Shen Zhuo completely annoyed Gu Sanniang, half a month has passed, Gu Sanniang not only didn't say a word to Shen Zhuo, but even occasionally bumped into him in the courtyard, her eyelids never lifted.

Shen Zhuo was very distressed about this, but he also lost his courtesy, and Aunt Qin also persuaded him, no matter what it was, Gu Sanniang's face was always faint, and the two families were no longer as harmonious as before, but fortunately, the children still played together as usual.

In fact, Gu Sanniang was angry with Shen Zhuo this time, not because she was pretentious, that day Shen Zhuo misunderstood her on the one hand, and on the other hand, she still took care of her own reputation, since that time Zhang Jinsuo talked nonsense in front of many people, although the neighbors didn't believe his words, but every time they saw her and Shen Zhuo, everyone often looked at them with meaningful eyes, Gu Sanniang thought to herself, she still had to be assigned by someone to do her duty, if she got closer to Shen Zhuo, she was afraid that the spitting stars could drown her, rather than this, the two families might as well be far away, It's just that Aunt Qin made peace on both sides before, in order to avoid her old man's embarrassment, Gu Sanniang had to go out early and return late every day, so these days, she hasn't met Shen Zhuo for a long time.

However, even if Gu Sanniang was cold and clumsy, she did not prevent the two children from coming and going, and on weekdays, when the royal brother was idle, he would still run to the West Chamber to find Xiao Yezi Naughty, he was a little person, and he didn't know where he heard that Gu Sanniang was angry with his father, and often when no one was around, he quietly asked Gu Sanniang when he would be angry, Gu Sanniang was secretly funny, and inevitably perfunctory a few words to him.

Xiao Yezi is slightly older than Brother Yu'er, and when her uncle came to make trouble that day, she looked at it one by one, and heard that Uncle paid attention to her mother and Shen Zhuo's uncleanness, she hated Uncle at the same time, but also made Shen Zhuo angry, even Brother Yu She didn't have a good face, Brother Yu was implicated for no reason, and his heart was puzzled and wronged, in this alley, Xiao Yezi was the best for him, if she didn't get along with him, who would he look for, fortunately, Brother Yu had a bit of energy, even if Xiao Yezi ignored him, he also took the initiative to get up, After a few days, Xiao Yezi was embarrassed, and with Gu Sanniang's persuasion, Xiao Yezi reconciled with Brother Yu again.

It's just that Xiao Yezi still ignores Shen Zhuo, she was originally learning to read with Shen Zhuo, for this matter, she didn't even go to the East Chamber, Shen Zhuo saw that she hadn't arrived for several days, so he brought a message to Xiao Yezi, saying that reading and reading could not be done halfway, Gu Sanniang also said that the affairs of adults have nothing to do with children, Xiao Yezi sulked for a few days, and then awkwardly returned to the Wushu School to study.

As for Wang Jinsuo and his wife, the two of them were beaten that day, and they didn't get half a penny, but they were injured, these two people wanted to find Gu Sanniang again, but they were afraid of Qin Lin's catch, and then Gu Sanniang forgot who he heard about, the silver money in the hands of Wang Jinsuo and his wife was exhausted, and they left the county with a big pillar in a disgraced manner, as for the future, she didn't know.

In the blink of an eye, it entered the wax moon, a few days ago, Gu Sanniang received a piece of pine crane longevity of the twelve folding screen embroidery, the buyer is the state capital's thorn Shi Lord, it is said that this screen is to give a congratulatory gift to his top boss, is to Guan Yongwang received the job, very solemnly called Gu Sanniang, just to draw Gu Sanniang took a lot of thought, that Guan Yongwang repeatedly told Gu Sanniang not to be sloppy, never to smash the signboard of Jin's embroidery village.

The difficulty of this embroidery work is not small, the steward of the Thorn Shi family's family is urgent, and has put forward many requirements, the embroidery girls in the embroidery room do not dare to take it lightly, if the embroidery screen is completed, the reward is considerable, so although the time is a little tight, Gu Sanniang is still happy to take it.

Just because she had to rush to work, Gu Sanniang worked very hard, for which she didn't even take over private work, just in order to embroider this job wholeheartedly, the rules of their embroidery village, completed every day, and the embroidery work was handed over to the housekeeper of the embroidery village for safekeeping.

On this day, before dawn, Gu Sanniang got up, after she washed and combed, she steamed the food in the pot, Xiao Yezi heard the sound outside and was about to get up, Gu Sanniang went into the room with an oil lamp, she saw Xiao Yezi woke up, and said in her mouth: "It's still early, you can sleep again, the food has been steamed in the pot, and after eating, I obediently went to follow Shen Juren to read and write." ”

Xiao Yezi saw that it was still dark outside the window, and said: "It's not dawn, and my mother can't work when she goes to the embroidery village, so you can rest more." ”

"Don't get in the way, when I get to the embroidery village, it should be dark." Gu Sanniang pressed Xiao Yezi back into the quilt, Xiao Yezi was completely sleepy, she turned her head to look at the thin figure under the lamp, and didn't feel that the root of her nose was a little sour, Gu Sanniang sorted out the things in the burden by the lamp, she didn't take private work these days, and the family was short of a lot of income, all relying on her to make some connections to subsidize the family, fortunately, her embroidery of the pine crane was about to be completed, and the reward she received was enough for her and Xiao Yezi to have a good New Year.

"Mother, you put this envelope at home, and after I finish reading during the day, I will take it to the shopkeeper's house for you, so that you don't have to bother to send it over." Xiao Yezi said.

Gu Sanniang tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and said: "No need, I stay at home for a long time, if you get out of class, or stay at home, or go to your Aunt Xiaoyue's house, don't walk outside at will." ”

Gu Sanniang is cautious, she thinks that the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, she and Wang Jinsuo's family tore their faces, who knows if Wang Jinsuo will jump over the wall in a hurry to harm her and Xiao Yezi, and there are many more people in the county town in the next year, and she will detain Xiao Yezi at home these days.

Xiao Yezi is also considerate, she said: "Mother, don't worry, I will stay at home honestly." ”

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Gu Sanniang touched the top of her head with a smile and asked, "What words have you learned from Shen Juren recently, but do you remember them?" ”

Speaking of this little Yezi, she couldn't help but smile, she said: "Earlier, it was good to recognize four or five words a day, but now I recognize more than ten words a day, Uncle Shen said that I am smarter than his male students." ”

When Gu Sanniang heard this, she said with a smile: "It's a pity that all the students who are admitted to study are brothers, otherwise my son can also come back with a female champion!" ”

Xiao Yezi shyly covered her face into the quilt, and Gu Sanniang said to her again: "Your Uncle Shen teaches you to read and read without charging us half a pen, and he has to paste some pen, ink and paper, you have to follow him well, my mother just looks at you and you don't open your eyes and be blind, and when I am idle in a few days, I will make a suit of clothes, shoes and socks for Brother Yu'er to thank them." ”

Among the children in the countryside, not to mention the sister, even the serious brother is rare to have a few who go to school, Gu Sanniang has lived in the county for a few years, and she can be regarded as having a little more knowledge, she heard that some people with good family backgrounds, even the sister has to invite a female student to teach reading and literacy, if there is no chance, it is just that, now Shen is willing to teach, she is full of joy.

On the same day, Xiao Yezi was brought to the county seat, she had to go to work on weekdays, where could she take care of her, Xiao Yezi was used to being unrestrained in the countryside, except for a royal brother after coming here, he had not made half a playmate around him, and soon Shen Zhuo opened a museum to teach, and the royal brother was detained by his father to study, Xiao Yezi became more and more lonely, that Shen Zhuo was a soft-hearted person, he saw that she had no one to accompany him, so he accepted this female disciple, this is also because she is young, and when she is older, it is no longer possible.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, there was a glimmer of light outside the window, Gu Sanniang watched Xiao Yezi fall asleep, went to the kitchen to drink half a bowl of bud rice porridge, and then opened the courtyard door with her baggage, not wanting her to meet Shen Zhuo head-on, it was still early in the morning, and there was no one else, so Gu Sanniang was slightly surprised when she saw Shen Zhuo, this Shen Zhuo was carrying a load of water on his shoulder, Gu Sanniang glanced at it casually, he staggered along the way, and half of the two buckets of water had already been spilled.

Shen Zhuo put down the burden on his shoulders, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and greeted Gu Sanniang in his mouth: "Gu Niangzi, did you go out so early." ”

Gu Sanniang secretly slandered herself, she was early every day, and it was not the first time, but he was a man, he had never gotten up early, and he didn't know which crazy he was smoking today.

Shen Zhuo saw that she didn't speak, and then said: "Get up early and the road is slippery, you watch your step." ”

After that, he turned sideways and got out of the way, Gu Sanniang lowered her eyes, passed by him, Shen Zhuo stood in place, and watched her figure gradually disappear at the entrance of the alley, and then picked up the water again and returned to the courtyard.

And said that when Gu Sanniang arrived at the embroidery village, the sky had just brightened, and today she was the first to arrive, after entering the embroidery room, Gu Sanniang went to get her own things first, and the guy who kept the embroidery yawned and said: "Gu Niangzi, isn't it almost finished, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Gu Sanniang replied with a smile: "If I finish the embroidery as soon as possible, I can also have a heart." ”

The man handed her things, Gu Sanniang took the things into the embroidery room, the light in the room was not very bright, Gu Sanniang stretched the embroidery cloth on the embroidery machine, and calmed down and was busy with work.

Unconsciously, Gu Sanniang has been embroidering for most of the day, it is rare to embroider all the white cranes on the embroidered cloth, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and rubbed her neck, at this time, the curtain of the embroidery room was beaten, and two embroiderers walked into the two embroidery girls from outside, they saw Gu Sanniang sitting in front of the embroidery machine early, so they walked to Gu Sanniang's side and unfolded the embroidery cloth to look carefully, one of the embroidery girls smiled and praised: "At that time, when Uncle Yongwang took over this job for you, I was still thinking in my heart, I was afraid that this silver money was not easy to get, and I still asked you to embroider it in the end." ”

The other said with envy on his face: "With such a fine stitch, among our embroiderers, only Sanniang can be regarded as the first one." ”

Gu Sanniang smiled, she said: "Among the new sisters who came at the beginning of the year, Xiaohong is the most motivated, and her color scheme is also very bold, and her reputation will definitely spread in less than two years." ”

The three of them said a few words, Gu Sanniang rolled up the embroidery cloth again, and the two embroiderers were going to get things, and it happened that Gu Sanniang's embroidery thread ran out, so the three of them went out together.

Embroidery village regardless of a stitch and thread, when receiving the end of the registration note, Gu Sanniang took a few colors of missing embroidery thread, and followed the two embroidery girls back to the embroidery room, she walked behind, has not entered the house, she heard the embroidery in front of the scream, Gu Sanniang's heart jumped, she came in to see, only to see her embroidery machine, the embroidery work that was about to be completed was cut to pieces and thrown all over the ground.
