Chapter 739 The Meng family’s screen is broken!

When Bai Ruozhu heard the eunuch reported that it was a congratulatory gift from Meng Liangsheng, the lord of Beiyu City, she hurriedly looked over. She naturally knew what the screen looked like, but she was curious about what materials the Meng family used to make the shelf. Would it be particularly tall? Up?

As a result, she didn't even have time to pay attention to the shelf, and was frightened by the hole in the screen.

The screen was originally made of thin silk and crocheted with threads to create a pattern with the Chinese character "Shou" on it, and the hole was just above a big Chinese character "Shou". "Shou" is gone. Is this a curse for the Queen Mother to die early? Even if this is not man-made, is it too unlucky?

Li Wanhua's face instantly turned pale, and she couldn't help mumbling, "Someone must be up to something..."

There was indeed a chance for something to be done. The time it took for the items to be sent to the Department of Internal Affairs for inspection and then brought back was long enough to break the screen. Seeing that her work was so maliciously destroyed, Bai Ruozhu's face couldn't help but become cold. The hand holding the plate was squeezed so tightly that the joints bulged.

Jiang Yichun noticed something was wrong and hurriedly said hello to the people around him and walked to Bai Ruozhu.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jiang Yichun said softly. He remembered that she once said that she did not want to help the Meng family make birthday gifts for the Queen Mother, saying that she was afraid that something would go wrong and cause trouble. At that time, Jiang Yichun said the same thing as Mrs. Meng, saying that the palace was not so strict and would behead people if asked, and he also made fun of her for being so timid in this regard.

When something bad happened, he was the first to rush to her because he was worried that she would be scared.

Bai Ruozhu raised her head and smiled at him, saying, "It's okay, someone did it on purpose. If I can get back together, should I stand up?"

Li Wanhua became excited. This matter would definitely affect the reputation of the Meng family. If it could be resolved smoothly, she would naturally be happy.

However, she looked at Bai Ruozhu again, and Bai Ruozhu was standing at the forefront of the storm. Didn't Bai Ruozhu also hate the person who wanted to harm the Meng family? If you can't find trouble with the Meng family, will you put all your efforts on Bai Ruozhu?

So Li Wanhua opened her mouth, but in the end no sound came out. She felt that she was not qualified to ask Bai Ruozhu to stand up. That would be too selfish.

At this time, the emperor who was sitting on the high platform said half-jokingly: "Meng Qing's gift came all the way from Beiyu City. It took a lot of effort, but it unexpectedly broke. It's a pity."

The Queen Mother and the Emperor were both sensible people, so they naturally knew that Meng Liangsheng would not be stupid enough to bring broken things to trouble the Queen Mother. Someone must have tampered with it.

"The Department of Internal Affairs will also check to see what went wrong, but it's a pity that the Meng Mansion is not interested." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

The Li family was greatly relieved when the emperor and the queen mother said this, but even if the emperor and the queen mother did not blame them, the Meng family was still embarrassed enough.

Jiang Yichun smiled and looked at Bai Ruozhu, who looked up at him, and said, "If you want to do it, just do it. Your husband, I will protect you."

Bai Ruozhu laughed, and for a moment her smile was as bright as a summer flower. Even Li Wanhua next to her was stunned.

When she came back to her senses, Li Wanhua felt uncomfortable all over. The couple had such a good relationship, it was an eyesore for her, but it was really inappropriate to walk away so suddenly, and she felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.

But she really envied Bai Ruozhu, especially what Jiang Yichun said, "If you want to do it, just do it, your husband, I will protect you." There was a domineering tone in that tone, and it seemed a bit arrogant, but it was He supports his wife unconditionally. How could such a man not be Bai Ruozhu's lover?

At this time, the person from the Department of Internal Affairs wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "The screen seems to have been bitten by insects and rats, not a sharp knife."

"Oh? Didn't Meng Qing know to use spices to repel insects and rats on the way?" the Queen Mother asked suspiciously.

The person from the Department of Internal Affairs looked very ugly and said, "I seem to smell the spice used to repel rats, but I don't know why this is happening."

Bai Ruozhu curled her lips secretly. If she had the intention, she could have used a mouse to bite the screen intentionally.

Wanting to attack here, she nodded to Jiang Yichun, and then walked straight to the middle of the field. She saluted the emperor and the queen mother, and said: "To the queen mother, the Meng family's birthday screen was made by Ruozhu. Ruozhu is like this now." I feel very distressed, so I would like to ask Her Majesty to allow me to repair the screen and restore it to its original appearance.

"It's broken like this, can it be restored?" This was what the Queen asked.

Bai Ruozhu blessed the queen and said, "If I return to the queen, I can't guarantee that it will be perfect, but please let me give it a try so that the Meng family and I will not have any regrets."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Your thoughts have been received. It would be better if the screen could be restored. Go ahead and try it. If you need anything, just ask the Department of Internal Affairs to provide it."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your permission." Bai Ruozhu thanked Li, and then walked straight to the screen.

She asked the people at the General Affairs Department for silk threads of the same color, and then asked someone to lift the screen down to repair it. However, the masters on the stage became interested and asked her to repair it below. As a result, singing and dancing could not be performed in the middle of the table. , it became her own crochet performance...

This made Bai Ruozhu very uncomfortable. She was not used to performing shows, so being stared at by everyone made her really nervous. Fortunately, the Queen Mother saw her embarrassment and said with a smile: "Too many people can easily affect Mrs. Jiang's attention. The Internal Affairs Secretary can just use a tent to stop her and show her face so that the Ai family can see the excitement."

That means you are not allowed to watch it, but who dares to say that you are not happy?

Although it was still uncomfortable to be stared at by the emperor, queen mother, queen and others, it was better than being watched by so many people.

Bai Ruozhu took a hairpin from her head, and underneath it was the shape of a crochet hook. She originally thought of it suddenly when she was making it, but she didn't expect it to be used today.

The Secretary of Internal Affairs had already loosened the silk thread, so Bai Ruozhu ordered her to help her twist the four strands of thread together, and then began to patch it up.

Fortunately, the silk in the middle only had small holes. What surprised everyone was that the crochet thread was broken and spread out, making it look like a big hole.

Bai Ruozhu first carefully sewed up the holes in the silk with extremely fine thread, then replaced the thick thread with the broken thread and reconnected it bit by bit, and then slowly re-crocheted according to the previous hooking method. . Her jade fingers were seen flying, and not long after, the word "longevity" appeared again, and it just blocked the hole in the silk, as if it had never been broken before.

When the queen saw Bai Ruozhu hooking the thread with the thin silk, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "This Mrs. Jiang is really good at her craftsmanship. It's really rare that such a thin silk will not break."

The Queen Mother laughed beside her and said with some emotion: "It's rare for a broken mirror to be reunited. The Ai family likes it very much."
