Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 23

With the brand-new furniture being carried into the new house one after another, the autumn harvest is almost here. This is the happiest day for the farmers. Seeing the waves of wheat rolling in the field, the fiery sorghum field, even the most serious on weekdays Zhou Lizheng is also pinching his mustache every day and can't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Picking an auspicious day, Wen Yue's family officially moved into their new house. On the first day they moved in, Mrs. Zhao couldn't restrain her excitement. I never thought that my wife would live in such a big house one day."

Wen Yue is also very satisfied with this new home. Although the main house was given up to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao, the side room she and Da Chuan live in is equally spacious.While eating, Wen Yue said to Zhao who was still immersed in excitement: "Grandma, mother, you can go to the town with me and Da Chuan tomorrow. You have settled in Zhoujia Village for so long, and you have never gone to the town. Go around. I have embroidered two fans and want to sell them. By the way, let’s pull some fabric and cotton and come back to make some new quilts. Our current quilts are too thin, and it’s time to suffer in winter.”

When she heard that she was going to spend money again, Zhao frowned habitually, but fortunately she had adapted to Wen Yue's consumption rhythm, and she didn't act too strongly: "Well, when I get old, I won't go to town. It’s a toss, you can take your mother with you. Also, my quilt is quite good, so you don’t need to change it, just change your own bed.”

"Grandma, you don't want to give up money again, do you? You let me only change my own, you are embarrassing me! I am not such a person, oh grandma, the quilt is not only covered for one year, buy a new one It's also necessary, I've heard people in the village say that the winter in Zhoujia Village is much colder than ours, you don't want to get sick from the cold in winter, and end up spending more money on treatment instead."

Fang Dachuan saw that Mrs. Zhao was a little moved by Wen Yue's persuasion, and joined the persuasion team: "That's right, grandma, what Yueniang said is right, you can go to town with us tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head and said, "Your mother and I won't go, you go on your own, and you can buy whatever you want. After two days of autumn harvest, there will be no time for you to go out."

Wen Yue persuaded her a few more times, but Mrs. Zhao still insisted on not going to the town with Wen Yue, and firmly refused on behalf of Mrs. Li. In desperation, Wen Yue had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​going to the town together.

When Wen Yue arrived at Xiuzhuang, the fat woman was talking to a young and slightly taller man, and her bland smile made her teeth ache.Wen Yue's legs paused when she stepped into the store, and she wanted to turn around and come back later, but when the man who was talking with the boss saw Wen Yue, his eyes suddenly shone with light, and then looked at his face slightly. The flustered boss showed a hint of understanding in his eyes.

The man stood up and showed a friendly smile to Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan, and said to Fang Dachuan with his hands clasped, "Is this little brother Miss Wen's husband?"

Although Fang Dachuan was quite surprised, but out of politeness, he clasped his fists back and said, "May I ask this gentleman, have we met before?"

The boss of the embroidery shop looked even more ugly at this moment, he got up and stood between Fang Dachuan and the man and said to him: "Boss Mo, I have already agreed with Miss Wen that she will not sell the embroidery to you." House's."

The man surnamed Mo was not annoyed either, but he laughed twice and said to her: "Miss Seven, you really misunderstood me, I never thought of asking Miss Wen for embroidery work, I asked you that she had something Think otherwise."

Only now did Wen Yue know the name of the proprietress of the embroidered village, Seventh Lady.

The man surnamed Mo didn't care whether Qi Niangzi looked good or not, he just said to Wen Yue: "Miss Wen, I am the treasurer Mo of the Jinxiu workshop, do you have time to sit in my embroidery workshop? I have a little thing I want Discuss with the little lady, I wonder if you can show me your face, little lady?"

Wen Yue turned her head to look at Fang Dachuan and asked for his opinion. Fang Dachuan thought about it for a while, then looked at shopkeeper Mo carefully, and said, "Ma'am, since that's the case, let's go there in a while."

Shopkeeper Mo showed a satisfied smile on his face when he heard this, and just about to say a word to Fang Dachuan, he heard Qin Niangzi's sharp voice rang out in the room: "Oh, shopkeeper Mo, what are you doing for What, you still have to call my sister Wen from me to you, don't you see that my sister is inconvenient now? There is nothing wrong with telling others, and my sister and I are very close. Why don't you just tell me, as it happens that I can also help my younger sister check it out."

Shopkeeper Mo was a little displeased because of Seventh Lady's disturbing words, but he still looked at Seventh Lady with a smile on his face and said, "Seventh Lady, what I want to discuss with Miss Wen is really hard for outsiders to hear."

"That's not right, shopkeeper Mo, I probably know what you want to say, but it's too unreasonable for you to do this. You have been guarding my store all day to intercept people, and now you want to see someone by yourself." It's not justified to make a profit, right? Although my Caixiufang is not as large as Jinxiufang, and I don't have a backstage like you, but if you really pull people away like this, it's no different from slapping me in the face Only by being kind can you make money, Shopkeeper Mo." Seventh Lady's mouth is not weak, although she is smiling all the time, the meaning behind the words is not as relaxed as her smile.

After being ruthlessly teased out by Seventh Lady, and threatened by a woman, shopkeeper Mo finally couldn't hold back.He really stayed here on purpose these days, in order to wait for Miss Wen. If he said how he knew Wen Yue had such a good skill, he still thinks it is a blessing.

The eldest daughter of the Zhu family is going to leave the court, so the dowry will not be too small. Although their Jinxiu workshop in Pu Town is not capable of taking a few jobs, the main store in Dezhou has taken a few orders. Business.This time Dezhou sent someone to deliver the goods, of course, as a landlord, he would accompany him to the Zhu Mansion.

It was only after this trip that shopkeeper Mo heard from the servants of the Zhu family that Miss Zhu’s wedding dress was embroidered by a local peasant woman. Out of curiosity, he spent a lot of money to see it in person. After seeing that embroidery method, that is, that one glance, he understood the preciousness of this embroidery method.

There is such a good embroiderer under his nose, how could he not check it out?It's just that Zhu's mansion is too popular, and he couldn't find out who embroidered it anyway. Fortunately, after many inquiries, he finally knew that this embroiderer had taken over the embroidery work at Qinianzi's time.Out of luck, he decided to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, but he didn't expect to be guarded by him.

He had already had an idea in his mind these few days, and he could try it when he saw Wen Yue, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Qin Niangzi. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Niangzi's words, but Seventh Lady said something, but it was not wrong, kindness makes money.Although they have always been in a competitive relationship, there are people behind this colorful embroidery workshop.

Oh, whatever!Even if it was really what he thought, the master would not turn against the master of the Caixiu workshop just because of a small embroidery skill, so he might as well sell Qin Niangzi's face.

After pondering for a while, Shopkeeper Mo shook his head and said to Qiniangzi: "It's not that I can't explain it to you, Qiniangzi, but what I think is probably different from your guess, Qiniangzi."

He looked at Wen Yue again and said: "Miss Wen, your embroidery method is something I have never seen before. I don't know who passed it on? I don't know that the master who taught this embroidery method to the little lady is willing to teach this embroidery method. Fa to flourish?"

Shopkeeper Mo's words surprised Seventh Lady, she looked at Shopkeeper Mo without any shyness, and thought: This old guy really has a lot of schemes, I thought he just wanted Miss Wen to supply his family's embroidery alone. Cheng Xiang actually wanted to pass on Miss Wen's inheritance to him!

Of course, Wen Yue also understood the meaning of Shopkeeper Mo's words. Instead of meeting Shopkeeper Mo's gaze, she cast her gaze on Fang Dachuan.At this time, it is much better for Fang Dachuan to come forward to deal with it than her, and it is also a chance for him to exercise.

If Wen Yue hadn't transmigrated to become his wife, then he might have been with the soil all his life, plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn.But now that she is here, although Wen Yue thinks that she will not lead Fang Dachuan to become a wealthy family, it is entirely possible to start a small business in the future. Doing business requires dealing with people, so Fang Dachuan should not be allowed to exercise at this time When do we have to wait?
Seeing Wen Yue's eyes on him, Fang Dachuan somewhat understood what Wen Yue meant, he straightened up and looked at shopkeeper Mo and said, "Treasurer Mo, my wife's natal family runs an embroidery workshop, and her embroidery techniques are also passed down to me. Mother-in-law. However, I don’t know why shopkeeper Mo asked this question?”

"Oh!" Shopkeeper Mo nodded, thinking that this is reasonable, otherwise, at Wen Yue's young age, how could it be possible to invent such a new embroidery method?But these are not important, what is important is how to make Miss Wen willingly pass on her skills.

He rolled his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, we smart people don't speak secretly. In fact, my selfishness is to think whether Miss Wen intends to accept apprentices? To tell you the truth, Brother Fang, Miss Wen's embroidery is really unique." Absolutely, but if Mrs. Wen keeps it alone, she will definitely not be able to pass on this embroidery method, and it would be a pity to bury such a wonderful skill in the eyes of the old man!"

Although he was talking to Fang Dachuan, his eyes did not ignore Wen Yue's expression. It can be seen that after talking so much about Wen Yue, he still looked like a man in charge. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Added a sentence: "Brother Fang, Mrs. Wen, if you can pass on this skill, with the background of our Jinxiu workshop, it is bound to make this embroidery method flourish in my Great Xia Dynasty. Correspondingly, we will not I have treated you badly."
