Chapter 804: Begging for Skill
The smile on Sheng Ze's face faded for a moment, and after a pause he said, "That was given to me by my father when I was born. It doesn't have the effect of mobilizing the three armies, but it represents my status."
The reason why Sheng Zhan hurriedly announced his death was largely because the jade pendant had not been found. However, because it was so unbelievable that he and Ling Yun escaped, Sheng Zhan still believed it after a while.
Shen Qingqian nodded, "In that case, I'll keep it."
She could still handle it as long as it represented his identity.
"Fifth Miss is calling you, go out quickly." Sheng Ze heard Shen Qingning's voice and said helplessly.
Shen Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "Fifth sister must have asked me to help her thread the needle again. I'll be leaving first."
Shen Qingning is good at cooking, but her needlework skills are hard to describe.
Originally, Shen Qingqian thought that her needlework skills were poor, but compared with Shen Qingning, her original skills were excellent.
No wonder Lin was always worried about Shen Qingning's marriage. If a woman from Dajin was not good at needlework, especially one from an ordinary family, she would definitely not have anyone who would come to propose marriage.
Sheng Ze didn't come out until a cup of tea later after Shen Qingqian left. When he came out, he saw Shen Qingning screaming in frustration because he couldn't thread a needle for a long time.
"Fifth sister, don't worry. There are seven needles in total, from big to small. You can always thread them." Shen Qingqian was tired and no longer had any hope for her fifth sister.
The Qiqiao Festival in the Jin Dynasty was almost a girls' festival, mainly attended by women who prayed to the moon for cleverness, hoping that their needlework skills could be as outstanding as the Vega star in the sky.
A routine part of this activity is threading the needles. The needles are arranged from large to small, and each girl has to thread all seven needles to have a good meaning.
But Shen Qingning only put on the first three and couldn't put on the rest no matter what he did. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Oh, you can't even wear something so simple. I'm afraid you won't be able to sew your clothes when they get torn in the future." Ling Yun came over at some point and couldn't help gloating when he saw Shen Qingning like this.
Shen Qingning was already anxious. When he heard this, he immediately glared at him fiercely and said unconvincedly: "If you can do it, come on!"
Humph! She just didn't believe that Cheng Yun, a man, could thread all seven needles!
Ling Yun chuckled twice, "Come on, just watch carefully."
As he spoke, he directly picked up the thread that Shen Qingning had used to thread three needles and continued to thread the needle.
Shen Qingning stared at his fingers nervously. The thread end was placed in front of the needle hole, and the next moment, the thread end passed through the hole.
"Little girl, see, I'm putting it on now." Ling Yun became even more proud after putting on a piece of cloth, staring at Shen Qingning provocatively.
Shen Qingning snatched the thread from his hand and said angrily, "I can wear it too!"
"Then go ahead!" Ling Yun spread his hands indifferently.
I don’t know if it was because of Ling Yun’s stimulation, but this time Shen Qingning actually threaded the fifth needle in one go.
"Ah! I put it on!" Shen Qingning excitedly turned sideways and grabbed Shen Qingqian's hand and shouted, "Sixth sister, I put the fifth needle through!"
In previous years, she could only wear the third one at most, but unexpectedly this time she could wear the fifth one.
Before Shen Qingqian could encourage her, Ling Yun interrupted her and said, "It's only the fifth one. It would be a real talent if you can thread the seventh one."
Shen Qingning, who could not stand being provoked to begin with, was now provoked by Ling Yun's words, and his momentum rose high. "Just wait, I will definitely go through the seventh one!"
"Okay, I'll wait." Ling Yun's smile really deserved a beating.
