Chapter 160 Kill and Release
The plaque was inscribed by Dai Yuanguan himself, and if he was lucky with his fortune, he might make a lot of money.

With this plaque alone, there will be more dignitaries or their stewards attending the opening ceremony. Xu Jiatong is well aware of this truth and also understands the convenience this plaque will bring her.

"Thank you, Mr. Dai. Don't worry. Before the gamble at the palace gate, the affairs of Jinxiufang will definitely be settled. After that, as long as the master and the shopkeepers are dedicated, everything will be smooth. After the New Year next year, Master Duan will come It's over." Xu Jiatong was afraid that he would feel that he was slacking off, so he hurriedly explained the existing arrangements clearly.

"Gambling game at the Palace Gate?" Zhao Yuanshen frowned, his eyes converged, and he calmed down again, "Alright, after entering the third round, you will be able to meet some nobles in the palace. You should meet them, from now on Hard times come."

Zhao Qiyun watched Xu Jiatong get on the boat and leave before entering the water pavilion.Zhao Yuanshen spread out the rice paper again, picked up the pen, and froze there, not knowing how to write it.

"What do you want to write, Master?" Zhao Qiyun asked carefully.

"Kill." Zhao Yuanshen said one word first, and when he was about to write, he said another word, "Let go."

Zhao Qiyun thought for a while, and finally said what he had been thinking about for a long time: "The slave girl looks at the fourth girl very well, why don't you marry her. You marry her and smooth things over, so the matter can't be exposed gone?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Yuanshen said decisively, and gave him a cold look, "But since she is the blood of my father, I still have to keep her. I can't be an ungrateful person."

Zhao Qiyun smiled: "Master, are you thinking of your Majesty's kindness for letting her go, or is Miss Four no longer normal in your heart?"

One stroke at a time, Zhao Yuanshen wrote the word "Fang" on the back of the paper.He sat back on the wooden wheelchair again, as if limp.

When Xu Jiatong came out of the water pavilion, she only felt that her footsteps were flimsy, and Dai Yuanguan's words were false and true, which made her have many guesses.

To give her and grandmother stability and even wealth for the rest of their lives, as long as she helps him take care of the Jinxiu workshop, I believe he will keep his promise.

However, Xu Jiatong is not the only one who can take care of Jinxiufang. There are even many people who can do better than her. Why should he give her all that?
However, it didn't look like he was lying to her.There must be some reason she didn't know.

Xu Jiatong recalled the scene from the first time he saw Dai Yuanguan to the present, the more he thought about it, the more strange it became.On the way back to Ding'an Hou Mansion, she was also in a daze, not knowing where she was thinking.

Back in the painting garden, Xu Jiatong looked at his embroidery with restlessness. It was a picture of a bird and a magpie. The lines were drawn in cyan and supplemented with silk threads of various bright colors. It was refreshing to look at.

"Ah Xiang, did someone come here just now? Someone moved this embroidery?" Xu Jiatong asked.

Ah Xiang came in, and said unexpectedly: "Miss Six has been here, but she didn't enter this room."

"Are you sure?" Xu Jiatong finally lost his gaze.

She purposely prevented anyone from moving, folded a corner on the tarpaulin, and tucked it to the side of the embroidery.When she looked at it just now, the tucked horns spread out, and she saw that someone had moved.

Ah Xiang hesitated for a moment, walked behind the screen and pushed open the window for a look: "After the sixth girl came, she went to the embroidery room, and the servants kept watching. If she really came in, she could only come out from the window of the embroidery room, and then go to the embroidery room." Come in through this window. But Miss Six is ​​also a person of status, how could she be so secretive?"

Xu Jiatong went over to take a look, and there was nothing unusual on the blue brick floor between the two rooms, but there was indeed a bit of mud on the base of the wall.

Xu Jiatong closed the window and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm probably suspicious. The window is so high, she can't get over it. Don't tell anyone what you just said, so as not to cause suspicion."

"Yes." Ah Xiang said obediently.

"Your knitting and embroidery skills are also good. Practice your hands when you have nothing to do, and it will be useful in the future." Xu Jiatong has already begun to calculate that if she really becomes a female official, it will be difficult for her to have a chance to go out of the palace. There are people to take care of.

Ah Xiang's embroidery skills are good, and she is also well-mannered. She also mentioned it to Duan before.In the future, Ah Xiang can study art in Jinxiufang and learn account management from the shopkeeper at the same time.

"Fourth sister?" Xu Jiaxing unexpectedly came again.

"You just..." Xu Jiatong asked suspiciously, as if happy to see her.

"I went to talk to Fifth Sister." Xu Jiaxing smiled and looked at the embroidery frame, "Is this embroidery by Fourth Sister?"

Xu Jiatong said openly and honestly: "Yes, this is the embroidery I want to take to the palace gate gambling game. It has not been embroidered yet, and it will take two days to finish. Wait until the night before, and then put my eyes on it, and it will be finalized."

"It was done the day before, is it too late? If there is a mistake, wouldn't it be impossible to make up for it?" Xu Jiaxing asked anxiously.

Xu Jiatong said: "Even if the embroidery isn't good enough, it's still pretty good. It's hard to find anything perfect in this world. Come, tell me, how is your embroidery?"

"The embroiderer has already handed it over to me, [-]% of the embroidery is done, and the remaining [-]% ​​are done by myself. I am different from the fourth sister, I just want to show my face in the first round, as long as my name can be recognized by the female officer. Just say it out of my mouth, and I'm satisfied." Xu Jiaxing said.

"Have you talked to Third Sister and Mother about this?" Xu Jiatong felt that Xu Jialan would not let her go with her.

Xu Jialan likes to have a monopoly in everything, and she hopes that she is the only girl in Ding'an Hou's mansion who shows her face.She hoped that in the future, when someone mentioned the palace gate game this time, they would think of her, Xu Jialan.

Besides, the appearance of Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaxing not only delayed her from taking this exclusive share.Steal her limelight, she is not willing.If it was too bad, she would feel that she had lost face with herself.

Xu Jiaxing nodded rather bluntly: "They know it, and it was useless to say that I went, but fortunately they agreed to let me go out that day, and let me die."

"I heard that in the first round of the palace gate game, as long as the pattern is beautiful and the embroidery is meticulous, you can enter the second round. This is also to let more people have fun with the queen. If you follow my method, you will definitely be able to But you have to be careful. Don't tell others about it. There are too many people, and hands and feet may not be clean. Embroidery is a precious thing. In the end, there should be no mistakes. You said that you only have this chance , you should be careful, right?" Xu Jiatong said.

Xu Jiaxing smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Sister, I will definitely take care of my affairs and will not miss this opportunity."

Seeing off Xu Jiaxing, Xu Jiatong looked at the picture of a bird and magpie and smiled, then turned around and called Ah Xiang in.She took out a pair of cards from the drawer and handed it to Ah Xiang.

"You go to the workshop of Jinxiufang in the south of the city. There is a master surnamed Wang who comes from Jinxiufang in Kunshan. You give her the pair of cards, and she will give you an embroidery. You bring it back. Don't let others know." Xu Jiatong instructed.
