The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Chapter 279 Everyone has his own plans (page 12)

The female relatives of Ninghou Mansion warmly welcomed the female guests to the flower hall to rest.

There were so many guests today that the flower hall was quickly filled with seats.

At this time, several distinguished ladies were chatting happily with Mrs. Ning above the hall.

They praised the old lady for her profound blessings, her outstanding grandchildren, and her filial piety, and their words were full of envy.

The old lady was filled with joy after hearing this, her face glowing red, and she enthusiastically ordered her servants to serve up the various delicacies presented by the tribes yesterday for everyone to taste.

There were laughter and laughter in the hall, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

A lady asked at the right time: "Old madam, I wonder if the wedding date of Princess A Zhao and Qi Langjun has been decided? We can prepare gifts in advance."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on the old lady.

Previously, the courtiers asked Emperor Yao to cancel the marriage contract between the two families, which caused a lot of commotion, and all the female guests present heard about it.

Although Emperor Yao did not agree, it made people feel that the marriage was no longer so stable.

Therefore, the dignitaries in Kyoto began to think of marrying Ninghou Mansion.

However, the old lady is not a confused person.

She heard that the lady was deliberately inquiring, and with a smile in her eyes, she said calmly: "I am old and have stopped interfering in the affairs of these children. Let them arrange their own marriages. "

The lady was obviously not willing to accept it. After pondering for a moment, she tried to make up a joke: "Old madam, you are joking. After all, you are not in charge of the Marquis Mansion. Besides, Princess A Zhao's marriage is not trivial. If we could know the wedding date earlier, it would be better." It’s better to prepare a generous gift to show your respect.”

The other ladies all agreed, wanting to know whether the engagement between Ning Ziqing and Su Yanqi was still possible to be terminated.

Although the old lady was a little unhappy with this lady's entanglement, she still maintained a warm smile on her face.

"My sister Qing is of high status now, but she is also filial and sensible. She doesn't want me to worry about these complicated things, she just hopes that I can enjoy my happiness in peace of mind."

"If something good is coming for her, she will definitely miss a glass of wedding wine from you all."

After saying that, she waved her hand to the servants to bring new tea, cleverly changing the subject.

"Every lady has been talking for a long time, and I feel thirsty just thinking about it. Come, have a taste of the rain from Yandang Mountain to moisten your throat."

After hearing what the old lady had just said, everyone had different expressions.

The lady who started to ask had a look on her face. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. She felt fresh and smooth, with a long aftertaste. The fragrance of the tea was refreshing and refreshing.

She tasted a few more sips and couldn't help but praise: "This tea is really extraordinary, it can be called the best."

Another lady took over the conversation: "I heard that this Yandang Mountain Rain is a rare tea from the south. Even if the price is as high as a thousand gold or a tael, it is difficult to find it on the market. It is a blessing to be entertained by the old lady today."

Mother Qin hurriedly said: "This tea is specially given to our old lady by our Princess A Zhao. There is not much left from the caravan this year. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year to drink it."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, and they quietly tasted this rare and good tea.

After a while, Mrs. Wen Yuanbo put down the tea cup and praised Ning Ziqing with a smile: "Princess A Zhao has a commendable filial piety. Not only is she beautiful, but her skillful embroidery skills are also amazing."

"The old lady has such a talented and beautiful granddaughter, we are so envious!"

The old lady was full of pride: "Sister Qing is smart and kind-hearted. That year she went to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and she happened to take in Mrs. Xiang'an who was in trouble. She kindly took her in. In order to repay her kindness, Mrs. Xiang'an taught her her life's embroidery skills. "

"It's a pity that she was seriously ill at the time and could only teach Sister Qing orally. In just three months, she passed away. Fortunately, Sister Qing was very smart and quickly understood the essence of her embroidery method. Later, she even I developed the technique of double-sided embroidery on my own.”

When everyone learned about Mrs. Xiang'an's tragic experience, everyone showed sympathy.

Mrs. Wen Yuanbo sighed: "It's true that a beauty has a bad fate. I think back then Mrs. Xiang'an's embroidery was so famous that it was hard to find any embroidery."

The lady beside her also said with emotion: "Fortunately, Mrs. Xiang'an's embroidery skills have been passed down and have not been lost to the world. Princess Azhao not only inherited her skills, but also created a unique double-sided embroidery, which is now equally famous. , it’s hard to find one.”

As soon as the lady finished speaking, everyone's conversation naturally turned to embroidery.

Now Xiuhefang has become famous for its double-sided embroidery, and has once again become the leader among embroidery shops in Kyoto.

The noble ladies who had made trouble before and almost caused the Embroidery Hefang to close down regretted it.

The embroiderer who ran away wanted to return to Embroidery Hefang, but she was sternly rejected by the shopkeeper.

At this time, Mrs. Wen Yuanbo winked at the ladies behind her.

A lady in purple looked at the old lady eagerly and said, "Old madam, this is a rare opportunity today. We all really want to appreciate Princess A Zhao's double-sided embroidery. Can you open our eyes?"

Others also looked at the old lady with expectant eyes.

The old lady regretfully told them: "Madams, to be honest, all the embroideries that Sister Qing had made were given to envoys from various countries as gifts in return. The ladies in the palace loved them very much when they saw them, and sent a message to Sister Qing. I will embroider some more and send them to the palace. It’s just that His Highness King Qian feels sorry for Sister Qing and doesn’t want her to embroider any more. Now there is not even a single piece of embroidery.”

Speaking of this, the old lady looked troubled.

"Right now, there are only three new embroiderers recruited by Xiuhefang. If you want to see double-sided embroidery again, I'm afraid it will take some time."

Mrs. Wen Yuanbo took the opportunity to suggest: "Old madam, I have an idea. If any of the ladies here are interested in embroidery, why not ask Princess A Zhao to give her some advice? When they learn how to do it, they can also help with embroidery making." Quality, doesn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

The old lady paused slightly, secretly sighing that Mrs. Wen Yuanbo's calculations were really good.

Double-sided embroidery is the signature of Xiuhefang, how can it be easily learned by others?

Newly recruited embroiderers have signed a death contract. If they learn double-sided embroidery, they can only be used by the embroidery workshop. They cannot spread the word or break the contract, otherwise they will face heavy penalties.

The old lady was in a dilemma. She wanted to politely reject Mrs. Wen Yuanbo, but she also didn't want to lose her identity.

The expectant looks from everyone made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Qin's mother came to the rescue in time: "Madams, you may not know something. These embroiderers were personally selected by Princess A Zhao. The double-sided embroidery technique is complex, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and long-term embroidery can cause damage to the eyes and body. "

"Moreover, if you want to learn this skill, you need to have a solid foundation in embroidery skills. The ladies in your house are all very beautiful. It would be bad if you get exhausted while learning embroidery."

The old lady nodded and followed Qin's mother's words: "Sister Qing is very strict in selecting embroiderers this time. When we have enough people to recruit, she can take off these trivial matters and spend more time with me, an old woman. Seeing that she is busy all day, I I really can’t bear to have her suffer.”

The meaning of their words was very clear: Double-sided embroidery is not something ordinary people can learn, and Ning Ziqing has no time to teach outsiders.

Mrs. Wen Yuanbo was rejected in public, and her face was a little embarrassed. She could only force a smile and said: "I didn't think carefully and made such a request without asking clearly. I hope the old lady won't take it to heart."
