Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Looking at Ruxiang's sad face, although I wanted to persuade her, at this time, the empty consolation did not make her feel better, so I only explained a few words and asked, "When will you go to Xiufang? What about? "

"Going tomorrow."

"Tomorrow." I thought for a while, and said, "Can I trouble Mother Aunt Zhao to help me take care of Lier tomorrow? I'll go with you."

"Ah? What are you going to do?"

"Go to the market and I should find a job."

"Oh, I'll talk to my mother later."

"Trouble her."

She shook her head with a smile and chatted with me again, then she left and went to Aunt Zhao. After she got married, she naturally lived in her husband's house, but I heard that the two sons of the original Zhao Auntie should have been back long ago, but because of the border crossings, they sent several soldiers again, and they have been delayed until now. It's all in a village, and she usually takes care of her mother who lives alone.

After receiving the consent of Aunt Zhao, I got up before the next day.

Just after washing, I heard Zhao Auntie knocking softly on the door. I asked her to sit down and drink tea, and then told a few words to Li Er, who was still awake and awake in bed, and went out.

This time when I returned to Jixiang Village, my relationship with Aunt Zhao was more harmonious than before. Once her daughter has been married, and secondly, I am a woman with a child. This kind of disadvantage is even more unguarded and even sympathetic. Although other people in the village were not enthusiastic about me, and it was not difficult, coupled with the appearance of Gu Ping before, it scared Gou Er, and the villagers heard and heard it, knowing that I had a big backing behind me.

In this way, I am more assured to leave the children in the village and go to the embroidery workshop by myself.

Went to the fair with Ruta. According to her, some big money shops closed the door. It should be a lot more deserted than before, but some medium-sized shops are still on the contrary, creating a lively atmosphere. After the summer, the fruit and aquatic products in Jiangnan are abundant. The hawkers on the side of the road are not too inferior to those before.

The small person is the small person, there is always the toughness that the sky falls down, and can still breathe in the gap.

Ruxiang took me along the way, and she really saw the embroidery square in front of me. It was the place where I took up scattered work and subsidized my family.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw dozens of embroidered women surrounded by it, and the owner of that embroidery workshop was talking to a big-bellied poop, wearing a bala, and it seemed that the businessman was very decent and rich.

Ruxiang took me in and heard the man's eager voice—

"Boss Gao, how can you do this. I still point you to finish the goods."

"I'm so sorry, boss Wang."

"Hey, if you leave, I'll have embroidery in the future. Who do I want?"

The boss Gao just smiled and didn't answer, but the embroidery girls next to him were all anxious, one of them boldly said, "Boss, you are gone, what can we do in the future?"

"Ah, in this world, do it for yourself."

"Boss Gao, you are not right. We have been in business for many years. You can leave as long as you want. I still have to wait for someone else to deliver the goods, otherwise I can't make the difference ..."

Listening to them, you said something to me, Ruxiang sighed softly next to you, and said, "You saw it too. When Boss Gao left, these embroidered women were no longer in charge. They were quiet, even those big bosses had It ’s impossible to find one by one, but I ’m afraid in the future ... ”

I didn't listen, I just watched that boss Wang was getting more and more anxious. Hongtong's face was full of greasy sweat, and he kept rubbing his face with rubbings, but the boss Gao had already made up his mind. He wants to leave, but in the end he is a businessman, and he is kind, no matter what people around him say, he just laughs and perfunctory.

I always stood by and listened, without swaggering, just walked over carefully and talked to a few qualified embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop, and basically understood some situations. Waiting until the boss Wang couldn't hold it, when he suddenly turned and prepared to go out, I stepped forward and stopped in front of him: "Boss Wang, please stay."

He paused and glanced at me, presumably thinking that I was also the embroidery girl in this embroidery workshop, and frowned. "What?"

"Boss Wang has a lot of work now, but no one can answer it, right?"

His eyebrows tightened further: "What does this have to do with you?"

I smiled: "This has nothing to do with me originally, but I heard that boss Wang has to be in a hurry for this shipment, so I want to help."

"Help? You, a woman, can you help me?"

"I want to come next."

"What? You?"

He then looked at me up and down slightly.

I also wore a slightly decent dress today. The boss Wang looked at my clothes and his brows stretched a little, but he still looked at me uneasily: "Who are you and what is your skill to take over this? live?"

I have n’t had time to talk. The boss Gao inside already recognized me and greeted me with a smile: "Boss Wang, you don't know yet, she was also an embroidery lady in our embroidery workshop, although she only took some sporadic jobs. , But the technique is superb. "

"Oh?"

I smiled at Boss Gao.

Although I also know that he said this just to get rid of boss Wang's entanglement and push things forward, but at this time it was really good for me. I smiled at him, and then heard boss Wang Road: "Superb skills? How superb?"

"..."

I raised an eyebrow and smiled.

I never thought that the boss Wang would give me this job so easily, at least there should be reasons to make him feel at ease. So I smiled and took out a piece of silk tape from my hand and showed it to him: "Have you ever seen this?"

He was a little dismissive at first, but when he saw the piece of silk scarf that I had pulled out, he suddenly felt a shock, and hurriedly took it over to take a closer look. The embroidery ladies around came to hear this time and saw that Each piece of silk silk was as delicate as flowing water, and everyone was amazed. Boss Wang was familiar with the goods and immediately said, "This is the silk spar from Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. How did you get it?"

I smiled: "This is from a friend. I want to ask Boss Wang, can you see someone who can embroider on this?"

As soon as he heard it, he was shocked, and the embroidery girls around him were all embarrassed.

The silk scarf produced by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is the most delicate, and the seams are almost invisible. Although such a silk scarf is soft and conformable, embroidering on it becomes a difficult task. Not to mention that it is difficult to get the needle down. The special embroidery needle is just as thin as hair. People with unstable hands and eyes cannot control the needle at all. Blind embroidery will only mess up the stitches. Rough embroidery will destroy a piece Good crap. It is said that when the Manufacturing Bureau was still in its heyday, there were only a few dozen embroidered women. They were all the top technical experts in the country. Later, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was closed. These embroidered women were lost in the market. Now, looking for such people, almost It's gone.

Boss Wang was startled, "Can you?"

I smiled and didn't say anything, I just asked someone nearby to help me with the taut bandage. Ruxiang was standing next to me. At this time she hurriedly gave it to me. I stretched the silk spar and someone immediately gave me a set of needles.

But when I saw it, I immediately shook my head.

These needles are too thick to be used on ordinary silk, but embroidering on such silk drapes is obviously impossible.

Ruta whispered, "What then?"

I thought about it, stretched out my hand and pulled a hair down from the top of the head, twisted it, and twisted it into a needle, and pulled out a filament through the eye of the needle. The people around me were already stunned, one by one forgetting to breathe, dozens of eyes were all staring at the point of my fingertips.

And I couldn't notice the surroundings at all. I lifted my needle and dropped my hand, only to see a thin wire fluttering on my fingertips and silk spar. After a while, a lifelike butterfly appeared on the corner of the spar.

When I finished the last stitch, I heard the people around me exclaim.

I removed the bandages, took care of the piece of silk, and handed it to Boss Wang's eyes: "Do you see this?"

Boss Wang was already startled and startled. She handed him in front of him. Half a while later he responded to pick it up. Zai carefully looked up and looked at me again. A complex expression was revealed in his eyes, saying: "Really There are mountains outside the mountain, and there are people outside. I can't think of a crouching tiger, hiding a dragon like this in a small Qishan village, I have seen it today. "

I lowered my head with a smile, but I was not polite to him.

Now I'm talking to him about business. At this time, there is no need to be blind and humble. Besides, this skill is not to be mentioned in this embroidery workshop. Even the people of this skill in the entire Jiangnan Society can't count it with their hands. I learned it hard, and I was praised by one or two.

After Boss Wang watched it, the people around him also took the piece of Sipa and watched it, and all of them gave admiration.

Even Ruxiang said, "Lightness, you have such a good craft, why didn't you say it earlier?"

I just smiled gently.

However, just then, Boss Wang said to me: "This lady, your skill is indeed superior. However, your superior skill does not mean that you have the ability to take on such a great job. After all This is not something you can do alone. "

My heart suddenly sank.

Boss Wang is a calm businessman, and indeed, I am superior in skill alone, which does not mean that I am an honest businessman. Just like the high boss of this embroidery workshop, he was not an embroiderer. People and business people are originally two different things.

So I smiled and said, "Mr. Wang's words make sense. But now you have seen the situation. Boss Gao didn't do it, but these embroidery ladies still want to do it. I want to say that I will take this job. The employment and employment are the same as before, but the people who have handled it have changed a bit. "

After speaking, I turned my head and looked at the embroidered women: "Do you want to stay and follow me?"

The embroidered women were still a little dazed, staring at me blankly, and I calmly said, "All the pay is the same as in the past. Get a job and get a money. As long as you are willing to do it, you will naturally have money of."

After hearing what I said, they just came back to me. Those embroidered women who had talked to me quickly nodded: "Yes, we certainly do!"

"We just have to work, we just have to live."

"Yes, it doesn't matter who you follow."

With them taking the lead, the other embroiders also nodded hurriedly and expressed their willingness to follow me.

Seeing them like this, I smiled and turned my head to look at Boss Wang, but saw him still uneasy, frowning: "You speak lightly. It is the person who handles that changes a bit to make people not Rest assured. "

I said, "I don't know, what can I do to reassure Boss Wang?"

Boss Wang groaned and looked around and said, "Well, after all, I also want this batch to be made faster. If the people here can still keep the same, then there is no problem, but you can pick it up. You have to pay me before you can approve the goods. "

"So, how much do you want?"

"Not much," he held out a finger. "One hundred and two."
