Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 163

Xu Jiatong heard that there were no more unusual noises in the inner courtyard, so he fell asleep in peace.But Bi Shui didn't dare to rest assured, half asleep and half awake until dawn.

In the middle, when the clear water got up, he pawed at the window for a while, and saw that the courtyard door seemed to be opened half a person wide, and there should be someone waiting outside the door, because Aunt Zhen handed something out in the gap.She was a little unwilling, but with Xu Jiatong's order, she did not act rashly.

But at that moment, she vaguely heard someone exclaim "Ah" in a low voice, as if they were being greeted outside.She listened again, but there was no more sound.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Jiatong washed up early and was very excited. After a while, she called Aunt Zhen to come in and said that the government would send someone to seal the embroidery and let her treat her well. After a while, she called Ah Xiang in and asked her to take care of her too. Go to Xu Jiaqing's side, and then move Bishui around to prepare the clothes she will wear on the day of the game at the palace gate.

Sure enough, after a while, Mother Zhen put down what she was doing and passed on, she said politely: "You are going to gamble at the palace gate, you will surely become a blockbuster, you will be rewarded by the queen, maybe you will be assigned I have other errands. However, since you returned home, you and your wife have not walked around much. When you get busy, you may walk even less. Doesn’t this spread a bad reputation? You will definitely have no time tomorrow Why don't you go pay your respects to Madam today?"

Xu Jiatong glanced at her and pondered for a while: "But the government will send someone to personally supervise the packaging embroidery. Although it's just a servant of the government, if I'm not here, it's also negligent. I'd better send them away. Go and say hello to your mother."

"Of course you have to pay your respects as early as possible. The officials from the government don't know when they will come. If you are late, the third girl should say that you don't understand the rules." Aunt Zhen's tone gradually became tougher, with a hint of scolding her. , "Your biological mother, Mrs. Du, is a very well-behaved person. Don't you lose face by doing this?"

"You served my biological mother?" Xu Jiatong glanced at her.

Xu Jiatong often suspects that in Du's last days, except for Xu Xiaozu's heart is not on her, I am afraid that Du's own heart is not on Xu Xiaozu's body, otherwise how could he allow Lin and Jane to stick to her husband .

Mother Zhen nodded her head: "There was a period of time when the servants went to serve the current wife." She paused for a moment, then went back, "Hurry up and go to Ninghui Hall, there are servants and Ah Xiang Take care of it. Take the embroidery off the frame, Ah Xiang can do the same."

Xu Jiatong pretended to be pondering, and said with a bit of air: "Then I'll go to pay my respects to my mother first. If you make a mistake, don't blame me for not letting you go."

Xu Jiatong took Bishui to Ninghuitang, just after leaving the painting garden, she stopped at the fork in the road, and ordered: "Bishui, you go back first, don't let Zhenma see it, go as I said last night Do."

"Then...you should be careful, girl, I'm afraid that the madam and the third girl will play some tricks again." Bi Shui turned around and went back, sneaking back through the small corner gate of the painting garden.

Mrs. Lin in Ninghui Hall had just finished listening to the account reconciliation of the steward's daughter-in-law, and rubbed her sore forehead. When she heard Xu Jiatong coming, she said directly to Xu Jialan who was learning to read the accounts by her side: "I'm tired today, and I don't want to see her anymore. You Go talk to her a few words. The people sent by the government have already gone to the painting garden at the moment, you can wait a while, and let her go back when it's almost done."

"Mother is well-planned, and everything is under control, and my daughter admires it." Xu Jialan looked at Lin with a smile, and glanced in the direction of Lin's bedroom, "Her things are really exquisite, I really didn't expect her to be such a lowly person I can also embroider something like this. I really want to see how she reacts when she takes out a piece of embroidery that has skipped threads when she is on the high platform."

Two days before the Palace Gate Gambling Game, the yamen will send servants and servants to the pre-recorded lady’s mansion to seal the embroidery into a special wooden tube, and then take it to a place prepared by the government near the gambling game for storage.This is also for fear that if there is some careless presence on the scene or some mistakes on the road that day, it will ruin the lottery.

Furthermore, after all, it is for Queen Wu's birthday. No matter what the weaving skills are, the embroidery must have a good color. It must be auspicious and joyful.Before sealing it up, the servant woman will also look at the embroidery, and seal it up after confirming that it is suitable for use.Doing this is also because I am afraid that when I am on the scene, it is obviously a festive scene, causing many troubles and even killings in the future.

After the embroidery is sealed, it will not be opened until half an hour before the game starts that day, and returned to their embroiderers.Lin and Xu Jialan took advantage of this loophole and wanted to catch Xu Jiatong by surprise.

"One more thing is worse than one less thing. Don't mention this matter again, so as not to be caught by her. Later, I will ask Lan Ying to burn it on the stove, so as not to have too many daily dreams. Just pretend you don't know anything, If she wants to pursue it, you can help her investigate it. She must suspect us, but she has no evidence, it is a false accusation, I want to see how she still has the face to walk around in Xidu. If she can't evade, then... ..." Lin's eyes were dark, thinking of the Yang family, the corners of her mouth slowly rose.

"Just push it on Jia Xing, no, push it on Xu Jiaqing. I have sent someone to inquire about it. When Xu Jiaqing was in the ancestral house, she tried to kill that girl. After being broken by that girl, she was still locked up. After a while, the face was gone. I don't think it's true that they are getting close now, it's just a superficiality, and it's just right to blame Xu Jiaqing." Xu Jialan obviously wasn't planning for a while.

"Jiaqing?" Mrs. Lin glanced at her and nodded slightly, "That's right, she came out to testify last time, and she made it clear that she was against us. If you come to the west, you will share our share."

Xu Jialan sneered: "Yeah, we kill two birds with one stone. If you want me to say, Xu Jiaqing, third uncle, and third aunt are more hateful than that girl, and they let Xu Lianping, who can't help him, continue to touch our Ding'anhou mansion." , It’s really emboldened! If Xu Jiaqing is convicted of framing her cousin because of jealousy, and they raise such a shameless daughter, will they still have the face to come to Xidu?”

Thinking of Zheng's greedy face in his subordinates, Lin was even more displeased: "Just do as you say."

"But mother, can you stop Lan Ying from burning that girl's embroidery? It's very good, but it's a pity for me to see it." Xu Jialan begged.

Lin naturally knew what her daughter was thinking, and said firmly: "No, I know you want to use it for yourself. Even though Mother Zhen is watching, she can't dare to expose you on the spot. But after all, there is something to talk about, let alone Who knows if she has done anything on it."
