Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 147 How to Substitute
"At that time, my father gave up his own embroidery factory to support the king's army. The king once promised that the silk and satin in the palace would be supplied to the Xu family in the future. Later, it was only because my father put his mind on the court that he didn't take up the weaving business. Pick it up. But the saying that Xu's family is the first has always been said. Even if you are good at weaving and embroidery, you can't do much. Master Dai can agree to Master Duan's request only because your surname is Xu, and you happen to be in Jinxiufang That's all." Talking about her family's service in the army, Xu Jialan's phoenix eyes were full of brilliance.

Xu Jiatong asked back: "You want to say, as a girl from the Xu family, you will be more popular in Xidu, and you will be more honorable in front of Master Dai, but if you are lacking in weaving and embroidery, you should find a skilled one." Master is enough, isn't it?"

"Isn't it? Master Dai just needs someone who can use the Xu family's name, not a weaving and embroidery master. You just stay in the mansion and wait for your marriage. The outside affairs will not take a few days, and I will definitely take over." Xu Jialan said forcefully.

Mrs. Lin also said: "It was a coincidence that you got online with Mr. Dai, thank you for this matter. But your marriage with the Yang family is about to be finalized, if you show your face again, outsiders will laugh at our Ding'an Houfu. You can get a clue about the matter of Dai Mansion and leave it to Jia Lan, she will be able to do a better job."

"If Master Dai wants to find a girl from the Xu family, he has always been in the Western Capital. Although the Ding'an Hou's Mansion is not considered noble, it is also well-known, and the third sister often goes in and out of King Xiang's Mansion. Even if Master Dai doesn't know it, he His eyes and ears will also remind him. He didn't choose what he kept under his nose, but he agreed to Master Duan's request in Jinxiufang, and he is not a fool." Xu Jiatong said with a sneer.

"At that time, Mr. Dai probably didn't plan to open an embroidery shop in the western capital at all, so he naturally didn't think of me and the Ding'an Houfu." Xu Jialan still insisted.

Xu Jiatong walked in front of her step by step, and said with a smile: "It's true that you have lived in Xidu more than ten years longer than me, and it is true that you have more face in front of your father and dignitaries. I was brought up by a grandmother who was a female official? And have you been trained by a master who was also a female official in the palace for more than ten years? You think you can replace me by finding a master who is skilled in weaving and embroidery. Far."

"Your grandmother and master are female officials at most, but your father is a former minister. With his help, Jialan's affairs will only go smoothly. Even if it is not smooth, you, a girl who is about to marry, will not be able to show your face everywhere. This matter That's it, tomorrow you will take Jialan to Dai's mansion and make your confession clear." Lin said in a calm and unhurried manner.

No matter how capable Xu Jiatong is, he is also a child. Could it be possible that he can still disobey his mother?
This is not just any small place that can't be seen on the stage. Once the children disobey their parents, they are considered unfilial, and the family can be expelled if it is serious.And once expelled from the family, as a woman, there is generally no way out, even marriage is difficult.

Clever, capable of tossing around, so what if she has seen through their schemes, Lin smiled slightly, as long as she was Xu Xiaozu's wife, Xu Jiatong would not be able to find her palm.

"Don't be stupid, the king said that, it's true, but after all these years, the Xu family has not done this kind of business anymore, and the supply of silk and satin in the palace is also taken care of by several big imperial merchants. Could it be that because the Xu family suddenly said that they were going to pick it up again, they obediently handed it over? Master Dai first chose Jinxiufang, and then appointed me, Xu Jiatong, as the person who continuously guides and supervises. And what if I suddenly let go, Master Duan will send another person to replace me, and will never hand over the job to Third Sister." Xu Jiatong said firmly.

It's not that she, Xu Jiatong, is irreplaceable, but that Jinxiufang is irreplaceable.And the person sent by Jinxiufang could be any master in the workshop, maybe even Lu Yurou, but it is absolutely impossible to be Xu Jialan who can't even walk through the door.

"The Jinxiu workshop can have today's achievements and status. The people who enter the workshop and the brocade embroidery products that leave the workshop are the bottom line. Don't say half a step, even an inch of land will not be retreated! Third sister, you enter the workshop first, and then replace it." I'm not too late. As for marriage, I still have to enter the palace to wait for election. Before the queen's imperial approval, I can't get married. No matter how good Mr. Yang is, if there is no clear will for one day, the marriage cannot be settled. Mother, Don't forget, the king and the empress also announced me to the palace." Xu Jiatong reminded.

A few days ago Xu Jiatong was supposed to enter the palace to meet him, but Empress Wu suddenly caught cold, so the meeting was postponed.

Guess Lin's despised Xu Jiatong even more because she saw that this matter was delayed, and felt that the previous decree of kindness was just a whim of Zhao Yu and Queen Wu.

Xu Jiatong also knew that the sooner she entered the palace to meet her, the sooner her status would be higher, but the things in the palace were beyond her control, so she could only continue to wait.

But she is different from Lin, she never thinks that Zhao Yu and Queen Wu are acting on a whim.First personally adding her to the roster to be selected, and then personally announcing her into the palace, she is extraordinary everywhere, this is no longer justified by chance or coincidence.

Xu Jialan's eyes darkened, and she asked, "Don't you really want to marry Mr. Yang, and want to become the young wife of the Yang family? Why did you change your mind now?"

There was also a trace of inquiry in Lin's eyes, she and Xu Jialan thought of going together, could it be that Xu Jiatong already knew Yang Zhongtian's true temperament and strange disease?

Xu Jiatong looked at them, suddenly became embarrassed and hesitated, and his body was not as straight as before.

"What kind of family is the Yang Mansion? How can I not think about it. You are kind enough to want to settle my marriage. How can the nobles in the palace really want to arrange a good marriage for me with their hearts? It’s just obvious, but the inside is definitely not as caring and smooth as the parents’ decision-making. But isn’t it important to put the king and the queen’s empress first? It’s too early to decide, even if the two families keep it secret, it’s inevitable that there will be no leaks, that’s Being disrespectful to the king and the queen is not good for the Yang family, and I don't want to get killed." Xu Jiatong showed a trace of timidity.

In the previous dynasty, there was a precedent for a young lady who was to be selected to marry without authorization. After the incident, she was ordered to die and her father and brother were also demoted. She was afraid of it as a matter of course.

Xu Jialan thought for a while, and then said: "Even if you can't make an appointment or write a marriage letter, you are still a member of the Yang family on the face, and you can't show your face. The king, the queen, and the empress have their father, mother, and my grandmother. Say, persuade, you don’t need to worry.”

"That's fine, but I'm afraid that Master Dai and Master Duan won't agree. If you don't know, I'll take you to see Master Dai before we talk about it?" Xu Jiatong sighed.
