Chapter Seventy-Nine: Shang Qiu, Long Time No See
"This embroidery is ......" Luo Xue looked at the embroidery in front of her and felt a little surprised, this embroidery is probably the most exquisite embroidery Luo Xue has seen after seeing Cui Ying's embroidery. Surrounded by flowers, looking at the original picture, the colorful messy patterns are embroidered like this little by little, which is really amazing. And in such a short period of time, so many petals were embroidered, each petal was embroidered very delicately, compactly, you can see the power of the owner of this embroidery.
"It's mine!"
Before Luo Xue could make any comments on the embroidery, a voice interrupted her words, Luo Xue turned her head to look at Shang Qiu, who was a little arrogant, still with a faint smile on her face, and did not say that her face changed because Shang Qiu interrupted her words so eagerly and rudely.
Shang Qiu stood in front of her embroidery, raised her head slightly, feeling the eyes of envy or jealousy on her, Shang Qiu's face seemed to be indifferent, but the pride in her eyes could not be hidden. Eagerly interrupting Luo Xue's words, eager to tell others that this embroidery was her masterpiece, it made the calm on her face at this time become a little overshadowing.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Shangqiu's embroidery! It is worthy of being the best embroiderer in the capital, and such a meticulous stitch is really amazing. Luo Xue smiled and nodded in admiration, this is not fake, although Shang Qiu's character is not very good, but her embroidery is indeed a must.
"Sister, Shang Qiu's works are not just like what they see!" Luo You said with a smile on the side, as if he was explaining to Luo Xue.
"Oh? Anything else? Luo Xue asked suspiciously, in fact, she was also puzzled, if Shang Qiu was just a little more meticulous in the stitches, it would be impossible to get the title of the first embroidery girl in the capital, but Luo Xue really didn't see where the strangeness of this embroidery was. It's no wonder that she doesn't know embroidery, if no one says it, people who don't know it are indeed not easy to find the strangeness of embroidery.
Luo You looked at Luo Xue and smiled, Luo Xue knew that she was not dazzled, she did see a little ridicule in Luo You's eyes, Luo Xue chuckled in her heart, this Luo You was laughing at her for not seeing the world! But Luo Xue doesn't care, if she doesn't know, she doesn't know, and no one knows anything, there are always places that you don't know and don't know.
"Sister, you should also let your Cangwang Ye go out, don't always stay in Cangwang's Mansion, you don't know anything outside, and you have to hold back your illness if you stay in one place all the time." Luo You squinted with a smile, and said it sarcastically, saying that Prince Cang spoiled Concubine Xue, but she just didn't believe it, look, although Shang Qiu's reputation is not world-famous, but in this capital place, I'm afraid there are few people who don't know, so where her embroidery is is almost a household name, but Luo Xue doesn't know, it's really funny!
The smile on Luo Xue's face also expanded a little, seeing that Luo Xue was laughing so happily after listening to other people's ridicule, everyone had to think that this Xue Concubine Niangniang was not stupid.
Luo Xue looked at Luo You, there was a touch of blush on her face, and everyone was inexplicable, and then Luo Xue's words let everyone know why Luo Xue was like this, Luo Xue smiled quite 'shyly' and said, "Sister, I also want to go out of the Cangwang Mansion to see, but the prince said that if he wasn't by my side, he wouldn't let me out of the palace, saying that he was not at ease!" ”
Luo Xue paused, her eyes looked at Sikong Cangling intentionally or unintentionally, and when she met Sikong Cangling's gaze at her, Luo Xue hurriedly turned her head and said shyly, "But sister, you also know that the prince has been busy with business recently, and I can't let the prince bother!" ”
The smile on Luo You's face froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment, he tightened the silk scarf in his hand, and Luo You continued, "Hehe, the relationship between my sister and Lord Cang really makes my sister envious!" He smirked twice, "Sister, if you flip this embroidery of Shang Qiu over and take a look, you will know where her embroidery is excellent." ”
In fact, Luo Xue found that what is the biggest advantage of Luo You, that is, the ability to change the topic is particularly strong, and Luo Xue has to say that he admires it. When Luo Xue heard this, she didn't continue to drink Luo You's entanglement in the topic just now, as Luo You's words shifted the focus, and when she looked at Sikong Cangling just now, she couldn't deny it, her heart beat faster, especially when she looked at him, Luo Xue couldn't understand the content of his eyes, but subconsciously, she wanted to get closer.
After calming down, Luo Xue was the first to pinch off the unrealistic feelings just now, some things can't be easily touched, Luo Xue doesn't think she has the courage to try something, she is not a generous person, and even she is stingy with some things, if she wants to accept it, then it must be her alone, and she can't accept it at all.
Luo Xue smiled lightly, "Oh? Really? Luo Xue asked rhetorically with some doubts, and then in everyone's gaze, her hand like condensed fat gently turned the embroidery board over, and she couldn't help but be surprised when her eyes touched the other side.
The reverse side of the embroidery is also a perfect embroidery pattern, and a careful comparison of the embroidery on both sides can be found that the embroidery on both sides is exactly the same, if it is different, it is the opposite direction. Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the 'Su embroidery' in another era, and the double-sided embroidery of Su embroidery seems to be the same! It seems that even after a change of time and space, some things still haven't changed much.
Seeing that Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, the mocking arc on Luo You's mouth deepened a little, Luo Xue is a good-for-nothing woman, why can she marry Sikong Cangling! And seeing Luo Xue like this, Shang Qiu was even more arrogant in her heart, such embroidery can only be embroidered by her now, but she can't help but be a little unwilling, in fact, she hasn't finished learning this kind of double-sided embroidery, there are some, and there are some she hasn't learned yet, thinking of this, Shang Qiu is scared again, if those people find themselves......
Luo Xue came back to her senses and saw everyone looking at her with all kinds of eyes, Luo Xue smiled and shook her head, "Hehe, Shang Qiu's embroidery is indeed extraordinary, and he can embroider such a superb work." Although she said this, there was not much surprise in her eyes, which inevitably made Luo You think that she was just pretending to be calm.
When the time comes, I see what her maid embroiders, hum! Luo You didn't think Luo Xue's maid would be so powerful, she was better than Luo Xue in everything since she was a child, no matter what she wanted to get, there was almost nothing she couldn't get, and Luo Xue happened to be the opposite of her, Luo Xue had to rely on herself to get everything she wanted, and the price she paid was even more immeasurable.
But there is one thing that Luo Xue won against her, and let her lose a defeat, and her face was lost, which made her linger, and she felt extremely resentful every time she thought about it, that is, Sikong Cangling, Luo Xue replaced her and became Sikong Cangling's side concubine, and Sikong Cangling also personally asked the emperor to give Luo Xue a title, that is, Luo Xue's status is not much worse than that of King Cang's concubine, and all this should have belonged to her Luo You.
"If nothing else, I think Shang Qiu's work is the best among so many embroideries." After Luo Xue said this, she didn't follow, and jumped directly to the next embroidery, regardless of what everyone thought.
Shang Qiu originally wanted to hear what Luo Xue could endure to say, but Luo Xue's tepid words ended and then there was no next sentence, making Shang Qiu only feel like a peach kernel stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
Then more than a dozen embroideries looked at the past, all of which made people a little interested, and after seeing Shang Qiu's embroidery, and then looking at the others, they all felt that there was nothing to see. Looking at everyone's expressions, Shang Qiu only felt very happy and complacent, with a somewhat arrogant smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was the one who stood out from the crowd.
Luo Xue only felt that she was very ridiculous, no matter how well the embroidery was embroidered, she was just a little girl, at the mercy of others, just a small tool in the hands of others. She has nothing to do with anything but embroidery, but she is just a woman who is good for nothing but embroidery.
Luo Xue is a pragmatist, she doesn't like these gorgeous things that have no practical effect, what is the effect of being good-looking, can it allow people to save people from fire and water in the moment of life and death? Obviously not. Luo Xue's life used to be almost hovering on the edge of life and death, and being able to live is the biggest expectation, she doesn't need those flashy ones, and it is better to give her a thick winter coat than to wear gorgeous clothes. Don't say that she doesn't understand art or taste, she just sees through it.
Look at the embroidery one by one, there are still a lot left, Luo Xue is tired of seeing everyone, she herself does not have much interest in continuing to read, so she said, "This palace looks at everyone is a little tired, to tell the truth, everyone's level is very different, they are all women from everyone's background, naturally it will not be bad anywhere, everyone, if it is not as good as this, and those who are interested, continue to watch, if you are tired, go to the side to rest for a while, after a stick of incense, we will pick ten embroidery pictures that you think are the best for everyone to visit, You can bring the rest back with you, or you can stay in Luofu and let Luofu handle it. ”
After Luo Xue finished speaking, she saw some of the ladies nodding impatiently, it seemed that they were all people who didn't want to continue to spend time, but they didn't dare to withdraw because Luo Xue and Luo You were there. After all, although embroidery is a skill that Mo Liu's women must know, there are very few who really like it.
Legend has it that the reason why the women of the Moliu Kingdom must learn embroidery is because the first Moliu Emperor drove the expedition in person, and it was the heavy snow weather, and the soldiers were hungry and cold.
Although embroidery and sewing are two different things, but because most of the women who made winter clothes for the soldiers at that time were actually only able to embroider and not sew, but the stitching method was the same, so it was much easier to learn to sew, embroidery from which time to become the women of Moliu must learn, after all, embroidery can be used as a pastime for those young ladies and ladies on weekdays, and sewing, hehe, how can there be so many clothes for people to sew on weekdays.
Luo Xue looked at everyone and nodded, then turned to Luo You again, "Sister said this is good?" ”
Luo You nodded in agreement, Luo Xue said so, can she still say badly, she doesn't want to be the target of public criticism and be disgusted.
Luo You nodded, and the daughters either went to rest together, or continued to look at the embroidery together, and they seemed to be quite interested, but this had to exclude those who didn't like it, but gritted their teeth in order to maintain their image. Luo Xue smiled, she was really persistent, anyway, she didn't want to continue.
"Sister, I'm going to rest, you should go and rest too!" Luo Xue smiled at Luo You, as if she said hello, Luo You nodded to her, and then Luo Xue turned around and walked directly towards Sikong Cangling.
Sikong Cangling was still drinking cup by cup, Luo Xue walked over and glanced at him, "Lord Wang, I see that you have been drinking and have not stopped, are you not afraid of getting drunk?" After speaking, he sat down next to Sikong Cangling, also raised the wine glass and pecked lightly, just drank a glass and was about to pour the second cup, only to remember that she didn't stop drinking like this, wouldn't it be the same as Sikong Cangling? Thinking about it, he stopped and continued to pour the wine, and sat quietly on the side.
Sikong Cangling didn't pay attention to Luo Xue's movements, but said inexplicably, "This king doesn't know that the relationship between this king and Concubine Xue is already so deep. As he spoke, he didn't stop drinking, nor did he turn his head to look at Luo Xue, as if he was talking to himself.
When Luo Xue heard this, she was still smiling lightly, but suddenly froze for a moment, Sikong Cangling had no emotion in this sentence, and Luo Xue couldn't guess what emotion he was, but with the current cooperative relationship between the two, Luo Xue subconsciously thought that Sikong Cangling was mocking, laughing at her incompetence, and laughing at her self-righteousness. I don't know why, Luo Xue suddenly felt a little bored when she thought of Sikong Cangling's disdain for her.
Could it be that the influence of this body on me has not disappeared? Luo Xue thought secretly in her heart.
How much Luo Xue loved Sikong Cangling Luo Xue could know from memory, so after that, she analyzed a series of abnormal reactions to Sikong Cangling, thinking that it should be this body's unconscious dependence on Sikong Cangling, she knew that she was affected by something, so this time she automatically attributed this to this.
"Come and see, this embroidery is so beautiful!"
Luo Xue was thinking wildly, and suddenly one of those people who was still admiring the embroidery suddenly called out in surprise, she had completely forgotten that she was still a lady, and she had forgotten all the etiquette she had learned in the past, Luo Xue thought secretly.
Luo Xue got up and looked over, they automatically made way for Luo Xue and Luo You, Luo Xue and Luo You stepped forward, when they saw this painting, Luo You and Luo Xue couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock, this embroidery ......
Luo Xue subconsciously looked at Cui Ying, and after seeing Cui Ying's expression that was not surprised, Luo Xue knew what was going on, but she couldn't connect Cui Ying with them.
Shang Qiu also stepped forward after hearing people's exclamations, she only felt that these eldest ladies were really making a fuss, what embroidery could surprise them like that, she didn't think that there would be anyone's embroidery that could catch up with her, so she couldn't help but scoff at their reactions. But when she saw it, she was all in place, and her heart was filled with fear. She looked at the embroidery in horror and lost the ability to speak.
Cui Ying under the veil hooked her red lips and looked at Shang Qiu with a frightened face, so many years, Shang Qiu, long time no see.
