It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 457 Invite to be an embroidery lady
Mama Liu asked the middleman to find Mr. and Mrs. Xiu, but before they could find them, they first received a wedding invitation from Su Chenkun.

"Sister Rui, tomorrow is Yongjun's Hundred Days, don't forget to come and participate."

Su Rui was surprised, "Ah, the name has been chosen? And it will be a hundred days so soon? The world passes so fast, I always feel that Sister-in-law He just gave birth yesterday..."

Su Chenkun laughed that his grandfather and/father had seen countless names in the past two or three months, and this morning it was decided.

"Come on, my father and grandpa have been thinking about it for a long time and haven't decided which one it is. I just said something casually this morning. The second brother has joined the army, so let's just call his son Yongjun."

"I didn't expect my father and my grandfather to actually use this name."

Su Rui also smiled, "Yongjun is very good, very appropriate, when he grows up, he can tell him that his father has gone to defend his family and country."

Su Chenkun nodded, "That's what I thought, that's why I proposed it!"

Su Chenkun left, Su Rui asked Xi Yu, "Xi Yu, do you still have the whole bag of our brown sugar?"

Xi Yu is now in charge of the storeroom in Su's residence, and hurriedly said, "Miss, the whole package is gone, Miss San opened the last package of brown sugar yesterday."

Su Rui raised her head and looked at the sun, "It's just after [-]:[-] a.m., and I'm going to the county town. The market is still lively!"

"Xiyu, tell Su Zhong to go to Xi'er to get some money and go to the county town to buy ten packs of brown sugar and come back. Well, let's buy a piece of red cloth. The eldest son of Aunt Hua's family is going to get married in a while, and Buy more peanut candy and longan."

Xi Yu nodded, "Hey, this servant has remembered, what else does Missy need to buy?"

Su Rui thought for a while and said, "By the way, I'm buying a two tael silver lock..."

"Hey, forget it, I'll go too, there are a lot of things to buy here, and I want to pick out a lot of things."

Xi Yu is used to the character of the young lady who sometimes thinks about it, "Yes."

Speaking of which, Su Rui turned around and walked to the backyard. She was going to change clothes, and asked as she walked, "Where did Yinger and the others go after breakfast?"

Xi Yu followed behind, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss went to Miss Ya'er's house, Second Miss went to Sanwei Processing Workshop, as for Young Miss, Miss Lijun came to look for her, so she went out, I don't know what Third Miss is doing went."

Su Rui paused, "Is Li Jun here?"

Xi Yu thought for a while and said, "Yes, but I didn't go into the yard, I just let Su Zhong in and told the young lady to go out."

"Miss, don't worry, with Liu Si and Su Ji following, everything will be fine!"

"Ah."

Su Rui felt relieved when she thought that someone would follow her. Although Su Wan loves to play, she is also very obedient. She would never run around to unfamiliar places. As for Lin Lijun, she felt relieved. She has become stable since the death of Mr. Lin a lot of.

"You ask Xiaotao to ask the second and third misses to see if they will go to the county."

Xi Yu nodded, "I will tell Xiaotao right now, servant girl."

In the end, I asked the two of them, but neither of them wanted to go, but Mrs. Wang knew that Su Rui was going to the county town to buy a hundred-day gift for the patriarch's grandson, so she came with her.

In the silver jewelry shop in the county seat, Su Rui looked at the dozen or so silver locks in front of her. She had difficulty choosing, and she really didn't know how to choose. Wang took a look and said casually, "Girl Rui, just choose the lock that is looking forward to the gospel." , which one has a better meaning."

"Looking forward to the gospel? Which one?"

Su Rui looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out which one was the pattern of looking forward to the gospel.

The waiter hurriedly took out a silver lock engraved with the child looking into the distance, "This is it, this is the Gospel of Longing for."

"what?"

Su Rui is a little confused, forgive her for poking her eyes, she really can't see why having a child is just looking forward to the gospel?
The waiter smiled and explained, "Miss, look, the boy above is looking up at the flying bats, that is, eagerly looking forward to, eagerly looking forward to. And the blessings of "Looking forward to the Gospel" and "Blessings come from heaven" and bats The pronunciation of bat is the same, so this style has a good meaning, and it means receiving good news. "

"..."

Bat, well, she is really blind, there is a bat on the upper left of the house, she didn't see it.

"That's it."

Su Rui thought to herself, isn't the patriarch's family looking forward to good news from Brother Chen Liang?The meaning of this silver lock is just right, it is better than any good luck and longevity...

Xi'er paid the money, Su Rui took the box that Xiao Er had packed, and walked out of the jewelry building.

Seeing Su Rui handing the box to Xi'er who was following her, Wang said "tsk tsk" twice, "This two and a half silver lock will add [-]% to the fire consumption? Isn't it too expensive?"

Su Rui looked at the things sold in the market, and while checking if there was anything unusual, she talked to Mrs. Wang.

"Uncle, that's not the way to calculate it. Have you seen the jewelry carvings in other shops? They are all masters who have practiced for decades, and ordinary people can't do it! And I think jewelry is valuable in the carving and style. , not weight."

Mrs. Wang thought for a while and felt that what Su Rui said was polite, so she smiled, "You're right, this silver weighs the same as jewelry, and no one puts silver ingots on their heads directly."

Su Rui was amused when she heard the words, "Haha, Auntie, you are right."

Walking and walking, I came across a stall, Su Rui walked over and looked down at the purses on the shelves.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang followed, and looked at the stall where a woman and an eleven or twelve-year-old girl were selling embroidered handkerchiefs and purses.

Wang thought that handkerchiefs and purses could be made at home, so there was nothing interesting about them, but she picked up the handkerchief and looked at it, and found that although it was ordinary white muslin and ordinary embroidery threads, the landscapes, flowers and birds embroidered on the handkerchief were But it is very realistic and agile.

"Oh, this embroidery is really good, did you embroider it yourself?"

The young woman nodded generously, "The little woman embroidered with her daughter."

Su Rui chose a few handkerchiefs and purses with good meanings, "How much?"

The young woman's eyes brightened slightly, and the girl beside her also showed joy on her face.

"Thirty Wen for the handkerchief, and 35 Wen for the purse."

Frightened, Wang quickly put the handkerchief back, "It's so expensive? Isn't the embroidery village only worth ten yuan?"

When the young woman heard this, the light in her eyes disappeared, but she still said with a smile on her face, "Although this is not a handkerchief from the embroidery village, it was embroidered by my daughter and I day and night. You can match the pattern on it with any I won’t say anything else about the place, but at least in Qinghe Prefecture, you won’t find a pattern better than what I embroider.”

Su Rui believed her words. The handkerchief is embroidered on both sides, but the same position on both sides can show different patterns and colors, which shows its skills. There is also a purse. Su Rui opened it to look at it while she was talking to Mrs. Wang By the way, the stitches in the purse are also extremely delicate, comparable to modern machines.

Seeing her hospitality attitude, neither arrogant nor impatient, Su Rui expressed that she liked it very much, and handed the selected purse and handkerchief to the woman!

"I want these."

The young woman took the handkerchief Su Rui handed over, but she hadn't realized it at the time, and then she was pleasantly surprised, "Huh? Oh, me, I'll wrap it up for you right now."

Su Rui nodded, "How much?"

The young girl beside her said softly, "Miss, five handkerchiefs, 150 Wen, five pouches, 170 Wen, a total of 320 Wen."

Su Rui looked over and saw the little girl smiling softly at her, Su Rui's girlish heart...

Ah, I can't bear it, how can such a delicate girl bear it.

"You're good at math..."

The little girl had a look of admiration on her face, "My little uncle taught me well."

Xi'er paid the money, Su Rui thought for a while and asked, "How about your other sewing?"

The young woman was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "As long as it is related to needlework, clothes, furs, I know all of these, but the best thing is embroidery."

Su Rui nodded, "My family would like to invite an embroiderer to make some clothes for me at home, or something, would you like to come? One tael of silver a month, four days off every month, food and housing included, and there are also rituals during festivals !"

The young woman was really confused this time, "Huh?"
