The first day of December every year is the most important day in the embroidery workshop of the Tianhao Dynasty, because the embroidery will be held on this day.

The Embroidery Tribute Festival is a conference held by the imperial court, which will gather the top figures in the embroidery workshop industry in various regions of the Tianhao Dynasty to compete on the spot, and the top three embroidery workshops in the competition will obtain the right to supply royal clothing.

The right to supply royal clothing is not only a great benefit for the embroidery workshop, but more importantly, fame.

And Yingyue Tower, for so many years, has been the winner of the leader of the Embroidery Tribute Society, so it is well-deserved to be famous inside and outside the Celestial Empire.

In mid to late November, there are more and more embroidery workshops that go to Tianhao City to participate in the embroidery tribute meeting, so that most of the high-class inns are gradually filled with people, and the large and small embroidery clubs in the city begin to hold various embroidery exchange activities, which is not lively.

The first-class embroidery room of the full moon building is still quiet and busy as usual, and the delicate jade hands of the first-class embroidery girls are like butterflies flying among the flowers, light and jumping.

Mei Niang quietly refilled the water for everyone, and stood silently aside, her eyes lingering on the delicate and picturesque embroideries, so focused that she almost didn't notice the appearance of Ouyang.

In addition to Mama Lu, who came in with the Ouyang family, there was also an ordinary-looking but firm and calm woman.

"Madam is here," Mei Niang suddenly woke up, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Ouyang smiled kindly and shouted, "Mei Niang, is this little guy in your belly still obedient?" ”

When Mei Niang heard this, a motherly smile appeared on her face, touched her stomach that was already obvious, and bent down towards Ouyang's family, "Mrs. Hui, this little guy is very well-behaved, Mrs. Xie cares." ”

"I should have kicked you now, right?" Ouyang calculated the days in his heart, looked at Mei Niang's stomach with interest and asked.

"Yes, you started kicking me a few days ago," Mei Niang's eyes were full of satisfaction, "It's just that the strength is still small, and you have to calm down to feel it." ”

Ouyang said with a smile, "Wait for a few days to have a bigger belly, and you will definitely be able to kick you so that you can't sleep peacefully." ”

Then he walked into the embroidery room and said to the four first-class embroiderers who had already gotten up, "Let's see what distinguished guests I brought today?" ”

"Xue Niangzi hasn't seen you for a long time."

An Niangzi smiled and said, "Xue Niangzi is really our honored guest of Yingyue Building, this year is earlier than the time in Tianhao City in previous years." ”

Every year, several first-class ladies at the embroidery tribute meeting will exchange embroidery methods, and the relationship is not bad, Xue Tianqing returned the salute with a smile, "I have heard the name of Yingyue Building for a long time, and the embroidery tribute will come and go in a hurry over the years but have never visited the door, come today, you sisters can invite me to drink a good tea." ”

"It's as it should be." Ouyang was overjoyed, and soon instructed the maid to clean up the reception room next to her, and a group of people went in and sat down.

Xue Tianqing drank tea, her eyes stared at the rising heat, the breath on her body gradually became cold, and she suddenly said, "In previous years, because Tianqing Embroidery Village was busy embroidering, it was only on the eve of the start of the embroidery meeting that I came to Tianhao City. This time, I was free, and I finally felt the excitement of the embroidered tribute meeting. ”

"It's a pity that our Tianqing Embroidery Village can't participate in the embroidery tribute meeting this year."

The words are amazing.

Even the Ouyang family, who was originally happy, froze, when Xue Tianqing went to the Changning Hou Mansion to find her this morning, he only said that he wanted to communicate with the first-class embroiderer of Yingyue Lou about the embroidery art of Ning Qing's embroidery method, and it was naturally a good thing to be able to have an in-depth understanding of Ning Qing's embroidery method, but now that he sees Xue Tianqing like this, I am afraid that there is something else.

"Xue Niangzi, but what happened?"

Xue Tianqing tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing an ugly smile, she stretched out her hand from her wide sleeves, and saw that her head was wrapped in a thick white cloth, "A few days ago, I was cut on my hand when I went out, and I am afraid that it will take three or five months to recover, so I can no longer participate in this year's Embroidery Tribute Meeting." ”

"How could a good end be so badly injured?" Ouyang was startled, leaned forward, and his concern was beyond words.

Xue Tianqing smiled bitterly, "I have lived in Huaiyang City for more than ten years, and I have never gone wrong, this time it was really a coincidence." ”

"Originally, it would be okay not to take a year off and not participate in the embroidery tribute meeting," Xue Tianqing said, "But thinking about the Magnolia Fang taking away my Ning Qing embroidery method, which is selling well in Tianhao City, I feel unfair." ”

Xue Tianqing and Xue Yanniang were originally the same clan as the Xue family, because Xue Tianqing took over the family heirloom embroidery workshop, they were looking for a suitable embroidery girl in the clan, and Xue Yanniang was one of them.

Xue Yanniang was originally a concubine among the children of the side line, but after getting married, she was abandoned by her husband's family due to a vicious illness, and she was not treated everywhere when she returned to the clan.

After getting well, Xue Yanniang went to Huaiyang City to join Xue Tianqing, so Xue Tianqing accepted her as the embroidery lady of Tianqing Embroidery Village.

Xue Yanniang has a very solid foundation in embroidery, because she is an abandoned woman, she gets into the embroidery work on weekdays, Xue Tianqing saw that she was honest, and slowly began to teach her the azure embroidery method.

Gradually, Xue Yanniang became the first-class embroidery girl in Tianqing Embroidery Village except for Xue Tianqing.

Xue Tianqing trusted his own family, and after researching the Ning Qing embroidery method, he also taught it to Xue Yanniang.

I didn't want Xue Yanniang to follow the shopkeeper of Yulanfang, and took away the Ning Qing embroidery method, so angry that Xue Tianqing couldn't get up in bed for half a month.

"Ning Qing's embroidery method came from my hand," Xue Tianqing said lightly, "I was going to compete with Yulanfang at the embroidery tribute meeting, but I didn't expect an accident." ”

"Today I came to visit Yingyue Tower," Xue Tianqing looked at An Niangzi, "I want to teach you the Ningqing embroidery method, this year's embroidery tribute meeting, I hope you can continue to win the first place." ”

"What?" The four first-class ladies exclaimed in unison, the exclusive embroidery method is the foundation of the embroidery workshop, and it is easy to teach the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop, let alone to other embroidery workshops? Xue Tianqing's words were really shocking.

"Not only that," Xue Tianqing smiled, "After the Embroidery Tribute Meeting, I also plan to make the Ningqing Embroidery Method public, as long as I am willing to learn, I can come to my Tianqing Embroidery Village to learn." ”

Pat pat pat

Ouyang applauded silently, his eyes full of respect, "Xue Niangzi is really amazing, let me admire it." ”

Xue Tianqing smiled lightly, "If you want to disturb the Yingyue Building for two days, please don't dislike it." ”

In the next few days, Yingyue Lou pushed back several orders, because the first-class embroidery girls were not available!

In the first-class embroidery room, the lights were on almost all night, and the four first-class embroiderers all listened attentively to Xue Tianqing's introduction of Ningqing embroidery, learning and trying, and exchanging many embroidery skills with each other in the process, each with their own gains.

During this period, it was Mei Niang who made everyone not pay attention.

She has been silently following An Niangzi's side, although she has never spoken, but Xue Niangzi's every stitch, every thread, every explanation, she carefully remembered in her heart.
