The one hundred and tenth
Empress Dowager Sun was aroused by her curiosity, and she also wanted her to lose a convincing heart, so she ordered Na Hong Nushi to change into this dress to show everyone what was wonderful.
For a while, Hong Nushi put on that straight jacket and came out, and everyone didn't think there was anything at first glance, and Empress Dowager Sun was about to laugh at Zhou Caiwei a few more words, when she suddenly heard Duchess Wei Guo exclaim: "Oh, this dress doesn't have a seam?" â
Empress Dowager Sun hurriedly asked Hong Nushi to walk up to her, and after a closer look, she didn't see any seams on the straight skirt, but she obviously saw that Caiwei had used scissors and needles and threads this week, why couldn't she find any traces at this time?
Mrs. Dingxi also sighed: "People say that it is seamless, but the old man thought it was just a made-up legend, and he didn't want to be able to see it with his own eyes today!" â
This time, it was Concubine Yingchuan, and she didn't know how Cai Wei conjured up such a seamless "heavenly clothes".
It turned out that as soon as Cai Wei saw the title of this second level, she knew that it was extremely unfavorable to her, and if she wanted to get a rating, she could only temporarily take a Qiao Zong'er. She read a lot of books in her hometown in Meizhou, and she remembers seeing an ancient method of cutting in an ancient book, and with a set of stitches, she can sew a set of "seamless" straight clothes.
She was just out of curiosity, so she took a closer look, because she didn't like needlework, and she hadn't tried it herself, but at this time she was forced to do this, although she didn't know if it could really be so, so she had to try it first. She had been thinking for two quarters of an hour, trying to remember what was written in the ancient book at that time.
Fortunately, she didn't remember the wrong method, and it really worked, and the sewn clothes really deserved the phrase "seamless".
In fact, it is said to be "seamless", how is it possible, but with the help of exquisite tailoring methods, there is only one seam on the whole dress, and it is hidden in a hidden place.
When Empress Dowager Sun saw that she was slapped in the face, she snorted angrily: "This kind of carving insect trick, even if you really make such a garment, it is just a flashy and grandiose thing, and it is not of much use." â
gave Cai Wei a middle review, but the other four main candidates were amazed by this seamless heavenly dress, and they all gave Cai Wei a "top comment".
On this day, none of the fourteen ladies participating in the election could get five "upper comments" from the five main candidates, so Cai Wei's results in the second pass were still among the best, tied for first place with Cao and Jin.
Although Shun lĂŹ passed the first two levels, Cai Wei was a little worried about the next third level, since the Duchess of Wei Guo came up with a question to test the female popularity, then the next Mrs. Dingxi Hou should not test their cooking skills, right?
The girls of the Yan and Qin Dynasty, whether they are the daughters of high-ranking families or the daughters of ordinary people, have two skills that must be learned when they are children, one is a female celebrity, and the other is cooking.
It's just that most of the female celebrities learned by poor girls are mainly sewing and weaving, but they don't have the spare money to buy silk threads and go to embroider slowly like a young lady.
As for cooking, the daughters of commoner families can make meals as long as they can cook dishes, while the ladies of the Gaomen Guijue's family must not only know how to cook and know the methods of various famous dishes, but also be able to taste the raw materials used in each dish, such as tasting a piece of meat, not only to be able to tell whether it is chicken or duck, but also to taste whether it is chicken breast or duck leg, and whether the seasoning used is pepper or pepper.
If Cai Wei's female celebrity is barely able to get her hands on it, then her cooking skills are completely out of her hands, her mother went early, and her father didn't like this way of raising his daughter at all, so he didn't ask anyone to teach her how to eat and not get tired of eating.
Therefore, Cai Wei can only cook a few simple dishes, and can taste the difference between chicken and duck, and can no longer be.
She is also like a god this time, and the next day the topic of Mrs. Xihou is to test the cooking skills of all the ladies.
In fact, the question of Mrs. Dingxi Houtai is not very difficult, and it is extremely fair, and there is no need for each of them to cook their own best dish for the five main candidates to taste, each of whom has different tastes, and naturally the comments given will be very different.
Therefore, this time, on the table in front of the fourteen ladies is a glaze red four seasons flower pattern rhombic flower mouth plate, which contains a few chopsticks and can't tell what it is.
I listened to Mrs. Dingxi Houtai said: "This dish is my mother's secret, although it is a little troublesome to make, it takes dozens of things to match it, it takes a lot of effort, but after it is done, it only needs to be sealed tightly in a porcelain jar, and when you want to eat, take it out, and mix it with sesame oil." â
"Please also ask the ladies to try the craftsmanship of the old body, and see what kind of vegetables this dish is made of, and write the name of the vegetable on the paper, only one is allowed, and a stick of incense is limited to a time."
When the ladies heard it, they only had to say what kind of dish it was made of, and they didn't need to say the other ingredients, and suddenly felt that this question was too simple, how many delicacies and special dishes they had tasted every day, and they couldn't taste what the things on this plate were made of? It seems that this time I will definitely be able to get a review back.
As a result, when the first bite was finished, the expressions on the faces of the women were a little strange, and they hurriedly took the second chopsticks and put them in their mouths, chewing them carefully, but they still couldn't taste what they were made of.
For this question, all the ladies waited until the incense was about to burn out before hurriedly scribbling an answer on the paper.
Since even those young ladies who have been taught for more than ten years can't taste this dish, Cai Wei naturally can't taste that it is made of a dish, and seeing that the time limit for a stick of incense has arrived, she also casually wrote the name of a dish on the paper and presented it.
When Mrs. Dingxi said that the name of this dish was eggplant, which was made of peeled eggplant with chicken breast, mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried curd, and various dried fruits, all the ladies had an urge to drop the plate.
This is actually an eggplant, who has ever eaten this kind of eggplant that doesn't even have the slightest eggplant flavor? Even those who have been to Dingxi Houfu as a guest have never tasted this "chic" eggplant, and Mrs. Dingxi Houtai doesn't want people to pass the test, right?
The ladies suddenly felt that the question of Mrs. Dingxi Hou was even more difficult than the question of the Empress Dowager Sun the day before. But after thinking about it, since everyone wrote the answer at the last minute, most people didn't know that this dish was made of eggplant, and everyone couldn't even get a rating, and everyone's ranking was still the same as before, and they were not afraid that someone would surpass them.
No, although they couldn't taste the eggplant, among the fourteen answers, there was a young lady who was extremely lucky, so only the young lady of the An Shilang family took a "upper comment" in these three levels, and the other thirteen ladies didn't even have a lower evaluation.
This Miss An is also an honest person, when Mrs. Dingxi asked her if she had tasted this eggplant before, she honestly said that she had not tasted it, because she loved to eat eggplant, so she wrote an eggplant on paper, not wanting to be wrong.
Although the women were jealous of Miss An's good luck, because she had never won a previous evaluation, the top ladies didn't take her to heart, and everyone was thinking that there would be some unexpected questions in the fourth level.
Early the next morning, when Cai Wei went to the second door to take the sedan chair after dinner, she saw Yifei standing at the head of the door, staring at her intently, and when she got closer, she suddenly smiled and said: "Cousin Zhou, my cousin must be careful and careful at this level today, but don't even get a lower evaluation, the ranking will fall behind my sister!" Hahahaha......"
Cai Wei saw that she was so arrogant again, so she knew that Mrs. Zuo Xiang must have made some tricks on the topic of this level, and Yi Fei must have known what this topic would be, so she had the courage to show off to herself.
In fact, this time, Cai Wei also guessed which of the women's talents Mrs. Zuo Xiang would test, virtue, female popularity, and cooking skills have all been tested, and the rest of the things that women can learn are only the "women's four arts" that have become popular in recent years.
Zhou Caiwei thought about the niece of Mrs. Zuo Xiang, who "loved" to play the piano and married to Uncle Anyuan's mansion, so she guessed that Mrs. Zuo Xiang would most likely have problems related to the piano.
As soon as the opening scene, she invited a pianist to sit in the middle of the hall and stroke the piano for everyone.
After the pianist finished soothing the song, Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "People say, 'The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu', it can be seen that if someone plays the wrong tune, this person who is proficient in the art of the piano will be able to hear it." I don't know if the ladies can hear which tune Shao Qinshi is playing? Why did I choose that piece and what is the meaning of the title? What's wrong with that song? â
This is the question of the fourth level today, all three questions can be answered, two questions can be evaluated, and one question can be evaluated. I also asked the ladies to write the answers on the flower paper, and the time limit is also a stick of incense. How about it, the question I came up with is the same as the question made by Mrs. Dingxi Hou yesterday, which avoids the subjective views of our five main candidates, which is both just and fair? â
