Chapter 164

"Probably not? She didn't know that the embroidery would be replaced. She was supposed to take it. She won't spoil her own affairs. Just promise me, if I don't take it to the palace gate to gamble, I will Keep it in the box first, and when she gets married to the Yang family, I'll find a place to hang it up." Xu Jialan begged.

Lin sighed with a smile, and said helplessly: "Then you put it away, and don't take it out until she leaves Ding'anhou's mansion."

Xu Jialan saw that the overall situation of the matter had been settled, so she didn't intend to argue too much with Xu Jiatong on the face.In fact, she has always acted calmly in the past, and she has a strategy when encountering difficulties.It's just that suddenly a younger sister who snatched her title as a daughter-in-law came out and smashed her pride all the time into the dust.

Knowing what she was thinking, Mrs. Lin followed the temptation carefully, and finally brought her back to the old road.This plan, together with Xu Jiaxing's repeated fights, has already brought her back to the old feeling.

Xu Jialan has always been good at putting on airs and whitewashing her appearance, but at this time, she pretended to be magnanimous, and pretended to be friendly between the sisters, which was naturally easy to do.

"Fourth sister, mother has just heard the housekeeper pay the bill, and she is a little tired, please forgive me today." Xu Jialan smiled kindly, as if there was no estrangement between the two before, "The people in the yamen have come to seal the embroidery Well, speaking of it, I, the elder sister, neglected you. I haven’t checked you for anything these days. How is your embroidery? I’m just busy with my own embroidery. Do you blame me? "

Xu Jiatong pursed his lips and smiled: "There is no shortage of things. If the house doesn't have any, I'll just get them from Master Dai's workshop. Embroidery requires dedication. When you come, I still want to entertain you. Instead, I am distracted." I don't know what kind of pattern the third sister's embroidery is?"

"It's just ordinary flowers and birds. I can't compare to you. I'm clumsy. My eyes are red after staying up for the past few nights." After Xu Jialan finished speaking, her heart skipped a beat.

Xu Jialan's embroidery is a picture of a spring outing on a boat, the lake is shimmering, and the willows are swaying, not flowers and birds.As for Xu Jiatong's painting of flowers and birds, she even blurted out that what she embroiders is also a painting of flowers and birds.

At this moment, Xu Jiatong was walking side by side with her, and they were very close. She leaned closer and whispered, "Third sister has a lot of contacts, why don't you ask the masters in Prince Xiang's residence? Although they are not from the palace, they can get close, why bother?" Working so hard on yourself? If I had such a good life as you, I would never let myself get red eyes."

Xu Jialan smiled perfunctorily: "It is necessary to ask for advice, but if this kind of thing is done by someone else, isn't it deceitful? You can't talk nonsense."

"I made a mistake, but you are right. No matter how good the techniques of the embroiderer and the masters are, I am afraid they will bring craftsmanship and not be agile enough. Even if there is no craftsmanship at all, the needlework and style are too sharp. It is also easy to be seen through." Xu Jiatong seemed to be discussing with her, but he was already guiding her thoughts.

Xu Jiatong didn't believe that the so-called painting of flowers and birds was completely made by Xu Jialan. Xu Jialan would send someone to watch her, and she could also ask Dai Fu's eyeliner to watch Xu Jialan.

In the past few days, Xu Jialan was clearly weaving embroidery in her own room, but in fact she had gone out many times behind Xu Xiaozu and Lin's back. As soon as she left the mansion, she got into the carriage and went to Xiang Wang's mansion. How could she have so much time to weave embroidery by herself?What's more, Xu Jiaxing had hinted so much to Xu Jiaxing before, and Xu Jiaxing must have said something to her selectively. She naturally knew the more brilliant way to embroider with the master, so how could she know it and not use it?
Xu Jialan listened quietly, and suddenly asked: "You are a teacher in Jinxiufang, so according to this, your things are also ingenious?"

"You don't understand now. Others tell us that it is work, not our own embroidery. If we work hard, have talent and foundation, we can get rid of craftsmanship. But those embroiderers and masters It's different, you are the master and they are servants, no matter how you order them, embroidery is just a job in their eyes, no matter how much they value it, it won't change much." Xu Jiatong explained.

Xu Jialan frowned unnaturally, seeing that it was almost time, she said: "The people in the yamen must have arrived, so I won't drag you into talking."

Xu Jiatong said his goodbyes, thinking of the moment Xu Jialan frowned, he smiled knowingly.After all, the cat couldn't bear the smell of the fish and was about to stretch out its sharp claws.

Back in the painting garden, I thought that the people in the yamen had already left, so it should be quiet.Especially since Xu Jiaxing's goal has been achieved, she probably won't come again, she can finally be quiet for two days.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaqing's eyes were red at this moment, staring at Bi Shui who was frightened but persistent, her originally soft and beautiful eyes were now full of anger.

"What's the matter? Stop making trouble, why did Bishui piss you off? Say it out and I'll vent your anger on you. Look at your red eyes. If they are swollen, you won't be pretty when you're on a high platform." Xu Jiatong smiled Smoothing things over, when he turned around, he saw Bi Shui winking at her.

Xu Jiaqing pointed at Bishui and said, "Fourth Sister, can you trust Bishui?"

"Of course I can trust her. She has been with me since she was a child." Xu Jiatong said.

"I don't believe her." Xu Jiaqing put down her hand and said angrily, "Just now the maid sent by the yamen came to seal up your embroidery, and your flower and bird painting was covered with thatch, she didn't even look at it, so she asked the servant to roll it up I put it in a wooden box. At that time mine was already sealed, so I came over to have a look, and when I opened the door, a gust of wind came in, and a corner of the thatch was lifted, and there was no picture of your flowers and birds inside."

Without waiting for Bi Shui to answer, Xu Jiatong categorically denied: "How is this possible? Could it be that you misread it? After all, it was just blowing open a corner, and the colors inside were so complicated, did you miss it for a while?"

In order to prevent the embroidery from getting dusty and frayed, in the past, after weaving and embroidery, the sheet would be covered, and the front and back of the embroidery would be covered.Before sealing it up, Xu Jiatong will put on a thin silk thatch, which makes it look luxurious and solemn, and the silk surface is fine, so that the embroidery will not be worn out due to the bumps in the transportation after being folded.

This is why some people can try to mislead the real thing, because it is covered with thatch, so it is impossible to see what is inside.Of course, it would be checked again in normal times, but Xu Jiatong was "sent away", and Bi Shui deliberately didn't check, so the matter naturally came to an end.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaqing, who has always been careless, discovered the clues, but Xu Jiatong was very happy in her heart. Xu Jiaqing was so persistent because she cared about the sisterhood between them, and she really felt in her heart that at least Now the two of them are closely related.

"Impossible. Although I haven't looked at your embroidery carefully in the past two days, I have seen it several times before. You have already embroidered the corner at that position. I know it, and I will never be wrong. Bi Shui , Tell me, have you been bought by someone to deliberately replace the fourth sister's embroidery?" Xu Jiaqing insisted.
