Chapter Seventy-Five: The Contest (2)
Gu Zheng's best thing in her previous life was cross-stitch, and she even once embroidered a three-meter-long cross-stitch! Therefore, after realizing that the insole was just a pediatric for her, Gu Zheng immediately responded quietly: "Compare it." β
After speaking, Gu Zheng took the lead in making a move, and Cen Sanniang was not to be outdone when she saw it, and quickly followed.
It's just that Gu Zheng has never accepted insoles before, and this is the first time to embroider cross-stitch in ancient times, so she was still a little unaccustomed to it at first, and she couldn't complete it independently for a while, so she had to take the insoles that Cen Sanniang had thrown to her before...... This made Cen Sanniang, who peeked at her from time to time, suddenly have a certain grasp of victory, and the movements in her hands were also deliberately full of tricks and showed a very skillful appearance.
And Gu Zheng awkwardly accepted the insole of Cen Sanniang for a long time, and only then did he slowly become proficient, and the movements in his hands gradually became much faster than at the beginning.
The two competed for about two hours, and Cen Sanniang took the lead in putting away the needle and proudly announced: "I've taken it!" β
The onlookers subconsciously looked at Gu Zheng after hearing this, and saw that Gu Zheng had just finished the best few needles, and was unhurriedly knotting the needles. In other words, Gu Zheng and Cen Sanniang put the insoles almost at the same time, but I don't know who has the better insoles of the two......
Of course, for the final result, Cen Sanniang can be said to be in the chest, and I saw that she took the lead in generously handing her own insoles to the sisters for appraisal. After Cen Siniang and the others carefully looked at Cen Sanniang's insole, they all praised Cen Sanniang as Cen Sanniang expected, saying that Cen Sanniang's craftsmanship was even better than before.
Cen Sanniang was even more proud when she heard this, and in order to win Gu Zheng impatiently, she immediately urged again and again: "Okay, it's your turn!" Hurry up and bring us your insole! After a few sisters and sisters have seen you, you will know whether you win or lose this competition immediately! β
Gu Zheng was not stage frightened at all, he still knotted the silk thread unhurriedly, and then held the scissors to cut off the threads one by one, and only after cutting them did he hand the insoles in his hand to Cen Wuniang for appreciation...... And Cen Wuniang just took it and glanced at it, and was immediately surprised, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and glance at Gu Zheng, and saw that Gu Zheng was secretly winking at her, she knew that Gu Zheng was also in her chest from beginning to end, and had the same superb skills as Cen Sanniang!
However, Cen Wuniang was also willing to look at the always conceited Cen Sanniang, so she deliberately pointed to Gu Zhengna's insole, and exclaimed loudly to attract the attention of the other sisters: "I didn't expect Sister Wanwan's craftsmanship to be so good, and the insoles she put out are no worse than the third sister!" Wrong! I see that the crooked sister is a little better than the third sister! β
Although Cen Siniang on the side looked down on Cen Sanniang, the twin sister, she had always protected Cen Sanniang in front of outsiders, so as soon as she heard Cen Wuniang's words, she immediately reached out and snatched Gu Zhengna's insole, and after taking a closer look, there was a little more surprise in her eyes......
However, Cen Wuniang quickly suppressed the accident, and pretended to say lightly: "Fifth sister's eyesight is really poor, can Gu Zhengna's insoles be compared with Sanniang?" Sanniang's is obviously much better than Gu Zhengna's! β
Cen Siniang said that she didn't forget to pull Cen Liuniang into the water, glared and asked, "Sixth sister, do you think what I said is right?" Is Sanniangna's insoles better than Gu Zhengna's? β
As soon as Cen Liuniang was named by Cen Siniang, a nervous look immediately appeared on her face, and she couldn't even speak: "I...... I don't know, the insoles of the third sister and the bent sister, I look at them...... All good! β
Cen Liuniang's neutrality made Cen Siniang glare at her with a dissatisfied face, but after she saw Cen Erniang who was sitting in the corner reading a book and did not participate in the onlookers, she came to Cen Erniang with two insoles: "Second sister, you come and judge us!" Which of these two insoles is good? β
Cen Erniang was so noisy that Cen Siniang couldn't help it, so she could only raise her eyes and glance at the two insoles lightly, and commented without being salty: "No matter how good or low." β
Cen Wuniang didn't wait for Cen Siniang to speak, so she answered excitedly: "The second sister means that the third sister and the bent sister have a draw!" It's still fair for the second sister, I think it's good to have a good result, which not only allows us to see the craftsmanship of the third sister and the bent sister, but also doesn't let the two of them hurt the harmony between the sisters. β
This needle girl is Cen Sanniang's best job, but she never expected that one of her best jobs would only be a draw with Gu Zheng!
This result made Cen Sanniang a little unacceptable and unconvinced, and for a while she sarcastically sarcastically mocked Gu Zheng: "I really shouldn't have picked an insole to compete with Gu Zheng!" Gu Zheng used to be just a flat-headed commoner, and he must have to often use his own insoles to buy insoles, which will naturally make perfect if he has more! β
"What kind of daughter like me, learning this craft is just to make two or three pairs of good ones, and we don't have to live on ourselves, such rough work has our own maids to do...... In this way, I can take less than her, and it is normal that my hands are not as good as hers. β
Cen Sanniang's implication is that it is normal for Gu Zheng to accept insoles, and she is also making excuses for not being able to suppress Gu Zhengβββ this is simply a typical can't afford to lose!
Gu Zheng had long expected that Cen Sanniang was a child who couldn't afford to lose, and he had already thought of countermeasures in his heart, and he must be convinced that Cen Sanniang would loseβββ only smiled after listening to Cen Sanniang's words, and did not refute her theory, but directly took the embroidery and embroidered it, but in just a short time, Gu Zheng embroidered a small flower on the silk cloth.
Although Cen Sanniang was not convinced, she kept peeking at her when Gu Zheng was embroidering, so when she saw that Gu Zheng was just embroidering an ordinary flower, she immediately looked disdainful: "This flower is embroidered in general, there is nothing peculiar!" Do you dare to show such a carving insect skill? β
Gu Zheng had long expected Cen Sanniang to make such an evaluation, but she unhurriedly put the embroidery shed on the table, pointed to the back of the silk cloth and said, "Third sister, take a look at this side again." β
When everyone heard this, they came over to take a look, and their faces were immediately shockedβββ the reverse side of the silk cloth was also embroidered with a small flower!
So it wasn't until this time that Cen Sanniang and others knew that Gu Zheng would actually be able to "pick flowers on both sides"!
Everyone knows that it is indeed very simple to use the technique of "picking flowers" to accept the soles of shoes, and anyone will, but using the technique of picking flowers to pick out a flower on both sides of the front and back, this is not a technique that everyone will doβββ "double-sided flowers" and "double-sided embroidery" are the same as "double-sided embroidery", which is a stunt that will not be easily passed on! And "double-sided picking" is even rarer than "double-sided embroidery", and only some ethnic minority women will be in the Dafeng Dynasty!
So after Gu Zheng showed such a hand, it was immediately clear who won and who lost, and the double-sided cross-stitch that Gu Zheng worked so hard to get not only made Cen Sanniang lose convincingly, but also made everyone look at her, a girl raised by a poor woman in the marketβββ Gu Zheng also deliberately told a little lie, saying that this double-sided flower picking was a stunt passed on to her by Gu Liniang herself, so that Cen Sanniang and others no longer dared to underestimate Gu Liniang, who had died.
said that after Gu Zheng won Cen Sanniang, although Cen Sanniang was convinced, she was still a little depressed and unhappy in the end, and when it was time to get out of school, she didn't say hello to the other sisters and left on her own......
As soon as Cen Sanniang was hit, Cen Wuniang's mood seemed to become particularly happy, only to see that she deliberately stepped forward to hold Gu Zheng's arm affectionately, and invited: "Sister Wanwan, let's go and say hello to grandmother together!" β
Gu Zheng thought that everyone was going to Rongshoutang when they left Wutong Garden, and it was normal to go together, so he responded to Cen Wuniang's invitation, and then pulled Cen Liuniang together, and the three of them walked to Rongshoutang together, and they had to pick up some gossip and gossip on the way...... And the intimate and laughing appearance of Gu Zheng and the three of them made Cen Siniang, who was walking behind with Cen Erniang, quite dazzling, and asked her to deliberately pull Cen Erniang to walk quickly past them.
As soon as Gu Zheng and the others walked into the courtyard, the little maid sitting on the steps stood up with a smile and opened the curtain for them, Gu Zheng drilled through the curtain before entering the hall, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Liang Jingxian, who had always been eye-catching, sitting on the left side, and the eyes of the two happened to hit the air squarely!
As soon as Liang Jingxian caught Gu Zheng secretly looking at him, his eyes immediately brightened a little, and then he unceremoniously nailed his gaze to Gu Zheng and looked at him wantonly...... This made Gu Zheng feel uncomfortable by him, and immediately slandered Liang Jingxian for being an impolite guy, while deliberately ignoring Liang Jingxian's gaze and moving his gaze to the side.
