Quick Wear: The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Loses Her Memory

Chapter 774 I Won’t Save You This Time (7)

Three days later, Mrs. Zhou, who had followed her husband from the north to take up his post in the south, was sitting in the flower hall of the mansion, holding a cup of tea in her hand with a leisurely look in her eyes.

Suddenly, the maid beside her came over lightly, holding an embroidered screen in her hand, and handed it to her respectfully.

Madam Zhou looked up, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "I didn't expect Yu Cheng to have such a skillful hand!"

"Madam Zhou, what did I say? Madam Yan's craftsmanship is very good!" Madam Liu, the wife of the chief official of Yucheng Prefecture, sat beside her with a proud look on her face. "She came from the north. If she hadn't found her relatives, we might not have seen such craftsmanship!"

"Surname Yan?" Madam Zhou was slightly startled, frowning slightly, as if she remembered something, "Why do people with this surname seem to have such good craftsmanship!"

"What? Do you know other craftsmen like this, and also with the surname Yan?" Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes, and she leaned forward slightly, obviously quite interested in Mrs. Zhou's words.

Mrs. Zhou came from a lower-class family in the capital. Although she was not prominent, she had met the "eminent concubine" Xiao Guifei many times by chance.

This is what she is most proud of and what she is proud to talk about.

She gently put down the teacup in her hand, cleared her throat, and said with a bit of reserve: "The Imperial Concubine once had a personal maid who had this skill.

No matter how badly the embroidery is damaged, she can repair it to its original state, as if it had never been damaged. Her surname is Yan!"

"Madam Zhou has even met the Imperial Concubine!" Madam Liu's eyes flashed with envy, and she quickly ordered the maid beside her to get the velvet flower hairpin she had bought earlier, "A kind of hairpin is very popular in Yucheng these days.

I heard that these are the things that the empress loves. Madam Zhou is knowledgeable and experienced, why don’t you help me take a look and see if these hairpins are pleasing to the eye?”

A moment later, a maid from the Liu mansion came over with a tray filled with all kinds of velvet flower hairpins with bright colors and exquisite workmanship.

Madam Zhou glanced at it casually, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but her tone was a little distant: "It is indeed made to look like something, but it's a pity that it's all ordinary.

The imperial concubine likes golden red, so she often adds soft gold threads to these velvets, which sparkle in the sun, and that is what we call true luxury. "

The implication is that although these velvet flower hairpins look nice, they are just ordinary things after all and are not pleasing to her eyes.

Madam Liu's husband's official rank was originally lower than Madam Zhou's. Her original intention of taking out these hairpins was to please the other party. Now that she was said this, she felt a little embarrassed. She could only smile awkwardly, secretly regretting that she had done something unnecessary.

Mrs. Zhou saw Mrs. Liu's embarrassed expression, but she felt quite proud in her heart.

In order to further demonstrate her status among the women in the capital, she continued, "Speaking of which, it is also because of the jealousy of beauty by heaven, otherwise the Imperial Concubine would not have..."

Having said this, her voice suddenly became low, and a hint of "dimness" flashed across her eyes, as if she was lost in some memories.

She even gently tucked her eyes with a handkerchief: "Alas, things are unpredictable, who can predict it?"

Seeing this, Madam Liu quickly agreed, "Yes, it's a pity for a person like the Imperial Concubine to die."

Mrs. Zhou nodded slightly, her eyes looking far away, as if she had returned to the prosperous capital city and met the peerless and charming Concubine Xiao.

She was secretly proud of herself, thinking that her words would surely make Madam Liu respect her even more.

Madam Zhou saw that Madam Liu showed a bit of awe in her expression, and she was very satisfied: "Speaking of which, the Imperial Concubine is not only extremely beautiful, but also has a very cheerful and generous temperament.

She treated her servants very well, especially the senior maid named Yan, who was deeply trusted by her. The queen often said that she was skillful and meticulous, and the patterns she embroidered were even better than those of other embroiderers in the palace.

Madam Liu listened attentively and could not help asking, "What happened to this Palace Maid Yan later?"

Madam Zhou sighed softly, with a hint of regret in her tone: “I don’t know this, but I heard that after the Imperial Concubine passed away, many of her maids were dismissed from the palace.

By the way, when did that Miss Yan settle down in Yucheng? Since she came from the north, she must be an old friend!"

Madam Liu winked at the maid beside her, asking her to come forward and answer.

"Reporting to the two ladies, this Lady Yan has already arrived in Yucheng in the spring!" The maid replied while bowing, "It seems to be a proper manner, but her temperament does not seem like that of a palace maid."

"Palace lady" is a very good word. What this maid means is: Madam Yan looks like a lady from a noble family, not a maid!

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou just nodded and did not continue the topic.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Yan, who is in power in the palace now, is also a blessed person." While Madam Liu said this, she had been observing Madam Zhou's expression.

Madam Zhou's expression was restrained, and her tone was a little cautious: "How can we make irresponsible comments on the affairs of the palace? However, I am lucky to have gained some charm from the imperial concubine. She also likes this kind of velvet flower hairpin.

Moreover, her father and brother are also very proud of this lady, because this lady is very popular in the imperial court and the imperial harem! The hairpin that made her popular was so popular! "

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu's eyes flashed with envy: "That's really a blessing."

Mrs. Zhou looked at the other person's expression and nodded with satisfaction, secretly thinking about how to use this opportunity to further consolidate her position among the women in Yucheng.

"By the way, since Miss Yan's craftsmanship is so outstanding, I wonder if she can take on large embroidery pieces on her own?" Mrs. Zhou suddenly remembered that she had obtained a very good landscape painting in the capital before.

You can ask someone to copy it and then make it into an embroidery pattern, which will definitely be a masterpiece. Then you can hold an appreciation meeting and your position may be consolidated.

"That's not very clear!" Madam Liu thought for a moment and said, "I have some friendship with this Madam Yan. Why don't I send her a message and find a time to invite her to come over for a chat?"

"Okay! Thank you very much for your plan, Mrs. Liu!" Mrs. Zhou was more and more satisfied with Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu was thinking to herself, thinking of taking this opportunity to get closer to the other party so that she could get more help in her husband's career in the future.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere in the flower hall was exceptionally harmonious.

Outside the window, a breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers.

Madam Zhou put down her teacup, stroked her sleeves gently, and said lazily, "I had a very pleasant chat with Madam Liu today. If you are free someday, you may come to my house and sit with me again."

Madam Liu quickly responded, "Of course, I will come to visit you some other day."

The two smiled at each other, but they actually had their own plans in mind, but they never pointed it out.
