304. Chapter 304: Door-to-door Proposal
"Everyone's worked hard. Leng Xiaoxi greeted everyone with a smile.
"Xi Niangzi, please come in. The crowd greeted warmly.
Tian Min's workbench was in the innermost part of the courtyard, and when Leng Xiaoxi came in, Tian Min greeted him.
"Xi Niangzi, last night, I went to the home of the embroidery workers to ask, people heard that they were going to work for you, they were all happy, no, no, they will come over later. ”
Tian Min's words fell, and four or five women walked in outside the courtyard, talking and laughing.
"Xi Niangzi, look, they are here. Tian Min greeted him as he spoke.
"You're all here! This is the Xi lady I told you. ”
"You're Xi Niangzi, you look so smart, and you're so young. ”
In everyone's cognition, Xi Niangzi must be a very old person, who would have thought that Xi Niangzi was only sixteen years old.
After a few words of greeting, Leng Xiaoxi got to the point.
"I heard Tian Min say, your embroidery is good?"
"Yes, that's what we think, Xi Niangzi, you still have to watch it, isn't it. There was a tall woman in the middle of him who spoke.
"I love to hear this, and then you will show me your unique skills. ”
Leng Xiaoxi said with a smile and found a place to sit down, recently, this body has really sunk.
Seeing Leng Xiaoxi sitting down, Qiu Lian hurriedly poured out a bowl of red bean soup from the clay pot and handed it to Xiaoxi.
"Xiaoxi, drink some red bean soup. ”
Qiu Lian took such care of her, which made the gang of ladies envious.
"Xiaoxi, is this your mother-in-law?" someone asked.
Looking up, Leng Xiaoxi glanced at Qiu Lian and smiled, "She is not my mother-in-law, but I really want to have such a good mother-in-law, she is my aunt." ”
Leng Xiaoxi replied like this, Qiu Lian's heart warmed, followed by a touch of loss.
You must know that she is indeed Leng Xiaoxi's mother-in-law, her mother-in-law, and now, she can only pretend to be her servant.
It's not that Qiu Lian doesn't mind her identity, but she really wants to, she really wants Leng Xiaoxi to call her mother-in-law in person, and Ji Bo clearly calls her mother-in-law, so that even if she dies, she will be blind.
However, she didn't know if she could see this day, and besides, she didn't want to have such a day.
Because, as long as Ji Boming calls his mother, that is when Ji Boming's life experience is revealed to the world.
In that way, Ji Boming and Leng Xiaoxi's life will not be so peaceful.
After the assessment, Leng Xiaoxi selected four of the six embroiderers, and Leng Xiaoxi also kept them because the embroidery was not good.
The embroidery is not good, they can make shoes, and they don't need to be so skilled embroiderers to make shoes, but they are better than those with thick lines.
Tian Min asked the opinions of the two people who were not selected, and although they were in a lost mood, they could think that they could stay here to make money, so they happily agreed to stay.
Then, Leng Xiaoxi drew drawings and designed a few beautiful shoe looks.
"It's so beautiful, Xi Niangzi didn't expect your painting to be so good. Everyone passed on to each other, coughing and admiring.
Being praised by others, Leng Xiaoxi was naturally happy, and at the same time thought, what is this!
The appearance of women's shoes was painted in several ways, and she also discussed with Tian Min about the way of cutting, the toe of women's shoes is very pointed, so the lower scissors should be reversed as much as possible in cutting, so that some leather can be saved.
Tian Min is a smart person, he belongs to the kind of person who can understand a little, Tian Min learned, so he led Leng Xiaoxi to meet a few women who she thought could be like her and could cut.
After another assessment, Leng Xiaoxi agreed to think about these people on the case and let them go.
However, she still told them that if there was something they didn't understand, ask Tian Min more.
These people agreed, and Leng Xiaoxi began to draw a new picture of men's shoes.
Modern men's shoes pay attention to a variety of styles, what suit shoes, casual shoes, these styles in ancient times, it seems that they are not very useful, but they always make some single, similar to our modern Beijing cloth shoes, and the appearance of old shoes is too old-fashioned.
Therefore, Leng Xiaoxi thought about it, she preliminarily drew a few pictures of the toe toe is a little wider, the foot will not be clamped in the shoe, and the upper is closed in a little, and the boat-shaped upper is added to the style of a tooth, try it first.
The color of the shoes has also changed from a single black to some dark brown, black and brown combinations.
After Leng Xiaoxi's adjustment, there is a feeling that is eye-catching.
Shoes, Leng Xiaoxi also asked someone to make some brown ones, and waited at the counter to see the reaction of the customers.
After doing this, Sanya led Leng Xiaoxi to see the shoes made in the warehouse.
Leng Xiaoxi walked into the warehouse and saw that the room was full of pairs of shoes.
No shoe size is put together separately, and the sole of no shoe is written on the sole like our modern one.
Leng Xiaoxi was very satisfied when he saw this.
"Qiu Lian, please go back, call Yang Hu and Yang Leopard, come and count these shoes and load them, and in the evening, we will return." ”
Qiu Lian agreed and went back.
Leng Xiaoxi asked Sanya: "Sanya, is your father at home?"
"Didn't my dad herd cattle in the mountains?"
"Oh. As soon as Sanya said this, Leng Xiaoxi couldn't help but suddenly, how could she forget that Sanya's father was with Tian Qingfu and was taken into custody to herd cattle.
"What about your mother?" Leng Xiaoxi asked.
"My mother, where is my mother. Sanya stretched out her hand and pointed to the shoemaker who was sandwiched between the ladies.
"Mother, come here, Xi Niangzi has something to do with you. Without waiting for Leng Xiaoxi to speak, Sanya called her mother excitedly.
When Sanya's mother saw Sanya calling her, she quickly put down the work in her hand and walked over with a smile.
"Xi Niangzi, are you looking for me?"
"Let's go into the house, I'll tell you something. Leng Xiaoxi is concerned about Sun Lu and Sanya's marriage, and she has made up her mind about this matchmaker.
Seeing Leng Xiaoxi's serious appearance, the third girl quickly let Leng Xiaoxi into the house.
And now, although the house of Sanya's family is still so small, it has obviously greatly improved economically.
The new quilt on the kang and the newly bought dining table on the floor in the house exude a woody fragrance and shine brightly.
Seeing Leng Xiaoxi and his mother coming in, Sanya hurriedly followed, made tea with his hands and feet, and brought it to Leng Xiaoxi.
"Xi Niangzi, you drink tea, I'll go outside to work. ”
"Sanya, don't leave yet, what I talked about with your mother has something to do with you. ”
As a modern person, Leng Xiaoxi is very unaccustomed to those ancient etiquette, marriage is a major event in a woman's life, so Leng Xiaoxi feels that Sanya has the right to decide her own marriage.
Therefore, she wants to leave Sanya here, and at the same time, she wants to hear Sanya's opinion.
Sanya and Sanyaniang, seeing that Leng Xiaoxi was so solemn, it seemed that they had something important to talk about, so they were both very dignified.
"Xiaoxi, did Sanya do something wrong, or did you not want Sanya to be responsible?"
The third girl asked Leng Xiaoxi worriedly.
Sanya listened to her mother talk like this, and she was also nervous, she has been busy with a sense of accomplishment recently, and at the same time she is really dedicated, every account, every tael of silver, she has not spent it wrong.
"No, I came today to give our General Sun, and to your family's Sanya. ”
Leng Xiaoxi felt that if he didn't tell the truth sooner, he would be in a hurry to make the two of them anxious.
"What, General Sun, propose marriage to our three ya?"
What Leng Xiaoxi said, Sanya and Sanya Niang were very surprised, you must know that if Sanya really married the general, it would be a high incense in the previous life.
Besides, this matchmaker is still the famous Xi Niangzi.
"Sanya, don't think about it seriously just because I mentioned this marriage, this is a major event in your life. ”
After Leng Xiaoxi finished speaking, he turned his face to look at Sanya Niang and said: "That General Sun has a very good character, I dare to guarantee this, last night, I asked General Sun in person, and he said that if Sanya agrees, he will agree." ”
"Xi Niangzi, that General Sun, is it General Sun who drank tea with Tian Qingfu last night?"
As soon as Leng Xiaoxi said this, last night, the smart Sanya naturally thought of last night.
"That's right, that General Sun, you went to see with your own eyes, do you think General Sun is okay?"
Leng Xiaoxi asked bluntly on Sanya's face.
When Sanya was asked by Leng Xiaoxi, two blushes immediately flew on her face, and she bowed her head in shame.
"The marriage of children, the parents are in charge, if my mother and father agree, I have nothing to say. ”
Hahaha, Sanya's shameful performance, do you need to talk about it? She clearly agreed.
After all, Sanya Niang is a person from the past, and the appearance of her own daughter, she naturally has the bottom in her heart.
However, after all, Sanya's marriage is a major event, and besides, she is not at home in charge, even if Sanya is already willing in her heart, she must leave room for her mouth.
"Xi Niangzi, it's not that I want to refute your face, this matter, when the third father comes back, let's discuss it and I'll give you a reply. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, good things have to be grinded more, let you all think about this matter, after all, it is a major event in life. ”
Leng Xiaoxi took a sip of tea, sat down for a while, and after chatting a few words, she made Sanya angry, she settled the account with Sanya, and after reading the account book, she took out five hundred taels of silver to Sanya.
Ask her to buy some materials for making shoes, as well as labor costs.
Sanya put away the five hundred taels of silver, her face was still red, and her eyes were bright.
Obviously, this child is satisfied with this marriage, and Leng Xiaoxi has a bottom in his heart.
At this moment, the voice of a man speaking was heard outside.
Leng Xiaoxi could hear that Yang Hu and Yang Leopard were here, and Sun Lu was also here.
"Sanya, let's go out, points. ”
