The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 129 Preparing Birthday Gifts

“Boss, what should I do with these banknotes?”

 The subordinate brought the banknote to Brother Hu with a greedy look on his face.

Brother Hu glanced at a few of his men and said, "Put this money in my room. I'll pay for the brothers' drinks tonight!"

 “Thank you, boss!”

The subordinates who were still a little dissatisfied showed joy and hurriedly put the banknotes into Brother Hu's house.

After the men left, Brother Hu waved away the waiting girl, "You go down first."

The girl did not dare to say anything and left with her head lowered.

 There was no one in the backyard, but Brother Hu still looked wary and entered his house.

As soon as I closed the door, a gust of cool wind blew behind me.

Brother Hu swallowed his saliva, turned around cautiously, and met a pair of cool eyes.

 “This big brother, that money…”

"Keep this money for yourself. You know what to do next. I won't come again."

"I know I know…"

Brother Hu touched his hands and looked up again. There was no one in the room.

He touched his head and murmured in his heart, I don’t know who Su Chongzhong offended, but this guy can take out a thousand taels in three days, so he seems to be quite rich!

 Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Mansion.

Su Leyun followed Mrs. Lin to the specially prepared embroidery room.

 It is said to be an embroidery room, but the decoration inside is extremely noble.

 “Mrs. Lin.”

The people in the embroidery room saw Mrs. Lin, stood up and said hello, and their eyes fell on Su Leyun.

The people in this embroidery room are not ordinary embroidery ladies. There are many ladies among them, as well as embroidery ladies who have been praised by the Queen Mother for their excellent embroidery skills.

 “You don’t have to be so polite, please sit down.”

Mrs. Lin did not put on airs when facing everyone. She was busy with the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, so she would not offend anyone among them.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Su Leyun, the second daughter of the Suhou family."

“Is this the one who came back from Jingzhou?”

 A woman dressed completely different from the others asked loudly.

Mrs. Lin first glanced at Su Leyun beside her, worried that her words would make him angry, but Su Leyun's expression did not waver at all.

 She then looked at the speaker, who was the embroiderer who had been praised by the Queen Mother.

 Among these people, this person is the most difficult to deal with.

 “I am indeed back from Jingzhou.”

Faced with such a problem, Su Leyun couldn't help but feel uneasy. Growing up in Jingzhou was not what she wanted, and it was also a problem she couldn't avoid. Since she couldn't avoid it, why not face it directly and calmly.

Liu Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Leyun, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

She thought she would be the kind of girl who couldn't bear the grievance.

“Mrs. Lin, I don’t know why I want to invite Miss Su here?”

Liu Qin asked.

 She thought it would be a verbal battle, but to Mrs. Lin's surprise, Liu Qin did not continue to ask.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin also breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Su is quite knowledgeable in double-sided embroidery. I asked her to help."

"Double-sided embroidery?" Liu Qin felt a little suspicious and absurd, "Ms. Su learned double-sided embroidery when she was in Jingzhou?"

They all say that she was raised in the countryside, so it would make sense if she knew how to do some embroidery, but double-sided embroidery is something that ordinary women cannot afford to learn.

Mrs. Lin glanced at the maid, who brought up Su Leyun's previous embroidery.

“These are made by Miss Su, you can take a look.”

Several people came forward to look at the embroidery, showing expressions of surprise from time to time.

Liu Qin looked at their reactions and took a step forward.

 Took an embroidery and looked at it.

 After a moment, the expression on his face changed.

“Is this embroidered by Miss Su?”

Liu Qin held the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and looked at Su Leyun.

Su Leyun nodded, "If there are any shortcomings, please give me your advice."

 “I don’t dare to give advice.”

Liu Qin put down her embroidery handkerchief. She had practiced double-sided embroidery for many years to achieve her current strength, but she never expected that a young lady who came back from the countryside would be even better than her.

 I feel a little helpless in my heart.

 But Liu Qin is not the kind of person who will be timid or angry when others are better than her.

 In her opinion, if someone is better than her, then she should continue practicing and surpass that person.

“Miss Liu Qin, let’s discuss the method of double-sided embroidery among the three of us.”

 Mrs. Lin said.

Liu Qin and Su Leyun nodded, followed Mrs. Lin into another room.

Although the embroidery pattern has been finalized, the materials and stitches need to be carefully considered, otherwise even one stitch error may ruin the entire embroidery.

 When it comes to embroidery skills, Liu Qin and Mrs. Lin are both Su Leyun's seniors, so Su Leyun occasionally makes a sound from the side, but most of the time he just listens.

“Using threads, I think I can add some gold and silver threads, which will make the picture look more majestic.”

Liu Qin expressed her thoughts, and Mrs. Lin nodded in agreement.

Su Leyun frowned and said, "Mrs. Lin, Miss Liu, I think it would be better to use silk thread instead of gold and silver thread."

"What did Miss Su say?" Mrs. Lin didn't think what Su Leyun said was wrong, but she was just a little curious.

Liu Qin also looked at Su Leyun, waiting for her answer.

"Although gold and silver thread can increase the sense of the embroidery surface and make it look more elegant, the shortcomings of gold and silver thread are also obvious. It is easy to break. If it is not taken care of well, it will easily destroy the entire embroidery surface." Su Leyun didn't feel timid at all when looking at the two people, "But silk thread won't."

“Miss Su, don’t forget that the patterns sewn with silk thread are extremely thin. If you offer something like this to the Queen Mother, she won’t buy it.”

Liu Qin did not mean to be sarcastic when she said this, but she was very aware of the Queen Mother's preferences and knew all kinds of silk threads well.

Su Leyun knew her worries, "Miss Liu, I have a way to solve this problem."

"any solution?"

 …

 Liu Qin slowly withdrew his gaze, but the shock in his heart did not diminish at all.

Not only do we need to improve silk thread, we also need to improve double-sided embroidery. Did Miss Su really only learn embroidery for two months?

 “What do you think, Miss Liu?”

Su Leyun looked at Liu Qin with a smile, waiting for her response.

“Then do as you say, but just in case, we still need to use gold and silver thread first.”

"nature."

Looking at how Su Leyun and Liu Qin got along, Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Liu Qin didn't have any objections to Su Leyun, they would be able to work together well.

Su Leyun and Liu Qin discussed again, and the sky was getting dark.

“Mrs. Lin, please send her here.”

At the door of Lin Mansion, Su Leyun said goodbye to Mrs. Lin. He looked up and saw Liu Qin who was also walking out of Lin Mansion.

There was no maid around Liu Qin, she seemed to be alone.

Su Leyun looked around and saw that there was nothing else except Su Mansion's carriage.

“Miss Liu, can I give you a ride?”

 “Miss Su, just do what you want.”

 Liu Qin rejected Su Leyun's kindness and walked straight in one direction.

Mrs. Lin saw this scene and advised: "Miss Su, don't mind, Liu Qin has always been like this."

"fine."

Su Leyun smiled and shook his head, then glanced at Liu Qin's leaving figure before getting on the carriage.
