"Li Huizhen, the daughter of the Li family, has seen the county lord!"

Su Xiaoman looked at her and nodded with satisfaction: "Miss Li is so amazing, this polo is really admirable, come, this is the prize!"

Pearl handed the ready-to-wear to Li Huizhen, making her so happy that she didn't see that her aunt and cousin were afraid to speak with black faces.

"You go and try it first, if it's not suitable, you can go back to my ready-to-wear shop to change it, and I won't charge you money!"

Li Huizhen took the beautiful ready-to-wear clothes and compared them to herself, and the corners of her mouth smiled, and Mrs. Li's face was red and white because of Li Shuhua's affairs, if people knew that their husband's cousin said this about the county lord, I am afraid that the entire Li Mansion would be implicated, and hurriedly pulled her daughter back to her tent.

After the polo club ended, the stone in Su Xiaoman's heart finally fell, and he hurriedly instructed the people in the house to go to the Li Mansion to inquire, according to the girls in the Li Mansion, Li Shuhua was immediately beaten by Mrs. Li, and sent her back to Bishui Village overnight.

Su Xiaoman sat in the study and couldn't help laughing, Pearl wondered, why did he laugh so happily without any interesting incidents, and asked curiously: "County Lord, why are you smiling so happily?"

Su Xiaoman pursed his lips: "Do you remember the frightened old man at the polo meeting yesterday?"

Pearl nodded blankly, her expression was clear in an instant, and she said angrily: "Oh! I see, that woman really deserves to be beaten! But you didn't teach her a lesson, the county lord! ”

Su Xiaoman shook his head, looked at Pearl's stupid white face and said, "You're just too honest, if you gossip like everyone else, I guess you'll laugh too!"

Pearl laughed innocently twice: "It's good that the county lord is happy!"

Thinking that it was now the third year of junior high school, and Xiaoxue had been learning etiquette in the house for a long time, Su Xiaoman slowly walked in the garden, and unconsciously walked to the courtyard where Xiaoxue lived temporarily.

"Stand upright, look at eye level, hands together, hidden in sleeves, sit with knees together, hips on heels, instep on the ground, hands on knees, eyes ahead! You must remember that you must not miss any step when you go to your in-law's house! ”

Xiaoxue nodded obediently.

Etiquette Grandma was teaching Xiaoxue to learn etiquette, and when she saw that she was learning in a good way, Su Xiaoman was not easy to disturb, so she just glanced twice outside the courtyard and walked away.

Just as he was about to go back to his courtyard, the guard at the gate came in and handed over a greeting post: "County Lord, Jin Shao Jin Gongzi came to visit, saying that he came to give a dowry!"

Su Xiaoman nodded: "You welcome Jin Gongzi into the main hall!"

I also cleaned up and dressed up a little, Pearl was on the side, and followed her to the main hall, Jin Shao was dressed in gold and white, refreshing and luxurious, low-key and giving people a noble feeling, Su Xiaoman sat on the chair in front of the hall, and Pearl served the freshly made tea

"Jin Gongzi came here today, but he can't see the bride!"

Jin Shao's immature face smiled: "County Lord, I still understand the rules, I can't see them before I get married, and I'm here today to urge makeup!" And the dowry! ”

Urging makeup is to marry three

A few days ago, the man sent some items to the woman for the bride's makeup, commonly known as "makeup".

After speaking, he clapped his palms, and the six servants immediately carried three boxes up, opened them and saw that the crown, curtains, flowers, and powder were all available, and the dowry was also a real dry goods, Su Xiaoman smiled: "I didn't expect Jin Gongzi to be quite thoughtful, I originally thought that my house would help her buy these things, how could I think you would send them so soon!"

Immediately signaled to the pearl beside him, only to see the pearl wave his hand, and the servants handed over the tent curtain and the supplies of the new house to Jin Shao, and said: "This is what the Guogong Mansion should do as a mother's family!"

Jin Shao smiled: "The county lord is too polite, now you can only use these when you go back to Jinzhou!"

Su Xiaoman said: "It's okay!"

......

On the day of the wedding

The groom's greeting procession walks on the busy street like a long dragon, as if to marry a lady of the general luxury, the walkers carry vases, candles, incense balls, makeup, skirt boxes, knots, sedan chairs, etc., and come to the Guogong Mansion with the accompaniment of the drummer.

Jin Shao rode a white horse, wearing a wedding robe handsome and straight from the horse, the celebrant read auspicious poems in the main hall, the band made music and makeup, and the official announced the auspicious time: "The auspicious time has arrived, please get the bride on the wedding sedan chair!"

Xi Pozi immediately sprinkled a lot of red see bonuses outside the door to the people who came to watch, and all the servants and maids in the Guogong Mansion had red bonuses in their hands, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Xiaoxue covered her head with a Xipa, wearing a wedding dress, sitting in the main hall, Jin Shao strode to the main hall and gave Su Xiaoman tea: "The county lord is above, please use tea!"

Su Xiaoman nodded with satisfaction, drank the tea with a smile and gave Jin Shao a flower bonus, Jin Shao took it with a red face, turned around and put Xiaoxue on his back, and everyone rushed in, begging for the flower bonus, and gave it one by one before the eaves were raised.

Seeing Xiaoxue sitting in the sedan chair, Xi Pozi followed the palanquin and shouted: "The bride is married!" The bride is married! ”

Pearl took the gilded basin and poured a basin of water outside the door after the greeting team left, Xiaoxue sat in the sedan chair and cried like a tearful person, she could marry so beautifully without a father or mother, the etiquette was like sending her daughter away, it was enough to save face, and she was grateful to Su Xiaoman in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since the time of leaving the front line, and the business of the garment workshop is getting better and better, since taking over the business of Jin Shao, many border businessmen have come to negotiate the supply, and Su Xiaoman, who was pressed by a large number of orders in an instant, was a little breathless, and after repeated consideration, Su Xiaoman decided to hold a large-scale embroidery competition, but anyone who is good at embroidery can participate.

Xiaoxue is already married, and now there is no real helper in the ready-to-wear store, so she returned to the study and picked up a pen and paper to write, turned to Pearl and said, "You posted this post on the public notice list outside the city!"

Pearl took the post and looked at it: "County Lord, are you going to hold an embroidery competition?"

Su Xiaoman nodded: "You go and go back quickly!"

The embroidery contest is scheduled for seven days later, and this time the embroidery is big

The competition is divided into six kinds, Shu embroidery, Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, Bian embroidery, and Long embroidery.

As a registration office, the ready-to-wear store has countless people who come to sign up every day, but there are few excellent embroideries submitted, looking at the pile of defective products submitted, Su Xiaoman couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "I think the reward is not attractive enough!"

Su Xiaoman increased the reward and monthly money, the embroidery girls of each city have come to participate, the first selection by virtue of the embroidery selection, on the day of the selection of embroidery, there are more than 20 embroidery works are very good, immediately Su Xiaoman found a good inn in the city, and arranged for the embroidery girls from afar to live first.

On the day of the competition, Su Xiaoman placed the competition area in the Guogong Mansion, and thirty embroidery mats were arranged in the courtyard in an orderly manner, and hundreds of embroidery thread cardigans were used for the reference of embroidery girls.

The guards in the Guogong Mansion are very strict, if the embroidery girl who came to participate in the election is not able to participate in the competition without the brand of the Guogong Mansion in his hand, Chen Shi Pearl stood at the door of the Guogong Mansion, and cleared his throat seriously: "The time has arrived, the embroidery girl enters the house with a brand, and the unlicensed person stays!"

Su Xiaoman was worried that he had enough spare energy, so he specially invited Ou Qianqian and Jiang Qiu to the house to help, and let the two of them serve as auditors, and the three of them sat in front of the hall, and the embroidery girls sat on the embroidery mat according to their names, and Pearl stood on the side of the hall, holding a pair of calligraphy in his hand, with the word Shou'an written on it, and shouted: "Today's title is Shou'an, from the hour, and at noon!"

The purpose of taking this question is because most of the things of other warblers and swallows can be embroidered without much effort, but Shou'an represents the old man's happiness and health, if you want to express your heart, you must also be a person who respects the old and loves the young, and the embroidery can completely show whether a person's conduct is correct.

The embroidery girls looked at each other, discussing the meaning of Shou'an, one of the quite careful girls immediately chose the embroidery thread and the cardigan, and immediately embroidered, and then the other embroidery girls also chose to embroider, all of them buried their heads in hard work.

Su Xiaoman got up from time to time and walked to the embroidery girls to take a look, looking at a girl named Xu Qingcheng embroidering very specially, standing in front of her and asking, "Are you embroidered double-sided heterochromatic embroidery?"

Xu Qingcheng got up and saluted Su Xiaoman, blinking with big eyes and saying, "Back to the county master, this is exactly the double-sided heterochromatic embroidery!"

Double-sided heterochromatic embroidery is one of the advanced embroidery methods in Bian embroidery, and the combination of stitching and embroidery can be called art.

Su Xiaoman nodded with satisfaction, and walked to a girl named Bai Jiaran and looked at it: "The needle is fine, the needle is not forgotten to follow the rules, the contour pattern is natural and neat, not bad, not bad!"

Hiss......

A woman in the back row suddenly whispered, Su Xiaoman heard the voice, and saw that the woman's embroidery was messy, her hands were full of holes, and the blood stains on the placket were particularly eye-catching.

Su Xiaoman stepped forward and asked, "How did you get qualified for the competition with such an embroidery method?"

The woman's name was Wei Jiaxuan, and she quickly knelt on the ground in a panic, and looked at Su Xiaoman with red eyes and trembling: "The county lord forgives the sins!" I didn't mean to! ”

Unexpectedly, someone would pretend to be someone else's hand thinking that they could get away with it, Su Xiaoman frowned and immediately called Zhen

Zhu asked, "Which one is her embroidery, get it quickly!"

The servant was very courier of Wei Jiaxuan's embroidery, and after taking a closer look, it was not from the same person's hand at all, Su Xiaoman said angrily: "You dare to borrow someone else's hand!" Come on, drag it out! ”

The servant was about to start dragging her out, Wei Jiaxuan immediately grabbed Su Xiaoman's skirt and cried: "County Lord, I know it's wrong, I can't help it, my mother is seriously ill, but the family is poor, and now my mother has been cut off from medicine and food for a few days, and if it drags on, I'm afraid that my life will be worried, County Lord, I didn't mean to, please!" Please! ”

Wei Jiaxuan shouted in a sharp voice, if Su Xiaoman didn't agree, it would seem that she was mean.
