In the days after the opening of the shop, Gu Sanniang's Longxiu Village has not had any business, but she is not in a hurry, she opens the door of the store every day, cleans up the shop, first learns to make a plan, and then begins to do embroidery work.

As the days passed, the people on the street also became familiar with Gu Sanniang, just because of her widowhood, she also learned from men to open shops and trade, because some idlers inevitably like to make up a few words for her in private, but Gu Sanniang is a person who is safe and does not take disputes with people lightly, so this shop is generally smooth.

On this day, Gu Sanniang was sitting in the shop embroidering a children's belly pocket, a red carp had just finished embroidering, and she saw a woman in her forties coming in outside, followed by a little girl who had just left her head, and after coming in, she first raised her eyes and glanced at it, and finally landed on Gu Sanniang's body, and asked, "Are you Gu Sanniang?" ”

Gu Sanniang saw that she seemed to have made a special trip to find her, so she put down the work in her hand and said, "Exactly, I don't know where my sister-in-law is from, what is the matter with me?" ”

Seeing that she had found the right one, the woman said with a smile: "My surname is Luo, and I am the companion of the grandmother of Yangfu in the east of the city. ”

Gu Sanniang thought about it carefully, she remembered that last year, Sun Juren held a plum blossom party, and a second lady of the Yang family accidentally broke into the banquet, and the portrait was also circulated and became the talk of the market after dinner.

As she recalled, the woman had already picked up her embroidery shed and looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "What a bright work." ”

Gu Sanniang smiled modestly, and she asked, "Forgive me for being clumsy, isn't what my sister-in-law is talking about the Yang family of rice merchants?" ”

"How many other Yang mansions live in the east of the city? A few days ago, the house sent two Luo skirts, how do you know that after taking it back to see, the grandmother said that the embroidery was not right, we sent someone to inquire, only to learn that the usual grandmother's things are embroidered by you, and now you don't do it, and the grandmother only recognizes your craftsmanship, so I looked for it. ”

When Gu Sanniang was an embroidery girl in the embroidery village, she only had to do work every day, as for whose things belonged to her, these did not belong to her, at this time after listening to Luo's words, she replied with a smile on her face: "It's really disrespectful, thanks to Grandma Yang's care, if there is anything, Sister-in-law Luo just commands." ”

Luo took the burden in the hands of the little girl behind, she opened it, and took out two gowns and two Luo skirts from it, and there were pillowcases, belts, and tent edges, Luo said: "Everything else, but these two Luo skirts are waiting to be worn, and they need to be tightened." ”

Gu Sanniang had never seen Grandma Yang, and she didn't know her preferences, although she had always done work for her before, she had done so much, but she didn't know which one it was, so she asked, "I don't know what Grandma Yang wants to do?" ”

"This grandmother didn't say it, it's just that the skirt is made to go out and go to the naughty, so it has to be more bright and eye-catching." Luo Cuo said.

Gu Sanniang heard that she was going to go out, so she took out a notebook from the cabinet, which were all patterns she had drawn herself, there were hundreds of kinds, she turned a few pages and said: "Since you are going to go out, is it good to choose a butterfly love flower?" That's the time. ”

Luo Che took a look, nodded incessantly, and said: "What I said is that the style should not be too old, if you wear the same patterns from the previous two years, it will be a joke." ”

"These are all newly painted by me, Sister-in-law Luo picks a few things and brings them back to Grandma Yang, and when she chooses, my sister-in-law will send someone to tell me, and I will be able to rush to work immediately."

Roche nodded and said yes, she took half a piece of broken silver from her purse and said, "This is the deposit for you, and everything will be ready by then, and then you will settle the money together." ”

Gu Sanniang said a few polite words in her mouth, and then recorded the account in the notebook, Luo was about to take the little girl back to the house, Gu Sanniang personally sent them out, and then turned around and entered the house.

There is a big business today, if there is no accident, it is impossible to make a repeat customer, it is because Gu Sanniang values it very much, she carefully put away the clothes sent by the Yang family, first take out the small piece of forehead wipe and lock the edge, just wait for the Yang family to send a pattern, you can embroider the Luo skirt for the Yang family's grandmother.

Later, the grandmother of the Yang family sent someone to send the selected patterns, when Gu Sanniang returned home from the closing of the store that day, she brought Grandma Yang's Luo skirt and embroidered some when she was ready to go home, who knew that she had just walked out not far away, and a figure came out from the mouth of the alley next to her, Gu Sanniang was not on guard, and was suddenly bluffed, the person shouted Sanniang in his mouth, and then looked at her pitifully.

When Gu Sanniang settled down and took a closer look, she couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that the person who stopped her was Sister-in-law Song, who she hadn't seen for a long time.

Since Song's sister-in-law was kicked out of Jin's embroidery village, Gu Sanniang has never seen her again, and once heard someone mention that she was having a very bad time, at this time Gu Sanniang saw her, only to see that she was unkempt, with a piece of oil on her cuffs, and her forehead was bruised.

Originally, when she was in the embroidery village, Gu Sanniang couldn't get along with Sister-in-law Song, not to mention that her picture of the pine crane was destroyed by this sister-in-law Song, and later in order to catch up with another embroidery, she almost broke her body, and when she saw her, Gu Sanniang's face was naturally not very good-looking, and she said in a deep voice: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Sister-in-law Song hesitated for a moment, and said with a sad face: "I heard that you opened a shop that sells embroidery, and I have saved a lot of embroidery work, can you take my embroidery work?" ”

Gu Sanniang was almost laughed at angrily, she secretly did it that day, why did she have the face to ask her for help? No matter how cold the business of her shop is, she will not accept this woman's work, she framed her, she doesn't remember half her life, she has to remember it for ten years and eight years.

"My small shop can't carry your masterpieces, so please go elsewhere." Gu Sanniang said expressionlessly.

Poor people must have something to hate, since Song's sister-in-law was driven out of the embroidery village, the two Jin's embroidery shops in the county do not accept her work, Song's sister-in-law's whole family relies on her to be an embroidery girl to support, but she lost her errand, but you can imagine how her in-laws and men should dislike her, this Song's sister-in-law used to support the family fashion and to be practiced by her mother-in-law, and now she can't make money, she is beaten and scolded at every turn, and the family is about to be unable to open the pot, Song's sister-in-law has no choice but to come to Gu Sanniang.

"Sanniang, it's all my fault, you forgive me for this, if you don't accept my embroidery work, then no one will accept it, if you are really angry in your heart, it's a big deal to take it cheaper."

Gu Sanniang is not a saint, Sister-in-law Song harmed her, she didn't settle accounts with her, she was already benevolent and righteous, if she wanted her to help her, she thought she couldn't do it.

"Whoever you sell it to, I won't take it anyway." After Gu Sanniang finished saying this, she turned her head and was about to leave, but when Sister-in-law Song saw this, she hurriedly stopped her, and cried in her mouth: "I admit that I am wrong, what else do you want me to do?" If it weren't for you, how could I be dismissed by Xiuzhuang, could it be that I had to force my family to die to be willing, even if I really forced me to death, what good could you end up with? ”

Gu Sanniang couldn't help but feel slightly angry when she saw that she was still beating up, she said: "You are a carpenter wearing a flail - self-inflicted, as the old saying goes, people are watching the sky, it has nothing to do with me if you want to die or live, tell you the truth, your work is given to me for nothing, and I won't ask for it." ”

Sister-in-law Song saw that this only hope was about to be disappointed, so she played a scoundrel, she grabbed Gu Sanniang's sleeve and said: "I don't care, if you don't accept my work, I will go to your shop every day to make trouble, so that you can't even do business." ”

Gu Sanniang smiled coldly, she stared at Sister-in-law Song's eyes, and said: "Okay, can you scare me when you do this, you just have to come, nothing else, knives, sticks, guns and sticks are ready, in case you miss and cripple to death, I will pawn this shop to pay you." ”

Sister-in-law Song was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by Gu Sanniang's vicious appearance, Gu Sanniang glanced at her, pulled out her sleeve from her hand in disgust, and said: "If you don't have the courage to sacrifice your life, you can be an honest person and save yourself from embarrassment." ”

After that, Gu Sanniang turned around and left, not wanting her to just take two steps, and saw Shen Zhuo standing not far away, he was holding a stack of straw paper in his heart, as if he had just returned from the study, at this time he was standing aside, looking at Gu Sanniang with the corners of his mouth raised.

Gu Sanniang didn't know how much he heard, she paused in her footsteps, then walked over again, and said, "It's rare to see you go out once, and I happened to meet you." ”

At first, when Sister-in-law Song stopped Gu Sanniang, Shen Zhuo had already seen it, he wanted to go up to relieve the siege, but he didn't expect that without him coming forward, Gu Sanniang himself ridiculed that person.

Neither of them mentioned the matter of Song's sister-in-law, and Shen Zhuo said, "I'm going home, let's go back together?" ”

Gu Sanniang said secretly, these days she and Shen Zhuo have been getting a little close, and there are already rumors in the neighborhood, and then such a big horn goes in and out together, more and more people want to attract tongues, so she said: "You go back first, the brown rice at home is finished, I'll weigh some rice and go back." ”

Shen Zhuo nodded, he said hello to Gu Sanniang, and left first.
