You Look Like You’re Made of Money

Zhou Lu and Su Yan glanced at each other. They were completely unimpressed by these kinds of movies. The two women sat on the other side and chatted.


"Are you newlyweds?" Zhou Lu asked curiously while eating snacks.


She felt that Su Yan seemed to have a very gentle personality. She didn’t have any resistance to this type of girl.


"I don’t think we would count as newlyweds. We've been married for half a year." Su Yan also liked Zhou Lu very much. She liked straight-minded people. Although sometimes such people can make people angry, they are always better than those who play with their hearts.


"Your husband looks like that kind of elite. By the way, what do you do?"


Su Yan was stunned, thought for a while and replied, "I don't have a job."


"That's a full-time wife? I really admire being a full-time wife. It's harder than going to work."


"It's not that..." Is it hard? It's not hard at all, so is it a full-time wife?


"Who cleans?" Zhou Lu was about to get married soon. She was very sensitive to things like doing housework. She wanted to get some advice from Su Yan and use it in marriage in the future.


"I don't know, it should be the aunt at home."


Zhou Lu felt something was wrong when she heard this, and continued to ask: "Who washes the clothes? Who cooks the rice?”


" He replied: "The clothes should also be washed by the servants at home, and the meals are made by the kitchen aunt."


Eh! Zhou Lu felt that she was really stupid. She was such a beautiful daughter-in-law. If she was Jiang Jingchuan, she would not be allowed to do housework. Their family must be rich.


"It's a shame that I still felt sorry for you just now." Zhou Lu was not at all hostile to beauty, on the contrary, she liked beauties more in her heart.


"What are you feeling bad for?" Su Yan laughed.

"I have discussed it with my old Xu. From now on, the cleaning and laundry will be mine, and the cooking and washing will be his. Anyway, if I were to be a full-time wife, I would definitely not be as lucky as you. I'd rather run around outside to support my family." Zhou Lu sighed inwardly, looking at Su Yan's well-cared-for appearance.


There were very few people like Su Yan in this world.


It was even harsher on women. Although it has been said that men and women have been equal for many years, it is estimated that it will take a long time to truly implement it.


Su Yan asked curiously, "Are you tired from work?"


"Tired." Zhou Lu slumped on the sofa, thinking about her work, she had a splitting headache. Her work was like a mountain pressing on her body, and even when she went out for a trip, it seemed like she was being held down by something, "I'm helping someone make ceramics recently. The exhibition, according to my understanding, hopes to have embroidery as the main theme, but I have an obsessive-compulsive disorder myself, and the other party is also obsessive-compulsive, and they don’t want the kind of embroidery on the market.."


"Ceramics and embroidery?" Su Yan's heart moved.


Zhou Lu nodded, "The other party actually made it for his grandfather. His grandfather made ceramics. It can be regarded as an exhibition for his grandfather as a birthday gift. It's been a few months. There are already many other things. I still don’t know when the matter will be resolved. When I go back this time, I will ask someone to find the embroiderer I used to have, but I don’t think there is much hope.”


Su Yan felt impulsive, and blurted out, “I can try.”


She regretted it when she said it out, and Zhou Lu's eyes lit up, "Really? Hey, I have everything with me, just some inspiration is needed. Do you really know how to embroider?"


It was true her hands were itchy when she first came here, she nodded, "I know a bit, but I'm not particularly proficient, so don't hold out too much hope."
When you were in the palace, there were few things that you could do for leisure. She also slept early and got up early. Apart from eating, she had a lot of time left. In order to pass the time and exercise her skills, she would play the qin and write when she had nothing to do, or she would embroider a purse or something for the emperor. Although everything was novel, it was not something she was familiar with. Over time, she also missed the activities that she used to feel boring.


To put it bluntly, she still wanted to prove that she was useful. Apart from this skin, she is not bad in many aspects.


Zhou Lu rushed out with great interest, and soon came with needles and embroidery materials, which naturally attracted Jiang Jingchuan and Xu Jianping.


Facing the gazes of the three people, Su Yan felt a little embarrassed, "What are you looking at me for?"


Jiang Jingchuan asked in surprise, "You know this? How come I don't know?"


"I learned a little before." Su Yan is actually very relieved to show her skills to Jiang Jingchuan, because she knows that he will not ask the Su family.


Su Yan was brought up by the queen mother. The queen mother hoped to betroth her to a prince or a general, so she was very strict in her upbringing. Whether it was sitting etiquette or painting and calligraphy, she was no worse than the most precious princess.


At this moment, Su Yan's waist was very straight, and her body did not soften as she sat on the sofa. She lowered her head slightly, holding the needle and thread back and forth on the embroidery material with her fair and slender hands.


That gesture was not deliberately put on, as if it was deeply rooted.


It's like she's always been like this.


Jiang Jingchuan's eyes moved from her hands to her face with difficulty. He found that he didn't know her that well. Whenever he thought he was close to her, she would always surprise him.


Zhou Lu was also stunned, and sighed, "To tell the truth, if she changed into ancient clothes, I really thought she was an ancient lady."


Su Yan groaned in her heart, with a smile on her face, "Stop Exaggerating."


But Zhou Lu's remarks reminded her of the past. At that time, she was sitting in front of the window. It was raining lightly outside. Sitting on the stool, embroidering stitch by stitch.


The previous life was boring and monotonous, but peaceful.


She never thought that one day she would be in a completely different world, and it was only at this moment that she realized that she didn't want to go home.


Even though that place was like a huge cage, before she knew it, she had made it her home.


Can she go back? If she could go back, would she go back?

Su Yan didn't know, she shook her head and left the inexplicable emotions behind her.


Zhou Lu's words were originally very straight, but now she said with emotion: "I think I am a maid in front of you hahahaha, or the kind of rough maid, really, that kind of temperament is completely different."


Xu Jianping also nodded, "That's right."


"Hey!" Zhou Lu was dissatisfied and pinched him hard.


Xu Jianping bared his teeth in pain, which made Su Yan laugh.


Jiang Jingchuan didn't speak, he looked down at Su Yan, and what Zhou Lu said was what he thought. He used to underestimate the Su family.


He remembered the pictures of beautiful women he saw in his grandfather's study when he was a child. It was obviously not like Su Yan at all, but he just thought of one.


One afternoon, Su Yan didn't move very much, and was concentrating on embroidering all the time. Zhou Lu slept and came over to see the embroidery that was not a half-finished product. “You solved the problem for me, Xiaoyan, what you embroidered is exactly what I want, uh... would you help me?"


Su Yan was actually modest, her embroidery is by no means the best in the harem, but it was proficient.


Hearing Zhou Lu say this, Su Yan was taken aback, she just wanted to try it, she didn't want to use it as a job.


"Xiaoyan, I know you are definitely not short of money. The price I can offer you may not be as expensive as your watch, but…" Zhou Lu paused and smiled slyly, "You learned this, don't you think? Don't you want to be appreciated by more people?"


Su Yan was stunned when she heard this, Zhou Lu knew there was something when she saw her expression like this.


She did not continue to persuade her, but gave Su Yan her business card, "Otherwise, you can continue embroidering. I want to see the finished product, as for cooperation, you can think about it carefully. In terms of price, I will certainly give it to you."


Before that, Su Yan had never thought about going out to work, nor had she thought that what she had learned was actually useful and could be appreciated by others to make money. Zhou Lu left, Su Yan got tired of embroidering, so she put down the embroidery and stared out the window blankly, Jiang Jingchuan walked behind her, hugged her from behind, put her chin on her head, and said warmly, "What should I do? ."


“Huh?"


"As Zhou Lu said, in front of you, she looks like a maid, and now I feel like your bodyguard."


Su Yan bumped him with her elbow and said in a muffled voice, "Don't make fun of me. "


What I said is true." Jiang Jingchuan sighed heavily, "I also know what Zhou Lu told you. I don't object to you going out to work, as long as you are happy."


Su Yan's expression It's very complicated, "I never thought that I could make money one day. In fact, I didn't even think about going to work because I felt very tired."


She just wanted to live comfortably, and she pursued this kind of life because she didn't want to work. To think she could make money.

The education she received was to rely on men and the emperor in the palace. When she came here, her thoughts could not be corrected in a day or two, so she relied on her husband.

In fact, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.


But now, besides that person, someone likes to admire her embroidery and asks her to help, she can get a good reward for it, which makes Su Yan's heart untouched.


Hearing this, Jiang Jingchuan felt like laughing, he rubbed her head and hugged her tighter, "Don't think about those who have or not, as long as you are happy, just do what you want, if you don't want to do it, do it. Don't do it, it's very simple."


"Yes." Su Yan replied sullenly.


"That's right." Jiang Jingchuan remembered that he didn't watch many costume dramas with his grandmother when he was a child, and his tone was full of anticipation, "In ancient times, those young ladies and so on, didn't they give embroidered handkerchiefs to their sweethearts? You also embroider me a handkerchief, okay?"


"Do you want one?" Su Yan flashed, yes, why did she forget, such a good opportunity to hug her thighs can't be easily missed, she was misled before. She felt that the times were different, and what she learned before was probably useless, but it seemed useful now.


Jiang Jingchuan lowered his head slightly, put his arms around her waist, and kissed her, "Yes."


Su Yan snorted, "Then I'll embroider for you when I go back, will you take it with you?"


"Of course."


Although she was young at that time, she was also moved by this scene, and every stitch and thread carried her heart.


What Su Yan embroidered was very simple, and it was finished at noon the next day. Zhou Lu came to see the finished product and became more determined to pull Su Yan over to cooperate.


She took a photo and sent it to someone's WeChat, and then proudly sent a message: "How about this? I think it's pretty good."


After a while, the person replied: "Where did you find it? Not bad."


In fact, there were also exquisite embroidery on the market, but they lack the sense of age they need. They are not carved, and they are not looking for handicrafts that could be seen everywhere.


Zhou Lu sent a smug expression over: "I met a girl while I was traveling. I'm lobbying her to help. I think we can cooperate with her."


Lu Yang was attending a dinner party. When he received the WeChat, his irritable mood finally improved. He has a very good relationship with his grandfather. At first, he wanted to make a living. Later, he fell in love with ceramics. When he got older, he still liked to study them. Now, Lu Yang wanted to hold a ceramic exhibition for his grandpa, which could be regarded as fulfilling the old man's dream.


Zhou Lu had also found a lot of embroidery for him before, and he had the same feeling as Zhou Lu when he saw it. Exquisite, delicate, good-looking, but he felt that something was missing.


He couldn't tell exactly what it felt like, but what Zhou Lu sent was exactly what he wanted.


Zhou Lu was a chatterbox, after being praised by Lu Yang, she opened the conversation: "I tell you, that girl was really the most unforgettable beauty I have ever seen, and she doesn't even need to try, it’s what her parents gave her. The key is that her temperament is simple. If you saw her sitting down and embroidering, you might fall in love, but it's a pity that the girl is already married. Fortunately, the man is not bad. I would grieve about it otherwise."


Lu Yang didn't want to talk to her anymore, he just glanced at her chats and didn't reply.
