Chapter 170 Embroidery Unsealed

On the seventh day of August, Queen Wu's birthday
Since the beginning of autumn, the weather has become much clearer, the sun is no longer scorching hot, and it is no longer so dry and hot that I feel angry in my throat after speaking a few words.This day is even more refreshing in autumn, the sky is blue, with only one or two clouds, it is quiet and bright.

The day before, Dai Mansion sent a golden thimble and golden scissors to Xu Jiatong, wishing her a bright future.It doesn't matter whether the gift is heavy or not, it doesn't matter whether it can be used or not, what matters is Dai Fu's attitude.Based on this point, Xu Xiaozu and Lin did not dare to stop her.

Lin already had a plan in mind, and felt that the overall situation was settled, so he naturally acted generously.Two carriages were prepared early in the morning, one for Xu Jialan and Xu Jiaxing, one for Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaqing.

Xu Jiaxing still kept her eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye, and followed Xu Jialan like a second-class maid.Xu Jiaqing thought that she was about to see many people and things she had never seen before, and she was not planning to win anything, but her face was filled with elation.

The carriage arrived at the place in a while, and the steward and the maid led them into the nearby inn that was vacated only three days ago for a rest.

Xu Jialan glanced at Xu Jiaxing, and said in a cold voice, "I really don't know what you are doing here. Look at your embroidered things in a mess. It's okay to lose face, but don't lose face to Ding'anhoufu."

"My things are no better than yours, Third Sister. I'm here to see the world. Open your eyes. Third Sister, don't be angry." Xu Jiaxin said nonchalantly.

Xu Jialan didn't like to lose her temper in public, Xu Jiaxing lowered her head and pretended not to know, watching Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaxing coming in downstairs, she smiled imperceptibly.

"Fourth sister and fifth sister are here." Xu Jiaxing said softly.

Xu Jialan stopped, turned around and went down a few steps, and said to Xu Jiatong: "Fourth younger sister, go to the aunt in front to get your own embroidery before going up, so as not to go the wrong way."

Xu Jiatong looked at her with a smile, didn't say anything, just saw the flattery between the sisters, and dragged Xu Jiaqing over.

As soon as Xu Jialan appeared, ladies surrounded her, thinking they were acquainted, and casually asked: "That girl just now is also your sister, why haven't I seen her before?"

"I grew up in my old family, and I just picked it up not long ago. She hasn't seen anything in the market, and I didn't get a share with her. If you are with her later, in case she makes a fool of herself, you have to help her." " Xu Jialan said like a good sister.

The young lady was naturally very polite, so she complied and praised her a few times for how well she is a sister.

Xu Jiatong heard it clearly from below, smiled and said to Xu Jiaqing who was beside her: "Did you hear that? You've made a fool of yourself, or you're in trouble, just look for Third Sister and the people around her."

Xu Jiaqing smiled, and said mischievously: "If there is trouble, I will quit immediately and will not go to her."

The two took their respective wooden boxes and went upstairs to have a rest in the tea house.The above was originally an inn, separated one by one, and there was a room for two ladies, not sisters, but also friends.

After a while, just as Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaqing sat down, someone knocked on the door and came in. As soon as the door opened, Ma Qinge came in with a big smile: "Jiatong, I came here to see you win the lottery. Thank me."

"Jiaqing, this is Sister Qinge and Arou." Xu Jiatong had already told her before, and with a few words, she recognized them, and then joked, "They are all nobles in the Western Capital in the future, you have to recognize them." Yes."

Ma Qinge said boldly: "Let's not talk about the distance, I came here to see you show off, and you will embroider a fan for me when you go back."

"You came here to win the prize, but you want me to give you something. There is no such reason." Xu Jiatong joked.

In the future, the concubine of the world, as long as she is a little bit more, won't she be the first one?What's more, how could the Ma family let her make a fool of herself? It must have been arranged.

Wang Rou covered her mouth with a smile and said, "She, she really came to see you this time, and she really didn't care about her own things at all. You see, she just took out the embroidery and found that the tip of her shoe was dirty, so she took it away I picked it up and wiped it, and rubbed it twice with my hands, and it almost turned into a rag."

It was only then that Xu Jiatong noticed that Ma Qinge was casually holding the "rag" in one hand behind her back, she was taken aback for a moment, and quickly took it over to have a look.

"Wipe it with a soft cloth, and then get the maid to iron it in time, why don't you let them take it out?" Xu Jiatong went straight out of the room and handed it to Ma Qinge's maid in the porch.

Ma Qinge smirked there, and said indifferently: "You said that I can win the first place, and even if I am so dirty, I will be in the top three. Come and see yours."

"Yes, quick, quick, take a look." Xu Jiaqing was the most anxious among them. She still had doubts about what happened that night, and she could only rest assured after seeing it with her own eyes.

Xu Jiatong smiled, and she marked the seal of the wooden box. She knew that Zhao Qiyun was really capable, and replaced the embroidery smoothly.

As soon as the wooden box was opened, a fresh fragrance of lotus came over. Xu Jiatong slowly opened the sheet and slowly flattened the folded embroidery.

From left to right, first there are peonies and peonies on the ground, and birds and magpies on the branches of smoked willows may stop or fly.On the tree next to the embroidered house next to it, there is a bird's nest. The branches built by the bird's nest are messy but distinct. Inside, a mother bird is lowering her head to feed grains into the tender mouth of the chick.

The house next to it is very old, but it has an ancient style. The gate is dilapidated, and some greenery can be seen faintly in the courtyard. Through the open courtyard door, there is a young girl who is embroidering in the empty courtyard.

The embroidery frame, the smooth brocade, had something embroidered on it, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a shrunken version of the embroidery.Looking closely, it turns out that every part of the embroidery is embroidered in it, even the girl herself has a shadow embroidered on it.

The young girl was dressed in light yellow clothes, she was a bit lively, yet calm and composed.Every single strand of hair is clearly visible, exquisite and unusual.The wind blew her drooping temple hair, and she had delicate features, showing her strength of character, and possessed the charm of a Jiangnan woman.

Xu Jiaqing's eyes first fell on the peony flower in the corner, which was very similar to the corner she saw that day. She was relieved at first, but what she saw later made her speechless for a long time.

Ma Qinge and Wang Rou were also in a daze. Needless to say, the skill in the embroidery painting was so rare, the artistic conception was rare.They never expected that Xu Jiatong's embroidery skills have reached such a level.

"This is Kunshan. This is the place where the fourth sister lived. Is that the ancestral house over there? The roof over there..." Xu Jiaqing became incoherent.
