The sun was blazing outside, and the shadows of flowers and plants were clearly reflected on the ground, moving with the wind, as if you could reach out and grab it.

The maidservant girl walking in the courtyard couldn't open her eyes because of the sun, but she didn't dare to slow down her steps, nor did she dare to shade the sun with her hands, so as not to lose face in this kind of thing, so that Ah Lang and his wife would fall in front of outsiders.

After everyone congratulated Mrs. Hu on her birthday, they each sat down for dinner.

Male and female guests are separated by a large carved wooden screen, and the men and women are seated separately, so that they can be heard and seen.

The birthday banquet prepared by the Hu family this time was different from the past, and the dishes on the dining tables on both sides of the screen were completely different.

The dishes on the male guest's side are faintly a bit bold of the Northwesterners, the meat is mostly large, and the wine is all large.

Most of the male guests who came to celebrate their birthdays were military generals, and it was refreshing to eat big wine and meat.

The dishes on the female side's side are more exquisite, and the presentation is very exquisite, which makes people have an appetite when they see it, and it is also suitable for women to drink and swallow.

During the meal, he promised to find that Wu Niangzi was sitting opposite her impartially, wearing orange and black sleeves, and the ornaments on her hair had two more golden hairpins than usual.

There was a distance of seven or eight feet between the two, and every move was in full view.

Thinking of what he had just discovered, Xu Yue's eyes flashed, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his gaze stopped for a long time, and then he saw Wu Niangzi raise her head and look at her.

She didn't dodge, but nodded to Wu Niangzi with a smile, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

Wu Niangzi also responded with a smile, without any abnormality or inappropriateness.

After lunch, the ladies sat together. The topics of discussion are nothing more than marriage, piano and chess, calligraphy and painting, and female workers.

I don't know who started up, and I talked about female workers.

The ladies began to show off how good their daughters were and which embroiderers taught them. What a compliment.

Speaking of embroidery girls, everyone's attention fell on Wu Niangzi, who was an embroidery girl.

"Mrs. Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time, my second mother was taught by you at the beginning, and she married her in-law at the end of last year, and everyone praised her as a good female worker, all thanks to your blessing. ”

Madame was serious. The second lady was originally ingenious, and I was just icing on the cake. Wu Niangzi replied with a faint smile, and reached out to tie the broken hair in her ear behind her ear. and straightened his sleeves without a trace.

"Mrs. Wu, which lady are you teaching now?"

"The fourth lady of the Ministry of Labor's family got married this autumn, and I mentioned one or two points when she embroidered the dowry. ”

"Oh, that Xu Si Niang!"

Mrs. Wu didn't say anything about the promise. Hu Ling's big eyes rolled. looked at Wu Niangzi suspiciously, waiting for the following.

Just when Hu Ling was puzzled, someone spoke: "I heard that the sixth lady of the Xu family is almost thirteen, and I think I can learn from you as a female worker with Wu Niangzi, you can't just learn tea art, and forget the root of women." ”

After speaking, there was a light laugh in the banquet, and I thought that the female relatives sitting there had heard the rumor that the female workers were not good.

Xu Promise looked at Wu Niangzi quietly. I saw her sitting upright, and her expression did not change at all. The lips opened: "Yes, I do teach Xu Liuniangzi's female workers, and when the old lady's birthday banquet is over, I will go to Xu's Mansion to teach Liuniangzi." ”

As he spoke, he raised his arm and pointed in the direction promised.

As soon as she raised her hand, something fell from her wide sleeve.

The lady beside Mrs. Wu was tall and had long hands, and she picked up the things on the ground with one hand.

Promise to recognize this lady who picked up things, is a famous long-tongued woman in the capital, no matter what news, but if she hears it, everyone in the capital will know it on the second day.

Mrs. Wu's sitting is really a coincidence.

Wu Niangzi saw that the long-tongued woman picked up the thing she had dropped, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, looking anxious, as if the thing that fell out was not visible.

Seeing her expression, how could the long-tongued woman return the things, stretched out her hand and said, "What is Mrs. Wu anxious about, is it possible that I will eat your veil?"

Wu Niangzi frowned and shook her head, and begged the long-tongued woman in a low voice to ask her to return the veil.

The actions of the two had already attracted everyone's attention, and all the female relatives were watching this side intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing Mrs. Wu's expression, Xu Yu couldn't help laughing, and his smile was deeply playful.

Seeing that the long-tongued woman was about to open the handkerchief and take a closer look at the embroidery inside, Wu Niangzi hurriedly spoke, saving and said: "This is Xu Liuniangzi's newly embroidered handkerchief, Liuniangzi has been in contact with female workers for a short time, and the treatment on the stitches is definitely not mature enough, this handkerchief is what I took home to ponder, and I want to find a way to help Liuniangzi......"

The words are outwardly upheld the promise, saying that the embroidery of this handkerchief is not good in some places, because of the promise to a beginner female worker, not because the promise is not skillful.

If people look at the cloth embroidered by promise, it is useless to say that no matter how much maintenance is maintained, because beginners are better than promises to embroider today.

The more Wu Niangzi said this, the more people would despise Xu Promise for being clumsy when they knew the truth.

Lu sat beside Xu Promise, thinking that his daughter's embroidered handkerchief was being held, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

As soon as she was about to open her mouth, she heard the long-tongued woman say loudly, "Amazing!"

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she immediately shut up, made a finished look, and looked at Xu Yu and Lu Shi with a guilty face.

Lu Shi frowned, subconsciously shook the hand of the promise, nodded towards the promise, and signaled her not to lose her temper.

Xu Qian, who was sitting on the side, held back a smile, her eyes fell on the long-tongued woman, and her heart was infinitely excited. Promising such an unsightly female worker is just the right foil for her to be higher than her peers.

The long-tongued woman held the handkerchief with a shocked face, and continued: "Wu Niangzi, how can you be so modest, how can such a superb embroiderer say that there is a problem with the stitches, I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen a lady in her early ten years old who can embroider such a vivid and realistic butterfly." ”

As soon as the long-tongued woman said this, several ladies in the vicinity vied to see the handkerchief that she had promised to embroider, and to see what kind of embroidery it was, so that she could get such a high evaluation from the long-tongued woman.

You must know that the long-tongued woman has an amazing eyesight, and ordinary things can't get into her eyes.

This time, everyone's hands were not as fast as Wu Niangzi's.

Wu Niangzi snatched the handkerchief, looked at the embroidery on the handkerchief, and frowned.

It's not a handkerchief in her sleeve, it's not!

It shouldn't be like this, it should be a mess of patterns.

After hearing Wu Niangzi's words, the Lu family, who had been holding the promised hand, let go, and regained his composure.

As long as you don't let people see the handkerchief embroidered by Liuniang, everything else is easy to say.

Someone took a handkerchief from Wu Niangzi's hand, and praised it while passing it on, saying that Wu Niangzi is really a good teacher, and the female workers of the Xu family Liuniang were laughed at half a year ago, and Wu Niangzi only taught for a few days, and she has made such great progress, which is really powerful.

Xu Qian listened to everyone's praise, with an impeccable smile on her face, but the hand under the food table twisted and twisted the handkerchief, and the sweat in the palm of her hand soaked the handkerchief.

Today, she is obviously trying to slander the promise, why did she get praise again?

God is unfair!――
