Chapter 210 Embroidery Festival

Hearing Shen Xiu's words, Wen Xiu Niang secretly screamed, "Oh!" and couldn't help but look at Shi Xiu Niang.

Shi Xiu Niang's orchid was only half painted.

Shen Xiu finished painting the orchid so quickly, which had some influence on her.

Although Shi Xiu Niang warned herself that this was Shen Xiu's intention, just to make herself confused, she understood that she was a little impatient when she wrote.

When it comes to painting, the most important thing is concentration.

When Shi Xiu Niang reached the back of the painting, her mind was already confused, so the orchid leaves and orchids painted at the back lost a bit of charm.

The orchids painted by Shen Xiu have both form and spirit, and are full of vitality.

After everyone commented, most people voted for her.

In this way, after two games, Shi Xiu Niang lost completely.

If you win one game, lose another, or draw, you can still earn some face.

But now, Shi Xiuniang lost two games in a row. Her face was already very ugly, her lips trembled for a long time, but she didn't say a word.

Wen Xiu Niang knew that her cousin had always been competitive, and now that she had lost so miserably, she had to make up for her, so she said to Shen Xiu: "Our sisters have learned from these two competitions today. No wonder the Lin Embroidery Worker was even

We all lost at your hands, it seems that Mrs. Shen does have some skills."

She brought Lin Ye up because she wanted everyone to know that Shen Xiu's skills were indeed superb, so it would not be a shame for Shi Xiu Niang to lose to her.

But it was obvious that Shi Xiu Niang didn't appreciate Wen Xiu Niang's kindness, and instead glared at her, "What kind of skill is it? It's just a fluke. It's all because of the question you asked. You can't draw anything well, but you have to draw orchids."

This was her fault. Wen Xiu Niang was unhappy. She wanted to rescue Shi Xiu Niang, but unexpectedly she ended up being a human being.

Bai Xiu Niang watched silently. At first, she could not bear it when Shi Xiu Niang died so tragically. But now that she saw Wen Xiu Niang being robbed of her virginity, her unbearable heart disappeared immediately.

Shi Xiu Niang is such a troublemaker and does not know what is good or bad. Sometimes she should be taught a lesson.

The west building is so lively, which makes the east building even more deserted.

When the eldest wife of the Yu family came, the room had been quiet for a long time.

Probably due to the atmosphere, the servants waiting nearby did not dare to make any noise, and the entire east building was completely silent.

The eldest wife of the Yu family didn't sleep well last night, so she got up a little late today. In order to rush for time, she hurried over without even eating breakfast. Now that she heard that there was no sound in the east building, she thought she was the first one.

Arrived.

But when we entered the second floor, we saw Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng.

The eldest wife of the Yu family's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know who invited these two people over at the same time.

Others don't know it, but the eldest wife of the Yu family knows it. Mrs. Meng was engaged to Mr. Meng back then. Although she didn't know why she broke off the engagement, the two rarely met in order to avoid embarrassment.

Mr. Meng saw the eldest wife of the Yu family first, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. He finally didn't have to face Mrs. Meng alone.

When the eldest wife of the Yu family came up to say hello to the two of them, the atmosphere in the room became more lively.

After a while, several young wives and young girls, headed by Lu Caiwei and Miss Jiu, ran in laughing and joking.

They had arrived a long time ago, but they couldn't bear the loneliness and ran to the garden to play for a while.

When the eldest wife of the Yu family saw Lu Caiwei, she called her over and said a few words.

"Where is your mother-in-law?" The eldest wife of the Yu family asked, "I haven't seen her for a long time. What is she doing at home?"

Lu Caiwei smiled and said: "My mother-in-law didn't do much at home, she just was too lazy to go out during this period."

The eldest wife of the Yu family looked at Lu Caiwei and thought of her daughter again, and said, "It's a pity that Shuya is pregnant, otherwise she would definitely come to join in the fun on such a lively day as today."

"I went to see Miss Yu a few days ago." As soon as Shen Xiu came in, she heard what the eldest wife of the Yu family said, and then said with a smile, "Everything is fine with Shuya, the eldest lady doesn't need to worry about her."

"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her a little." After speaking, the eldest wife of the Yu family changed the subject, "You invited us here so eagerly, and now that we are here, when will the grand party be held?

start?"

Shen Xiudao: "Madam, don't worry, we'll start when everything is ready."

After she finished speaking with the eldest wife of the Yu family, she went over to greet Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng.

Mr. Meng didn't show anything, but Mrs. Meng gave her an annoyed look.

This glance made Shen Xiu very puzzled. She was wondering why Mrs. Meng was looking at her like this when she saw a servant coming over and whispering something in her ear.

"Ms. Shen, everything is according to your instructions. You can tell when they will appear."

Shen Xiudao: "It's almost time, let's do it now!"

Not long after, the sound of drums sounded from the stage opposite the East and West Buildings.

The sound of the drum made everyone in the east and west upstairs quiet down.

Accompanied by the sound of drums, the juggling troupe invited by Shen Xiu appeared on the scene.

The east and west floors were originally used for listening to operas. Now Shen Xiu has replaced the operas with acrobatics, which is much more lively than watching a opera.

After watching a lively sideshow, everyone became interested and looked forward to the upcoming embroidery event.

Amid everyone's expectations, two male servants carried an embroidered screen and placed it in the middle of the stage.

Mr. Meng is old and has poor eyesight. He can only see clearly that the embroidery on it is a picture of flowers and birds.

Shen Xiu said from the side: "Sir, don't worry, they will bring the embroidered screen here for you to take a closer look."

When she said this, she raised her voice and said: "After everyone has finished looking at the embroidery, I will ask someone to hand out four cards, namely A, B, C and D. A means high-quality, B means medium-high, and C corresponds to medium.

Ding is the lower class. Which class do you think the embroidery belongs to, just throw the card into the basket."

"This method is interesting." Miss Ninth said aside, "It's both interesting and fun."

Mrs. Meng said: "Don't just play around, pay attention to the subtleties of these embroideries."

Miss Ninth couldn't care less about what Old Mrs. Meng said at this moment, because the embroidery had already been brought over.

After people in the east building saw it, the embroidery was carried to the west building.

Here in the west building, many embroiderers came today.

Shen Xiu also specially invited three highly qualified embroiderers, all of whom were over forty and semi-retired.

At their age, their skills are basically proficient and they are no longer pursuing fame and fortune. They are suitable for this judgment.

Shen Xiu's purpose of inviting them here is very simple. He wants them to act as professionals to judge the quality of the embroiderers' work.

After the three qualified embroiderers looked at the embroidery, they put the cards in their hands into the basket one by one.

Bai Xiu Niang saw clearly from the sidelines that the three qualified embroidery ladies all voted for the B card. It seemed that the first embroidery work was not very popular with them.

Next, the embroidery works of the embroiderers appeared one after another.

However, the three qualified embroiderers rarely cast the A card, and the most often cast the B card and the C card.

Just when the three embroiderers were tired from watching, another embroidery screen was brought up on the stage.

The embroidery screen was embroidered with an ordinary pattern, a very festive red plum blossom and narcissus.

Having seen so many embroideries just now, everyone felt that this embroidery was not surprising.

Until the two male servants showed the reverse side.

"Double-sided embroidery?" When the three qualified embroiderers saw the reverse side, they stood up in unison.

Unfortunately, the stage was quite far away from the west building, so they could only vaguely see it. There was indeed a red plum blossom and narcissus on the back, but they were not so sure whether it was double-sided embroidery.

As for the other embroidery ladies, they were also talking about it. Obviously they didn't expect that any of them could embroider such double-sided embroidery.
