Chunhua vomited as soon as she got off the boat.

Aunt Cao hurriedly bought a cup of hot tea from the small tea stall and brought it over to rinse the spring flowers.

"Let's take a day off." Chunhua said weakly.

When I return home, I will definitely take the big boat, blow the wind on the deck, and I will feel much more comfortable without smelling the bad smell.

Sioux City is much more prosperous.

Just that way.

Stacks of neat stone bricks, three carriages walking side by side, not too crowded.

There is a constant stream of guests coming and going.

Chunhua listened attentively, this accent is all over the world. Chunhua also saw a girl, tall, with large breasts and a thin waist, very white skin, and green eyes.

It's rude to stare at people, but Chunhua just can't help but look at people all the way. I heard that it was from a small country in the Western Regions, and a businessman surnamed Zhong bought eight dancing girls from the Western Regions and held a banquet for a few days, and the fame of the eight dancing girls came out.

Chunhua and Aunt Cao chose an inn facing the street.

The proprietress was kind and prepared hot water for free.

Chunhua is not the Leng Touqing of a year ago, and I was lucky to meet Xiao Ji. If you go to another store, you might be kicked out.

There are three large cloth houses in Sioux City. One of them, exclusively for famous nobles, the price of an inch of cloth is not affordable for ordinary people, even if it can be bought, how many are willing to spend a few months of rations to buy a piece of cloth?

The other two are old signs.

Li Ji of Shiluo County, dyeing is a must, the fabric has been placed for seven or eight years, and it has been washed thousands of times and is as bright as new. The Liuyun Dyeing Workshop is Li Ji's, and Liuyunlan is praised by the palace concubine before it is declared far away, and in the Liuyun Dyeing Workshop, like Liuyunlan, the procedure is complex, and there are four or five kinds of amazing finished products.

It is also famous for embroidery, and the quality of the material is average. Embroidering beautiful patterns is not practical for ordinary people. It is easy to hook off the embroidery thread when working, and no matter how exquisite the embroidery is, it is not as conspicuous as the red and green.

Chunhua came to Li Ji this time.

After taking a hot bath, Chunhua called Xiao Er.

"What do you have here?" After being tired and washed away, Chunhua felt that her stomach was very empty and she was uncomfortable with hunger.

"This south and north, you name it, we have it here." Xiao Er boasted about the sea.

"Let's have four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, another soup, and two bowls of rice." Chunhua said.

"Okay."

Aunt Cao is making the bed.

Aunt Cao loves cleanliness, and thinks that how many people have slept in the bed in the inn, if she sleeps on it, Aunt Cao will feel sorry for her. No, I deliberately brought a clean pillow towel in my baggage, and I also brought homely clothes, and I slept with clothes at night.

Meals were delivered quickly.

"Aunt Cao, don't be busy, eat something to cushion your stomach." Chunhua shouted.

Aunt Cao was not polite, she was also hungry. The boat got on the boat in the morning, and only docked in the evening, although I brought dry food, but how could I have the heart to eat on the ship.

After dinner, Chunhua was still not satisfied, but she was embarrassed to let Xiao Er add more food, and a girl's family was always embarrassed to eat too much.

Aunt Cao's meal was already large, so she was half full.

"Aunt Cao, isn't the boss your fellow countryman, if you want to talk to her, go ahead." Chunhua said that Aunt Cao knew that the proprietress was a fellow villager in her eyes, and Chunhua saw it in her eyes. And she also knew that Aunt Cao was still hungry.

When the fellow sees the fellow, the words can't be stopped.

From the bitterness of being uprooted from home, to the sweetness of today's life, to reminiscing about the beauty of hometown.

The next thing is to sigh at the way of the world today.

"Alas, those of us who came out are fine, a few years ago, I went home." The proprietress sighed, "It used to be a big town, but now there are only a dozen families left. ”

"It's all a mess caused by mountain bandits, but a lot of people died." The proprietress said.

Aunt Cao also felt uncomfortable, although her relatives were long gone, but after all, it was the place where she was born and raised, but it has become the scene now.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Speaking of Sioux City alone, there are several families who can't live anymore in the past few days. ”

"What?" Aunt Cao asked.

"Sioux City, embroidery is the most. The Qinjia embroidery workshop wants to release a large number of embroidery girls, all of whom are over thirty years old, saying that they are old, they can't hold the needle in their hands, and their eyes are also spent. Hmph, that's ridiculous. The proprietress said, "A cousin of mine who is far away is also in it, and I am angry in my heart, so don't you care." ”

Aunt Cao shook her head: "Where will it be." I heard that the embroiderers with good craftsmanship are all treasures, even if the eyes are not good, it is good to teach the people below, how could the Qinjia embroidery workshop resign everyone? ”

"The Qin family invited Xiuniang from Beijing and said that she was Cui Niangzi's apprentice. Hey, this famous family, with a big temper, has to rely on her for everything. However, the Qin family was not kind, and they didn't even give severance pay. It's not that I'm greedy for this money, it's a good intention. ”

While the two were talking, a woman hurried through the door.

The woman had a gray-blue turban on her head, and the hair on her temples was half a hundred.

"There's something going on at home, so I'm late." The woman's face was full of guilt.

"It's okay, I don't have much work here, you don't have to be in such a hurry. Minghua is okay? The proprietress asked with concern.

The woman hurriedly said, "The doctor said it was much better. ”

"That's good, don't be too tired. Your family Minghua wants you to feed it. ”

"Huh." The woman answered, "Then I'll go to the back kitchen first." ”

"Well, go ahead."

The proprietress arched Aunt Cao with her hand: "How old do you think she is?" ”

"It's supposed to be forty." Aunt Cao guessed.

"It's only thirty-three. Poor, she was a famous embroiderer in Sioux City, her husband died early, and she raised her son alone. relied on her embroidery skills. But a few months ago, her son was smashed in the head, and she was dismissed by the Qin family, and her life was sad. The proprietress said, "If you want to say that her embroidery skills are so good, there should be many embroidery villages competing for her, and I only hate that the Qin family does not allow the embroidery girl who resigned from his family to go to other embroidery villages, for fear that the skills will be learned by others." ”

"Isn't it ridiculous?!"

Aunt Cao was speechless: "This is too much, isn't this a rush to kill?" ”

"What's the name of that embroidery girl just now?" Aunt Cao asked, "My boss may be able to help her." ”

"I don't know what the surname is, I only know that her husband's surname is Liu, and her husband called her Qingya when he was alive."

…………

The barrels by the well were filled with dishes.

Qingya fetched water and soaked the dishes in the water. Then fill another barrel with water.

Qingya had two chilblains on his hands, itching and painful, and now they are like this, what can I do in winter.

Qingya looked at her hands, afraid that she would not be able to hold embroidery needles in the future.
