[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

Zhiqing and Xie Qichen entered Jinxiu Villa together. On the first floor of the Xiulou, there was no one except the loom. On the second floor, Zhenmei and Xiaoling were fiddling with needlework. When they saw General Xie coming up, they said, "Aunt Yun has something to return to the flowers." Erjin got away in a hurry.Zhiqing couldn't help looking sideways, it seemed that Xie Qichen's usual serious expression was quite intimidating to these little embroidered girls.But now that the embroidery of the picture with the relatives is finished, the embroidery building is no longer bustling as before, and it looks a little deserted.

Zhiqing told Xie Qichen what she saw in Tianxingtang and her doubts. Although Luo Zhao is a famous doctor in Wufenggu and often helped people in the past, she knew Chunsi well, so no matter how she thought about it, she felt that Luo Zhao was suspicious.Listening to Zhiqing's words, Xie Qichen frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he promised to send someone to monitor Luo Zhao.What he is most worried and worried about now is the connection with Qin Tu. If he can't restore the "Hundred Flowers Blooming" flawlessly and give Rouran an excuse to go to war, now he must secretly start raising military supplies and salaries.

For nearly half a year, the prosperity and tranquility of Wufeng Valley made this experienced iron-blooded general more tired of the war. He sighed helplessly, his eyes touched the gorgeous and eye-catching picture of marriage, and he was stunned. god.

Zhiqing followed him to look over, and the embroidered marriage picture was placed on the table. Although it was beautiful, it was a pity because the disconnected parts could not form a grand and magnificent whole.She stepped forward to caress the alternate warp and weft patterns on the base pattern and the plump and beautiful flowers. Her fingers inadvertently touched the edges where the two embroideries meet. arrive?

Grandpa said that Empress Canhua had already taught Mulan the art of restoring the warp and weft, but Empress Canhua only gave Mulan a magnolia flower weaving embroidery that had been torn in half.Zhiqing took out a white silk handkerchief from her body, and after she opened it and flattened it——with a thud, the silk handkerchief that was intact just now was torn in half by her force.

"Why is this?" Xie Qichen looked at Zhiqing in surprise.

What is the mystery of this? Zhiqing carefully looked at the part of the silk handkerchief with the torn fringe in the middle, and murmured in thought: "Mulan said, that's what the concubine did at that time..." She looked up at Xie Qichen, Unexpectedly, his eyes were fixed on his cuffs.

Zhiqing walked up to Xie Qichen slowly, grabbed his sleeve and looked at him for a long time.She recognized this dark-colored dress with dark silver threads. At that time, there was a long hole in the cuff, and she patched it up with silk thread of the same color. Even if you look closely now, you can't see the trace of the patch.This kind of craftsmanship is really nothing to an embroidery girl with outstanding embroidery skills.

Xie Qichen saw Zhiqing pulling his cuff in a daze, coughed awkwardly, "Zhiqing, you..."

Zhiqing didn't notice Xie Qichen's strangeness at all, and suddenly raised her face with a bright smile, "I know what the art of restoring the latitude and longitude is!"

The confident and charming smile on her face made Xie Qichen stunned on the spot, and it took a while to realize what Zhiqing said.He held Zhiqing's arms excitedly, and asked in disbelief: "Zhiqing, what are you thinking!"

Zhiqing smiled and said nothing, took out embroidery needles and almost transparent white silk thread from her embroidery bag, found a round stool anywhere, and began to mend.The so-called restoration of warp and weft is just a fine sewing technique. According to the texture of the section, with the torn raw edge as the traction, the silk thread of the same texture and thickness can be used to weave and embroider again to achieve unexpected results.The reason why it cannot be connected without flaws is because each embroidered part is complete, and no one will tear up the intact embroidery and darn it again. The art of warp and weft restoration is just the opposite.

Xie Qichen carefully observed Zhiqing's expression, paying attention to every stitch and every thread of her... When she put the sewed silk handkerchief in his hand, Xie Qichen's expression of surprise was indescribable, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes , she really is a rare weaving genius.He stared at her deeply, his heart was surging, and he held her hand unconsciously.

Zhiqing was startled, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but was held tightly by Xie Qichen, unable to break free, she looked into his eyes, and forgot to speak for a moment.

A series of footsteps rushing up to the second floor revealed excitement, "Mother, mother..."

Mulan's voice interrupted the embarrassing relationship between the two of them, Xie Qichen loosened his hand slightly, and Zhiqing quickly withdrew it.Mulan ran up to the second floor and didn't see her mother. She saw Xie Qichen and Zhiqing standing there, looking around curiously, "Zhiqing, are you there? General Xie, I asked Mo Jiang to help me find you just now." .”

Xie Qichen saw that Zhiqing lowered her head silently, looked at Mulan, and asked, "Is there something urgent?"

Mulan looked joyful, "General Xie, I have realized it, I finally know what the art of restoring the latitude and longitude is!"

Xie Qichen also smiled, and said: "Great, Mulan, Zhiqing has just realized the art of restoring the latitude and longitude, it seems that you coincidentally."

"Really!" Mulan walked over excitedly and took Zhiqing's hand and shook it, "Zhiqing, I only told you once what the concubine said to you, and you can understand it, you are so smart!"

Just as Zhiqing was about to joke with Mulan, she felt the strings in her head tense. The concubine said more than that to Mulan. The concubine only loves magnolia flowers, and the strange things that happened in Wufeng Valley are all related to magnolia flowers. The connection between the two...

"Mulan, I remember you told me that there is a whole set of hand-soaking tools in the palace of the concubine, you must have a deep understanding of this, right?"

Mulan froze for a moment, and felt strange thinking about it, "It should be. At that time, I also wondered that the empress dowager also understands the unique method of soaking hands created by Wufenggu."

Zhiqing frowned. The secret recipe for soaking hands in Wufeng Valley originated from Tianxingtang. In retrospect, it should be Luo Zhao's original creation. So does he have anything to do with the concubine and magnolia flower?Xie Qichen beside her was even more startled by her question, he glared at Mulan angrily, "Where did the method of soaking hands in the Valley of the Five Phoenixes come from?"

"It should be regarded as Dr. Luo's own creation."

"What else did the concubine tell you!"

Mulan thought for a while, and looked at them with a puzzled look, "When I was about to leave the palace, the concubine said something very strange. She said that magnolia flowers are beautiful but also very bitter. Life and death are often just a matter of thought. .”

"Did Luo Zhao ask you about entering the palace?"

"On the day we came back, Doctor Luo and Xiao Sanzi came to prepare the medicinal soup for my hands. At that time, they did ask about the affairs of the palace. Doctor Luo has always been very caring and intimate. I met him on the way back just now. And ask me about the concatenation..."

Xie Qichen hurriedly left the embroidery building without waiting for Mulan to finish speaking, Zhiqing looked at his leaving back and sighed in his heart, it seemed that Luo Zhao really had a problem.It was getting late, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Zhiqing politely declined Mulan's invitation to stay with her for dinner, and planned to return to Luoshen Manor as soon as possible.

At this time, Fuling, Zisu and other embroidered girls should be eating in the dining hall, and there was no one in the yard.Zhiqing was about to leave through the front yard, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure flashing in the side yard not far to the left.She turned her head subconsciously, and just bumped into the eyes of Luo Zhao who was cautiously coming out from inside.

Luo Zhao was carrying a pole with two full wooden barrels hanging on it.In the quiet courtyard, he suddenly saw Zhiqing, who swayed and nearly knocked over the barrel, but luckily managed to stabilize it in time.Zhiqing stood still, he took a few steps forward and stopped a few feet away.

Zhiqing pretended to be nonchalant, and asked curiously: "Doctor Luo, why are you here? And I'm bothering you to carry the pole, where's the third son?"

Luo Zhao smiled, "Little Sanzi is sick, so I had to come by myself. Actually, I was supposed to come here tomorrow morning, but I plan to go to the mountains tomorrow to collect herbs, so I had to go today."

"Then I won't delay Dr. Luo, Mulan is still in the embroidery building, do you want to go there?

Luo Zhao glanced at the Xiulou restlessly, responded hastily, and prepared to leave with a shoulder pole.Zhiqing waited for him to go far away, and walked a few steps to the moon cave gate in the side yard, and saw a greasy water stain on the ground, which didn't feel like medicinal soup.She squatted down and touched some with her hand, it seemed oily, put it in her nose and sniffed it—it was vegetable oil!

Zhiqing stood up frightened, she had to go to the guards quickly, lest something serious happen!Unexpectedly, just as she was about to turn around, she felt a pain in her neck, her eyes darkened, and she lost consciousness immediately.

Luo Zhaosen narrowed his eyes coldly, with a trace of helplessness, and whispered: "Zhiqing, don't blame me..."

"General!" Xie Qichen, who had already rushed to Tianxing Hall, was stopped by a flying soldier, "Splendid Villa is on fire!"

Xie Qichen turned his horse's head in shock, and saw the flames and smoke billowing into the sky in the distance. "go back!"

The embroidered building of Jinxiu Villa suddenly caught fire, and the people in the courtyard were in a mess. The soldiers guarding the gate were trying their best to put out the fire.Mulan was trapped on the second floor, and Fuling Zisu below was crying her name...

When Xie Qichen arrived, Duo Lun had just rescued Mulan from the second floor desperately, Xie Qichen ran over in a hurry, shaking Mulan, "Where is Zhiqing!"

"Zhiqing..." Mulan panicked, and it took her a long time to react, "It's okay, Zhiqing has already returned to Luoshen Manor..."

"Ah!" Before she could finish speaking, a shrill cry came from the embroidery building that was about to collapse.

Xie Qichen's heart trembled, he left the crowd and rushed into the crowd...

The author has something to say: I really can't understand the so-called warp and weft restoration technique, I hope it's reasonable to write like this...
