When it comes to good embroidery masters, Anne really knows one.

The old lady's ancestral home is Jiangnan, and the ancestral embroiderer is the best at Suzhou embroidery.

Relying on embroidery, the old lady supported a large family, and even provided for her youngest son to be admitted to the Jinshi.

The youngest son was assigned by the imperial court to the north to be an official, and he was grateful for his mother's kindness, so he took his widowed mother to take office together, so that the old mother could live the addiction of an old lady in an official family.

It's a pity that the old lady was blessed and didn't enjoy a few years of happiness, and the youngest son had an accident, leaving a lone seedling and going.

The old lady almost cried and went blind, but her daughter-in-law was sick and her little grandson was still young, so she could only grit her teeth to support the family.

After finishing her son's funeral, the old lady did not return to her hometown, but took her daughter-in-law and grandson to Qi County, and continued to support her family by embroidery.

In the original plot, Zhou Yaozu was taken to the gambling house by Xu Zhou, and after winning twice in a row, he thought he had found a way to make a fortune and fell into the trap of the gambling house.

Since the third time, Zhou Yaozu has been losing.

On this day, he lost all the money he had finally defrauded from Mrs. Tan, and he held back the fire in his stomach.

As soon as I got out of the gambling house, I saw an obscene middle-aged man holding a white and chubby little boy in his arms.

The little baby cried so hard that his cry could be heard half the way down the street.

However, it was getting late and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

Zhou Yaozu had just lost the money, and he was depressed in his heart, when he suddenly heard this piercing cry, he roared angrily: "The person in front, your mother is deaf!"

The lewd man was taken aback, turned his head to look at Zhou Yaozu, and saw his angry and vicious appearance, thinking that his deeds had been exposed, and he panicked in his heart.

As we said earlier, Zhou Yaozu is slightly chubby, and he is tall, so he looks very powerful.

Coupled with his vicious expression, he is more majestic than the fast hunting in the yamen.

"You old thief, look at it, Lao Tzu is talking about you! Why don't you hurry up and give Lao Tzu over!"

Zhou Yaozu was just unhappy, so he found someone who looked like a soft persimmon and pinched it, so that he could vent.

But the lewd man had a weak heart, and he felt that Zhou Yaozu was here to catch him, so he left the child in his arms and ran away alone.

Zhou Yaozu was a little dumbfounded.

But he was not stupid, and when he saw this scene, he instantly guessed that the person was a kidnapper.

He stepped forward and took a closer look at the child, and saw that although the clothes he was wearing were a little old, the material was excellent.

And the stitches are fine, and there are exquisite embroidery patterns, which only the rich and noble will be so exquisite.

Looking at the child in vain, you know that even if this child is not a child of a rich family, his family background should not be too bad.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yaozu hurriedly picked up the child and ran directly to the county office.

The child he saved was naturally the grandson of the old lady.

The beloved youngest son died, and the old lady put all her thoughts on the little grandson.

As a result, the little grandson was abducted, and the old lady even had the heart to die.

In fact, if Zhou Yaozu hadn't saved the child by mistake, the old lady and her daughter-in-law would have committed suicide.

Zhou Yaozu saved a child and saved two lives.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yaozu is such a scumbag and so superb, but he can still have two merits.

Heaven is extremely fair, even if Zhou Yaozu saved people unintentionally, but saving people is saving people, and he still recorded merit for him!

When the old lady learned that it was Zhou Yaozu who saved her grandson, she was very grateful and gave him all the silver she had, a full twenty taels.

Zhou Yaozu tasted the sweetness, and whenever he lost money, he would run to "borrow" from the old lady.

At first, the old lady thanked him for saving her life and "borrowed" it a few times.

But later, knowing that Zhou Yaozu was addicted to gambling, he knew that this Engong was a bottomless pit, and no amount of silver was enough for him to lose.

The old lady is indeed really grateful for Zhou Yaozu's kindness, but she still has to support her family and continue to support her little grandson to study, so she really doesn't have too much money to fill him.

The last time he gave Zhou Yaozu thirty taels of silver, the old lady quietly left Qi County with her family.

Anne recalled the original plot, and it seemed to be the day after tomorrow.

Anne counted the time, just right.

She decided that she would take her two sons to the field tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow she would go to the county seat to save the child, and then go to do something.

The next day, Anne got up early and woke up her two sons, and the three of them went back to work in the fields.

When passing by the field of the Zhou patriarch's house, Anne unexpectedly found that Zhou Yaoming was also wearing coarse cloth clothes and reluctantly working behind his brother.

Seeing this, Anne expressed her satisfaction.

After another day of work in the fields, Anne was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Not to mention the two brothers Zhou Xiande and Zhou Xiancheng, although the sun in late autumn is not so poisonous, it still has the power of an autumn tiger.

The two young boys, who were originally white, only had two days of hard work and their skin was red and bursting.

The soft palms of the two were also blistered, and the pain was so painful that they almost cried.

In the evening, Anne took a needle and burned the candles, and gave them one by one to burst the bubbles.

"Dad, it hurts~"

"Dad, it hurts, it hurts!"

The two finally couldn't help it anymore and began to cry.

Anne did not relent, and said lightly, "The farmer is like this, facing the land with his back to the sky, and working hard all year round may not be able to ensure the food and clothing of the family." ”

Zhou Xiande choked up and said, "Dad, I know you have good intentions, don't worry, I will study hard in the future." ”

"Well, I will also study hard and never dare to be lazy anymore. ”

Although reading is tiring, it is by no means so desperate as farming.

"You know it's not easy to read, and that's good. But when I go to school later, I still have to help my family. ”

Anne nodded with satisfaction and continued: "On weekdays, after school, I go to chop wood and carry water. When the farm is busy, it is also necessary to go to the field. ”

“...... Yes, father!" Zhou Xiande and Zhou Xiancheng hurriedly agreed, lest they would be too late to promise and would be dragged to work again tomorrow.

Seeing them like this, Anne couldn't help but chuckle, "Well, you've been tired for the past two days, so you won't have to go to the fields tomorrow." Go to school, remember, study hard!"

"Thank you Dad, we know. ”

The two teenagers hurriedly agreed.

Zhou Yufen in the middle, who was hungry twice yesterday, finally relented, crying and shouting to Anne "I was wrong, I know I was wrong", and then followed Anne to apologize to Zhou Yufang.

Today, Zhou Yufen changed into old clothes and followed behind Mrs. Tan, learning how to light a fire and how to cook.

Things at home are going in the direction Anne expected.

It was another morning, and Anne took a few taels of silver and hurried to the county seat.

Near the gambling house, she saw the depressed Xu Zhou, hehe, it is estimated that he already knows that "Zhou Yaozu" has dropped out of school.

And he should have searched the entire county, but he didn't find "Zhou Yaozu".

Xu Zhou teamed up with the gambling house to give Zhou Yaozu enough bait, but he didn't expect that the bait was eaten up and the fish ran away.

The people in the gambling house lost more than 100 taels of silver in vain, and they definitely couldn't spare Xu Zhou.

Looking at the bruises in the corners of Xu Zhou's eyes, it shouldn't have been caused by himself.

Not bad, very good!

Anne didn't think about revenge, she just wanted Xu Zhou to know that "when people walk by the river, how can they not get their shoes wet", thinking about calculating people, you must have the consciousness of being calculated.

Bypassing the gambling house, Anne didn't let Xu Zhou see herself.

Coming to the alley on the other side, Anne waited on the side of the road for half an hour when she saw a sneaky figure.

What I didn't say, one word: rush!

With three strikes and five divisions, Anne Liso subdued the crutches, untied the belt of the crutches, and tied him up.

Then, with the child in one hand and the crutches in the other, Anne went straight to the county office.

It wasn't long before Anne met the old lady and her sick daughter-in-law.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knelt directly to Anne, but Anne hurriedly dodged away. It's not that she doesn't support her, it's really that men and women don't kiss.

After the introduction, Anne knew that the old lady's surname was Lu, and her daughter-in-law was her niece.

Like in the original plot, Mrs. Lu wanted to thank Anne for the silver, but Anne refused.

"I just heard you know how to embroider, so do you mind teaching a few students?"

Anne was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm not asking you to give them the family skills, but to teach them some common stitching techniques, so that they can have a skill." ”

It is said that each other is born from the heart, although it is also the body of the original owner, but Anne, "Zhou Yaozu", looks like a righteous gentleman with bright and clear eyes.

Mrs. Lu was well-informed, and she could see at a glance that the scholar opposite her was a frank and upright person, and she had a good impression of him.

Hearing that Anne said that she didn't want silver, she wanted to ask her to teach a few students, but Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's okay to teach, but I can't guarantee that I will teach them all." ”

As for the ancestral stunt, Mrs. Lu looked at her sick niece and smiled bitterly: She and her niece are the only ones left in the Lu family, and the niece is a sick man, and she has no talent for embroidery, so she can't follow this craft at all.

Mrs. Lu had already thought about embroidering for two more years to save some money.

Her eyes were dying, so she accepted a spiritual apprentice, so as not to let the Lu family's embroidery skills be lost.

If the benefactor's children can be talented, then she will teach them directly, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

After discussing the time and method of the professor, Anne said goodbye to Mrs. Lu, and she went to buy some pastries and went to Liu's house.

Anyway, the Liu family is Zhou Yaozu's father-in-law, "mother-in-law is sick", knowing that it may be fake, she should also take a look.

After all, it is still the same sentence, no matter what purpose the Liu family has for marrying Zhou Yaozu, it is true that Zhou Yaozu accepted the funding of the Liu family, and she must inherit the favor of the Liu family.

"You're really not going to the academy?"

Master Liu was a little disappointed and asked lightly.

"It's the same if you don't go, it's the same when you study at home. Father-in-law, rest assured, I will not give up the imperial examination. ”

Anne said solemnly.

Facing Anne's deep and calm eyes, Master Liu's eyes flickered, "Okay, you can do what you want." Jade Niang, I'll tell her. ”

Anne nodded, went to visit her mother-in-law again, said a few words to Liu, and left.

"Dad, you also told him, but he still insists on not going to the academy. I heard that he actually went to the ground in the past two days, "It's obviously a broken jar."

Liu Shi was a little anxious, gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, I, I still want to-" and leave.

She doesn't want to be a peasant woman, and she doesn't want to be laughed at by her brothers and sisters.

Master Liu shook his head, "I see that Yaozu is not the same as in the past, and today he gives me a very unusual feeling." I have a hunch that he's going to have a good time!"

Moreover, even if Zhou Yaozu really couldn't support Adou, their Liu family couldn't turn their faces immediately.

has been invested for more than ten years, and the Liu family has also given birth to three children, which is by no means a way to say that reconciliation can be reconciled.

Unless Zhou Yaozu is infected with a bad habit and there is really no cure, the Liu family will completely give up on him.

Now, he'll need to watch and see.

"It's okay to leave if you don't get along, but I don't want to go back to Zhou's house. ”
