Chapter 36: The Scourge of Embroidery Thread

An Xinyue's face was embarrassed, and she hurriedly explained: "The second sister misunderstood, it was really a coincidence. ”

"Eldest sister, don't lie to your sister, just blame me for being too naΓ―ve, and I would believe you like that before." An Xuehan is unforgiving, and she is completely a face that others owe her.

An Xinyue's face turned pale, and she pursed her lips a little aggrieved, and a touch of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

An Xuehan was followed by An Yixin's Buddhist scripture embroidery, and the old lady really liked it very much after reading it, and praised An Yixin's good life.

"Sister Xin'er's embroidery has improved recently, this Buddhist scripture is very well embroidered, and my grandmother likes it very much."

An Yixin made a humble gesture: "It's all taught by the embroidery master, Yixin is dull and doesn't learn well, which makes my grandmother smile." ”

"You don't have to be modest, this embroidery work is about to catch up with the embroidery girl in the palace, it's already very good." Mrs. Xing said cordially, and it could be seen that she was very satisfied with the embroidery of the Buddhist scriptures.

An Yixin is followed by An Lingqing, An Lingqing is good at painting, and the birthday gift is naturally related to painting.

The picture unfolded, it was a picture of the Buddha cutting meat and feeding the eagle, the picture was vivid, and all the ladies present were amazed.

"I've long heard that the fourth lady of Anfu has good painting skills, and now I finally have the opportunity to see it, which is really exquisite."

An Lingqing smiled and proudly waited for Old Madam Xing's appreciation.

However, Mrs. Xing's reaction was very bland, and she didn't say she liked it or didn't like it.

An Lingqing was a little unwilling, how could this be? She painted it so well, and it was a picture of the Buddha cutting meat and feeding the eagle, which can be regarded as voting for the old lady's preference, why didn't the old lady even look at it, and put it aside.

How did An Lingqing know that the matter of splashing Mr. Pan's paintings with ink in the school that day had already been quietly spread to the ears of the old lady, and she splashed the face of the former queen mother, even if the old lady had no feelings for her before, but after this incident, the old lady Xing obviously had a disgust for this rude and illiterate concubine.

No matter how beautiful her paintings are, Mrs. Xing will never accept her affection.

An Lingqing's eyes flashed with resentment, and he silently stepped aside.

Xun Xuan was the last in the group, and I saw her step forward and gently hand over the gift she was holding.

The embroidered cloth unfolded, but it was a vivid and gorgeous statue of the Bodhisattva, the mighty red lotus was under his feet, and the autumn moon was bent and his eyebrows were locked.

The solemnity of the Bodhisattva leaps out on the paper, making people feel respect, as if they are meeting a god.

Mrs. Xing was stunned for a moment, afraid that she would not be able to see clearly, so she couldn't help but get a little closer, and after seeing the statue of the Bodhisattva, she involuntarily turned the rosary in her hand and recited a sentence in her mouth: "The Bodhisattva blesses me with the safety and smoothness of my house." ”

The ladies couldn't help but show respect on their faces, and looked at the statue of the Bodhisattva with honesty in their eyes.

Liu's nose on the side was crooked, it was obviously her and An Xuehan's home field, and she actually let Xun Zhi, a person with a foreign surname, steal the limelight!

Although Liu was angry in his heart, he still had a charitable face on his face, and he stepped forward with a gentle face and said, "The embroidery work of these three young ladies and Miss Biao has really opened your eyes today. ”

As soon as the Liu family finished speaking, the Han family, the wife of the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, hurriedly followed behind the Liu family to help.

"I just took a closer look, the two girls are embroidered with gold and silver threads, and they all say that this gold and silver thread will become more and more shining and brilliant when it encounters strong light, if this Buddhist scripture and a Bodhisattva statue can be matched with the golden light of gold and silver threads, maybe it is even more wonderful, I am very curious in my heart, I wonder if the third lady and Miss Xun can show me one or two?"

An Yixin was proud in her heart, but she didn't know that she had already been in Liu's quiet calculation.

"What's so hard about that? Red Warbler, go get me a candle! ”

Xun Xuan also turned her head when she heard the sound, and silently glanced at Chi Yin and Qu You.

Qu You was already scared stupid when she learned that the third lady was going to use candles to illuminate the embroidery, and she didn't notice Xun Xuan's expression at all, and finally it was the candle that Qi Yin followed out to get it.

The candles are lit and the light shines on the two embroideries.

Xun Xuan's Bodhisattva statue is still shining and shining, giving people an illusion of Buddha's light, and there is a more and more intense sense of solemnity and sacredness.

But An Yixin's Buddhist scriptures are different, the embroidery thread is not as good as before the candle shines, and the whole thing is black like a ball of charcoal.

"This ...... How so? An Yixin was stunned.

Liu's brows frowned, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, unhappy was that only An Yixin was tricked, but Xun Zhi's embroidery was not unusual at all, she was self-defeating, and actually made a wedding dress for Xun Zhi's dead girl again.

Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, Liu Shi concealed it very well on her face, and only listened to her gesture and said: "This ...... Third girl, is there something dirty in your Buddhist scriptures? ”

"Impossible...... It's still good to look at it just now, how can it suddenly become like this? The third lady An Yixin was sweating profusely, and then her mind turned, as if she thought of something, she looked at Xun Xuan with a resentful face, and shouted in her mouth, "It must be you, you did it, right?" ”

Old Madam Xing was a little dissatisfied: "Third girl, this Buddhist scripture is not in Ah Zhi's hands, how can it be related to Ah Zhi?" ”

An Yixin doesn't care about showing off anything at the moment, she doesn't want merit, she just wants to be without fault.

"Old lady, don't you know, a few days ago I injured my finger, Cousin Xun pretended to be kind to help me embroider Buddhist scriptures, I agreed, who knew that she had already calculated, this Buddhist scripture was through her hands from beginning to end, she must have wanted to frame me, so she came up with such a bad trick."

Old Madam Xing twisted her eyebrows, even if she wanted to protect Xun Xuan, such a situation would not be possible.

"Ah Zhi, is there really such a thing?" Old Madam Xing's voice sank a little.

At this time, Liu Shi on the side also said coldly: "Ah Zhi, my aunt also knows that there is a slight gap between the third girl and you, and my aunt has always wanted to reconcile with it, but you have never been willing to appreciate it, and now you are still doing such a deceitful thing, why do you bother?" ”

Xun Xuan sneered, and looked at the Liu family with cold eyes: "I have never done this before, why is my aunt in such a hurry to close the coffin?" ”

Liu Shi was choked up, and his face showed anger: "The facts are in front of you, how do you want to justify?" ”

Xun Xuan no longer paid attention to the Liu family, and turned to look at Old Madam Xing: "Old lady, Ah Zhi has never done it, please ask the old lady to find out." ”

Old Madam Xing narrowed her eyes, although she also wanted to believe Xun Xuan, but she was an elder, and she should not be partiality in front of everyone.

"Zhi, how are you going to prove your innocence?"

Xun Xuan said slowly: "Ah Zhi thinks it's a problem with the embroidery thread. ”

"Embroidery thread? Isn't that a public school distributed to all the hospitals? This embroidery thread is expensive, and I remember that only Mrs. Liu and the second lady had it in the yard at that time. Later, Lingqing brought some back from the second lady's courtyard. "The person who spoke was the Liang family, since the last time she was punished by An Sheng to kneel in the ancestral hall, she had a little peace, but at this moment it was the time to expose the Liu family, how could she resist not trying to lower her face?

The meaning of Liang's words couldn't be more obvious, the gold and silver thread used by An Yixin was taken by An Lingqing from An Xuehan's yard, if there is really a problem with the embroidery thread, it is also An Xuehan who framed it.

An Xuehan became anxious when she heard this, and looked at Liang angrily: "Aunt Liang, don't talk nonsense, it's clear that there is something dirty on this embroidery cloth, and what is the matter with the embroidery thread?" ”

"That's it!" Seeing that her daughter was dragged into the water, Liu naturally would not sit still, and immediately said, "Besides, if it is really a problem with the embroidery thread, isn't Xun Zhi also using the same gold and silver thread, why is her embroidery intact?" I think it's clear that someone is framing him! ”

"Framed? I think it's a thief shouting to catch a thief, right? Xun Xuan snorted coldly, walked to Mrs. Xing's side gently, and said in a gentle tone, "Grandmother, Ah Zhi has a way to prove whether it is a problem with embroidery threads!" ”

Old Madam Xing looked at Xun Xuan suspiciously and asked, "What are Zhi's plans?" ”

Xun Xuan smiled and said calmly: "Grandmother, do you still remember the lotus flower I embroidered on your clothes three days ago?" The gold and silver thread that was used was sent by the third lady. ”

It just so happened that Mrs. Xing was wearing this dress today.

"Chime! Take the candle and I'll prove to you that it's real or fake! Xun Xuan's eyebrows were sinked, and she said calmly.

Hearing this, Qi Yin hurriedly handed over the candle, and the lotus flower in the corner of Mrs. Xing's clothes turned from the original gold and silver to the color of charcoal under the baking of the candle, which was exactly the same charcoal black as the Buddhist scripture embroidery in An Yixin's hand.

"It's really a problem with the embroidery thread, it seems that the second miss is dissatisfied with the third miss being in the limelight in front of people, and deliberately gave fake gold and silver threads." Someone around them began to whisper.

An Xuehan heard it in her ears, and her face became more and more unbearable: "No...... No, all of this is deliberately framed by Xun Zhi, a girl! ”

Liu's eyes rolled twice, and he quickly caught the loophole: "This is absolutely impossible, it must be that Xun Zhi, the girl, embezzled the gold and silver thread to embroider her Bodhisattva statue without permission, and secretly bought fake gold and silver thread to help the three girls embroider Buddhist scriptures, the monthly money in the house is fixed, where did Xun Zhi get the money to buy expensive gold and silver thread?" ”

"You don't know about this aunt, I didn't buy this gold and silver thread, but Cousin Fu gave it." Xun Xuan looked at Fu Rongrong, who was standing not far away and was bent on watching a good show.

"Yes, it was indeed I who sent it, did Mrs. Liu want to say that the gold and silver thread I gave to Cousin Xun is a fake?" Fu Rongpi asked with a smile.

Everyone knows that Fu Rongrong is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, the most distressed daughter of the Hou Ye, she wants to give a gift, how can she rarely send a fake to tarnish the reputation of the Marquis of Jingyang?

What's more, Fu Rongrong's identity is there, even if the Liu family wants to shirk responsibility, they don't dare to splash dirty water on Fu Rongrong's head.

At this moment, the Liu family is completely speechless, dumb eats coptis, and can't say anything about the suffering.
