Chapter 360 Something happened to the Zou family

But the words have been spoken, and now I can only pray that Gu Jinxius embroidery is really done by someone else, so that she can get back in the game.

Gu Jinli smiled secretly and compared embroidery with Gu Jinxiu. Should she say that Zou Yuwan was looking for death?

Mother Wen is a capable person. After hearing from Mrs. Jiang that she wanted the girls to compete in embroidery skills on the spot, she immediately brought the embroidery booth, embroidery cloth, and embroidery threads with her maids.

"Girls, we are limited to one stick of incense. You can embroider whatever you want. After one stick of incense, you must stop regardless of whether you have finished embroidering." Mrs. Jiang said.

"Speaking of incense, my family's little benefactor Yuan Yuan made a new kind of incense called mosquito coil. It is said to kill mosquitoes and eliminate insects. If you light one at night, it will kill all the mosquitoes in the house. The smoke will It's not big enough so it won't incense anyone." Mrs. Jiang took out the mosquito coil made by Gu Jinli and told everyone, "This mosquito coil is similar to the stick incense we use, but it's a little bigger."

As Jiang said, she broke the mosquito-repellent incense into two halves with a click: "How about we light half a stick of mosquito-repellent incense. When the mosquito-repellent incense goes out, how about the girls stop embroidering?"

Mrs. Xu looked at the mosquito-repellent incense and said, "They are all incense. Naturally, you can light any one. But can this mosquito-repellent incense really kill mosquitoes? My sister Shu is the most attracted to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes bite her every summer. When I wake up in the morning, I have a few mosquitoes on my face. If this mosquito-repellent incense can really kill mosquitoes without causing too much smoke, that would be great."

Ms. Jiang smiled and said: "That's not easy. Let's take a look at it now to see how this mosquito coil is. If it's good, Mrs. Xu will take a bundle back to Sister Shu for use."

"That's good." Mrs. Xu trusts the Jiang family. The Jiang family has helped her master a lot recently. The Jiang family is upright and their back house is clean, which makes people happy.

Lianhe took the mosquito-repellent incense from Jiang's hand, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The girls began to embroider.

Its no wonder that some girls hate Zou Yuwan. There are actually many pretty girls who dont even know how to color and divide threads, not to mention doing embroidery work.

A thread is already small and needs to be divided into several pieces. Some girls were too hasty to divide the thread. Either their fingers got tangled in the thread or they broke the thread directly. They were so anxious that their eye circles were red and they felt even more angry. Zou Yuwan raised her head and glared hard at her.

Zou Yuwan was also doing embroidery on separate threads. When those girls glared at her, she was so angry that she hated Mrs. Jiang, an old pious woman, for harming her.

Compared with those girls who were in a hurry, Gu Jinxiu could be said to be very smooth. She quickly picked out the embroidery tent, embroidery cloth, and embroidery thread. Then she divided the embroidery thread into ten pieces and threaded the divided thread into the embroidery needle. Start embroidering the picture.

Her hands were very soft, and her plucking and picking movements were very beautiful, and her appearance was good. Mrs. Jiang and the others sat aside and watched her embroidery, which was really pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Xu quietly asked Mrs. Jiang: "Sister Xiu should be old enough to have her hair straightened. Can she be married?"

Mrs. Jiang said: "I've already reached the age of haircut, but I haven't been married yet."

He also told the story of Gu Jinxius three-year mourning for the clan members who died on the way to escape from famine.

Mrs. Xu was surprised when she heard this: "This girl is a righteous person."

In Da Chu families, even if they observe filial piety for their parents, those who are particular about it only observe filial piety for twenty-seven months. For example, rural families usually just observe filial piety for a long time and forget about it. However, Gu Jinxiu actually observed filial piety for his clan members for three years.

Such an act of righteousness is extremely rare.

Time passed quickly. An hour later, after half the stick of mosquito coils was burned, Nanny Wen stood up and said with a smile: "Ladies, the time has come."

Many girls looked at their miserable embroidery and lamented. Gu Jinxiu had finished the embroidery half a quarter of an hour ago. At this moment, he had put down his embroidery needles and stood aside, waiting for Mrs. Jiang and others to check.

Mrs. Jiang and the others looked over. When they saw the girls' embroidery, they couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing. It was really a mess.

But Miss Xus embroidery is quite good. What she embroidered was a half-opened lotus and carps playing beside the lotus. Ms. Yangs bag is also good, but instead of doing embroidery, she made a small cloth bag. It looks plain, but has many interlayers and can hold many books.

What amazed Mrs. Jiang and the others the most was Gu Jinxiu's embroidery. She embroidered a small picture as big as a palm, which showed a person holding a piece of pastry, nibbling it back while peeking around, for fear of being discovered by others. The little fat girl is Shang Yuanyuan.

When Mrs. Jiang saw this embroidered picture, she liked it very much: "It's my Yuanyuan, the embroidery is really smart." She looked at the embroidered picture as if she was watching Yuan Yuan eat something.

Mrs. Xu, the shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery House, and Mrs. Zou all felt that Gu Jinxiu's picture was well embroidered, especially the ingenuity of using Yuan Yuan in the picture, which was rare.

With skillful hands and a clever mind, this years clever lady must be Miss Gu. Mrs. Xu made the final decision, and Gu Jinxiu became this years clever lady at the begging banquet.

Miss Xu held Gu Jinxiu's hand and said, "Sister Xiu's embroidery skills are exquisite, I admire you."

Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu both said this, and no one else would have any objections, but... everyone looked at Zou Yuwan with a bit of contempt and teasing.

In the past, they thought Zou Yuwan was a bit smart, but now it seems that she is stupid. Today they really shot themselves in the foot.

What you ladies and ladies dont understand is why Zou Yuwan wants to go against Gu Jinxiu? Doesn't she know that the Jiang Shang family regards the Gu family as their saviors? She dared to deliberately embarrass a guest specially invited by the Jiang family.

Besides, no matter how much the Jiang family looks up to the Gu family, the Gu family are just a few country people, and they don't live in the county. They have no conflict of interest with them. What's wrong with selling face to Mrs. Jiang? Why do they have to go? Looking for trouble with the girl from the Gu family?

Because Zou Yuwan was stupid, several people fell in love with her and planned to go to the Zou family to propose marriage. The ladies who wanted to marry her as their daughter-in-law gave up their thoughts.

Mrs. Zou felt very happy when she saw that Zou Yuwan was embarrassed and rejected by all the ladies.

However, before she could relax for a long time, the maid from the Zou family came over. After saying something to Nanny Hong beside her, Nanny Hong's face changed and she quickly whispered to Mrs. Zou: "Madam, something happened at home. It's an emergency, I want you to go back quickly."

Mrs. Zou was stunned: "Master, do you want me to go back?"

Mother Hong nodded. If the master could send someone to call her back at this time, something must have happened at home.

Mrs. Zou did not dare to delay and hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang did not stay long and asked Aunt Wen to send Mrs. Zou and her party out.

After Mrs. Zou left, within a few moments, the nanny next to Mrs. Xu came and whispered to Mrs. Xu for a while.

Mrs. Xu received orders from Magistrate Xu to be on good terms with the Jiang family, and since Magistrate Xu was soon promoted and left, she no longer had to worry about the local snake like Zou County Cheng, so she smiled at Madam Jiang and said, "It seems, We cant eat our red eggs.

Red eggs

Everyone who heard this knew in their hearts that the old man whom Zou County Cheng had cherished for several months was gone.
