Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

"Then give it a try. Try it while you are still young. Did you see that box? It is full of books that I and my girl picked out for you last night."

"Book?"

Shopkeeper Hu nodded, "My girl is not sure that you are willing to let your husband try it while you are young, but considering that you have two younger brothers and the books are all good, it is most suitable for you.

She asked me to convey, "I regret teaching my husband to seek the title of Marquis", saying that although you are young, you little girl will definitely understand what she means, and you will definitely not forget to train your brother. "

Got it.

Mrs. Qian was using her personal experience to remind her that her natal brothers are more reliable than her bed partner! Zhou Banxia was really moved at this moment, "Madam, I..."

"There's no need to thank you!" Shopkeeper Hu interrupted quickly, "My girl knew you heard it and wanted to thank you in person. She said it, and she saw very early on that you, a little girl, were afraid of getting involved in the dispute.

Besides, with that confused old lady in her house, the inner house of Qian Mansion is not as clean as Gao Mansion.

My girl doesn't see you. Even if you have a good relationship with me and have no friendship with her, she doesn't want anyone to see it.

Unless you offend someone you can't afford to offend one day, and Mrs. Gao is not here, no one will seek justice for you, and she has the ability to help you, then she will not stop you from going to Qian Mansion to see her. "

Zhou Banxia smiled bitterly.

This is still implying that she did not accept the olive branch offered to her before because she was unwilling to invest under the name of Ruyifang, so she simply had nothing to do with the Qian Mansion.

"Also, don't forget to be filial to Mrs. Gao. My girl may need your help delivering messages in front of Mrs. Gao one day. Just remember this friendship."

What he said... Zhou Banxia didn't know how to react.

What kind of character is she? She can still speak in front of Mrs. Gao.

Shopkeeper Hu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and picked up the tea cup, "Besides, my girl also said that when your brother becomes a scholar, she can help you recommend a good college.

The Zhao family can do it, and so can your Zhou family. It all depends on your brother's qualifications. Don't worry about being unfavorable. "

Is Mrs. Qian serious this time?

How dare you even say such words!
What is there about Zhou Banxia that makes people plot?
It's nothing more than a good embroidery skill, and a good relationship with Mrs. Gao that is not worth mentioning. Now that everything has come to this point, it would be too pretentious for her to hesitate any longer.

"Okay!" Zhou Banxia looked at Shopkeeper Hu seriously, "I won't say any polite words like 'It's disrespectful to give up, I'm ashamed to accept it.'

If you can use me one day, as long as my life is not endangered, please help me convey to Madam that I, Zhou Banxia, ​​dare not be ungrateful, and I don’t even bother to be ungrateful! "

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Hu put down the tea cup, "I will definitely convey this. Now that I am your aunt, I will tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart. She is not worried about the present, but the future.

It is often said that flowers bloom forever, and I hope to have more good relationships. One day, she will be gone and unable to protect the young master, so you can help her for her sake. "

Zhou Banxia knew that the young master mentioned by shopkeeper Hu was Mrs. Qian's direct grandson.

This Mrs. Qian really dares to cast a net everywhere for her children and grandchildren at any time and make good friends.

This long-term plan for children and grandchildren is more terrifying than the scheming old lady Gao. Mrs. Qian's direct grandson is truly blessed to have such a grandmother.

"Drink tea."

Have a drink.

She seriously doubted that this kind of thing must be instigated by good Aunt Mei. Otherwise, she, a maid who had just left the slave country and returned to the village, could she still become a fish in Mrs. Qian's net?
"Give me a bag or two to take away!" Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh after saying this. As if it was a joke, there was actually a time when Mrs. Qian asked her to return the favor.

If she wanted to tell her, no one would dare to believe her, and they would laugh at her for being crazy about gains and losses. No, there will still be people who believe what she says, and Xuanzi must believe it.

"Xiaohong, pack three kilograms of good tea for Mrs. Gu Liu." Shopkeeper Hu shouted, squinting at Zhou Banxia teasingly, leaving a word of "wait", then stood up and went to the west room.

Zhou Banxia smiled and shook his head, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the two cages. He wanted to stand up and open them to see what books were inside, but he thought about it and let it go. It's hers, she can't run away, there's no rush.

On the contrary, what did Aunt Mei bring out when she ran to the West Room?
Shopkeeper Hu took out a tightly wrapped piece of cloth with a bundle on it.

Zhou Banxia supports the forehead.

It's the base fabric and embroidery thread.

Although they were all wrapped in furoshiki, and even the piece of cloth was tightly wrapped in a layer of cotton, she still had no idea what she was doing.

"No, just sit back and relax, I'll be ready soon." Shopkeeper Hu turned sideways and blocked Zhou Banxia with his arm, who came forward to help him.

Zhou Banxia had no choice but to give up.

convinced her.

Shopkeeper Hu put the things he was holding on the table and quickly ran to the west room.

This time the speed was faster than before, and he came out with a set of embroidery tools in both hands.

Zhou Banxia was even more speechless when she saw this. She could even remember clearly that she had not brought all the things she needed to eat when she returned to her hometown!
"What do you want to embroider this time?"

"I just wanted to talk to you about this." Shopkeeper Hu moved closer to the chair and sat directly next to Zhou Banxia. "The birthday greeting picture is for the sixtieth birthday next September. It is not for sale."

gift?

Old rules.

Even if it wasn't for sale, Zhou Banxia didn't ask who to give it to.

But if it was to be delivered before September next year, she thought about it and asked, "How big will it be?"

"Wait a moment." Shopkeeper Hu stood up and fell back to his original position, reached for the top of the table and took out a contract in triplicate and handed it to Zhou Banxia, ​​"All the requirements are here."

Zhou Banxia took it and looked at it carefully.

This contract is different from the previous one. There is no signature or fingerprint yet, which means that Aunt Mei is not sure that she will take the job.

However, the above requirements are not difficult.

No matter how skilled you are with your skills, you are still [-]% sure that you can complete it if you have instinctive skills.

Just this size?
It’s another big piece of embroidery work.

"Xia, my aunt has done the calculations for you. It took you almost two years to embroider the picture of green mountains and flowing water, but you had no time at that time and had to work as an errand in the house.

This Song and Crane Birthday Congratulations picture is about the same size as that one. In addition, you have also embroidered small-sized Song and Crane Birthday Congratulations pictures before, so giving you more than half a year to complete the project should not be a big problem.

But I haven’t promised my girl that you will definitely pick it up. Just tell Auntie right now, can it be completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival next August? Yes, let's do it next. "

Next August?

Except for the fact that it’s difficult to do it in the hot summer, and if you rush it, without using the bright light of the space, it should be almost complete by next summer.

After all, it is not a picture of 99 boys celebrating their birthdays. If it were a picture of embroidered boys celebrating their birthdays, the project would be even bigger.

"Give me a word." Seeing that Zhou Banxia was still deep in thought, shopkeeper Hu quickly interrupted her train of thought to prevent the little girl from making excuses to refuse, "Banxia, ​​550 taels of silver for half a year."
