Qiao'er couldn't stop it, pulled up their brothers and sisters from left to right and said with a smile: "Just say a few auspicious words, kowtow is not necessary, I am young, I really kowtow but have to lose my life." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The couple laughed and said that it was exactly, and after saying a few auspicious words, the family went to sit down and eat noodles.

After the meal, Qiao'er still went to the Zhou Mansion to accompany the study, because there were many female dependents in the house, so the Qixi Festival could not be exempt from vulgarity, and I saw that each room was prepared with needles and threads and other things early to use it for begging. Mrs. Zhou also ordered to go down early in the morning, saying that there was no need to bother with anything else on this day, saying that since there was an embroidery conference outside, she would let anyone among the maids who wanted to go could go out with the car. As soon as the maids heard such a good thing, some of the masters did not want to do so, and they followed behind them to pinch and explain how wonderful the conference was, and what kind of embroidery was waiting to be selected. So the old mother who went out to spread the word went around the rooms, and when she came back, she said that she would follow.

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, ordered someone to prepare a car and a sedan chair, personally ordered a few mothers-in-law who are honest and reliable on weekdays, and asked Qingping, Sydney, Hongying and others in their own room, and asked for a while: "Uncle has sent someone to inform you, who has followed?" ‘

The whole family who accompanied the room Guo smiled and said: "The uncle has passed the word, and the letter from Miss Mingyue said that there are only two little maids left in the house to sprinkle and sweep, and everyone else will follow." Even Brother Qiao, who accompanied the reading, went. ‘

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "That's right, I was worried that he was lonely, and Zheng Yue's four sons and Wu'er who followed him were not interesting, but Brother Xiqiao followed, and the two of them were the best at talking about one place." In this case, go and tell them not to let the uncle ride a horse, and prepare a special car, let him and Brother Qiao sit down. ‘

Before he finished the order, he suddenly saw Danyang in Zhou Fuxiang's room coming over, and Sydney standing outside the bead curtain muttered something to himself, Mrs. Zhou saw it and said in the house: "What are these two girls carrying behind our backs, a Danyang is like a bird released from a cage all day long, why do we Sydney also learn like this?" ‘

The old lady couldn't help laughing, and Sakura came out laughing and said, "You two don't come into the house quickly, if you can't say anything to your wife?" ‘

When Sydney heard this, she hurriedly turned around and said that she would come, and pulled Danyang up and said with a smile: "Okay, now you don't need me to pass it on, but you can go and tell your wife by yourself." ‘

Danyang smiled and greeted Mrs. Zhou, and then said, "Madam, the uncle asked me to go back and forth to Mrs. Qiao, saying that today is Brother Qiao'er's birthday." ‘

Qingping was standing behind Mrs. Zhou and was also considering whether to talk about it, when she suddenly heard Danyang say it, she was overjoyed, and she only smiled inadvertently: "Exactly, my wife asked me to send my brother and uncle back that day, and I also asked Brother Qiao'er how old he was, saying that he was born on the Qixi Festival, so he gave it such a name." ‘

Mrs. Zhou smiled and sighed: "I can't complain that he has a clever word in his name, which was originally derived from this." It's a shame that you remember, so quickly ask someone to prepare some gifts for my brother and send them to the uncle's house. You also have a good time with your brother on weekdays, don't forget to give him a birthday. ‘

Sydney agreed, so she went up the ladder to the attic, and took a ruler, a carved sandalwood fan, and a chicken-hearted purse. Because Qingping had been prepared, she sent her a long-lived 100-year-old long knot and fell on her purse.

Qiao'er there was crying and laughing because Zhou Fuxiang was clamoring to celebrate his birthday, so he had to sit in the room and be bowed by everyone, and then got up and returned the salute one by one. At this moment, Qingping Sydney came in, and it was a lively place, and she was busy saying hello to her birthday, and offered the birthday gift given by Mrs. Zhou, and Qiao'er had to go to Mrs. Zhou to kowtow and thank you. Thanks to Master Zhou's recent physical discomfort, he fasted and meditated, so as not to be disturbed, or he would have to run over there.

For a while, all the maids ate tea, and when they were laughing after worshipping Shou, people outside came to call, saying that the carriage and horses had been prepared. Qingping and Sydney hurriedly went back to serve Mrs. Zhou, and Zhou Fuxiang also took Qiao'er's hand and said, "Let's go out quickly, I heard that the embroidery conference will be held under the bridge, and the wine shop over there has already booked a private room, so you can rest for a while to eat tea and chat." ‘

Qiao'er Zhengjue was tired after congratulating her birthday, and nodded her head when she heard it. The four big girls of Mingyue Danyang Apricot Blossom and Plum Blossom followed, and there were two little girls holding the felt and other things, and the three or four carriages outside the main gate had stopped properly. Because Zhou Fuxiang was a man and did not walk with his female dependents, Qiao'er took a mule cart with him to go first, and Mingyue Danyang and others made another carriage to follow.

Before they arrived, they heard the noise of gongs and drums under the bridge from a distance, and the colorful embroidery was displayed, which was extraordinarily festive. Qiao'er opened the curtain of the car and looked at it, everywhere was dressed in gold and splendor, although the pedestrians were not very beautiful, but they were also gorgeous, and there were many village aunts and old women. She smiled and lowered the curtain, turned around and said, "Let's not say what its intentions are for this conference, but just see that the people of Hecun are so interested, which is its pride." ‘

Zhou Fuxiang also hurriedly opened the curtain and looked out, because he had been studying at home for a long time, and he had always been out of the house, and rarely came out to play. At this moment, the interest is strong, and there is Qiao'er by his side, he can't help but be very happy, and he is dazzled, and he has never seen Qing'er flash in front of the curtain.

When he arrived at the wine shop, Zheng Yue had already led people to work there, and when he saw him and the maids coming, he hurriedly asked people to avoid the past, and stood outside the door with his head bowed and waited for Mrs. Zhou's carriage and horses to come.

There was a little guy here who lifted the old felt curtain, Zhou Fuxiang took Qiao'er in, and saw that it was one bright and two dark and three rooms, a case against the back wall, a table of eight immortals in front, two chairs, a three-star picture hanging in front of him, and a couplet next to it.

Zheng Yue said with a smile: "Uncle, sit upstairs, be careful that there are many people downstairs and bump into you." ‘

Zhou Fuxiang smiled and nodded, then took Qiao'er upstairs, and when the little maids laid out the green tweed mats, the two sat down and agreed on a plate of big melon seeds, a plate of water chestnuts, a plate of fried beetroot, a plate of shrimp, a plate of fried kidneys and other things. The people who ran the hall hurriedly stepped forward to set up cups and small dishes, put the plates on one after another, served tea, and asked everyone to eat first and wait for Mrs. Zhou and them to come.

Let's say that when Qing'er got there, she saw a small venue like a stage set up in the local area, and dozens of rows of embroidery were brushed around the venue, and the purple and red were elegantly fluttering in the wind. She followed the lively crowd and looked around the venue, just wanting to find the two pictures she had sent.

When it was crowded, someone suddenly came from behind: 'Master Du has arrived. ‘

Everyone turned around and saw a few carriages and horses coming from behind, and those who were guarding the meeting hurriedly went over to lead the horses and pedal, and greeted them in unison. There were also servants and maids in the car who helped Mrs. Du and Miss Du to get out of the car, and everyone talked endlessly.

Qiao'er had heard Qing'er talk about the eldest lady of the Du family, but she hadn't met her and didn't know how she was born. At this moment, I heard the call outside the window, and I hurriedly went out to look, and saw that she was only as old as herself, and although she was dressed gorgeously, it was not as delicate as her own at home, so she retracted her head and still ate the fruit in front of her.

Zhou Fuxiang also saw Miss Du get out of the car, and from a distance, it seemed to be more delicate than at home that day, and he blurted out a sentence of natural beauty. Mingyue was adding water to him, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard it, Zhou Fuxiang was surprised to realize that Qiao'er and the others were also there, and he was embarrassed to get up, coughed a few times to cover up, and asked Qiao'er: 'Is your sister coming today?' ‘

Qiao'er was stunned for a moment before she realized who he was asking, and she was busy saying that her sister was very busy at home, and she didn't like to be lively, so she was afraid that she wouldn't come. Zhou Fuxiang was faintly disappointed when he heard this, but Mrs. Zhou and her party also arrived, went upstairs and only stopped next door to them, and called Qingping to tell the two of them not to go out and run around, Qiao'er and Zhou Fuxiang stood up and said a few yes, and then sat down.

Here Miss Du and Mrs. Du got out of the car and went to the temporary resting shed behind the high platform, where the maids waited and sat down, serving tea and water. Seeing that the audience was crowded, Master Du was extremely proud, and said a few polite words on the stage, before saying: "On that day, I made an appointment with the villagers on the Qixi Festival, and agreed that anyone who is good at embroidery at home will send embroidery in before the Qixi Festival, and after evaluating them one by one, those who have outstanding points will be rewarded with silver ranging from one or two to ten taels. Today, Du Moute came to the appointment, and hung the winners selected for days on this stage, as long as the big guy looks at that one well, he can tick a mark on the corresponding name. We have a special transcription here, and the results will be announced after everyone has chosen, so you can get started. ‘

Everyone in the audience was overjoyed, applause was like a tide, and they were busy squeezing over the high platform. Some people who know their daughter's embroidery will pull people everywhere to hook up their names, and there are also people who are familiar with each other and voluntarily come to the party. Qing'er concealed her grandmother Qiao'er and their come, although she finally found her embroidery, but because of the few hooks and brushes, and did not see the fish play lotus leaves, she couldn't help but be disappointed.

Du Baifang saw her in the shed, with a silent sneer on her face, the flower blooming and wealth was specially hung in a secluded place by her, so that it was easy to see who embroidered it. Now I saw with my own eyes that it was a little girl with a bun, and the unyielding spirit that got up early had been completely replaced by jealousy, and seeing that she was standing there lonely, lonely, he beckoned Ge Xiang and said: 'Go out and tell them, transfer that picture of flowers and wealth to the middle, and give a message to the person who transcribed it, and say what I said, leave the first place for flowers and wealth, and the rest will be at your own convenience.' ‘

Ge Xiang obviously didn't understand what she meant, and hurriedly whispered: "How can this make it, the original embroidery conference is based on their own ability, isn't it cheating for us to do this?" ‘

Du Baifang snorted coldly, squinted at Ge Xiang and said, "This silver is from our Du family, I will give it to whoever I want, where is your share of talking." Moreover, if you just say that the embroidery is good or not, the flowers are rich enough to be called the first. ‘

Ge Xiang laughed once, and Zhiwu said, "Isn't there another picture of a fish playing lotus leaves?" ‘

Du Baifang slammed the clock in his hand on the table and scolded: "I am not your master, you should be my master." ‘

Ge Xiang, who said this, hung his head and was annoyed that he was troubled, and hurriedly went out to order someone to transfer Qing'er's blossom wealth to the middle, and secretly stuffed the benefits to inform Mr. Transcription.

Qing'er was still staring at the moved embroidery and wondering what it meant, but Mr. Transcription had already registered the embroidery in various circles one by one and handed it over to Mr. Du to the public.

Qing'er was anxious to wait below, listening to those names read out of Master Du's mouth one by one, but without his own, he secretly thought that if he said that his skills were not as good as others, he would just be fine, and with Qiao'er's needlework, he should not be selected. Just thinking about it, she suddenly heard a call from above her head Wang Qing'er, she subconsciously agreed, and the people around looked at her when they heard the sound, and saw that it was a cardamom child, and they were full of disbelief.

Qing'er didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly asked the village woman on the side: 'Auntie, who called me?' ‘

The village woman covered her smile and pointed to the stage and said, "Master Du called you, the girl was overjoyed and took a leader." (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
