Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 171
"Yes, this is the house I lived in since I was a child. The exposed roof over there is the ancestral house. After passing this alley, the street over there is Jinxiufang. What flowers and birds, what landscapes, what I am most familiar with is here .” Xu Jiatong pointed them out one by one.

Ma Qinge smacked her lips: "It's not justified if you don't embroider a fan for me. It's still cheaper for you. I should have an embroidered screen."

"Okay, okay, whoever you want to embroider can do it in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to repay the debt? Ah Rou and Jiaqing also have a share. Fans and embroidery handkerchiefs are up to you." Xu Jiatong smiled. She has never been stingy, and she likes embroidery very much. .

The three of them laughed for a while, and the outside was already lively. After a while, two women dressed as court ladies came to invite Ma Qinge and Wang Rou, and naturally they also called Xu Jiatong and sisters along the way.

Many women came out from the resting inns on both sides, about the same age, occasionally a few older ones, holding the folded embroidery on silver plates, standing in six rows according to the instructions of the maids and servants.

The ones in the first row are naturally the ones with the highest status, and Ma Qinge is naturally included, but Wang Rou is also among them.

Xu Jiatong was stunned for a moment, Wang Rou's father was Wang Qing, Shangshu of the Household Department, so logically speaking, he should stand in the front row.But there were no more people in the front row than in the back, there were only three of them. Ma Qinge was already the chosen concubine. It was no secret that Lu Ziran and Zhao Yuanpu, Marquis of Chengye, were about to make an engagement, so what about Wang Rou?

I remembered that Mrs. Yang seemed to have said that day that Wang Rou's marriage was about to be settled, but she didn't say who it was.Being so secretive, plus Ma Qinge and Lu Ziran who are beside her at the moment, I am afraid they are some princes and generals.

Xu Jiatong smiled and looked around.The people in the back are all seated in the first row according to the registration, Xu Jialan was the first to enter the registration, and is in the third row.Although she was interviewed by the palace, she was included in the list later, in the fifth row, and Xu Jiaqing was even later, in the last row.

At this time, on the high platform in the distance, there were gradually more people, with wide robes and wide sleeves, fluttering in the wind, and gorgeous.And Queen Wu's Luanjia has also arrived, and those who had already been seated on it stood up one after another. It is easy to salute and greet, while the ladies and maids are more neat. life.

When the people above gradually quieted down, the elderly female officer came forward and reached the edge of the high platform.Xu Jiatong looked up against the sun, the age of this person was similar to that of Qi Shanggong mentioned by Duan, but he didn't know if it was this person.

"The queen's birthday is congratulated with embroidery to show Datong's emphasis on sericulture and embroidery. All the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau, Shanggong Qi's leader, and all the girls who have passed the primary election congratulate the queen. The phoenix journey is thousands of miles, beautiful embroidery For the chapter, the silk and cotton are endless, and we are in great harmony, and the queen and empress will live forever."

Qi Shanggong turned around and saluted Queen Wu who was sitting high on the stage.All the people on the high platform also got up and saluted in unison, and the candidates in the audience and the onlookers were also ordered to bow down in unison before, and for a while there was only the sound of congratulatory speeches from the mountains.

"The journey of the phoenix is ​​thousands of miles, the splendid embroidery is the chapter, the silk and cotton are endless, and we are in great harmony, and the queen and empress will live forever."

Xu Jiatong bowed down with all the people, "The phoenix travels thousands of miles, the brocade is the chapter, the silk and cotton are endless, and I am prosperous in Datong." The silk trade between Datong and the Central Plains Dynasty has flourished over the years, making Datong, which was originally stable and suitable for farming, more prosperous and weaving. The embroidery was even sent to Dashi and other places through Haichuan.

As a senior student of Jinxiufang, Xu Jiatong was very proud of all of this. At this moment, she suddenly forgot the purpose of coming here, and instead felt that her whole body was full of strength.She and the people around her have devoted a lot of effort to the embroidery and brocade in their hands. Whether it is to stand out or for other purposes, every stitch will bring out the old and bring forth the new, so that weaving and embroidery can go a step further in Datong.

"The empress has a decree, and everyone will live in peace." Qi Shanggong respectfully blessed Queen Wu, then turned around and said loudly, "The embroidery of all the girls was sealed by Jing Zhaoyin three days ago. Yes, since the Ministry of Etiquette made the list, there has been no criticism. According to the original rules, the old man is not talented, and he was supposed to lead the few incompetent people around him to look at them. Embroidery, please come up. But today, the queen has a purpose, all the girls have worked hard to bring forth new ones for Datong weaving embroidery, and I will give each of you a special gift of 'climbing a tall building'." Qi Shanggong was full of energy, and when he raised his hand, there was already a piece of paper below. I feel the voice of Queen Wu's well-intentioned efforts.

Xu Jiatong looked around, and the people on the left and right also looked at each other, and couldn't help but jump. "Climbing the tall building" is the first hurdle of the palace gate game. In previous years, it was only the female officials who were inspected under the high platform, and the selected ones were invited to go up.In fact, two-thirds of the people can pass this round, but after all, there is still [-]% who have no chance.

Now everyone can get on the high stage, which is undoubtedly a good news for those who are less skilled and have bad luck and family background.

Xu Jialan looked back at Xu Jiatong, with a sneer, and a bit of pride: "Fourth sister, fifth sister, you can also 'climb tall buildings'."

The surrounding area was very lively at the moment, and no one noticed her movement.Xu Jiatong bowed to her and smiled politely.

She knew why Xu Jialan was so sure. She has been weaving embroidery for many years, so it goes without saying that she has good eyesight. She has been in Jinxiufang for many years, and she is naturally very familiar with the smell of Yutianxiang in Jinxiufang.It's not that she is bragging, there are so many people around, each of them has an embroidery painting in their hands, and she knows how much Yutianxiang from Jinxiufang is in it, she can tell when she smells it.

There are a total of two of these people who have this Yu Tianxiang in their possessions, one is in the row behind her, and the other is Xu Jialan!
Jade Heaven Fragrance is a product of Jinxiu Workshop, and it will not be given to others. Even the nobles in the palace can only smell this fragrance from the finished embroidery.The person behind her probably bought embroidery from Jinxiufang to make up for it, and Xu Jialan... must have taken the one that was exchanged for her.

Xu Jialan must have thought that with her picture of flowers and birds, she could win the game. Besides, Xu Jialan was ranked in the front and would go up first, while at that time she, Xu Jiatong, was still waiting on the high steps on the side, only hearing There were compliments on the high platform, and she couldn't see what kind of embroidery Xu Jialan was holding in her hand, so she couldn't make trouble.

And it won't be long, after she takes out the tacky thing that Xu Jialan brought in, she will be given silver and sent off the high stage soon, leaving only Xu Jialan in the limelight.

Someone in Lin's natal family in the palace must have known about this special arrangement this year, Xu Jiatong didn't know about it at all, but who would have expected that Dai Yuanguan, who has never cared much about her affairs, would personally order Zhao Qiyun to help her arrange it? Do you know everything about the changes?

And the changes in the next two rounds... Xu Jiatong smiled slightly, Xu Jialan would not know, this time it was her turn to deal with him in her own way.
