Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 162
Xu Jiaxing listened attentively, and didn't say a word like "this embroidery is too precious" or "this thing is too fragile". For a moment, she seemed to be thinking, but it was only a fleeting moment.

"This bird magpie seems to be alive, extremely agile. Although I don't have much knowledge, I think there won't be too many good things in this world." Xu Jiaxing complimented.

In fact, Xu Jiaxing doesn't think this picture of a bird magpie is particularly good. On the contrary, she thinks that Xu Jiatong deliberately painted many places more complicated in order to show his skills, with so many layers that it is a bit thick and clumsy. It is not as good as the landscape hanging in Xu Jiatong's boudoir. interesting.It's just that she has planned a lot at this time, and she doesn't have the heart to say it outright.

"Accept your precious words, I hope it will be like this. If you can emerge, I will never forget you." Xu Jiatong smiled and accepted her compliment, showing some joy after being complimented.

Xu Jiaxing didn't stay any longer, and left in a hurry after saying that she would go back to prepare the embroidery.Aunt Zhen was left standing at the door, looking at Xu Jiaxing's farther and farther figure with erratic eyes.

"Sixth Sister is a poor person. She lost her biological mother since she was a child. Although her biological mother is just an aunt, it's better to have it than nothing. She grew up with an old servant girl, and no one cares about her health. I don't know how much she has suffered." Xu Jiatong said compassionately.

Aunt Zhen came back to her senses and looked at her with an unnatural tone: "Miss Six's biological mother is not an aunt, but a concubine."

"Oh? How could this be? After all, she gave birth to a daughter, but she hasn't been raised as an aunt yet. Even if she left during childbirth, she should give her a name. My father doesn't seem like a heartless person." Xu Jiatong finished speaking. He has already turned to the embroidery workshop and sat down on the short pier in front of the bird magpie picture.

"Yes, the master is not a heartless person." Aunt Zhen said in a low voice, moved her feet, and followed.

"Sixth Younger Sister has shown her face this time, so she must have a better proposal in terms of marriage, and it can be regarded as a consolation to her biological mother." Xu Jiatong glanced at her, and immediately focused on the bird magpie picture.

The peony flowers on the edge of the bird magpie painting have not been connected yet, and the needle and thread in Xu Jiatong's hands seemed to have a soul. Driven by her skillful hands, they kept jumping and shuttling, and the thin seam disappeared after a while.

Mother Zhen looked at it for a while, then said thoughtfully: "The silk is thin and the time is short. If there is a mistake in the warp and weft, I am afraid there is no way to make it up. It is also fortunate that you dare to take such a risk, slave girl I think it’s safe to do so at this time.”

"You don't understand this? The weaving method of the lower layer of my embroidery is to prevent this layer. Even if there is a fault, the work of the palace gate gambling game will not be lost for a while. Unless... "Xu Jiatong didn't continue, lowered his eyebrows, and watched with satisfaction that the embroidery was finally completed.

It was night, and the night was quiet. Aunt Zhen said that it was for Xu Jiatong to sleep more peacefully in the past few days, and also to be more energetic on the day of the game at the palace gate, so she deliberately added more people to patrol the night near the painting garden.She herself stayed up in a daze and took a nap in the side room next to the gate of the painting garden.

Bi Shui was dragged into the house by Xu Jiatong to watch the night. Bi Shui was supposed to lie on the couch outside, but now he was with Xu Jiatong.

"There is no need for so many more people to watch the night. She looks disturbed and kind." Bi Shui muttered in a low voice.

"Uneasy and kind? It's not their kindness that I want. I have been tempting them for a long time, and I think it will be possible in these two nights. Have you made arrangements for Fifth Sister?" Xu Jiatong's voice was also suppressed. very low.

"According to your instructions, this servant has added a little drug to the tremella porridge she is drinking tonight, so that she can sleep soundly until dawn without harming her body," Bi Shui said.

"It's for her own good. I'm afraid that something will happen to her temper and she will be hated by Xu Jialan again." Xu Jiatong said.

The painting garden was built under the supervision of the Du family back then. The Du family is good at military strategy and ingenious mechanisms. The whole painting garden has all the mysteries in it.And these were all written in Du's handbook, but they were mixed in a large pile of books and scrolls and were not discovered by anyone.

Xu Jiatong heard Cao Shi vaguely mention that Cao Shi once lived here for a while when Ding'an Hou's Mansion was just the Xu Mansion.She once accidentally saw Mrs. Du writing this letter, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hit each other well, and only after a few more sentences did she understand it.

However, Mrs. Cao just thought that Mrs. Du was only talking on paper and didn't put it into action, so she didn't take it too seriously, and the two of them just talked a few words.Thinking of this, Xu Jiatong rummaged through the collection of books in Huayuan, only to find this dusty notebook.

Then, according to the manuscript and the layout of the painting garden, I found that there was something wrong with it.It's as if these rooms have small holes connected to the copper pipes, and the noise of the neighboring rooms can be heard from the copper pipes.I don't know what is added to this so-called brass pipe, which can transmit sound better than ordinary brass pipes.

It can be said that the Du family took great pains to build these, and it is impossible for there to be no movement, but at that time Xu Xiaozu had already lingered in the current Lin family, so it was not unusual to not find these.

"Listen, there is a sound." Xu Jiatong listened to the mouth of the brass pipe.

The brass pipe happened to be behind a loose piece of masonry on the inside of the bed, and it fit her right now.But when she thought about it again, she was very sad. It was set in such a close place, so it could be seen that it was used for falling asleep. When she fell asleep, she had to care about even the slightest sound outside, which shows how difficult Du's life was at that time.

Bi Shui held her breath, and she could hear some footsteps from her position. It seemed that the sound of footsteps was so soft that it took a lot of concentration to hear it, but when the embroidery was taken off the embroidery stand, there was still some sound.

The sound of the silk being separated from the wooden utensil was very obvious, and they still moved after all.

Bi Shui got up, gently opened the small window, and watched intently.A person wearing the coarse clothes of a low-level servant was coming out of the embroidery workshop, and turned into the ear room next to the door.

"It's Mother Zhen, she's too courageous." Bi Shui didn't expect her to be blatantly blatant.

"She has strengthened the inspection of the outer courtyard, but there is no inside. It can be seen that she is not sincerely for my good. It is expected that she has a plan. You don't have to worry, and you don't have to rush to see it. You go around tomorrow morning and see her Did you go to other places, did you lose or burn some silk threads?" Xu Jiatong said pointedly.

Bi Shui nodded heavily, and said again: "I don't know if she damaged the picture of the bird magpie, or simply changed it. It will be sealed in a wooden box tomorrow morning. If it is the latter, she will definitely stop you from going again." Look at your own embroidery."

"You, then tell me that I won't go to see it." Xu Jiatong said.
