suddenly remembered that she had finished cutting the clothes that she hadn't had time to make... She got up and found them out of the box, and couldn't help laughing, "It's almost August, and I can wear them after making them." No."
If Shen Zhan doesn't show up, she will completely forget about this matter and his people.
"The layer of cotton is ready." She gestured and decided to buy cotton so that she could wear it even in cold weather.
After receiving the fabric, she will dig out the small amount of silver. There are less than three taels left from the ten taels from last time, and there is Shen Zhan's 1 taels of silver note. "I have to find a chance to return it to him."
As soon as she packed up and opened the door, she saw Lu Cheng pacing back and forth in her yard. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and said, "Are you grinding?"
"Miss." Lu Cheng blushed, "Miss is free now, come with me."
Su Wanru stood at the door with her arms folded and looked at him.
For more than a month, Shen Zhan didn't show up. Is it because she knew that she was really busy and didn't have any free time?
But today, when she learned that her matter had come to an end, she came to the door.
"Being polite today." Su Wanru said, "You don't need to take people into captivity, but invite them."
Lu Cheng scratched his head, lowered his eyes, "No...it's not like that." He stammered and looked at Su Wanru, "Miss, follow me to the mansion first, Grandpa... Grandpa has something to ask for you."
Anyway, if she didn't go, Shen Zhan would come too, she nodded, "Go back first, I'll be there in half an hour."
Unexpectedly, Su Wanru was so straightforward, Lu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and had no objection at all, "The villain is waiting for the girl at the door."
"Yeah." Su Wanru nodded, seeing Lu Cheng disappear into the yard by flying over the eaves and walls, her eyes lit up, if she also had this ability, would she be able to fly into the Moon Tower directly like a bird?
She sighed and smiled, went to the restaurant to find Jiao Zhenying, told her she was on leave, and went directly to the street through the corner gate.
As soon as she went out, there were two women following her not far away. After walking two streets, Su Wanru found these two women. She went into a fabric shop and took advantage of the opportunity to pick cotton to look at them. Looking at the two women.
She stopped, and the two women squatted down opposite, pretending to look at things.
"Why would someone follow me?" Su Wanru took the cotton and paid the money, then said to the shopkeeper, "Let me go through your back door."
They went out through the back door, and the two women saw that they were ashamed, and their expressions changed drastically. They went around and went to the back door of the shop, but there was no sign of Su Wanru.
"I'm looking around, you go back to the master." The two wives were discussing, one of them must have turned a corner, she walked back and forth in the small and narrow alley, and entered a house after a while , Waiting for someone to knock on the door and go in, Su Wanru poked her head out from the small alley opposite.
She looked up at the front of the door, and walked around to the main courtyard as if to confirm, looked at the plaque on the door, and gave a cold snort.
"I want to follow other people with this ability." She snorted, and returned to the alley with cotton in her arms, and found Shen Zhan's mansion with twists and turns. From afar, she saw Lu Cheng holding a sword guarding the door, It seems to be standing still with downcast eyes, but the ears are listening to the movement in all directions.
"Miss." Hearing the footsteps, Lu Cheng immediately looked towards the opposite side, and saw Su Wanru carrying a bundle and wearing a veil, approaching cautiously. He greeted her and shouted: "Miss, don't worry, no one is following."
Su Wanru nodded, followed Lu Cheng into the courtyard, and when the door was closed, she frowned and said, "Did you see someone following me?"
"Yes!" Lu Cheng nodded and made a gesture of invitation, "Since the girl went to the company's banquet last time, women often came and watched outside Jinxiufang. When you went to the street last time, those women Also follow along."
Su Wanru stopped walking and looked at Lu Cheng, "So, Master Hou also sent someone over there?"
Lu Cheng coughed and did not deny it.
"I see." The first two times she went out with Cai Xuan, guessing that Shen Zhan's people followed quietly and didn't do much... This time she found out by herself, and Shen Zhan's people didn't show up .
The two of them entered the inner courtyard, and Qingliu came towards them with hurried steps. Seeing Su Wanru, she was taken aback, and then bowed to bless her, "I've seen the girl."
Su Wanru nodded.
"Master just left the house." Qingliu whispered, "Don't you know?"
"My lord is going out?" Lu Cheng looked dazed, "No...didn't tell me."
Su Wanru was also very surprised, she was not here when she was invited over?It's better not here, she looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Since he's not here, I'll go back."
"Girl...Girl wait a moment." Lu Cheng put his fist on his lips and coughed, "I'll go in and see if I have any other explanations." There's no reason, Shen Zhan is injured, and he also ordered He invited Su Wanru over today.
How could he go out?
Su Wanru nodded, and sat down at the stone table outside the Ruyi Gate, with Qingliu standing beside her, "Miss, I want to drink tea, and this servant will pour tea for you."
"No need." She shook her head, pulled out a piece of cotton subconsciously, and fiddled with it. When she remembered something, she asked, "Who lives in the outer courtyard?"
Qingliu's heart skipped a beat, is the girl planning to test the three women raised in Lord Hou's side yard?No, someone sent four more this month, and now there are seven women living in the side yard.
As soon as it got dark recently, the mansion became extremely lively, with the sound of the piano and the flute for a while, they couldn't help but want to clean up the people.
"The outer courtyard is where Mr. Zhou and Lu Cheng and Min Wang live." Qingliu said, wondering if it's time to ask the inner courtyard.
Su Wanru nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Where are the other subordinates of Lord Hou living?"
Qingliu was stunned, she didn't expect Su Wanru to ask this question, "There is a yard across the alley, Master Hou specially told me to do it when he bought it."
So that's the case, no wonder the last time Shen Zhan took her to Yanziji, so many people were recruited in a blink of an eye.
"What else does the girl want to know?" Qingliu asked.
She didn't want to know anything, she was just curious, "No."
Qingliu nodded yes, and stood aside waiting. Ever since Shen Zhan got angry last time, she never dared to underestimate Su Wanru after she saw Su Wanru... In Master Hou's heart, Miss Su is far more important than they guessed. To be heavy.
"Girl." Lu Cheng came out of the inner courtyard, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, "Yes... I'm sorry. I'll come to you if I have any orders when Master Hou comes back."
It was the first time that Shen Zhan missed an appointment, Su Wanru waved her hand and said, "No need!" She couldn't wish more, nodded with Lu Cheng, and walked out the door quickly.
After walking a few steps, when she heard that Lu Cheng was coming, she went out through the corner gate without stopping her. After walking a few steps, she stopped and said, "Aren't you Marquis going back to the capital?"
"Go back next year." Lu Cheng nodded and said, "I still have something to do here, and I will go back to Yanjing when the work is done."
Su Wanru rolled her eyes and asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"Master went to Fengyang in the past half month. Girl, do you know that the Holy Majesty has designated Fengyang as the central capital?" Lu Chengzhi said everything, "The ancestral mausoleum will be built in the middle, and the prince recommended the emperor's grandson to supervise the construction."
Su Wanru never thought that Lu Cheng would say these words to her, and a look of shock appeared on her face wearing a veiled hat, "So, the crown prince is worried that the little emperor and grandson will stay alone in Zhongdu, so please ask the Marquis to take care of him in secret." take care of?"
"Yes." Lu Cheng smiled and said, "What the girl said is not wrong at all."
Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and said: "Isn't King Ning also coming, why don't you ask King Ning."
Lu Cheng snorted, shook his head and said, "I don't know, either." After a pause, he said, "No...the prince and our Lord Hou are close friends, he must be at ease to hand over the emperor's grandson to you. Lord, and dare not hand it over to King Ning."
Su Wanru was thoughtful, seeing Lu Cheng's attitude, she simply asked, "Then... what about Lord Hou and King Ning, and what is their attitude?"
"I don't know." Lu Cheng shook his head, "I haven't seen anything."
So Shen Zhan and King Ning are not familiar... She walked slowly with the burden in her hands, but there was no one in the narrow alley, and she stopped suddenly after walking for a while, and Lu Cheng hurriedly stopped, "Gu... What's wrong with the girl."
"Is King Ning coming soon?" Su Wanru asked?
Lu Cheng nodded, and counted with his fingers, "According to the schedule, it will take three to five days."
King Ning came to Yingtian on purpose, and he definitely didn't come here for nothing. What if... what if King Ning and Shen Zhan had a falling out?Or, King Ning and the little Huangsun fell out.
It would be great if she had someone to use it, and it would be more convenient to do things.
Turning her mind around, she turned her head and waved to Lu Cheng, "Go back, I'll just go by myself." Saying that, she walked away briskly.
Lu Cheng murmured, "Girl..." But Su Wanru had already walked away.
After returning to Jinxiufang, she sent the cotton back and went directly to Jiao Zhenying, "Jiao Xiuchang, will the company come tomorrow?"
"He said he was coming." Jiao Zhenying was packing her things when she heard the sound and gave her a strange look, "What's the matter, do you want to see the company?"
Su Wanru waved her hands and sat down on the table. Lu Cheng said that King Ning was coming, so why didn't Si Sanbao go to pick him up?
"What are you thinking?" Jiao Zhenying took a break and sat opposite her, "His eyes are rolling around, and he seems to be thinking of some bad idea."
Su Wanru chuckled, and said, "I was just thinking, shouldn't the company go to the pier to meet Prince Ning?"
"Should go." Jiao Zhenying thought for a while, "Didn't the manager say that the Jinxiufang in the capital came to visit last time? I guess the manager will go to the pier to pick him up. However, I guess it will have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival."
King Ning, Yingtian will be uneasy again when he comes.
"Understood." Su Wanru put down the teacup, stood up and said, "Go ahead, I'm going back."
Jiao Zhenying nodded and watched Su Wanru leave. After a while, she went upstairs. Liu Sanniang was making clothes in the room. Seeing her come in, she asked, "Have you handed in all the embroidery in your group?"
"En." She sat down on the chair, "Su Jin came to see me just now." She repeated what Su Wanru said, "...this little girl, I always feel that her purpose in Jinxiufang is not pure. "
"Does she want to pick up King Ning?" Liu Sanniang stopped sewing, and said thoughtfully, "What does she want to do?"
Su Jin doesn't look like a person who climbs high branches, otherwise, when Shen Zhan came, her reaction would not be so resistant.
"Is there a way for you to go with the head?" Jiao Zhenying frowned and said: "If you can go, take Su Jin with you. When the time comes, it will be clear what she wants to do."
Liu Sanniang got up and stomped around twice before stopping, "I can't talk about this, but there is one person who can."
"You mean Qinghong?" After Jiao Zhenying finished speaking, Liu Sanniang nodded, "People from Jinxiufang in Beijing are here for the matter of the dragon robe. If Qinghong raises the question, the manager will definitely agree."
Jiao Zhenying nodded, "But it's not easy for Qinghong to speak up."
"Let's go through tomorrow's evaluation first." Liu Sanniang said: "The key is being able to go to the capital."
Jiao Zhenying didn't speak.
On the second day, Si Sanbao, Eunuch Zhu and the top and bottom stewards of Zhizao Mansion all came.
"Sanniang's embroidery skills are more outstanding." Si Sanbao thinks highly of Liu Sanniang, after all, only Liu Sanniang has truly been rewarded by the palace among the embroiderers in Jinxiufang. Sanniang still won."
Duan Zhangshi nodded and said: "Elder-in-law said it is true." Looking at Aunt Qiu again, "Zhenying's group is still a little bit worse."
Naturally, Aunt Qiu had nothing to say, and asked Mother Cai to pack up the embroidery, "Send them all back, and tell Sanniang to make the people in her group get ready."
Mama Cai should have wrapped up the embroidery one by one and asked them to carry them out.
When Su Wanru got the news, she was talking to Cai Xuan. Mother Cai came up with the embroidery, and congratulated Liu Sanniang when she saw the news.
"Did the upstairs win?" Zhou Huaijuan's loud voice could be heard upstairs and downstairs. Mother Cai nodded, "The company decided it himself."
Zhou Huaijuan's face was broken, and she sat in front of the embroidery frame full of anger. For a while, the inside and outside of the second floor became quiet, but the third floor was boiling.
"There is still a chance." Cai Xuan comforted Su Wanru, "Don't be sad."
Su Wanru and her nodded with a smile, got up to greet Mama Cai, and said with a smile, "Mom, please give me our embroidery. I'll send it to my sisters."
Mother Cai nodded, and asked the woman behind her to hand over the embroidery. Su Wan counted them all, and raised her eyebrows, "Why is there a pair missing?"
"No." Mama Cai was taken aback for a moment, then stopped and counted carefully, and her face became more solemn, "It seems that there is something missing."
The mother-in-law who carried the things immediately explained, "No, they will never be lost on the road. When we pack them up, there are four sets."
That is to say, one pair was missing when entering the competition?Cai's mother took a look at Su Wanru, and took apart the embroidery, "Sister Su, come and see, who is missing."
In fact, there is no need to look carefully, the size of individual embroidery is different, even though they are all wrapped, Su Wanru confirmed at a glance: "My strip screen is not inside."
"I'll go and look for it." The nature of the matter was different. Mama Cai left the door after putting her things away. Su Wanru followed behind her, "I'll go with you."
Jiao Zhenying was coming up from downstairs, seeing this, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"My embroidery is missing." Su Wanru explained: "Mother Cai said she didn't see me during the competition."
Jiao Zhenying was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, "I'll look for it with you." After saying that, the three of them went to Duan's study. Si Sanbao was leading someone to leave, so they greeted him and saluted. The aunt thought that Jiao Zhenying came because of losing the competition, so she said, "I'll talk about other things later, I didn't see the company here."
"Ajin's embroidery has not been delivered." Jiao Zhenying explained in a low voice in Aunt Qiu's ear, "Only four pairs were sent from our group."
Aunt Qiu was taken aback when she heard it, and she thought about it vaguely. At that time, she felt that something was wrong. Now that she thinks about it, Jiao Zhenying really lacked a pair of embroidery, "Why is it missing? Are you sure you sent it?"
Jiao Zhenying nodded.
"Then let someone find it."
Director Duan accompanied Si Sanbao out, Su Wanru took a few steps back, and suddenly someone smiled and said, "Ms. Su Xiu is here too."
"Eunuch Zhu." Su Wanru stepped forward to salute, Eunuch Zhu covered his face with a smile and said: "Today's competition, your embroidery is also participating, which one is yours."
"This..." Aunt Qiu didn't want to say that her embroidery was lost, and it seemed that the people in the Shanshui Museum were unreliable. When Si Sanbao heard what Eunuch Zhu said, he turned his head and looked at Su Wanru, and his eyebrows frowned. Yang smiled and said: "This little embroiderer is not bad, new here?"
Director Duan introduced it in a low voice, and Si Sanbao's eyes lit up, remembering that it was the little embroiderer he planned to give Shen Zhan to be his concubine, and she was indeed born very well.
"Do you need your aunt?" Si Sanbao asked.
This time, Su Wanru didn't evade, and replied: "My embroidery was not sent for the appraisal, my embroidery master and I came over to look for it."
"It's lost?" Si Sanbao raised his eyebrows, and looked at Aunt Qiu, "The competition is a big deal, how could it be lost." After finishing the sentence, he pointed to the person he had brought, "Help Su Xiuniang find it. "
A group of hula-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-a group of people searched everywhere in the yard one after another.
Su Wanru retreated beside Aunt Qiu, showing that she had done something wrong, "Aunt... did I say something wrong?"
"Forget it. You can't hide it." Aunt Qiu sighed, and sent someone to look for it. After a while, Mama Cai found the embroidery in the side room and came out holding it in her hand. "It's strange, I'll pick it up in the morning." When I was doing embroidery, I didn't see that there was a..."
"I guess it's messed up." Aunt Qiu took it over, and Eunuch Zhu said, "Mother Su embroidered it, let me have a look at it."
Aunt Qiu handed over the embroidery, and Eunuch Zhu took a look, he was surprised, stared at it for a long time, and murmured: "...Godfather, come and see."
"How?" Si Sanbao glanced at the words, and then heyed, "This...is a small statue?"
It is a small portrait of Si Sanbao, wearing the brocade robe of the chief executive, and the official hat with a round top, with slightly raised sword eyebrows and deep eyes, revealing a righteous masculinity.
"It's the first time I've seen Zajia." Si Sanbao hid his face and smiled, holding it in his hand and looking at it lovingly, "This little girl is really dexterous. Come and see, isn't she similar to Zajia?"
Su Wanru blushed in due course.
"It's not just a resemblance, it's exactly the same." Eunuch Zhu flattered and gave Su Wanru a thumbs up, "Wonderful!"
Director Duan and Aunt Qiu didn't go to the museum to check it out during this time, and seeing this little portrait now, they couldn't help showing a strange expression.
"Is this the embroidery you participated in?" Si Sanbao was very happy, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Su Wan was so blessed, she said yes, "...a girl who embroiders without permission, please don't blame me, father-in-law."
"No, no." Si Sanbao laughed, with a satisfied expression on his face, he turned to look at Mr. Duan, "This little girl is clever, I'll see, she won. Let her follow along." San Niang, experience and experience will be of great use in the future."
When Si Sanbao opened his mouth, how could Director Duan refuse? Moreover, Si Sanbao was coaxed to be happy, which is a great thing for Jinxiufang, "Yes, I will listen to your father-in-law's arrangement."
"Okay, I'll take this embroiderer back home." After Si Sanbao finished speaking, he looked at Su Wanru again, "Come here, give this girl 50 taels of silver."
It's better to hang it on the wall and put it in the study so that everyone knows it. When my identity is revealed to the world, I will look back and see how Zhao Zhiang treats you.
Su Wanru smiled and thanked her for accepting the silver ticket, "Thank you, Eunuch, for the reward!"
"Not only is the workmanship good, but the corners of the mouth are also sharp." Si Sanbao chuckled, admiring Su Wanru's way of meeting her expectations.
The atmosphere was excellent, and Si Sanbao's attitude was unprecedentedly good.
Si "You don't have to be afraid of people coming from the capital this time. There are miscellaneous people here. If they make trouble, they will call back one by one." Si Sanbao said.
Director Duan suddenly felt relieved, what she was waiting for was this sentence, "I'm afraid they will do something..." If the people from the capital are determined to harm them, there are plenty of opportunities, as long as they do something on the dragon robe , when the time comes, the entire Jinxiu Workshop will be lost.
"I don't even have the guts to let them go." Si Sanbao snorted coldly, "Don't worry, the miscellaneous family knows it well."
Director Duan heaved a sigh of relief, and respectfully sent Si Sanbao away.
The father and son got into the sedan chair and returned to the mansion. The servant brought the statue in. Si Sanbao stroked it, nodded and said, "You have a good eye. It will definitely come in handy."
"My son thinks so too." Eunuch Zhu said with a smile: "She was not surprised or afraid when she faced Master Hou. At that time, she felt that she was different from the embroidered lady next to her."
Si Sanbao nodded.
In Jinxiufang, Duan Zhang looked at Su Wanru with complicated eyes. She was really happy that Si Sanbao could show his attitude before the people from the capital arrived, and would definitely protect them in the future. The stone that had been pressing was loosened.But this was done by a little embroiderer, she couldn't help feeling that she was old and couldn't think of such a thing, so she smiled and said: "You are smart, let's embroider with Sanniang for a while and learn hard." Jiao Zhenying said: "Don't assign her anything else."
Jiao Zhenying lowered his head and said yes.
"Come with me." Aunt Qiu grimaced, turned and walked in front, Su Wanru and Jiao Zhenying looked at each other, Jiao Zhenying winked at her, and said in a low voice: "Be nice, you'll be fine."
Su Wanru nodded and followed Aunt Qiu.
"You knew about this from the beginning?" Director Duan looked at Jiao Zhenying.
Jiao Zhenying smiled shyly, Su Jin is such a shrewd person, she would definitely pull her brother along for this kind of sycophantic behavior that would be scolded and despised, so she told her early in the morning, and it was called a consultation , In fact, she was dragging her to take the blame.
This blame was blamed, and she still had no way to refute, so she could only say: "Yes, she discussed this matter with me."
"You young people." Duan Zhangshi shook his head without breaking a smile, with complicated emotions, "Okay, okay. Let you make trouble."
Jiao Zhenying smiled and said yes.
It was really guessed by Su Jin, this little girl has a heart all over her body.
"What did you think?" Aunt Qiu closed the door, turned around and stared at Su Wanru, and asked, Su Wanru lowered her head and said, "Yes, when I won Sister Wu's selection, I was just thinking about it." What am I going to embroider?"
"The area of the strip screen is small, so I plan to embroider it." Su Wanru is three points true and seven points false, "I'm a newcomer, and my skills are no better than the other sisters in the museum... If I want to win, I just have to make people refreshed, so, I I am going to embroider a small portrait. I originally wanted to embroider you, Auntie, but I was afraid that the manager would see it, so I couldn't justify it... Finally, after much deliberation, I decided on the company."
If you want to embroider, of course embroider Si Sanbao, Duan in charge doesn't dare to refute him on important matters in Jinxiu Workshop.
"You really don't hide it." Aunt Qiu pointed at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You didn't learn well at such a young age, so you are so focused on getting ahead."
Su Wanru raised her head and smiled at Aunt Qiu. She was pretty, and her smile was very sweet, "Auntie, I know I was wrong. You are young and energetic and want to stand out. I will never dare again."
Aunt Qiu suddenly lost her temper, so she poked Su Wanru on the forehead, "Go back and think about it, what is wrong with you."
She doesn't like people being so eager for quick success, but she has to admit that at this juncture, Su Wanru's flattery is just right.
No matter if it was a mistake or she did it sincerely, at least, this girl's heart is in Jinxiufang.
"Yes!" Su Wanru smiled, took Aunt Qiu's arm while the iron was hot, helped her to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I did not flatter the company just for myself. I'm afraid that Mr. Si won't help us. I'll take this opportunity to flatter you, and Mr. Si may express his opinion as soon as he's happy."
In fact, Si Sanbao did express his opinion.
"What's the use of coaxing me." Aunt Qiu took the tea that Su Wanru made, "Forget it. From now on, you have to learn from Sanniang, even if you can't go to the capital in the end, but with such a rare opportunity to experience, what a treat for you It is also a great thing.”
Su Wanru nodded immediately.
"Go, go." Aunt Qiu looked helpless. There are no stupid people in this world, but some people are so smart that people hate them, and even if some people suffer at her hands, she can still let you Feel comfortable, Su Wanru is this kind of person, you are obviously annoyed, but you can't say anything serious.
"Then I'll take my leave." Su Wanru backed out with a smile, and closed the door intimately. Mother Cai stood in the yard, and seeing her, she said, "Sister Su, I really missed that screen for some reason. I am sorry for you, and I apologize to you."
Saying that, she bowed to Su Wanru.
"No, no need." Su Wanru hurriedly helped Cai's mother to stand up, "I also got a blessing in disguise, there is nothing wrong with my mother."
What a talker, Cai's mother said happily: "In the future, if you have anything to do, come and talk to mom, and mom will definitely help you."
Su Wanru hurriedly saluted Mama Cai and thanked her with a smile.
After leaving the courtyard, Su Wanru scorned herself severely. This kind of duplicity, once done once, will be repeated a second time, and the more she does it, the smoother it is...
She shook her head thinking about it, and saw Jiao Zhenying waiting for her with folded arms on the path with displeasure on her face.
"Here comes another teacher to ask the crime." Su Wanru sighed, stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Master Xiu."
Jiao Zhenying put on a serious face, and said, "Don't call me Mr. Xiu. I don't have a friend like you who is full of holes."
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Su Wanru bowed, "At least I won, and we are not ashamed, right?"
Jiao Zhenying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pinched Su Wanru's face, "I think you are the most embarrassing." He said again: "Tell me, when did you hide your embroidery?"
"No." Su Wanru showed a look of ignorance, "How could I hide my own embroidery?"
Jiao Zhenying rolled her eyes, pointed at her and said, "You still say you don't know. How can you be the only one missing when the good embroidery is delivered."
Su Wanru smiled dryly.
If she didn't do this, Si Sanbao's flattery would not have such a good effect.
"Shame. Are you so unconfident in yourself?" Jiao Zhenying tapped Su Wanru's head, "Go back and rest, Sanniang will finalize the draft tomorrow and start embroidering, I see what new patterns you can come up with this time. "
I want to embroider a twelve-sided screen, each one is eight feet high and two feet wide.
Time is still tight.
"I got a reward of 50 taels." Su Wanru said with a smile: "A few sisters lost the election, and I will call a banquet tonight. It's in my yard. It's good for everyone to make a fuss."
Jiao Zhenying smiled and nodded, "When it comes to being a human being, no one can catch up with you."
In the evening, they called Ximian, invited everyone on the second floor to the yard, and sent someone to invite Director Duan and the three aunts. When they learned that it was a gathering of little girls, the managers said they had something to do and didn't come.
Twenty or so girls quarreled in Su Wanru's yard until midnight. They all got a little drunk and sang songs in the middle of the night. The crazy Aunt Qiu frowned.
Su Wanru was also a little dizzy from drinking, she was sitting on a chair holding the teacup and giggling, Cai Xuan was held up by Zhou Huaijuan, she turned her head to support her and waved her hand, "You should go to bed early too, the mother-in-law will come tomorrow morning tidy."
"Let's go, let's go." Su Wanru stood at the door, waving her hands, and said with a smile, "I still have some silver, let's continue drinking tomorrow night."
Zhou Huaijuan rubbed her round belly and spat, "You want to make me fat, so I won't come to eat." Saying this, she helped Cai Xuan, who was stumbling around, and left.
Su Wanru stood at the door watching, and it took a long time before she closed the door and went in. She held the door unsteadily, and felt sick again. She threw herself on the base of the wall and vomited for a while, before she felt a little better, "This wine is not good... It hurts my heart." .”
She was lying on the table with her hands on her heart, the candlelight was swaying, and her little red face was dazzled. After a while, there seemed to be a figure in front of her eyes. Huaijuan? Why don't you leave, have you lost something?"
"You can't drink but you can still be brave." The man snorted in her ear, hugged her up and put her on the bed, and said disgustedly: "You reek of alcohol!"
Su Wanru tilted her head, sat up propped up and stared at the man's blurred face, "Who... are you?"
The man snorted coldly, pushed her to lie down, and wrapped her tightly with a quilt, "Go back and make hangover soup."
Someone outside the door answered.
Su Wanru was confused, she grabbed the man's hand and raised it to have a look, touched it back and forth, and muttered: "It's so big, so rough...Like, whose hand does it look like." After she finished speaking, she threw away her hand, Suddenly, as if his spiritual wisdom had opened up, he pointed at the man's nose with wide eyes, "Shen... Shen... what is it?"
"Bastard!" The man was furious, biting her finger.
Su Wanru cried out in pain, her eyes turned red immediately, and she whimpered, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!"
Her voice was delicate and soft, and she frowned delicately. No matter how she looked at her, she looked good. The man's bite was a little lighter, but his fingers were reluctant to let go.
Have a great weekend.
(End of this chapter)
"Go find your aunt." Su Wanru smiled and said, "Just say that your mother is not in good health, and I want you to go home and take care of her. You can't do anything about Jinxiufang anymore."
Que'er burst into tears immediately, and looked at Su Wanru pleadingly, "Sister Su...I, I don't really want to harm you, I really can't do anything." Money, they gave me money, and I..."
"Conscience is probably worthless." Su Wanru didn't care, she had seen such people a lot, "Since you are so guilty, then I will allow you to make amends."
Que'er's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Wanru expectantly.
"Follow me." Su Wanru turned and entered the door, Que'er followed her in, she was standing and Su Wanru was sitting, still looking at her with a slight smile.
Su Wanru said: "Tell me, who gave you the money."
"Ah?" Que'er's expression changed drastically, and then she replied, "Yes... it's Sister Lin Lu Xiuchang."
Su Wanru looked at her motionlessly, Que'er was hairy all over, feeling fear in her heart, it took a while for Su Wanru to speak, and said: "People talk according to their ability, and I don't have any status or ability that you can trust right now. I don't blame you if you don't tell the truth."
She was a little self-indulgent, Su Wanru smiled self-deprecatingly, "Let's go. I won't implicate you this time, not because I feel sorry for you. It's because the situation is different. I don't want to make a mess of you, but if you're okay, you can stay with me." My eyes are dangling, I can't bear it if I can't keep it straight."
It wasn't Lu Siqiu who ordered Que'er, she would know the person behind it.
She lost her words and left the door slowly without looking back.
Que'er stood at the door and murmured, "Sister Su..." She chased after a few words and asked, "How did you know that I took the medicine? I clearly saw you fell asleep."
"Because you are too guilty." Su Wanru glanced at her. At first she said that her mother's illness was hopeless and she needed to prepare for the funeral. She cried and tried to do things every day, but within a few days, her attitude changed. Changed, the whole person is full of vigor...
After seeing so many diseases that doctors said were incurable, why did I suddenly have hope again?
Either she got a lot of money to afford medical treatment, or she met a miracle doctor who could treat patients... She thought it was the former.
How the money came from, she didn't care at first, it was Que'er's private matter after all... But yesterday she delivered the food, her demeanor was too guilty, so she had to be suspicious, so she let Que'er go Fetched water, then poured out the meal, lay on the bed and pretended to sleep.
Que'er's reaction when she came in proved that her suspicions were not groundless, so when Liu Da came in, she was prepared to open his head with the door latch.
Liu Da, who only wanted to marry a wife but was timid, became very obedient after being beaten into a daze.
Su Wanru didn't speak any more, turned around and went out the door.
Que'er stood at the door, drooping her eyebrows and eyes for a long time before going out, but she went straight to Lu Siqiu, standing in the narrow alley, she whispered: "I'll go find Mama Cai to resign later, this time I'm here to talk to the embroidery chief. Farewell."
"Yeah." Lu Siqiu had nothing to say. If Gao Chun hadn't told her that Que'er was available, she wouldn't have known, "If you want to leave, it's the same if I transfer you to another yard."
Que'er shook her head, "No. I'll leave early and come late, others can't stand me like this." Only Su Wanru never spoke.
"Go." Lu Siqiu knelt in the middle of the night, she was not energetic, and with Lin Qiuyue gone, she was devastated, "If you need help, come to me."
Que'er glanced at her, turned and left.
Before Su Wanru entered the Shanshui Museum, she heard a buzzing sound of discussion inside. As soon as she entered the door, it became quiet inside, and then she saw Qiaohong stand up abruptly. When she realized that she had lost her composure, she was embarrassed. Said: "I... I'm going to clean the room."
As he spoke, he was in a hurry and left as if fleeing.
The others flinched as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, and sat in front of the embroidery frame to do things in a well-mannered manner. Su Wanru twitched her lips and went upstairs as if nothing had happened.
Jiao Zhenying and Liu Sanniang were not there, so she greeted everyone and began to draw a map for the Mid-Autumn Festival competition. Zhou Huaijuan and Cai Xuan were muttering, guessing what happened last night, "I heard that the man She's ugly, and Lin Qiuyue has really bad eyesight."
Cai Xuan was perfunctory and didn't speak.
On the one hand, Dou Rao raised her head to look at Su Wanru, and said with a smile, "A Jin, didn't you stay in the hospital after last night?"
"No." Su Wanru replied.
Dou Rao nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "No wonder I didn't see you when I got up in the morning, and I thought I left early in the morning."
Su Wanru smiled at her, but said nothing.
The matter of Lin Qiuyue seems to be suppressed, but in private, everyone can't help but guess wildly. In addition, Mr. Duan and Aunt Qiu have severely rectified, changed people and things, and even increased the time of night patrol three times. It was certain that something terrible must have happened that night.
Su Wanru didn't listen to the affairs of the world, and quietly prepared her embroidery. The strange thing was that Lu Siqiu also calmed down, doing things and drawing pictures every day, and serving Aunt Qiu when she was free. Cai Xuan said contemptuously, "She just wants to flatter you." , to regain Aunt Qiu's trust."
"This is her skill." Su Wanru raised her head and rubbed her neck, "If it can be done, we should admire it."
Cai Xuan snorted, resentful, and suppressed her voice: "It would be great if she went to the woods that night!"
That's right, Su Wanru also felt it was a pity... Lin Qiuyue became a scapegoat.
Que'er left, and she couldn't find anyone to take care of her in the yard for a while, so Mama Cai sent a rough envoy to come sooner or later, she didn't care, so she agreed to the matter.
Ten days later, the news of Wu Ping's marriage came, and they all took their own money to add boxes. Wu Ping came to send wedding candies to his sisters shyly. I'm free, I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Su Wanru injected the needle and went downstairs with Wu Ping. The two of them were walking in the backyard. Wu Ping lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I met him two days ago. At first I didn’t want this marriage, but since I agreed, I will definitely treat me well in the future.” She paused as she spoke, stroking Shang Ping’s lower abdomen: “Thank you, Ajin, otherwise, our mother and son might have died at this moment. One dead body and two dead."
"You really don't need to thank me." Su Wanru smiled, and said: "Ming people don't say dark words, and I have selfish intentions to help you. Now I have also got a quota, and we are both clear."
Wu Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "So I would like to thank you even more, you have made me ashamed of being a frank man." After a pause, he continued: "If you need me in the future, feel free to ask someone to come to me. "
She gave her address.
Su Wanru's impression of Wu Ping was actually not good at first. A woman who didn't know how to respect and love herself, she despised her when she was deceived and even deceived herself to help a man... But looking at it now, it's not that Wu Ping is ignorant of his situation and Yang Changgong's personality .
She doesn't hate or complain because she is willing.
Therefore, she no longer has to worry about what kind of person Yang Changgong is.
Everyone chooses and walks their own way.
"Okay." Su Wanru memorized Wu Ping's address, and the two chatted for a while before Wu Ping left.
In the blink of an eye, July came to an end, Su Wanru's embroidery was mostly done, and she found it strange that Shen Zhan didn't show up even once, but just delivered medicine every day, and snacks every three days, all kinds of things, I bought her almost all the snacks that should be eaten in the sky.
Two days before August [-]th, she framed the embroidery and handed it over to Jiao Zhenying for safekeeping. In the future, Si Sanbao and people from Zhizaofu will come to participate in the selection. She can rest assured that their embroiderers don't need to participate Take a day off.
She was sitting at the table eating snacks, and suddenly remembered that she had finished cutting the clothes that she hadn't had time to make... She got up and found them out of the box, and couldn't help laughing, "It's almost August, and I can wear them after making them." No."
If Shen Zhan doesn't show up, she will completely forget about this matter and his people.
"The layer of cotton is ready." She gestured and decided to buy cotton so that she could wear it even in cold weather.
After receiving the fabric, she will dig out the small amount of silver. There are less than three taels left from the ten taels from last time, and there is Shen Zhan's 1 taels of silver note. "I have to find a chance to return it to him."
As soon as she packed up and opened the door, she saw Lu Cheng pacing back and forth in her yard. She raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and said, "Are you grinding?"
"Miss." Lu Cheng blushed, "Miss is free now, come with me."
Su Wanru stood at the door with her arms folded and looked at him.
For more than a month, Shen Zhan didn't show up. Is it because she knew that she was really busy and didn't have any free time?
But today, when she learned that her matter had come to an end, she came to the door.
"Being polite today." Su Wanru said, "You don't need to take people into captivity, but invite them."
Lu Cheng scratched his head, lowered his eyes, "No...it's not like that." He stammered and looked at Su Wanru, "Miss, follow me to the mansion first, Grandpa... Grandpa has something to ask for you."
Anyway, if she didn't go, Shen Zhan would come too, she nodded, "Go back first, I'll be there in half an hour."
Unexpectedly, Su Wanru was so straightforward, Lu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and had no objection at all, "The villain is waiting for the girl at the door."
"Yeah." Su Wanru nodded, seeing Lu Cheng disappear into the yard by flying over the eaves and walls, her eyes lit up, if she also had this ability, would she be able to fly into the Moon Tower directly like a bird?
She sighed and smiled, went to the restaurant to find Jiao Zhenying, told her she was on leave, and went directly to the street through the corner gate.
As soon as she went out, there were two women following her not far away. After walking two streets, Su Wanru found these two women. She went into a fabric shop and took advantage of the opportunity to pick cotton to look at them. Looking at the two women.
She stopped, and the two women squatted down opposite, pretending to look at things.
"Why would someone follow me?" Su Wanru took the cotton and paid the money, then said to the shopkeeper, "Let me go through your back door."
They went out through the back door, and the two women saw that they were ashamed, and their expressions changed drastically. They went around and went to the back door of the shop, but there was no sign of Su Wanru.
"I'm looking around, you go back to the master." The two wives were discussing, one of them must have turned a corner, she walked back and forth in the small and narrow alley, and entered a house after a while , Waiting for someone to knock on the door and go in, Su Wanru poked her head out from the small alley opposite.
She looked up at the front of the door, and walked around to the main courtyard as if to confirm, looked at the plaque on the door, and gave a cold snort.
"I want to follow other people with this ability." She snorted, and returned to the alley with cotton in her arms, and found Shen Zhan's mansion with twists and turns. From afar, she saw Lu Cheng holding a sword guarding the door, It seems to be standing still with downcast eyes, but the ears are listening to the movement in all directions.
"Miss." Hearing the footsteps, Lu Cheng immediately looked towards the opposite side, and saw Su Wanru carrying a bundle and wearing a veil, approaching cautiously. He greeted her and shouted: "Miss, don't worry, no one is following."
Su Wanru nodded, followed Lu Cheng into the courtyard, and when the door was closed, she frowned and said, "Did you see someone following me?"
"Yes!" Lu Cheng nodded and made a gesture of invitation, "Since the girl went to the company's banquet last time, women often came and watched outside Jinxiufang. When you went to the street last time, those women Also follow along."
Su Wanru stopped walking and looked at Lu Cheng, "So, Master Hou also sent someone over there?"
Lu Cheng coughed and did not deny it.
"I see." The first two times she went out with Cai Xuan, guessing that Shen Zhan's people followed quietly and didn't do much... This time she found out by herself, and Shen Zhan's people didn't show up .
The two of them entered the inner courtyard, and Qingliu came towards them with hurried steps. Seeing Su Wanru, she was taken aback, and then bowed to bless her, "I've seen the girl."
Su Wanru nodded.
"Master just left the house." Qingliu whispered, "Don't you know?"
"My lord is going out?" Lu Cheng looked dazed, "No...didn't tell me."
Su Wanru was also very surprised, she was not here when she was invited over?It's better not here, she looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Since he's not here, I'll go back."
"Girl...Girl wait a moment." Lu Cheng put his fist on his lips and coughed, "I'll go in and see if I have any other explanations." There's no reason, Shen Zhan is injured, and he also ordered He invited Su Wanru over today.
How could he go out?
Su Wanru nodded, and sat down at the stone table outside the Ruyi Gate, with Qingliu standing beside her, "Miss, I want to drink tea, and this servant will pour tea for you."
"No need." She shook her head, pulled out a piece of cotton subconsciously, and fiddled with it. When she remembered something, she asked, "Who lives in the outer courtyard?"
Qingliu's heart skipped a beat, is the girl planning to test the three women raised in Lord Hou's side yard?No, someone sent four more this month, and now there are seven women living in the side yard.
As soon as it got dark recently, the mansion became extremely lively, with the sound of the piano and the flute for a while, they couldn't help but want to clean up the people.
"The outer courtyard is where Mr. Zhou and Lu Cheng and Min Wang live." Qingliu said, wondering if it's time to ask the inner courtyard.
Su Wanru nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Where are the other subordinates of Lord Hou living?"
Qingliu was stunned, she didn't expect Su Wanru to ask this question, "There is a yard across the alley, Master Hou specially told me to do it when he bought it."
So that's the case, no wonder the last time Shen Zhan took her to Yanziji, so many people were recruited in a blink of an eye.
"What else does the girl want to know?" Qingliu asked.
She didn't want to know anything, she was just curious, "No."
Qingliu nodded yes, and stood aside waiting. Ever since Shen Zhan got angry last time, she never dared to underestimate Su Wanru after she saw Su Wanru... In Master Hou's heart, Miss Su is far more important than they guessed. To be heavy.
"Girl." Lu Cheng came out of the inner courtyard, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, "Yes... I'm sorry. I'll come to you if I have any orders when Master Hou comes back."
It was the first time that Shen Zhan missed an appointment, Su Wanru waved her hand and said, "No need!" She couldn't wish more, nodded with Lu Cheng, and walked out the door quickly.
After walking a few steps, when she heard that Lu Cheng was coming, she went out through the corner gate without stopping her. After walking a few steps, she stopped and said, "Aren't you Marquis going back to the capital?"
"Go back next year." Lu Cheng nodded and said, "I still have something to do here, and I will go back to Yanjing when the work is done."
Su Wanru rolled her eyes and asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"Master went to Fengyang in the past half month. Girl, do you know that the Holy Majesty has designated Fengyang as the central capital?" Lu Chengzhi said everything, "The ancestral mausoleum will be built in the middle, and the prince recommended the emperor's grandson to supervise the construction."
Su Wanru never thought that Lu Cheng would say these words to her, and a look of shock appeared on her face wearing a veiled hat, "So, the crown prince is worried that the little emperor and grandson will stay alone in Zhongdu, so please ask the Marquis to take care of him in secret." take care of?"
"Yes." Lu Cheng smiled and said, "What the girl said is not wrong at all."
Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and said: "Isn't King Ning also coming, why don't you ask King Ning."
Lu Cheng snorted, shook his head and said, "I don't know, either." After a pause, he said, "No...the prince and our Lord Hou are close friends, he must be at ease to hand over the emperor's grandson to you. Lord, and dare not hand it over to King Ning."
Su Wanru was thoughtful, seeing Lu Cheng's attitude, she simply asked, "Then... what about Lord Hou and King Ning, and what is their attitude?"
"I don't know." Lu Cheng shook his head, "I haven't seen anything."
So Shen Zhan and King Ning are not familiar... She walked slowly with the burden in her hands, but there was no one in the narrow alley, and she stopped suddenly after walking for a while, and Lu Cheng hurriedly stopped, "Gu... What's wrong with the girl."
"Is King Ning coming soon?" Su Wanru asked?
Lu Cheng nodded, and counted with his fingers, "According to the schedule, it will take three to five days."
King Ning came to Yingtian on purpose, and he definitely didn't come here for nothing. What if... what if King Ning and Shen Zhan had a falling out?Or, King Ning and the little Huangsun fell out.
It would be great if she had someone to use it, and it would be more convenient to do things.
Turning her mind around, she turned her head and waved to Lu Cheng, "Go back, I'll just go by myself." Saying that, she walked away briskly.
Lu Cheng murmured, "Girl..." But Su Wanru had already walked away.
After returning to Jinxiufang, she sent the cotton back and went directly to Jiao Zhenying, "Jiao Xiuchang, will the company come tomorrow?"
"He said he was coming." Jiao Zhenying was packing her things when she heard the sound and gave her a strange look, "What's the matter, do you want to see the company?"
Su Wanru waved her hands and sat down on the table. Lu Cheng said that King Ning was coming, so why didn't Si Sanbao go to pick him up?
"What are you thinking?" Jiao Zhenying took a break and sat opposite her, "His eyes are rolling around, and he seems to be thinking of some bad idea."
Su Wanru chuckled, and said, "I was just thinking, shouldn't the company go to the pier to meet Prince Ning?"
"Should go." Jiao Zhenying thought for a while, "Didn't the manager say that the Jinxiufang in the capital came to visit last time? I guess the manager will go to the pier to pick him up. However, I guess it will have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival."
King Ning, Yingtian will be uneasy again when he comes.
"Understood." Su Wanru put down the teacup, stood up and said, "Go ahead, I'm going back."
Jiao Zhenying nodded and watched Su Wanru leave. After a while, she went upstairs. Liu Sanniang was making clothes in the room. Seeing her come in, she asked, "Have you handed in all the embroidery in your group?"
"En." She sat down on the chair, "Su Jin came to see me just now." She repeated what Su Wanru said, "...this little girl, I always feel that her purpose in Jinxiufang is not pure. "
"Does she want to pick up King Ning?" Liu Sanniang stopped sewing, and said thoughtfully, "What does she want to do?"
Su Jin doesn't look like a person who climbs high branches, otherwise, when Shen Zhan came, her reaction would not be so resistant.
"Is there a way for you to go with the head?" Jiao Zhenying frowned and said: "If you can go, take Su Jin with you. When the time comes, it will be clear what she wants to do."
Liu Sanniang got up and stomped around twice before stopping, "I can't talk about this, but there is one person who can."
"You mean Qinghong?" After Jiao Zhenying finished speaking, Liu Sanniang nodded, "People from Jinxiufang in Beijing are here for the matter of the dragon robe. If Qinghong raises the question, the manager will definitely agree."
Jiao Zhenying nodded, "But it's not easy for Qinghong to speak up."
"Let's go through tomorrow's evaluation first." Liu Sanniang said: "The key is being able to go to the capital."
Jiao Zhenying didn't speak.
On the second day, Si Sanbao, Eunuch Zhu and the top and bottom stewards of Zhizao Mansion all came.
"Sanniang's embroidery skills are more outstanding." Si Sanbao thinks highly of Liu Sanniang, after all, only Liu Sanniang has truly been rewarded by the palace among the embroiderers in Jinxiufang. Sanniang still won."
Duan Zhangshi nodded and said: "Elder-in-law said it is true." Looking at Aunt Qiu again, "Zhenying's group is still a little bit worse."
Naturally, Aunt Qiu had nothing to say, and asked Mother Cai to pack up the embroidery, "Send them all back, and tell Sanniang to make the people in her group get ready."
Mama Cai should have wrapped up the embroidery one by one and asked them to carry them out.
When Su Wanru got the news, she was talking to Cai Xuan. Mother Cai came up with the embroidery, and congratulated Liu Sanniang when she saw the news.
"Did the upstairs win?" Zhou Huaijuan's loud voice could be heard upstairs and downstairs. Mother Cai nodded, "The company decided it himself."
Zhou Huaijuan's face was broken, and she sat in front of the embroidery frame full of anger. For a while, the inside and outside of the second floor became quiet, but the third floor was boiling.
"There is still a chance." Cai Xuan comforted Su Wanru, "Don't be sad."
Su Wanru and her nodded with a smile, got up to greet Mama Cai, and said with a smile, "Mom, please give me our embroidery. I'll send it to my sisters."
Mother Cai nodded, and asked the woman behind her to hand over the embroidery. Su Wan counted them all, and raised her eyebrows, "Why is there a pair missing?"
"No." Mama Cai was taken aback for a moment, then stopped and counted carefully, and her face became more solemn, "It seems that there is something missing."
The mother-in-law who carried the things immediately explained, "No, they will never be lost on the road. When we pack them up, there are four sets."
That is to say, one pair was missing when entering the competition?Cai's mother took a look at Su Wanru, and took apart the embroidery, "Sister Su, come and see, who is missing."
In fact, there is no need to look carefully, the size of individual embroidery is different, even though they are all wrapped, Su Wanru confirmed at a glance: "My strip screen is not inside."
"I'll go and look for it." The nature of the matter was different. Mama Cai left the door after putting her things away. Su Wanru followed behind her, "I'll go with you."
Jiao Zhenying was coming up from downstairs, seeing this, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"My embroidery is missing." Su Wanru explained: "Mother Cai said she didn't see me during the competition."
Jiao Zhenying was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, "I'll look for it with you." After saying that, the three of them went to Duan's study. Si Sanbao was leading someone to leave, so they greeted him and saluted. The aunt thought that Jiao Zhenying came because of losing the competition, so she said, "I'll talk about other things later, I didn't see the company here."
"Ajin's embroidery has not been delivered." Jiao Zhenying explained in a low voice in Aunt Qiu's ear, "Only four pairs were sent from our group."
Aunt Qiu was taken aback when she heard it, and she thought about it vaguely. At that time, she felt that something was wrong. Now that she thinks about it, Jiao Zhenying really lacked a pair of embroidery, "Why is it missing? Are you sure you sent it?"
Jiao Zhenying nodded.
"Then let someone find it."
Director Duan accompanied Si Sanbao out, Su Wanru took a few steps back, and suddenly someone smiled and said, "Ms. Su Xiu is here too."
"Eunuch Zhu." Su Wanru stepped forward to salute, Eunuch Zhu covered his face with a smile and said: "Today's competition, your embroidery is also participating, which one is yours."
"This..." Aunt Qiu didn't want to say that her embroidery was lost, and it seemed that the people in the Shanshui Museum were unreliable. When Si Sanbao heard what Eunuch Zhu said, he turned his head and looked at Su Wanru, and his eyebrows frowned. Yang smiled and said: "This little embroiderer is not bad, new here?"
Director Duan introduced it in a low voice, and Si Sanbao's eyes lit up, remembering that it was the little embroiderer he planned to give Shen Zhan to be his concubine, and she was indeed born very well.
"Do you need your aunt?" Si Sanbao asked.
This time, Su Wanru didn't evade, and replied: "My embroidery was not sent for the appraisal, my embroidery master and I came over to look for it."
"It's lost?" Si Sanbao raised his eyebrows, and looked at Aunt Qiu, "The competition is a big deal, how could it be lost." After finishing the sentence, he pointed to the person he had brought, "Help Su Xiuniang find it. "
A group of hula-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-a group of people searched everywhere in the yard one after another.
Su Wanru retreated beside Aunt Qiu, showing that she had done something wrong, "Aunt... did I say something wrong?"
"Forget it. You can't hide it." Aunt Qiu sighed, and sent someone to look for it. After a while, Mama Cai found the embroidery in the side room and came out holding it in her hand. "It's strange, I'll pick it up in the morning." When I was doing embroidery, I didn't see that there was a..."
"I guess it's messed up." Aunt Qiu took it over, and Eunuch Zhu said, "Mother Su embroidered it, let me have a look at it."
Aunt Qiu handed over the embroidery, and Eunuch Zhu took a look, he was surprised, stared at it for a long time, and murmured: "...Godfather, come and see."
"How?" Si Sanbao glanced at the words, and then heyed, "This...is a small statue?"
It is a small portrait of Si Sanbao, wearing the brocade robe of the chief executive, and the official hat with a round top, with slightly raised sword eyebrows and deep eyes, revealing a righteous masculinity.
"It's the first time I've seen Zajia." Si Sanbao hid his face and smiled, holding it in his hand and looking at it lovingly, "This little girl is really dexterous. Come and see, isn't she similar to Zajia?"
Su Wanru blushed in due course.
"It's not just a resemblance, it's exactly the same." Eunuch Zhu flattered and gave Su Wanru a thumbs up, "Wonderful!"
Director Duan and Aunt Qiu didn't go to the museum to check it out during this time, and seeing this little portrait now, they couldn't help showing a strange expression.
"Is this the embroidery you participated in?" Si Sanbao was very happy, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Su Wan was so blessed, she said yes, "...a girl who embroiders without permission, please don't blame me, father-in-law."
"No, no." Si Sanbao laughed, with a satisfied expression on his face, he turned to look at Mr. Duan, "This little girl is clever, I'll see, she won. Let her follow along." San Niang, experience and experience will be of great use in the future."
When Si Sanbao opened his mouth, how could Director Duan refuse? Moreover, Si Sanbao was coaxed to be happy, which is a great thing for Jinxiufang, "Yes, I will listen to your father-in-law's arrangement."
"Okay, I'll take this embroiderer back home." After Si Sanbao finished speaking, he looked at Su Wanru again, "Come here, give this girl 50 taels of silver."
It's better to hang it on the wall and put it in the study so that everyone knows it. When my identity is revealed to the world, I will look back and see how Zhao Zhiang treats you.
Su Wanru smiled and thanked her for accepting the silver ticket, "Thank you, Eunuch, for the reward!"
"Not only is the workmanship good, but the corners of the mouth are also sharp." Si Sanbao chuckled, admiring Su Wanru's way of meeting her expectations.
The atmosphere was excellent, and Si Sanbao's attitude was unprecedentedly good.
Si "You don't have to be afraid of people coming from the capital this time. There are miscellaneous people here. If they make trouble, they will call back one by one." Si Sanbao said.
Director Duan suddenly felt relieved, what she was waiting for was this sentence, "I'm afraid they will do something..." If the people from the capital are determined to harm them, there are plenty of opportunities, as long as they do something on the dragon robe , when the time comes, the entire Jinxiu Workshop will be lost.
"I don't even have the guts to let them go." Si Sanbao snorted coldly, "Don't worry, the miscellaneous family knows it well."
Director Duan heaved a sigh of relief, and respectfully sent Si Sanbao away.
The father and son got into the sedan chair and returned to the mansion. The servant brought the statue in. Si Sanbao stroked it, nodded and said, "You have a good eye. It will definitely come in handy."
"My son thinks so too." Eunuch Zhu said with a smile: "She was not surprised or afraid when she faced Master Hou. At that time, she felt that she was different from the embroidered lady next to her."
Si Sanbao nodded.
In Jinxiufang, Duan Zhang looked at Su Wanru with complicated eyes. She was really happy that Si Sanbao could show his attitude before the people from the capital arrived, and would definitely protect them in the future. The stone that had been pressing was loosened.But this was done by a little embroiderer, she couldn't help feeling that she was old and couldn't think of such a thing, so she smiled and said: "You are smart, let's embroider with Sanniang for a while and learn hard." Jiao Zhenying said: "Don't assign her anything else."
Jiao Zhenying lowered his head and said yes.
"Come with me." Aunt Qiu grimaced, turned and walked in front, Su Wanru and Jiao Zhenying looked at each other, Jiao Zhenying winked at her, and said in a low voice: "Be nice, you'll be fine."
Su Wanru nodded and followed Aunt Qiu.
"You knew about this from the beginning?" Director Duan looked at Jiao Zhenying.
Jiao Zhenying smiled shyly, Su Jin is such a shrewd person, she would definitely pull her brother along for this kind of sycophantic behavior that would be scolded and despised, so she told her early in the morning, and it was called a consultation , In fact, she was dragging her to take the blame.
This blame was blamed, and she still had no way to refute, so she could only say: "Yes, she discussed this matter with me."
"You young people." Duan Zhangshi shook his head without breaking a smile, with complicated emotions, "Okay, okay. Let you make trouble."
Jiao Zhenying smiled and said yes.
It was really guessed by Su Jin, this little girl has a heart all over her body.
"What did you think?" Aunt Qiu closed the door, turned around and stared at Su Wanru, and asked, Su Wanru lowered her head and said, "Yes, when I won Sister Wu's selection, I was just thinking about it." What am I going to embroider?"
"The area of the strip screen is small, so I plan to embroider it." Su Wanru is three points true and seven points false, "I'm a newcomer, and my skills are no better than the other sisters in the museum... If I want to win, I just have to make people refreshed, so, I I am going to embroider a small portrait. I originally wanted to embroider you, Auntie, but I was afraid that the manager would see it, so I couldn't justify it... Finally, after much deliberation, I decided on the company."
If you want to embroider, of course embroider Si Sanbao, Duan in charge doesn't dare to refute him on important matters in Jinxiu Workshop.
"You really don't hide it." Aunt Qiu pointed at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You didn't learn well at such a young age, so you are so focused on getting ahead."
Su Wanru raised her head and smiled at Aunt Qiu. She was pretty, and her smile was very sweet, "Auntie, I know I was wrong. You are young and energetic and want to stand out. I will never dare again."
Aunt Qiu suddenly lost her temper, so she poked Su Wanru on the forehead, "Go back and think about it, what is wrong with you."
She doesn't like people being so eager for quick success, but she has to admit that at this juncture, Su Wanru's flattery is just right.
No matter if it was a mistake or she did it sincerely, at least, this girl's heart is in Jinxiufang.
"Yes!" Su Wanru smiled, took Aunt Qiu's arm while the iron was hot, helped her to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I did not flatter the company just for myself. I'm afraid that Mr. Si won't help us. I'll take this opportunity to flatter you, and Mr. Si may express his opinion as soon as he's happy."
In fact, Si Sanbao did express his opinion.
"What's the use of coaxing me." Aunt Qiu took the tea that Su Wanru made, "Forget it. From now on, you have to learn from Sanniang, even if you can't go to the capital in the end, but with such a rare opportunity to experience, what a treat for you It is also a great thing.”
Su Wanru nodded immediately.
"Go, go." Aunt Qiu looked helpless. There are no stupid people in this world, but some people are so smart that people hate them, and even if some people suffer at her hands, she can still let you Feel comfortable, Su Wanru is this kind of person, you are obviously annoyed, but you can't say anything serious.
"Then I'll take my leave." Su Wanru backed out with a smile, and closed the door intimately. Mother Cai stood in the yard, and seeing her, she said, "Sister Su, I really missed that screen for some reason. I am sorry for you, and I apologize to you."
Saying that, she bowed to Su Wanru.
"No, no need." Su Wanru hurriedly helped Cai's mother to stand up, "I also got a blessing in disguise, there is nothing wrong with my mother."
What a talker, Cai's mother said happily: "In the future, if you have anything to do, come and talk to mom, and mom will definitely help you."
Su Wanru hurriedly saluted Mama Cai and thanked her with a smile.
After leaving the courtyard, Su Wanru scorned herself severely. This kind of duplicity, once done once, will be repeated a second time, and the more she does it, the smoother it is...
She shook her head thinking about it, and saw Jiao Zhenying waiting for her with folded arms on the path with displeasure on her face.
"Here comes another teacher to ask the crime." Su Wanru sighed, stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Master Xiu."
Jiao Zhenying put on a serious face, and said, "Don't call me Mr. Xiu. I don't have a friend like you who is full of holes."
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Su Wanru bowed, "At least I won, and we are not ashamed, right?"
Jiao Zhenying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pinched Su Wanru's face, "I think you are the most embarrassing." He said again: "Tell me, when did you hide your embroidery?"
"No." Su Wanru showed a look of ignorance, "How could I hide my own embroidery?"
Jiao Zhenying rolled her eyes, pointed at her and said, "You still say you don't know. How can you be the only one missing when the good embroidery is delivered."
Su Wanru smiled dryly.
If she didn't do this, Si Sanbao's flattery would not have such a good effect.
"Shame. Are you so unconfident in yourself?" Jiao Zhenying tapped Su Wanru's head, "Go back and rest, Sanniang will finalize the draft tomorrow and start embroidering, I see what new patterns you can come up with this time. "
I want to embroider a twelve-sided screen, each one is eight feet high and two feet wide.
Time is still tight.
"I got a reward of 50 taels." Su Wanru said with a smile: "A few sisters lost the election, and I will call a banquet tonight. It's in my yard. It's good for everyone to make a fuss."
Jiao Zhenying smiled and nodded, "When it comes to being a human being, no one can catch up with you."
In the evening, they called Ximian, invited everyone on the second floor to the yard, and sent someone to invite Director Duan and the three aunts. When they learned that it was a gathering of little girls, the managers said they had something to do and didn't come.
Twenty or so girls quarreled in Su Wanru's yard until midnight. They all got a little drunk and sang songs in the middle of the night. The crazy Aunt Qiu frowned.
Su Wanru was also a little dizzy from drinking, she was sitting on a chair holding the teacup and giggling, Cai Xuan was held up by Zhou Huaijuan, she turned her head to support her and waved her hand, "You should go to bed early too, the mother-in-law will come tomorrow morning tidy."
"Let's go, let's go." Su Wanru stood at the door, waving her hands, and said with a smile, "I still have some silver, let's continue drinking tomorrow night."
Zhou Huaijuan rubbed her round belly and spat, "You want to make me fat, so I won't come to eat." Saying this, she helped Cai Xuan, who was stumbling around, and left.
Su Wanru stood at the door watching, and it took a long time before she closed the door and went in. She held the door unsteadily, and felt sick again. She threw herself on the base of the wall and vomited for a while, before she felt a little better, "This wine is not good... It hurts my heart." .”
She was lying on the table with her hands on her heart, the candlelight was swaying, and her little red face was dazzled. After a while, there seemed to be a figure in front of her eyes. Huaijuan? Why don't you leave, have you lost something?"
"You can't drink but you can still be brave." The man snorted in her ear, hugged her up and put her on the bed, and said disgustedly: "You reek of alcohol!"
Su Wanru tilted her head, sat up propped up and stared at the man's blurred face, "Who... are you?"
The man snorted coldly, pushed her to lie down, and wrapped her tightly with a quilt, "Go back and make hangover soup."
Someone outside the door answered.
Su Wanru was confused, she grabbed the man's hand and raised it to have a look, touched it back and forth, and muttered: "It's so big, so rough...Like, whose hand does it look like." After she finished speaking, she threw away her hand, Suddenly, as if his spiritual wisdom had opened up, he pointed at the man's nose with wide eyes, "Shen... Shen... what is it?"
"Bastard!" The man was furious, biting her finger.
Su Wanru cried out in pain, her eyes turned red immediately, and she whimpered, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!"
Her voice was delicate and soft, and she frowned delicately. No matter how she looked at her, she looked good. The man's bite was a little lighter, but his fingers were reluctant to let go.
Have a great weekend.
