Chapter 158: Preparing for the Gift

"Speaking of which, in the past two years, there have been a lot of noble ladies and ladies who have folded in this gift drama, before Cheng Xiaowangye pretended to be a woman and danced alone in front of the Qinglou in Liumei Garden, and then there was a Qiling woman pretending to be a man, carrying more than ten gold bars to swagger through the market, and pleading guilty to King Xuan! But if the number is the hardest, I am afraid that it is still the little son Xie in Xie Bo's mansion last year, who was punished to cook porridge for the monks of the whole temple in Jiuliquan Temple outside the city for three days. ”

"These are just some sensational exceptions, and the remaining seven steps into a poem and eight steps into a song are even more numerous!"

Qi Niang's heart was tumbling, and she hurriedly asked: "How is the selection of birthday gifts carried out during the period?" Is it true that each of the participating visitors chooses the best and the most inferior? ”

If it is based on the so-called modern principles of fairness, impartiality and non-disclosure, then this should be the case.

She is the daughter of General Changfeng, and recently due to illness, she has been rewarded by the emperor and the queen mother, and she doesn't have to think about it to know that her favored reputation has long been spread in the imperial capital.

No, she's still afraid!

The rules of the game are not yet clear, and there are all kinds of festivals with the county lord of Qiling before, and she Su Muli has to be afraid!

It's okay to make a fool of yourself, but when she goes back to the imperial capital, she makes a big joke, so ...... How ugly!

I don't know how to be caught up in the well by a villain like Wang Erniang! No, she can't lose!

Qi Niang made up her mind. He looked at Murong Qin even more dumbfoundedly.

Murong Qin said: "Although Qi Ling is the status of the county lord, but that dignity and grace are only incomparable to many serious princesses, her birthday is extremely lively every year, not to mention thousands of guests, there must be hundreds, everyone votes, it will take many days to get results?"

"The birthday gift is just to add some fun, just a smile on the birthday star, it won't be so fair at all, and the specific rules are not fixed, and some big guys choose a few more valuable ones to choose. Some are the birthday stars themselves. After all, the hero's liking is the key.,So ...... Ah Qi ......"

Speaking of which, there is no need to listen to the next words, Qi Niang also knows that she will die a miserable death!

A person as arrogant as the county lord of Qiling. Even if someone else comes to run. I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape being punished!

What to do?

Is it okay not to go?

Malinger. Stomach ache, headache, fever......

No way. She hasn't been here for a few days, and pretending to be suspicious again, besides, she has been sick in the past two days, and she is so anxious to see her grandmother and grandmother, even the princess and aunt have reduced a lot, she can't let her relatives suffer with herself!

I can't go there for a while!

For example, for the diagnosis and treatment of Emperor Mu?

No, not to mention that the old man is now in good health, recovering as before, and can eat and drink very well, just because he used him as a gunman last time, he is already very unhappy, how can he open this mouth this time?

Besides, now in a small rural place like Dibu than Cen Zhou, his words and deeds will fall into the palace at any time, what if he is found to be acting with the old emperor? If the old emperor is ill again and is remembered by the Queen Mother, how should he lie?

Hey, we're not close to each other, and we just quarreled again, what kind of invitation did you send me to the county lord of Qiling!

It's really a big deal!

Qi Niang couldn't sit still anymore, and said "very urgent", so she rushed directly to the door, but she didn't want to be stopped by Murong Qin immediately.

Qi Niang is now turning over the river and the sea in her heart, how can she have any intention to listen to anything else, she is thinking about refusing, and she doesn't want the person behind her to have opened her mouth.

"There are still a few days, and it's still too late to ask your girl to embroider a pair of double-sided embroidery."

"Ah Qin will also go that day, don't be afraid!"

Qi Niang didn't know how she got out of Ximen Courtyard and how she got back to the palace, but she only knew that although she was still in a hurry, her heart was like overturning a honey jar, sweet.

After thinking about it, she decided to come up with her own trick - double-sided embroidery!

Mother-in-law Dusty inquired clearly, I heard that some time ago, at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, Xuanwu Yicheng won the laurel again with a pair of double-sided embroidered beauty screens, and Mo Guifei ranked second with a pair of double-sided embroidered longevity brocade, after she listened, she was even more determined to send double-sided embroidery!

Originally, she didn't want to be so ostentatious, firstly, she had already made it public that a group of mysterious embroiderers from Cenzhou Yujinfang had created this secret technique, and secondly, she didn't want to give birth to these incidents, although she didn't say that she deliberately kept her head in obscurity, but at least it was in line with the principle of not causing trouble, so after arriving in the imperial capital for such a long time, she only gave Mu Jiu's doll a double-sided embroidered handkerchief, saying that it was double-sided embroidery, but it was just embroidering a double-sided embroidery in each of the four corners of the ink pear, but the girl liked it very much.

She originally thought that before leaving the imperial capital one day, she would embroider some more for her grandmother, aunt and aunt, and aunt, so she kept secretly asking Banxiang to prepare it.

But now that she has such a birthday like a feast, she can't care so much!

In any case, it is very good to prepare this birthday gift, even if there is a villain at that time, she will let those who participate have to praise the gift she prepared in the future!

Of course, there was also Ah Qin that day, as long as her gift was good enough, I don't think it would be won by the villain!

Qi Niang suddenly felt full of confidence, and as soon as she returned home, she plunged into her small yard and asked Banxiang to take out the finished products she had embroidered in her spare time these days.

She remembered that at that time, she also instructed Banxiang to use the silk thread spit by the willow wing silkworm in the south, in order to make this forehead with no embroidery imprint, a total of three, one for grandmother, one for grandmother, and one for the princess's aunt.

The red Suzhou and Hangzhou silk, with gold thread on both sides of the outline of the big peony and the blooming peony, the embroidery method is concise, but lifelike, a total of two handkerchiefs, is ready to give to the eldest aunt and the second aunt.

There were also three handkerchiefs, one tender green. One pink, one lake blue, a month of white, have not yet started to embroider, Qi Niang knows, this is what she explained to the four ladies of the Wang family, and before she could see Wang Erniang's face, she had already let Banxiang prepare.

Look at her kindness!

Qi Niang sighed and waved her hand, none of this works!

Handkerchiefs and handkerchiefs are small objects, even if the double-sided embroidery on the top is exquisite. I'm afraid that I will also be ridiculed for being "little family"!

But time is running out. In addition, today is only six days in total, that is, let Banxiang have been locked in the house without eating, drinking or sleeping to embroider fiercely, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to embroider any screens and the like!

What's good to embroider?

It can't be too small, and if it's small, it won't exist. It can't be too big. It's too big to embroider. can't be too gaudy and old-fashioned, the county lord of Qiling is just a little girl who is a few days older than himself, if it is put in modern times. Isn't it a little junior high school student who has a pigtail, is a small schoolbag, grabs a lollipop, and doesn't know anything?

can't be too innovative, think about her, a royal child who came out of the mountains of gold and silver, she has never seen any good things since she was a child, and she has never eaten anything delicious, but she is afraid that the eyes and mouth are not ordinary poison!

So, she has to be like a little girl's thing, preferably bigger, simpler and easier to embroider, but also new!

Hey, it's so hard!

Qi Niang sighed again, and scared the waiting Banxiang beside her to the heart.

She mustered up the courage to say: "Lady, Yi Nuwen has practiced her craft for so long, and she can barely embroider a screen in the past six days......"

Banxiang didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, she remembered the painting that was taken away by His Royal Highness King Xuan last time, if it was such a double-sided embroidery painting, she would have enough time for six days!

But recently, no one in the Lanting Courtyard dared to mention His Royal Highness King Xuan, and they didn't know why.

Qi Niang was distressed, she didn't know what this girl was thinking, she waved her hand, and said: "Don't embroider that screen, it's always embroidered, it's not a little new, let's embroider a fun one this time!"

"Banxiang, six days, are you sure about embroidering such a big doll?" Qi Niang said while drawing with her hand, Banxiang looked at it about the size of the octagonal prism mirror on the dressing table, she thought about it and nodded firmly.

Although I don't know what the lady wants to embroider, but with that size, even if it is difficult, she will do her best to embroider it.

Qi Niang suddenly smiled, clapped her hands, praised Banxiang vigorously, and finally stood up and hugged the girl.

So when Granny Chensu and Chu Qing came in, what they saw was that the master was not like a master and a servant.

Granny Chensu's face immediately darkened.

The difference flashed in Chu Qing's eyes, the last time she inquired about the news was completed quickly, Su Qi Niangzi also hugged her as soon as she was happy, and she still remembered the smile in the lady's eyes, as if it was pouring out from the bottom of her heart, so pure and brilliant, even if she Chu Qing couldn't help but soften her eyebrows, she still remembered the feeling of being held, a little strange, but the tip of her heart was warm.

In the following days, Qi Niang began the days called "Retreat and Closed Country", in addition to eating and sleeping all day long, it was to accompany her grandmother and grandmother to grow vegetables and chat, and she wholeheartedly prepared the birthday gift of the lord of Qiling with Banxiang, one tirelessly painted, and one repeatedly asked and embroidered.

There are also Chu Qing and Granny Chensu, the two of them were busy looking for materials in the major shops in the imperial capital, and almost turned around the imperial capital.

But no one in the mansion knew what kind of birthday gift Su Muli was preparing, even Old Madam Su was very curious, let alone the second lady Wang who had her eyes on Lanting Courtyard.

Yesterday, the county lord of Qiling began to ask her what kind of gift Su Qi prepared, but she secretly inquired around, half of the subordinates didn't know, and the other half of the subordinates had never heard of it. She sent people to follow the two subordinates who frequently went out of the house, but the legs of the little servants were about to break, and they couldn't keep up. In the end, it was Princess Anqing's aunt who leaked her mouth, "Qi Niang has been very busy lately, I'm afraid I won't have time to eat your uncle's good tea." ”

It turned out that Su Qi's girl had just started to prepare for her birthday!

She excitedly passed the news to the county lord of Qiling, and when she heard the little guy who came back from the letter, the county lord was also very happy to see it!

How can you be unhappy, it is only four days away from her birthday, no matter how powerful she Su Qi is, how can the things she prepared in a hurry be compared with the gifts prepared by Jing Xin, and even if she is not bad, she will make her the most inferior birthday gift!

Thinking about what happened to Su Qi at that time, Wang Erniang finally swept away the anxiety that had been in place for many days, and her face was full of pride! (To be continued......)
