Poor Lady Chapter 28: National embroidery master

Everyone approached and admired this Buddha embroidery carefully, the more they looked at it, the more they were amazed. Really exquisite skills, short and fine needles, there is a state of simplifying the complicated.

The host took everyone to the other side, as if the Buddha's light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, he looked intently, only to find that there was a golden Buddha embroidered on the back of the Buddha embroidery. The above is truly "seamless".

The foreign envoys were amazed and said that they had never seen such miraculous embroidery.

Feng Zhan asked: "Who made this embroidery?"

The host replied: "Mr. Liu's mother, Mrs. Liu, gave it to our temple. The specific source must be better known by Mr. Liu than the old monk."

Feng Zhan then looked at Liu Muhan.

Liu Muhan said: "Last year, a Yunrong Xiuzhuang appeared in the capital, and this piece of Buddha embroidery was obtained from here. As for who embroidered it, you have to ask the owner of the Xiuzhuang."

He did not mention Qi Surong's name, after all, it is related to the woman's reputation, revealing her identity rashly may cause her troubles.

Feng Zhan nodded and explained to the foreign envoy: "This is the work of an embroidery master. It comes from a shop in the capital called Yunrongxiuzhuang. The embroidery was bought by Mrs. Taiwei and donated to the temple."

"Can we meet this embroidery master?" An envoy said enthusiastically, "Her skills are really amazing."

Feng Zhan said with a smile: "My lords don't know something. Most of the skilled masters in our country have weird tempers and don't want to meet people easily. I am willing to try, but I can't guarantee whether I can invite people out."

The envoys were not in any trouble, and decided to go to the Yunrong Xiuzhuang first.

Feng Zhan then called a carriage and drove a few people into the city.

At this moment, Qin Xiang was looking through the accounts in Xiuzhuang, when he heard a voice outside the door, looked up, and saw a few tall men with blond hair and blue eyes coming in.

Qin Shuang was taken aback, and hurriedly greeted the girl, as if facing a formidable enemy. If Jiu hadn't met many foreigners in the capital, she might have cried out in shock.

Fortunately, she soon noticed that there were several Wei people standing beside the foreigner, and one of them was Liu Muhan who had a deal with him before.

She breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to her with a smile, and said, "What do you guys want to buy? This store sells all kinds of embroidery, hairpin flowers, and jewelry, with novel styles and high quality."

Feng Zhan said: "I will accompany these foreign friends to visit here. They really want to see the embroidery sold in Guizhuang?"

"Follow me." Qin Shuang brought them to a counter, pointed to the handkerchiefs, silk fans, small screens and other objects listed above, and said, "Do you guys like it?"

An envoy picked up a small screen and looked at it for a while, then said: "This object is exquisite, but the embroidery on it is far inferior to that of the Buddha embroidery."

The rest of the people also nodded. They picked for a long time, but they didn't find the second double-sided embroidery. Of course, it doesn't mean that these embroideries are not good, at least several envoys have decided to buy some as souvenirs.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Buddha embroidery is completely different from the embroidery in front of me.

Feng Zhan asked: "This shopkeeper, why doesn't Guizhuang have double-sided embroidery?"

Qin Shuang said clearly: "It turns out that you want to see double-sided embroidery. I'm really sorry. Double-sided embroidery is extremely labor-intensive, so it needs to be specially ordered."

"I see." Feng Zhan explained a few words to the envoys.

One of the envoys pondered for a moment and said, "We saw the Buddha embroidery just now, so we wanted to take one back and dedicate it to Her Majesty Queen Aluoba."

"For Her Majesty the Queen?" Feng Zhan was surprised at first, then laughed, "If Her Majesty likes it, our country is willing to give this gift."

"Thank you very much." The envoy said happily, "I believe Her Majesty the Queen will like it."

"So, what kind of embroidery does your country want to order?" Feng Zhan asked.

The envoys were still unable to make up their minds after discussing for a while, and one of them said: "Let that matter be decided by the embroidery master. I believe that with her skills, she will be able to embroider satisfactory embroidery."

Feng Zhan, Liu Muhan and the others looked at each other, sometimes it is more difficult to deal with without requests than with requests.

After arranging the envoys, Feng Zhan immediately entered the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

The emperor asked: "Is that embroidery really so brilliant?"

"Yes." Feng Zhan replied, "Looking at the whole country, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find a second piece of embroidery that is comparable to it."

"Do you know the identity of that embroidery master?"

"I haven't checked yet, I want to listen to the emperor's suggestion first."

"Of course I agree, and this matter can be regarded as famous for our country." The emperor said leisurely, "I will leave this matter to you. No matter who the embroidery master is, as long as she can embroider envoys If we are satisfied with the embroidery, I will call her the 'National Embroidery Master'."

"The minister obeys the order."

A piece of embroidery, the emperor probably didn't like it. After all, most of the gifts presented to the queen were rare treasures. Impossible to appear on the list.

After Feng Zhan left the palace, he immediately went to Taiwei's mansion, found Liu Muhan, and asked about the identity of the embroiderer.

He didn't believe that this cautious friend would just find someone to customize embroidery.

Liu Muhan hesitated for a moment, and finally told: "The owner of Yunrong Xiuzhuang is the eldest lady of the Qi family, and the Buddha embroidery was also embroidered by her."

"Clang!" There was the sound of porcelain falling to the ground from the door.

"Who?" Liu Muhan opened the door abruptly, and saw that the person in front of him turned out to be his sister.

At this moment, her face was slightly pale, she glanced at Feng Zhan secretly, leaned over and said: "Qian'er is rude, I wanted to serve tea to elder brother and brother Liu, but slipped and broke the tea bowl."

Liu Muhan said helplessly: "You girl, why are you so careless? Let the girl tidy up and send another pot."

Liu Qian'er saluted again, turned and left.

It turned out to be Qi Surong? It turned out to be Qi Surong again? Why does she always linger like a ghost? Liu Qian'er gritted her teeth, her sleeves were almost crushed by her.

"Are you sure it's Miss Qi?" Feng Zhan and Liu Muhan returned to the study, in disbelief, "I've known her for several years, and I've never heard that she has such superb embroidery skills."

"I haven't known her for several years? Although I haven't had much contact with her, I have never heard of her having this skill." Liu Muhan paused, and then said, "It should be said that Miss Qi is completely different from the rumors. He is gentle and resolute, and he is not surprised by changes, which is very different."

Hearing this, Feng Zhan looked at the friends around him thoughtfully, and asked, "After the Qi family was sealed up, you met her."

"I once met her once in the temple." Liu Muhan said, "I also came into contact with her through Buddhist embroidery."

"I understand." Feng Zhan nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will visit Qi's family and explain my purpose. I think she will not refuse. If this happens, it will definitely benefit the Qi family."

"But how should the emperor respond?"

Feng Zhan smiled nonchalantly: "Your Majesty has said something beforehand. No matter who the embroidery master is, as long as she embroiders the envoys' satisfaction, she will be named the 'National Embroidery Master'."

Feng Zhan's eyes flashed with joy, he stood up and said, "I will take my leave today, thank you for telling me the truth, and I will treat you to tea next time."

"Hey, can I..." Before I finished speaking, the person disappeared like the wind, "...to go with you."

Liu Muhan shook his head helplessly, it seems that we have to wait for the next opportunity to talk about it.

The next day, Feng Zhan dressed brightly, as if going on a blind date, took two attendants, and took a carriage to Qi's house.

When he came to the door of Qi's house, Feng Zhan was rarely nervous. He almost wanted to conjure up a mirror to see if he was well-groomed and looked good.

The attendants knocked on the door, and the door opened after a few knocks. The old butler looked at the people and asked politely, "What are you doing, sir?"

"Feng Zhan, the eldest son of Xiafeng, is here to pay a visit to General Qi."

The old housekeeper was surprised and said: "It turned out to be the son of the Feng family, please wait a moment, the villain will report to my master immediately."

Not long after, the housekeeper welcomed him in, and Qi's father was waiting in the courtyard.

"General Qi, Feng Zhan, son of Feng's family, sends his greetings." Feng Zhan saluted him respectfully.

Qi's father nodded, looked at this handsome young man, and thought to himself that he and Su Rong were a good match, but unfortunately there was no fate.

"The old man is now a commoner, so he should not be so generous, Mr. Feng, please come in." Father Qi led the way and led him into the main room.

Feng Zhan looked at this slightly dilapidated house, feeling uncomfortable. The once high-spirited general condescends to this; the once noble and graceful eldest lady has fallen into a poor family.

"I don't know what is the important thing for Mr. Feng to come to the humble house this time?" Father Qi asked.

"It's like this." Feng Zhan told the envoys what happened when they visited the temple in detail, and finally said, "Miss Qi's embroidery skills are extraordinary, and even the foreign envoys are very impressed. If they are satisfied this time, It will surely become famous in one fell swoop.”

"Fame?" Qi's father said displeased, "No matter how famous a 'national embroidery master' is, she is just a craftsman who can't get on the stage. Once the name is established, she will never be able to get rid of the 'embroiderer' in her life The identity of a woman. I don’t want my daughter to be a ‘embroidered girl’ for the rest of my life.”

Feng Zhan was stunned, he never expected that Qi's father would object. This matter is a great thing to be famous, but in his mouth, it has become an act of belittling his status?

"General Qi, this matter has been ordered by the emperor. If you refuse, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Qi's father asked coldly, "Could it be possible that I still want to punish the old man for disrespecting the law?"

"Uh..." I really do.

"You don't need to say more, please go back and tell the emperor that the Qi family has no embroiderers, and they can't embroider the embroidery that the envoy wants." the point of view. This time Qi's mansion was sealed up, he had deep resentment in his heart, but he just kept suppressing it and did not explode. Now the emperor wants his daughter to embroider for foreigners? Don't even think about it!

Feng Zhan still has something to say, Qi's father has already issued the order to evict the guests: "Housekeeper, see the guests off."

He stood up and walked away.

Feng Zhan is so depressed! What's so exquisite, you can't eat it in front of someone like Qi's father, okay?

To see Ms. Qi today, he dressed up for a while, but Qi's father dismissed him after a few words. Isn't this a waste of expression...
