"Taking a needle to test the trick, a copper coin and an embroidering needle, each woman only has one chance to verify whether her skills are clever or clumsy. If it is a clever girl, the daughter who is waiting to marry in the boudoir next year will definitely find a good family, while a married woman will have a happy family, and a fat boy will be added!" The vendor at this stall is soliciting business.

"The smart little vendor actually knows how to use the tradition of needle feeding to test and do business. Although it only takes one copper plate to throw a needle once, the copper basin, well water, and knitting needles are all costless, and this is a huge profit without capital." Da Yuer has the most contact with the merchant class and has some understanding of the business methods of vendors.

Because Chu Yun implemented mercantilism in the early days, the merchant class developed rapidly. These merchants not only included international merchants who traded with Japan and Goryeo, but also small and medium-sized vendors in the market and rural areas, and these people were the majority.

"Today we are looking for a good fortune. Everyone is happy to pay a copper coin for a good fortune. Do we want to try it together?" Xiao Xiu'er also understood that this is a small trick of the vendor, but the most important thing is to seek a good fortune.

A few women surrounded him. Seeing that they were dressed in extraordinary clothes, the vendors quickly said, "Girls, this water is mandarin duck water, which is very effective. If you put the embroidery needle into a copper basin, if the shadow of the needle at the bottom of the water is in various shapes, you can think that it is a success in begging for skills, and your marriage will be happy in the next year. On the contrary, if the shadow is as thick as a hammer, as thin as silk, and as straight as a shaft of wax, then begging for skills will fail."

"Mandarin duck water? What is that?" Princess Sophia was puzzled.

"Mandarin duck water is the water taken during the day and the water taken at night. After the sun is sunny during the day, the water surface will form a water film. The embroidery needle is originally light and will hang on the water surface. Because the water film is an impurity, it will affect the shadow shape of the embroidery needle at the bottom of the water and has nothing to do with its true fortune." Da Yuer explained.

Although Da Yu'er said this, she was a little nervous. Whether it was effective or not, as Xiao Xiu'er said, she wanted a good start.

"I'll do it first?" Ella was holding an embroidery needle in her hand, and she was hesitant when she threw the embroidery needle into the copper basin.

"I hope the army leader and Ling'er are healthy." Ella completely regarded the needle test as a blessing, although this is indeed true.

The slender embroidery needle fell into the copper basin and was blocked by the water membrane to hang on the water surface.

"It's the shape of a cloud!" Da Yu'er said, pointing to the shadow at the bottom of the water.

"As long as it is not straight, it is just that Qi Qiao succeeds." Xiao Xiu'er knew that because there are impurities on the water surface, the probability of Qi Qiao succeeding is still relatively high. It is completely a kind of self-comfort for people, but she is also happy for Ella.

"I want it too, I want it too!" Princess Sophia was confused and didn't understand the rules of "sucking needles and testing skills". However, after seeing Ella try it, she was so playful that she was very interested and wanted to try her luck.

"Let the princess come first." Several women asked Princess Sophia, the guest, to be the second person to throw the needle.

The onlookers saw that it was the British prince who tested their luck, and they whispered to each other in private.

"It turned out to be a princess from the West. What's the name of her country?"

"I don't know if the needle tests in our East have any effect on the people in their country."

Princess Sophia held an embroidery needle and threw it into the copper basin under the gaze of everyone.

The embroidery needle floated on the water surface, and a thin and straight shadow was placed on the bottom of the copper basin.

"What a pity, it's a straight shadow. It seems that people in the West are not very lucky."

"Are you really not lucky or is this method not applicable to the people on their side?"

Princess Sophia showed regret when she saw everyone around her, and she felt a little depressed. She could feel that she had failed.

"Sister, don't be afraid. Da Yu'er said what happened, it has nothing to do with luck." Ella held Princess Sophia's hand to comfort her.

"Yes, maybe there will be different shadows when you throw the needle in different places. For example, if I throw this silver needle to the position you just now, there will be the same shadow." In order to comfort Princess Sophia, Da Yuer threw the embroidery needle at the place where Princess Sophia was thrown, hoping to prove that her speculation was correct.

"...Congratulations, the shadow you threw seems to be in the shape of scissors, and it is also a success in begging for skill." said the vendor.

Da Yu'er stood there, she just threw it away and landed at the position where Princess Sophia had just thrown the embroidery needle. According to Da Yu'er's speculation, the impurities on the water surface there should be similar. How could the embroidery needle she cast was projected into the shape of scissors, while the princess was in a thin and straight shape.

"Scammer, why are you just targeting me? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Ella, Da Yu'er, Xiao Xiu'er and others looked at each other with helpless expressions. This princess dared to love and hate, and sometimes she did not hide her mood at all.

"My embroidery needle is also a straight shadow." Xiao Xiu'er, the fourth embroidery needle, said.

"Min is in the shape of birds and beasts!" said Goya.

"The shadow is as thick as a hammer... It seems that I'm better off focusing on my studies." Liu Rushi threw the last time and found that the result was not ideal.

After six people took turns to throw the needle, the success and failure of Qiqiao turned out to be three to three, five to five.

"It seems like a coincidence?" Princess Sophia was not so discouraged after observing her companions and other women around her.

"If luck really depends on this small embroidery needle, it is better to rely on your own hands to grasp happiness." Da Yuer said.

"You are right. God will protect us. The embroidery needle is not as useful as Lord God." Princess Sophia cheered up completely.

Hey hey hey, what I want to express is not that at all, right? Da Yuer thought to herself.

"Sister Liu, after the Qiqiao Festival and Double Ninth Festival, the next is the Academy of Sciences admission assessment in October. Do you have the confidence to pass the assessment?" Ella asked Liu Rushi, who had always been unknown.

Since Liu Rushi met Chu Yun, Ella, and Xiao Xiuer, her life has undergone tremendous changes. In the past year, she has been studying for a new school in a low-key manner in order to prepare for the fourth entrance examination of the Academy of Sciences.

"I have some confidence, but the admission assessment of the Academy of Sciences has only been conducted three times. The changes are very big every year. I can't guess what type of question will come out this year." Liu Rushi was a little worried that she could not enter the Academy of Sciences, and she had abandoned everything in the past to pursue knowledge.
