But all this fell in Qin Chun's eyes, she didn't have time to remind Xiao Man, so she had to use all her strength to pull Xiao Man away, so as not to let Xiao Man suffer from the poisonous hands of the woman in red.

failed to succeed, the woman in red was so angry that she rushed up to catch Xiaoman.

But Xiao Man's dexterous dodge, it was very easy to dodge the woman's attack, she turned to look at the woman in red who was in the air, she couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle a few times, and then said: "I'm here to play today, I don't have time to fight with you, so I'll go first." ”

After speaking, she took Qin Chun's hand and walked forward humming a song.

And the woman in red who stayed in place tidied up her clothes angrily, her chest rose and fell violently, she clenched her teeth, looking at the backs of Xiao Man and Qin Chun, her teeth were almost crushed.

The people around who were watching the excitement immediately dispersed, gathered in twos and threes to talk, and no one paid attention to the woman.

A quarter of an hour later, a well-dressed man came in at the door, he put his hands in front of him with a straight face, and shouted: "The game is about to begin, please prepare a little and start entering!" ”

There was a lot of chatter in the room, and everyone's faces were a little more nervous.

The man coughed lightly and began to call names against the entry list, and those who were called were led to the venue. Xu was divided into several groups because of the large number of people in this competition, and they went to different venues to compete.

Among them, too many acquaintances were dismantled, so for a while, the discussion in the room was louder than before, and a few little girls quietly lowered their heads and wiped their tears when they saw them separated from their companions.

But that's fine, someone in the province asked a friend to help cheat.

Soon, as Qin Chun was also taken away with the others, only Xiaoman, the woman in red, and a few strange women who had never known each other were left in the house, the man put down the list, still with a straight face, and said: "Zhao Chun, Ni Liu, as well as Xie Youfan, Zhang Chunli, Su Ying, Wang Youhe, you guys come with me." ”

Su Xiaoman nodded, secretly glanced at the woman in red, and thought to himself: I don't know what kind of fate it is, I actually got into a group with her.

Just when Xiao Man was staring at the woman in red, the other party also glanced at her sideways, and the eyes of the two happened to collide together, Xiao Man subconsciously moved away, and then heard a cold snort from beside him, presumably the voice of the woman in red.

She didn't care, and after coughing a few times to suppress her laughter, she raised her head and followed the leadership of the Jiang Mansion to the place of the game.

I saw that there was a blue-gray courtyard in the backyard of Jiangfu, which was divided into dozens of smaller courtyards by bricks and stones, and there were about ten embroidery frames in each courtyard, and a small table was placed next to each embroidery frame, and the objects needed for embroidery were placed on the table.

Except for the different numbers of the wooden signs hanging in front of each small courtyard, all the other arrangements are exactly the same, even the tips of the scissors on the small table are facing one direction, which looks very neat.

I have to say that for this game, Jiang Fu really made a lot of money, just looking at this place, you know that Jiang Qiming attaches great importance to this game.

"Your group is in the courtyard on the far right, let's go inside."

Everyone obediently walked to the small courtyard on the far right, sat down according to the names marked on the table, and waited for the arrival of the questioner.

But after a quarter of an hour, the man who brought them here before came in, walked up to everyone, cleared his throat, and said, "In this competition, I am Wu Xing, the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion, and I am also your invigilator. ”

After finishing speaking, he took out a silk silk from his arms, unfolded it carefully, and said: "This is the proposition of this time, you can improvise according to what you see, and end after a stick of incense. ”

There were only two words written on the snow-white silk: flowers.

This is the first competition, and it is naturally very simple, if you want to show the fragrance of flowers on the embroidery, you can embroider a few butterflies.

Wu Xing flattened the silk silk and walked around in front of everyone to make sure that everyone could see it, and then returned to his original position, lit the incense candles of the incense burner on the side, and supervised with an expressionless face behind his back.

Xiao Man quietly glanced at the people around him, looked at the smiles on their faces, and thought: It seems that everyone thinks this topic is simple, and everyone thinks the same as themselves.

Although she had other ideas in her heart, at this time, she didn't want to be in the limelight, so she should follow the most regular way and attract the attention of others with too high a profile. In particular, there is a woman in red who opposes herself everywhere in this small courtyard, and she is even more low-key.

Therefore, Xiaoman twisted the silk thread lightly, separated the already thin embroidery thread, and only after making sure that each embroidery thread was as thin as a hair, then began to trace a figure on the embroidery cloth and began to prepare for this embroidery.

In order to prevent the woman in red from making trouble again, before starting to embroider, Xiao Man also took a special look at the woman, and the other party stared at his embroidery frame intently, and the movements of his hands did not stop, looking very serious, looking at her twisting the embroidery thread, she was also very skilled and professional.

Xiao Man thought to himself: It seems that this person still has some ability, no wonder she was so presumptuous at the door before, thinking that she also came to the top of the list.

While thinking, Xiao Man prepared everything and began to concentrate on needlework.

The game here is in full swing, and in Lu Mansion, the two girls are also very nervous, although they didn't follow in person, but just thinking about it, they can feel how fierce this game is.

There are so many embroidery girls in the whole Beijing, in order to compete for the qualifications to enter the Jiang Mansion or make clothes for the emperor and the master, which one of them has not sharpened their heads, and I don't know if their wife and Qin Chun can successfully enter the final competition.

"Jade, do you think our wife can win the top spot?" Pearl frowned, stood in the doorway and looked at the end of the street, and asked.

Jade on the side retracted her gaze and looked at Pearl with a frown, "You don't believe in the strength of our wife?" ”

Pearl also retracted her gaze when she heard this, sighed, and explained: "No, it's just that Mrs. hasn't done needlework in the past few years, and now that she is going to the competition, she has been practicing for a few days, but I am always worried, in case Mrs. can't get the top spot, she will definitely be very sad." ”

"Madame is naturally smart, she won the top spot in the first competition a few years ago, and now it is just a small embroidery competition, or Master Jiang can do it, she will definitely win." Jade said with relief.

After saying this, Pearl didn't say anything again for a long time, and Jade couldn't help but look at the other party again, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Pearl lowered her head, stared at her toes, and whispered, "I'm always a little worried, I'm always afraid that something will happen to Madame." ”

Probably because the impact of the previous game on Pearl was too great, she was always afraid that Xiao Man would encounter the previous thing again this time, even if Mrs. was accompanied by Qin Chun, but Qin Chun was not a powerful character, and she was not worthy of Mrs. at the critical moment.

If you really get bullied again, then ......

"Da Da Da-"

Just as he was thinking, the familiar sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the distance, and the two maidservants didn't bother to discuss it, they both craned their necks to see the corner of the street.

The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and a person appeared from the corner of the street on horseback, and the two squinted their eyes to take a closer look, it turned out that Lu Li had returned from riding a horse!

Canglan Kingdom came to visit, and the emperor asked Lu Li to accompany him in the palace every day in the past few days, so that Lu Li entered the palace early this morning, and he couldn't say goodbye to Xiaoman who went to the game.

"What are you two doing at the door?" Lu Li dismounted, looked at the pearl and jade guarding the door, and couldn't help but ask casually.

Pearl hurriedly bowed, and replied with her chin bowed: "If you return to the country, the slave and Jade are worried about Madame, so they come to the door and wait, so as to welcome Madame back in time."

Lu Li handed over the horse to Xiao Xiao, and frowned slightly after entering the door, "Xiao Man hasn't come back yet?" ”

When he went out of the palace to the palace today, he went around the Jiang Mansion by the way, and there was already a long queue at the door at that time, which was very lively, Lu Li thought that the game was going to start soon, but he didn't want to stay in the palace for half a day and come back, the game was not over yet?

Knowing this, he should go directly to Jiangfu when he comes back, even if he can't see Xiaoman with his own eyes, it will be convenient to bring her back directly after the game is over.

"Lu Li!"

Lu Li was thinking about things, and suddenly a boy came from not far away, and when he looked back, it was Wei Xiuyuan.

I saw the other party trotting over, and after standing still, he put his hand on his shoulder, "Lu Li, aren't you going to the palace?" Why did you come back so early today, why, the matter of Canglan Country and relatives was solved? ”

Hearing this, Lu Li let out a long sigh, "Go into the house, I'll tell you slowly." ”

"I also have something to write with you, let's go, let's go in first."

Pearl and Jade made eye contact, and finally Jade stayed behind to continue waiting for Xiaoman, and Pearl followed the two inside.

When he arrived at the house, without waiting for Lu to leave, Wei Xiuyuan took the lead and said, "Don't say it yet, listen to me finish talking about this matter!" ”

Lu Li nodded in agreement.

Wei Xiuyuan cleared his throat, and did not sell off the gate as in the past, but said straight to the point: "I just got the news, the envoys of the Canglan Kingdom who recently entered Beijing, they are secretly and secretly investigating your wife, their actions are extremely secretive, and they don't know what to do. ”

Investigate Xiaoman?

Lu Li couldn't help frowning when he heard this, Xiaoman grew up in Taoyuan County since he was a child, and he had an incompatible relationship with Canglan Country, and later entered Beijing with him, even if she went out by herself, she did business alone in Beijing, but she never heard her mention that she had business dealings with Canglan Country, otherwise she would not have to get rid of Wei Xiuyuan and take a line from it.

Why did Canglan State investigate Xiaoman?

Seeing Lu Li's frowning and puzzled appearance, Wei Xiuyuan stepped forward and lowered his voice: "You say, does Canglan Kingdom really want to come and kiss this time?" They are investigating Xiaoman, are they interested in you? ”
