A lucky wife born again from a farm family

But the words have been spoken, and now she can only pray that Gu Jinxiu's embroidery is really done by someone else, so that she can win a round.

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

Aunt 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 the embroidery is finished or not." 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."

Mrs. Jiang said, snapping and breaking the mosquito-repellent incense into two halves: "How about we light half a stick of mosquito-repellent incense, and when the mosquito-repellent incense goes out, the girls will 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."

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "That's not easy. Let's take a look 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 coil in Jiang's hand, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The girls began to embroider.

It's no wonder that some girls hate Zou Yuwan. There are actually many pretty girls who don't even know how to color and separate threads, let alone embroidery.

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 felt extremely angry and 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 pricking 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, it's time for her haircut, right? Can she be married?"

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

He also mentioned that Gu Jinxiu had to observe mourning for three years for his clan members who died on the way to escape from famine.

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

Even if a family in Da Chu observes filial piety for their parents, those who are particular about it only observe filial piety for twenty-seven months. For example, families in the countryside usually just observe filial piety hotly and forget about it, but Gu Jinxiu actually observed filial piety for three years for his clan members.

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 let out lamentations. Gu Jinxiu had finished the embroidery half a quarter of an hour ago. At this moment, she had put down her embroidery needles, stood up 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 Xu's embroidery is quite good. She embroidered a half-opened lotus and carps playing beside the lotus.

Miss Yang's 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 so smart." She looked at the embroidered picture as if she was watching Yuan Yuan eat something.

Mrs. Xu, the shopkeeper of Huaiyu Embroidery Shop, 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 year's clever lady is none other than Miss Gu." Mrs. Xu made the final decision, and Gu Jinxiu became this year's clever lady at the begging banquet.

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

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 somewhat smart, but now it seems that she is stupid. Today they really shot themselves in the foot.

What you ladies and ladies don't 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 Gu family girl?

Because of Zou Yuwan's stupidity, 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 much relieved 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?"

Grandma 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, only a moment later, the nanny next to Mrs. Xu came and whispered to Mrs. Xu for a while.

Mrs. Xu received orders from County Magistrate Xu to make good friends 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 can’t 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.
