"It's just a floral display, second aunt must be ridiculing it." Jiang Wan humbly glanced at the Qin family.

In this round, the Qin family should be the first to show their cards.

It was obvious that the Qin had not recovered yet.

Whatever she ate, what she wore, what she used, and what she learned, they were all arranged or ordered by her. Although she usually played a few rounds with Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu at home, from Jiang Wan's way of holding and laying cards, even though she wasn't clumsy to the point of hastening a person's death, it still wasn't to such an extent.

'Could it be that this little girl had been hiding her tricks in front of me all this time? '

It was the same when he copied the scriptures from the buddhist scriptures. In the middle of the night, Jiang Wan's calligraphy became graceful and energetic.

"Hai, why are you still in a daze?" Madam Qiao pushed née Qin. "They're all waiting for you."

With an apologetic smile, he picked his own card and threw it out.

"What a coincidence. How did Mother know I wanted this card?" Jiang Wan smiled as she pushed down the two cards. She then ate the cards the Qin had just thrown in and went out to play another card.

The Qin family's expression darkened.

After a few laps, she felt more and more like Jiang Wan was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

Jiang Wan chose not to touch the cards that Madam Qiao had played. Instead, she played the same gaudy cards that she had played, so she gave up on playing the cards. It was even a small pair of seven!

After calculating, she would have to pay twenty-four times.

The Qin's heart was furious, but seeing that Madam Qiao and the Jiang were sitting together on the table, they could only say to Jiang Wan indifferently, "Sister Wan'er, you are not allowed to play cards like this."

"Mother really can't blame me. Who told you to be so quick? I didn't even get to see Second Aunt's hand clearly before you played." However, Jiang Wan giggled and said, "Originally, I was regretting not being able to eat Second Aunt's card, but it just so happens that mother did the same."

Jiang Wan had an innocent and lovable expression on her face, as if just a moment ago, she had only just coincidentally taken a card from the Qin.

When née Qin saw Jiang Wan's angry face, she immediately became angry. However, she had always been a person with a good face, so she didn't want her sister-in-law and sister-in-law to grab onto her painful legs and say that she couldn't afford to lose, so she could only continue rubbing her cards.

Following that, although Jiang Wan would occasionally set the cannon and set them free, in the end, she didn't earn much. Even Clove, who was sitting to the side and helping to collect the silver, felt that the amount of scattered silver was a little heavy.

"Aiyo, I don't dare to fight with you anymore." After igniting the cannon a few times, Lady Jiang cried out that they wouldn't be able to continue the fight. She waved her hand and looked at Jiang Wan, "Could it really be that the bride's hand is red with anger?"

"My uncle's wife would laugh at me." Jiang Wan covered her mouth and smiled, then looked at Lilac behind her, "After playing this game of cards, I'm truly tired. How about you help me play Lilac?"

Clove was a maid who had left the Jiang Clan. When she saw née Qin, she immediately became apprehensive and repeatedly attacked her.

Jiang Wan looked at Xia Yi, who was on the other side.

Since just now, Xia Yi had been quietly observing the cards on the side the entire time. She also had some understanding towards the cards skills of the people at the table, so she nodded towards Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan smiled as she stood up, giving her seat to Xia Yi. She took the money pouch from Clove's bosom and placed it on Xia Yi's body. She smiled and said, "You don't have to be too nervous. Just release this fight and protect my book."

Xia Yi looked at Jiang Wan with some doubt, thinking to herself, "Is she making me lose money on purpose or is she trying to win it?"

However, Jiang Wan didn't give her a clear answer. Instead, she walked out of the main room of the Jun Yating Hall with Clove.

"Go and get the things I prepared for Mother Su." Jiang Wan instructed softly. Ever since the two of them got closer, she no longer called Zhao Su Niang an aunt.

She lifted the bamboo curtain of the west wing and walked in with her head lowered.

In contrast to the bustling atmosphere outside, this small world of Zhao Su Niang's seemed to be isolated from the outside world.

Seeing Jiang Wan enter, Zhao Siniang was not surprised. Instead, she made a space on the kang next to the window.

Jiang Wan smiled as she sat down on the brick bed. The previously brown paper covered window had been replaced with a light gauze. Although the entire room was still hot, it was at least not as stuffy as before.

Zhao Su Niang personally carried a cup of tea over and said with an apologetic smile, "Cai Qing went out with Brother Sheng. I'm afraid Xiang Rui went to watch the show, and there's no one in the room to help her."

"Why are you telling me this?" Jiang Wan took the tea from her hand. She looked at the embroidery stand Zhao Su Niang placed on the brick bed, and smiled: "What are you embroidering for?"

"A curtain." Zhao Su Niang brought out a small plate of snacks from who knows where and smiled, "I always thought about whether I could make this flower more simple. It would take half a month to embroider a curtain, and it would take too much time."

For some reason, a cross stitch suddenly appeared in Jiang Wan's mind. She smiled and said to Zhao Su Niang, "I do know a type of acupuncture, but I don't know if you'll take a fancy to it."

"Oh? "Let's take a look." Zhao Su Niang took out an embroidered flower and stretched it out for Jiang Wan with great interest.

Jiang Wan accepted it with a smile. She followed the modern era's method of embroidering cross-stitches on the embroidery cloth.

It was because that cloth didn't have a cross grid like the cross-stitch cloth of future generations. The things she embroidered were a bit crooked, and Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged.

"Is that right?" Zhao Su Niang watched from the side, and as if she had comprehended something, she took over the embroidery on Jiang Wan's hands.

With her needlework, it was quickly embroidered into a small leaf.

"This needlework is really fast," Zhao Sanniang held the embroidery strip in front of her eyes and shook it, "But the embroidery is not meticulous enough."

"Actually, I think this embroidery method is quite interesting," Jiang Wan smiled and indicated for Lilac to bring up the gift she specially prepared. It was a box of multicolored silk.

Zhao Su Niang was shocked when she saw it. Beautiful.

"This is …" She looked at Jiang Wan and asked hesitantly.

"This is for you." Jiang Wan smiled as she pushed the box of threads towards Zhao Su Niang, "I was thinking of giving something else to you, so you won't be interested."

Zhao Su Niang took out the threads and examined them carefully, as if they were treasures.

"Actually, the embroidery method that I mentioned, if it is combined with these multi-colored silk threads to create a sense of hierarchy, can actually be very lively." Jiang Wan then described to her the cross-stitch work she had seen in the later generations. She was rather surprised to hear that some people were able to create a large scale work in a single month.

"How about I embroider two small pieces and sell them at Aunt He's place? If the sales are good, I'll try to embroider some larger pieces." Zhao Su Niang thought for a while and said.

"Ai, have you never thought about opening your own store?" Jiang Wan looked at Zhao Su Niang's embroidery and asked curiously, "Selling it yourself should be even more expensive than selling it in someone else's store, right?"
