Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 25 Fearless
Dai Yuanguan casually pointed at the pier in front of him, and said calmly, "Sit."

There is a faint power between words and deeds, which does not allow the slightest rebuttal and doubt.Feeling hopeless, Xu Jiatong moved his legs two steps to the side without stopping, and sat down as soon as he bent.

Looking at Dai Yuanguan at the same level for the first time, Xu Jiatong slightly lowered his chin, trying not to meet his eyes, lest he would be defeated in a short fight.

"Before the girls of the Xu family leave home, they have to watch the night at the Foyuan Pavilion behind the ancestral hall. Because my fifth sister is involved in this matter, it will take some time to prepare... I am afraid that I will not be able to arrive in the Western Capital until next month. Please take care of the matter of Jinxiufang, Mr. Dai." Xu Jiatong smiled apologetically.

Dai Yuanguan raised his hand to prevent her from continuing, and changed the subject: "Kunshan is a small place, but it has outstanding people. There are so many ladies in the west who want to worship under the Duan family of Jinxiufang, but you have never even been out of Kunshan. , you got such a good fate, don't you think your luck is very good?"

He obviously had something in his words, and there was a sense of sarcasm in his tone, but Xu Jiatong only felt that his words were yin and yang.She knew that she shouldn't offend Dai Yuanguan, but this feeling was too uncomfortable, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

So, Xu Jiatong's eyes no longer dodged, she looked at him squarely, and there seemed to be flames beating in her black eyes: "Master Dai should have already guessed that the reason why I was able to form this relationship with Jinxiufang was the reason why I was able to leave Kunshan , the day I left my private house, and even my ability to live to this day is not luck. If I hide these things from someone like Master Dai, it would be too disrespectful..."

Dai Yuanguan's eyes were slightly closed, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you think that you are the only one who has a difficult life in this world? You are the only one who has gone through untold hardships?"

"In front of Master Dai, I naturally dare not trust him. What's more, it is much more difficult for Master Dai to achieve what he is today, not to mention compared with me, even compared with the people in the world. I have never met Master Dai for the first time. , I understood this truth. Because of this, I always thought that Master Dai would understand me better than anyone else." Xu Jiatong said boldly.

She had no enmity with Dai Yuanguan but was targeted by him in this way. If her thoughts were not controlled by reason, she would have thought that Dai Yuanguan was so angry with this unbelievable disease that his temperament was different from ordinary people.

When she was talking, Dai Yuanguan kept looking at her, as if watching something funny: "Then tell me why it's not easy for you?"

Dai Yuanguan leaned his right elbow against the chair, playing with the half-damaged jade ring in his palm, and suddenly became very curious about this little thing in front of him from the past ten years.I don't know what she was doing when he was walking on thin ice and hovering on the edge of life and death several times.

Her gaze was firm, and the anger in her heart seemed to be really burning, like two small flames swaying.It made her very lively, like a bright pearl in the dark, emitting soft light but dazzling.

Presumably there is no one who can talk to him on weekdays, and he is just idle and bored and wants to amuse himself with her affairs.Although he spoke in a strange way, he didn't look like a broken-mouthed person.

Xu Jiatong originally wanted to give him a few words and stab him, but now he suddenly wanted to talk to him.However, she thought about it again, wouldn't she just bow to him?
As soon as he thought about it, Xu Jiatong's eyebrows twitched, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and a small person like her has nothing to lose.If she is lucky enough to get the guidance of such a big man, she still has earned it.

"I heard from Bishui's mother that I was sent back to my ancestral house when I was still a baby. I was supposed to be raised in the third aunt's house. But the third aunt insisted that I was the broom star who killed my mother, crying They made a fuss about sending me to the nunnery. After weighing things up, my grandfather thought that my father had raised me under my grandmother's knees when I was young, so he sent me to my grandmother. At that time, my grandmother was also in a difficult situation. If I was a boy, I would Forget it, she was born as a daughter, so I can't help her at all."

Xu Jiatong talked intermittently about the days she had repeated day after day in her private house over the years. In her world, there was only the stern Cao family, the loom that only made that monotonous sound, and only brocade and embroidery thread.When I am free, I can't enjoy the fun of my daughter in the boudoir, so I can only copy posts, read books, and draw pictures.

"Anything related to weaving, grandma will be extremely strict. But if she can't do what she asks, she won't punish. Because those things have to be exchanged for money and food outside, if they are not done well, The shopkeeper will keep the price very low, and we will be hungry and cold. When the people sent by the ancestral house make things difficult for us, we will have no money to take care of it." Xu Jiatong smiled self-deprecatingly.

Looking back now, maybe it was because she wanted to forget too much, those things had become blurred, but she would never forget the coldness and pain.

Perhaps he hadn't noticed that Dai Yuanguan's expression was blank at the moment, and the hatred hidden in his eyes was also dispelled by this blankness.

Compared with what he has experienced, these tribulations are nothing compared to what he has experienced, but he has also experienced life and death, and experienced the indifference of not being recognized as an existence.A dark and damp house gradually appeared in front of his eyes. In the cold winter, a little girl rubbed her little hands that were red from the cold, and then began to work on the loom again.

He seemed to see her huddled in the corner, drinking the rainwater leaking from the corner of the house, while listening to the movement outside, worried that the people outside would suddenly get tired of playing the game of cat and mouse one day, suddenly rushed Come in and end her and Cao's lives with a rope, a jar of water or something else.

"So you thought of entering Jinxiufang, thinking of getting the protection of the Duan family?" Dai Yuanguan changed his mind, and continued to press on step by step, with deep and unpredictable eyes.

Xu Jiatong smiled slightly: "I also wanted to be a female crown in the past and get the protection of the Taoist temple, but my grandmother didn't allow it. Once I was upset, and saw a person from Jinxiu Workshop who only sold a square silk handkerchief. The shopkeeper is very polite. Youjia, I gave her a lot of money, more than what I got for weaving four bolts of brocade. At that time, I decided that I must enter the brocade workshop, and I must learn from the most famous Master Duan there."

"Later, I participated in Jinxiu Fang's three-year apprenticeship, and I was selected, but my master was not her. At that time, Master Duan still needed an apprentice, and someone recommended a girl from the Lu family to her. Hurry up, I was weaving a white Confucian skirt at that time, and the last step was to embroider plum blossoms on the hem. In order to make the plum blossoms bright and not bewitching, I wanted a special red color, so I used my The blood from her fingertips was mixed with cinnabar, and then the thread was dyed with that color." Xu Jiatong looked up at her.

Her eyes were peaceful at the moment, as if it wasn't her who was bleeding, as if she had never been in such pain before.

"I tried many ratios that night, but I couldn't get the color I wanted. So I kept adjusting, adjusting, and adjusting. If there was no cinnabar, I would grind it. If there was no blood, I would cut my fingertips again. Three When it was time to make it, I finally made it. At that time, I felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and it was difficult for me to sit still, but I persisted until I embroidered the plum blossoms and put the skirt in front of her with my own hands."

Xu Jiatong laughed like a naughty child, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Master Dai, do you know how old I was that year?"

Dai Yuanguan's eyes finally cleared up. Hearing the torment she had suffered, the expected joy did not appear at all.

"I was just eight years old at that time, Master Dai, if I was like this back then, why should I be afraid today." Xu Jiatong said word by word.
