Chapter 44: Pumpkin Cake (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

The appearance of Hua Duchen surprised the people of the Brocade Mansion.

The woman who checked the roster at the door stepped forward to salute, "Welcome to the young master of the Hua family." "With the status of the brocade mansion, it is naturally on an equal footing with the Hua family. But she is just an embroiderer, and the difference between the identities of the two is huge, and she must be respectful.

She barely managed to stabilize her mind, but her heart couldn't help but pound, and pink shame crept up her cheeks. knew that he shouldn't look at him, but he secretly glanced at him and hurriedly lowered his eyes. Her eyes fell on the bulging Adam's apple around his neck, and she only felt that she could not breathe, and she could not even stand steadily.

This was the normal reaction of a woman when she saw him.

For some reason, this was a scene that Twilight had long been accustomed to, but today it had a different feeling. He had always known that the woman would lose all resistance in front of him.

"I heard that you are trying to embroider girls, let me take a look."

"Please wait, young master, while I go back." The woman's voice was full of shame.

There is no need for her to return, the talented mother Wen Zhiyi has already followed Tiangong Niang to greet her. It's strange that there is such a big movement at the door, and they don't know.

Tiangong Niang smiled and gave a salute: "What kind of wind blew the young master of the Hua family here?" ”

She and Hua Duchen arrived in Nanfeng Town on their front and back feet, but there was no intersection. The status of the Brocade Mansion is transcendent, since Hua Duchen did not say it, she didn't need to deliberately make friends, but she had to avoid suspicion.

When she saw Hua Duchen today, she was also surprised.

Hua Duchen returned the salute with a smile, her movements were like flowing water, and she was extremely elegant, which made the women behind her unable to suppress their excitement and make a commotion.

"I've always heard of embroidery girls, but I haven't seen it yet. Will I disturb you when I rise up at this time? "Embroidery girl try, he has seen it, but not in this life.

"Young master, you are too polite. If it's someone else, it's naturally not possible. But with your status, don't say it's an embroidery girl test, it's the brocade mansion in Beijing, and it also opens the door for you. ”

Tiangong Niang's words were extremely ingenious, not only pointing out the unusual nature of the embroidery girl's attempt, but also giving Hua Duchen enough face.

"I haven't asked yet, what is the name of the girl?" Tiangong Niang of the Brocade Mansion, Hua Duchen knows a few, but she doesn't recognize the one in front of her.

"Under Li Qing."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Li, so I'll bother today."

"Whereever, please come in. As long as the young master does not think the place is rough, he will be honored in the future. ”

As the two spoke, they walked inside, followed by Wen Zhiyi and Jackdaw.

After Hua Duchen left, under the organization of the guards of the Brocade Mansion, order was restored at the gate of the fence.

The woman holding the roster is called Jia Peiling, and she is the embroidery girl in the embroidery school in Nanfeng Town. Her father is an ordinary talent, he has never been able to gain fame in his life, and he has been a master in the county for a period of time, and he has a reputation in the town. After she became an embroidery girl, the family's life became better and better.

She touched her still hot cheeks, picked up the roster again, and began to roll out the roster. It's just that Twilight's shadow is always hovering in her mind, which makes her seem absent-minded and wrong several times.

Xu Sanchun came to her and reported his name, "Tiantai Township, Xu Sanchun." ”

Jia Peiling slid her finger on the roster several times, but couldn't find her name, and frowned.

Xu Sanchun stood on tiptoe and reminded her, "Girl, I'm from Tiantai Township." "There are several villages under Tiantai Township, she is not from the village, she is in the township, Jia Peiling is looking for it in the village register, of course she can't find it.

"Ahh Jia Peiling's face turned red, and she turned to the page of Tiantai Township again, and found Xu Sanchun's name and sketched it. With so many people watching, she was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed.

Xu Sanchun saw her embarrassment and opened his mouth to relieve her, "Dare to ask the girl, when will the embroidery girl start?" "The other party is a formal embroiderer, she doesn't want to set up an enemy before she passes the embroidery test.

"Two quarters a minute." Jia Peiling was busy.

"Thank you, girl." Xu Sanchun bowed respectfully.

Jia Peiling breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at her gratefully, and said, "Come in and prepare." She picked up a number plate from the basket next to her and handed it to Xu Sanchun, instructing: "After entering, stand according to the number plate." ”

Xu Sanchun thanked him again and walked into the square.

In the square, the women who took the roll call stood inside. Xu Sanchun glanced at her number plate, number sixty-five, and she stood at the end of the line.

The early summer mornings are pleasant, but as time goes on, they get warmer. There were a lot of people in the square, but when they came here, no one dared to complain, and they all stood very well.

When it was time to arrive, Li Qing and Wen Zhiyi appeared at the door, and Li Qing said: "This embroidery girl test, everyone will go all out." I'm in the Brocade Mansion, waiting for everyone. ”

Wen Zhiyi opened her mouth and announced the order of the exam, "Exam in batches according to the number plate." The first batch of candidates, 1 to 30. ”

"Please go to the candidates from the first to the thirtieth and line up at the door to enter in turn." The embroidery girl maintained this order, checked the number plate at the door, and a group of women entered in turn.

As long as the Great Shang Dynasty lasted, the embroidery girl tried for as long as it lasted. Over such a long period of time, a set of effective conventions has long been formed.

Xu Sanchun glanced at his number plate, thirty at a time, then he should be in the third group.

The sun is rising higher and higher, but fortunately, the women here are not delicate daughters. A girl who grew up in the countryside, this little hardship is nothing.

When the first group came out, everyone looked at them. Just by seeing their expressions, you know that no one has passed. Sure enough, only the second group was allowed in, and it was not announced that someone had passed the embroidery test.

The air in the square suddenly became solemn.

These women who came to take the exam, except for very few special circumstances, who didn't want to pass the embroidery exam? With their family background, only by passing the embroidery test can they change their fate.

Everyone watched the second group of women enter, hoping for good news. Although someone passes, it doesn't mean that they can pass it, but there is always hope.

We all know that the embroidery girl is difficult to try, and the last time Tiantai Township was wiped out, none of them passed. But when it came to me, I really knew what was difficult.

Xu Sanchun felt a little hungry in his belly. I went out early in the morning, and I was excited and didn't eat anything. She looked around, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she secretly took out a piece of pumpkin pie and nibbled on it in small bites.

It's better to be a dumb girl, knowing that you will be hungry.

While eating, she thought happily.

I was eating happily when I heard the sound of swallowing saliva next to me. She looked up to see a woman standing next to her, staring at the pumpkin cake in her hand and swallowing saliva.

Xu Sanchun smiled, handed over the remaining piece of pumpkin cake, and whispered, "Give it to you." ”

The woman blushed and waved her hand. Staring at other people's food was embarrassing enough, and she was embarrassed to take it.
