Chapter 35: The Silver Needle

The boring life day after day in the Suzaku Building is like studying at the police academy at the beginning, after getting up early and using the morning food, you have to train your walking manners, and in order to maintain your figure, you are not allowed to use the daytime eclipse.

Cheng Qi was teary-eyed, lunch was very important.

Didn't your teachers say that?

The original owner's low blood sugar is so hungry that you have wood.

In the afternoon, they also have to practice calligraphy, painting and inserting willows, and every few days not only have to test the fingering of the guqin, but also have to play two or two pairs of chess, and the losing side has no night to eat.

When Cheng Qi was in the modern world, the old uncle who claimed to be half a Chinese medicine doctor once taught her Go, which was a half-ass, and the memory of the original owner was still there, so she also won more and lost less.

It's just that when she loses, she will wake up hungry from her sleep, and sleeping on an empty stomach is simply tormenting.

But this is nothing, what Cheng Qi didn't expect the most was homework, of course, this is called late work in the Vermilion Bird Tower.

Aunt Yun would ask them to embroider some delicate patterns every once in a while to test the embroiderers, and tonight they each issued a blue water-colored silk handkerchief, which needed to be embroidered with Gesang flowers at the four corners.

This Gesang flower can be seen everywhere in Dayi Mountain, so there is no need to worry about the cumbersome style.

It's just that Cheng Qi's palm was scratched by the monkey and the injury was not healed, and when she took the needle, the palm of her hand would hurt very much, so Ma Zhen had to help her embroider it together.

In the Vermilion Bird Building at night, the candlelight is faint, a group of girls are wearing different colors of bedclothes, three or two of them sit in front of the desk in front of the tent bed, talking and laughing and embroidering handkerchiefs.

Cheng Qi and Ma Zhen together, connected to the sleepy Feng Se next to her, she looked around at the young and lovely girls in the room, one by one like budding flowers.

If it is placed in modern times, it is the age of the successor of socialism, but in ancient times, he actually had to marry another woman, or marry an old emperor of his grandfather's generation.

Although there is the emperor's young danqing hanging in the Vermilion Bird Tower, he is indeed handsome and chic, but there is a saying that time is not forgiving, and the emperor is obviously deceiving himself by doing this.

Who doesn't know that you have entered the greasy army of middle-aged and elderly people, obviously you are the age of square dancing, and you have to come to spoil the sun of the motherland at eight or nine o'clock, you are shameless.

"Feng Se!"

Ma Zhen shouted in a low voice, quickly put down the handkerchief in his hand, reached out to catch the man who almost fell off the tent bed due to fatigue, and said with a wry smile: "It's better for me to come, you two can rest first." ”

After that, she took the semi-finished product in Feng Se's hand and embroidered it with hard work.

Cheng Qi also looked sleepy, and saw Feng Se fall asleep directly on his bed, so he had to pull the quilt for her, and then look at Ma Zhen, who looked so serious about the appearance of the little jasper.

What a gentle girl.

In modern times, she should be a quiet art student, wearing a beige knit sweater, a white tulle dress and canvas shoes, a pair of gentle smiling eyes, and she talks like a spring breeze.

It's a pity, a child like Ma Zhen was born a victim of the family's power and nobility, but I didn't expect it to lock her up in these years, so that she could be killed in this long and ruthless long river.

"I'll help you."

Cheng Qi couldn't bear to hand over the three of them to Ma Zhen alone, but she chuckled and pushed Cheng Qi's outstretched hand away, and said indifferently: "I'll do it myself, you can sleep first." ”

Cheng Qi frowned helplessly, and whispered: "Don't be so serious, who of us doesn't know, these handkerchiefs will be sold secretly after they are embroidered, and the emperor can't see it, Aunt Yun is deceiving." ”

Ma Zhen lowered his head and chuckled, "It's okay." ”

Cheng Qi couldn't persuade anymore, so he had to pull some quilts and prepare to sleep, but before he could lie down, he saw Wan Jingjing walking up proudly, and threw Ma Zhen two blue water-colored handkerchiefs that had not yet been embroidered with a stitch and a thread: "This is for me and Sister Yi, you have to hurry." ”

Cheng Qi's half-lying body sat up mechanically and slowly, and called Wan Jingjing, who wanted to leave: "The surname is Wan, what do you mean by this?" ”

Her voice was too loud, which provoked the show girls around her to come to see, but she didn't care very much.

I don't know how many times this situation has been repeated in the past days, most of Han Yi and Wan Jingjing's evening work was done with the help of Cheng Qi and Ma Zhen, and the two of them slept sweetly every night.

And Wan Jingjing turned around, hugged her arms and said: "Sister Yi and I are going to sleep, you and Ma Zhen had better move quickly, remember to change the needle, if Aunt Yun sees it, you look good." ”

Ma Zhen was speechless, only gently took the two handkerchiefs and nodded.

Cheng Qi couldn't bear it, he got up halfway on the tent bed, grabbed Wan Jingjing's long hair scattered behind his back, cut his teeth and dragged her back, only dragging her to the ground!

There was a plop, which caused everyone to be stunned.

When did Cheng Qi become so rude, and he was about to catch up with Han Yi, who slapped people at every turn.

And Wan Jingjing's tears of pain came out, she struggled to stand up, and when she saw Cheng Qi snatching the handkerchief in Ma Zhen's hand and throwing it over, she said coldly: "Take it back, don't you have long hands?" ”

Wan Jingjing glared: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Sister Yi?" ”

Cheng Qi sat down cross-legged and said contemptuously: "If you have the courage, you can go." Pointing to the staircase not far away, "Come, come, don't take two steps." ”

Wan Jingjing's face was red with anger, where did she dare to go to Han Yi, turned her head to look at Ma Zhen, and said viciously: "Ma Zhen, what do you mean?" ”

The man naturally didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he said abruptly: "I'll just embroider, don't make any noise." ”

Seeing Ma Zhen so wronged, Cheng Qi was even more angry, but as the man said, she could afford to offend Han Yi, but she couldn't, so she turned over and fell asleep angrily.

Wan Jingjing saw that Cheng Qi was willing to give up, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at everyone angrily, and then swaggered downstairs.

When she left, a clinical girl said in a low voice: "Ma Zhen, they are all girls from merchants to be drafted, why are you so afraid of Wan Jingjing, don't you think that you may also be selected?" ”

"That is, the business of the Wan Jingjing family is not as good as your Wanjia's Zhen Kiln Workshop."

When Ma Zhen heard this, he had to smile bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it." ”

When everyone saw her like this, they all stopped talking with different expressions.

Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it.

Relying on Cheng Qi today, he is still like this, and it is really difficult to change the nature of the country.

And unconsciously, everyone finished embroidering, only Ma Zhen was still insisting, and the oil lamp on the case had been replaced a few times, and the red light made her keep crying.

Fortunately, this is the last handkerchief, Ma Zhen picked it up, and was just about to gesture with the needle, but when he was holding the handkerchief hard, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the tail finger, hissed in pain, and immediately threw the handkerchief out far away.

Cheng Qi, who was woken up, opened his worried eyes and leaned forward and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Ma Zhen's face was pale in pain, and he trembled and handed his hand over, and there was a silver thin short needle on the fingertip of the ring finger of his left hand, about a centimeter long, and the wound was bleeding outward.

This Ma Zhen's hand was really unlucky, it only healed when he bleed, and he was pricked so deeply by needles, Cheng Qi frowned: "What was left on the handkerchief sent by Wan Jingjing?" ”

Ma Zhen bit his lip and wept aggrievedly.

"Seems to be."

She cried out unbearably.

Cheng Qi saw that the needle was much shorter than the embroidery needle they used, and it was thinner and sharper, and he did everything possible to pin it in the inner layer, knowing that it was Wan Jingjing's intention, and the fire rushed up.

Ma Zhen's choked cry added fuel to the fire.

Damn, isn't it good for everyone to have healthy competition, you have to do these despicable things!

Who doesn't know the entire Vermilion Bird Tower, and Ma Zhen's hands are the best-looking.

Boneless soft.

This is praised by the assessment aunt in the palace herself, is Wan Jingjing jealous like this?

Cheng Qi's sense of justice and the anger that had been stuffy all night completely exploded, she pinned the short needle back into the veil, didn't even wear shoes, walked straight down to the first floor, and shouted angrily: "Wan Jingjing! ”
