Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 22
"A Jin." Cai Xuan opened the door and came in. Que'er was sweeping the yard, saw her smiling and said, "Sister Cai is here, and Sister Su hasn't gotten up yet."

Cai Xuan nodded at Que'er, and entered the room, "Ajin, get up quickly, something has happened."

"Tell me slowly, what's the matter?" Su Wanru didn't sleep well for the past few days, and she suffered from severe headaches. She sat up and grabbed her clothes to cover her body.

"I just met Lu Xiuchang and Jiao Xiuchang on the road." Cai Xuan said anxiously, "Guess what I heard."

Su Wanru looked at Cai Xuan, her eyebrows raised slightly.

"Why are you not in a hurry." Cai Xuan sat by the bed, Su Wan got off the bed and put on her shoes, and said with a smile, "What did you say?"

Cai Xuan sighed, knowing that this was Su Wanru's temperament, she simply refused to let it go, and said, "Lu Xiuchang and Jiao Xiuchang said that she will train us well in the future and let us replace Gao Chun."

It seems that Jiao Zhenying's business failed.

Su Wanru combed her hair casually, took out a basin, Cai Xuan was also squatting by the well, seeing no one around, she suppressed her voice and said, "...Lu Siqiu will definitely not let us have a better life, don't tell us to do things, I'm afraid He was thinking about how to torment us."

Su Wanru wiped her face with a handkerchief, the cut skin on her palm rested for a few hours, and the scab had formed. She couldn't help but think of that woman's hand last night...

It's okay to say that she feels guilty, but it's true that she feels uncomfortable and disgusted.

Compared with Shen Zhan, Lu Siqiu is not so hateful.

"Ajin, did you listen to me?" Cai Xuan saw Su Wanru's eyes wandering away, and hurriedly pushed her away. Su Wanru smiled and said, "I heard that. Where did you see them?"

So early, the two of them will be together, it is impossible to meet on the road.

That is to go to Aunt Qiu's side.

"In the second courtyard, I guess I came out of Aunt Qiu's yard, because I happened to meet Aunt Qiu on the way when I came to you." Cai Xuan and Su Wanru went out together, and Que'er was in the courtyard with another little girl. Chatting at the door, "Sister, go slowly."

Su Wanru smiled, and said to Cai Xuan: "It should be that Lu Siqiu found out about my going to Jiao Xiuchang. She went to Aunt Qiu's place early in the morning and blocked the road." She smiled, "It's still me No more thinking about it."

She should have done it a little more covertly.

It's just that there are people coming and going in the Shanshui Museum, so it's really not easy not to be discovered.

"Then what should I do." Cai Xuan said, "Ah Jin, I don't want to stay with her, is there anything else you can do." She wants to do something so that she won't waste three years.

Su Wanru smiled and said: "Don't worry, things will always work out." Since Jiao Zhenying agreed, she will definitely get things done, if she can't even do this well, then just treat her as a high-ranking Jiao Zhenying.

"Wait a few more days and see." Su Wanru comforted Cai Xuan, "Isn't today the seventh day of the lunar new year?"

According to the century-old rule of Jinxiufang, on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, greetings to the manager and the aunts of each hall were held in the front yard where they had a lecture when they first arrived.

If Jiao Zhenying can't do it, then she will go find Aunt Qiu by herself.

Hearing what Su Wanru said, Cai Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt relieved, "That's right, don't worry about it for a few days."

Losing her mind, Cai Xuan laughed heartlessly again.

The two of them went to the restaurant after breakfast, and the embroiderers arrived in twos and threes, and Lu Siqiu was lecturing, "...you have been following me for a day or two, and I will not treat one more favorably than another. If you let me know what shameful thoughts you have, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

While talking, Lu Siqiu glanced at Su Wanru, and said: "Qiuyue, Hongxing, Atao and Cuijuan hurry up and work hard. Although the others don't judge, they can't slacken their work because of it."

Everyone bowed their heads.

"Su Jin, Cai Xuan, come here." Lu Siqiu beckoned to them, Su Wanru pulled Cai Xuan and walked over, standing behind, Lu Siqiu said: "You have been here for several days, don't always treat yourself as outsiders, Since you have entered Jinxiufang, you have to treat this place as your own home, and you will be well when your home is well."

Su Wanru responded, and Lu Siqiu smiled inaudibly, walked to the table and brought over the patterns, "Here are two sets of screens, both of which were requested by the old lady of the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion, and there are all the patterns, you guys Just follow the embroidery."

Cai Xuan raised her head in a daze, she obviously didn't expect that Lu Siqiu would give them a job today.

And it was something that the Jiangyin Marquis wanted.

"Embroider well, and let us see your craftsmanship." Lu Siqiu put the pattern on the table, "You are newcomers, if you don't understand, please ask everyone." Then he said to everyone: "If they are not sensible, As senior sisters, you can naturally teach me a lesson."

Everyone looked at the two of them mockingly, which meant a lot.

Lu Siqiu glanced at the two of them, turned around and went to the inner room, the first floor suddenly became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads to do their work.

"A Jin." Cai Xuan hesitated, Su Wanru smiled, but her heart was moved. A son from the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion, two young ladies, the one who came last time was the eldest son Han Jiangyi... Mrs. Han invited Jinxiufang to come out, It was either a betrothal gift for Han Jiangyi, or a dowry for the two ladies.

Han Jiangyi is the eldest son, and the Holy Majesty has just ascended the throne. I am afraid that the marriage cannot be decided by them. Second Miss Han is still young, so the old lady Han should be for Miss Han.

Could it be for Shen Zhan?

She smiled and went over to bring two sets of draft samples, one is a peony picture, and the other is a pomegranate multi-child picture. Although the area is not large, it has extremely high requirements for stitching and color matching.

Su Wanru took the complicated pomegranate multi-child picture, while Cai Xuan kept the peony picture.

After finding an empty embroidery frame, the two sat down, put on the base material and sketched the draft, and spent the time in peace and quiet.

Cai Xuan felt uneasy, and leaned over and whispered: "Is she really planning to get along well?" She couldn't believe it.

Gao Chun only left for a few days, shouldn't Lu Siqiu be jealous of them?

She raised her eyebrows and picked the pomegranate multi-zitu.

In the morning, everyone was doing their own things, and the entire Shanshui Pavilion was quiet, only the cicadas were buzzing on the branches in the yard.

Cai Xuan was busy working for a long time, and when she turned her head and saw Su Wanru's sketch, she exclaimed in surprise: "A Jin, you did a great job of drawing this picture, this pomegranate is just like the real thing."

"It's not painted, so it looks real." Su Wanru laughed, and was about to speak when the door creaked open, and Lu Siqiu came out, patrolling one by one with a smile on her face, stopping at a young embroidered girl. In front of the mother, she frowned and said: "How did you press the valve, the waterway is so obvious, fix it quickly."

The embroiderer was young, her eyes turned red when Lu Siqiu said it.

"If you want to cry, cry and cry. Let's see how my aunt will punish you if you dirty the paper." Lu Siqiu couldn't bear it, so he walked away, walked slowly to Su Wanru's side, saw the paper on the glass gauze, and immediately narrowed his eyes, Immediately said: "I didn't expect Su Jin's drawing skills to be so good. Everyone, come and see. No wonder my aunt likes her. It turns out that we are too blind to recognize this gold inlaid jade."

Su Wanru frowned.

Everyone put their needles and squeezed over, the crying little embroiderer just now wiped her tears and said unconvinced: "It's enough to be a painter if you can draw well, but the embroiderer relies on embroidery." After finishing speaking, she walked away awkwardly. up.

"What do you know?" Lu Siqiu spat, "When you have Su Jin's level, you will understand that this draft is as important as embroidery work."

Everyone remained silent, and the malicious eyes that looked at Su Wanru became more and more obvious.
