The rest of the people also nodded their heads. They searched for a long time, but did not find the second double-sided embroidery. Of course, it's not that these embroidery are bad, at least a few envoys have decided to buy a few as souvenirs.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Buddha embroidery is completely different from the embroidery in front of him.
Feng Zhan asked, "This shopkeeper, why doesn't Guizhuang have double-sided embroidery?"
Qin Shuang said clearly: "It turns out that the few of you want to see double-sided embroidery. I am really sorry. Double-sided embroidery is very labor-intensive, so it needs to be customized."
"So it is." Feng Zhan explained a few words to the envoys.
One of the envoys pondered for a moment and said, "We just saw that Buddha embroidery, and we wanted to take one back and dedicate it to Her Majesty Queen Aroba."
"Dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen?" Feng Zhan was surprised at first, then smiled, "If Her Majesty likes it, our country is naturally willing to give this gift."
"Thanks a lot then." The envoy said happily, "I believe Her Majesty the Queen will definitely like it."
"So, what kind of embroidery does your country want to customize?" Feng Zhan asked.
The envoys were still undecided after discussing for a long time, and one of them said: "The embroidery master will decide this matter. I believe that with her skills, satisfactory embroidery will be able to be embroidered."
Feng Zhan, Liu Muhan and the others looked at each other, no requirement is sometimes more difficult to deal with than a requirement.
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 across the whole country, I'm afraid it is difficult to find a second embroidery that is comparable to this."
"Do you know the identity of that embroiderer?"
"Weichen hasn't checked yet, I want to listen to the emperor's advice first."
"Of course I agree, and this matter can be regarded as a name for our country." The emperor said leisurely, "Let you handle this matter. No matter who the embroiderer is, as long as she can embroider to the satisfaction of the envoys Embroidery, I named her a 'national embroiderer'."
"The minister obeys the order."
A piece of embroidery, the emperor probably did not look down on. After all, the gifts presented to the queen were mostly rare and precious. That piece of embroidery was at most a bonus. If it was not specially proposed by the envoy, it would never have appeared in the list.
After Feng Zhan left the palace, he immediately went to the Taiwei Mansion, found Liu Muhan, and asked the identity of the embroiderer.
He didn't believe that this always cautious friend would randomly find someone to customize embroidery.
Liu Muhan hesitated for a moment, and finally told her: "The owner of Yunrong Xiuzhuang is Miss Qi's family, and she also embroidered the Buddha embroidery."
"Qiang!" There was the sound of shattering porcelain falling to the ground from the door.
"Who?" Liu Muhan abruptly opened the door and saw that the person in front of her turned out to be her own girl.
Her face paled at the moment, she glanced at Feng Zhan secretly, and bowed her body: "Qian'er is rude. I wanted to serve tea to my brother and Liu, but she slipped her hand and broke the tea bowl."
Liu Muhan said helplessly: "Why are you so careless? Let the maid clean up and bring another pot."
Liu Qian'er bowed again and turned to leave.
It turned out to be Qi Surong? It turned out to be Qi Surong again? Why does she always linger like a ghost? Liu Qianer gritted her teeth, and her sleeves were almost crushed by her.
"Are you sure it's Miss Qi?" Feng Zhan and Liu Muhan returned to the study, disbelieving, "I've known her for several years, and I've never heard of her being so accomplished in embroidery."
"Why haven't I known her for several years? Although I don't have much contact with her, I have never heard of her having this skill." Liu Muhan paused, then said, "It should be said that Miss Qi is completely different from the rumors, she is a gentle and firm person. , not surprised, very different."
Feng Zhan heard the words, looked at his friends thoughtfully, and asked, "After the Qi family was sealed up, you met with her."
"I had a relationship at the temple once." Liu Muhan said, "I also came into contact with her through Buddhist embroidery."
"I understand." Feng Zhan nodded. "Tomorrow I will visit Qi's house and explain the purpose of my visit. Presumably she will not refuse. If this happens, it will be absolutely beneficial to Qi's house."
"But how should the emperor reply?"
Feng Zhan smiled indifferently: "The emperor has a word in advance, no matter who the embroiderer is, as long as the embroidery works to the satisfaction of the envoys, she will be named a 'national embroiderer'."
Feng Zhan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he got up and said, "I'm leaving today. Thank you for telling the truth. I'll invite you to tea next time."
"Hey, can I tomorrow..." Before the words were finished, the person had disappeared like the wind, "... go with you."
Liu Muhan shook his head helplessly, and it seemed that he would have to wait for the next opportunity to talk about it.
The next day, Feng Zhan dressed brightly, as if he was going on a blind date, and took two attendants to Qi's house in a carriage.
Arriving at the door of Qi's house, Feng Zhan was rarely nervous, and almost wanted to make a mirror to see if he was neat and tidy now.
The attendant 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, lords?"
"Feng Zhan, the elder son of Xiafeng, has come to see General Qi."
The old housekeeper was surprised: "It turned out to be the master of the Feng family. Please wait a moment, the villain will immediately inform my master."
Not long after, the housekeeper welcomed people in, and Father Qi was waiting in the courtyard.
"General Qi, Feng Zhan, the elder son of Feng, greets you." Feng Zhan bowed respectfully to him.
Father Qi nodded and looked at the handsome young man, thinking that he and Su Rong were a good match, but unfortunately there was no fate.
"This old man is a commoner now, so he shouldn't be so gifted, Young Master Feng please come in." Father Qi led the way and led him into the main room.
Feng Zhan looked at this slightly dilapidated house and felt uneasy. The once high-spirited general has condescended to this; the once noble and graceful eldest lady has become a poor family.
"I don't know what is the important thing for Young Master Feng to come to the poor house this time?" Father Qi asked.
