The Sacrificial Peasant Girl (6)
An aunt greeted her: "It's auspicious, your wedding dress has already been made, see if you're satisfied?" β
Wei Chu also saw the wedding dress, the big red dress, but the style was very simple, the skirt cuffs were embroidered with a few peony flowers, Wei Chu took a closer look, this is embroidery, but this embroiderer can't bear to look at it directly, but Wang Jixiang is obviously very satisfied, and he can't close his mouth with a smile.
She paid her wages directly, and Wei Chu saw that such a wedding dress cost more than two hundred yuan.
Wang Jixiang took the wedding dress and took Wei Chu out, and said to her: "You wait here, the eldest sister will leave for a while, and I will pick you up in a while, if you run away, I won't be able to find you, you know?" β
Wei Chu knew that Wang Jixiang was going to the Qi family to find Qi Jiaming, and he couldn't come back after half a day, so he actually said for a while, but this was exactly what Wei Chu wanted, so she nodded nervously.
Seeing Wang Jixiang leaving, Wei Chu straightened the hem of his clothes, and came to the front of the courtyard, just when someone entered, Wei Chu followed behind, it turned out that those people were holding their own embroidered things to deliver, before the aunt wore eyes and carefully examined it, and then nodded, and gave the salary, Wei Chu noticed that those were very simple and rough pictures of flowers and birds, a look of more than ten yuan.
When the people left, the aunt was about to enter the house, and Wei Chu suddenly said: "Can you make money by embroidering this?" β
Aunt turned her head and looked: "Oh, aren't you the girl brought by Jixiang?" β
Wei Chu nodded: "My sister has gone to see my future brother-in-law, let me wait here for a while, aunt, can I sell the embroidery to you for money?" β
Wei Chu was tidy today, her eyes were big and round, she looked at people brightly, her expression was ignorant and innocent, there was an indescribable cuteness, and her aunt had a good impression of her for a while: "Yes, why are you asking this?" β
Wei Chu looked left and right, and then turned up the corners of his clothes: "Then can I exchange money for this?" β
Auntie looked down, oops, there are still tweed embroidered in this dress, the thread is rough, and the embroidery is simple, but the curvature of the petals and the curling of the leaves are vividly embroidered, which is really beautiful.
Aunt came interested: "This is what your mother embroidered for you?" "It doesn't make sense, if someone in her family knows this, she still needs to bring the wedding dress here to make it?
Wei Chu shook his head: "I embroidered it myself, can I sell it for money?" She lifted her garment higher to reveal a section of her waist, with old scars and bruises on it, which looked like she had been beaten.
Auntie's face changed, she led Wei Chu into the house, and asked her carefully, "Little girl, where did the injury on your body come from?" β
Wei Chu lowered his head and said weakly: "It was my parents who beat me, they said that I was a loser and a disaster star, I think if I could make some money, they wouldn't beat me at every turn." β
The aunt lifted her clothes higher: "What a sin, like this?" β
Wei Chu's body can be said to be full of scars, this body has been abused for more than ten years before, although it has not been beaten these days, but the perennial scars are not so easy to heal, it looks quite shocking.
Auntie's sympathy was suddenly overflowing, and she was also a little moved by her craftsmanship, she could embroider such a thing at such a young age, if she cultivated it, wouldn't she become an embroidery master?
She asked Wei Chu to demonstrate on the spot, Wei Chu picked a piece of muslin, and embroidered a small fish in three or two times, the fish was very smart, obviously it was a stationary tail, but how to look at it gave people a feeling of a fishtail swimming powerfully.
The aunt was overjoyed, took another sample, and asked Wei Chu to embroider on it.
It is a pair of lotus flowers, open in the pond, there are many lotus leaves against the background, the whole is quite simple, there are not many colors, but it looks boring and rigid, Wei Chu deliberately expressed XiΓ n, first outlined the frame of the lotus, and then divided the thin thread to embroider a few water waves, and embroidered the oblique causeway in the distance, faint shade, and a few willow branches nearby.
Wei Chu moved quickly, and only hooked a rough, but it took two or three hours to embroider the overall frame, although there were only a few understatements, but the whole smart atmosphere was immediately there, and the grade rose a little bit.
Auntie was stunned.
It's definitely a masterpiece.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that Wei Chu, a skinny and malnourished little girl, could have such a level?
Wei Chu wiped the sweat from her forehead, this body is still too weak, so she feels a little dizzy after two or three hours of concentration, she asked her aunt: "Can I make money like this?" β
"Yes! Yes! That's great! "Aunt like picking up a treasure, eager to hug Wei Chu and kiss, she wanted to leave Wei Chu here to embroider, but Wei Chu said that she had to go back, otherwise the family should scold again, and she didn't have the opportunity to come out often, so Aunt had to let her take the needlework and fabric back to do.
Wei Chu also asked her to help keep it secret for herself, and the aunt agreed.
Wei Chu saw that it was not early, she asked her aunt where the nearest grain store and food store was, and went straight to it.
With the ten yuan he took from Zhang Feng'er, Wei Chu bought a pound of peanut crisp, a pound of maltose, and two pounds of onion-flavored biscuits, wrapped these in a package, and looked up and down to see that there was no place to hide on his body, so he had to go back to the place where he was waiting for Wang Jixiang, hide the things first, and pretend to be uncomfortable after preparing for a while, Wang Jixiang must be impatient to wait for her, he will leave first, and then she will take these things back.
While waiting and reciting the medical book, Wang Jixiang came after another hour, and before Wei Chu pretended to have a stomachache, she said: "I still have some things here, you can go back by yourself first, do you know why you can go?" Just keep walking along the main road. Without waiting for Wei Chu to speak, he ran away quickly, for fear that Wei Chu would entangle her.
Wei Chu was happy, took out the package, carried it in his hand and walked towards Wangjia Village.
Halfway through, I suddenly found that the person in the back seat of a bicycle in the distance was familiar, wasn't that Wang Jixiang? And the young man on the bike should be her fiancΓ©.
It turned out that Wang Jixiang had something to do with asking the Qi family to take her back.
Wei Chu shook her head, and looked at the scenery with the medical book on her back all the way, and she didn't feel bored, but when she was about to reach the head of the village, she found a familiar back flashing in the woods over there, wasn't that Zhang Feng'er, and the one who went in with her seemed to be a man.
Wei Chu thought about it and followed cautiously, when she heard an ambiguous gasp, she raised her eyebrows, isn't it, Zhang Feng'er stealing people?
Does anyone look up to such a bloated figure?
