Chapter 26 Accepting a Disciple
At the end of the first day, the number of people who came to Ye's house to learn embroidery with Zhou Ran on the second day was reduced. In addition to a few people who were obviously not suitable for learning embroidery, there was also a person with some embroidery skills. Maybe he thought Zhou Ran What I said is too simple.

Zhou Ran didn't say much. Her idea was to come if she wanted to. She wouldn't force her to come if she didn't want to. Anyway, she would teach everyone at her own pace. How much they can learn depends on each person's talent.

Zhou Ran taught the villagers four kinds of Su embroidery stitches for ten days in total, but the only people who learned all four stitches were Ma's daughter-in-law Liu, and Wu's third daughter-in-law Ren who had previously persuaded the villagers to come to Zhang. Shi, Huiniang, the youngest daughter of Aunt Hua's family, Cui Shi, the second daughter-in-law of Aunt Liu's family, and the eldest girl who came with a duck in her arms on the first day.

Zhou Ran thought about it for a few days and finally decided to accept Da Niu as his apprentice.

I chose this way, partly because the girl's embroidery talent is really good, but partly because I felt pity for her and wanted to help her.

Da Niu's mother died when she was giving birth to Da Niu, and Da Niu's father also went into the mountains and met a wolf when Da Niu was about one year old. She disappeared, and only Da Niu and her grandmother were left in the family. Now that they are old and unable to do farm work, the two of them live a very hard life, one old and the other young.

On the last day of teaching everyone embroidery, Zhou Ran stopped Da Niu alone and asked her: "Would you like to recognize me as your master and continue to learn embroidery from me?"

After hearing Zhou Ran's question, the big girl was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with surprise on her face.

Zhou Ran smiled and shook her head when she saw this, and said: "This matter is not urgent. You go back and discuss it with your grandma first. If your grandma agrees, you can come back to me."

"Grandma will definitely agree." The girl pursed her lips, revealing the two small pear dimples at the corners of her mouth, and said with bright eyes.

However, after saying this, Da Niu still listened to Zhou Ran and went home first to tell her grandma about it.

Da Niu's grandma was even more excited than Da Niu when she heard Da Niu say this. She thanked all the gods and God in her mouth, and then began to search around the house, trying to get Da Niu an apprenticeship. Lilly.

It’s just that their family was so poor that in the end, Da Niu’s grandma only managed to scrape together a dozen duck eggs and two ducks that she planned to sell in the town later. One of these two ducks was the one Da Niu hugged last time. Going to Ye's house.

The eldest girl looked at what grandma had prepared and hesitated: "Grandma, do these have to be sent to Aunt Ye's house? Otherwise...or should I not become Aunt Ye's teacher?"

There are only two ducks in their family. She and her grandma rely on the eggs laid by these two ducks to survive. What should she and her grandma do if they give them all to Aunt Ye?
Grandma Da Niu heard this and said angrily: "What are you talking about? What a great thing your Aunt Ye is willing to accept you as her disciple, but you actually want to refuse just because of two ducks?"

Seeing that Da Niu lowered her head and didn't speak, Da Niu's grandma took a breath again and said: "Listen to grandma and quickly take your things with grandma to your Aunt Ye's house. Haven't you learned how to embroider handkerchiefs now? In the future. You can support grandma by embroidering handkerchiefs, so how can grandma use her hard work to raise ducks in exchange for money?"

When the girl heard this, she immediately laughed and assured her grandma: "Grandma, don't worry, Aunt Ye said that I am good at embroidering. I will definitely embroider handkerchiefs to support you in the future."

"Okay, grandma is waiting for my big girl to support grandma. Now let's take our things and go to your Aunt Ye's house to apprentice."

"Yeah." The girl nodded, took the duck and duck eggs, and went to Ye's house with her grandma.

Zhou Ran looked at what Da Niu and her grandma had brought, and initially didn’t want to accept it, but Da Niu’s grandma insisted. In the end, Zhou Ran accepted it, but after Da Niu became a disciple, she gave Da Niu a red envelope and gave Da Niu some. Make embroidery ground cloth and embroidery thread.

After coming out of Ye's house, Da Niu's grandma took Da Niu's hand and told her: "Your master is so kind to you, you must be grateful. In the future, you must listen to your master just like you listen to grandma, and treat her as your mother." Just as filial, do you understand?"

"I know, grandma." The big girl held the things given by Zhou Ran in her arms and said excitedly: "Grandma, I will use the things master gave me to embroider the handkerchief when I go back later. Master said that if I The handkerchiefs are well embroidered, and she will sell them for me when she goes back to the county town." "Well, you can embroider them well when you go back."

The two talked and slowly returned home.

A few days later, when the villagers saw Da Niu running to Ye's house every day, they realized that Zhou Ran had accepted Da Niu as his apprentice.

Everyone had different reactions to this matter. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were scolding their daughter-in-law or daughter for not seizing the opportunity to let Zhou Ran accept them as his apprentices.

There were also people like the Wu family who once again approached the Zhang family and wanted Zhou Ran to accept their daughter and daughter-in-law as apprentices. This time, the Zhang family didn't have to worry about offending anyone and refused directly.

Zhou Ran was not affected by this and took Ye Xiaomei and Da Niu to do embroidery work together every day.

Zhou Ran taught embroidery to the villagers during this period, but only three of the twelve double-sided screens were embroidered. She wanted to embroider these screens quickly.

By the end of September, Zhou Ran finally finished embroidering all twelve screens. The next day she took these screens and the handkerchiefs embroidered by Ye Xiaomei and Da Niu to Linglong Embroidery Workshop.

After shopkeeper Peng saw Zhou Ran, he said happily: "Ms. Zhou, you haven't been here for a while. Is it still a big deal this time?"

Zhou Ran shook her head and said, "This time it's a small item."

Shopkeeper Peng was a little disappointed when he heard this. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Zhou Ran continue: "Although it is a small piece, there is a complete set of twelve pieces, and it is double-sided embroidery."

Shopkeeper Peng took out his ears and said in shock: "Did you just say double-sided embroidery? A set of twelve pieces?"

Zhou Ran nodded, opened the things he brought, and said, "Shopkeeper Peng, let's see for yourself."

The embroidery that Zhou Ran placed on top was the daffodil representing the flower god of December. The white flowers were delicate and lovely, and the green leaves were elegant and stretched, but not messy.

Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that the two sides of the embroidered ground are equally exquisite and beautiful daffodils.

Shopkeeper Peng held the daffodil embroidery and looked at it admiringly for a long time before looking at the next piece of embroidery. Under the daffodils was the camellia representing the November flower god.

It took shopkeeper Peng more than two quarters of an hour to read all the embroidery items brought by Zhou Ran one by one.

Putting the things aside carefully, shopkeeper Peng looked at Zhou Ran as if looking at the God of Wealth, "Ms. Zhou really gave me a big surprise this time. These embroideries are so exquisite."

The contract he signed with Zhou Ran only required Zhou Ran to provide one piece of double-sided embroidery to the embroidery workshop every year. Unexpectedly, Zhou Ran sent twelve pieces in less than a year.
