The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 1195 No. 1

Everyone's attention gradually turned to her, especially the judges.

The judges were all masters in the embroidery industry from various places. They could quickly tell the level of the contestants. Now, everyone was gratified by the girl's outstanding performance.

"It seems our embroidery has a successor."

"Yes, that girl's embroidery skills are amazing. She embroiders so fast, and every stitch is in the right place. The key is that she does it so quickly that it's dazzling to watch."

"I didn't expect there to be some promising talents in our embroidery industry. It seems we shouldn't be too pessimistic; there are still many young people interested."

"..."

The judges whispered among themselves, their expressions gradually becoming excited.

The comments from the audience couldn't be heard on stage, but the girl's calm expression and resolute, earnest eyes showed that she was completely immersed in the experience, which made those who had high hopes for her even more optimistic.

Time flies when you're focused on something, and before you know it, it's noon.

Some people brought boxed lunches to the participants, while others ate on their own. With so many people sitting around, the cultural center couldn't provide food for everyone.

As the staff brought the food over, the audience members gradually left to go eat, while some ordered takeout. Soon, the entire venue was filled with the aroma of food.

Tu Yue invited, "Xue Ning, let's go eat together. I know a really good restaurant nearby?"

Shen Xuening glanced at Qin Zizhou, and seeing that he didn't react, she agreed: "Okay, let's go."

The four of them left, and Tu Yue led the way to the restaurant.

……

In the afternoon, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin arrived at the venue together. They called Qin Zizhou, and the six of them sat together in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, Tu Yue was quite good at pleasing the elderly, and the two elders were very happy.

Madam Qin asked with a smile, "Xiao Yue, do you know how to embroider?"

Tu Yue shook her head and said, "I don't have that patience, I can't do this job."

"That's true, you can't do embroidery without patience," Madam Qin smiled. "So what are you doing now?"

“I own a hotel, and I run it,” Tu Yue answered truthfully. “Madam, my hotel is quite nice. If you are interested, you can go and experience it.”

"We'll definitely go if we have the chance," said Madam Qin happily.

Tu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Grandma Qin, I see that you really like embroidery. How about I take you to a shop that specializes in embroidery and have a dress made for you?"

Madam Qin was quite interested: "What kind of clothes are you making?"

Tu Yue imagined what Old Madam Qin would look like in a Tang suit and thought it would be quite nice: "A Tang suit, you look most charming in a Tang suit at your age, and it's all hand-embroidered, I guarantee you'll like it."

Madam Qin nodded: "Alright then, when are we going?"

Tu Yue asked with a smile, "Grandma Qin can go whenever she wants."

Madam Qin glanced at her watch: "Let's go at three o'clock. We've just opened, let's see what's going on first."

Tu Yue readily agreed, "Sure!"

As time went by, the girl in the third seat of the first row became more and more skilled at embroidery. Her skillful needlework and beautiful embroidery drew more and more attention to her.

Shen Xuening focused more of her attention on her: "The embroidery is really good."

Hearing Shen Xuening's sigh, Qin Zizhou asked, "Xuening, how do you compare to her?"

Shen Xuening was silent for a moment: "I don't know, I'll only know after I embroider it." She explained, "Mainly because I've never embroidered a colored butterfly before, so I don't know how it will look."

Qin Zizhou knew that Shen Xuening was being modest, so he smiled and said, "I believe you embroider better than her."

Shen Xuening shook her head: "I don't have confidence."

Qin Zizhou said, "Don't feel guilty. Just start embroidering and we'll see what happens. No matter what the result is, you'll be the best."

Shen Xuening chuckled: "Thank you for your inspirational words, I really found them helpful."

It was three o'clock, and Tu Yue led everyone away. The two elders were going to make clothes, and Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou naturally had to accompany them, since they had nothing important to do.

……

Yuxiu Pavilion.

As the group entered the shop, their outstanding demeanor immediately earned them a warm welcome from the proprietress.

The shop displays a wide variety of fabrics, at least several hundred kinds, each with a high-quality feel, shimmering under the lights.

Near the front desk, a tailor was making clothes. He was an old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing reading glasses, and his serious expression showed that he was an excellent craftsman.

A customer came out of the fitting room and stood in front of the mirror looking at herself with a smile in her eyes, showing that she really liked the cheongsam she was wearing.

There was also a chubby customer picking out fabrics. Everyone loves to look good, and even if you're chubby, you still want to wear nice clothes.

The shop is cluttered with many items, and the traces of time are visible everywhere. But for a cheongsam shop, it's precisely this kind of historical atmosphere that allows them to make the clothes they want.

The shop owner was a woman in her thirties. She was wearing a mustard yellow cheongsam and low-heeled shoes, and her hair was tied up, giving her a very elegant look.

"Hello, are you looking to choose clothes or have them custom-made?" The shop owner asked, pointing to a row of cheongsams hanging on a rack behind her.

Tu Yue greeted her, "Sister Zhang, do you still recognize me? I came here with my mother to have two cheongsams made."

The shop owner pointed at Tu Yue and became even more enthusiastic: "I remember, I remember, of course I remember. How could such a beautiful girl like you not remember? Aren't they all your friends?"

“Yes.” Tu Yue put her arm around Old Madam Qin’s shoulder and walked up to the shop owner. “Today’s star is this old lady. I think she would suit a Tang suit. Would you like to have one made for her?”

The shop owner was taken aback when he saw Madam Qin. It was rare to see an old lady with such an air about her; she must be from a prominent family. So he became even more attentive and enthusiastic: "Madam, what do you think?"

Madam Qin glanced around and said, "Do you have any ready-made Tang suits here? Let me take a look."

"Alright." The shop owner walked in through the front door, and after a while, came out pushing a clothes rack. "Madam, please take a look."

Madam Qin walked over to the clothes rack and began to examine it carefully.

Grandpa Qin helped look at them: "This dark green one is nice, would you like to try it on?"

Madam Qin had considerable trust in Mr. Qin's taste: "It's good, but let's take a look around some more; there's so much here."

Grandpa Qin helped with the selection: "It's fine."

The shop owner chimed in, "Madam, our shop also offers custom-made services. You can choose the fabric and pattern yourself. Our fabrics are all top-quality materials, so feel free to choose one."

Madam Qin nodded to the shop manager: "Let me take a look at the styles first, and then we'll decide."

The shop manager smiled and said, "Then, madam, take your time looking around. Just ask me if you have any questions."

Madam Qin hummed in agreement.

Tu Yue asked Shen Xuening, "Xuening, this is the most famous shop around here. There must be something you like. With such a great figure, you must wear a cheongsam."

Shen Xuening said, "Actually, I prefer the horse-face skirt."

Tu Yue looked Shen Xuening up and down: "We also have horse-face skirts, but not many. They're too figure-dependent, but I think you can definitely pull them off. You can wear more of them."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "I have several horse-face skirts, but they are inconvenient to wear for work, so I have to put them aside."

Tu Yue's eyes widened in surprise: "You're working? What kind of work? Farm work?"

"Yes, I often have to go to the fields," Shen Xuening said frankly. "I'm a farming blogger, how can I not farm?"

Tu Yue quickly shook her head and said, "No, I didn't realize you could work in the fields at all. You're not kidding me, are you?"

Shen Xuening smiled and said seriously, "Of course I'm not joking with you. You can watch my videos when you have time; they're all real."

Tu Yue said with admiration, "It seems I really need to study your videos." She added, "You used to be a young lady from a wealthy family, how do you know how to farm?"

Shen Xuening said easily, "Learn it. Farming isn't difficult, it's just a little hard work."

Tu Yue sighed deeply, "I still can't imagine what it would be like for a rich young lady to work in the fields."

"It's really nothing." Shen Xuening didn't dislike farm work at all; on the contrary, she liked it. "If you come to my place for tourism, I'll take you to do some work. It's not as difficult as you think."

Tu Yue didn't object: "Sure, I'll try it out then."

While they were talking, Old Madam Qin finished choosing the clothes: "Xue Ning, can you help me take a look? What do you think of this dress?"

"You're here." Shen Xuening immediately came over.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that Madam Qin had chosen a light green Tang suit, embroidered with exquisite patterns, which looked elegant and classy—quite impressive.

Shen Xuening said directly, "Grandma, if you like it, buy it."

They don't need the money; they just want to buy what makes them happy.

Qin Zizhou chimed in, "That's right, Grandma. If you like it, just buy it. Let's see if there's anything else you like, and buy it together."

Grandpa Qin also doted on his wife, saying, "If you like her, just buy her. Why ask so many questions?"

Madam Qin scolded playfully, "It's not that I'm too old, I'm afraid of choosing someone who isn't suitable for me."

"Where are you old?" Old Master Qin said, always saying nice things. "You can wear whatever you like."

Madam Qin was pleased with herself and continued selecting items.

Hearing their words, the shop owner knew they were well-off, so he became even more enthusiastic: "Madam, I have even more beautiful clothes, let me show them to you?"

Madam Qin looked at the shop owner and said, "Alright, go and get it."

"Okay." The shop owner immediately went to get more clothes. It was clear that she had brought out all the clothes. "Madam, please take your pick. If you don't like anything here, you can have it custom-made. We'll have the clothes in half a month, very quickly."

"Okay, I'll take a look first." It was clear that Madam Qin was quite satisfied. She didn't just buy designer clothes or custom-made clothes; if she found something she liked, she wouldn't care about anything else.

Madam Qin said to Shen Xuening, "You pick something out too, Grandma will buy it for you."

Shen Xuening never spoils the fun: "Okay, then let Grandma spend the money." So she started picking things out as well.

Qin Zizhou and Grandpa Qin exchanged a glance. Well, it seems that women of all ages like to shop. You two go ahead and buy what you want. We'll wait for you over there.

The two sat down on the sofa and started chatting about topics that interested them.

Tu Yue and Gong Li helped Shen Xuening and Old Madam Qin pick out clothes. The four women chatted and laughed, no longer needing any men.

I spent over an hour browsing in the store, and it was already past four o'clock.

Madam Qin finally picked out three outfits she liked. Shen Xuening picked one, and Tu Yue and Gong Li each picked one. Madam Qin liked Tu Yue, so she paid for both Tu Yue and Gong Li's outfits together. So, Madam Qin paid for everything today.

Tu Yue said, "Grandma Qin, thank you."

Gong Li quickly said, "Grandma Qin, thank you for buying me clothes. I will always remember you."

Madam Qin smiled kindly and said, "I'm glad you like it. If you come to City A for fun in the future, you can come to my house to visit me. I quite enjoy spending time with you young people."

Tu Yue said, "No problem, I'll bring Grandma Qin some local specialties."

Shen Xuening said to Madam Qin, "Grandma, we're getting ready to return to the Cultural Palace. Do you and Grandpa want to come back with us?"

Madam Qin looked at Grandpa Qin and said, "We won't go back. You go ahead. We'll come to see you when you compete tomorrow."

Shen Xuening said, "Alright, you two elders go back and rest first. Eat when you're hungry, no need to wait for us."

Old Madam Qin wanted to eat with her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, so she said, "No, we'll wait for you to come back so we can eat together. Go quickly and come back soon."

Shen Xuening then said, "Alright, we'll be going now. We'll be back in a bit. Be careful on your way back."

Grandpa Qin said, "I'll drive, don't worry."

Qin Zizhou had no choice but to say, as his grandfather's driving addiction seemed to have been triggered: "Grandpa, don't be careless."

"I know, I know." Old Master Qin led Old Madam Qin out, muttering, "Young people these days talk so much, they're not as good as old folks like us."

After watching the two elders drive away, Shen Xuening and the others returned to the Cultural Palace.

I got back to the Cultural Palace at exactly five o'clock. The competition ended at six o'clock, leaving one hour to go. At this time, the participants were all finishing up.

The girl that Shen Xuening was paying special attention to has finished her embroidery. Judging from the camera, the embroidery is flawless and deserves to be called a fine piece of embroidery.

The girl looked very tired, but her eyes were bright and sparkling, a testament to the sense of accomplishment she felt from completing a piece of work. It was clear that she was very satisfied with the embroidery.

Judges—

"As expected of our favorite contestant, the embroidery is impeccable."

“Our embroidery industry has successors. I originally thought that young people wouldn’t like it, but today I see that it’s not that young people don’t like it, but they probably don’t have a place to showcase their talents. In the future, we should provide them with more platforms like this so that everyone can see their work.”

"The embroidery is so beautiful, that girl can be considered the number one today."
