When Gu Sanniang arrived at the embroidery village, it was already a moment late, the embroidery village was in the east of the county, there was a meal away from Qin Da Niang's house, the owner of the embroidery village was surnamed Jin, the people in the county were called Jin's embroidery village, Jin's had an original embroidery art, embroidery was exclusively for royal use, of course, this embroidery art was not passed on to outsiders, just because it was a royal offering, the reputation of Jin's embroidery was well known, and there were those rich and noble people, non-Jin's embroidery was not used.

The housekeeper of Xiuzhuang is called Guan Yongwang, who is in his forties and is very generous, and when he saw Gu Sanniang coming, he was taken aback, and then said: "I only need a few days before you can go to work, why did you rush over today." ”

Since I learned that Gu Sanniang and her man died, Guan Yongwang thought that she was afraid that she would not be able to do this errand for a long time, and now seeing her come so early, Guan Yongwang only thought that she was here to quit her job, Gu Sanniang has worked in Jin's embroidery village for seven or eight years, she has always been honest, and her embroidery skills are first-class and good, if she leaves, Guan Yongwang is still a little reluctant, their embroidery village embroiderers have a lot of money per month, but it is not so easy to find someone with good craftsmanship.

Gu Sanniang said: "My screen with rich flowers is only halfway embroidered, if it drags on any longer, I don't know when it will be completed." ”

When Guan Yongwang heard this, his heart moved, he thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Have you taken care of your man's funeral?" What are your plans now? ”

Gu Sanniang's face was gloomy, she briefly told Guan Yongwang what happened at home, Guan Yongwang heard what happened to her, on the one hand, he was secretly happy, on the other hand, he was sympathetic, he was happy that Gu Sanniang would not quit his job, but he pitied her for her poor life.

"Everyone has his own life, and this is also a matter of imposing a child, so you have to look away." Guan Yongwang said to her.

Gu Sanniang smiled bitterly, what if she didn't want to open it, if she really couldn't open it, she would have died in front of Wang Jinsuo's door.

"Uncle Aeon, I'll go in first." Gu Sanniang said to Guan Yongwang and went inside.

This embroidery village is very large, the back is the warehouse, the front of the east chamber of several rooms opened, is the best place in the embroidery village, embroidery girls embroider every day from morning to night, a month can rest for a day, like Gu Sanniang such an embroidery, there are two dollars of silver per month, she will also take some odd jobs on weekdays, but also sell to the embroidery village by piece, in addition to the daily use every month, scattered can save two or three dollars of silver.

At this hour, the embroidery girls have already started work, everyone is concentrating on bowing their heads to work, Gu Sanniang has been in for a long time, and no one has noticed it, until a girl with a round face looks up and threads her to see her.

"Sanniang, are you here?" When the girl saw her, she pinned the embroidery needle to the cuff, and she saw that Gu Sanniang was a little in good spirits, so she didn't ask anything, but said, "Your face is not very good, why don't you rest at home for a few more days." ”

The sisters of Xiuzhuang all knew that Gu Sanniang had just died of a man, and they also guessed that she would probably not come out to work again, so when they saw her at this time, everyone stopped what they were doing and asked her for warmth.

There was only a thin woman sitting in front of the embroidery frame and not moving, she saw the big guy surrounding Gu Sanniang, frowned and said: "It's just lazy and slippery, why are you still noisy and disturbing others?" ”

This woman's surname is Liu, her husband's surname is Song, she lives in the county seat, because she is the oldest, the embroidery girls call her Song sister-in-law, she is longer than Gu Sanniang in the Jin's embroidery village, originally her man also worked in the embroidery village, a few years ago fell from a high place, half of the body was paralyzed, lying on the bed and unable to move, there are three children at home, the family all rely on Song's sister-in-law to be an embroidery girl to support, but her man has become suspicious since he was paralyzed, and he has never had good words for Song's sister-in-law, this Song sister-in-law has to support her family outside, The house was rubbed by her husband, and her temperament became more and more eccentric.

Two years ago, Ning Wangye of Ping'an Prefecture married his daughter, and ordered a hundred children in Jin's embroidery village, if he could embroider a dowry for the county lord, that is, he had face and reward, and the embroidery girls in the embroidery village wanted to take over the job, and then Guan Yongwang gave this job to Gu Sanniang, since then, Song's sister-in-law has a prejudice against Gu Sanniang, Gu Sanniang has always avoided her, fortunately, the work in the embroidery village is all done separately, so it is peaceful, who knows that today she just saw Gu Sanniang, and provoked a thorn.

The round-faced girl, her name is Xiaohong, she just entered the embroidery village for less than two years, when she came, Gu Sanniang taught her a lot of things, because although the two are separated by several years, their temperaments are the most similar, she felt sorry for Gu Sanniang, so she said: "Sanniang is uncomfortable, our sister is just comforting him a few words, where will delay Sister-in-law Song, you will get rich." ”

"If you don't feel comfortable, you can go to the house and guard the man, and still show your face outside, what are you doing?" Song's sister-in-law stabbed Gu Sanniang with her heart, and her words were also weird.

Gu Sanniang sneered, she said, "Your man won't let you show up, you have come out, but you have to worry about others." ”

Although Gu Sanniang said that she was good, she would not blindly swallow her anger, otherwise, she would not go to Wang Jinsuo to reason with a kitchen knife. People respect her, she respects people, this sister-in-law Song is interested in finding fault, if she retreats again, she will only be asked to gain an inch.

That sister-in-law Song was so angry by Gu Sanniang's words that her face turned red, she couldn't do anything after her man was paralyzed, she always suspected that she was stealing men outside, and wanted to trap her at home, but unfortunately Lao Tzuniang didn't earn thousands of family fortunes, so the monthly money issued every month was saved by her man, almost everyone knew that Song's sister-in-law's man didn't treat her as a person, this matter was originally a matter of Song's sister-in-law's mind, and now it was taken out by Gu Sanniang in public, and Song's sister-in-law stood up suddenly, and scolded Gu Sanniang: "I still have a man, You are a widow, and the man has just been dead for a few days and has gone out for a walk, and I advise you to know some shame as well. ”

Gu Sanniang's face sank, she stared at Sister-in-law Song, and said, "Sister-in-law Song, tell me how shameless I am, if you don't say that you are ugly today, I will only chase you to your house and ask Brother Song." ”

Usually women always have a quarrel, but Sister-in-law Song's words are really a little too much, and someone said in a round game: "Forget it, the sisters who work in a house should take a step back." ”

At this time, a grandmother dressed in a bikini came in, and when she saw the commotion in the room, she said in a deep voice, "It's noon, how many stitches have you embroidered?" If you are playing tricks, you might as well get out of the work. ”

When everyone saw that the housekeeper was coming, they each returned to the embroidery frame, and Gu Sanniang glanced at Sister-in-law Song and said, "I also advise my sister-in-law, don't be pickled in your own thoughts, just think that everyone else is the same as you." ”

After saying this, Gu Sanniang went back to her embroidery frame, but she sat for most of the day, her body was still trembling with anger, her arms were also sore and soft, and she didn't even have the strength to hold a needle.

Secretly depressed for a long time, Gu Sanniang became more and more dizzy, she rested for a while, until she was better, then twisted the thread and threaded the needle, lowered her head and began to do embroidery.

Because Gu Sanniang was sick, she barely embroidered a petal all day, seeing that it was getting late, and the time to leave work had come, Gu Sanniang struggled to stand up, only to feel dizzy, Mo Xiaohong, who was sitting next to her, saw that her face was gray, and said: "Sanniang, do you want to find a Langzhong to see?" ”

Gu Sanniang shook her head, and she said, "It's not in the way, I'll just go back and sleep." ”

Mo Xiaohong sighed softly, those who are embroiderers here are all people from poor families, they are sick, as long as they can carry it, no one is willing to take money to see Langzhong.

"It's getting late, let's call it a day and go back together." Mo Xiaohong said.

Gu Sanniang originally wanted to finish embroidering this petal, but the light outside was dim, and she couldn't hold it, so she and Mo Xiaohong packed up their things and went home.

Mo Xiaohong's family and Gu Sanniang were not on the way, but she saw that Gu Sanniang was unwell, so she took a detour to send her back first, and the two walked to the alley of Qin Daniang's house, just when Shen Juren came back with something, after he saw Gu Sanniang, he looked at her first, and then bowed slightly towards her, then Mo Xiaohong saw it, quietly looked at him, and asked in a low voice: "Who is this man, he looks really good." ”

Gu Sanniang saw the back in front of her and replied: "He is from Shen Ju, who lives in the east wing of Aunt Qin's house, and only moved here yesterday." ”

Mo Xiaohong glanced at him a few more times, the old man was still so shabby, thinking that he was a poor scholar who could only do anything.

"I'm here, you should hurry up and go home." Gu Sanniang said to Mo Xiaohong.

Mo Xiaohong said to Gu Sanniang: "You are so resting, if it is not good tomorrow, I will take a few days off with Uncle Yongwang, I don't have to drag my body down, and I am the one who suffers." ”

"I see." Gu Sanniang waved her hand at Mo Xiaohong, and then went into the alley, who knew that she had just walked to the door and saw Shen Juren standing there, Gu Sanniang was coldly frightened, she took a few steps back, and said, "Shen Juren, you haven't entered the house yet." ”

Shen Juren looked at her, and then retracted his gaze, he said unhurriedly: "I saw that Gu Niangzi's face was red, her lips were sore, and there was phlegm in her throat. ”

Gu Sanniang didn't know that he was still a pharmacological person, and she saw that he seemed to be waiting to remind her, so she said to Shen Juren: "Thank you Shen Juren for your kindness, I will definitely take your words to heart." ”

Seeing this, Shen Juren nodded his head lightly twice, and then returned to the east chamber.
