Chapter 84 Yan Hongxiu

When Yan Hongxiu saw the flower on the embroidery board of the teacher’s desk, she smiled at once. She immediately reached for the embroidery board and wanted to run away. She proudly said in her heart, “You wanted to cheat me. It is obviously a real flower glued on the board! Now it is the time for osmanthus flowers to burst into bloom.”

She stepped forward easily and stretched out her hand across the surface of the embroidery board. But she caught nothing.

“Nothing?”

Yan Hongxiu was dumbfounded and she wiped the surface of the embroidery board because she couldn’t believe that. There was a little bulge. The osmanthus flower…was embroidered!

“It’s like a real osmanthus flower…”

Yan Hongxiu murmured to herself. She looked back and saw Su Li was looking at her embroidery board. She was immediately annoyed. She turned back, grabbed the embroidery board and said with a tearful tone, “You are not supposed to see it!”

Su Li still looked calm without any softness on her face. She stood near Yan Hongxiu and said in a low voice, “Can’t you stand being surpassed by your peers? Do you feel that you fail? You think you are the best in the world. Even if you are not No.1 and you will be said to be No.1. Is that enough for you?”

Su Li’s words were like a cold knife plunged in her chest. Yan Hongxiu’s eyes reddened and she was so angry that her whole body trembled slightly.

Su Li went too far!

“What? Can’t accept that I tell the truth?”

Su Li smiled and whispered, “No one is perfect in the world. Everyone will fail in something. If you can’t bear failure, how can you live?”

Yan Hongxiu stared at Su Li as if her world was broken by Su Li. She held back her tears and said, “Su Li, don’t be proud of your embroidery skills. In the future, I will become a female general. The embroidery is not important.”

Su Li laughed even more badly, “You cannot even embroider well. How could you dream to be a female general? Do you think that you are better than anyone else just because you know some martial arts? Some people only say what you like to hear. But those words are like poison. You are poisoned to die, but you still feel good about yourself. You are really incorrigible!”

“…You!”

Yan Hongxiu was speechless. She found that she even couldn’t compete with Su Li in eloquence. Her frustration intensified.

In this moment, Su Li came to Yan Hongxiu and pointed at her chest, “When you cultivate here well, no matter what you want to do, you can do better than now.”

Su Li’s words were not sarcasm. It was like a breeze blowing through the heart of Yan Hongxiu. She vaguely remembered that her father also said that. But at that time, she was too young to understand the meaning.

Today, because of Su Li’s stimulation, she seemed to understand…

“This Lecturer…Lecturer Su…”

Yan Hongxiu hummed twice and sat down again. She looked at her own embroidery board and finally put it frankly and righteously on the table with courage.

“I would not escape again!”

Yan Hongxiu was full of will to fight as if she was another person.

After a while, the incense was burned out in the incense burner. Half an hour passed.

Su Li clapped her hands to indicate the crowd to stop. Gong Min put down the needle and threads. There was a surge of pity flickered in her eyes. She didn’t embroider the last branch of the tree. However, after Su Li taught her, she embroidered flowers with the basic stitch today. She got a lot of inspirations which were enough for her to improve her embroidery skills.

Ran Zidan and Dong Xiaoyuan didn’t complete their embroidery, either. There were a half branch and two leaves for them to finish. And their embroidery skills were much worse than Gong Min.

At the same time, Jin Ruolan put down the needle and threads, but her eyes were full of confidence. She was the first one to hand in the embroidery board because she was the only one that finished the embroidery!

“I didn’t expect that even Gong Min didn’t finish the embroidery! Does it mean that I have surpassed her in embroidery skills and become No.1 in this class?”

Jin Ruolan was complacent, but when she rose her head, she saw a pair of cold eyes, “Do you feel that you are wonderful after you finished the embroidery?”

Su Li’s words as cold water poured over her head, which made Jin Ruolan suddenly wake up. She quickly shook her head, and then she saw the flowers on the embroidery board on the teacher’s desk.

“Is it real?”

She couldn’t help but grab it, but she grabbed nothing just like Yan Hongxiu.

“It’s embroidered!”

Jin Ruolan was surprised and decided that she would never compare herself with Su Li. There was a big gap between them…

At this time, the remaining four people also handed in their embroidery boards and waited for Su Li’s comments.

Su Li picked up Ran Zidan’s embroidery board first and glanced at it. She said, “The basic skills are great, but the stitches are still weak. You should pay more attention to the details. As for your speed, you haven’t reached the standard of the top embroidery artificer. The pattern was rigid and lack of authenticity. You’d better appreciate flowers on your spare time…”

Every word Su Li said went straight to the heart of the matter. Ran Zidan felt ashamed and couldn’t help but admire Su Li with the feeling of admiration only existing between teacher and student.

After that, Dong Xiaoxuan was still criticized seriously.

Yan Hongxiu was the third one. She stood in front of Su Li with courage, but she was ready to be criticized. Su Li glanced at her and said lightly, “There is still room for you to improve your embroidery skills. After class, take Gong Min’s embroidery board back to practice.”

Yan Hongxiu waited for a long time, but only saw Su Li picked up Gong Min’s embroidery board. She was suddenly stunned.

That’s all?

Was she going to criticize her?

Holding her own embroidery board and standing aside, Yan Hongxiu was puzzled. Since she came to the special class, it’s the first time for her to be so excited.

When Su Li saw Gong Min’s embroidery board, she finally smiled, “Very good. Your embroidery skills are getting better and better. If you can follow the directions that I gave you to reach a higher realm, it will be the best.”

Gong Min took a deep breath and couldn’t help but say excitedly, “Thank you. I have been stuck in this level for a long time. Grandma also has nothing to do with it. I must tell this good news to her!”

Su Li smiled and nodded. Gong Min did not take her embroidery board and stood on one side.

Jin Ruolan took a deep breath and finally it’s her turn. Gong Min was praised even though she didn’t finish the embroidery, and Jin Ruolan had finished, then…

At this time, the five people did not realize that they cared about Su Li’s comments so much. Just after one lesson, the relationship between Su Li and them amazingly changed from peers to teachers and students.

Su Li picked up Jin Ruolan’s embroidery board slowly, “Speed is acceptable and the stitches is smooth. You are close to a top embroiderer artificer.”

Hearing this, Jin Ruolan was delighted at once, then Su Li’s voice suddenly cool down, “But you paid much attention to show your skills and completely ignored the essentials of the embroidery. Let me ask you, what’s the supreme realm as an embroiderer?”

Jin Ruolan didn’t expect Su Li would ask her that, but she answered her without hesitation, “Get the top embroidery skills like the workshop owner! Advanced needle skills! I heard that you know the Dahan flower needling skill. Why don’t you teach us?”

“Oh?” Su Li was a little sarcastic, “Do you think status is the most important thing for an embroiderer? As an embroiderer, do you just want to have fame and fortune?”

“Of course not!”

Jin Ruolan was serious. At this moment, she was relieved from scare. Although she did not understand why she was so afraid, it did not stop her retort confidently, “The embroidery methods of the embroidery workshop owner are the best and every embroiderer wants to acquire these methods. Is there anything wrong with what I said?”

“If you put aside the embroidery workshop, what else can you say?” Su Li said lightly.

Jin Ruolan was puzzled. In addition to those skills that she had learned and the embroidery workshop, she had nothing to say. But Su Li got her on these two things.

“It seems that you have no potential to be a top embroiderer artificer.” Su Li was disappointed and shook her head slightly, “Today’s class is over. Goodbye.”

“Wait!”

Jin Ruolan was furious and her face contorted a little bit. She sneered, “You are not the embroidery workshop owner. How could you say that I will not become a top embroider artificer? I’m telling you that I have already received the exam application of the embroidery workshop. When the workshop owner arrives at the embroidery workshop tomorrow, I can get the embroidery of the top embroiderer artificer. I want to know what will you say next class!”

Then, Jin Ruolan left with anger, leaving the four girls looking at each other with different expressions.

Su Li sat by the teacher’s desk and held up one cheek. After a moment, she suddenly asked, “Gong Min, there is no other people know the things about your grandmother, right?”

Gong Min couldn’t help but smile, “Yes. Except for my grandmother, only Sister Qing Ru and I know it.”

“Oh, no wonder…”

Su Li said meaningfully. Yan Hongxiu was curious, so she could not help but pull Gong Min’s sleeve and whispered, “No wonder what?”

Gong Min looked at Su Li and Su Li did not stop her. Therefore, she immediately smiled and said, “Grandma gave the position of the embroidery workshop owner to Su Li, too. So Jin Ruolan…”

Yan Hongxiu was shocked and immediately giggled slightly when she thought of what Jin Ruolan said. Ran Zidan and Dong Xiaoxuan also changed their expressions and felt that Jin Ruolan seemed to be too unlucky.

The four people left and Su Li was in a daze in the empty school for a while. Then she sat on the carriage of Xiaowu and headed for the yard of Ning Yunzhi.

Seeing that Su Li came here without changing her clothes, Ning Yunzhi was satisfied with that. Su Li had high position at such a young age, but she treated those old guys still like before.

This time Su Li and Ning Yunzhi had a tacit mutual understanding and they didn’t mention Qi Xianqing. Time went by when they chatted with each other and they also finished the tea made by Ning Qing.

“Aunt Ning, you made the tea taste so great. It’s getting late. I will visit you next time!”

Su Li said goodbye and left. Ning Qing felt warm and she couldn’t help but say, “She is so sweet. I am a little embarrassed by her compliments. Alas, if Su Li were my daughter, it would be nice.”

Ning Yunzhi couldn’t help humming, “Then why did you refuse the marriage?”

Ning Yunzhi regretted after he said that. Ning Qing turned away with a cold face and left without saying anything.

“There is no tea left in the teapot, Qing…”

Looking at his daughter who left without turning back, Ning Yunzhi couldn’t help but give himself a slap, “Why would I say that?”

…

When Su Li went back to her courtyard, it was dark.

“Miss, are you going out tonight?”

After experiencing the last incident, Mammy Li knew many secrets of Su Li.

Su Li nodded slightly, “If someone asked, you could tell them that I went to the town to check the embroidery workshop.”

“I understand. Miss, please rest assured.”

After said goodbye to Mammy Li, Su Li put on her casual clothes and left from the gate of the school above board. She went to the embroidery workshop of the Qinghe Town and ordered a room. Then she jumped out from the rear window of the room and disappeared in the dark.

At this moment, next to the busy street, a building with only half story was under rapid construction. The building materials used were the best among all restaurants. This scene lasted for whole seven days, which attracted much discussion.

Su Huanli was among them.

“I didn’t expect that it was really demolished and rebuilt!”

Su Huanli was sad about that. Although he traded the two shops in for the Baiwei Building rising, he still felt that he lost too much. When Su Li lived well in Qinghe Town, it would be better to open a branch of the Baiwei Building!

Unfortunately, the other three shops were compensated for the Yang Family. The Su Family had no land in Qinghe Town.

While he was sighing, he didn’t find that Su Li passed quickly in the crowd and went to the site.
