"Master, I don't know what we need to do?" Chen Fan'er moved her body and deliberately sat upright and listened carefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I've already mentioned this to Su Su. But now that your appearance has recovered, the best of the best is the best, and the two of you compete internally, maybe our hope is greater. Cheng Zhi paused deliberately and glanced at Leng Qingsu kindly.

Leng Qingsu's face did not change, and he was listening intently to the master's explanation.

"According to the rules of the imperial court, embroidered women will be selected to enter the palace at the beginning of spring every year. The quota is reported by each state, one from each state; Each county will report the candidates, one from each county. ”

"If the state selection is passed, they can bring their families to stay in the state and county; If he can be elected to the court, his family can be rewarded with an extra thousand taels of silver and two boxes of pearls. ”

"I'm going to resign next year and retire, and if it was before, I would be able to go back to the state and county to settle down. But in today's situation, if you want to take the house up and down, I'm afraid it's very difficult. The two of you, if you can run for Yu'er as an embroidery girl, I will accept her as a righteous daughter. Only in this way will it be possible for us to leave Qingshui County. Cheng Zhi explained the details, his face full of helplessness. Unfortunately, the situation changes at this time are beyond my control, and if you want to protect your family, this is the only plan.

After listening to the explanation, Chen Fan'er was actually quite excited. She remembered the man she had met four years ago, who told her that if she wanted to find Granny Qin, she needed to go to the Imperial City to find the Prophet for help. For four years, Chen Fan'er has been inquiring about Granny Qin's whereabouts almost all the time, but the Cao family moved as early as a month after the edict was issued, and all the clues were broken, and no matter how much she wanted to pay attention, she had no clue.

"Sir." Leng Qingsu's eyes regained their vigor, and asked suspiciously: "Sister Fan'er and I have not learned embroidery, how can we be admitted to the state capital?" ”

Cheng Zhi glanced at Chen Fan'er and found that she also had doubts on her face, so he opened his mouth to continue to explain: "The embroidery girls selected by the palace, in addition to the requirements for age and appearance, the most important thing is to look at your potential. Although I don't know how to embroider, I have presided over two selection ceremonies. In the end, what can be recommended to the palace by the state government is not how superb the embroidery and weaving skills are, but the spirituality of the embroidery girl herself. ”

"As for how to assess and what to assess, I don't know. But according to the previous selections, those who can stay in the state and county as embroidery girls are all beautiful women, and those who can be selected into the palace are even more peerless beauties. ”

Cheng Zhi's words have been made very clear, which means that the selection of embroidery girls is actually based on face!

Leng Qingsu was a little dazed, and a hint of redness ran through his cheeks, but it quickly subsided; Chen Fan'er touched her recovered face with her right hand and lowered her head shyly.

"Okay, from tomorrow, you will learn royal etiquette with Yu'er in the morning, and let Chun Niang teach basic embroidery techniques in the afternoon."

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, each of you hands over a pair of embroidery works, and I will judge who will represent the county." After Cheng Zhi finished speaking, he glanced at the two of them meaningfully, then picked up the wine glass again and drank it slowly.

The two nodded, and each was silent without further words.

The streets of Qingshui County have long lost their former prosperity, and even on the winter solstice, few houses have hung red lanterns. The county government's family banquet ended after Cheng Zhi announced the matter, and the people cleaned up the table. It can be seen that most people have expectations, and no one wants to stay in Qingshui County.

The sky outside the city often turns black, and people are often awakened by the terrible roars of the middle of the night, and the more the situation happens, the more frightened they become, and the more they want to flee.

After Chen and Leng returned to the room, they didn't chat for the first time.

Chen Fan'er was thinking about how to win this place, and then go to the imperial city, and then look for a prophet to divinate him, step by step, gradually unfolding in his mind, thinking that he could reunite with Granny Qin in the near future, his eyes showed a strong longing.

Leng Qingsu sat at the head of the bed, glancing at Chen Fan'er from time to time, but he didn't say a word.

"Sister Susu, your face looks bad, do you have a cold?" Chen Fan'er raised her head and saw that Leng Qingsu's right hand was kneading the corner of the sheet, and her complexion was really bad.

Leng Qingsu let out a long sigh, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "I may really be cold today." You should rest early, the two of us will be busy starting tomorrow. ”

"Hehe, Sister Susu, you have to take care of your health. Let's play fair and give it our all! If you let the master choose me because you are unwell, I will never agree! Chen Fan'er pouted, then got up and went to the dresser.

Leng Qingsu showed a wry smile, and then fell directly on the bed, without loose clothes, turned over and fell asleep.

The night moon was shrouded in black clouds, and a heart-wrenching roar echoed outside the house from time to time. Chen Fan'er was tired all day and slept deeply. She didn't notice that a figure had walked out of the room through the night, or that the bed across from her was empty.

On the second day, the rooster's crow in the courtyard broke through the morning.

Chen Fan'er rubbed her eyes and found that Leng Qingsu was already making the bed, her clothes were neat, and she was obviously finished washing.

"Sister Susu, you like to sleep lazily on weekdays, why did you get up so early today?" Chen Fan'er lifted the quilt, shivered with coldness, and sobered up a little more with the coldness.

"The early bird gets the worm. We're in competition now, and I'm going to beat you in every way. Leng Qingsu's mental state recovered very well, she made the bed, and said to Chen Fan'er triumphantly, "In the future, I will get up earlier than you every day, sleep later than you, diligence can make up for clumsiness, I won this competition." ”

Chen Fan'er immediately jumped off the bed with a snort, and she didn't think the floor was cold with her bare feet, so she pretended to be angry and said, "Okay! Last night, I saw that you were absent-minded and sick, and I thought you had given up the embroidery girl selection. It turned out that he wanted me to relax, Sister Susu, you are really scheming. ”

After speaking, Chen Fan'er pouted her nose and snorted softly, quickly turned around and grabbed her clothes, and trotted to the sink while putting them on.

In the winter frost and cold people, Chen Fan'er washed his face with cold water and soon became completely sober. When she returned to the bedroom, Leng Qingsu had already helped her make the bed, holding a small bowl full of water in her hand, and said, "Look at you're frozen, your whole face is red." I poured you a bowl of water, warm, and drank it in a big gulp. ”

"Hehe, Sister Su Su really loves me the most." Chen Fan'er took it and drank it in a big gulp.

"Drink slowly, no one will rob you." Leng Qingsu frowned lightly and said with a wry smile.

"Gollum...... Yes! Chen Fan'er drank the water in three breaths, she let out a white breath, and said with satisfaction: "You don't understand, the first bowl of water in the morning should be drunk in a big gulp, it can detoxify." ”

This common sense of life was naturally taught by Granny Qin, who used to live in a thatched hut, and Chen Fan'er had to drink a big bowl of water after getting up early before starting to eat.

Chen Fan'er put down the bowl and said, "Let's go, let's go and have breakfast with Miss." ”

Leng Qingsu picked up the bowl, looked at the bowl and saw that there was not a drop of water left in the bowl, and said with a smile: "I'll go and return the bowl to the kitchen, and you go to Miss and wait for me." I'll take it and I'll come to you sooner. ”

"It's fine." Chen Fan'er didn't think much about it, and walked out directly.

When I opened the door, a cold wind poured into the bedroom.

Leng Qingsu, who was alone in the house, showed a chill in her eyes, she looked at the bowl in her hand, gently stroked the edge of the bowl, and said to herself: "Sister, don't blame my sister, I'm ruthless." This bowl of water is poisonous, and you can only drink it every day. The selection of embroidered girls is too important to me, and the only way I can't lose is to get rid of you! ”
