The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

When Ning Ziqing stepped into the flower hall, the female relatives stood up and saluted her respectfully.

Qin's mother had already described in detail what happened before on the road.

However, Ning Ziqing's face remained calm after hearing this.

Qin's mother finally let go of her worries. Originally, she was worried that Ning Ziqing would be displeased because of the old lady's unauthorized decision-making.

Ning Ziqing signaled everyone to excuse themselves, walked quickly to the main seat in the hall, and helped the old lady sit down.

The old lady took her hand with concern and said: "Sister Qing, my grandma invited you over now. Isn't it disturbing you? You have been very busy these two days with your brother's marriage. If you are tired, just Go and have a rest first, your father and mother are in the house, there won’t be any chaos."

Ning Ziqing sat next to her and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm not tired. I just met the relatives in Cangzhou and talked more about trade, so I'm a little late."

After saying that, she turned to everyone and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time and kept you waiting for a long time."

Mrs. Wen Yuanbo waved her hands quickly.

"No, no, we are the ones disturbing Princess A Zhao."

Everyone followed suit and said a lot of compliments to Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing listened quietly, nodding in response from time to time.

When they all talked about the same thing, Ning Ziqing picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then turned to the main topic.

"I heard that some of you are interested in double-sided embroidery and want me to teach you?"

The ladies and ladies looked at each other, unsure of what Ning Ziqing's attitude was, and none of them dared to reply easily.

Seeing this, the old lady said on behalf of everyone: "The ladies from all the prefectures are very interested in double-sided embroidery. I want you to see if they can learn it."

Ning Ziqing put down the tea cup and said frankly.

"It's not that I deliberately hide my secrets, it's just that double-sided embroidery consumes too much energy. Apart from teaching at Embroidery Hefang, I really can't spare any extra time."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wen Yuanbo was shocked, fearing that her previous proposal would offend Ning Ziqing.

She hurriedly stood up and apologized: "Princess A-Zhao, I didn't consider it well and took the liberty to make this suggestion to the old lady. I hope Princess A-Zhao won't be blamed."

Ning Ziqing didn't mind: "Madam also has good intentions. Since someone wants to learn, I naturally welcome it."

"However, we have to follow the rules. I will personally conduct the assessment. Only those who pass can sign a contract with Embroidery Hefang and learn double-sided embroidery. After completing the course, you can only embroider for Embroidery Hefang, and you are not allowed to teach others privately. Or break the contract.”

"If you can accept this condition, I will hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet another day and invite the ladies from all over the house to come together and discuss embroidery together. What do you think?"

Hearing what Ning Ziqing said, the ladies were both surprised and hesitant.

They want to learn double-sided embroidery, but they don't want to become embroiderers in the embroidery field.

After all, they are all rich ladies from well-known families, how can they show up easily.

When Ning Ziqing saw their reaction, it was quite expected.

She originally did not want these official ladies to set foot in the embroidery workshop, but it was only because of the old lady's favor that she made this decision.

There was silence in the hall for a while until the servants informed the Duke of Qi and his wife, along with the head of Jiarou County and his eldest daughter-in-law, came to see Ning Ziqing.

After hearing this, Ning Ziqing looked pale. She leaned against the table, playing with the tea lid leisurely, gently skimming off the foam, and savored the rain in the Yandang Mountains, waiting for their arrival.

After a while, Mrs. Song and Ning Zilan accompanied Mrs. Qi Guogong and others into the flower hall.

"I've met Princess A Zhao."

After several people finished their salutes, Ning Ziqing invited them to take a seat and ordered his servants to serve them refreshments.

After the Duke of Qi's wife exchanged greetings with the old lady, she turned to chat with the other ladies about their daily life.

At this time, someone quietly approached the Lord of Jiarou County and whispered a few words in her ear.

After the man left, the Lord of Jiarou County looked at Ning Ziqing with a somewhat malicious smile.

"Princess Azhao, we are a little late, what good things have we missed?"

Ning Ziqing said calmly: "It's nothing, but some ladies are interested in double-sided embroidery, and I was talking to them about it."

Ning Zilan pretended to be surprised and interjected: "Isn't it true that Third Sister's double-sided embroidery is not spread out? How could you be so generous today?"

Ning Ziqing glanced at her coldly and said calmly: "I did say not to spread it to outsiders, but if you can enter Xiuhefang, you can naturally learn it."

The Lord of Jiarou County raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"You ladies are very open-minded. As ladies from a famous family, you are willing to be an embroiderer. Is it because the family is short of money and you have to earn money to support your family?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt stinging.

Originally, the wife did not want her daughter to enter Xiuhefang, but now she felt even more uncomfortable, and even doubted Ning Ziqing's previous intentions.

They secretly guessed that Ning Ziqing probably wanted the Xiuhefang family to dominate, so he did not want to spread the skills of double-sided embroidery to others, so he found this reason to deal with them.

With the Jiarou County Lord's instigation of discord, the ladies all retreated.

Ning Zi stared at the tea soup with downcast eyes, not even bothering to look at the Lord of Jiarou County: "Is it so surprising that a woman can make money with her own hands because she has a skill?"

The Lord of Jiarou County pursed his lips and smiled, and continued to fan the flames.

"Princess A Zhao now has a distinguished status and is protected by His Royal Highness King Qian and Mrs. Fu. Naturally, she can enjoy all the glory and wealth without having to work hard. The ladies from all the houses are not short of food and clothing, so why bother to endure that hardship again."

She changed the subject and added, "A woman should obey her parents' orders and follow her husband's wishes after marriage. Why should she learn how to do business to support herself?"

Mrs. Qi Guogong heard the implication of Jiarou County Lord's words and agreed.

"Our dynasty has strict etiquette and has never encouraged women to engage in business. All of you here are from aristocratic families, so don't lose big because of small things, or damage the family's face."

After hearing the key points pointed out by Mrs. Qi Guogong, someone immediately responded: "What Mrs. Qi Guogong said is absolutely true. We appreciate Princess A Zhao's kindness. Double-sided embroidery is the unique skill of Embroidery Hefang, so it is reasonable for the princess not to spread it to others. .”

"Yes, my sister Qiao is not good at embroidery. She can't learn double-sided embroidery even if she thinks about it, so she doesn't dare to bother Princess A Zhao for guidance."

……

The ladies of each house expressed their positions one after another and unanimously declined Ning Ziqing's chrysanthemum appreciation feast.

Ning Zilan and Lord Jiarou looked at each other and smiled proudly.

Today not only did Ning Ziqing lose her face, but it also put her in a dilemma.

So what if she is a princess? If you offend these powerful ladies, no matter how high your status is, you will inevitably become the laughing stock of Kyoto.

Everyone was whispering, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.

When the old lady saw that the Lord of Jiarou County was deliberately humiliating Ning Ziqing, she felt displeased and wanted to change the subject.

The ladies who were good friends with Ning Ziqing also wanted to come forward to defend her.

However, Ning Ziqing stopped them with a look.

Then, she slammed the celadon tea lid shut in her hand.

The hall fell silent instantly.

Ning Ziqing sat up straight and suddenly sneered.

"I haven't heard such a ridiculous joke in a long time."
