Chapter 51 Quota
"Master Hou." Zhou Feng poured tea and said earnestly, "Si Sanbao just sent someone to visit you when you are here."

Shen Zhan crossed his legs and was flipping through the booklets, one by one, and threw them on the table casually, with no expression on his face, and he couldn't see his attitude towards Si Sanbao.

Zhou Feng sighed secretly, helped Shen Zhan pack up the papers, and then persuaded, "When the Holy Majesty ascended the throne in Yingtian, Si Sanbao was the first one who voluntarily entered the palace to be the prince's companion. After more than half a year, he went to serve the Holy Majesty. .As far as the Holy One is concerned, there is a bond of love between them."

Shen Zhan rolled his eyelids, and gave a lazily hum.

"Si Sanbao's ability is not good, but his kung fu of flattering horses is unmatched." After Zhou Feng responded, he gained some confidence, "He will not be in Zhizao Mansion for more than three years. My subordinates speculate that the Holy Majesty wants to send him away." Take it out and leave it for the prince. So..."

"So you can't give him face, you can't offend him, right?" Shen Zhan drank tea and looked up at Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng nodded, "Yes! If he is magnanimous, that's fine. But this man is narrow-minded and shallow-sighted. If he meets him here, he will bear his grudge when he returns to Beijing in the future. While blowing the wind. Even if you have no choice but to get you, Marquis, you are still a louse and will cause trouble for you."

"What you said is very true." Shen Zhan got off the chair, nodded to express his agreement with Zhou Feng's persuasion, "I don't have the same knowledge as him."

Zhou Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately laughed, "Master Hou has a lot in his heart, so don't pay attention to such villains at all."

"I understand what the master said." Shen Zhan agreed, "If there is nothing else, I'll go to practice swords. When Si Sanbao came, the husband took him directly to the backyard. He was no outsider, and he came and went. "

Zhou Feng was very happy that Shen Zhan respected him. He thought he was knowledgeable but regretted not having Bole. When he took refuge in Shen Zhan, he was self-defeating and didn't think highly of this low-born martial artist.

But getting along with each other in the past few years has made him admire. Shen Zhan is a natural general when it comes to marching and fighting.

He is convinced now.

"Min Wang!" Shen Zhan was gearing up, "Pull the brothers out, practice!"

Min Wang was taken aback, followed Shen Zhan with a yes, and immediately went to greet people, but Lu Cheng asked strangely: "Master, the place at home is small, can you practice well? How about borrowing the school yard from the yamen?" ?”

"It's too far away, I'm too lazy to go." Shen Zhan took off his shirt while walking, and was wearing a pair of black knee-length trousers with his bare arms. Qingliu brought his big knife over, and he took it with one hand and danced a few moves. Throwing the pestle on the ground, the shock caused bursts of soot to fly up, he raised his eyebrows with an unpredictable look, "Grandfather is training at home today."

Lu Chengying didn't dare to ask again.

Shen Zhan, sometimes you watch him do things out of pleasure, but if you think about it afterwards, you will find that he never does things out of pleasure.

He has his reasons and ways that others don't understand.

During the time for a cup of tea, there were 30 to [-] more people around. Lu Cheng moved away all the stone pier, and the back garden without a single flower was bare, not much smaller than the school yard.

A group of men were talking to each other, the noise was even more lively, someone shouted: "Master, how did you practice today, will you win any prizes?"

"Let you sleep in Zuichunlou for three days." Shen Zhan pointed at the person who spoke, "Can you do it?"

The man laughed and patted his chest: "Master, with this physique, three years is not enough!"

"Promise!" Shen Zhan waved his knife and roared: "Set up a target and divide into three teams. Those who win will come and ask for a lottery with the Lord."

This is a lottery, whoever wins says what he wants.

Everyone immediately booed, everyone knew that Shen Zhan was serious and harsh during the real military training, but now he is just afraid that the brothers will be bored and looking for fun.

After three or two strokes, the practice equipment was set up, and three archery targets were placed towards the outer courtyard, with a distance of nearly a hundred steps, to see who would win or lose.

Sigh, three arrows, three people, no distinction is made between high and low.

Laughing one after another, Lu Cheng started to feel itchy when he saw it, and sneaked into the line, but the people in the line refused and pushed him out, "Why are you meddling, this is the benefit that the Lord gave us, you You can’t come here for nothing.”

Lu Cheng snorted, and came over to complain to Shen Zhan, "Master, I'm idle."

"You also want to sleep in Zui Chun Lou." Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows to look at him, Lu Cheng's face turned red and scratched his head, "No... no." He just had itchy hands and didn't want to sleep in Zui Chun Lou, he will marry a wife in the future.

Shen Zhan kicked him, "Then just stay aside and meddle."

Lu Cheng stood aside with his head down.

"Little fish." Shen Zhan pointed to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy-like soldier, "You go."

Xiaoyu roared, "Yes!" Immediately, he came up with his head held high, and the people around shouted again: "Xiaoyu, I can see clearly this time, if you miss the target, we won't take you to find a girl." .”

"I...I won't." Xiaoyu glared fiercely, holding the arrow vigorously, "Wait and see!"

Outside the courtyard, Si Sanbao was picked up by Zhou Feng himself, "...Your Majesty is in a very good mood today, and he is leading his brothers to train in the army."

In good spirits, but not angry, Si Sanbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately answered: "The brothers in the hands of Lord Hou are all warriors with one enemy against a hundred, even if they are playing around, it will make people's blood swell. Miscellaneous must To get to know each other."

Shen Zhan had already given the order, and of course Zhou Feng would not stop him, he smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Please, my father-in-law."

The two of them were surrounded by a group of servants and walked towards the backyard. Si Sanbao watched all directions. The yard was very large and could be repaired casually. There were no flowers and plants, but it was very similar to Shen Zhan's style... There were girls and women coming and going, But it didn't stand out.

He thought of the women in Shen Zhan's backyard, he could let his brothers come in and out of the backyard at will, and he was still practicing in the backyard, which showed that he hadn't bothered to take those women in at all.

When the group entered the inner courtyard, they heard commotion from a distance. Si Sanbao was full of flattery. After walking for a while, they saw three archery targets standing in the middle of the road.

"This is..." Si Sanbao tilted his body and looked at the dozens of naked and naked soldiers a hundred steps away. He frowned in his heart.

Seeing that Shen Zhan was the same again, he immediately swallowed the words that came out.

"I'm practicing archery." Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment, wondering why Shen Zhan put the target here, "Eunuch, walk this way, the sword and arrow have no eyes."

Si Sanbao nodded immediately, and followed Zhou Feng to the side, but before he could take a few steps, he heard the sound of breaking through the air, and then he was pulled back by Zhou Feng, "Be careful, father-in-law."

"Why..." Before he could say what was wrong, he saw an arrow miss the target and shoot straight at him. Si Sanbao's legs were weak from fright, and his face was pale. Bong pulled a few times without pulling.

The arrow was so fast that it came to him in the blink of an eye, Zhou Feng immediately squatted down with his head in his arms, and there was panic and panic behind him.

Only Si Sanbao was stunned on the spot.

With a whoosh, the arrow landed directly on his thigh.

Si Sanbao screamed, covered his legs and knelt down on the ground.

"Elder-in-law, don't move, don't panic, I'll call for a military doctor here." Zhou Feng reacted, and the three souls frightened the seven souls, "Don't move, don't move."

In a panic, someone ran to ask for a doctor.

Si Sanbao was sweating profusely from the pain, clutching his legs and trembling, "It hurts, Zajia hurts so much." When he was a child, his family was bitter and cold, but after following Zhao Zhiang, his life has been very comfortable, where is the skin and tender flesh? Can bear the pain of flesh and blood.

"Come quickly." Zhou Feng shouted, "Come and help me, and help Si Gonggong in to rest."

The person on the opposite side looked at it, and came towards this side with a huff.

Si Sanbao gritted his teeth in pain, and took Zhou Feng's hand, "Who... whoever shot this arrow, Zajia will kill him."

Zhou Feng frowned, and looked at the dumbfounded little fish opposite.

"You bastard." Shen Zhan scolded Xiaoyu, "Come here and apologize to the company!"

Xiaoyu folded her fists and knelt down on one knee, apologizing to Si Sanbao, "Eunuch, the arrow just missed the target, it was the villain's fault, please punish him."

"Hou...Master Hou." Si Sanbao's eyes were full of grievances with tears in his eyes, Shen Zhanning stepped forward to support Si Sanbao's arm with one hand, and said with concern: "I don't know if the company will come and hurt you, yes Shen's fault."

Si Sanbao originally wanted to kill Xiaoyu, but when he saw that Shen Zhan had made the mistake of blocking him, he had to bear it no matter how painful it was, "It's...it's nothing, it's just a little flesh injury, Lord Hou doesn't need to worry about it. "

"This won't work." Shen Zhan said, turning his head and yelling at Xiaoyu, "Go get the [-] army sticks yourself, and you will be fined with three years of military pay. You can pay for the medicine for the father-in-law. You can be convinced."

Xiaoyu nodded yes, cupped his fists and said, "Submit!"

"This...how did this happen. It's not easy for them to get some military pay for a year, and they can just support them for a few days without any medical expenses." Si Sanbao turned to Xiaoyu to plead for mercy, "Please be kind to Lord Hou."

Shen Zhan looked at Si Sanbao, and the expression in his eyes turned into admiration. He patted Si Sanbao on the shoulder, and said cheerfully, "This company is a real man!"

The corners of Si Sanbao's mouth trembled, enduring the pain in his shoulders, numbness and legs, and talked with Shen Zhan.

The doctor rushed over, drew the arrow and put medicine on Si Sanbao, and Shen Zhan accompanied him all the way, talking to Si Sanbao.

After finally bandaging it up, Si Sanbao was in so much pain that he really wanted to cry, but looking at Shen Zhan, he didn't dare to let go, and said with a smile: "The miscellaneous family is here, I am causing trouble for you, Lord Hou."

"Eunuch is polite." Shen Zhan sat opposite him and asked, "Eunuch is here, but there is something to do."

"That's it. Today's banquet is due to poor arrangement of the miscellaneous exams, which made you come back disappointed." Si Sanbao followed Shen Zhan, and said with a hearty smile, "Once you leave, the miscellaneous family will think about it." , I became more and more anxious, so I came uninvited."

"I'm a vulgar person. Forget about bad things after they happen." Shen Zhan said in a friendly tone, "Don't worry too much."

Si Sanbao immediately put his heart back into his stomach, and said with a smile: "Master Hou has a lot of people, and those who are not important will naturally not take it to heart."

Shen Zhan nodded.

Behind him, Zhou Feng stroked his forehead, and he said why Lord Hou agreed so simply today.

If you can't do it openly, then do it secretly. Lord Hou has no intention of letting Si Sanbao go.

"This is a little thought from the miscellaneous family." Si Sanbao handed over a brocade box, "It is also a blessing for the tea to enter the mouth of the Marquis."

Lord Hou is most annoyed by drinking tea, Zhou Fengxin said, Si Sanbao still doesn't understand Lord Hou.

"This tea is good." Shen Zhan accepted the gift unceremoniously, "Mr. Lao is taking care of you."

Zhou Feng staggered and almost lost his footing.

Si Sanbao felt more at ease, and talked to Shen Zhan about the capital, "... Prince Ning's boat has left Tongzhou, and he will arrive in Yingtian in less than a month and a half. How will the prince be received? Order one or two."

This is to test Shen Zhan's attitude.

"Live in the palace." Shen Zhan looked at Si Sanbao with a smile, "As for who is going to greet him, I will arrange it with my father-in-law."

In other words, not only is there no conflict between Lord Hou and King Ning, but the relationship seems to be pretty good. Si Sanbao felt that today's trip was not in vain, so he nodded with a smile, "The miscellaneous family will follow what Lord Hou wants Go make arrangements."

Shen Zhan nodded, leaving Si Sanbao for dinner, and when he was full of wine and food, Shen Zhan suddenly remembered something, patted the table and called Zhou Feng, "Go and tidy up that Yangzhou skinny horse, and send it to the company in a while. "

Zhou Feng froze for a moment, the corners of his mouth trembling.

"Yes!" He should be. Si Sanbao's face also trembled, and he pulled Shen Zhan, "Master Hou, you can think about other things like this, this woman..." He waved his hands, "Mr. Life is a life without blessings.”

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Zhan seemed to have drunk too much, "In my opinion, you are a real man."

Si Sanbao's eyes lit up, and even the arrow wound didn't hurt anymore, and he was grateful, "Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you, Lord Hou."

The host and guests enjoyed the meal, and Si Sanbao led the beauty away in satisfaction.

Shen Zhan went to the backyard, and Xiao Yu jumped up and greeted him from one side, saying, "Master, Big Brother Lu won."

"Yeah." Shen Zhan nodded, looked at Xiaoyu, and said, "The arrow technique has improved, let's continue to practice."

Xiao Yu leaned over and said in a low voice, "Next time I'll definitely shoot him right through."

Shen Zhan laughed.

"Master Hou!" Zhou Feng ran over holding Si Sanbao's brocade box, "Master, look..."

There was no tea in the brocade box at all, but a jar of banknotes stuffed into it. He just counted 5 taels.

"Accepted." Shen Zhan was not surprised at all, "It happens to be short of money. If someone sends money in the future, they will always accept it."

Zhou Feng also immediately became happy, Shen Zhan was recruiting private soldiers, money is the key, and they are short of money right now, "Master, this trip is not in vain."

Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes, and said, "Si Sanbao's pockets are so bulging, I'm jealous of you!"

"Master Hou, you..." Zhou Feng's heart jumped, and Shen Zhan had already patted him on the shoulder, smiling unfathomably, "Don't worry, sir, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way."

Zhou Feng is speechless, Master Hou is using what he has learned... He is not a gentleman, let alone such immorality.

Back then, they picked up the most graves.

Su Wanru actually wanted to find Director Duan. In her opinion, if she wanted to enter the Moon Tower, the most direct person was Director Duan.

As long as she wins her favor, maybe on March [-] next year, she will be able to enter the tower with her.

However, before she arrived at the office, Aunt Qiu sent someone to look for her and asked her to go there.

Knocking on the door, Cai's mother warmly invited her in, "But everyone is here, and you are the only one missing."

"That's my rudeness." It turned out that she was not the only one who invited, she walked in with a smile, "Who else?"

Mama Cai closed the curtain and said with a smile: "There are also sister Qinghong, sister Sanniang and sister Zhenying."

So it was so, Su Wanru thanked her and followed Mama Cai to the banquet room, and sure enough they sat in a circle, with hot and cold dishes on the table, it wasn't too rich, but the atmosphere of talking and laughing was very good.

"Ah Jin, come and sit here." Qing Hong patted the chair beside her, "Today I'm in charge of the business, and he said he would treat us to dinner."

Su Wanru laughed, and followed Qing Hong's words to compliment Director Duan, "If I had known I would be in charge tonight, I should have been hungry since yesterday." She said, and bowed to each other.

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became more and more pleasant. Aunt Qiu said: "I thought this girl was dull and talkative, but she was a clever ghost under her cover."

"Even if you ate yesterday, you can eat more now." Duan Zhangshi laughed, and when the mother-in-law served tea, she looked at the couple and said, "Everyone has worked hard today, let's have a good meal , go back and get a solid sleep."

Su Wanru nodded with a smile, and felt Liu Sanniang looking at her, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Director Duan is telling the three of them not to talk nonsense, and when they wake up, they will forget about what happened in the company's mansion today.

"Yes!" Qing Hong substituted tea for wine and said with a smile, "As long as I have something to eat and drink, I don't care about anything else."

Director Duan smiled helplessly, shook his head, and was about to speak when Mama Cai pushed the door in and replied with a smile: "Director, Auntie, the Jiangning Marquis Mansion sent a mother over and gave many gifts as a thank you Sister Qinghong saved their young lady's kindness today."

"The Marquis of Jiang Ning is a respectful family." Director Duan nodded, and said to Qing Hong: "If that's the case, you can go there in person, and you don't need to push and shove, just accept it generously."

People like them are not gifts, but rewards.

It's a reward, so you can't refuse it.

"Yes!" Qing Hong replied and went out, and after a while, she came back with a bunch of things, and said with a smile: "I saved people today, right, Jiang Ninghou's mansion is generous, and I gave away a lot of things." pile things up."

Food and decorations, there is always half an arhat bed piled up.

"It's yours." Director Duan nodded, glanced at the gift casually, Jiao Zhenying said: "It can be seen that meeting Xiaoshui is indeed beneficial, and it must be used at critical times."

Everyone laughed.

"Drink." Duan Zhangshi served the wine, and everyone drank half a glass, she said: "Today, Eunuch Zhu said that Prince Ning's boat left the dock, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to reach Yingtian."

After she finished speaking, Aunt Qiu frowned and said, "The manager, but did Yanjing send someone here?"

"En." Duan Zhangshi nodded, looked at Qinghong, "I'm afraid I will wrong you then."

The embroidered dragon robe is a beauty job, and it is the first time the emperor wears it to sacrifice to heaven. Yanjing and Yingtian's two embroidery workshops are competing. Yingtian has no chance, but who would have thought that Si Sanbao would come to Yingtian Naturally, this good job fell into his hands and brought to Ying Tianlai.

Yanjing Jinxiufang was not convinced, so it took the route of the harem, and sent an aunt in charge and two capable embroiderers over. It was called to study, but in fact it was to grab credit.

"I'm not afraid of being wronged." Qing Hong said with a smile: "I am a little embroiderer who only does the things assigned by my aunt. I dare not take care of other things. As for teaching, it is even more out of the question, right?"

Qinghong has a lively temper, and she smiles when she speaks, which makes people feel heartless, but very appropriate.

"It's good if you think so. I'll talk to your aunt in detail." Duan Zhang felt helpless, but Si Sanbao didn't stop her, and it was even more difficult for her to say anything.In fact, she couldn't figure out what Si Sanbao meant, "If you do things well and be stable, you will have a future in the future."

Qing Hong originally planned to go home next year, but the words swirled around in her mouth, but she swallowed them anyway.

In this world, it is not easy for a woman to get things done. Now that she has an opportunity, whether she wants to seize it or not has to be discussed with her family.

"Ask what Mr. Si means." Aunt Qiu thought thoughtfully, "If Mr. Si is willing to stop in front, it will be much more convenient for us to do things."

Director Duan was a little embarrassed, "It's hard to say this, because I'm afraid that Mr. Si also wants to leave a way for himself, and he doesn't want to offend everyone."

Aunt Qiu thought it made sense, and Si Sanbao couldn't rule out thinking so. When the people from the capital came, he would throw away the shopkeeper and let the people on both sides fight.

The most difficult thing is their Jinxiu workshop.

"Soldiers are coming to block you." Qing Hong said with a smile: "Don't worry about the boss and aunt, no matter how arrogant they are, they are still guests, maybe they can still ride on our heads."

What she said was funny, she laughed out loud, and the atmosphere became active again.

"Ajin, let's go to the second floor to order." Aunt Qiu looked at Su Wanru, saw her nodding, and said to Jiao Zhenying: "You want people from Siqiu, you have to teach them carefully, ah Jin has a solid background, if you give her a little guidance, she will definitely benefit you in the future."

Jiao Zhenying looked at Su Wanru with raised eyebrows, and said with a smile: "So I'm going to be in the wrong person, maybe in the future I won't be able to secure my position as the boss."

"What's yours is yours. If you work hard, no one can take it away." Aunt Qiu stared at Jiao Zhenying reproachfully, who nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'm not easy to bully."

Everyone laughed, Su Wanru respected Jiao Zhenying's wine, "Don't worry, Chief Embroidery, I heard your warning just now clearly, and I promise you that I will never take your position as Chief Embroidery."

"Huh!" Jiao Zhenying was sent to the army, drank his wine in one breath, and complained to Aunt Qiu, "Look, Auntie, this is really not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Aunt Qiu patted Su Wanru's head, this little girl was born too well, whether Jinxiufang can stay in the future is still a matter of debate.

She felt a little guilty, but she couldn't say anything about it.

"Sister Lu is here." Outside the door, Mother Cai shouted with a smile, the atmosphere in the room was silent, and then Aunt Qiu smiled and said: "It's Siqiu who is here, please come in, we just happen to talk together."

She treats the three elders equally in official affairs, but in her private heart she still inevitably favors Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang's life was too bitter.

"Master, aunt." Lu Siqiu came in with a smile, Su Wanru had to get up and give way, Lu Siqiu immediately smiled and said: "You sit in your seat, I'm a little jealous today, I insist on sitting next to my aunt and the manager No."

Su Wanru was very surprised, she was not usually a very active person, but today she became very eloquent and coaxing.

"It's rare to be so lively." Director Duan said with a smile, "I think it's better to call another banquet and call the others together, lest someone will come to me and say they are jealous."

Everyone laughed, Mama Cai agreed and went to reserve a table, while the other woman went to invite the aunt in charge and the chief embroidery officer of the other two halls.

Su Wanru doesn't like talking to strangers, but it's a great honor for her to come to such a scene, not only can't leave, she has to sit here obediently.

After a while, the noodles were delivered, Aunt Wang from the Jinxiu Pavilion, Aunt Liu from the Xiju Pavilion, and the five embroidery chiefs who came with them, all the seats inside and outside were full of people, and it was very lively.

Su Wanru had the smallest position, so she had to move her seat back, Jiao Zhenying held her back, and said with a smile: "Why don't you let me sit next to me, who knows what will happen in the future, don't feel guilty."

Su Wanru dragged a stool and sat next to Jiao Zhenying, Qing Hong leaned her face closer and said, "Zhenying is right, you are the least qualified, but you are the one who is in charge of the job, so it shows that you are valued very much. Your future is limitless."

Su Wanru laughed, poured wine for Qing Hong, and said in a low voice: "Sister, drink another glass, I won't pour wine for you in the future."

"Hey!" Qing Hong liked Su Wanru more and more, she was beautiful but not coquettish, and never made trouble with her face, "I have to take care of this little girl."

Jiao Zhenying protected Su Wanru, and said with a smile: "She has been under my command since tomorrow, if you want to clean up, you can also come to our Shanshui Pavilion."

"I'm not going." Qing Hong snorted twice, and was about to speak when Lu Siqiu sat up and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, talking softly and laughing loudly, let us listen too."

Qing Hong pinched Lu Siqiu's face, "I said that the longer you grow, the more beautiful you are, I'm jealous."

Lu Siqiu couldn't help laughing, glanced at Su Wanru from the corner of her eye, and sneered at her with disdain, and said with a smile: "Su Jin is here, I wish I could hide my face under the table."

"Don't pay attention to her." Jiao Zhenying answered, "She is jealous and jealous tonight, she is almost like a firecracker."

Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled along with everyone, and raised her eyes to look at Lu Siqiu, who was also looking at her with a half-smile, her eyes were full of coldness.

She has never been afraid of Lu Siqiu before, people who put their minds on their faces are nothing to be afraid of.

Lu Siqiu was really jealous in his heart, if she hadn't come tonight with a cheeky face, the manager and aunt would never have invited her...

Forget about San Niang, Jiao Zhenying is no better than her, so why should she be left behind.

Is it...

Lu Siqiu's heart skipped a beat, she hadn't thought about it all this time, because the Shanshui Museum was not as competitive as the other two museums, and Aunt Qiu was strict in her management, and after the embroidery work came, they were divided in turn, and there was never any favoritism.

But this time is different, the competition on August [-]th, the winner will follow Liu Sanniang to embroider in the palace embroidery, and maybe even enter the palace to thank you.

The world has just been settled, and the Queen's first birthday, this person will undoubtedly leave a deep impression, and the future will definitely be very different.

With such a big matter, will Aunt Qiu favor Jiao Zhenying?
Lu Siqiu was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard Aunt Liu on the opposite side say: "Speaking of it, the people under Sanniang's hands are more solid, but they are older, so it's hard to say in the future. Zhenying has a few, Not to mention the young age, the craftsmanship is also solid."

Lu Siqiu's heart became colder and colder, someone touched her arm inadvertently, and she looked at Qing Hong in a daze, "What are you thinking, you don't pay any attention to Ah Jin's toast to you."

"Ah! I'm distracted." Lu Siqiu took the cup as if to cover up, and when she looked up, she found that Su Wanru was looking at her. At that moment, she had an illusion that the person opposite saw what she was thinking.

In a hurry, Lu Siqiu drank the wine, then became dizzy, leaned back on the chair and dozed off.

Su Wanru looked at her thoughtfully.

The meal was late, everyone was drunk, and the aunts were helped back home. Su Wanru helped Mama Cai clean up the table. Mama Cai smiled and said, "It's getting late, girl, go back and rest early." Come on, I can do it alone."

Director Duan still has a little girl and a mother-in-law by his side, but let those people go back tonight, and there is no one to do things right now.

Mama Cai actually doesn't need to do it, but tonight the manager will live here, so it's not good if she doesn't clean it up.

"There are so many bowls and chopsticks. It will be dawn after you clean them up. I'll help you." Su Wanru is actually very unfamiliar with this kind of thing. Mama Cai noticed it at a glance, and smiled immediately: "Don't break your hands, tomorrow Aunt Qiu is going to settle accounts with her servants."

Su Wanru smiled, but didn't stop her hands. Director Duan came out after washing, and seeing that Su Wanru was still there, he smiled and said, "You're a hardworking kid, I'll take you away."

"I won't be able to sleep for a few hours when I go back. I'm going to help Mama Cai tidy up and then go embroider a handkerchief." Su Wanru smiled and said, "Go straight to work at dawn."

Young, energetic and hard-working, this is what Director Duan would like to see. He nodded in agreement and said, "I was like you when I was young. At that time, Wu Niang and I often stayed up for several nights, just sharpening our needles and threads." thing."

Song Wuniang!Su Wanru thought of her master, Song Wuniang's eyes were broken after she got old, and she couldn't even distinguish between people and things unless she got close.

It was better if she found a reading glasses for her to use.

"Go back." Director Duan waved his hand, "Don't be tired, take good care of your body."

Su Wanru answered, wiped her hands and went out, Mama Cai helped Master Duan back to the room, and said in a low voice: "Su Xiuniang is not only born well, she is also very clever."

"En." Duan Zhangshi lay down, folded the quilt and said, "Qiu Hong still values ​​her, so you don't have to worry about it."

Mother Cai laughed, dimmed the light a bit, and said: "I don't think much about it, I just think that looking at a pretty face every day, I guess my mood will be brightened."

Duan Zhangshi smiled, turned over and fell asleep.

Su Wanru really didn't plan to go to bed anymore. She yawned and washed her face by the well before going back. After lighting the lamp, she turned over a piece of dark blue cloth, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she muttered: "You don't like other people's needlework?" No, you obviously just don't want to make me feel comfortable."

Shen Zhan pressed her down, insisting that she agree to make a dress for him.

She answered very spinelessly.

Shen Zhan readily sent her back.

"Put a needle in it and stab you to death." Su Wanru spread out the material on the bed indignantly, then turned around to get the basket from the table, and then froze for a moment, seeing a piece of paper under the basket, she hurriedly whipped come out……

It was a bank note with Shen Zhan's private seal on it.

"Isn't it at Mrs. Han's side? Why are you here?" Su Wanru looked through it over and over again, and then went to check the room. Except for the extra bank note, everything else was the same. "It was sent by the Han family. ?”

After thinking about it, she gasped and realized that the denomination of this banknote was 1 taels, "Crazy, you actually carry so many banknotes with you."

Folding it up and putting it under the pillow, she thought about it and found a chair to block the door, so she felt relieved.

Outside the door, Han Jiangyi came out from the shadows, looked at the room with the lights on and frowned slightly, surprised at Su Wanru's calmness, she was not surprised or afraid when she found out that someone had come to her residence.

He stood at the door, and Su Wanru's figure on the window moved sometimes and sometimes remained still. After a while, there was a soft and slow song coming out. He couldn't understand what she was singing. It wasn't very beautiful, but it made him feel interesting.

It took a long time for him to laugh, and he was surprised that he was so interested in spying on women as a villain under the beam, shook his head, and went out with a smile.

As soon as he left, Su Wanru opened the door, "Aren't you a human?" She was puzzled, she took the latch by the door and followed out, and from a distance she saw a genius doctor walking towards the backyard very quickly, she looked around After looking at it, he decided to follow the man.

After following a hundred steps, the man disappeared as soon as he turned around. Su Wanru searched around, and when she looked up, she realized that she had come to the Moon Tower unknowingly.

"Leaving?" She stood there for a while, and suddenly, there was a sound of small footsteps coming from behind. She was startled and hid behind the tree, and saw two figures entering the opposite side one after the other. trail.

It's a man and a woman, the woman looks familiar to her, the man is not the one who walked in front just now, but he seems to have seen it somewhere.

It's weird when men and women meet at this time.

Su Wanru hurriedly followed, but unfortunately the two of them had gone far away.

After searching for a while, it was already dawn. She found Cai Xuan and went to the museum together. The layout of the second floor was similar to that of the first floor. There were sixteen people in Jiao Zhenying's group, which was a few fewer than the downstairs.

But the atmosphere was obviously much better. As soon as they came, a chubby embroiderer named Zhou Huaijuan said: "There are two more people, and now we will be more lively. Embroidery chief, I heard that you are begging with the downstairs, It must be very happy, you should celebrate something so happy, treat us to snacks."

"Just know how to eat." Jiao Zhenying pretended to be angry and said: "Wu Ping is not feeling well these days, please help her, don't delay the business."

Zhou Huaijuan pouted and nodded, "Got it, got it." She pushed Wu Ping again, "You don't get sick early, you don't get sick later, but now you're sick, if our group loses, I don't care Eat you up."

Su Wanru looked at Wu Ping, her complexion was really bad, she seemed to be very weak.

Wu Ping reluctantly responded with a smile, "I will try not to drag you down."

"Embroiderer." Dou Rao stood up and said, "I've finished what I'm doing, or I'll help Sister Wu. All sisters have work to do."

Su Wanru focused on Dou Rao.

"Alright." Jiao Zhenying nodded, and gave Su Wanru and Cai Xuan two sets of base maps, "These two sets are from Changzhou, just make them before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Su Wanru agreed, and looked at the manuscript. It was a painting of smoke in a mountain village by Xu Yingda from the previous dynasty. The picture was not too big, but the color scheme was very elegant.

Everyone took their seats, Zhou Huaijuan came over and sat beside Su Wanru with a smile, "I heard that you are also from Pingjiang Mansion?" He asked again: "Then do you know Mr. Bian?"

Who is Mr. Bian?Su Wanru shook her head, but asked rhetorically, "Sister Zhou, are there any painters in the museum? Where do they live? Can they usually enter the inner courtyard?"

"Of course there are painters in the museum." Zhou Huaijuan put on a silly expression, "But they rarely come in. The museum stipulates that men are not allowed in the inner courtyard."

Su Wanru snorted, and turned her gaze to Wu Ping.

"Do you know how to draw a draft? If not, please invite an artist." Zhou Huaijuan pointed at Su Wanru's draft, Su Wanru smiled and said, "Then who should I invite? Should I send things or invite someone in. "

"Please Yang Changgong." Zhou Huaijuan said: "He has the best craftsmanship. But there are many people looking for him, you may have to wait for ten days and half a month."

After Zhou Huaijuan finished speaking, Su Wanru noticed that Wu Ping's finger had been pricked by a needle, and she was shaking her finger in a daze.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself." This draft is really difficult to draw, and it's not easy to paint, so she simply stopped drawing, but used a needle with a thin hair to pierce small pieces according to the thin lines of the draft. hole, and then stick the fabric on it, a little bit of expansion.

She was only halfway through lunch, and Zhou Huaijuan had already dragged everyone to eat.

Su Wanru also injected the needle, glanced at Wu Ping, and said with a smile, "Sister Wu, let's go together."

"Oh... yes." Wu Ping nodded, and Su Wanru went to help her down the stairs, and asked curiously as she walked, "Sister Wu, how many painters are there in Xiufang? I seem to have seen a man yesterday Inner courtyard, I don’t know if it’s a painter.”

Wu Ping's hand jumped, and he hurriedly replied, "There are many painters. The one you saw should be...it should be."

The two of them were talking and passed Lu Siqiu.

Su Wanru had eaten, and walked around the inner courtyard for a long time to digest, before she came back slowly. Just as she went up the stairs, she saw Lu Siqiu coming down the stairs with a smile on her face. She stopped and saluted him slightly, and the two passed each other.

Except for Wu Ping who came back early, there was no one else upstairs.She stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the other party. Seeing Wu Ping looking desperate and discouraged, she hurriedly said something to her, "I'm going back to sleep." Then she went downstairs.

"So nervous." Su Wanru frowned and walked to Wu Ping's embroidery frame. The embroidery on it was already half-embroidered. It was also a Jiangnan hookah painting. The embroidery was very detailed, but the color matching was a little rigid.

However, although there are some deficiencies, Wu Ping's craftsmanship is still very good. No wonder Jiao Zhenying let her participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival appraisal.

The quota for this competition is very precious.

Su Wanru smiled, turned around and went downstairs as well.

She followed behind Wu Ping.

Wu Ping lives a little far away from her. There are six people living in three rooms in one courtyard. Although they are off work, everyone has not come back yet. In the courtyard, the poor woman was cracking sunflower seeds. Su Wanru was standing at the door when she heard the woman saying Smiling with dirty words, "...Don't mention it soon, which man is not like this. It's okay to be old, but that's all you can think about when you're young."

Several people laughed, Su Wanru listened deeply, but the other changed the subject, "Wu Xiuniang, do you feel something is wrong these days?"

"It's a bit." A woman said, "She refuses to ask her to ask a doctor."

The mother-in-law muttered a few words and didn't say anything more, but Su Wanru withdrew. They dared to say these words in the yard, so it could be seen that Wu Ping hadn't come back.

She doesn't rest today, so she can't leave Jinxiu Workshop, so she must still be there.

Where will you go?She walked along the path to the Moon Tower.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, there were people walking indistinctly in the woods where the Moon Tower could be seen. Su Wanru took a few steps closer and saw Wu Ping's face clearly.

She was alone, rubbing her hands anxiously, stomping her steps back and forth, with a strange expression, chattering like she had lost her soul.

"What is she doing?" Su Wanru hid behind a tree and watched quietly, when suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps, she quickly shrank back, and then saw a man walking past quickly, Su Wanru looked Leng.

It was the man she met yesterday. She can never forget the slightly special people she met.

The man stopped in front of Wu Ping, and the two were very cautious. After saying a few words, the man walked away. Wu Ping covered his face and cried on the spot for a long time before leaving along the path in a daze.

Su Wanru looked at her back and raised her eyebrows slightly.

After lunch, Jiao Zhenying went back to the residence with Liu Sanniang. The two walked unhurriedly, talking about things in the museum: "...Zhenying, I'm afraid you are the least concerned about this selection. This morning, I see a few people under General Siqiu shouting before dawn."

Jiao Zhenying noticed that the atmosphere in the Shanshui Pavilion seemed to be slightly different from before, "Why is she suddenly in a hurry."

She and Liu Sanniang who had to fight in the past also gave in, and Lu Siqiu is not blind to fight for everything, so they have always lived in peace, but this time it is a bit strange.

"This time is different from before." Liu Sanniang coughed and said, "If you do well, you can enter the palace to thank you."

Disdain flashed across Jiao Zhenying's eyes, and he said, "Then let her fight, let's see what she is capable of."

Otherwise, she would really let it go, Lu Siqiu couldn't beat her in this matter.

"Wu Ping." Liu Sanniang saw someone passing by in front of the courtyard, and called out to him to stop, "Have you eaten at noon, are you feeling better?"

Wu Ping looked a little flustered, and shook his head, "No...it's okay. I'll just go back and rest for a while."

Liu Sanniang nodded and didn't ask any more questions, Jiao Zhenying answered, "It's really uncomfortable in the afternoon, so I rest in my room."

"Yes." Wu Ping saluted, and walked quickly with his skirt in hand, but he didn't go back to his own yard, but went straight back to the Shanshui Pavilion.

Wu Ping sat alone in front of the embroidery frame in a daze, as if she had made up her mind for a while, she suddenly got up and went into Jiao Zhenying's room, and ran out again after a while, she was walking too anxiously in a panic, and bumped into someone body.

"Sister Wu." Su Wanru crossed her arms and said with a sneer, "You need my help."

Wu Pingru was struck by lightning, so he took a few steps back and looked at Su Wanru in horror.

　The rewards for yesterday's floor have already been rewarded!But I didn’t get the top three likes….I forgot to mention, what if the number of likes is the same, who can give me an idea...

　　Or the Zanduo girls in the previous few pages, try harder and add more likes...
