Chapter 89
When I received such a response just after reaching an agreement with Mrs. Zheng, Xu Jiatong smiled slightly: "Aunt Zhen, after returning to the Western Capital, there will still be many opportunities to ask her for advice. I don't know if there will be any more in the future with Ms. Ma and Ms. Wang. If you get along with each other by chance, you will treat me as young and lively, so just let me go."

Aunt Zhen didn't speak, Zheng said: "Our fourth mother is just good-tempered, if I don't care what you say. Fourth mother, can Jiaqing go there too?"

"Did Third Aunt forget what happened that day so quickly? Miss Ma is the appointed concubine, whoever goes and whoever doesn't, I have to listen to her." Xu Jiatong smiled and ignored them, with a bit of arrogance He hurriedly walked towards Ma Qinge's carriage.

Xu Jiatong strode over, helped the maid's hand to get into the carriage, and said with a smile, "Sister Qin Ge, Ah Rou, today I know what it means to be a fox pretending to be a tiger."

"Who is the tiger and who is the fox?" Ma Qinge laughed and pinched Xu Jiatong's face.

Wang Rou smiled and said, "We all remember the way the Empress Dowager Shizi jumped up and pinched people's faces. Tell others about it later. Don't say we are talking nonsense."

"You dare, you dare." Ma Qinge turned to torment Wang Rou again, and the three finally laughed together.

"I haven't traveled far yet, when can we get to the Western Capital?" Xu Jiatong asked, this was the first time she had left Kunshan.

"This is not a 'far door'. If there is no flood on the small road, we can only take the official road, and we will arrive in the evening. If we take the official road now, we can catch up and go back for lunch tomorrow." Ma Qinge said with a smile.

Xu Jiatong looked at Ma Qinge and Wang Rou's extraordinarily intimate appearance, and then thought about Ma Qinge's words, and heaved a long sigh in his heart. For 16 years, she has been detained in this square inch, and she didn't know that she was only a day away from the prosperity, and she didn't know how big the gap between her and them was.

But Xu Jiatong didn't feel that Ma Qinge was mocking her. Ma Qinge's scruples in everything he did was natural. He was brought up as a heavenly girl since he was a child, and it was already natural.

"Sister Qin Ge, tell me about what happened in Xidu." Xu Jiatong said.

Ma Qinge said: "Actually, I spent more time in my father's barracks than in Xidu, and I didn't play much. I just know that there are a lot of people there, rich and beautiful food, beautiful clothes, and many antique calligraphy and paintings. When you go out for a stroll, you will meet those high-ranking officials and dignitaries. In short, staying for a few more days will be boring, and I didn’t joke with you at all. Let me tell you, it’s even more fun in the palace. It’s just a matter of politeness, what you say and do is as if it’s been planned in advance.”

"There are great rules in the palace. Sister Qin Ge still tells us the rules. If I offend the nobles, I'm afraid..." Wang Rou said timidly.

Ma Qinge said with a smile: "When you return to the mansion, someone will teach you these things, let's stop talking about these things. If you are worried, I will write a playbook for you later, just follow it, even if there are people Talk to you, you can come to me."

Ma Qinge was liked by Zhao Yu and Queen Wu when she was young, and she was also a girl. Those princes and county owners didn't bother with her either.Over time, she took it for granted that those people treated others the same as they treated her.

Xu Jiatong and Wang Rou looked at each other and smiled, and didn't ask any more questions.But Wang Rou suddenly thought of something and kept looking at Xu Jiatong.

"I heard from my mother that the queen's birthday is approaching. Before becoming the queen, the queen would personally intervene in the affairs of the six bureaus. After becoming a queen, the king persuaded Nongsang, and this weaving just involved Nongsang. The queen Although he is entangled in the chores of the harem, he takes care of Shanggong Bureau and Shangfu Bureau a lot in his free time. Every year on his birthday, he will set up a gambling game at the west gate of the palace. The gambling is not money, but the attainments in weaving." Wang said. Rou said while trying to recall some details.

Xu Jiatong's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "What kind of bet is it?"

"Of course there is a birthday gift, but it has to be completed within three hours. The female officials will send everyone the same materials to ensure fairness. After the end, the Shang Palace will judge the skills and present the birthday gift to the queen. The queen's favorite birthday gift, and the skills are among the top three. Not only can you get rewards, but you can also attend the queen's birthday banquet, and those who are lucky enough can be brought into the palace as female officials, and they are exempted from the female officer exam." Wang Rouyue The more excited he was, he looked eager to try.

Ma Qinge said: "Ah Rou, you are going to join in the fun again. Jia Tong, you don't know that whenever there is a chance for a competition, A Rou will go. Every time I come back with a feather, if others would have refused to go, But she has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and the more frustrated she is, the more courageous she is. I think this game is suitable for you, as soon as you go, let her accompany you on the list. Ah Rou, if you lose this time, do you still want to treat me?"

"Losing is also a kind of fun. Have you ever lost? Have you ever lost? How do you know the fun of losing if you haven't lost before?" Wang Rou pouted unconvinced.

"It's just for fun, don't take it seriously. Thank you, Ah Rou, for telling me this. I will definitely go. There are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are people beyond the people. I will learn a lot then." Xu Jiatong laughed.

Xu Jiatong still attaches great importance to victory and defeat in her heart, after all, she needs a grand victory.Her natal family is unreliable, and Dai Yuanguan is also unreliable. The only one who can be relied on is herself.Only when her talent is not hidden but revealed, can she begin to have her own power.At that time, neither Lin nor Xu Jialan will be her obstacle.

"That's right, I'm just here to learn more." Wang Rou held Xu Jiatong's hand affectionately, and looked at Ma Qinge with a rare provocation, "For our Changsheng General, only unmarried daughters can enter the game, such a grand event before marriage If you don’t participate once, you will regret it for life, are you sure you don’t want to go?”

"Me? I have nothing to regret. If I don't go, I won't go." Ma Qinge shook her head hastily.

Needle and thread?It would be easier for her to just cut the case in half with a knife.

Xu Jiatong couldn't help but also came to make fun of it: "Ah Rou and I will go, no matter what the result is, we will have a ranking. If Sister Qin Ge doesn't go, even if she doesn't even have a ranking, won't she be compared to us? General Chang Sheng It’s a pity to lose your reputation.”

"You... well, well, I'll go and I will go. You are all finely crafted, and I am a rough one. Maybe it's because I am unique and I can get a first name. Or, if they look at me It's okay for my father to give me a name, and then I will set up an incense table at the door of my house and offer the rewards on it." Ma Qinge laughed out loud as he spoke.

Xu Jiatong also let go, and said with a smile: "I'm asking someone to write a big character, and write 'Datong Weaving Needle Head Name', so that everyone passing by can look up."

"You guys are laughing at me, I won't tell you, I won't tell you..." Ma Qinge couldn't make trouble with them, and shied away with a blushing face.

The three of them laughed and chattered all the way, and they became a lot closer to each other, especially Ma Qinge and Xu Jiatong.Ma Qinge felt that Xu Jiatong was cautious, thoughtful and talented. Originally, he only thought that it was fate to meet a fellow traveler passing through Kunshan, and he would be able to talk to each other after more contacts. Now he really wanted to make friends.

But Xu Jiatong felt that Ma Qinge was a straightforward person who didn't care about small things, and originally only wanted to cling to her, but now she felt that it would be a great blessing to have such a close friend.

"Girl, the inn is here."

Unexpectedly, the sky was over, and when it was time to hit the tip, the three of them just talked and laughed on the road. They just had some snacks at noon, and they were really hungry at the moment.

"Hey, why isn't it the inn when you came here?" Ma Qinge frowned.
