Chapter 125: Cat and Mouse
Yuning Palace.
Mama Sui refilled a pot of warm tea for Concubine Shu, and spread a few pastries that Concubine Shu had always loved to eat on the table, and reported in a low voice, "Concubine Niangniang, everything is going on according to your instructions at the embroidery ceremony." ”
When Concubine Shu heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she was about to ask questions, when she heard her daughter Li Rushan's voice from outside the hall.
She smiled and waved her hand at Mama Sui, "Go and let Rushan in." ”
Li Rushan entered the hall and walked quickly to the front of Concubine Shu and saluted, "Rushan has seen the concubine. ”
"Come here," Concubine Shu gently pulled her daughter to sit beside her, "Why do you have time to come here today?" ”
"Mother, I heard that today's embroidery ceremony is very lively," Li Rushan is well-informed, and knows that Concubine Shu supports Yulanfang, because she can't suppress her curiosity, and came to Yuning Palace early," After Gonggong Liu announced that the theme was a cloak, all the embroidery workshops were in a hurry. ”
Concubine Shu looked at her daughter's bright and watery eyes, and asked with a smile, "Do you understand the reason?" ”
Li Rushan wrinkled her nose, "Mother, don't underestimate your daughter!" The competition of the embroidery tribute meeting has always been in three aspects: cutting, sewing and embroidery. Many embroidery workshops take the style as an advantage, such as the new model of the Yingyue Building during this time, which is customized by various noble girls. Now that the theme is cloaks, they have no innate advantages, shouldn't they make a fuss? ”
Concubine Shu listened to her daughter's analysis quite reasonable, nodded in agreement, "This aspect is correct. ”
She slowed down, stretched out her hand and tapped Li Rushan's nose, "But do you know that Yingyue Lou didn't express dissatisfaction after knowing the theme. What is the reason for this? ”
Li Rushan didn't know this, and asked in a daze, "Mother, why is this?" ”
Concubine Shu took a sip of tea without hesitation, and said leisurely, "This is the essence of Yingyue Tower." No matter what kind of theme, you can do it quietly and go all out. Being able to take the first place in the embroidery tribute meeting all year round is not just talking, relying on real power. ”
Li Rushan frowned, with what she had always understood, the mother concubine would not speak without purpose.
It's just that the four first-class ladies of Yingyue Building were unable to attend the embroidery tribute meeting due to illness, and they will definitely lose to Magnolia Fang in embroidery.
Now that he has lost the advantage of style, it is impossible to win the championship no matter how you look at it.
Seeing Li Rushan tilting her head and thinking, Concubine Shugui couldn't help but smile and said, "Although the four first-class ladies of Yingyue Building did not come, Mei Niang, who participated in today's competition, is also a strong embroidery girl, and it is not yet known who will lose or win in Yulanfang and Yingyue Building." ”
Li Rushan nodded as if she didn't understand, and asked curiously, "Mother, why does your daughter think that you are expecting Yingyue Lou to win?" ”
When Concubine Shu heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled, "It is worthy of the little padded jacket of the mother's concubine, and she knows her mother's thoughts very well." ”
She stretched out her hand and ordered a few plates of dim sum on the table, looked at Li Rushan and said, "Who is the leader, who is defeated, what does it matter." It's just like a snack on this table. ”
Li Rushan rolled her cunning eyes and clapped her hands, "Daughter understands!" It's like the little milk cat in my yard, who caught a few mice and didn't rush to eat them, but teased them to run for their lives, and then caught them back. It's called cat and mouse, mother, is the daughter right? ”
Concubine Shu smiled and shook her head, "Is there anything you describe?" She sighed, "The concubine put a few more chips for Yulanfang, just to make this competition more interesting." Otherwise, only with the Ningqing embroidery method of Magnolia Fang, there is no chance of winning Yingyue Building. ”
The embroidery workshop has prepared a separate compartment for each embroidery workshop as an area for the competition.
In each compartment, two eunuchs and two maids monitored the entire production process to prevent cheating by the embroidery workshop.
All the tools used for cutting, as well as the main fabric, are provided by the Embroidery Tribute Society.
Embroidery workshops can use their own corner materials and accessories according to their characteristics.
Generally speaking, because the clothing embroidery pays attention to the characteristics, as long as it does not violate the big rules, the details of the rest are relatively loose.
In previous years, during the competition, Ouyang and Mama Lu often waited in their seats, and during the period, they would go back to the Hou Mansion to eat and rest, until the competition ended and the competition began before rushing back to Dusk Rock Square.
So much has happened this year, but I can't feel as relieved as before.
Ouyang's, Mama Lu and Jiang Shuli all followed the ladies of the Yingyue Building into the exclusive compartment of the Yingyue Building.
The competition has officially begun.
From the Full Moon Building to the Dusk Stone Square, Mama Lu has never spoken. The poisoning of the four first-class ladies at the same time almost broke her nerves.
Her whole person seems to be like a volcano that is about to erupt, ready to erupt at any time.
Now in her eyes, except for the Ouyang family and Jiang Shuli, everyone looks like a spy who is coming to harm Yingyue Tower!
Including Qin Niangzi, including Mei Niang, even they can't let Mama Lu feel completely at ease.
Not to mention the two yin and yang eunuchs and the palace maids who look at people with their nostrils, no matter how they look at it, they look like bad people who want to give them a knife in the back of Yingyue Tower at any time.
Fortunately, Ouyang sensed her emotions and calmed her down a little, so she was able to hold on calmly.
However, as the mother-in-law in charge of the Yingyue Building, she must not let anything unfavorable to the Yingyue Building happen today!
After entering the compartment, Qin Niangzi took a group of ladies to start cutting and designing, while the sewing lady and Mei Niang rested on the side, Ouyang and Jiang Shuli watched Qin Niangzi silently, and the only one who stood in front of everyone like a stone mountain to guard was Mama Lu.
She stared at the eunuchs and palace maids who were suspected of being spies in turn, taking a firm look at each of their delicate expressions and movements, and quickly analyzing their motives and whether they had the intention to make a move.
After observing the eunuch and the palace maid for half an hour, seeing that they were not abnormal for the time being, Mama Lu quickly turned her head to look at Qin Niangzi and the others who were cutting.
She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, and saw that Qin Niangzi's operation was skillful and orderly, and it was no different from the flying look on weekdays, so she relaxed her heart a little, Qin Niangzi was credible!
Then, he turned his head and continued to look at the eunuch and the palace maid.
Mama Lu guarded like a guard, and the cutting of Qin Niangzi over there was extremely smooth, and the fabrics flew lightly in her hands like butterflies and flowers, and the design of the cutting had been completed in less than an hour.
The eunuch and the palace maid frowned and looked at the nervous Mama Lu, and after walking forward to appraise it, she announced, "The Yingyue Building has been cut. ”
The next sewing is also very smooth, the sewing lady is the best lady in the full moon building, and the exquisite skills in the scene have won the admiration of everyone.
Even the eunuchs and palace maids, who were embarrassed by Mama Lu's expression, couldn't help but praise and announced, "Yingyue Building has completed sewing!" ”
The last step is the most stressful embroidery.
Mei Niang walked to the embroidery table and sat down unhurriedly, not in a hurry, but gently touched the cut and sewn cloak, she closed her eyes to feel the texture of the congealed Huai brocade, and the corners of her mouth showed a confident smile.
At this moment, a man's voice came from outside the compartment, "A few times the flowers sit down and give a, and the silver man and the red wall look into the distance." It seems that this star is not last night, for whom the wind is exposed and the midnight is upset. Lingering thoughts and pulling out the cocoon, like a sad heart peeling banana. In March and May of three or five years, the poor glass of wine never went away. ”
It's Mei Niang's cousin!
Everyone was stunned, could it be that at this critical juncture, Cousin Mei Niang is still coming to make trouble?
