A woman entered the door aggressively. After entering, she threw a piece of embroidery onto the embroidery girl sitting in front of the window.
"Look at what you have embroidered? If this is really sent to the palace and in front of the Seventh Princess, will it embarrass our entire palace?"
"What's wrong with this?" The embroiderer in front of the window stood up quickly, holding the embroidery and asked anxiously.
"Is there anything else wrong? Look... Look, everything is hooked here. Didn't you see it? You didn't see it clearly in such a big place. If this is really sent out, is it you or me who is responsible?
?" the housekeeper said angrily.
The embroiderer spread out the embroidery on the table. The embroidery was not big. What was embroidered on it was a picture of a magpie hugging a branch. It was often covered with some cups and saucers, so it was not the most important place.
When getting married, many things belonging to the newlyweds need to be covered. Some families will put red letters on them, and some will put red cloth on them. Of course, the most particular will also put embroidery on them.
However, this type of embroidery does not have to be the best, just average. After all, it is just for covering the dishes, so the best embroidery can be used.
In the corner of the silk thread, there is indeed an obvious protrusion. The embroidery thread has obviously not been handled well here, and there are still traces of scratches.
Such an obvious mistake can be seen by anyone as long as they are not blind.
The embroiderer clearly remembered that this place was in good condition when she sent it there. She checked it specifically. She knew that she was from outside and was different from other embroiderers in the mansion. This time she came to this mansion to help. Come over in the morning
, when I went back in the evening, the other embroiderers in the house were very exclusive and even left her alone when they were embroidering.
This room is actually not the room of the sewing room, but the utility room next to the sewing room.
It is very small, and it is filled with sundries from the sewing room. Fortunately, there is a window here, otherwise there would be no way to embroider.
"Mommy, it was good when I gave it away before." After looking at it, the embroiderer raised her eyes and said.
"You mean we made a mistake? Did we destroy your embroidery?" The woman raised her eyes and became furious.
"I don't know." The embroiderer put down the embroidery in her hands and did not directly accuse her. "If grandma is not satisfied, we can ask the owner. If there is anything dissatisfied with me, I will not accept it."
This is your business."
Xiu Niang is not from the mansion, and she also accepts this business. This is why other people in the mansion are so exclusive.
I did less than them, but I got more than them. I came here in the morning and went back at night, and I embroidered less than them.
The most unconvincing thing is that everyone is embroidering inconspicuous things, so why does it have to be her? Even without her, the sewing room in the mansion can handle it. I really don’t know why the manager of the mansion hired such an outsider.
Even if the embroidery girls are the best in needlework and thread, their embroidery skills are still the same as theirs.
"What does it have to do with me whether you accept or not? I just found that your embroidery is not good. You can send it to the master now, lest you think that we are suppressing you." The mother-in-law said in a strange way, pointing at the embroidery.
, "You didn't embroider seriously and mistook bad things for good ones. Could it be that you were still polite? I wasn't the only one who noticed it at that time, there were other people as well. I'm really not afraid of you making trouble."
In order to properly treat this foreign embroiderer, it was best to drive her away. The mother-in-law found several witnesses. When she discovered that the embroidery was defective, she was not the only one.
This woman used to be the embroiderer in the house, and later she took charge of some things in the embroidery room when she got older. Now the best embroiderer in the sewing room is her daughter. Originally, her daughter was also the best in the sewing room.
It happened that such a foreigner came and suppressed his daughter. He had previously pointed out the faults in her daughter's embroidery.
How could the mother-in-law be willing to give up?
This is how the farce happened.
Hearing a lot of commotion here, several embroiderers in the large room connected to the small utility room put down their needlework and came over to watch the excitement.
None of them had a good impression of this embroiderer who suddenly appeared in the sewing room.
"What can I say if I don't have the skills?"
"Don't even look at your own needlework. How can someone with such rough hands and feet be an embroiderer? This is not the kind of embroidery from outside. It is sent to the royal family. Who can afford it if something goes wrong?"
"I heard that I had been doing embroidery in an ordinary shop before, how capable I am, that is, the steward of the mansion. I don't know who I heard from, and I thought it was very good, so I invited her here."
“Actually, that’s what it looks like!”…
The embroiderers crowded at the door were all talking and disapproving of the sudden appearance of the embroiderer.
Seeing so many people building momentum for her, the mother-in-law became more and more angry. She put her hands on her waist and said coldly: "You have to compensate for this embroidery."
The silk threads used are all excellent, and the materials are also very good. Ordinary people don't have such good clothing materials, and even the embroidery on the cups and saucers is not comparable to ordinary people.
The embroiderer's face darkened, her ears were full of accusations, and there was another aggressive woman in front of her. Anger appeared on her face, and she slammed her hand on the table: "Shut up!"
The embroiderers were startled and their voices became quiet.
"Mommy, I came to the house to embroider tables and screens and other objects. You...you have always refused to let me embroider. You only let me embroider small objects like this. If you cause such a thing, you are not afraid that the supervisors above will know about it.
Are you punished?"
"You are a little embroidery girl, but you still want to meet the steward of the house? You also want to embroider large pieces, but you can't embroider small ones well. How can you have the nerve to embroider so well?"
After all, the mother-in-law was older, so she was the first to react and retorted.
"Yes or no, it's better to ask the chief steward to make a judgment." The embroiderer said coldly, then rolled up the embroidery and raised it to everyone, "Originally, I wanted to embroider some small ones first, so I won't argue with you first.
, now you see that I am easy to bully, are you really treating me like a soft persimmon?"
"I came to the mansion to embroider large-scale embroidery screens and the like. Now you only let me embroider some ordinary ones. The chief steward told me the time. If you can't finish it, you will bear the responsibility yourself. Since you think I embroider
If the embroidery is damaged, then let’s go see the chief steward together.”
The embroiderer said without fear.
Seeing her like this, a few timid people had already backed down. After looking around, they quietly slipped back to their original positions without looking at the excitement.
In fact, they all know that the new embroiderer is an excellent embroiderer. She was originally asked to embroider large table screens and other things, as well as some special embroidery on clothes. Such small items, even if they are slightly
Flaws are nothing, the big ones are the most important.
"Mommy, let's go!" the embroiderer said to the old woman with a confused expression, and then looked at the other embroiders still surrounding her, "If you want to come and see the excitement, you can."
Seeing her like this, she was really confident. The remaining embroiderers also retreated one by one. The last one was the mother-in-law's daughter. After looking at her own mother for a few times, she also retreated quietly.
"The chief steward is very busy. You can see him wherever he wants." The mother-in-law saw that the situation was not right and said hurriedly.
"How will you know if you don't try? Maybe the chief manager will be empty now, so wouldn't you dare to go?" Xiu Niang said provocatively.
Speaking of this, I don't want to appear guilty.
The mother-in-law said loudly: "Go, go now, we will let the chief manager make an evaluation now."
The embroiderer picked up the embroidery and went out, and the mother-in-law had to follow her.
Watching them leave, the embroidery room immediately started talking.
"Who is she? Is she from the big steward's family?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, I've never heard of it, but her embroidery is pretty good...it looks better than all of us." Someone else answered cautiously.
After saying that, he saw the angry eyes of the sisters around him and quickly shut up.
There are quite a few embroiderers in the sewing room now, and they are all preparing for the marriage. Although the marriage is still early, preparations for royal marriages are not made early.
If you want to marry a royal princess, the Prince Consort's house must be well prepared, especially this kind of embroidery.
There were not that many embroiderers in the mansion at first, but later my wife gathered everyone in the mansion who could embroider, including some small embroidery pieces, so the number of people suddenly increased a lot.
But this embroiderer was different from the others. She was not from their house, she came suddenly, and after she arrived, the person in charge said that she wanted her to be the best in embroidery.
"Let's watch it first!" An older embroiderer reassured them about the embroidery. Other matters had nothing to do with them. Since this kind of matter has been brought to the head office, they were not in a position to ask questions.
Only the mother-in-law's daughter was uneasy and looked out the door from time to time...
The news came very quickly. The people around the big steward brought the embroidered lady and the old lady back. The old lady was scolded and asked to wake up and wake up. If it happened again, it would not just be a matter of scolding, but also an external one.
The embroiderer didn't have anything to do. The person who brought her even asked her to embroider a set of table screens first. Other embroiderers in the house would do the small and unimportant things.
Looking at the deflated mother-in-law, and then at the slightly proud embroiderer, the embroiderer in the mansion was angry and annoyed, but had no choice but to give up the best position in the big room outside.
The position of the window allows the embroiderer to have the best light and see more clearly.
As for the damaged embroidery, let the people in the sewing room see it more clearly next time, check it on the spot and find it on the spot. If it is discovered later, it is not the embroiderer's fault, and it will not be the embroiderer's fault if you compensate.
The meaning of beating in these words was obvious. The woman who made the incident was flushed, angry and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.
In the end, there were secret rumors in the house that this embroidered lady might really be someone from the big steward. The big steward was covering her up. With the big steward behind her, who would dare to cause trouble? Who didn't know that the big steward was Hou?
As a confidant of the Lord and the Crown Prince, if this offends the chief steward, it’s hard to say what will happen to him in the end.
Xuanpinghou Mansion, Mingyue goes out from the backyard door.
There was a carriage parked outside the backyard door. When he saw Mingyue coming out of it, the carriage driver hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, with a smile on his face: "Miss Mingyue."
"Can we go?" Mingyue asked with a smile. She was ordered by her girl to check out the unknown villagers outside the city.
