Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 111 The Embroidery Ending
On the morning of June 26, Mrs. Zhao and Langzhong Chen invited several old people from the village to accompany Mrs. Wei to Qi's house.In front of everyone, the Wei family took out five slings of money, some cloth and clothing, head jewelry, etc., which were regarded as dowry gifts and given to the Qi family, and the marriage between Xiumei and that boy of the Zhou family was settled in this way.

The Zhao family acted as a matchmaker, and Chen Langzhong wrote the marriage letter. After both parties signed the marriage letter, the marriage was considered final.Wei Shi was in a hurry to go home, so he made an agreement on the spot that he would take Xiumei with him the next day.The Qi family was eager to send Xiumei out as soon as possible, so of course they readily agreed.

27 Early this morning, Qi Xiumei put on new clothes and a small bundle, and was picked up by the Wei family just like that.People who are greedy for money like Qi Tiankui and his wife, of course, can't give Xiumei any dowry, at most it's just the cloth jewelry sent by the Zhou family yesterday.This is what Xiumei begged for, so Liu did not withhold it.

There is no need to think about the banquet, the Qi family will not hold a banquet for Xiumei.A major event in a woman's life is done so hastily and hastily.Xiumei sat on the carriage, looked back at Qijia Village behind her, and secretly swore in her heart that from now on, she would never come back again.

Eight months after Qi Xiumei arrived at Zhou's family, she gave birth to a boy. Everyone in Zhou's family was very happy, and it was a good time to celebrate.But the Qi family didn't show up, because the Zhou family didn't inform the Qi family at all.

Since the Wei family has already arranged everything, the Zhou family is really far away from Qijia Village, so the people at the Zhou family don't know the foundation of embroidering beauty.Therefore, no one doubted anything, and they all thought that it was God's kindness that really cured the idiot's illness.

However, after Xiumei gave birth to confinement, her mother-in-law Wei's attitude took a big turn.All the work outside the house is entrusted to Xiumei, and she will be beaten if she does not do well at all, and Xiumei is not allowed to get close to the child except for breastfeeding.

Xiumei was tortured at Zhou's house, working hard all day long, and was beaten, scolded and abused by her mother-in-law and stupid husband.When the child was seven or eight months old, Xiumei suddenly became seriously ill and died.

Of course, these are all things to come.Just talking about the Qi family, after finally sending Xiumei away, Qi Tiankui and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xiumei's incident was dangerous, outsiders didn't know the inside story anyway.Moreover, Xiumei married such a good family again. When the people in the village heard that the other party gave Wudiao money and so many things, many people were very envious, and they stopped talking about the previous things.

In this way, at any rate, the Qi family's reputation has been preserved, and they have also gained a lot of benefits.Qi Tiankui didn't care what other people said, but took Yongyuan and Qiaoyun to the town to sell the silkworm cocoons harvested this year.

When I came to the cloth village, I saw a sea of ​​people in front of the cloth village, all of whom came to sell silkworm cocoons.Bu Zhuang temporarily recruited a lot of helpers, and together with the boys, they carried the large scale and harvested the silkworm cocoons there.

A Liang's eyes were sharp, and he saw Qiao Yun all at once, so he pushed aside the crowd with great effort, and came in front of Qiao Yun. "Miss Qiaoyun, why did you come today? It's too busy here, you should go in through the side door, the shopkeeper is busy inside." A Liang greeted Qiaoyun warmly.

"Brother A Liang, I accompanied my father to sell silkworm cocoons, but I didn't expect there to be so many people today." Seeing A Liang's enthusiasm, Qiao Yun said with a smile. "By the way, I don't know the price of this cocoon?"

"Miss Qiaoyun, you didn't come at the right time. If you came two days ago, you could sell more money. The price of silkworm cocoons has dropped today. It's a penny per catty. Now it's five pennies per catty. " A Liang looked at the silkworm cocoons on the mule cart behind Qiaoyun, they seemed to weigh at least [-] catties, and now they were almost a penny short.

When Qi Tiankui heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.After all, this year's silkworm cocoon harvest is good. I originally expected to sell more, but I never thought that the price would drop.

"Little brother, it's not easy for us to be busy this season, can you give us a higher price?" When Qi Tiankui spoke, he kept winking at Qiao Yun.That meaning, of course, is to let Qiaoyun speak up. With Qiaoyun's face, maybe he can sell more.

Of course Qiaoyun understood what Qi Tiankui meant, but Qiaoyun didn't want to speak.I told them a long time ago that if they don't work quickly, the price of silkworm cocoons will drop, but none of the members of the Qi family take it seriously.What's the use of pointing at Qiaoyun's quick work?She's not a fairy, wouldn't she have to pick out silkworm cocoons one by one?Now knowing that the price has dropped and asking her to come forward, why?

Qiaoyun pretended not to notice Qi Tiankui's wink, and just smiled, "Father, big brother, you guys line up here, I have to go to the back to find shopkeeper Han. I have been busy these days, and I haven't saved a few pieces of cloth. , I have to talk to shopkeeper Han about it. We signed a contract with him at the beginning, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to pay that much this time. If we followed the contract, we would have to pay him back.”

Qiaoyun said this on purpose, because she knew that Qi Tiankui would definitely panic when the matter of losing money was mentioned.Sure enough, when Qi Tiankui heard this, he quickly waved his hands, "Quick, go and explain to shopkeeper Han. I don't blame us for this matter. The family is really busy."

Qiao Yun agreed, and while lowering her head and snickering, she walked around the crowd, entered the cloth house through the side door, and then went to shopkeeper Han.

Shopkeeper Han is also busy here. The warehouse of Buzhuang is full of harvested cocoons, and it seems that there is no more room here.Shopkeeper Han is instructing people to transport the silkworm cocoons received in front directly to the warehouse at the weaving workshop.

The weaving workshop was still some distance away from the cloth shop, on the edge of the town, so the cocoons collected had to be repacked and transported by horse-drawn cart.

"Uncle Han, is there anything I can do to help?" Qiao Yun saw the situation here when she came over, so she asked.

When shopkeeper Han saw Qiaoyun, his eyes lit up, "Oh, it's Qiaoyun, it's a coincidence that you came here, I was thinking about going to your village in the afternoon. Come on, we have to discuss the next thing carefully Take a moment, look, the silkworm cocoon has also come down, when will you come to work? Our weaving workshop has to start work quickly."

"Also, according to the blueprint you drew, I have already asked someone to make all the silk reeling cars. Later, you can go and see how it is arranged over there. If it is possible, we will have to make it in two days. The manpower was recruited and started to work."

In the past, shopkeeper Han collected cocoons and shipped them directly to the south instead of reeling them locally.But now they want to build their own weaving workshops, but they can no longer toss back and forth, which takes a lot of time and money. Instead, it is better to reel silk locally.So shopkeeper Han had discussed with Qiaoyun at the beginning, and according to Qiaoyun's suggestion, he asked craftsmen to make a batch of silk reeling carts.

　Add more to send, I wonder if you are satisfied with the results of Qixiumei?Hehe, I think this is enough. If you lose your reputation, won't it also affect our heroine?
