Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 86 Backer
The other party's thread is in Zhou Xian's hands, and it will be broken as soon as it is divided, not to mention silk, even velvet will not work.

"Is it because it's Baoying embroidery, so their embroiderers can't split the thread?" The embroiderer from Jinxiu Workshop next to her laughed and said: "But this is a basic technique, you have to learn it."

Baoying embroidery is good at random needle embroidery, but does not split the thread, and uses the whole thread.

"Don't talk nonsense." Huang Tao stood up and said, "No matter where the embroiderers are, no one can split the thread. There must be something wrong with your thread."

The person on the opposite side snickered and said sarcastically: "See, the thread has been changed. I can't do it myself, so I blame the thread. I've never seen such a shameless person."

"What do you talk about?" Zhou Xian dropped the spool with a snap, and said, "No more!" Wiping her tears angrily, she said to Aunt Huo, "Auntie, that thread..." She hasn't chopped it until now. into a few.

She knows what skills she has. Even if she is not as good as the other party, it is impossible.

"Hush!" Aunt Huo led her to sit down, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, if you lose, you lose. But Su Jin said, we don't feel ashamed if we lose."

Zhou Xian nodded.

The other side burst into laughter.

The gate of Jinxiufang is open today, although the people outside can't squeeze in the gate, they can stand at the bottom of the steps and listen to the young servant's live explanation. The dumpling restaurant next to it also delivers dumpling soup, and it is very lively outside the gate for a while.

"I lost, I lost!" Zhu Xun pointed at Zhou Xian, shook his head and said, "This little embroidered lady is not capable, but she has a big temper!"

Zhou Xian cried in embarrassment.

Zhao Jun looked at Zhu Xun helplessly, and said in a low voice, "We're just here to watch, don't make trouble, it's not easy for them."

"I'll just talk about it." Zhu Xun chuckled, "It's so lively."

Su Wanru felt a headache when she saw Zhu Xun, she spurned him secretly, and advised Zhou Xian in a low voice, "Are you sure there must be something wrong with the thread?"

"I'm sure." Zhou Xian wiped her tears, her tone was certain, "I've been learning embroidery for so many years, and I haven't ever split a thread like this before."

She is sure.

It's just that in front of so many people, how Cui Zhangshi managed to change the thread, and why the other party didn't break the thread when he split it, she couldn't figure it out.

Su Wanru nodded slightly, looking thoughtfully at Cui Zhangshi.

"The result of this game is judgement." Chief Cui saluted his superior, then nodded with Aunt Huo, "Aunt Huo, do you have anything to say?"

Aunt Huo smiled and said: "All you nobles and Cui Zhang will make a decision."

"That's fine. Let's start the second game now." Director Cui said, and asked someone to take away the thread. Su Wanru hurriedly pulled Zhou Xian and whispered something in her ear. Zhou Xian stood up abruptly and said, "The thread Don’t take it away, just put it here.”

The mother-in-law who collected things looked at Cui in charge very embarrassedly.

Li Yu stood up and looked at Zhou Xian sarcastically, "Could it be that you still have to argue with Xian?"

"This is my business." Zhou Xian got up and went over, grabbed the two baskets from the mother-in-law and put them on the table, "The game is not over, no one is allowed to take it away."

She went all out, and it was too embarrassing to lose this round.

"You can stay." Cui Zhangshi looked very tolerant, shook his head with Aunt Huo and sighed: "There are not many people in your embroidery workshop, but everyone's temper is really not small."

One is Zhou Xian, and the other is Su Wanru.

"I'm young, I feel that I'm being bullied, so I'm going to make a fuss." Aunt Huo replied in a hurry, "Boss, don't keep the nobles waiting for a long time."

Cui Zhangshi smiled confidently, and said: "Then continue to the next round." As he spoke, he looked up at the four nobles above him. Among the other three, one didn't pay much attention, and the two didn't pay attention to the competition. Only Zhu Xun booed, "Bi! This one is prettier. The two in front are too shabby."

Zhou Xian trembled angrily, turned her head and said to Su Wanru: "No wonder I often heard that Marquis Changxing beat Zhu Shizi up at every turn. Today I understand it." This man's mouth is really poisonous.

"There's a problem here." Su Wanru pointed to her brain, "Don't listen to him, you look good."

Zhou Xian chuckled and glared at Su Wanru, but her depressed mood improved a lot.

The mother-in-law brought up two embroidery frames, Cui Zhangshi and several nobles explained, and announced the rules: "It's still time for a stick of incense, embroider whatever you want, after a stick of incense, the result will be judged."

"It's been too long for a stick of incense, I'm exhausted from sitting." Zhu Xun became impatient after hearing this, "I think a cup of tea is enough."

Director Cui's eyes twitched, how many stitches can a cup of tea take?It's really interlaced like a mountain.

"Just say it." Zhao Jun said helplessly: "If you come, you will be safe. If you don't understand, don't talk about it." He also said: "This embroidery is slow work and meticulous work. It takes a cup of tea, and there is no slow thread. Get dressed."

Zhu Xun curled his lips and said, "Then don't compare it to embroidery. Anyone can do embroidery. I think it's better than other things."

"I don't know what the prince means... compared to what?" Manager Cui was unhappy, but she had to flatter her. The person who spoke was a high-ranking person, so she lost her teeth in anger, and dared not say a word.

Zhu Xun was leaning on the chair, his eyes rolling, thinking hard.

"Just say it!" Zhao Jun had a headache, "You..." Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xun waved his hands, "Your Highness, wait, I'm sure I can think of something interesting."

Talking and turning around twice, suddenly stopped clapping, looked at the women in the room, "Why don't you sing, or dance, or play the piano!" He said: "This is so interesting, much more interesting than sitting there embroidering gone."

He thought that women's competitions were all about this, but he didn't expect that the score line was embroidered, who would care to watch this thing.

"Your Majesty!" Cui Zhangshi's face changed, and he suppressed his anger, and said: "Whether it is our Jinxiu Workshop or Baoying Embroidery Workshop, they are all embroiderers. Of course, embroiderers are better than embroidery skills, how can there be..."

This Zhu Shizi is too muddy.

What kind of place do you think Jinxiu is?

"Then change it too." Zhu Xun ran to Shen Zhan's side, "Master Hou, what do you mean by comparison?"

Shen Zhan stared at the other side with a strange expression... He couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.

Angry because Su Wanru kept it from him and didn't say anything, not angry because she made such a ghostly appearance, it was really ugly and scary, very safe.

He looked at it but felt pleasing to the eye.

For example, Zhu Xun's mung bean eyes have not looked towards Su Wanru so far.If she hadn't pretended a bit today, Zhu Xun would have run over if she couldn't be sure.

Zhu Xun is shameless when he sees a woman, and he is afraid that he will not be able to help but kill someone.

"Sing what song, do you want to listen to Zuicunlou!" Shen Zhan kicked over, "It's blocking the master, stay and go."

Zhu Xun jumped to avoid the kick, and shouted: "Anyway, I can't compare embroidery. If I compare this, I will leave." There are no beautiful embroiderers, and there are no interesting shows. Who likes to watch these.

"What Zhu Shizi said has some truth." At this moment, Zhao Yan opened his mouth for the first time, looked at Cui Zhangshi and said: "Xiu Niang is a capable person, and she must be excellent in all kinds of skills. But on-site embroidery , and there is only one stick of incense, presumably the Weaver Girl went down to earth, and she couldn’t embroider a single flower, why not..." He glanced around and said: "It's better than threading a needle, the time for a cup of tea, see who wears more .”

What is the analogy of threading a needle, Cui Zhangshi's mouth trembled, and he wanted to explain, but Zhu Xun clapped his hands and said: "Just thread a needle, I agree!"

The needle is still moving anyway.

"Yes!" Director Cui didn't dare to refute. She didn't expect that several masters would intervene in their competition. You must know that they have made sufficient preparations for the three competitions today. There will no longer be a place for Baoying Xiufang to stand.

This commotion now disrupts their rhythm
Su Wanru looked at Zhao Yan, couldn't help but chuckled, and hid behind Zhou Xian, when Zhao Yan looked over, she quietly gave him a thumbs up.

It looked like Jinxiufang was cheating. Now that Zhao Yan made such a fuss, the other party's preparations were useless.

Now everyone is the same, so I don't know who wins or loses.

Zhao Yan did this beautifully.

Zhao Yan also looked at her and smiled, raising his eyebrows!
boom!
Su Wanru was about to look away when she suddenly heard a crackling sound.

She was startled and looked towards the opposite side, and saw that the tea cup held by Shen Zhan had been split in two, and both tea leaves and water flowed out.

"Did the teacup bite you?" Zhu Xun chuckled, pointed at Shen Zhan and said fearlessly, "You have good hands."

Shen Zhan glanced at him coldly, put the two halves of the teacup on the coffee table, brushed away the woman who came to clean up for her, shook his clothes and sat down again, saying: "Sitting tired, move your muscles! " Then he said to Lu Cheng who was waiting at the door: "Bring me your knife!"

Lu Chengying took the knife, and Shen Zhan took it and put it on the table.

The audience was silent, looking at Shen Zhan.

"Look at what you're doing, you should make gestures!" Shen Zhan waved his hands, crossed his legs, changed his calm attitude just now, his eyes showed murderous looks, and he looked like a bandit who robbed a house.

Did he say the wrong thing?Zhu Xun immediately touched his neck.

Zhao Yan held the tea, took a sip with downcast eyes, and put it down leisurely. Zha Rongsheng posted it and said, "My lord... this... why don't you restrain yourself?" He felt that Shen Zhan was trying to warn his master. .

Don't fight again for a while.

"Afraid of what he will do." Zhao Yan stroked his chest, "I'm recovering from my injury, and I'm seeing how my recovery is going."

Zha Rongsheng rubbed his forehead, only to feel his temples throbbing.

Su Wanru retracted her neck and hid behind Zhou Xian, considering whether to leave first.

Aunt Huo didn't notice this, and called Chun Niang nervously: "Your eyes are good, you can go. Wear it well, don't be afraid!" Looking back at Su Wanru, she said in a low voice, "My lord is helping us."

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have opened his mouth to forcefully change Cui Zhangshi's competition.

"En." Su Wanru took the words back, thought for a while and explained to Chun Niang, "Don't be afraid, we have a very good relationship with Lord Ning now, with his protection, nothing will happen."

I hope nothing will happen, Su Wanru's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but cast a glance at Shen Zhan.

He was also looking at her, his eyes were poisonous, making her hairy, and he couldn't help but dodge his eyes, not daring to look back.

This man is mentally ill, and he is still very sick.

"Don't worry." Chun Niang nodded and said: "It's just threading a needle, don't dare to say anything else, if I can't thread a needle, then I really can't do anything."

Su Wanru nodded.

Over there, a young embroiderer from Jinxiufang had already come up, she was temporarily given needles and thread, and brought up with a basket. Humanity: "This time you bring your own needles and threads, so as not to say that others cheat you."

Chunniang couldn't wait, so she hurriedly took her sewing basket and went up.

The gong sounded at the opening, and the audience was quiet, and the needles and threads began to be threaded on both sides. After all, Chun Niang was an old embroiderer, and she almost didn't need to look for the needle's eye. She just flicked the thread and passed through it. From time to time, he raised his head to secretly look at Shen Zhan, his hands were shaking with fright.

With a sullen face, Shen Zhan played with the surviving teacup lid.

"You're too slow." Zhu Xun pointed at the little embroiderer in Jinxiufang, and said, "Hands shaking like poisoned!"

Little Xiuniang was even more frightened, and burst into tears.

It was poisoned, and Shen Zhan's murderous intent.

Director Cui's face turned dark, and he came forward with restraint, and said: "My lord, she has never seen the world at such a young age, and she trembled with fright when she saw all the masters."

"Ugly people make mischief!" Zhu Xun snorted, turned around and sat, wasting the time for a cup of tea bored.

Chun Niang glanced at the opposite side, her heart sank more and more, and the speed in her hand became even faster.

The time for a cup of tea passed quickly, and when a gong sounded, Cui Zhangshi coughed and said, "It's time!"

Both sides stopped, Zhu Xun leaned over again, glanced a few times, and pointed to Chunniang's side, "Obviously there are more here, she won."

Chunniang at least doubled, and the little embroiderer's hands were shaking and she didn't wear a few needles.

"Your Majesty has good eyesight." Director Cui forced a smile and said, "Baoying Embroidery Workshop won this round!" Prince Ning helped Baoying Embroidery Workshop on purpose.

Just why didn't Su Jin come?

She turned around and told the woman beside her, "Let someone go and see why Su Jin from Baoying Xiufang didn't come."

The mother-in-law should go.

Zhou Xian jumped up and cheered, hugging Su Wanru: "We won!"

"Yeah." Su Wanru also laughed, pressed her and said: "Okay, this is not at home, if you make a fuss for a while and offend the nobles above, you are finished." Mainly Shen Zhan.

Zhou Xian nodded immediately, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Got it."

Chun Niang came down with her own things, Zhou Xian pulled her to sit down, and everyone gathered together and chatted.

"Hush!" Aunt Huo said, "The next game has begun."

Everyone quieted down.

"This competition of painting skills," Cui Zhangshi pondered, and there is another game, she will let the opponent lose clearly, "copying the draft, almost every embroiderer has to learn, but there is no difference between good and bad. They are the same, so today we will compare our painting skills!"

This time, she didn't ask the opinions of the top four, and didn't give Zhu Xun a chance to express their opinions, so she immediately asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"The painting is a picture of a butterfly wearing a flower." Cui Zhangshi took out the original manuscript for everyone to see, "This picture has been circulated in Xiufang since a hundred years ago. It is used for embroidery to make hanging screens, floor screens and even There are countless fan fans made after shrinking, so every embroiderer must have drawn this picture, and let them compare it today."

"This is not bad." Zhu Xun nodded, looked at Zhao Yan, and agreed with him for changing the opponent's game without authorization just now, as if he had found a bosom friend, "The color is also pretty, and it is a bit ornamental."

Zhao Yan nodded politely.

"Since the son agreed, let them start." Cui Zhangshi smiled and looked at Aunt Huo, "I don't know who Baoying Embroidery Workshop will send here."

This picture looks good, but because the picture is not coherent, and there are too many butterflies and different shapes, it is actually not easy to draw them well.

"I'll go." Aunt Huo sighed. Everyone in the embroidery workshop can draw, but there are really no good ones. She can only do it by herself in this round. After she finished speaking, Su Wanru pressed her hand and said : "You are an aunt, even if you win, the other party will have something to say."

"Then what should I do." Aunt Huo frowned, her eyes swept over her people one by one, everyone waved their hands, not sure, Su Wanru said: "I'll try."

Aunt Huo's heart skipped a beat, yes, how could she have forgotten Su Jin.

Although I haven't seen her seriously painting, but the calligraphy and painting family, her calligraphy is so good, she must have studied in painting.

"Okay!" Aunt Huo nodded and said, "Just draw your own, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose."

Su Wanru nodded and brushed her robe.

As soon as she stood up, the anticipation in Zhu Xun's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she was drinking tea without thinking at all.

Su Wanru walked to the table, and didn't rush to look at the pen and ink on the table. Instead, she took Zhou Xian's thread and put it on the tip of her nose to smell it, then pulled a piece out to try it out, and heard Li Yu's voice behind her, "Why, do you still think our thread is not good?"

Su Wanru frowned and looked at Li Yu. Li Yu was stunned when she saw her face clearly, and then asked, "Why didn't I see Su Jin? Could it be that she was afraid, so she hid?"

"If you want to know, you should ask her." Su Wanru rolled her eyes and let go of the thread. Li Yu pointed at Su Wanru in a daze, "You..."

This voice and this demeanor are so familiar, there is a feeling of deja vu.

Su Wanru rubbed her forehead, and decided that she will not be easy to tolerate in the future, it's just tasteless!

Originally wanted to hide from Shen Zhan, but Shen Zhan recognized it at a glance... She was a little discouraged, waved her hands and sat down on the table, took a pen and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, then dipped her finger in ink and smelled it... …

"Are you a dog?" Zhu Xun thought it was interesting. The little embroiderer didn't do anything when she came up, she just smelled here and there, "Did you smell anything?"

Su Wanru really wanted to pour all the ink into Zhu Xun's mouth, so she held back and raised her head to smile at Zhu Xun, and said, "Your Excellency, I'm just joking, I'm just afraid that the ink is not right."

What she said was very straightforward. Zhu Xun's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he started chatting after answering the conversation, "What's wrong, are you afraid that they won't color your ink?"

"No, I'm afraid they'll be too jealous." Su Wanru smiled, Cui Zhangshi frowned, and Huang Ying, who was sitting opposite, said: "If you are not satisfied, you can also be like your sisters, with me Change it. I’m afraid that if you lose in a while, you will come back and say that there is something wrong with our things.”

"It's always right to be careful." Su Wanru smiled, but she was thinking in her heart, Jinxiufang is so sure, it is clear that it will win with a certainty.

How do they win? Of course, there are high and low drawing skills. No matter how good Li Yu is, he may not be able to compare with others.

What are they relying on?Like Zhou Xian's thread, playing tricks on it?But the ink and pen are fine...

Is it paper?

She touched the paper, and it was also normal rice paper.

It's strange, Su Wanru couldn't think of it for a moment, she just found it strange.

"Wait a minute." Zhao Yan said suddenly, "I have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the car, why don't the two embroiderers use mine. Since it's a competition, it's better to be fair and just."

Zha Rongsheng should be, and ordered the little servant at the door to fetch pens and inks.

Cui Zhangshi was even more sure that Zhao Yan came today to help Baoying Embroidery Workshop.

It wasn't enough to accompany Lai for a walk yesterday, and today I even came to sit in town in person.

It doesn't matter, Baoying Embroidery Workshop will have to lose in a while.

"My lord, the pen and ink are ready-made. How dare you use yours." Cui Zhangshi stepped forward to salute, Zhao Yan waved his hand, and said: "It's okay, Cui Zhangshi is not polite."

Zha Rongsheng fetched pens and inks, and asked people to replace the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the two tables.

Su Wanru got up to thank her, then sat down with her head down.

Li Yu kept looking at Su Wanru thoughtfully.

There is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the car!Didn't he let it go on purpose to please her daughter-in-law.

Shen Zhan drank three cups of tea angrily,
It is very clear that if he sneaks Su Wanru away in the past, she will not only make a fuss, but also find new excuses to ignore him.

So he decided to endure it, and watched Zhao Yan sing in front of him with cold eyes.

It's just that it's very hard to endure.

"Let's get started." Director Cui glanced at Su Wanru, and nodded with the person who beat the gong. Then the gong rang, and the audience fell silent.

"This painting is really good." Zhao Jun and Zhao Yan said: "It is not easy to draw butterflies with different shapes in the time of a stick of incense."

He felt that it should not be completed.However, since the comparison is the painting skills, even a half frame is fine.

"That's true." Zhao Yan looked at Su Wanru, her eyes were downcast, her expression was quiet, her slender fingers were pinching a brush, although she didn't have the boldness of splashing ink, but she had a unique beauty of chastity... Thinking of him, she looked at Shen Zhan, Shen Zhan is also looking towards...

The four eyes are facing each other, if there is a sound, it must be deafening.

There is an undisguised murderous intent in Shen Zhan's eyes, robbing my wife, mortal... Zhao Yan smiled, the smile floated on his face, you said your wife is your wife?Only when you get married.

"What... what's wrong?" Zhu Xun asked Zhao Jun as if he had discovered something remarkable, "Do these two people have enmity?"

Zhao Jun was taken aback, looked at Shen Zhan, then looked at Zhao Yan, his eyes moved, then turned around, and said to Zhao Yan: "What's the matter, what's the misunderstanding between you and Zhennanhou?"

"No." Zhao Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Hou has a bold temperament, how can we have a misunderstanding."

Zhao Jun smiled and asked, "Are you there for the riot in mid-September?"

"Yes!" Zhao Yan nodded, looking unwilling to talk more.

Zhao Jun's heart turned around, Zhao Yan's appearance of trying to cover up, the two clearly disagree... Is it because Zhao Yan did something in Yingtian, or did something to Zhao Zhiting, so he didn't get along with the prince, so As for the confrontation with Shen Zhan?

There is a possibility, he will investigate this matter after he returns.

I thought about it, Zhao Jun sat more and more upright, today is not in vain, at least let him see the dark tide between Shen Zhan and Zhao Yan.

"Your Highness." Zhu Xun moved the chair to Zhao Jun's side, "I'll go to the clan's mansion tomorrow to find you for a horse-slinging game. I have played with my grandmother a few times recently, and it's very interesting."

Zhao Jun had a headache, and said helplessly: "If you want to fight, go to my mansion, the clan mansion is always inconvenient."

"Who are you looking for at home? There are a lot of people in the clan's mansion." Zhu Xun smiled meaningfully, "And they are all on salary, much more refreshing than servants' wives."

Zhao Jun was helpless and decided not to accept Zhu Xun's words.

"Hey, that little embroiderer draws flowers very quickly." Zhu Xun pointed at Li Yu, "This one is almost finished."

Zhao Jun couldn't help looking to the opposite side, and sure enough, he saw that Li Yu's painting was coming to an end. He walked away from his position strangely, and saw that Li Yu's painting was not only fast, but also very good. , The copy is almost as good as the original picture.

He walked to Su Wanru's side again, and found that Su Wanru had only painted half of it. Although the painting was not bad, but the speed was much slower, not to mention that the similarity with the original work was not as good as that of Li Yu next to her.

He felt that the victory was decided.

clang!
When the gongs and drums sounded, Cui Zhangshi came forward and said with a smile: "It's time, no matter where you are painting, stop."

"Put the paintings of the two together and let everyone judge together." Director Cui didn't need to look at Li Yu's paintings at all, so he walked up to Su Wanru and asked people to take half of her painting, and put it next to Li Yu's entire painting. Together, hang it on the screen in the middle hall, "My lord, Your Highness, Lord Hou, Lord Shizi, please judge!"

"This one is good." Zhu Xun pointed to Li Yu's painting, "It's like a painting, and it's finished. Although the painting here is more interesting, it's only half a picture, so it won't work."

Zhao Jun also nodded, and said: "That's right. The embroiderer is not a painter, what she needs to do is to copy the similarity. Obviously this embroiderer is better." He was referring to Li Yu's painting, and turned around to ask Shen Zhan and Zhao Yan, "What do you think?"

Cui Zhang has a plan in mind, the four of them, even if Zhao Yan helps Baoying Embroidery Workshop, it will be fine, they will win anyway.

"I think this half is good." Zhao Yan put his hands behind his back and looked at Su Wanru's painting with a look of appreciation, "I can see my skills with a few strokes. If I have enough time, this painting will definitely be much better."

Zhao Jun also stepped forward to see Su Wanru's painting.

They gathered in front of the painting, and everyone was pointing and discussing.

Li Yu stood aside and looked at Su Wanru with provocative eyes.

"How did you finish the painting?" Su Wanru stood beside Li Yu with a provocative tone, "Did you copy it or draw it?"

She thought that the means of Jinxiufang would be hers, such as making some tricks on ink and paper, but when she saw that Li Yu's paintings were not only proficient but also fluent in brushwork, she remembered that the other party's hands and feet were done by Li Yu. on paper.

She was sure that there must have been drawings on that piece of paper beforehand, and Li Yu only had to trace the lines.

Just sketching, the speed is of course fast.

"Don't compare if you can't afford to lose." Li Yu sneered, "Go back and tell Su Jin, I will definitely let her crawl to Aunt Feng's grave, kowtow to apologize, and I will definitely avenge Aunt Feng."

Su Wanru gave her a blank look.

"So, the lord is standing on this half?" Zhu Xun suddenly became interested, "Now we are two to one, and we still win the whole." He didn't dare to ask Shen Zhan's opinion, and he knew that Shen Zhan was impatient. No, he didn't have the guts to go to the trouble.

What's more, his knife is still on the table.

"Thank you, my lord, your highness and the son of the world for appreciating it." Cui Zhangshi didn't dare to ask Shen Zhan, and after three people commented, the matter was settled, not to mention, as long as anyone has eyes, anyone can see it Pros and cons.

She took a cautious look at Shen Zhan, and sure enough, she saw Shen Zhan sitting drinking tea, not intending to appreciate it at all.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yan frowned, and did not refute what Cui Zhangshi said, but raised his hand to touch Li Yu's words, after smelling them, he understood immediately.

"Then the result of this round is..." Director Cui thought about his words and was about to speak when he saw Shen Zhan, who was sitting, suddenly stand up, walk over with his hands behind his back, and stand between the two paintings. Looking forward.

Could it be that Marquis Zhennan has changed his mind and wants to appreciate and vote?
That's okay, Zhennan Hou has never liked to play with words and ink, he must be much more direct and simpler than Prince Ning in appreciating good or bad paintings.

What's more, seeing that Lord Hou and the prince don't deal with each other, he definitely doesn't want to be like the prince.

Cui Zhangshi's heart turned, and he said with a smile: "Please enlighten me, Lord Hou!"

"Master Hou." Zhu Xun approached with a smile, "Which one do you think is better? His Highness Fifth Highness and I think this one is better, and the prince thinks this half is better..."

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands, and said: "If I had known about the start of the game, let's bet on who would win. Alas, it's too late, too late, and the fun is missing."

Su Wanru stood behind, secretly waiting for Shen Zhan, this person is so angry now, he won't tear up all the paintings, right?

She hasn't spoken yet, she hasn't pointed out that Jinxiufang is cheating, if he dares to make trouble, she will ignore him again.

Zhao Yan was wary of Shen Zhan, frowning, trying to stop him from talking about the drawing paper.

Because if Shen Zhan said that Jinxiufang's paintings were good, the winner would really be decided. Then when he talked about the drawing paper, he would inevitably lose his persuasiveness.

Zhao Yan coughed.

"How is it?" Zhu Xun pulled Shen Zhan and asked, "Quickly tell me which one is better."

Everyone looked at Shen Zhan, waiting for him to speak to decide the winner.

Li Yu looked towards Su Wanru and Baoying Embroidery Workshop, and sneered, it doesn't matter if you have the support of the prince, there are always people who know the goods and are fair.

There are many dignitaries in this capital, no matter how powerful the prince is, he must pay attention to fairness.

What's more, King Ning's power is not as powerful as Zhennan Hou. Everyone knows that his soldiers are all in Gansu.

She was thinking in her heart that she was about to talk to Su Wanru when she saw Shen Zhan clicking on Su Wanru's painting and saying, "This one is good!"

Which one is better?Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, and Cui Zhangshi had already asked, "Which one is Hou Ye talking about?"

Shen Zhan glanced at Cui Zhangshi in displeasure, brushed off his robe, sat down on the chair, and said nothing with a stern face.

They heard it right, Zhennan Hou said this half is good?

What's wrong with this half, she only painted half of it.Isn't there a conflict with Prince Ning? Why is there no conflict on this matter.

Cui Zhangshi and Li Yu looked at each other in disbelief.

"You mean this one?" Zhu Xun pointed at Su Wanru's painting and looked at Shen Zhan, "No way, you have the same opinion as the prince!" Just now, the one who was fighting openly and secretly, now agrees?How attractive is this painting?
Didn't see it, Zhu Xun looked puzzled.

Shen Zhan snorted coldly, whoever has the same opinion as him, I have the same opinion as my wife.

"How to divide, who wins?" Zhu Xun let out a hey, thinking it was too interesting, "Master Cui, this should be considered a loss for you!"

Director Cui came back to his senses for a long time, looked at Zhu Xun, "Why did you say that, my son, this round should be a draw." A two-on-two draw.

"Nonsense!" Zhu Xun said: "Your painting is half the same as others, whoever you say will win."

Director Cui was stunned... Suddenly he regretted talking about the competition, who knew that not only Zhu Xun came, but also Shen Zhan and Zhao Yan.

It literally turned her winning chance into a losing game.

This... what went wrong.

Su Wanru was also stunned. She looked at Shen Zhan with a smile in her eyes. This man was doing her a favor, not only did she not tear up the painting, she even helped her out.

For the sake of his saving face today, if he asks, then explain it to him.

Zhao Yan glanced at Su Wanru's face, his eyes sank slightly, and suddenly he patted the table. Everyone was startled, and looked at the always gentle King Ning and said angrily: "Master Cui, you are appointed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." As for the matter, if it is a man, it should be of high rank. This king never thought that your majestic manager of Jinxiu Workshop would actually play such a dirty trick on this kind of matter."

Chief Cui was taken aback, his face was full of panic, and he knelt down with a thud, "The lord calm down, I don't know what the mistress did wrong, I ask the lord to enlighten me, the mistress must correct herself!"

"Zha Rongsheng!" Zhao Yan turned around with his hands behind his back and stomped, "Tell her."

Zha Rongsheng came forward, pointed at the drawing paper, and said, "For this painting, you have drawn a complete picture with alum water on the paper in advance, and then traced it with ink, and the lines of alum will gradually appear. This is not copying and painting, this is simply drawing, so I am ashamed to say that I painted it!"

Zha Rongsheng looked at the dumbfounded Cui Zhangshi, and said with a sneer, "Don't argue with the miscellaneous family. When the miscellaneous family used this method, you were still holding it in your mother's stomach. Humph!"

Cui Zhangshi was stuck in his throat by his words.

"And this thread!" Zha Rongsheng raised the orchid finger and picked up the thread, "The little girl has been an embroiderer for more than ten years, why is she so stupid that she tore off the thread?" Smelling the thread, Fanning his nose, "It smells like vinegar. You soak this stuff, anyone can tear it off." Two coils of thread, one coil soaked in vinegar, one coil not, Cui Zhang made a fuss when switching.

It looks like the wires are swapped, but it's not.

Cui Zhangshi's face turned pale.

"All the miscellaneous people look down on you." Zha Rongsheng said disgustedly: "You also proposed the competition. You said a lot of good things, and you even mentioned others. It's ridiculous to use this method behind the scenes."

"My lord, father-in-law." Chief Cui shook his head and argued, "This must be a misunderstanding, we can't do such a thing."

Zha Rongsheng said: "Are you saying that the prince and the miscellaneous family framed you?"

"No...it's not." Director Cui didn't dare to argue any further, and his gaze fell on Li Yu, who immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Yes...it's a minnv, and the minnv took the drawing paper privately. It was painted with alum, and the thread was soaked in vinegar, and she doesn't know anything about it."

"Sure enough." Zha Rongsheng said angrily, "Tell me why you did this."

Li Yu replied: "Minnv has an enmity with Su Jin from Baoying Embroidery Workshop, and Minnv wants revenge!"

"How courageous!" Zha Rongsheng said angrily, "It's unreasonable for you to avenge yourself, but bully all the masters." Then he shouted loudly: "Come on, send this little lady to the yamen. Young but narrow minded and sinister. There is no one to discipline Jinxiu Hall, so please ask Shuntian Mansion to take care of it!"

There should be guards outside, who came in boldly, dragged Li Yu and walked outside.

Li Yu's face turned pale, revealing a face full of hatred!

Su Wanru watched, and anxiously winked at Zha Rongsheng, asking her to cover Li Yu's mouth.

Zha Rongsheng was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the meaning, and then heard Li Yu shout: "My lord, you were deceived by Su Jin. She has a deep plan and is simply using you. She always says that you are his backer when she meets everyone. Your power is domineering and domineering outside, bullying others, my lord, you can't be fooled by your beauty."

Su Wanru covered her face, it's over!

The people in Jinxiufang were not surprised, because Zhao Yan accompanied Su Wanru to come here yesterday... But Zhu Xun, Zhao Jun and Shen Zhan were very surprised.

"My lord..." Zhu Xun looked curious, "Have you been fooled by beauty?" He went to look for the pretty people in Baoying Embroidery Workshop, "Have you been fooled by whose beauty?"

No, there is no one that can be called beautiful.

Could it be the one he saw yesterday?It's not beautiful either!

In terms of beauty, Yingtian's little embroidered lady is the most beautiful, but it's a pity, because Yingtian is a human being.

Zhao Yan smiled lightly, and said: "How can you hear what a crazy lady says?" Even though he said this, the look of enjoyment was clearly telling everyone that what Li Yu said was right, I was indeed bewitched by beauty up.

Food and sex, I am a man but not a monarch, and the other party is not a disaster for Daji. If you are confused, you will be confused. This is a romantic thing.

The corner of Zhu Xun's mouth twitched.

"Zhong Yuan." Zhao Jun was also curious, "Which embroiderer do you...have a crush on? Is she here?"

But Zhao Yan looked at him and said: "Since Wu Ge's embroidery work has been given to Baoying Embroidery Workshop, it's better not to change it. Since they dare to accept it, they are sure to do it better than other places." He added: " Big business also starts from a small business, it is a small matter for us, but it is a big matter for others. If you do it easily, you should help them."

Help someone, help you.Zhao Jun was dumbfounded.

"You, I really can't see it." Zhao Jun laughed, "My father was worried about your poor health yesterday, but now it seems that there is no need to worry."

Who the hell is this Su Jin? It seems that his embroidery work is for Baoying Embroidery Workshop, and he also stopped by to see what kind of skills a little embroiderer has.

Zhao Yan waved his hand helplessly, turned his eyes to look at Shen Zhan, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his expression was indifferent.

But in Shen Zhan's eyes, it was provocation.

Su Wanru lowered her head, and in the noisy main hall, where no one cared about winning or losing, she slowly and calmly backed away, looking at Shen Zhan's face while she was backing...

Heavy, heavy as if it was going to snow, it was on top of her head, and the surrounding area was so cold that it was about to freeze.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, this is her only thought at the moment.

As for the competition, Aunt Huo will take care of the rest anyway, and they won, that's enough.

She stepped back, turned around with purr eyes, and thought of Amitabha Buddha in her heart.

boom!
One side was broken, the roof shook with the sound, and the noise of the scene suddenly fell silent!
Su Wan's footsteps paused in horror, and then she was about to leave with her skirt in hand, when two voices rang out from behind...

Holding the knife, Shen Zhan said word by word: "Take a step and try!"

Zhao Yan smiled, got up and left the chair, "It's cold outside, I'll take you back."

Su Wanru didn't dare to turn her head back, the surroundings were silent, countless eyes fell on her, as if they wanted to pierce her through a hole.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yan came over, bent over, and said with a smile, "Are you tired?"

It was the first time that Su Wanru felt Zhao Yan's "maliciousness." This malice was not towards her, but towards Shen Zhan. Now she was worried. She thought about carefully looking behind Zhao Yan, and saw Shen Zhan hugging him. With the knife standing upright, his complexion could no longer be described as ugly.

She wrung her hands and twitched the corners of her mouth at Zhao Yan, Zhao Jun was here, Zhu Xun was here, countless pairs of eyes were watching...

She smiled at Zhao Yan and said, "Thank you, my lord." As she spoke, she followed Zhao Yan and walked out through a pair of eyes.

Will the psychopath rush over and kill her, or Zhao Yan?
Don't... this competition is a trivial matter, don't make a big deal out of it.
