Solid pet palace maid

Chapter 5

"Brother Xizi, here it is for you." Xiao Man took out a purse from his pocket.

"Huh, the purse? It's for me? It's so beautiful. There is a red plum embroidered on the blue purse, and a house sparrow stands on the red plum. It has its own characteristics, and I like it very much." Xiao Xizi looked at it over and over with her purse, her mouth widening and widening.

"..." Xiaoman suddenly burst into tears, "Brother Xizi, this is a magpie, a magpie, not a house sparrow. Can a house sparrow have such a beautiful tail, can it have such a beautiful line?" And, I also want to embroider It's full of colors, but I haven't learned it yet, okay?

In fact, Shang Yijian has two skills: embroidery and tailoring, and court ladies are generally good at only one.In the first year, Xiaoman and the others will learn the basic skills of these two skills, and then specialize according to their personal strengths and interests.

Xiaoman has only been studying for less than half a year now, and he has no background in needlework before. He can embroider purses and lay out drawings, which has made great progress.Xiao Xizi's words hit her hard.

"That..." Xiao Xizi rubbed her head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Xiao Man, I really didn't do it on purpose, your embroidery is really beautiful, it is the most beautiful purse I have ever seen."

"Hey, isn't it, isn't it, it's so pretty!" Xiao Man completely forgot that this was just to give her face, thinking it was a real compliment, "I've been thinking about making this since Chinese New Year, and the fabrics are also carefully selected. Yes, our identity can be used, and it is beautiful and strong."

Xiao Xizi cherished the purse in his sleeve, and said, "I will definitely treasure it. Xiao Man, you have been preparing it for me since Chinese New Year. You put so much effort into it, no wonder it looks so good."

"Well, Brother Xizi, you always bring me delicious food. I have wanted to thank you for a long time, but I have been busy during the Chinese New Year, so I have been procrastinating until now. I even embroidered one for Sister Shaoyao, and she likes it very much. Next time I will I've grown my skills, and I'll make a pair of shoes for you two." Xiao Man said confidently, "Hey, let's practice with you with Sister Shaoyao first, and then I will go out of the palace to open a tailor shop, and I will definitely make money."

Although Xiao Xizi was used as an experiment, she was still happy in her heart.Nobody ever sewed him, he was really
move.Moreover, it was made for him by the lovely Xiaoman, so it should be treasured even more.

"Okay, if you don't have enough money, I'll give you some of the monthly savings, which can be counted as shares. You can open a big shop in the future, and it will not be a problem to support your family." Xiao Xizi very generously supported Xiao Man's plan to make money.

Xiao Xizi's family is not generally poor, and she can say this, which shows that she really treats Xiao Man as a friend.

To tell the truth, although the court ladies are servants, as long as they work honestly, they will go out of the palace one day, and they can learn some skills, which is always a good way for the poor to make a living.

But eunuchs, physically and mentally destroyed, not to mention being looked down upon by others, can only die in the palace.

Xiaoxizi lives in Hejian, with 3 brothers. Both of their parents died and they left no land.Not to mention the aunt's scolding, the main reason is that the family is poor, and the five children of the uncle's family struggle to eat, and it is really difficult to feed the three of them.

Fortunately, the three brothers are very sensible, know how to rush to work, and can barely survive.However, a few years ago, there was a severe drought in the river, and the grain harvest was not good. Selling children and daughters was very common in the countryside.

Xiao Xizi is the second child in the family, but she is very responsible for her family.Seeing that his family was really unable to afford enough to eat, he defected to a fellow villager and became a eunuch. He gave the money and monthly payment to the family, just so that his elder brother and younger brother could stay in the uncle's house and have money to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

Women give birth to children.

Xiao Xizi never mentioned how much suffering and suffering she suffered during the period, but she was still smiling, optimistic, and sincere to others, which made Xiao Man admire and love him, and treat him like an older brother.

Xiaoman is definitely very lucky to meet Shaoyao and Xiaoxizi in the palace.

What's more, Xiaoman found that his ability to tailor clothes is quite good. Sometimes he used his past life memory to recommend some new looks to Shaoyao, and the clothes he made were very popular with Shang Gong.Xiaoman hopes that Shaoyao can make progress and become a Shang Palace, so that she doesn't have to go out of the palace in the future.

"Xiao Man, you are very talented. You always think of many tricks and inspire me a lot. Thank you." Shao Yao said, gently stroking Xiao Man's head.

"Sister Master, although I can think of it, I don't know how to do it. It's just an idea on paper. The final success depends on you." Xiaoman hugged Shaoyao and said: "Besides, your embroidery and tailoring skills are so good. Alright, if you show your performance, you will definitely be able to become a steward in the future, and become a palace lord, and I will follow suit."

Shaoyao laughed and said: "Children, it's not that simple to be a steward and a court official. Not only do you need good craftsmanship, but you also need to be able to deal with people. You must always pay attention to the master's preferences, and you must not get confused with the masters. If you don't pay attention, you will make mistakes. I don't have any family to take care of, so it's not worth it to work hard. It's better to be a teaching nun with real skills and live a clean life."
