After breakfast, Ah Xiu went to Lu Wei's yard, and wanted to ask her to go to the embroidery building together, but when she entered the door, she saw a big lantern hanging under the eaves.

It turned out that she still had this lamp, and even the broken places were repaired.

Lu Wei heard that she was going to the embroidery building, so she cleaned up and went out with her soon.

On the way, Ah Xiu also mentioned the matter of the Kuibang Club.

This is the annual competition of the Chamber of Commerce, there will be a lot of businessmen and magnates to watch, the participants are members of the Chamber of Commerce, if you win, you will get the Chamber of Commerce to embroider the world's famous plaque.

The plaque was given by the ancestor emperor, and it will not only enhance the popularity of the embroidery building, but also bring a lot of business, which is a great honor for the people who do the embroidery business.

The Zhuo family, who is in charge, has had five competition experiences and won three plaques.

In addition to displaying the finished product, there is also a link of on-site embroidery, and the judges have members of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as those dignitaries who have been specially invited, which is very grand.

As soon as Lu Wei heard that the competition was so important, she asked about Ah Xiu's plans.

Such an important competition can be played no matter what identity the participants are, but Ah Xiu felt that her skills were no longer as good as Lu Wei, so she planned to let her go.

Lu Wei nodded.

She paints and embroiders in the courtyard every day on weekdays, and she doesn't know much about things outside. But as long as Ah Xiu decides, she will do it.

has been helping the Song family for so many years, she knows that these people have not treated her badly, let alone treated her as a subordinate, and everyone gets along with each other on weekdays as cooperation and friends.

Now my brother and sister-in-law in Linjiang already have two children, and they bought a big house and hired someone to serve them.

If it weren't for the Song family, how could their brother and sister have such an opportunity.

The two went up to the embroidery building for a turn, and then Ah Xiu selected a few embroideries to be used for the day of the competition, and then went back quickly.

In the following days, Ah Xiu would go to Lu Wei's side from time to time to draw a pattern together and use it on the day of the competition.

During this period, all the embroidery buildings and embroidery workshops in Beijing are also making preparations, as long as they can get the plaque, they will have at least one year of peak time, which is very important for each embroidery building.

It was also at this time that Song Tian came back and said that he had begun to write history books, and occasionally entered the palace.

The people of the Hanlin Academy are like this, the official value is not big, but they are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, they often see Tianyan, they have many opportunities, and they rise quickly.

"Brother Tian, you have only just taken office now, don't be in a hurry to perform if you have the opportunity, wait for two more years to gain a firm foothold in the DPRK."

Although Ah Xiu is burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, she can't reach it if she wants to be fast, she understands this truth.

Song Tian has just taken office, and he has not stood in line, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with and reject him, so let's not mention the matter of revenge at present, the most important thing is to be able to stand up.

"I know."

Song Tian put down the book in his hand and looked at the candlestick not far away, from his refusal of Liang Ge Lao's recruitment and the He family's intention to get closer, he knew very well that people on both sides had offended him, but he only did not offend the emperor.

In fact, he didn't tell his family that the atmosphere had changed in the past half a month.

When he rejected those people, he had gone from being sought after by everyone to avoiding suspicion.

The limelight of his new champion is gone, and everyone retreats, just afraid that he will become an outlier by mingling with him, which will cause people on both sides to dislike and cause trouble for no reason.

In fact, Song Tian was not having a good time in the Hanlin Academy during this time, if it wasn't for the emperor's personal order, he wouldn't even have a chance to enter the palace.

Ah Xiu saw that his expression was a little dazed, and asked, "Brother Tian, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong?" ”

Song Tian retracted his gaze and said seriously: "There is something wrong." ”

Ah Xiu stretched her neck, not wanting the man to come over directly, and then reached out and hugged her.

"The lady has worked hard lately, I'll wait for you to bathe."

"Who uses you to serve!" Seeing that everyone in the room had retreated, Ah Xiu pinched the man's arm and said, "Let me go quickly." ”

"Hold on, have you forgotten what day it is?"

"What?"

"The days of the same room ......"

In mid-June, just as Ah Xiu was wholeheartedly preparing for the Kuibang meeting, an urgent report came from the imperial court, and there was a flood in the Sanyin area.

Hu Ke got an opportunity to go out and make contributions, and followed the waiter of the Ministry of Works to disaster relief.

At the same time, Hu Ke's two older brothers arrived from Bayou Town to take over the business for his younger brother.

Hu Ke left, and some people began to sneer at Song Tian behind their backs.

Look, if you don't stand in line, you can't be promoted, and several of the same science and technology jinshi have changed positions, but the new champion is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Song Tian turned a deaf ear, and when he was summoned, he entered the palace, and when he had nothing to do, he made tea and read a book on the desk.

His calm attitude puzzled everyone, and he secretly didn't know who rumored that this person was a dead book, didn't understand officialdom, and had no future at all.

After Hu Ke left, the Kuibang meeting organized by the embroidery merchants in Beijing opened.

This morning, except for Song Tian, who was on duty, the Song family and his party went.

The kuibang will be held in a place called the Red Mansion, which is a two-story mahogany loft that is very famous in Beijing.

Many events and banquets are usually held here, and the venue rental fee is expensive.

It is an old practice to hold a meeting here, and the cost is deducted from the membership fee by the Chamber of Commerce.

When the two carriages of the Song family went to the Red Garden, Shopkeeper Yang was already waiting at the door.

Ah Xiu and Lu Wei got out of the car one after the other, and several people were staying inside, not wanting the sound of horses' hooves, and then they heard a familiar voice shouting: "Master Song." ”

Jiang Boyuan turned over and dismounted, arched his hand to Song Ercai and Chang who turned around, and then smiled at Ah Xiu and Lu Wei.

I didn't expect to meet Jiang Boyuan here, Ah Xiu was a little surprised, and after a while, she saw a silver-haired old lady get off the carriage.

Ah Xiu took a look at that bearing, and thought of it, this person was Mrs. Yu from the Changning Hou Mansion, and it seemed that she was here to participate in today's Kuibang meeting, and Jiang Boyuan was just to accompany her.

Sure enough, the two sides met each other, and Mrs. Yu was very surprised when she heard that the Song family not only had a new champion, but also opened an embroidery workshop, and stood at the door and chatted with a few people.

After a while, Jiang Boyuan accompanied Mrs. Yu in.

Ah Xiu and they also followed behind, going to the private room on the second floor that had been booked in advance.

When going up the stairs, Lu Wei couldn't help but stop and looked at the entrance of the building diagonally opposite.

Seeing that she didn't follow, Ah Xiu also glanced at it curiously, and found that it was the place where the ancestors and grandsons of the Marquis of Changning had left.

I was still speculating before, but now I can basically be sure.

Lu Wei would be very happy if she could find someone she liked, but the Jiang family was obviously not suitable.

Not to mention that the Changning Hou Mansion cannot afford to climb high, and in the future, the Changning Hou will fall, and there are many variables in this.

Moreover, it was obvious that Jiang Boyuan didn't have these thoughts, and when he was at the door just now, he didn't even look at Lu Wei more.
