The brothers were totally unprepared. I want to cry when I think about it now!!
The cabbages from my own garden were eaten by pigs from outside!!
"My mother didn't let me go out of the house and made me learn how to embroider my wedding dolls at home."
When Lin Yuxin mentioned this, her lips pouted. She felt aggrieved, but she didn't say anything.
"What's wrong? Are you not doing well in your studies?"
Li Xiaochen looked at Lin Yuxin's expression and laughed for a moment. He thought this girl was omnipotent, but she was actually troubled by embroidery?
"Yes! I have studied for more than a month. If I still can't learn it, then I am really stupid!"
Lin Yuxin glared at Li Xiaochen and said unhappily.
"Haha! Her! Even though she has one hand full of needles, embroidery is really not her strong point. I went back to see her hands full of needle holes. I finally know that Xinxin is not omnipotent!"
Lin Shaoyang looked at Lin Yuxin's hand, without hiding anything for her, he directly exposed her shortcomings.
"Xinxin! Is your hand injured? Can I take a look?"
After hearing what Lin Shaoyang said, Li Xiaochen frowned, anxiously held Lin Yuxin's hand, and observed carefully, and there were indeed some pinholes.
Li Xiaochen was immediately distressed. He didn't notice it when he was alone with Xinxin just now? He didn't know until Lin Shaoyang told him. He was so remiss!
"It's okay, I'm almost healed. I just had a few punctures when I first started learning! I haven't been hurt in this period of time. What's more, I successfully sewed a handkerchief. Ding ding ding! See?"
Lin Yuxin glared at Lin Shaoyang. It was all because of her second brother's big mouth. He exposed her shortcomings in front of so many people. Didn't she have any face?
But she was quite proud of her embroidery. Then she saw Lin Yuxin proudly holding the handkerchief she had just embroidered yesterday!
Hehe! She embroidered the handkerchief for a month but didn't get any farts, but she did get a handkerchief!
This also makes her feel very accomplished! !
When Lin Yuxin took the handkerchief, she looked very proud, waiting for the compliments from the brothers.
"Can I see it?"
Seeing her like that, Lin Shaoyang became even more curious and took it directly, intending to carefully examine his sister's work!
"Yes! Indeed, this duck embroidery is very lifelike. It seems that my sister really has a talent for this!"
Lin Shaoyang looked at it for a while before he recognized the duck, but since it was embroidered by his younger sister, he had to praise it anyway, so he would praise it first! !
"Brother, what are you looking at? Where did that duck come from?"
When Lin Yuxin heard this, she immediately retorted, “Those two pigeons were obviously embroidered so beautifully, how could they look like ducks?”
"Ah? A Chinese harem? Hehe, it looks good too. Really, it looks good? If you don't believe me, ask your brother."
Lin Shaoyang's face froze. What? Seeing that his sister looked unhappy, he quickly passed this hot potato to his brother.
Lin Shixiao took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully. Although the embroidery on it looked weird, it still had some charm if you looked closely.
"Mm, 놆鴛鴦, Xinxin's embroidery is really beautiful!"
There was a hint of discomfort on Lin Shixiao's stern face. This was the first time he lied.
The other brothers were very curious when they saw this. They passed it around and looked at it one by one. After they had looked at it, none of them said a word, and the words of praise turned around in their mouths for a few times before they came out.
Seeing them like this, Li Xiaochen glared at these brothers-in-law coldly. They couldn't even act. What if Xinxin knew that she was not good at embroidery and got sad?
He reached out and snatched back the handkerchief Xinxin was embroidering, took a look at it, and a smile flashed in his eyes. This girl's embroidery was really not very good, but he still carefully folded the handkerchief, put it against his chest, patted it gently and said:
"The first handkerchief Xinxin embroidered must be given to me, so I will accept it!"
The worthless appearance made several brothers-in-law twitch their lips.
Ji Qingxue, who was still standing by, spoke up:
"Xinxin, embroidery is a skill that is accumulated over time. It's already very good that you can embroider like this in a month. If you want to embroider again in the future, you can ask me and I will teach you."
Ji Qingxue had just seen Lin Yuxin's handkerchief. Although it was indeed horrible to look at, Xinxin was a girl and her confidence could not be crushed.
"Really? That's great. If I have any questions in the future, I will ask Sister Ji for help? No, I will ask Sister-in-law for help!"
Lin Yuxin nodded happily and joked, which made Ji Qingxue blush. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at everyone.
Seeing this, Lin Chenglie glared at Xinxin unhappily. This girl, her words were so irresponsible. Miss Ji was obviously thin-skinned, she might be scared away by him.
He looked at Ji Qingxue's drooping face again, her eyes full of smiles, and he didn't want to blink.
"Sister Ji, look, my brother just glared at me. You have to make the decision for me!"
Lin Yuxin obviously saw it too, so she was not afraid that she would hit her brother. She rolled her eyes, took Ji Qingxue's hand, and acted coquettishly to complain.
Hehe, Lin Yuxin nodded secretly in her heart. It seems that this trip out is the right one. Looking at her elder brother's worthless look, she knows that the relationship between her elder brother and sister Ji has made great progress! !
“Yuxin!!”
Ji Qingxue's face turned even redder.
"Ha ha!"
For a moment, the whole stand was filled with joy.
…
The next day, Lin Yuxin entered the palace early in the morning and stayed in the imperial study with the emperor for more than an hour before coming out. No one knew what they said, but that afternoon the emperor issued an imperial decree that shocked the whole country:
Men aged eight or above are allowed to join the army voluntarily for a period of 1 year, and they will be discharged after 1 year with preferential treatment.
If anyone behaves badly, does nothing, is idle, or causes trouble, if he is reported, he will be sent directly to the military camp for a period of one year.
As soon as this imperial decree was issued, the entire Xia Kingdom experienced turmoil, and many families could not accept it.
Because many people in ancient times thought that joining the army meant they would die, so many people who joined the army came from poor families or had great ambitions and aspirations.
Generally speaking, families with sufficient conditions would not send their children to die in the military camp.
This imperial edict immediately made this New Year's Eve very lively.
Although this imperial edict made some people uneasy, they did not force them to join the army because it clearly stated that it was voluntary.
Those who had nothing to do and were causing trouble during the New Year went to complain the next day after the imperial edict was issued, saying that the man had done something outrageous.
For example, the husband of that family had a fight with that one, the husband of that family went to gamble, and the husband of that family molested the women!
The government will decide based on the severity of the crime, and for serious cases, direct criminal punishment will be imposed.
Those who are light and cannot be treated will be thrown directly into the barracks and trained for 10 years.
As for the male horses that caused trouble at the horse farm this time, Lin Yuxin directly asked Xueying to report it. Within two days, she heard that these male horses were escorted to the military camp. She heard that those male horses were crying with tears in their eyes, which was very miserable.
Lin Yuxin, who made Xia Guo feel uncomfortable, felt very comfortable herself. This was her first time celebrating the New Year here, and she was curious about everything.
These past few days, Lin Yuxin followed Zhao Hanya around like a curious baby, or else she would go for a stroll to see how lively the capital was during the New Year.
