Chapter 45: Trouble
Mrs. Liu stepped forward and handed the package she was holding in her arms to Lin Zhixuan, but because it was too heavy, she had to put it on the bed.
Everyone was still surprised, Mrs. Liu said with a smile on her face: "Girl, don't you know, this Xia Lan girl's needlework is really a god, I originally thought about what to use with that thin handkerchief, in case people don't like it, I also thought of a car of good things for Xia Lan girl, but I didn't want to, the guy over there took it in to show the needlemaster inside, and actually led out the needlework master sitting in the back, and asked me who embroidered it."
I said that it was the maid of our house, but the master was amazing, and asked the name carefully, which room was the maid, and insisted that he would come to redeem the maid, please go to the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau to be an embroiderer!
I was terrified, too. But the master pointed to the handkerchief to show me, saying that this peony was the best he had ever seen, saying that it was the embroidery method of court embroidery, and it looked like a living one from a distance, and he lowered his head and pointed it out to me carefully, saying that this leaf is flat embroidery, this flower is stacked embroidery, this butterfly is Gu gold embroidery, and what is the embroidery, yarn embroidery, Bao gold embroidery, hey Yo Yo little by little pointed out to me what is a hundred schools, what Dacheng, I can't remember, but the master but the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, the more he looks at the eyeballs, the bigger he stares, and says that there may not be anyone in the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau who will be like this, and he is forced to ask me to do this embroidery girl. β
Lin Zhixuan couldn't cry or laugh, so she listened to Mrs. Liu continue: "At first, I didn't prevent things from turning out like this, but the needlework master liked the handkerchief very much, and reported it to their shopkeeper, and told them to be their master, I think it looks like he wants to come to our Lin Mansion to rob people." But after all, Miss Xia Lan is the person of the third girl, so I volunteered to ask for a favor for the masters of the Splendid Workshop and the three girls, and the Splendid Workshop said that as long as the Miss Xia Lan can go to the Weaving Bureau, the girl will have to redeem herself with as much silver, just make a price, and the fifty taels of silver are to buy a handkerchief, not counted there. β
In this way, the fifty taels of silver are a deterrent, and the other is to win over and buy, after all, for a maid, fifty taels of silver is really a sky-high price, so she can't be moved. Lin Zhixuan was thinking about it, and before she could say anything, Xia Lan was anxious, and said to Mrs. Liu: "This is absolutely unacceptable, if this is spread out, how can it be good?"
Lin Zhixuan said to her with a smile: "Don't worry, I have my own opinions on this matter, but I didn't expect that the dignified Jinxiufang would be so breathless, just a handkerchief, it is worth such a teacher." β
At the beginning, it was Lin Zhixuan who asked Gu's mother to pretend to use Xia Lan's name, after all, the embroidery work in the Splendid Workshop is to be registered and the surname has a root to follow, and if Lin Zhixuan's house can send embroidery work to the Splendid Workshop without being suspected, it is only Xia Lan.
Mrs. Liu listened to Lin Zhixuan's words and continued: "I thought so too, and then I found out that I found out that the work in the palace this year is very special, far better than in previous years, and said that the step master in charge of palace embroidery in the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau is old, and his eyes are also a little flowery, I am afraid that he is about to retire, and the weaving bureau is not connected, and he can't find a suitable person for a while, so he saw that the embroidery of Miss Xia Lan is palace embroidery, and the master felt that it was enough to make clothes for the masters in the palace, so he tried his best to win over. β
Lin Zhixuan listened, but thoughtfully, this year's work in the palace is beyond the ordinary, is it because the old emperor has a sign of declining, so the Internal Affairs Office has to prepare the mourning clothes for the emperor's funeral, and the second is to prepare the dragon robe for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
Both of these are top secrets, the emperor is seriously ill and will inevitably turbulent the dynasty, and the news only came out in the Lintou Palace in the previous life, and the emperor died not long after, and the new dragon robe is even more secret, after all, you can know who is the next prince from that size alone.
Hangzhou weaving is directly subordinate to the emperor, and I am afraid that only they are qualified to know. Therefore, a family like the Liang family is the one who knows the movements of the imperial court and the emperor's intentions the most, and it is also the object of friendship between officials of all sizes. But on the contrary, it is precisely because the Liang family is clean and self-conscious, only loyal to the emperor, and does not form a party for personal gain, that they have the qualification to be in charge of the Weaving Bureau and be the emperor's eyeliner in Jiangnan.
The Liang family, Lin Zhixuan suddenly thought of something, the old lady of the Liang family in her previous life fell in love with Lin Zhixuan's fourth sister Lin Yaxuan at this year's spring banquet, and married Lin Yaxuan for her second son Liang Jingzhi, and because of this, Lin Zhixuan's father Lin Penghai actually came back from Jeju Mansion on leave, and treated Lin Yaxuan's mother and daughter very favorably from then on.
Later, because Lin Yaxuan married into the Liang family, Lin Zhixuan had the opportunity to learn from the court embroidery master who retired from the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau at that time. It was also Lin Yaxuan who married into the Liang family to elevate the status of the Lin family in Hangzhou, Lin Zhixuan received an invitation to the 70th birthday of Mrs. Qi, the governor of Zhejiang, Mrs. Qi is the mother-in-law of the old Wu Yinghou, Xie Wendong's maternal grandmother, at that time Wu Yinghou and the son were fighting abroad, Mrs. Hou was taking Xie Wendong to congratulate her mother on her mother's longevity, and she happened to fall in love with Lin Zhixuan's gentle and virtuous lady, and felt that it was very suitable to be the second daughter-in-lawγ
Lin Zhixuan closed her eyes and didn't dare to think about it anymore, in this life, she would never repeat the mistakes of the past and let people lead her by the nose, but Liang Jingzhi, the brother-in-law who made Lin Zhixuan feel very good, he was young, and the Liang family was not in a hurry to say goodbye to him, and always said that he would enter Beijing after achieving fame, but why did he suddenly can't wait for such a spring banquet this year?
Lin Zhixuan seemed to have figured out something in her heart: it was because the Liang family had already gotten the news, the emperor did not take a year off, and once the state mourned for three years, Liang Jingzhi would be slightly older three years later, so he couldn't wait, so he could only get married as soon as possible.
Thinking of Liang Jingzhi and Lin Yaxuan, Lin Zhixuan couldn't bear it in her heart, Liang Jingzhi was also a gentleman who was as gentle as jade, but she was tricked by Lin Yaxuan's tricks, and later married into the Hou Mansion, Lin Yaxuan was unwilling, and even designed to poison Liang Jingzhi and his mother Mrs. Li, and used her sympathy to take her to live in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but she designed to be pregnant with Xie Wendong's child, and she was also deceived by her in her previous life, and she only wanted to protect her, only thinking that she had been "insulted" and "wronged" in her own realm , how could he be willing to give up, take her to make trouble with the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and almost made the old lady angry to death before giving Lin Yaxuan the title of an aunt in the Hou Mansion, which also caused an uproar at the time.
Originally, because of the relationship between Lin Yaxuan and the Liang family, the Liang family and the Hou Mansion supported each other, and the Lin Yaxuan incident occurred, not only the Liang family and the Hou Mansion went into opposition, but even the Li family of Liang Jingzhi's mother also broke off the relationship with the Hou Mansion......
