Chapter 271: The Game Ends
This woman in red is named Wang Youhe, the youngest daughter of the Qing family of the Sanpin Dali Temple in the imperial court, she naturally grew up pampered, don't say it is a scolding on weekdays, no one in the family dares to talk to her loudly, for fear of making this aunt unhappy.
Speaking of which, this Wang Youhe also has some relationship with the Xia family, but due to Old Man Xia's strict self-discipline style, even though she likes Su Xiaoman, she didn't dare to get to know Xiaoman through the relationship of the Xia family, but wanted to gain recognition through this game, so as to go to Xiaoman's shop.
Although it is not uncommon for women to be female celebrities in Donglan, like Wang Youhe, in order to meet Su Xiaoman, he practiced embroidery hard and came to participate in such a competition, which was the first in Donglan country.
Wang Youhe knew that she had paid a lot, so she became more and more arrogant, after all, the other embroidery girls present were running for a better future and more monthly money, and she just wanted to use this competition to raise her awareness, use this competition to prove herself, so that she could better make friends with Su Xiaoman.
Therefore, when he heard that the housekeeper was disqualified from the competition, Wang Youhe was extremely angry and opened his mouth to say something like "let the housekeeper not want to stay in Jiangfu".
But the housekeeper has been in the Jiang Mansion for so many years, how can she shake the position, so Wu Xing snorted coldly: "If you have the ability, then you might as well go to Lord Jiang's study now to make trouble, and see who will be expelled from the mansion at that time!" ”
"Housekeeper, housekeeper, do you really think you can manage the Jiang family? Amusing! Wang Youhe was domineering, and her tone was very arrogant, and none of the little people next to her dared to step forward to pull her, so that she stayed where she was and openly argued with Wu Xing, "To put it mildly, you are just a dog in Jiangfu, even if Lord Jiang values you on weekdays, how can he keep a dog?" ”
What Wang Youhe said was extremely ugly, and he belittled the housekeeper Wu Xing as nothing, which made Wu Xing even more annoyed, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't pull her away yet! ”
As soon as the words fell, a male voice sounded behind everyone: "What's the noise?" ”
Everyone looked back and saw that Jiang Qiming had come in person!
Xu is noise here was too loud, and it actually attracted Jiang Qiming over. I saw him walk straight to Wu Xing's side, frowning and unhappy: "Don't take them to the game, but make noise here, what are you doing?" Forgot my instructions? ”
Seeing Jiang Qiming's unkind face teaching Wu Xing a lesson, Wang Youhe became more and more proud, and rushed to answer without waiting for Wu Xing to speak: "Lord Jiang, this housekeeper doesn't know what to do, so he has to drive me out of the house, and disqualify me from the competition, and even order all the shops of the Jiang family not to accept my embroidery!" ”
Jiang Qiming's face darkened a few degrees when he heard this, he looked at Wu Xing, and his tone was low: "Is that so?" ”
"Master Jiang, she is a wicked person to sue first!" Wu Xing didn't expect that the quarrel between himself and Wang Youhe would actually attract Jiang Qiming, but after all, he had been in Jiang Mansion for so many years, and he still had some understanding of Jiang Qiming's temper.
Therefore, he quickly regained his composure and told Fang Cai about the matter, pointing out that Wang Youhe took the lead in provoking and had to fight back. After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and said guiltily: "Lord Jiang, it was the slave who betrayed your trust and failed to control the scene!" ”
Jiang Qiming waved his hand, "This matter has nothing to do with you." ”
As he spoke, he gave his entourage a look and asked him to take the embroidery girl to the field first, while the housekeeper and Wang Youhe were specially left behind by him.
Wang Youhe was shocked when she saw this, and thought: Could it be that she really can't go to the last game? I didn't expect this slave to have such a say in front of Jiang Qiming, and I knew that I should be more tactful, but ......
"What's your name?" Jiang Qiming walked up to Wang Youhe and asked with a cold face.
She cleared her throat, thought about it in her heart, then raised her chin, glanced at Wu Xing with a little smugness, and immediately said: "My name is Wang Youhe, and I am the daughter of Wang Chen, the secretary of Dali Temple, a third-grade official of the imperial court. ”
"Wang Chen?" Jiang Qiming was a little surprised.
Wang Youhe, who had already guessed the other party's reaction, became more and more proud, she answered, and then took out the sign of Wangfu from her arms to prove that what she said was true.
Jiang Qiming glanced at it, although he didn't take it over and take a closer look, but with his many years of experience in Beijing, he could be sure that this sign was indeed from the mansion of Wang Chen, the secretary of Dali Temple in the imperial court.
Now things are even harder.
This time is to choose the right embroidery girl to enter the Jiang Mansion, logically speaking, it should be some ordinary girls, even if there is an extraordinary identity, it is also said hello in advance, such as Xiaoman, besides, people change their identities and change their names just to keep a low profile, and they will not be like this Wang Youhe, who deliberately made such a big move in the last game.
What should we do with this man?
If she is allowed to continue the competition, then in the eyes of other embroiderers, she is inevitably partial and unfair; But if he was expelled directly according to the housekeeper's idea, it would inevitably be too bad for Wang Chen.
You must know that Wang Chen is an old woman, and he loves this daughter very much. Besides, this Wang Chen is extremely sad in the government, has been conscientious for decades, and has never made any mistakes, if he really expelled Wang Youhe from the mansion today, wouldn't he deliberately go against Wang Chen?
After thinking about it, Jiang Qiming had to use the following strategy: "Miss Wang, the people who participated in the competition this time are all famous embroiderers in Beijing, I don't know why you are here?" ”
"Master Jiang, don't want to delay until the end of the game." Wang Youhe was domineering, but she was not stupid, she looked straight at Jiang Qiming, "I'm here to wipe the family competition, since I can pass the first two competitions, it means that I have the strength to enter the last game." Now that you know who I really am, you want to delay me, and I tell you, it's not that simple! ”
The matter was originally caused by Wang Youhe's being too domineering, but the matter has developed to this point, coupled with Wang Youhe's words, it seems that Jiang Fu has offended her.
Jiang Qiming felt a little awkward in his heart, but because of the identity of the other party, he had to say euphemistically: "Miss Wang, it stands to reason that even if you become the top of the list, you will never come to our Jiang Mansion to do things, right?" In that case, why don't you give someone else a chance? ”
"I did come to participate in the competition for another purpose, but it is not convenient to tell Master Jiang!" Seeing that time passed bit by bit, Wang Youhe had no leisure to accompany Jiang Qiming, and her tone was tough: "The last game is about to start, I have to go to the game!" ”
"The competition has already begun, if Miss Wang goes at this time, I'm afraid it's too late." Wu Xing reminded with a calm face on the side.
Wang Youhe raised his voice when he ascended: "Whether I can go or not, and when I go, it's not up to you, a dog minion, to have the final say!" ”
Wu Xing lowered his head and didn't speak. Seeing this, Jiang Qiming cleared his throat, "Since Miss Wang wants to participate in the competition so much, let's go, as for the result......"
"I know! I'm responsible for this! Wang Youhe was slightly displeased, but after all, the other party was Jiang Qiming, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, let alone face Jiang Qiming with the attitude of treating the housekeeper.
Jiang Qiming raised his hand, "Okay, then I wish Miss Wang a smooth competition." ”
After speaking, Jiang Qiming summoned the housekeeper, "Go, come with me to the study, I have something to tell you." ”
Wu Xing responded sullenly and followed Jiang Qiming to the study, while Wang Youhe, who stayed in place, sneered, and hurriedly entered the courtyard of the competition, preparing embroidery threads while watching the requirements of the competition, and began to embroider embroidery non-stop.
Xiao Man, who was closest to Wang Youhe's position, couldn't help but glance up at the other party, and the movements of her subordinates also stopped, and a few traces of surprise flashed in her heart: It was really strange that such a big thing happened just now, Jiang Qiming actually allowed Wang Youhe to continue the game.
"What to see?!" Wang Youhe suddenly glared at Xiao Man, who was staring at him.
Xiao Man was pulled back by this low shout, she blinked her eyes, but she didn't speak, so she turned around and continued to embroider her embroidery, no longer thinking about Wang Youhe.
Because this competition is to select embroidery girls for the Jiang family, and the last ten embroidery girls are likely to make clothes for the ladies in the palace, so the embroidery must not only require ingenuity and experience, but more importantly, the embroidery should be rich and atmospheric.
The last session was titled Peonies.
This topic seems simple, but if you want to embroider the charm of peony and the characteristics of atmosphere and wealth, it is not so simple.
Xiaoman specially used the simplest embroidery method this time, but the embroidery thread was selected in many kinds, from white to light pink, and then to light pink, pink, light red, etc., just to choose the embroidery thread took a long time, just to highlight the level of peony.
"There's still a quarter of an hour to go, everyone, hurry up!" The invigilator on the stage reminded in a low voice.
Xiaoman's embroidery has reached the final stage, so she is not in such a hurry, she is not in a hurry to prepare for the final work, and she has already begun to think about cooperation with Canglan country. But after thinking about it for a long time, the occasional sigh from beside her interrupted her thoughts, and she had to follow the sound to see what was going on.
I saw Wang Youhe's brows furrowed, beads of sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose, she was hunched over and lying on the embroidery frame, her hands trembling. The frequency of sighing became higher and higher, and finally it gradually became a low cry.
Probably too late to finish the embroidery, Xiao Man thought.
But who is to blame? It's not all Wang Youhe's self-inflicted, from beginning to end, she is mocking others and making big troubles, which will provoke Jiang Qiming to appear and delay her own time.
Thinking about it, Xiao Man sighed secretly in his heart, then turned around and continued to finish his embroidery.
"It's time!"
The invigilator on the stage gave an order, and immediately walked down, "Put down the needle and thread and hand in the embroidery!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Youhe hurriedly shouted: "No! Wait a little longer! ”
