Chapter Seventy-Seven: Fighting in the Nest
The label of "country girl" hit Ling Xiu'er, which made everyone present collapse half of her image. I thought it was a water town embroiderer, but it turned out that the old man in the countryside didn't even understand the rules of etiquette.
Sun's face stiffened, and he spoke to Ling Xiu'er, "A country girl is not a person? Xiu'er is good at embroidery, and people are born with water, and I look forward to giving birth to such a good daughter. ”
"Harm, Mrs. Zhang, you can't say that."
Madame Qin interrupted the Sun family and completely ignored Ling Xiu'er next to her, and said meanly: "Countrymen are just different from us city people, do you remember that last year there was a peasant in the countryside who killed a rich merchant who sold rice, just because the rich merchant bought his chickens at a low price. ”
"Yes, yes, it's terrible that a country man dares to kill someone for a few chickens."
Madame and Lady began to talk nonsense, without mentioning that the rich man would buy the chickens of the peasants at half the market price, and that the peasants would expect the chickens to sell rice for the children for the winter. As a result, the rice was not bought, and the child starved to death. The peasants went to ask for an explanation, but they were beaten out by the rich men, and in their desperation they killed the rich merchants.
The ladies and ladies do not mention these things, they only discuss what is good for them. It's just that after these discussions, everyone is a little more vigilant about Ling Xiu'er, as if Ling Xiu'er will kill them.
"In that case, I'd better go."
Ling Xiu'er didn't want to be angry here, but she didn't turn around, and then someone said, "What are you anxious about?" Haven't shown us your embroidery yet. ”
Oh, these people are still standing and standing.
Sun was also angry, she originally wanted to help Ling Xiu'er broaden her path, but she didn't expect to do bad things with good intentions, so she said: "You all think she is a country girl, and there is no need to look at her again, let her go." ”
Mrs. Qian heard the stiffness in Sun's words, and said with a smile on her face: "Sisters are joking, although she is a country girl, if she is good at embroidery, it is worth it." ”
Obviously, Ling Xiu'er has become a plaything for her pleasure.
Sun still refused, "Forget it, don't dirty everyone's eyes." Xiu'er, you go to my house to rest, and I'll come later. ”
The Sun family began to issue an eviction order, and the lady and the lady showed a look of disdain, probably slandering the Sun family in their hearts. Ling Xiu'er, a "country girl", can be ridiculed as a murderer by them, and Sun's can't become an old goblin who eats children?
Ling Xiu'er didn't want to embarrass the Sun family, and there was no need to be angry with these ladies and ladies who looked down on people, so she took a step back and said, "Ladies and ladies appreciate their faces, then I will play a trick of my own." ”
Ling Xiu'er said as she took out the needlework fabric from the basket, but the basket was not held firmly and fell to the ground. The embroidery that was supposed to be a meeting gift for the ladies and ladies also fell out.
A young lady of cardamom age picked up the handkerchief and exclaimed, "This purse is so well embroidered, it is really lifelike." ”
Then the embroideries on the ground were picked up one after another and transmitted to the hands of the ladies and ladies, seeing the words of praise coming out of their mouths, Sun was not only relieved, but finally helped Ling Xiu'er win back a game.
But Ling Xiu'er didn't think it was a good thing, the country was difficult to change its nature, how could these noble ladies and celebrities suddenly change their minds about themselves?
Sure enough, someone came up with a sentence, "It's good, but it's embroidered by the countrymen, and I'm afraid that I'll get sick on it, so I don't dare to use it." The words fell, and the embroidery was thrown to the ground. Immediately, this action seemed to be contagious, and Ling Xiuer's embroidery was thrown everywhere.
Sun held a money bag in his hand and held back his anger. Her eyes suddenly swept over Ling Xiu'er, and she saw Ling Xiu'er smiling at her, which made Sun even more guilty.
The smile on Ling Xiu'er's face remained sour, how could she not be annoyed by this group of noble ladies who were too bullying! They'll look good later.
Ling Xiu'er took a deep breath and smirked: "Today's weather is hot, I will embroider some five poisons for you to disperse evil qi." ”
"Well, you're a country girl." Mrs. Qin's daughter-in-law had just given birth, and when the time came, she would use the embroidery of the five poisons to make a belly pocket for the child, and it would not cost money.
Ling Xiu'er listened to them as they took a country girl, and smiled even more reluctantly. Seeing this, Sun couldn't help but bow his head in shame, and said in his heart What did he force Ling Xiu'er to be? I will make amends to her later.
Ling Xiu'er shuttled with needlework and thread in her hands, she embroidered well, not only the embroidered things are pleasing to the eye, but even the embroidery process is also comfortable. The embroidery needle in her hand is like a paintbrush in the hand of a painter, every embroidery, the whole will be a little smarter, and when it is completed, a picture of five poisons will appear vividly in front of everyone.
The embroidery is held by the maid for the lady to watch, and the centipede scorpion, which is annoying and frightened on weekdays, is full of blessing in Ling Xiuer's embroidery, and it will be able to bless it from poison when worn on the body.
Mrs. Qin spoke first, "I want this embroidery, this is two taels of silver, enough for you to eat in the countryside for a year." ”
She threw the broken silver into Ling Xiu'er's bamboo basket like a beggar.
Not to mention two taels of silver, even in the cloth village of the Su clan in the county seat, these five poison maps are also worth more than ten taels. Who does Mrs. Qin look down on!
Ling Xiu'er didn't say anything, but asked Mrs. Qin to embroider, "This lady, if you want me to embroider a better one, this picture of the five poisons is too rough, it's better to show it to me." ”
Hearing that there was something better, Mrs. Qin immediately asked her to return the embroidery to Ling Xiu'er.
Ling Xiu'er picked up the handkerchief and showed it inside and out, "Next, I'll play a trick for you, don't blink." ”
She secretly pricked her finger with a needle and drew a circle between her fingers on the map of the five poisons. The five poisons stained with Ling Xiu'er's essence blood gradually became three-dimensional. The ladies and ladies watched and couldn't help holding their breath, for fear that something would make a noise that would not bring the dead back to life.
But when they reacted, scorpions, centipedes, toads, poisonous snakes, and geckos were scurrying at their feet, and the garden was screaming.
Ling Xiu'er still smiled at the corner of her mouth, not afraid of chaos: "Calm down, this is all fake, I have become a trick." ”
But this trick is too real for the ladies and ladies.
The toad lay on Mrs. Qin's feet, so frightened that Mrs. Qin couldn't move, and she didn't move. Especially the poisonous snake, which moved quickly and wrapped around Mrs. Qian's calf, it didn't bite, and just spitting out the letter scared Mrs. Qian into fainting.
It wasn't until Ling Xiu'er caught the five poisons back into the basket that everyone calmed down a little.
Mrs. Qin pointed at Ling Xiu'er's nose and scolded: "You little hooves are deliberate!" Deliberately scare us with these things! ”
Ling Xiu'er was no longer passively beaten, she sneered and retorted, "But these five poisons were embroidered by you you promised me, are you my nursery?" Deliberately scaring everyone? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone cast puzzled glances at Mrs. Qin. Everyone thinks it's just a trick, and in order to confuse people's eyes, the trick often makes the nursery hide in the crowd.
Mrs. Qian was very unhappy, she was really scared to death just now, "Mrs. Qin, you are too joking, and you are deceiving us with this country girl?" ”
Mrs. Qin couldn't say anything about her suffering, so she could only keep explaining.
Ling Xiu'er and Sun glanced at each other, and both of them smiled.
