"What's so polite?" Aunt Gu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Hongzhu's appearance, and asked curiously, "What do you want me to help with, just ask." ”

Hongzhu told them that they wanted to rent her sister's yard, and said: "This is what the second aunt said, saying that I heard the eldest aunt mention it before, and now I don't know if the yard of my ancient aunt's house is still rented? After my family came out of the Zhu family, my mother and I had to go to the restaurant every morning and evening to work and make a living, and my younger brother wanted to study. ”

Aunt Gu thought about it for a while after hearing this, and said, "I know your family, and my sister also knows." There's nothing inappropriate or inappropriate. I look at my sister's yard, and she doesn't make up her mind whether to rent it or not, but if she changes to your house to live, she will definitely be willing. Not to mention whether she earns that money or not, her man runs outside □□ months a year, and the yard is very clean, and she has no place to run, and sometimes she wants to have someone close to her to talk to. ”

Hongzhu knew that Aunt Gu was here, and immediately smiled: "I knew that Aunt Gu loved me." I have to bother my aunt to lead me to see my aunt, first, to ask clearly, and second, to let my aunt say good things to me. ”

"Yes, you have to go and see the courtyard first, and if the two families agree, I'll go for a trip as a middleman." Aunt Gu said with a smile.

"Oh, there will be no shortage of the eldest lady's red envelope. Hongzhu joked along with her words, and set a time with Aunt Gu to see the yard tomorrow, and gossiped a few words, Hongzhu looked at the time, and asked: "Auntie, why haven't you seen Sister Da Niu for so long, isn't she at home?"

Aunt Gu drank hot tea and replied, "She, I've gone to the embroidery workshop." Speaking of her daughter from home, Aunt Gu smiled on her face, "Da Niu and Biyun are the best, this time Biyun got married, I think she is happy and worried...... Today, I asked her if she wanted to go to Zhu's house together, but she said that if she went, she was afraid that she would cry, so she didn't go. You don't know, the master in the embroidery workshop took a fancy to her and said that he wanted her to learn like a needle!"

"If the needle?"

"But it's not!" Aunt Gu looked proud, relying on that little bit of wine, her expression was even more flying, "Hongzhu, you have never liked these, I'm afraid you don't know, right?" From ancient times to the present, this embroidery has only been embroidered by Hui, Su embroidery, let's go to the court, there is only this Ruoshen needle, and now it has been passed down for two generations...... Your eldest sister likes to ponder this, and she has learned by herself before, but in the end, it can't compare to this time when the master recognizes her, that is the way to see it. ”

Speaking of this embroidery work, Hongzhu really doesn't know anything, and Li has said that she has been back a lot. In the female red needlework, although Li is not proficient, but also much better than others, she was invited to teach the master at home when she was a child, and she is literate in the end, and she has read a few poetry books, which can be regarded as edifying some leisure. Hongzhu sometimes looks at her embroidery work, which is a little more vivid than those ordinary colors and layouts. The patterns painted by the Li family, the girls and daughters-in-law near the south of the city also came to beg. Li's health is not good, so he can't do any rough work, so he used to earn some pocket money by selling some embroidery work.

The Li family has such a foundation, how can he not teach his daughter after raising him. It's just that she only gave birth to one Hongzhu back then, and was pampered by Cheng Guitang as a daughter and raised as a son, and the Li family also had less time to get along with her daughter, so this female red was just looking for a little empty teaching. Later, Cheng Guitang went unexpectedly, but his daughter changed her soul.

At that time, the situation of the Cheng family, Hongzhu could not live the life of the family if she didn't hold it up, and the Li family had the heart to teach her daughter embroidery. And Hongzhu didn't care about this needlework at all, but later Li remembered to let her learn two needles, Hongzhu either said that she was tired or sleepy, and kept delaying it. Li thought that Hongzhu was still working at the breakfast stall to earn money at that time, and she couldn't bear to embarrass her when she was tired, so he let Hongzhu fool this school girl Hong.

Now that she has opened a restaurant, even the Li family doesn't chase her too much to learn embroidery. Hongzhu was glad to see her like this, and she wouldn't say that she wanted to learn.

So when Aunt Gu talked about this magic needle, Hongzhu only vaguely heard it and felt familiar, and she didn't know what was going on.

Seeing that she was ignorant, Aunt Gu scolded her with a smile: "What kind of girl are you, don't say whether you embroider well or not, but you don't even understand what stitching methods are, isn't it a joke to spread out?" But just like her, she can bluff people when she takes it to the embroidery workshop. She is not a teacher, but if she embroiders it and passes the master's eyes, she can get a few thousand for a job, and if she really has that good, she can even get a tael of silver!"

Hongzhu doesn't know what the market for embroidery is, but her mother Li often embroiders a purse, and the ordinary one gets a few dozen dollars, and the good one is only one or two hundred dollars at most, which can't be compared with the big girl.

Hongzhu was surprised in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "How much can the master embroidered in the embroidery workshop sell?"

Aunt Gu shook her head and said: "Let's be like this, the obedient disciple of the god needle is in the Shangpin embroidery workshop in the capital, if it is her embroidered purse, I am afraid it will have to be sold for one or two hundred taels." ”

Hongzhu has to be admired, this is the top luxury in ancient times. She was interested in her heart, and immediately took the handkerchief to see, only to see that the pale lake green handkerchief was embroidered with a bowl of lotus pictures, not big or small to occupy a corner, the red beads looked at the stitch, only to feel fine and continuous, lifelike, a small lotus flower color is afraid to use seven or eight, the embroidery thread is also thin, hold it in the hand and touch it like a cloud, without the slightest discomfort, if you don't know that the bowl of lotus is embroidered, she should also be printed on the cloth of this cloth, it is really a miracle.

"It turns out that this is Ruoshen needle...... Hongzhu sighed, took it in his hand and looked at it more, but somehow, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this embroidery was a little familiar, and he was puzzled, and he couldn't help but say it in his mouth, "Auntie, how do I think this handkerchief is a little familiar......

Aunt Gu glanced at her angrily, and scolded with a smile: "Do you think it's familiar? That means that your mother can still remember a few points of your mother's teachings in the past." This water lily picture is the stunt of Ruoshen needle, and the girl is holding the appearance to imitate. You've heard your mother mention it. ”

Hongzhu thought about it, it seemed that Li had really mentioned such a thing, but she didn't feel familiar, she felt familiar...... I always felt that she had seen such a water lily picture before, and that appearance was a little more delicate than that of the big girl, but where she saw it, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Aunt Gu said again: "This water lily picture is really embroidered, and there is even a picture on the back, saying that it is a scene on one side, and there is love everywhere...... The best ones can only be embroidered by the embroidery workshops in the capital. The big girl is still shallow, and she can't embroider double-sided, so she can only fool people like this. ””

Hongzhu looked at the back of the picture, and sure enough, he didn't see anything, but he still praised with admiration: "Sister Da Niu can have this skill, and she is already thousands of times stronger than me." She has the kung fu in her hands, and she is willing to put in the heart, and in time, she will be able to embroider. ”

Aunt Gu was even happier when she heard this, but she was still modest and said, "Don't praise her so much, I'm afraid that I won't be crazy if I hear it." This skill can't be proud and slack...... "Probably because I'm afraid of Hongzhu thinking too much, Aunt Gu said: "She is not as good as you, Hongzhu you have the ability to make money, so Hongzhu is very good if you don't want to take a needle......"

Hongzhu is only happy for the ancient lady and the girl, as an ancient woman can get a skill, whether it is in the mother's house or to the husband's house is excellent. But if she was replaced, she would not want to learn such a delicate job of needlework. Therefore, Aunt Gu later agreed with what she said in her heart.

After a few more jokes, Aunt Gu let Hongzhu go back, and it was not safe on the road to save it late.

Hongzhu was blown by the cold wind on the way back, and suddenly remembered when she had seen the water lily picture...... Thinking of this, she ran quickly to the house.
