Tong Yan told his grandfather and grandmother about going to the embroidery workshop, and his grandfather was quite happy, and it was a good thing to be able to support himself by his own ability.

Grandma Chen, who was smiling on the surface, took Tong Yan's little hand and walked into the yard, the smile on her face faded, and she frowned and asked Tong Yan: "Don't lie to me, this old woman, your grandfather doesn't know your little bit of female popularity, I know it very well!" As far as your craftsmanship is concerned, let alone entering the embroidery workshop, you can embroider a handkerchief well, what the hell is going on? ”

Tong Yan grinned, sure enough, it was still her grandmother who knew her best, and she was not born with that material, and quipped to Grandma Chen: "Grandmother, isn't it a good thing that someone has taken a fancy to your granddaughter's craftsmanship?" ”

"Don't come with me to this set, your craftsmanship can't be looked down on by a blind man! What's more, in these days, everyone wants to find an errand to do, and the people who go to the embroidery workshop to apply for embroidery girls are afraid that their heads are crowded, and it is your turn? Grandma Chen said angrily.

Tong Yan grabbed Grandma Chen's hands with her backhand and pulled Grandma Chen to sit down on the stone bench: "My grandmother, anyway, your granddaughter can't do anything hurtful, don't you ask?" ”

Of course not! Grandma Chen's eyes told Tong Yan her answer.

Seeing that he couldn't get mixed up, Tong Yan let out a long sigh, people say that people are confused when they get old, but their grandmother is not confused at all, and she is becoming more and more shrewd.

"Grandmother, my craftsmanship is really bad, but others don't necessarily look down on it, right?"

Grandma Chen didn't speak, and continued to look at Tong Yan.

"Uh...... Grandmother--"Tong Yan began to be coquettish.

Grandma Chen still didn't speak, looking at Tong Yan.

"Okay, okay, I said, really." Tong Yan pouted, "That embroidery workshop is Su Hao's own embroidery workshop." ”

I see, Grandma Chen looked like she had a sudden realization. This makes sense, it must be the young master of the Su family who helped.

Looking at his grandmother's expression, Tong Yan was a little reluctant: "Grandmother, what kind of expression are you, it seems that without Su Hao's help me, I can't support myself." ”

Grandma Chen smiled and said, "On weekdays, you can support yourself without the help of Master Su, but in this famine year, I really don't believe that you are supporting yourself." ”

What are these words, as if they are really useless. Tong Yan snorted and said, "Grandmother, don't take you like this, turn your elbow out!" ”

Grandma Chen smiled and didn't speak, her granddaughter, don't you know, that strong energy has come up again.

The more Grandma Chen smiled, the more Tong Yan felt very empty-hearted, this time it wasn't for Su Hao's face, she really couldn't enter the embroidery workshop.

Looking at the child's appearance, Grandma Chen couldn't bear to continue to tease her, and changed the topic: "Are you hungry?" I missed the meal when I came back, so I'll make you some noodle soup. ”

Tong Yan hurriedly stopped Grandma Chen: "Don't, grandmother, don't worry about me, I'll come by myself." ”

Grandma Chen waved her hand: "You have been busy taking care of me and your grandfather since you came back this time, and you haven't had a good rest." I'm going to the embroidery workshop tomorrow, and I don't know if I can come back every day to have dinner with the two of us. I'll ask my grandmother to make you a noodle soup today, it's been a long time since I've eaten your grandmother's food, so just wait and eat. ”

Tong Yan smiled slightly, it was still her grandmother who loved her the most, so she nodded and followed into the kitchen.

The steward sent Tong Yan away, and immediately rushed to the silk village to discuss Tong Yan's arrangement with the shopkeeper Qiu, of course, the steward also brought the "blue grass" embroidered by Tong Yan before.

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at the unfinished thing in his hand, which was said to be bluegrass, with black lines on his head.

In the past few days, Shopkeeper Qiu has also inquired about Tong Yan. This girl grew up in the countryside outside the city in the east, but after all, there is a father who was born as a scholar, and she has been in the capital for about half a year before. But looking at the thing he was holding in his hand, Shopkeeper Qiu really suspected that the person he was inquiring about was not Tong Yan at all, but a young lady from another family.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Qiu was silent, the steward could only take the initiative to ask: "Shopkeeper Qiu, look at this, how do you arrange it?" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu raised his eyes to look at the steward, lowered his head and looked at the embroidered handkerchief again, and pursed his lips, yes, how should this be arranged?

Let Tong Yan be an embroidery girl, just this effort, if she is seen by other embroidery girls, Tong Yan will definitely not have a good life. Where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs, and this is not a joke.

If Tong Yan is allowed to be an apprentice, not to mention the low salary, will Su Ershao feel that they have treated this girl badly, and come to find their stubble again!

Second less, second less, you said you threw an errand over, so I can explain what it means!

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at the steward in embarrassment: "What do you think?" ”

Nonsense, if I knew what to do, would I still use it to find you? The steward's eyes were very melancholy.

Shopkeeper Qiu took a deep breath, then he could only gamble: "Lao Li, the embroidery girl is definitely not good, when the time comes, an embroidery workshop will make trouble, it is not your business and I are responsible, let her be a first-class apprentice." ”

Yes? The steward's face is a little broken, and his heart is a little bottomless, just this craft, to be a first-class apprentice? Where do you sell the embroidered things?

"I said Lao Li, don't be 'ah', you really let her go to be a third-class apprentice, and if the second young man is unhappy at that time, he may throw you into a mess. Isn't it just a matter of consuming some materials, but it's better than scrapping your errand. ”

Thinking about it, the steward nodded, and agreed to the proposal of the shopkeeper Qiu. However, if other apprentices saw the things embroidered by Tong Yan, it would also cause some waves, and the steward told the shopkeeper Qiu about his worries.

Shopkeeper Qiu frowned and looked at the honest man in front of him, he really didn't know how this person managed things, and he couldn't work around at all.

"You won't give her a separate cubicle, and then find a trustworthy embroidery girl to guide her, when the time comes, if others ask, they will say that they are new, and the craft will be on, but if you need to teach, you will be separated from each other to learn alone, this is not it!"

The steward patted his head, yes, isn't this okay, why can't he think of it, and hurriedly gave a gift to the shopkeeper Qiu: "It's still the shopkeeper Qiu's thoughtfulness, thoughtfulness, I'll arrange it." ”

Shopkeeper Qiu waved his hand impatiently and asked Xiao Si to send the steward away.

So, after dinner that day, a few craftsmen came to the apprenticeship of the embroidery workshop, and hurriedly set up a small cubicle in the corner of the courtyard. Due to the rush of time, there is no way to build such a delicate partition as in the embroidered women's courtyard, but it is also tightly surrounded by two layers of pink gauze tents on the outside to ensure that people outside cannot clearly see the situation inside.
