This matter has to start from more than two months ago, when Li Xu saw Li Junran for the first time. That time, Li Junran was a little out of shape, or to be more precise, Xiao Qiliu's consciousness remaining in the small body was out of shape after seeing Li Xu. Although there was only an awkwardly pronounced "mother", even if Li Junran secretly stuffed silver ingots and fried quail eggs later, it still made Li Xu notice something unusual. After leaving Cheng's house, the more Li Xu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and when he passed by Jinxiufang, he gritted his teeth and mortgaged the silver ingots given by Li Junran, and received a list of large embroideries from Jinxiufang.

Li Xu's embroidery skills are very good, although they are not as good as the well-known Suzhou embroidery, they are also ranked first in the area around Yuezhen. It's just that embroidery hurts the eyes, and I have to be busy doing rough work on weekdays. Rough work is easy to rough hands, and the most taboo in embroidery is rough hands and feet, and the embroidery thread is hairy. So in the past few years, even when the old Li family was in the ancestral house, Li Xu's family embroidered some small things like purses at most.

The most important point is that in addition to having a good relationship with the embroidery workshop, you also have to pay a certain deposit. Li Xiaofeng has always been the master who only enters but does not leave, and it is more difficult for her to take out this money than to ascend to the sky. Although Li Qian and Li Zhao knew that they could still get the deposit back, they were still unwilling to pay the money in advance. Because once this money is paid in advance, it means that the small amount of private money in his pocket will be known by Li Xiaofeng, a mother-in-law who always cares about her daughter-in-law's dowry. Li Xu's money for receiving large embroideries may not end up in their pockets, and if they don't turn around, they will lose their private money in their pockets, and they will not be happy with any normal person, not to mention that Li Qian and Li Zhao, who love to take advantage of others and never refuse to suffer, are even more likely to be happy. Although Li Xu's temperament is very soft, he is not a fool, and he is even more happy to pretend to be stupid at this time. After all, she is the one who contributes, is it difficult to pay for it?

Therefore, before Xiao Qiliu's family was driven out of the ancestral house of the old Li family, Li Xu's family never received any large embroideries, except for embroidered purses or embroidered purses. At night, they secretly beat the rope in the dark. The purse was handed over to Li Xiaofeng after each embroidery, and when it came to the day of the market, it was sold at the Yuezhen Embroidery Workshop, which was the same for the three daughters-in-law. As for the tasseling rope, Li Xu will secretly hand it over to Aunt Mi Hua to help her sell it. In this way, Li Xu's family saved a little private money.

It is said that Li Xu took over the work from Jinxiufang, and after returning to Lijiatun, he began to work tirelessly. For large embroidery, sometimes several embroiderers have to work day and night for many months to produce the finished product. So Li Xu's piece can only be regarded as a medium piece at best. Rao is like this, Li Xu has also worked hard for more than two months and almost three months. Before Li Junran returned to Li's house, there was still half a lotus flower left to complete this fish lotus playing in the water.

Because Li Qian couldn't get the benefits in the third room, when he left the small kitchen and passed the main house, he took a second look. It was these two glances that allowed Li Qian to see Li Xu's soon-to-finish embroidery.

Li Qian was dumbfounded on the spot. After Li Xu married Li Zhengmin, Li Qian also overheard that Li Xu's best at embroidery, but the small purse is not enough to reveal Li Xu's true level, but it looks better than ordinary people's embroidery.

I think back then, if Li Xiaofeng wasn't afraid of delaying his second daughter's family affairs, he wouldn't have bothered to give Li Zhengmin Zhang Luo's daughter-in-law. Therefore, the daughter-in-law of Li Zhengmin in the third room didn't choose carefully at all, just asked the matchmaker to find a yellow flower girl who was not stupid or stupid, and it didn't matter if she was poor or ugly, or even if she was weak. If it weren't for the family affairs of his second daughter, Li Xiaofeng would have wanted to save the above conditions. No one expected that the matchmaker Li Xiaofeng was looking for had received the favor of Li Feng's family, and knew that Li Feng's only son Li Zhengmin had reached the age of marrying a wife, so he had been secretly inquiring about the well-looking marriageable women in the neighborhood in private. So when Li Huiniang married into the old Li family, at the confession meeting the next morning, when Li Qian's family saw Li Huiniang's true face clearly, the sour water in his heart was one by one.

After Li Qian saw the embroidery on the embroidery frame that was almost completed, he immediately couldn't walk, and shouted loudly: "Yo, look, look, what a good embroidery." Mother, come and take a look. ”

Li Xiaofeng, who was about to walk out of the courtyard, heard Li Qian's shouting, and also turned around, and came to the main house in a few steps, looking at the embroidery on the embroidery frame, the triangular eyes that were not big immediately glared at the boss.

"Good boy, it's beautiful." Li Zhao, who followed Li Xiaofeng into the main house, couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

"The daughter-in-law of the people, the old woman will be born in a few months. It's neat, and this embroidery will be given to the old woman as a birthday gift. Li Xiaofeng's eyes rolled and he said unceremoniously.

"Mother-in-law, this embroidery daughter-in-law originally planned to give Liu Er a naturalization after selling it for money. Your birthday is still a few months away, can you hold off on your birthday gift? Li Xu saw Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law enter the main house, and saw the embroidery she had been in a hurry for almost three months, and knew that something bad was going to happen.

"Naturalization? Which class to get rid of? Seeing that Li Xu didn't give himself face, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but raise his voice, "You don't understand anything as an old woman, do you?" The seven girls were sold to Cheng Fu for ten years. A mansion like Chengfu is a place where a pariah like you can go if you want to, and you can go if you want? ”

"No, I said the third brother and sister, my sister-in-law knows that you feel sorry for the seventh girl. But why are we competing with Cheng Fu? Li Qian's face was visibly gloating. If you want to say that among the three daughters-in-law of the old Li family, if you want to talk about appearance, Li Qian's sister-in-law is the most ugly. Therefore, every time Li Qian saw Li Xu's delicate and weak appearance, the anger in his heart was overshadowed for a while.

Li Qian's is a loud voice, not to mention that Li Junran, who is still in the small kitchen, can hear Li Junyang and Li Junyang clearly, but I am afraid that if there are passers-by outside the courtyard, they can also hear it.

As soon as Li Junyang heard Li Qian's words, he suddenly became angry. Originally, for more than a year, he had been sick for himself, and as a result, his father went up the mountain to hunt and broke his leg, and finally hurt his sister Xiao Qiliu to sell himself as a slave and felt guilty......

It's just that the people of Lao Li's family don't help, anyway, they have already split up, and it can be said that they are two families who are more troublesome than ordinary relatives. Thinking about it like this, seizing the opportunity to take advantage of the door, is it tolerable or unbearable!

Li Junran, who was thinking about quickly scooping up the fat mouse that was still struggling in the water tank, saw Li Junyang pick up the broom behind the door like a missile, and rushed out, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Junyang's arm: "Brother." ”

"Little sister!" Li Junyang looked at Li Junran puzzled, with a little more blame in his eyes.

Li Junran was suddenly embarrassed, and her sister was also kind. It's not that my sister looks down on you, just your thin arms and legs, and your small body that is thinner than her, let alone beating Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, half of them can't win. In the end, it will ruin his reputation because of this, in case he will be put on a big hat of unfilial piety from now on, do you want to mix with officialdom when you turn around?

"Brother, I heard Mama Fang say in Cheng Mansion that those officials pay the most attention to their reputation."

Li Junyang couldn't help but squint his eyes, and looked at his little sister more and more puzzled. For some reason, although the sister in front of me looks very familiar and looks quite similar to herself, she feels so strange to Li Junyang. Could it be true that the relationship between the two of them who haven't seen each other for more than a year or two years is true?

"Brother, you said that if you let the adult in charge of the imperial examination know that the uncle and the fifth uncle did not save their nephews and brothers when they saw death, and now they connived at the little grandmothers to snatch the embroidery that can make their nieces get rid of their nationality, will they be deprived of the titles of the uncle and the fifth uncle?"

Li Junyang's big eyes, which looked very similar to Xiao Qiliu, flickered obviously, and then the corners of his mouth turned upwards obviously, obviously understanding what Li Junran meant. Li Junyang threw away the broom in his hand and ran out of the small kitchen.

"Little grandma, please, don't snatch your mother's embroidery."

Li Junran salvaged the fat mouse in the water tank and threw it into the small bamboo basket. Then he rubbed his eyes and found that he had been brewing for a while, but he couldn't squeeze out a single tear. I had no choice but to secretly dig out a lemon from the warehouse of my manor, squeeze it on the cuffs, and then wipe it into my eyes. Suddenly, tears flowed down his face. Tears poured out as if I didn't want money, and I couldn't stop trying to.

The puppet's mother, worthy of being produced by the manor, is this quality too powerful?

"Little grandma, please, don't snatch your mother's embroidery." is very good, even the lines are exactly the same as Xiao Qiliu's own brother.
