Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 9 Framed
After picking up the fabric and having lunch, Cai Xuan muttered, "We have to finish it quickly, or she won't know when she will ask us to work on the embroidery frame."

"There is always something for us to do." Su Wanru smiled.

As soon as the two of them entered the door of the backyard while they were talking, they heard an eight or nine-year-old girl shouting from behind: "Sister Su, Sister Gao said that you should go to the shop after picking up the fabric, and she has something to tell you. "

Su Wanru stared blankly at Cai Xuan, "Go back first, I'll take a look."

"Then be careful." Cai Xuan suppressed her voice, "She might be acting like a moth."

Su Wanru nodded, and went to the Shanshui Pavilion.

In the hall, the embroiderers all went back to take a nap, and there was no one in the empty space. She searched around inside, but there was no sign of Gao Chun at all.

Su Wanru immediately returned to her yard.

"Strange." After listening to her explanation, Cai Xuan asked in confusion, "There is no one, could it be that little girl who lied to you?"

Su Wanru shook her head and said nothing, turned around and saw that Hu Qiongyue's bed was empty, it was rare that she didn't come back to take a nap.

"Ajin, I'm going to bed first, I haven't slept well in the past two days." Cai Xuan yawned and threw herself on the bed.

"Well, I'll call you when the time is up." Su Wanru took the cloth and sat down at the table, remembering what happened at noon, Gao Chun was so weird that someone called her over, but she wasn't there.

She didn't think that little girl had found the wrong person, let alone deceived them.

If there is no problem with that little girl, then the problem lies with Gao Chun.

What does she mean, what does she want to do?
She was thoughtful, her hand holding the scissors fell on the fabric, and she looked at her bed for a moment...

The sleeping Cai Xuan turned over, her back was facing her, the surrounding was very quiet, not even the menial woman who usually liked to eat melon seeds in the yard was gone.

In the Shanshui Pavilion, Gao Chun and others searched for things from boxes and cabinets, sweating from the busyness and looking very anxious.

The movement here alarmed Aunt Qiu, and the group started to check the back yard. There was a lot of noise in front, but the yard here was extremely quiet, except for Hu Qiongyue who went back and forth twice in the yard, Su Wanru and Cai Xuan never went out.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Wanru's door suddenly slammed and was pushed open from the outside. She and Cai Xuan sat up in shock and looked at the door in surprise.

Gao Chun led his men and stood at the door aggressively.

Aunt Qiu stood at the door without saying a word.

Su Wanru put on her shoes and came down with a confused look on her face, "Auntie, what happened?"

"You stayed in the room all the time at noon?" Aunt Qiu looked at Su Wanru with a cold face, and she nodded, "After getting back the fabric, we slept in the room and didn't go out."

"Then why did someone see you go to the restaurant at noon?" Aunt Qiu walked to the table. The table was covered with washed blue floral cloth, cut in half, and the workmanship was pretty good. Su Wanru glanced at Gao Chun and nodded , "When I came back after dinner, a younger sister came and told me that Sister Gao had something to tell me to go to the restaurant to find her, so I went."

"Gao Chun looking for you?" Aunt Qiu turned to look at Gao Chun, Gao Chun showed a surprised look, "I don't even know you, what do I want you for?"

Aunt Qiu looked at Su Wanru with suspicion in her eyes.

Su Wanru couldn't believe it.

"You're lying." Cai Xuan jumped up and shouted, "When Ah Jin and I came back, a little girl came and told her that you were looking for her and asked her to go to the restaurant to obey orders. She went But you were not in the restaurant, so she came back."

"It's a joke." Gao Chun snorted coldly, "Which little girl sent the message, you find him, and we confront each other."

Cai Xuan stomped her feet and pointed at Gao Chun, "Look for it!"

"Auntie." Su Wanru pressed Cai Xuan. Since Gao Chun said so, she was sure that even if they found it, the little girl would not admit it. She walked up to Aunt Qiu and whispered: "I did go to the restaurant at noon. .But after talking about it for so long, I still don’t know what happened, and I still don’t understand it.”

"Pretending to be garlic." Gao Chun snorted, and said, "There are two bolts of cloth lost in the Shanshui Pavilion, both of which are glass yarns sent by the Weaving House two days ago, and one of them is sold for 20 taels of silver outside."

Su Wanru was stunned, with a look of surprise on her face.

"A Jin." Aunt Qiu paused, and asked earnestly, "Did you see those two pieces of cloth?"

Before Su Wanru could speak, Gao Chun had already interrupted the conversation: "Auntie, why would she admit that she stole it? Let me just search it."

Aunt Qiu is cautious and respectful of rules. She usually has a good temper, but no matter how good-tempered she is, she cannot tolerate thieves.

As long as someone's hands and feet are not clean, at least they will be driven out, and at worst they will be handed over to the government.

Gao Chun thought, and looked at Su Wanru with the determination to win...a little girl who has just arrived, taking care of her is not as easy as crushing an ant to death.

Aunt Qiu didn't speak, but looked at Su Wanru.

"I don't have one." Su Wanru shook her head, and said solemnly, "But since Elder Sister Gao wants to search, then do so."

Aunt Qiu looked away, looked at Gao Chun and nodded.

Gao Chun led people straight to Su Wanru's bed, lifted the quilt, and dragged out a wooden box that was placed under the bed. Her clothes, shoes and socks were all turned out and thrown on the ground. It was turned into a mess.

Cai Xuan trembled angrily.

Outside the door, Dou Rao, Ruan Siying and several embroiderers who came to see the excitement gathered around the door, talking and chattering.

"A Jin won't steal things." Ruan Siying pulled Dou Rao anxiously, "Let's go help her, you should think of a way."

Dou Rao brushed Ruan Siying away, and said in a deep voice, "She has offended others. It seems that she can't stay in Jinxiufang."

Ruan Siying's heart sank, thinking of Lu Siqiu, she immediately looked at Su Wanru sympathetically.

"Why not?" Gao Chun searched inside and out. Not only was there no fabric, but she didn't even see a piece of rag. She asked with a low voice, "Are you sure you put it in this room?"

"Yes, I put it in the box under the middle bed, why is it gone?" Xiu Niang had a strange look on her face, she turned the empty box upside down and shook it a few times, her face was ugly.

Su Wanru stood calmly, watching them quietly.

"Have you found it?" Aunt Qiu asked and looked at Gao Chun. Gao Chun wiped his sweat and shook his head, "No, but she must be hiding somewhere else. Auntie, this person is dishonest." She said, suddenly Looking at Su Wanru's body, pointing to her clothes, said: "Maybe she is tied to her body."

The material is very thin, and it is not too conspicuous when wrapped in layers.

Aunt Qiu also looked at Su Wanru, frowning slightly.
