192 Buy-in?
Wu Niangzi had an embarrassed smile on her face.
The praise kept drilling into her ears, and she couldn't tell whether it was true or false, she only felt that today's incident was inexplicable, and she didn't dare to refute it, so as not to be noticed by Lu Shi and Xu Xu and even the long-tongued woman.
But Xu Qian, who was sitting opposite, couldn't bear it.
Xu Qian hid the crumpled handkerchief in her sleeve, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Looking at the texture of the handkerchief in Wu Niangzi's hand, it doesn't seem to be what we are used to embroidering in Xufu. ”
Xu Qian was a little suspicious that Wu Niangzi had taken the wrong handkerchief at the moment, and instead of taking the handkerchief embroidered by the promise, she brought the handkerchief she embroidered.
She said this now, but she wanted people to return the praise she had just promised.
Sure enough, as soon as her voice fell, someone asked.
The woman who asked sat next to the long-tongued woman, and she asked with a smile, "Is this the lady of the Xu family?"
"I've seen Mrs., my son is the fourth mother of the Xu family. Xu Qian stood up and bowed again, and the etiquette was very thorough.
"Oh, then come and see, is this the veil in your house?" said the lady, her smile becoming meaningful.
This kind of thing, how can a woman who has been in the back house all the year round not be familiar with it, and she can detect the slightest clue, but I don't know who set up the bureau.
The affairs of other people's families should be lively.
Xu Qian glanced at the Lu family, ignored the Lu family's shaking head, and walked towards the opposite seat.
The long-tongued woman looked up at Xu Qian, snorted coldly and handed the handkerchief to Xu Qian.
Xu Qian took the handkerchief, as if she had been pricked by a needle.
This is the Xu family's handkerchief, which is good. But the butterfly on the veil was not embroidered by her, and this butterfly was better than hers, more vivid and finer.
What is the level of the promised female workers. She knows best that it is impossible for a female worker to come in and embroider this kind of fine product recently.
Why did Mrs. Wu take out such a handkerchief?
Could it be that Mrs. Wu is playing with her?
Wu Niangzi was placed in the Xu Mansion by the county lord of Jiaren, and she told Wu Niangzi about the habit of making promises, and Wu Niangzi also got the promised handkerchief.
The original plan was to inadvertently let the extremely ugly handkerchief appear at the banquet at her best friend's house, first, to add chaos to the Hu family's birthday banquet, and second, to let everyone in the capital know. Although the six mothers of the Xu family have good tea skills, the female workers are not eye-catching, and they are by no means shortcomings that can be made up for by good tea skills.
The plan is very simple to implement. There is almost no possibility of failure, so simple that it only takes a handkerchief that falls out of Wu Niangzi's sleeve.
But I don't want it to be such a beautiful embroidery.
Could it be that Mrs. Wu was promised to be bought?
When Xu Qian was in Suzhou, she had already made it clear to Xu Promise, and she also knew that Xu Xu was careful. Maybe Xu Promise discovered Wu Niangzi's abnormality, so as to force Wu Niangzi to tell who was behind the scenes. Today, not only do we want to save the ugly situation, but we have to beat her up and make her ugly.
Xu Qian was shocked by her own thoughts, and broke out in a cold sweat.
When I had doubts in my heart, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case.
Promised to let her fail so badly last year, if she doesn't take the initiative now, will she lose again?
Xu Qian was a little panicked in her heart, but she said slowly: "This handkerchief is indeed the handkerchief of Xu's house, but the embroidery on it." Siniang I look at it but it is very unfamiliar, I don't know who took the Xu family's handkerchief to embroider such a fine product. ”
Since Mrs. Wu betrayed her. Then she won't let Mrs. Wu feel better.
When he heard this, he shook his head with a smile, not in a hurry to argue, and crossed his arms to watch a good show.
Wu Niangzi said: "What are the words of the fourth lady, although I am teaching female workers in the Xu family, I will not take the Xu family's handkerchief for others." ”
As he spoke, two eyebrows raised.
Xu Qian responded softly: "Wu Niangzi, don't worry, I didn't say what you took, but now I really don't understand this veil." ”
The long-tongued woman couldn't listen to it, and asked: "Who is this embroidered veil, don't you all know each other? Don't you know why it appears in Wu Niangzi's sleeve again? Could it be that as Xu Siniang said, Wu Niangzi, your hands and feet are not clean?"
The long-tongued woman was unforgiving when she spoke, and she made clear the meaning of Xu Qian's words in one sentence.
When everyone heard this, they all came to their senses, put down the teacup together, and looked at this side.
Wu Niangzi hurriedly waved her hand, made a sincere gesture, and said: "You are joking, I have been teaching and training female workers in Bianjing for so many years, what kind of person she is, everyone knows, how can she take the things of the master's family at will? I don't take a single needle in the master's house on weekdays, and I also have handkerchiefs in my workshop, so I won't ruin my reputation for a few handkerchiefs." ”
Wu Niangzi didn't understand what Xu Qian was going on at first, but later realized that Xu Qian was going to throw her into the water, and she was ruthless in her heart, so she had a plan.
Hearing her say this, naturally someone responded and said that Xu Qian should not frame Wu Niangzi.
Xu Qian was not in a hurry, she took half a step back, first glanced at the long-tongued woman, and then stared at Wu Niangzi, and said, "Naturally, I am willing to believe in Wu Niangzi, but what is going on with this handkerchief now?
The Lu family couldn't stand it anymore, and as soon as Xu Qian's words fell at this moment, she called out: "Siniang, don't talk to Wu Niangzi like this." ”
When Xu Qian heard this, she lowered her head and wanted to return to her seat.
Wu Niangzi stood up and said, "Slow." ”
Lu Shi hurriedly stood up, bowed to Wu Niangzi, and said with a little apology: "Siniang didn't sleep well last night, and she talked nonsense today, and I hope that Wu Niangzi will not be angry." ”
The Lu family had already noticed that something was wrong, but now she couldn't figure it out, so she could only forcibly stop the matter, and if there was any problem, she would go back to the house to check again, and she couldn't ruin the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Hu family.
"How old am I, naturally I won't be angry with a child, but there is something that the fourth lady may not know, so I might as well tell her here. Wu Niangzi glanced at Xu Qian with a smile.
Xu Qian shuddered when she saw it, but she couldn't speak.
Lu Shi smiled faintly, and his voice was calm: "Mrs. Wu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
She didn't believe that Mrs. Wu, who had been in Bianjing for so many years, would not know what to do and say things that should not be said.
Wu Niangzi nodded and said with a smile: "What the fourth lady doesn't know is that the embroidery of the sixth lady has surpassed her early in the past six months, and the fourth lady only returned to the capital not long ago, and it is normal not to know about it, and the sixth lady told me several times not to let me tell the fourth lady about it." ”
The implication is: The handkerchief just now is indeed from the hand of the sixth lady, and my previous concealment is just to fulfill the wish of the sixth lady, don't let you, the sister, lose face-
