In the east building, Mrs. Meng also noticed the difference in the embroidered screen.

"Jiu Yatou, my eyes are not blurry!" Old Mrs. Meng said: "No matter how I look at the front and back of this embroidered screen, they are the same."

Miss Jiu said: "Grandma is right, the front and back of this embroidered screen are embroidered with red plums and daffodils. It is probably double-sided embroidery!"

The eldest wife of the Yu family said from the side: "If it is really double-sided embroidery, it would be really rare."

While talking, two male servants had already brought up the embroidered screen.

Everyone couldn't help but gathered around and saw that there was no thread showing on the front and back of the screen. It was indeed double-sided embroidery.

"It turns out to be real double-sided embroidery."

When the embroidered screen was carried to the west building, Bai Xiuniang first noticed that the reverse side of the embroidered screen was embroidered with red plum blossoms and daffodils like the front.

As a Suzhou embroiderer, Bai Embroiderer has naturally seen double-sided embroidery. On the embroidery screen in front of her, there is no fault in either the threads or the stitches, which shows the level of the embroiderer.

Bai Xiu Niang has been in Fucheng for so many years, but she has never heard of an embroidery girl from Fucheng who has such a unique skill.

She glanced at all the embroiderers present one by one, and quickly rejected them.

Bai Xiu Niang knew more or less the embroidery skills of everyone present. They couldn't even compare to her own embroidery skills, let alone such a difficult embroidery skill as double-sided embroidery.

So who is this person?

Bai Xiuniang couldn't help but think of a person, and only this person could embroider double-sided embroidery.

While Bai Xiu Niang was guessing, three qualified embroidery ladies had already gathered in front of the embroidery screen.

It is the honor of every embroiderer to see a double-sided embroidery work in her lifetime.

These three qualified embroiderers are naturally no exception.

After they looked at it carefully, they were amazed and felt that this embroidery skill was almost comparable to that of the most famous embroiderer in Jiangnan.

"I don't think there is any need to compare later. The first among these embroideries is the double-sided embroidery in front of me." The three embroidery ladies unanimously praised this double-sided embroidery as the first place, and they all voted for it.

.

Although the other embroidery ladies were very jealous, they were also convinced that they had lost. After all, this was a rare double-sided embroidery.

With the double-sided embroidered beads and jade in front, everyone was no longer interested in the embroidery below.

Next, even though two rare pieces of embroidery appeared, only one of the three embroiderers cast a card.

Seeing this, Bai Xiu Niang's expectation of shining in this embroidery event was extinguished.

The embroidery she took out this time was her best work in recent years, but with such precious embroidery as double-sided embroidery, it would be difficult to compete with it.

Sure enough, when the kitten embroidered by Bai Xiu Niang was brought to the three qualified embroidery ladies, the three of them were all impressed, but they only voted two A cards.

Bai Xiu Niang comforted herself, these were three qualified embroidery ladies with relatively high standards, and maybe there would be someone in the east building who would appreciate her embroidery.

While Bai Xiu Niang was worrying about gains and losses, all her embroidery products had been judged by everyone.

The next step is to count the cards.

In order to show fairness, Shen Xiu specially brought the cards in the basket to people, and then counted the cards one by one in front of all the embroiderers.

Not surprisingly, the double-sided embroidery work received the most A-cards.

The second is the embroidery of Bai Xiu Niang.

The third place is an embroiderer who is proficient in Shu embroidery.

The top three will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.

Bai Xiu Niang was not very interested in the one hundred taels of silver. She was more interested in who embroidered the double-sided embroidery.

During the competition between Shen Xiu and Shi Xiu Niang, half of the embroidery ladies showed off their embroidery work. However, half of the embroidery ladies did not show their embroidery work.

Bai Xiu Niang was not sure whether her guess was wrong.

It wasn't until the results were announced and Shen Xiu stood up that Bai Xiu Niang's eyes showed a hint of complexity, and it turned out to be her.

Shen Xiu smiled and saluted everyone, "My little sister admitted it."

The others behaved similarly to Bai Xiu Niang, which was both unexpected and reasonable.

Only Shi Xiu Niang felt very unhappy. She had been unwilling to lose to Shen Xiu before. Now that the other party had won the first place in the embroidery event, she was even more unwilling to accept it.

It's just that she had lured Shen Xiu into trouble before, but was forced to fight, and she lost miserably.

As a result, Shi Xiu Niang became a little more wary of Shen Xiu and did not dare to say anything more for fear that if she was not careful, the other party would catch her sore foot again.

When they learned that Shen Xiu was the one who embroidered the double-sided embroidery, the reaction of everyone in the east building was completely different.

Old Mrs. Meng said: "Ms. Shen is really keeping things secret. If I had known earlier that she could embroider on both sides, I would have spent so much money to invite her to my home."

"Perhaps that's why Mrs. Shen doesn't want to say that she can do double-sided embroidery!" Miss Jiu said, "Fortunately, I recognized Mrs. Shen as an embroidery master early, so that I can be the first to get the most."

"Miss Ninth is right." The eldest wife of the Yu family said: "Mrs. Shen hid this matter before, probably because she didn't want to cause trouble. But I'm afraid she won't be able to be quiet in the future. From now on, she will wait for the embroidery workshops in Fucheng to show off her flowers.

Pay her a high price!"

Shen Xiu relied on double-sided embroidery to become famous at the embroidery event.

After this incident reached Fan Guangzu's ears, he realized that he had great luck and that Shen Xiu could embroider on both sides. In this way, his embroidery workshop would not have to worry about running out of business in the future.

He also complained that Shen Xiu should not have told this matter earlier.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "I just want to give Shopkeeper Fan a surprise."

This is indeed a surprise.

But this was obviously more joy than surprise. With a smile on his face, Fan Guangzu no longer dwelled on the matter and quickly changed the topic, "What should we do next?"

Shen Xiudao: "Now I have a reputation. The next step is to transfer my reputation to Jinxinxiufang."

"I have a question. If it's so troublesome, why didn't Madam Shen participate in the embroidery event in the name of Jinxin Embroidery Workshop?" Fan Guangzu said: "If the embroidery ladies were allowed to represent their respective embroidery workshops, this would not highlight our Jinxin Embroidery Workshop.

The reputation of Xinxiufang.”

"Shopkeeper Fan is right. But in this way, we will inevitably offend many people." Shen Xiudao, "I am sure that I can compare with other embroidery workshops, but in this way, we will make too many enemies.

Shopkeeper Fan is a businessman and should know the consequences of making too many enemies."

"This is indeed a lack of consideration on my part." Fan Guangzu immediately realized his mistake, "Ms. Shen, you are more thoughtful and only compete in your own name. This will not harm the reputation of the embroidery studios."

Shen Xiu smiled lightly. Before holding the embroidery event, she had thought about the method Fan Guangzu said, but she felt that it would offend her peers, so she gave up the idea.
