Hua Jin tapped her palms with a folding fan, looking like a young man from a troubled world, and sneered:
"What a fate, I can meet her here."
Originally, Hua Jin had no intention of talking to Hua Xian'er. She just treated her as a private visitor, dressed in men's clothes, and took the two children to her destination.
Passing by the embroidery workshop, I heard the Hua Xianer screaming and cursing inside.
"You embroidery shop just use this kind of stuff to deal with me? I'm Princess Li, and the things you bring out are just as good as those of a beggar. By asking me to wear such a wedding dress, aren't you looking down on Prince Li?"
The embroiderer standing opposite her looked submissive,
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Miss Hua, I'll revise it again, I'm sorry."
"How to modify it? How to modify it after it is embroidered like this? Redo it for me!"
Hua Xian'er threw the wedding dress in her hand on the ground and said angrily:
"The thread to embroider the phoenix must be gold thread. I have told you several times. Are you deaf or are you pretending not to hear?"
"But, miss, this phoenix is embroidered with gold thread..."
The embroiderer knelt on the ground and picked up the wedding dress she had worked so hard to make. Her heart was bleeding. Any embroiderer would feel bad if she saw her embroidery being trampled on and said to be worthless.
She lowered her head, and what she wanted to say was that it was absolutely impossible to embroider a phoenix with gold thread.
The first reason is that it exceeds the specifications. As embroiderers, the first thing they do when they get started is to learn the rules of embroidery patterns.
Not all designs can be embroidered. Ordinary embroiderers would go too far even to draw a phoenix, let alone use gold thread to embroider a phoenix onto a wedding dress.
Only the queen can use such patterns. Only the embroidery officials in the palace who specially embroider clothes for the queen are qualified to embroider the golden phoenix. Otherwise, whoever embroiders will die.
The second reason is that the embroidery uses gold thread, which is expensive, and the deposit given by Hua Xian'er is not enough to buy the gold thread.
"Nothing is impossible. I am Princess Li. You must do what I say."
Hua Xian'er has become extremely swollen recently. She feels that since her father has returned from school, there must be nothing wrong with this matter. What could possibly go wrong?
Men have their own ways of solving problems. If King Xiao Li refuses to marry her, my father will contact the civil servants and military generals in Beidicheng and will not make things easier for King Li.
Therefore, Hua Xianer went out early in the morning and went to the embroidery workshop to look at the wedding dress.
But the wedding dress she was looking forward to was ruined by the stupid embroiderer at her feet. Hua Xianer was so angry that she kicked the embroiderer.
"Miss, please forgive me, miss."
The boss of the embroidery shop stood up and stood in front of the poor embroidery lady. She smiled fawningly and said:
"Miss Hua, if we have something to say, please talk it over carefully. Don't hit anyone."
"What's wrong with me? Prince Xiao Li is the lord of the North. Those of you doing business have to pay taxes to our Prince Li. Not to mention embroidering a wedding dress for me, even if you embroider clothes for a lifetime, that's just too much." I look up to you."
Hua Xian'er pushed the boss of the embroidery shop, pointed angrily at the embroidery girl kneeling on the ground, and said:
"If you can't embroider your own clothes, don't go out and make yourself look embarrassed. I don't think you have to make a living in Beidi City. Even a wedding dress has been embroidered so crookedly by you. Your hands are like chicken claws. What’s the use?”
The more she scolded, the more angry she became, and the face of the embroiderer who was scolded became paler and paler. The owner of the embroidery shop stood aside anxiously, wanting to persuade but not daring to do so, so he could only flatter Hua Xianer in every possible way.
I hope Hua Xian'er will calm down on her own.
Outside the embroidery workshop, more and more people were watching. The owner of the embroidery workshop said with an ugly face:
"Miss Hua, please stop scolding Miss Hua. After this incident, this embroiderer will no longer be able to rely on her craftsmanship to earn a living in Beidi City."
Who would want the embroidery embroidered by an embroiderer whose reputation has been ruined? Hua Xian'er only cared about scolding her freely, but she did not expect that she would insult this embroiderer in front of everyone and disrespect this embroiderer.
The embroidered wedding dress is cutting off the embroiderer's livelihood.
If no one wants the embroidered items, the skills of the embroiderer will be of no use.
Being an embroiderer all requires dexterity, which is basically the embroidery skills that have been honed since childhood. If a pair of skilled hands cannot do heavy work, cannot sell embroidery for money, and cannot do heavy work, then the embroiderer can only wait to starve to death.
.
The embroiderer kneeling on the ground hugged her wedding dress and kowtowed to the owner of the embroidery shop while crying.
"Boss, it's my fault today. Just because I am not good at embroidery alone does not mean that your embroidery workshop is not good. It is me who has brought trouble to your embroidery workshop."
After saying that, the embroidery girl on the ground stood up and bumped against the stone pier outside the embroidery workshop.
The onlookers were startled and even forgot to stop her. A large group of people watched helplessly as the embroiderer hit the stone pier.
At the moment when she was lamenting and regretting, the embroiderer's thick collar was pulled in time by a slender hand. The embroiderer, who was about to touch the stone and die, only got knocked on the stone pier.
She fell on her back and fell to the ground. She looked up with hazy eyes and saw a smoky blue figure standing in front of her under the distant sky.
It's a woman, no, to be precise, a woman wearing men's clothing.
A black cloth hat covered the stunning woman's black hair, and two hat straps fluttered behind the woman's head. She held a golden folding fan, tapping her palms leisurely, her eyes indifferent.
"Girl...why save me?"
The embroiderer covered her face and cried, still holding in her hands the wedding dress that had brought her a lifetime of humiliation.
But I heard Hua Jin say softly:
"You are an ant living an ignoble life. You are just insulted by someone and you are going to commit suicide. You are so stupid. I am sorry for the master who taught you embroidery skills, and I am even more sorry for the owner of the embroidery shop who allowed you to live in this troubled world."
The place where she was going to die was at the entrance of the embroidery workshop. If she really died today, how would the embroidery workshop do business in the future?
The world will not ask the reason, but will only remember the result. The result is that someone was killed at the gate of the embroidery workshop.
The embroiderer on the ground was shocked, stopped crying, her face flushed with shame,
"It's me. I didn't think that much and almost hurt the boss."
She fled to the North with her daughter. Fortunately, the owner of the embroidery workshop took her in, so she had a place to live. If she really died at the door of the embroidery workshop today, it would really be a disaster for people like the owner of the embroidery workshop.
Thinking of this, Xiu Niang raised her head again and looked at the woman in men's clothing with gratitude.
Thanks to this girl, she gave her a hand in time and prevented her from making a big mistake.
Before the embroiderer could kowtow to thank her, the owner of the embroidery workshop hurried out holding up her skirt and cried:
"Su Niang, why are you doing this? It's better to die than live."
In the embroidery workshop, Hua Xian'er was also startled by Su Niang's sudden suicide. She just didn't like the wedding dress embroidered by Su Niang, but she didn't want to force the embroiderer to death.
When she came back to her senses, she saw a lot of condemnation outside, saying that she was a coward and wanted to drive a good girl to death.
Hua Xian'er was angry again. She walked out of the embroidery workshop door with her emeralds jingling, and said angrily to Hua Jin, who had his back turned to her:
"She is looking for life and death. Where did the naughty person come from to meddle in other people's business and come here to act like a good person."
"How do you talk like this? It's right for you to force someone to death? This girl saves the person you want to force to death, and she is also accumulating blessings for you. How can you talk like this?"
In the field nearby, someone couldn't stand it anymore, pointed at Hua Xian'er and said:
"I heard that Little Prince Li wants to marry you as his concubine. That's really a sign that Prince Little Li is blind and has fallen in love with a vicious woman like you."
"You are so brave. You can also arrange the arrangements for Xiao Li Wang?"
Hua Xian'er pointed at Hua Jin's back,
"Did I ask her to save someone? She is obviously a woman, but she is dressed in men's clothes, neither fish nor fowl. She is not a good person at all. I think she may be singing along with this embroiderer and is planning to extort my money from Prince Li's house. Report it to the official immediately.
Bar."
"Your Prince Li's Mansion?"
Under the bright sky, Hua Jin turned back with a smile, looked at Hua Xian'er, and said leisurely:
"I don't know when you married Little Prince Li, and when Prince Li's mansion became yours again."
