After Xia Xiaoxiao withdrew from the main hall, it only took half a cup of tea to come back with Li Hong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After following up on the hall, Li Hong still looked that withered, bowing her head and not saying a word.

"Li Hong, you went out so early, where do you want to go?" Song Sibao asked with some reproach in his words.

"My lord, I didn't eat last night, and I was hungry. I got up early and wanted to find the kitchen, looking for something to cushion my hunger, but I got lost......" Li Hong's voice became softer and softer, and she seemed to hear some grievances.

Everyone thought about it for a while, and their eyes fell on Chen Fan'er.

It's true that Lord Shang Xiu punished the last person for not eating, but as a roommate, shouldn't Chen Fan'er take the initiative to give Li Hong some dinner? No sympathy!

Looking at Chen Fan'er's eyes full of disdain, and then looking at Li Hong's almost unstable body, he suddenly felt that she was very pitiful.

Chen Fan'er realized that she hadn't done anything wrong, her body stood straight in place, and she still looked at Xia Xiaoxiao from time to time. Because among the people present, only Xia Xiaoxiao entered the house and saw that he had specially left food for Li Hong.

Xia Xiaoxiao also looked at Chen Fan'er with disdain, but the smile outlined at the corner of her mouth was different from others, and it was even more intriguing.

"Not good. I thought that I couldn't make friends with the new embroidery girl, at least to leave a good impression on a few adults, but now I can't argue. Chen Fan'er frowned slightly, she didn't expect to be calculated on the second day after entering the imperial city.

Those who are calculating naturally wait to see the excitement, but the few adults present are all old and sophisticated, how can they be so easily judged by one sentence.

"Then I'll make a long story short, let's go to the dining hall for breakfast after the meeting." Li Shangxiu, who was originally settled, opened her eyes, she did not continue the previous topic, but directly discussed the theme.

"Shangxiu Bureau is divided into two houses, Si Yi and Si Bao. In the next month, you need to learn the rules and sharpen your needles; At the end of the month, there is a test of divine talent and the results of needle sharpening. ”

"Embroidery talent and magic talent are the criteria for judging which academy you enter, of course, if you sharpen the needle carefully enough, you can choose for yourself."

Li Shangxiu paused and continued: "Standing on my left is Wang Siyi from Siyi Academy, and on my right is Song Sibao from Sibao Academy. The Shang Xiu Bureau is below me, and their official positions are the highest. Salute yourselves. ”

"I've seen Lord Siyi, I've seen Lord Si Bao." The crowd saluted in unison.

"Alright. That's all the official has to say. Wang Siyi, the matter of grinding needles is in charge of Siyiyuan; Song Sibao, you are responsible for learning the rules. However, you can leave these little things to the girls below, and don't delay the clothes and jewelry ordered in the palace. After speaking, Li Shangxiu closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

If you don't look closely, you will only feel that there is a statue on the main seat, and there is no breath.

"Okay, don't look at it, follow me to the Iron Stone Forest to choose needles." As soon as Wang Si's robe was flicked, the person had already floated to the door of the palace.

The women were startled, and hurriedly turned around and followed them out of the hall.

In the hall, Song Sibao just wanted to leave, but Li Shangxiu closed his eyes and asked again:

"What do you think of Li Hong's matter?"

Song Sibao didn't think about it, and replied with a chuckle: "It's all the following little tricks, and I used to have it often, so it shouldn't matter." ”

"If it's a little trick, it's just a trick. I don't know why, when I look at this batch of newcomers, I always feel a little uneasy, maybe it's a sign that the Divine Realm has loosened recently and is about to be promoted, or maybe something else is about to happen......"

"Congratulations on your imminent entry into the realm of 'scattered branches'." Song Sibao was surprised and delighted. Although the official system of the imperial court does not pay attention to the realm of divine arts, strength is the hole card of everyone and even each academy. If Li Shangxiu can go further, then other colleagues will look at the entire Shangxiu Institute differently.

"At the end of the 'falling flowers', the flowers have not fallen, and they are still a little bit short after all. It's too early to celebrate, and you don't go around preaching. Li Shangxiu's expression was as calm as water, without any waves.

"Yes, yes, Xia Guan understands."

"In order to prevent accidents, you go to the inner palace in person, and ask Master Fu to count a hexagram and the good luck and evil of this courtyard."

"The subordinate obeys."

"Don't think that you will be at ease when you enter the Shang Embroidery Bureau. If this first level of 'grinding the needle' fails, he will still be sent back to his own state and county, and it will not be as simple as losing face at that time. ”

Wang Siyi never stopped talking all the way, and kept admonishing the eight little girls.

It turns out that the so-called grinding needle is to go to the iron stone forest to select a piece of iron and stone, and it takes a month to grind it into a needle. This needle will follow the embroidery girl for the rest of her life, and the appearance is the needle hairpin on their hair bun.

Everyone followed Wang Siyi and walked, and after walking for about half an hour, they finally saw a red painted iron door.

"Embroidery girl, open the door." Wang Siyi said outside the door.

With a creak, the door opened. Standing behind the door is naturally the embroidery girl, it is said that in the entire Shang embroidery courtyard, the embroidery girl can come in an instant, so there are many forbidden places managed by her.

The so-called "Iron and Stone Forest" is actually a bamboo garden, with green bamboos, rustling bamboo sounds, and no yellow dead leaves can be seen.

Further down, you will see a small patch of red earth. The land is enclosed by a tall bamboo fence, and there are strange iron stones of different shapes inserted in it.

"Grinding into a needle, it can be regarded as an official admission. First, each of you chooses a piece of ironstone for yy. Here I would like to explain that the so-called 'iron stone' is just a unified name, in fact, the material of these stones is different, but it will contain some iron. This piece of red soil was obtained by the ancestors from the extreme west, containing the creation of heaven and earth, and constantly giving birth to new iron and stone. ”

Then, Wang Siyi conjured up a black rectangular stone out of nowhere, and continued: "This piece in the official's hand is a grinding iron stone, which is cast from fine ink, and nothing is not grinded. ”

"When you have chosen the iron stone that is pleasing to you, come to the ruler and receive the grinding stone. In the next month, as long as there is time, you have to keep grinding, and the fine ink will circulate the black juice by itself when polishing, without any other assistance, only grinding wholeheartedly. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." The eyes of the women had already drifted to those strange iron stones, and they thought about hurrying to grab the smallest one.

"Okay, one final note. There are large and small iron stones, but not the smaller the easier it is to grind. Depending on the material, the final degree of grinding is also different. To take an extreme example, if you choose an iron stone with fine ink ingredients, then with the experience of this official, even if you grind for a year, you will not be able to make any changes to this stone. Wang Siyi's serious face rarely showed a smile, but it was obviously not kind.

"Let's go find it. I'll give you a stick of incense. ”

After saying that, several of the embroidery girls crowded together, trying to grab the small entrance set up by the fence.

The first to take the lead was naturally Xia Rui, she seemed to have already chosen, as soon as she entered the red clay, she carefully observed it in the direction of the lower right corner.

Chen Fan'er was not in a hurry, she first took a general observation outside the fence, and then walked into the red soil after everyone else had entered. She walked straight to the upper left corner, where no one cared about it, and crouched down, carefully identifying the iron stone in front of her. (To be continued.) )
