Chapter 1520: Sending Lanterns
Princess Linghua gritted her teeth and looked at Erpan.
I really want to ask Erpan, what do we ordinary people mean?
However, under Erpan's innocent gaze, his fists loosened and then tightened again.
Finally, he turned back with a frustrated look on his face.
Forget it, compared to Su Tang, I am just an ordinary person!
A hint of pride instantly appeared on Erpan's face.
Humph! Finally got a win!
At this time, the county magistrate's wife, Shopkeeper Li and others also stood up in shock.
"Could it be... that this is the real Gu's flying needle?" Mrs. Zhang exclaimed.
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Shopkeeper Li.
In addition to shock, there was more disbelief on Shopkeeper Li's face.
No one understood better than her what happened to the Gu family back then.
The ancient acupuncture manual that clearly recorded it had been burned, and the true ancient acupuncture manual had been lost...
Shopkeeper Li's head was buzzing and his expression became increasingly ugly.
When the county magistrate's wife saw the expression on Manager Li's face, she suddenly felt relieved.
Only then did she realize that she would rather the girl on the stage win than the people from Jinxiufang win.
She has disliked Manager Li for a long time!
He was clearly just a humble manager of an embroidery workshop, but he relied on the background of his master's family to show off in front of her, the wife of the county magistrate!
Humph! Don’t you even realize who you are?
The noise from the audience soon attracted the attention of several girls who were competing on the stage.
A girl in pink next to Tang Bao glanced sideways at Tang Bao and almost dropped the embroidery needle in her hand.
Oh my god! Is this something a human can do?
I saw embroidery needles flying between Tang Bao's fingers...
The girl in pink put her hand over her heart.
Tian Yingluan, the county magistrate's youngest daughter, followed the gaze of the people in the audience and looked in the direction of Tang Bao.
Just one glance and he opened his mouth and eyes wide and stood up subconsciously.
Oh my god! Is this embroidery?
Tian Yingluan walked over unconsciously, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
Ahhhh... this is the highest realm of embroidery!
Tian Yingluan screamed in her heart and almost knelt down to become his disciple.
When the girl in pink saw Tian Yingluan coming, she also stood up.
As for the competition?
Is there any need for comparison?
As Tian Yingluan and the girl in pink walked over, the other girls who noticed Tang Bao also stood up.
Thus, a rare scene occurred at the Qiqiao Festival, which had been held many times.
The girls who were competing on the stage gave up the competition one after another and walked around a little girl.
Every girl opened her eyes wide and looked at the embroidery needles flying between the little girl's fingers.
In the end, apart from Tang Bao still competing on the stage, only Gu Xiu Niang was left.
Gu Xiu Niang naturally noticed the movement around her, but she did not look up, forcing herself to concentrate on embroidering.
She must win!
Must win!
"Bang!"
The competition ended when the gong sounded.
Tang Bao took back the last stitch, and the entire Buddha statue was just finished embroidering.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple!" Tian Yingluan grabbed Tang Bao's hand and shouted with burning eyes.
Tang Bao: “…”
The shadow of Concubine Xian was seen on Tian Yingluan's face.
"Young Master, can you also accept me as your apprentice?" the girl in pink called out.
"Little Master, and I..."
"Young Master..."
Led by Tian Yingluan, a group of girls surrounded Tang Bao and expressed their desire to become her apprentice.
All those who dare to go on stage to participate in the competition are girls with superb embroidery skills.
Therefore, when they saw Tang Bao's embroidery skills, they felt extremely excited.
Who wouldn’t want to have a skill like this?
They also want to learn from a master!
After putting away her needlework, the ancient embroiderer finally stood up and walked towards Tang Bao.
Unfortunately, Tang Bao and the Buddha statue she embroidered were blocked by a group of girls, and Gu Xiu Niang could not see them.
"Okay, the competition is over. Ladies, please return to your embroidery frames and wait for someone to give you lanterns."
The woman who was the host spoke loudly, but her heart was in turmoil and filled with emotion.
Is it necessary to evaluate the results of this competition?
Anyone who is not blind knows who to give the lantern to!
Even the wife of the county magistrate would be embarrassed to give the lantern to her own daughter.
After hearing what the woman said, the group of girls did not return to their seats, but instead went off the stage one after another.
They have given up on competing and no longer have the desire to compete. They just want to learn from a master.
If I stand back in front of my embroidery frame, I will be asking for trouble.
There was no one blocking her way, and the ancient embroiderer was finally able to see Tang Bao's work.
"This is impossible!" Gu Xiu Niang screamed with her eyes wide open.
She had just finished embroidering the Buddha's head.
How could such a young girl embroider an entire Buddha statue?
This is absolutely impossible!
Tang Bao looked at Gu Xiu Niang, smiled slightly, and said, "Why not? The exquisiteness of Gu's needlework is to turn the impossible into the possible!"
Gu Xiuniang's pupils tightened.
"You are using the Gu's needlework?!" Lady Gu's face was full of disbelief!
Hasn’t the ancient acupuncture method been lost?
"This is the genuine Gu's acupuncture method, definitely not a copycat version!" Tang Bao said meaningfully.
Ancient Embroidery Lady: “…”
I took a step back involuntarily.
Soon, the people who received lanterns in the audience began to go on stage to present the lanterns and vote.
Everyone holding a lantern walked towards Tang Bao without hesitation.
Tang Bao stood quietly on the stage with a smile on her face.
On the embroidery frame behind her is a complete Buddha statue.
The Buddha in the statue has kind eyes and a benevolent look, as if he were alive.
He radiated a soft light all over his body and looked at the world with compassion.
Everyone who came in front of Tang Bao worshipped the Buddha statue with a pious look on their face.
Then, carefully place the lantern in the bamboo basket in front of Tang Bao, just like burning incense in front of the Buddha.
Tian Yingluan walked up to the host and asked eagerly, "Auntie Xue, can I also participate in the selection? I want to give Master a lantern!"
The host, Aunt Xue, twitched her lips.
Did he agree to take you as his apprentice?
"Can we also participate in the selection? We also want to give lanterns to Master!"
Behind Tian Yingluan, a group of girls spoke up one after another.
The host, Aunt Xue, looked at the county magistrate's wife.
The county magistrate's wife said, "These girls are good at needlework, so they are naturally qualified for the selection!"
In fact, whether these girls send lanterns or not, the result is no doubt.
The county magistrate's wife was naturally very happy and generous.
What if that little girl really agrees to teach her daughter such exquisite needlework?
When the county magistrate's wife thought of this, her heart was burning with anger.
After hearing what the county magistrate's wife said, a group of girls went to receive the lanterns with excitement on their faces.
Today they accepted their defeat wholeheartedly, without a trace of resentment!
Thus, a rare scene appeared again at the Qiqiao Festival.
The girls who were originally participating in the competition came on stage one after another holding lanterns.
And, the lantern was presented to the same little girl.
