The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Chapter 179: Palace Dress Submission Competition 2

"So you are not here to compete in the bidding for the palace dress, but to compete for the official rank?" Liu Yu asked bluntly.

The slightly plump shopkeeper was about to admit it, but fortunately, he was stopped by the other shopkeepers behind him.

Only then did he realize that if he replied to this sentence, he would lose the qualification to participate in the bidding for the palace dress.

Because they know that this can only be done in secret and not put on the table openly. Besides, if it really comes to comparing who is more powerful, no one can compare to the world's number one weaving workshop and those leading ones.

"In other words, we are still competing in the weaving skills." Liu Yu slapped the handkerchief in his hand on the table in front of them.

"If you have the courage, then let's have a competition. If not, please call the people back."

Several shopkeepers hesitated. They were looking for trouble with Yuzhentang just to please the leading weaving workshops.

Liu Yu saw what they were thinking and pointed it out:

"Don't let others use you as a tool, or you will lose the qualification to compete."

As long as they can get the top few places in this competition, it will be enough fame for small weaving workshops like these, and they can dominate a place.

But human hearts are never satisfied. No matter how much they get, they will only want more.

Several people looked at Liu Yu again, not believing that Liu Yu had such great ability, but when they thought of what Liu Yu had just said, they hesitated again.

After discussing it, they decided that compared to Liu Yu, they felt that the number one party in the world was more reliable.

"Oh, who do you think you are? How dare you threaten us? If you want to blame someone, blame your Jade Needle Hall for being ignorant and blocking other people's way."

"So you want to solve the problem by force, rather than by skills?" Liu Yu suddenly looked at her with a smile.

You're bullying them because they have fewer people, right?

Liu Yu returned to the team of Yuzhentang. After a while, a dozen women dressed up in fancy clothes and wearing makeup walked in, twisting their waists.

Seeing this, Liu Yu pulled back the people from Yuzhen Hall and handed the battlefield directly to the dozen or so gorgeous girls.

Yuzhentang, which was at a disadvantage just now, directly crushed those people sent by the weaving workshops to make trouble. They were so scared that they didn't even dare to stretch their necks. In the end, they even said that giving birth to a child does not have an anus.

Liu Yu was satisfied. No one could compare to the girls in the brothel in quarreling.

Seeing that things were developing in an incomprehensible and bizarre direction, Tianxia Diyifang's original intention of sitting on the sidelines and watching the fight between the two tigers was gone, and Manager Tong hurried out to smooth things over.

"Hey, hey, guys, what's going on? Why are you suddenly arguing when you have something to say?"

When he saw Liu Yu, he deliberately said, "So you are the owner of Yuzhen Hall! I was too busy to look after it."

In recent days, Shopkeeper Tong has been to Yuzhentang quite often, but no matter whether she tried softly, hard, or both, Liu Yu just wouldn't give in. Originally, she wanted to teach them a lesson this time.

But unexpectedly, he had hidden a trick on her, and the weaving workshops that stood up for them suffered the consequences.

She had no choice but to come out and smooth things over, otherwise the boss would see it. On such an important day, if such a mistake happened, she would not be able to finish the meal and would have to bear the consequences.

Liu Yu naturally knew why Manager Tong had called these people here.

It's simply that she was not given face before, and she wants to get it back!

Even you have a temper, let alone her!

She had refused at that time. It was she who went to Yuzhen Hall again and again, and she should have known the outcome.

Therefore, Liu Yu's attitude would naturally not be good:

"Then I'm really sorry to trouble Shopkeeper Tong. Since you are busy, then go ahead and do your work first! I will naturally take care of this."

Shopkeeper Tong was a little embarrassed. He looked into the eyes of the weaving workshops that had asked him for help, and finally coughed dryly:

"Hehe... It's okay. Let's put the other things aside for now. Tell your sister what misunderstandings you have with these sisters?"

Since Manager Tong had given Liu Yue a way out, and Liu Yue wasn't the type to be unreasonable, he told him the whole story calmly.

She gave three choices, either continue,

The next option is to apologize or take over the competition, leaving it to the weaving workshops to choose.

It was impossible to continue. This was not a vegetable market, but a bidding for palace clothing. If someone from the palace came and saw this scene, Tong would have no way to explain himself.

The weaving workshops were even more unwilling to apologize, which meant that they were just looking for trouble! Wasn't this smearing their reputation?

There will be no more palace dress submission competitions in the future. Should they participate in them anymore? They can’t afford to lose face!

Then the only thing left is to take over the game.

All weaving workshops want to know in advance what other people’s bottom line is.

Moreover, Yuzhentang, a newly emerged embroidery workshop, had long been known outside the capital. They had all heard of it in Jiangsu area. Even those who had never heard of it would know it by the time they came to the capital.

They had seen the double-sleeved dresses with lifelike embroidered patterns on both sides worn by the ladies of noble families in the capital, but they had never quite believed that such elaborate, complex and beautiful craftsmanship could be produced in a small shop like Yuzhentang.

It would be more convincing if we say it is the best shop in the world.

But when they came to Tianxia Diyifang and took a look around, they indeed did not see any double-sided embroidery there.

Some people can't wait to see the double-sided embroidery of Yuzhentang.

Then someone started to make a fuss: "You are already a master craftsman with decades of experience, are you still afraid that Yuzhentang will not be successful..."

Several quarreling embroiderers were carried up by the crowd and forced to agree.

"In that case, don't say that the Jade Needle Hall bullied you. I will send a master of the same level as you, and we will compete in acupuncture."

The number one embroiderer in the world was also very fast. He prepared everything he needed in a short while. He could embroider a handkerchief in one stick of incense.

Although these weaving workshops ranked last in this competition, it must be said that they were carefully selected from the entire Jin Dynasty.

The technology is much more mature and stable than that of other ordinary embroidery workshops, but compared with Yuzhentang, the embroiderers specially trained by Liu Yu are still slightly inferior, whether it is the speed needlework or the unique embroidery method of double-sided embroidery.

Everyone was speechless.

Even though the embroiderers were unwilling to give in, they had to admit defeat in order not to bring shame to their own embroidery workshops.

"we lose."

Liu Yu looked at the weaving workshops that were clamoring just now. Now they lowered their heads like quails, not daring to make a sound. She knew that the deterrent effect had been achieved.

He didn't intend to pursue the matter, so he gave them a few verbal warnings and let them go.

This scene fell into the eyes of a figure squatting in the corner...
