Chapter Ninety-Nine: Ability is not determined by age

Although there were doubts in his heart that could not be dispersed, Su Jin didn't say a word.

Huo San followed her to the mule cart to the county seat with trepidation, although he tried his best to pretend to be serious on his face, but under his ass was like a grass mound that had been stuffed into a fire, he couldn't sit still horizontally and vertically, and he kept rubbing back and forth.

Rubbing himself was really uncomfortable, and he began to have nothing to say.

"Sister-in-law, when I came today, I saw Sister Gu going out with a big bag and a small bag, where is she going?"

Su Jin also noticed Gu Nier's move, but she just ......

Gu Nier was probably afraid of attracting Mrs. Gu's attention, so she didn't say anything except Su Jin before she left, and when she left, she chose to touch the road in the dark before dawn.

At that hour, how could Huo San happen to see it near Gu's house?

When Huo San knocked on the door in the past few days, the sky was bright.

Could it be that this person came before dawn, just guarding the door and making no noise?

But if there is nothing important, what is he doing so tirelessly in front of his house in the dark?

What is the work that Gu Yu gave him?

Su Jin lowered his eyes to remove the subtlety in his eyes, and said slowly: "I guess I went out to live for a while, I don't know very well." ”

"Why didn't you ask when you saw her?"

Huo San didn't notice when he showed his feet, and he still sighed to himself and said, "I don't know Sister Gu well, how can I ask this kind of thing rashly." ”

"It's just that I see that her posture is quite scary, and I don't know that I thought she would never come back."

Su Jin smiled lightly and didn't answer, Huo San muttered to himself for a while, and couldn't help but say, "By the way, sister-in-law, you followed Brother Yu to the academy before, what did the academy say?" Is Mr. Chen still angry with him? He is back this time, can he go back and continue to study with Mr. Chen? ”

Su Jin casually played with the grass stalks that he picked up casually, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen has a large number of them, so naturally he is too lazy to worry about him, so he will arrange them when he goes back this time." ”

"That's good, that's good......"

Huo San patted his chest with relief, and said faintly: "As long as you come back alive, you can go back, then this risk is not in vain......

Huo San himself didn't even realize that he was muttering, so naturally he missed the shock that suddenly rose in Su Jin's eyes.

By the time he had done his psychological construction, Su Jin had already lowered his head to hide all his excess emotions, but he never said a word along the way.

When the mule cart arrived in front of Zhou's house, Su Jin took the sign he got last time and asked the gatekeeper to report it, and when he turned his head and saw Huo San, who was following him closely, his eyes were a little more playful.

"I'm going to see the daughter of the Zhou family, how can you, a foreign man, follow me in? Why don't you find a place to sit and rest for a while, and I'll join you when I come out? ”

"No, no, no, no!"

Huo San shook his head into a rattle, and said without thinking: "Brother Yu has repeatedly instructed me to follow you step by step, how can I ......?"

"Not an inch?"

Su Jin couldn't help but laugh.

"I won't lose it, what are you doing with such a tight grip?"

She waved her hand before Huo San could open his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll come out after a while, if you really don't worry, why don't you wait in front of the door?" ”

Huo San was so entangled that he couldn't do it, but he also knew in his heart that what Su Jin said was reasonable, and after hesitating repeatedly, he gritted his teeth fiercely, pointed to a tree directly opposite the gate of the Zhou family, and said solemnly: "Then sister-in-law, you are optimistic, I will wait for you there, and I will see you as soon as you come out." ”

"When you come out, we'll go to my house right away."

Su Jin snorted without smiling, nodded and walked in with the subordinate who came out to greet him.

Huo San pinched his eyebrows in a headache, and squatted under the tree with a dejected face.

Walking through the corridor, Su Jin followed behind Miss Zhou's maidservant not far away, and her mind was spinning fast.

If Huo San had just listened to Gu Yu's words and sent her here, he would not have been so nervous.

There was only one reason why he could be so loud, and that was that Gu Yu and Huo San were sure that she might encounter some danger today, or that something not so good was happening in a place she couldn't see.

Gu Yu didn't directly tell her what the danger came from, Huo San knew but didn't dare to say it.

And Gu Yu's choice to avoid risks was to let Huo San take her away in the name of celebrating her birthday.

Nine times out of ten, today is not Huo San's mother's birthday at all, these are all lies that Gu Yu pulled out to fool her.

Su Jin quickly cleared up all the known clues, and couldn't tell for a moment whether the anger of being deceived that sprung up from the bottom of his heart, or whether he should move Gu Yu to think of protecting his heart at such a time.

She followed the maid into the boudoir she had been to last time with mixed feelings, and before she could stand firmly, a sharp female voice exploded in her ears.

"Oh, this is what you call embroidery?"

A woman in a bright yellow gauze skirt looked at Su Jin critically, and said in a weird manner: "Zhou Yue, weren't you fooled by that villain who doesn't have long eyes?" ”

"The embroidery girls with qualifications and abilities are all elderly mothers-in-law, only when they have enough time to have enough kung fu in their hands, the little lady you are looking for will ...... Tsk, look at her tender appearance, I'm afraid that she hasn't pinched a few embroidery threads when she lives so big, what real skills can she have? ”

"Your rare Shu brocade is in the hands of such a person, I'm afraid it will be trampled in vain."

Miss Zhou is not a good-natured person, but today she had the intention to show off, but who knew that she would be disgusted before she could say anything, and her face immediately became not very good-looking.

Feeling the tension in the room, Su Jin's eyes turned slightly and smiled, and he said unhurriedly: "This girl is laughing." ”

"Although embroidery work is about qualifications, it depends more on God's appreciation of food, and it is about talent, and ability is not determined by age."

"Although I am not very old, I think my skills are acceptable, and I will never live up to Miss Zhou's expectations."

The girl in yellow raised her chin disdainfully and sneered, "Really? ”

"That girl wants to take a closer look today, how much of your real ability can boast of!"

Su Jin ignored the straightforward provocation in her words, silently stepped forward to open the cloth bag in his arms, and said softly, "Miss Zhou, please move to the back to try on." ”

Zhou Yue's maidservant held back the fire and went to pick up the cloth bag in Su Jin's arms, but who knew that Su Jin didn't let go.

She smiled apologetically at the maidservant and explained, "I'll do it." ”

"The way to wear this colorful dark flower cloud brocade skirt is different from the common style, in order to avoid mistakes, I will demonstrate it first."

"Flowing color dark flower cloud brocade skirt? I can't take out two catties, but there are a lot of verbal flowers. ”

"Huang Ying!"

Zhou Yue, who had a dark face, couldn't bear to slap the table, gritted her teeth and said, "Are you here to give me advice, or are you here to block me?" ”

"If you don't want to come, then you go out, I don't ask you to stay!"

Huang Ying had a little more embarrassment on her face when she heard this, but she restrained her stinging edge with a little interest, and said with a wry smile: "Zhou Yue, what are you talking about?" ”

"If I hadn't tried to help you, why would I have rushed over at this time? Hey, the material of Shu brocade is rare, you hurry up and change it, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to deal with this big-talking mother-in-law, go quickly. ”

Hearing that this person classified himself as a mother-in-law, Su Jin silently gritted his back molars, and without saying a word, he hugged the cloth bag and followed him to the back of the screen.

When she said that she wanted to do it herself, the maidservants who were robbed of the work in the house subconsciously thought that she wanted to ask for credit in front of Zhou Yue.

But when she really saw the steps she took to help Zhou Yue dress, the people who were still disdainful changed their faces one after another.

Su Jin didn't say anything big, it was really different.

Su Jin half-squatted on the ground and picked up the last belt to deftly tie a beautiful knot, clapped his hands and stood up straight and said: "This colorful dark flower cloud brocade skirt seems to have no pattern on it, only the color of the fabric itself, from the waist down to the skirt, it is embroidered with dark flowers that are not obvious with special techniques, and the degree to which the patterns are displayed is different in different places of light and shadow." ”

"Close the window and light a candle."

The maidservant who was called was stunned and went to light the candlestick, the candlelight flickered slightly, and the skirt that had not been able to see the pattern immediately floated out of a faint silver pattern, which jumped vividly under the faint light, and at first glance it looked as if it had just been taken off the painting.

The maidservant holding the candlestick secretly inhaled and covered her mouth, and Zhou Yue, who was still a little dissatisfied, stretched out her arms and turned around, so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Seeing her smile, Su Jin quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Now if you go outside and walk around in the sun, the pattern will be different." ”

Zhou Yue was already overjoyed, but she couldn't stand for a moment when she heard this, so she immediately walked out with her skirt.

The people in the house followed out in a big way, and Huang Ying, who was waiting to see the joke, didn't react too much to what was going on, stood up with a suspicious face, and heard Zhou Yue's loud cheers before she reached the door.

"Not bad, not bad! Well done! ”

"Come on, go and get ten taels of silver for reward!"

The maidservant who got the order hurriedly left, Su Jin rubbed her sore wrist, looked at the face of the extra ten taels and put on a decent smile, and said slowly: "The dark pink and light pink are stacked in turn in the sun, showing the playful peach blossom appearance in spring, which just sets off the original color of this material." ”

"The pink color is not visible in the dark light, and the silver moire is revealed."

"The moire is elegant and mostly used for men, and a little less delicate for the daughter's family, which can be matched with the looming peach blossom pattern to show the taste, so that the pink color that is easy to be ignored is not tacky, and the peach color in the clouds is more stylish."

"Miss Zhou is just right to wear this outfit, and it complements each other very well, but your accessories may need to be changed."

Zhou Yue was overjoyed to get such a satisfactory dress, and when she heard Su Jin's words, she immediately said, "Change it immediately!" ”

"Come on, come on, you come in and change it for me."

"Come on, go open the makeup box and take out all the appropriate jewelry!"

Zhou Yue gave an order, and the people in the courtyard moved together.

Huang Ying stood by the door in surprise and forgot to move, but no one cared about her at this time.

Su Jin held back the irritability in his heart and followed closely, waiting for the maid to take off the pile of head jewelry on Zhou Yue's head that could shake the blind, ignoring the pile of red gold gems that were put out, and only picked two silver hairpins in the style of butterflies wearing flowers on the tray and gently inserted them into Zhou Yue's hair.

Removed the heavy makeup that was deliberately smeared, and the silver hairpin was paired with simple pearl earrings.

Su Jin took half a step back with the thrush pen in his hand, and after taking a closer look, he grabbed the jade ring on the tray with four or five silver bells tied to it and hung it around Zhou Yue's waist.

She exhaled slowly at the maid's exclamation, and said with a smile, "That's it." ”

"Take the bronze mirror and ask Miss Zhou to take a look."
