The Female Supporting Role Shows Out

Chapter 116: Embroiderer (38)

In the end, Li Xiudian was reluctant to leave Meng Si, but sent her to Meng Zhong's temporary rental yard in the capital and assured her father that he would never communicate with each other again from now on. He knocked on the door with his trembling hands. Hearing the sound of footsteps inside, he immediately climbed into the carriage and left quickly. He did not dare to meet Meng Zhong in the face.

Meng Si looked at the distant carriage, and tears gurgled down. She wanted to cry loudly, but her throat had been hoarse as early as when she was tortured in the palace, for fear that she would vomit and bleed with one mouth.

"Sisi, why did you get like this? Who gave you this poisonous hand?" Seeing his sister's tragic situation clearly, Meng Zhong's canthus was about to crack.

"Brother" Meng Si reluctantly spit out a word and collapsed.

"Go find a doctor quickly!" Meng Zhong hurried home with his sister in her arms.

The doctor was almost carried into the yard by the servants of the Meng family. After careful diagnosis, he said, "Miss Meng's ten fingers are broken, and it is difficult to restore her previous flexibility even if it is connected. There is nothing wrong with the throat. It's good to drink a pair of medicine to moisten the throat.

Meng Zhong quickly ordered someone to concoct a medicine and feed his sister himself.

Meng Si felt a little better and immediately asked, "Doll, can I still embroider?"

Meng Zhong's face suddenly changed, and it seemed that he didn't expect this stubble at all.

"Embroidered flowers? That definitely doesn't work. It's too delicate and too heavy. Girls had better not touch it to avoid causing secondary damage. The doctor told him carefully while packing up the medicine box.

"Can't bones grow well?" Meng Si asked stubbornly.

"You not only hurt the bone, but also the meridians. If the bones are well nourished, but the meridians are not well raised, flexibility will naturally be greatly reduced. I think the girl's family is rich, and she is taken care of by maids and servants every day. There should be no need to work to make money, but it doesn't matter."

The doctor has been away for a long time, and Meng Sicai broke free from deep despair. She looked at her unconscious hands and muttered, "Brother, I'm wrong. I'm really wrong! If I can admit my failure several times with Lin Dan, I won't always be annoyed; if I don't have annoyance, I won't accept Li Xiudian's proposal and come to the capital to make embroidery dresses with him; if I don't make an embroidered dresses, I won't lose to Lin Dan again, which will anger the Empress Dowager Xi and be ruined by her. Hands. Brother, if I had generously admitted that Lin Dan was better than me at the selection meeting, and then rested at home to study embroidery skills. Even if I couldn't beat her all my life, I would eventually achieve something. I just can't compare with her alone, but I also have my own strengths. It was because I was blindfolded by demons, so I made mistakes step by step. Brother, no wonder anyone, I can only blame myself when I end up today.

She lowered her head and choked, "When you discussed with Li Xiudian to abolish Lin Dan's hands, I actually hid outside the door to eavesdrop, but instead of stopping me, I also quietly left. At that time, I thought: What a good thing for me if Ruolin has lost his hands! I don't have to worry about being surpassed by her anymore, and I don't have to worry about being looked down upon by others. But look, who on earth was the one who finally lost his hands? Lin Dan never used sinister and vicious methods to deal with me, but I had such a dark idea. It is said that people are watching. Brother, I have received retribution! God is punishing me!"

Speaking of which, Meng Si can't even cry.

Only then did Meng Zhong know that his sister's hands were actually interrupted by the Empress Dowager Xi. So who else can he turn to for revenge? He made fame for his sister by any means and even pushed her to the height of the imperial embroidered woman, but in the end, he harmed her all his life. How cruel it is for her not to embroider without hands.

It was not until then that Meng Zhong shed tears of regret. He has long been revenged by his parents. How Lin Dan wants to revive his family business has nothing to do. If he let her go and himself, nothing will happen now. But like a ghost fascinated, he devoted all his body and mind to suppressing Lin Dan's career.

Embroidered dresses for the Empress Dowager and the emperor. This job is indeed very glorious, but not everyone can do it. Without top strength and extraordinary embroidery skills, you will die when you go. But he knew that his sister could not afford it, but he sent her there. Why was he so bold? What on earth did he think at that time?

Meng Zhong pulled his hair hard, and he couldn't say anything.

Half a month later, the Lin family moved to the capital, and a brand-new light smoke embroidery villa also opened on the busiest street in Kyoto. I heard that the behind-the-scenes boss of this embroidery house was Lin Xiuniang, who made a phoenix robe for Empress Dowager Du. The dignitaries in Beijing flocked to order.

They had the honor to participate in the Little Emperor's ascending Ceremony. Even if it was several days, they still remembered the phoenix robe on Empress Dowager Du. After the ceremony, there were even rumors that the phoenix robe was originally melted by the feathers of the phoenix, and it was an immortal family's magic clothes, which was extraordinary. And Empress Dowager Du was reincarnated in the mortal world. Otherwise, how could the scar on her forehead turn into a red spider lily?

Phoenix bathes in fire, nirvana, and rebirth. Is it also a coincidence that the experience of Empress Dowager Du completely coincides with the fate of the divine bird?

The more rumors spread, the more mysterious it is. Even those who do not believe in ghosts and gods inevitably have a little awe of Empress Dowager Du, not to mention those who believe in fatalism? Empress Dowager Du's prestige is rising day by day, while Empress Dowager West is slowly forgotten under pressure.

Another half month later, Du Rusong was also transferred to the capital and promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of infantry. It can be said that Qingyun went straight up and climbed to the sky one step. A leisurely at-home An Dinghou learned that his brother and sister were going to enter Beijing, so he sent people to wait at the gate every day for fear of missing out on them.

No one expected Empress Dowager Du to be spoiled again, let alone that she could listen to politics and hold real power. Therefore, the calminghou, who indirectly forced the death of Empress Dowager Du's direct sister, became the object of everyone's suppression. Empress Dowager Du's mother's family publicly broke off her relationship as early as when she was deposed. At this time, it was impossible to make up for the scars and make up as before.

On the contrary, Du Rusong and Du Ruyan have always been with their aunts. They have never deliberately flattered her glory, nor have they turned away because of her depression and frustration. They even took the initiative to abandon their noble identity and work with their aunts to endure hardships in Lin'an Mansion.

How can Empress Dowager Du not repay this deep friendship? Before Du Ruyan entered Beijing, he had been named Princess Ruiyang. Du Rusong also rose high in succession and soared to the sky. Those who once bullied them and trampled on them now take a detour when they see them.

However, these things are too far away from ordinary people. Lin Dan listened to them and didn't pay much attention to them. She hasn't seen the Du brothers and sisters for half a month. From now on, they should gradually drift away from her and finally strangers.

"It's light. Someone bought the mansion next door. I heard it cost 800 taels of silver." On that day, Zhang Huixing hurried into the embroidery house and said, "The capital is indeed a good place for the rich and powerful. Such a big house can be bought as soon as he said, and he was ready to expand it! Alas, I don't know how Mr. Du and Yaner are doing. I think Mr. Du wanted to marry you at the beginning. Fortunately, I didn't agree, otherwise, I would have been repented now. He is a cloud in the sky, and we are the soil on the earth, which doesn't match at all.

"Who says it doesn't match? I think it matches!" Du Ruyan came in with a brocade box in his arms, with a bright smile on his face: "Din Dan and my brother are a perfect match. Aunt Hui, don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh, His Royal Highness, folk women, how can folk women salute?" Zhang Hui stood in circles where he was and didn't know how to deal with it at all. The noblest person she has ever received is the Admiral's wife. Where has she ever seen Her Royal Highness the Princess?

"Aunt Hui, don't salute you. You have ruined me!" Du Ruyan panicked more than her and quickly put down the brocade box to help her.

"Aunt Hui, if you agree to my marriage request, you are my mother-in-law. How can there be a reason for your mother-in-law to salute her son-in-law?" Du Rusong stood at the door with a nervous expression. He glanced at Lin Dan and then blushed and lowered his head.

Zhang Hui was stunned and stunned and said, "That won't work. My family wants to recruit a door-to-door man."

Du Rusong immediately looked up: "I can be a door-to-door man."

"You? You are a nobleman now. How can you be a son-in-law for my family? No, no, absolutely no!"

"Oced! My brother and I have no home for a long time. My brother enters the Rulin family, and I will recruit another door-to-door man. Isn't it perfect for both sides? It's light. My brother bought the next door. Can we live with you in the future? Half a month away from you, my brother and I can't eat well and sleep well. We are having a terrible time! You are our backbone. You must not abandon us!" Du Ruyan hugged Lin Dan and kept shaking, and his tone was very delicate.

Lin Dan put down the embroidery needle with a helpless expression.

Du Rusong sat down in front of her and said seriously, "Din'er, I know you best. When I enter your house, I will never control you. You can do whatever you want. I'm completely free. In addition, I can also earn money to support my family, open up contacts and solve troubles. As long as I am here, you can walk horizontally in Beijing. If you don't recruit me as a husband-in-law, but someone else, can you imagine what kind of life you will live in the future? Can you be patient if you have to run in with him again and adapt to the existence of a stranger again?"

He knew that Lin Dan had no love for himself. But it doesn't matter. As long as she stays with him all the time, it's the best arrangement. Even without love, she is still warm, making him want to get close or even have it.

Lin Dan looked at him with his head, scratched his scalp with an embroidered needle, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's get married." If you have to get married, Du Rusong seems to be the only and best choice.

"Thank you, Dan Er, thank you." Du Rusong breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to hold his sweetheart in his arms, but was pulled away by his mother-in-law in time. He giggled for a while before urging his sister to go back to prepare for the dowry.

Du Ruyan hugged Lin Dan like a little monkey, laughing and jumping, looking happier than the groom himself. Zhang Hui and her two aunts were infected by her, so they covered their mouths and smiled low. Unexpectedly, her family not only supported Lin's embroidery villa but also married an aristocratic prince to enter the door, which was too long-faced to the ancestors of the Lin family!

After Meng Si's hands were abolished, Meng Zhong stayed in the capital to treat her wounds and never returned to Lin'an Mansion. Meng's Embroidery Village has no master, and the news that Meng Si offended the Empress Dowager West and was interrupted by his hands gradually spread, making Xiuzhuang's reputation plummet.

Meng Zhong went to Li Xiudian many times and pinned his hopes on the help of the Li family. Li Xiudian agreed, but turned around and married a noble daughter from a high family. He almost pissed Meng Zhong to death. He didn't dare to tell his sister the news, and he was afraid that she would know sooner or later in Beijing, so he could only take her home.

Meng Si may have a feeling in his mind, and he will never ask Li Xiudian about it since then. She has never married her life. After Meng's Embroidery Village closed down due to poor management, she made a living by teaching embroidery skills and receiving bundles. Lin Dan's light smoke embroidery house is getting bigger and bigger, with branches all over the country. Under her impetus, Weaver Girl and Embroidery Girl have become a very popular professions, which really feeds a large number of women.

A few years later, Empress Dowager Li Min and one of the four auxiliary ministers were arrested for adultery and sent to the temple for Qingxiu. On the day the emperor came to adulthood, some people claimed that the emperor was not the true bloodline, but the wild species born by Li Min's adultery with the auxiliary minister, which should be abolished immediately, and a thick pile of letters were also produced as evidence.

Under the mountain, the ambitious little emperor was quickly abolished. Subsequently, the first female emperor in the history of the State of Zhou ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to "Jin" to pardon the world. The once prominent Li family collapsed. The Li family was either beheaded or exiled. Li Xiudian was very close to the emperor and participated in the conspiracy to overthrow the Empress Dowager Du and was sentenced to Ling Chi's execution.

When the news spread back to Lin'an Mansion, Meng Si stared at the sky and muttered, "No, it shouldn't be like this. How could Li Xiudian die?" I dreamed that he was a great minister, I dreamed that I would give up my life. I dreamed that we were married and loving for a lifetime. What shouldn't have been like this"
