Chapter Ninety-Two: Secret Deception
A gong sounded, and the last group of embroiderers came on the field.
There are six people in Ling Xiu'er's group. Coincidentally, her number is still next to Qin Lianlian. Lingxiuer No. 28, Gao Lianlian No. 27.
When she came to the stage, Qin Lianlian, who was walking in front, deliberately showed off her gorgeous clothes and the emerald on her head, and she was proud like a big rooster. Ling Xiuer is dressed in a goose-yellow cardigan gown, with a pure face without powder, sunny and youthful, eye-catching.
Especially standing next to Qin Lianlian, who was dressed in cumbersome clothes, she was even more youthful, and her smile attracted the attention of the audience.
People are talking about whose little lady this is, and they have never seen it before.
Qin Lianlian was in the front position, so she naturally heard people's discussions, and she was even more unconvinced. She has already lost to Ling Xiuer in choosing a son-in-law, and the embroidery is even worse than her, and now she is even a head shorter than her if she is dressed appropriately. Qin Lianlian has never been so unbalanced in her heart since she was a child.
At this time, Qin Lianlian happened to see her mother, Mrs. Qin, not knowing what to say in the examiner's ear. Then I saw her look at her, and she made a reassuring gesture.
Qin Lianlian's hanging heart was put down, she looked at Ling Xiu'er proudly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a weird smile.
As soon as Ling Xiu'er finished checking the embroidery tools, she saw the chief examiner bring someone up to take away their embroidery tools, and announced: "In order to increase the interest of the competition, the organizing committee of the competition has agreed that this group of embroiderers should use special embroidery tools to embroider specific topics. ”
As he spoke, the official on the side opened the scroll in his hand, and the word "Mandarin Duck" was written in it. The title of this game is Mandarin Ducks.
The official turned to show the embroidery girls again. Most of the people who came to the competition were the official ladies and the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop, the literacy level of the official ladies naturally did not need to be said, and the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop knew more or less two, but this made Ling Xiuer suffer, she had just learned to write her own name, and the word "mandarin duck" was really difficult for her.
Ling Xiu'er was a little dumbfounded, what are these two words? She couldn't help but look at Cao Yu below and ask for help.
Cao Yu understood, stretched out his arms and made a flying posture.
Ling Xiu'er's face regained some light, it's a bird! But there are many varieties of birds, what kind of bird is this? She looked at Cao Yu sadly again, and shook her head to indicate that she still didn't understand.
Qin Lianlian saw that Ling Xiu'er was slow to put down the needle, and said mockingly: "Ling girl, why don't you embroider, are you illiterate?" ”
Ling Xiu'er caught a glimpse of Qin Lianlian's despicable smile and didn't want her to get her wish, "How is it possible!" I'm ideating. ”
"Hmph." Qin Lianlian snorted coldly, and said, "Miss Ling, you have to hurry up and conceive, a pair of mandarin duck embroidery only needs a stick of incense." ”
"Mandarin ducks?"
Ling Xiu'er keenly caught Qin Lianlian's words leaking.
When Qin Lianlian heard this, she regretted that she had missed her mouth, but she thought about it for a while, and deliberately said enthusiastically: "That's right, isn't the two words given by the examiner 'mandarin duck'?" After speaking, he continued his embroidery with a smile.
Ling Xiu'er muttered here, she was worried that Qin Lianlian would cheat herself, would she kindly tell her the subject? But it's true that mandarin ducks are also breeding birds.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiu'er's eyes shifted to the audience, and she saw Cao Yu holding the purse of the lotus and lip-syncing at her.
And Tillian - Mandarin Duck?!
Ling Xiu'er confirmed that Cao Yu's mouth shape was a mandarin duck, so she embroidered it boldly with confidence.
Ling Xiu'er embroidery has never been like others to hook the edge, she has a pattern in her heart, and she can embroider with her hand.
From the moment it was determined that the topic was mandarin ducks, the picture of two mandarin ducks playing together appeared in Ling Xiuer's mind. All she had to do was shift the image in her mind to the silk cloth.
When embroidering the white eyebrow lines of the male mandarin duck, Ling Xiuer felt that the silk thread was obscure and difficult to use, and when the white eyebrow lines were embroidered, it was obvious that there were no other colors of silk thread.
She picked up the thread and looked at it, and found that it was an old soaking thread, and it was good that it was not torn off when embroidering.
Ling Xiu'er raised her hand to indicate that there was a problem with her silk thread, and the examiner said after reading it: "A good embroidery girl can turn decay into magic, what is a small ball of silk thread?" ”
The implication is that she Lingxiuer is unlucky, and the embroidery cannot be changed.
Isn't it difficult for a good woman to cook without rice?
Ling Xiu'er said that she was unlucky, but when she saw that Qin Lianlian next to her was using a high-grade gold thread, she didn't feel unlucky. She was framed, framed.
Hmph, even the examiner is a group of snobs, and it is estimated that this competition will not be fair.
Ling Xiu'er was indignant, but the game continued, even if the result was released, but the platform was real. However, if the embroidery tools provided by the official are used in the later competitions, won't her plan to make Tian Silk an instant hit will be in vain?
Hiss –
Ling Xiu'er was so distracted that she didn't pay attention to the needle that exploded to her fingertips, causing her to gasp in pain. Seeing the red and bright blood beads on her fingertips, Ling Xiu'er seemed to have been opened up to Ren Du's second vein, how could she forget her special function!
She carefully dipped a little blood on the embroidery. Once this essence blood is stained too much, the mandarin duck will fly out of the silk cloth alive, and she will be more than a yarn!
The white eyebrow lines immediately became bright after absorbing Ling Xiu'er's essence blood, not only the white eyebrow lines, but also the other colors around them were different from just now.
As for the rest of the mandarin duck, Ling Xiu'er put down the embroidery needle in one go before a stick of incense burned out.
"Boom"
The gong that said the end of the competition sounded, and someone came to the stage to accept the works of the embroiderers and present them to the judges for scoring.
In addition to Hu Yuesheng, the owner of the world's first workshop, there are also two weaving masters in the palace, who buy all kinds of fabrics and embroideries for the royal family on weekdays, and their eyes are also very picky.
But these two adults were also reminded by the examiner that No. 27 is An Guogong's daughter, and he has to give face.
In addition to Ling Xiu'er's works, the two adults gave Qin Lianlian's embroidered mandarin ducks high marks.
Hu Yuesheng's eyes lit up when he saw the mandarin ducks embroidered by Ling Xiuer, and he liked it from the bottom of his heart. But seeing the other two so-called "high-score" embroideries, the charming brows furrowed.
"Lord Liu, Lord Gao, is also ten, the embroidery on the 27th and the embroidery on the 28th are more than a little different."
As soon as these words came out, Lord Liu of Jiangning Mansion hurriedly rounded his eyes, "Master Hufang, No. 28 wins in embroidery, No. 27 wins in composition form, each has its own merits, and there is no way to compare it." ”
Lord Liu squeezed his eyes at Lord Gao of the Southern Gongfu as he spoke, and Lord Gao immediately echoed, "What Lord Liu said is, Master Hu, how can you say that this is also the daughter of An Guogong, where can the embroidery be done, isn't it?" ”
"It turned out to be An Guogong's daughter." Hu Yuesheng smiled playfully, and no longer found fault with Qin Lianlian.
