Chapter Twenty-Nine: Embroidery Girl Test (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Her face is really in trouble, and if she is seen by her own man, it will be really troublesome. Thinking of this, she was extremely looking forward to Xu Sanchun being able to successfully enter the Brocade Mansion, and there would be no problems.
"What's the matter with my sister, tell me quickly." Mrs. Sun was extremely enthusiastic.
"It's nothing, I've only heard people talk about embroidery girls, but in the Xu family, the news is blocked, and nothing is clear." Xu Sanchun said: "So, if you want to ask my sister, how can I get through?" ”
Mrs. Sun waved her handkerchief to sit down, and said, "You are asking the right person about this." When I was sixteen, I went to participate. ”
"When it comes to passing qualifications, no one knows who can pass before they take the exam. Some of them are obviously bad, but they have passed. Somehow I didn't know how to pass that year, not a single person in the entire town of Nanfeng passed. ”
"Why is that?" Xu Sanchun asked.
"The white silk used for the exam is not an ordinary white silk, it is specially made by the Brocade Mansion for the embroidery exam." Mrs. Sun recalled that year and said: "Everyone embroidered the same formation, which is the most basic Qingshen Array and Huangliang Array. Whether you can pass the exam or not, you will know immediately after embroidering the formation. ”
The first time someone talked about the embroidery girl test in detail, Xu Sanchun listened very carefully and asked, "How can you know it right away?" ”
"Because of the qualified embroiderer, the moment the formation is completed, there will be mana appearing." Mrs. Sun sighed and said, "However, most people don't have it, and I didn't have it back then. ”
"How does mana manifest?" Xu Sanchun asked curiously.
"You don't even know that?" Mrs. Sun glanced at her, in the Great Shang Dynasty, things about mana can be regarded as common sense. Unexpectedly, this newly recognized girl didn't know.
Xu Sanchun shook his head and said, "I have endless work to do in the Xu family, and I have to practice embroidery every day, and no one talks to me." ”
Xu Jinshui and his wife treated her and the dumb girl so harshly, and had such a good opportunity, of course she had to give each other an eye drop. Since they have done this kind of evil deeds, they should not be afraid of being known.
"And this kind of thing!" Mrs. Sun said angrily: "Aren't you dumb girl his sister?" You are his niece, not a slave. ”
Xu Sanchun said: "After all, we live in the Xu family, so we should do our best." "This kind of thing stops at the point, and it's not beautiful to talk too much.
"You're just so good at being bullied!" Mrs. Sun touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid, I will make decisions for you when I have a sister in the future." I don't even know the mana, how the Xu family bullied you. ”
"The color of the mana presented by the array diagram corresponds to the color of the moon halo of the dark moon in the sky, from the outside to the inside: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. When the embroiderer girl trys, the most common is red, and occasionally talented women will appear orange. ”
"What about purple?" Xu Sanchun asked. She remembered the pale purple that had appeared on the tip of her needle several times.
"Purple, it is said that only the girls of the Brocade Mansion in the capital who live in it will have mana." Mrs. Sun smiled: "Don't think about it so much, as long as you can appear red, you can pass the embroidery test." ”
Xu Sanchun pressed the doubts in his heart and turned to ask about other things. Mrs. Sun told everything she knew and said, "These are not secrets, you go back and prepare for the embroidery test." ”
In her heart, she felt more and more pity for Xu Sanchun, the child. Embroidery girl try, where is it so easy? After so many years, it is obviously the same embroidery method, the same needle and the same thread, but some people can show off the formation, and some people no matter how hard they try, the embroidery is just ordinary embroidery.
There's really no fairness in this matter.
After Xu Sanchun left, Mrs. Sun sent someone to Tiantai Township to inquire about her life experience. Although she said it pitifully, Mrs. Sun still paid some attention and verified what she said first.
The result of the inquiry was even more excessive than what Xu Sanchun himself said. It turned out that she also had the reputation of being an illegitimate child.
After hearing the reply, Mrs. Sun had other plans in her heart.
The embroidery girl test is almost here, and the Tiangong Niang sent from the Beijing Brocade Mansion has already arrived in Nanfeng Town. There were 27 counties in the Great Shang Dynasty, and Nanfeng Town was under the jurisdiction of Wu'an County. The embroidery test in each county is in charge of a Tiangong Niang, who personally presides over the embroidery test in each township.
The passing standard of the embroidery girl test is so simple, but the Tiangong Niang sent to visit in person, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter and will never allow any omissions.
With Mrs. Sun's explanation, Xu Sanchun finally figured out the composition of the Brocade Mansion.
From the beginning of the town, an embroidery school was opened. The woman who has just passed the embroidery test enters the embroidery school and begins to study, and is called the embroidery girl. Up to the top are Wan Niang, Hui Xin Niang, Qiao Zhi Niang, teaching in various places.
If you want to become a Tiangong Niang, you can't just have high mana, you have to be recommended by the county guards from all over the country, and after passing the assessment of the Brocade Mansion, you can work in the Brocade Mansion in the capital. Tiangongniang's status is noble, one level higher than the official rank of the county guard.
Further up, there is the brocade official in charge of the affairs of the brocade mansion, and the big brocade official in charge of the brocade mansion.
For ordinary people, the girl with the most noble status in the brocade mansion is Tiangong Niang. Every six years, Tiangong Niang will come to the county she is responsible for, go to every township, and preside over the embroidery test.
This is a big deal, but the focus of the Xu family is not here.
"You go back to Sun Yuan for me, we agreed!" Wang gritted his teeth. A good grandson, knowing that they urgently need money, negotiated the price with her at this juncture.
Aunt Deng opened her eyes and smiled: "Good sister, shouldn't you end it sooner?" Why bother. No matter how much the bride price is, all she gets is a happy money, as long as the marriage can be completed.
Wang Shi said angrily: "Okay, okay, you go quickly." Ming'er brought the bride price and carried the people away. "She must clear Xu Sanchun's big trouble before the embroidery girl tries.
Tiantai Township has not had an embroidery girl for many years, but I am not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
Before returning home, she came to the firewood house used to lock people up in Baojia Mansion. The town does not have the power to deal with criminals, and when there are suspects, they will temporarily find a place to lock them up, and then escort them to the county to wait for their fate.
"The two eldest brothers have worked hard, please drink some tea to moisten your throats." Wang Shi touched a few big coins and put them in the hands of the two people who were looking at the door with a smile.
"You just go in." One of them shook the large amount of money in his hand and raised his chin in motion. Xu Lan was a prisoner specially ordered by Wang Cheng, and they did not dare to leave their posts lightly.
There are no prisons in Baojiafu, and they are not jailers. Just took Wang Cheng's order to watch Xu Lan.
"Mother!" Seeing her coming, Xu Lan stood up and rushed to the fence, looked at her eagerly, and said, "Mother, can I get out?" ”
"Not yet." Wang shook his head and said, "It's almost there!" Ming's children and grandchildren came to carry Xu Sanchun away, and with these two hundred taels of silver, I don't believe in protecting the armor and not letting him go! ”
