Chapter 301 Take it for yourself
Their embroidery products are divided into high-end, mid-range and low-end products, but there is another kind that ordinary people have no chance to see. That is the embroidery that is specially presented as tribute to the emperor and empresses in the palace.
Su Lanyin had been to the palace and had seen an embroidery painting in the imperial study with her own eyes. The water droplets on the painting were lifelike, and even the stitches were exactly the same as the one on the wall before her.
Looking at the entire Sheng Dynasty, it is very rare to be able to embroider water droplets like this.
At that time, she wanted to buy one as a gift for her mother, but she went to all the embroidery workshops in Shengjing and couldn't find any comparable one.
Finally, she found Qianjinfang, which was owned by the Wu family, and bribed the shopkeeper with silver. He then revealed that these embroidery works were specially tributed to the imperial palace and ordinary people could not buy them.
Moreover, it is rare and very precious, and cannot even be described by money.
At that time, Su Lanyin was very curious and asked the shopkeeper who the embroiderer was. The shopkeeper said he didn't know either.
Considering what Cuiyun said just now, Yu Hui’s embroidery was probably controlled by Jiang Xuan.
Therefore, even if she had such great talent, there was no possibility for her to succeed.
I guess the third aunt must be very depressed, right?
Su Lanyin said calmly: "It seems that Third Aunt doesn't know where all the things she embroidered have gone?"
Yu Hui's eyes flashed with disbelief: "Have you really seen it?"
"of course."
"But you just said your last name is Su!"
"My family is related to the Wu family, and we also do some embroidery business."
Yu Hui narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully, "So what? I do all this as a hobby, not for the sake of making money. I'm different from you profiteers who are full of money."
"That's right, we are profiteers with money all over our bodies." Su Lanyin accepted this statement with a smile, and then her eyes turned cold. "But Third Aunt, don't you want to know why your original needlework method was spread out?"
Yu Hui's body stiffened, and she clenched her fists as if she had thought of something.
That’s right, apart from Jiang Xuan, who else has the ability to sell her embroidery to the Wu family?
Her father died when she was young, and her mother raised her by embroidery. When she was 15 years old, her mother became blind.
She wanted to treat her mother's eye disease, but she couldn't earn enough money just by embroidery.
With nowhere else to go, she knelt in front of the Kang family's medicine shop and prayed for some medicinal herbs to save her mother's eyes.
Mr. Kang fell in love with her at first sight, so he proposed that she become his concubine.
Although this approach took advantage of someone's misfortune, it also gave Yu Hui hope.
She became Mr. Kang's third concubine and used the money to cure her mother's eyes.
Later, my mother passed away.
From then on, she was free from worries and no longer tried to please the old man for money.
She locked herself in the yard every day to embroider, concentrating on studying how to use needle and thread to create works that go beyond pen and ink.
That year, she accidentally saw Kang Chenxi being pushed into the water. She was so scared that she immediately ran back to the yard.
She fell seriously ill, had a fever for three days and three nights, and fell into a coma.
When I woke up again, the splashes of water made by Kang Chenxi were engraved in my mind and could not be erased.
She embroidered water droplets on silk cloth. Unexpectedly, she made the embroidery look so lifelike that even the old man praised her for her talent and even wanted to open an embroidery shop for her.
Jiang Xuan stepped forward to stop her, saying that she was a complete loser who only knew how to embroider behind closed doors and was completely useless and didn't know how to do business at all.
The old man doted on her, so he believed these words and did not open an embroidery shop for her.
Later, Jiang Xuan always took embroidery from her and always gave her some benefits as a favor.
In the eyes of outsiders, they seemed to be very close, but in fact, she hated Jiang Xuan from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
When she heard Su Lanyin say this today, anger ignited in her heart.
Back then, the reason why Jiang Xuan, who was only fifteen years old, was married to Mr. Kang as his second wife was because the Jiang family fell into decline.
Later, the Jiang family barely made ends meet relying on the betrothal gift from Jiang Xuan.
But ever since her embroidery was taken away by Jiang Xuan, the Jiang family's life has been getting better and better.
Originally she didn't know what was going on, but now that she thought about it, Jiang Xuan must have taken her hard-earned embroidery and sold it, and she sold it to the Wu family!
Why! Why did she do this?
In this world, everyone thinks that the Wu family's embroidery is the best, but they don't know that those lifelike embroidery pictures are all from her hands!
These are the skills her mother taught her. She embroidered each one carefully, just like her own child!
How could Jiang Xuan take her child for herself and exchange it for wealth? What's the difference between this and robbery and theft!
Thinking of this, she became so angry that she overturned the sewing basket on the table.
"hateful!"
She suddenly got angry, which scared Cuiyun. She asked anxiously, "Third Aunt, what's wrong with you? We...we have no ill intentions, we just came to see you..."
She thought Yu Hui was targeting them, but Su Lanyin knew that her words had worked.
Yu Hui turned around and glared at her, and asked coldly: "You didn't come here just to tell me this?"
Su Lanyin winked at Cuiyun, and the little maid was smart. She immediately turned around and left, and considerately closed the door and stood guard outside.
Su Lanyin said, "I just want to know why Jiang Xuan hates Muzi so much. You are an elder in the Kang family and have been here longer than Jiang Xuan. I don't believe you don't know anything."
Yu Hui curled her lips and sneered: "Haha~ I do know, and Jiang Xuan doesn't hate Mu Zi, she is afraid!"
"Afraid?" Su Lanyin frowned.
"That's right! Jiang Xuan is afraid of Muzi!"
"why?"
"Because she did something wrong, and Muzi happened to see it!"
These words made Su Lanyin very confused.
"Speak more clearly."
"Okay, but I have a condition!"
"What conditions?"
"I want to be famous all over the world, and I want everyone to know that these embroidery works are made by me, not the Jiang family!" Yu Hui stood up, her eyes red and her whole body trembling.
At this moment, her hatred for Jiang Xuan reached its peak!
Su Lanyin immediately agreed: "No problem!"
After hearing her answer, Yu Hui sat down again. She took a deep breath and then said, "In fact, this secret has been buried in my heart for sixteen years. I thought I would never tell anyone. Haha... Jiang Xuan, this is all your own fault!"
When she said this, she smiled somewhat ferociously, with a cold look in her eyes.
"Not long after Jiang Xuan got married, she became pregnant. The doctor said it was a boy, so she couldn't sit still. That day, I wanted to go to the back garden to take pictures, but I ran into a shocking scene."
"Jiang Xuan personally pushed six-year-old Kang Chenxi into the icy lake, and then she ran away. Even Kang Chenxi didn't know it was her who did it!"
"She thought Kang Chenxi was dead, and she thought she had done it without anyone noticing. However, she didn't expect that Muzi passed by and rescued her to the shore. She didn't know that I saw everything."
