Chapter 10: There is nothing to be done
In the past three days, Aunt Wang has been about to be in a trance by her own speculation, and today she doesn't want to continue to speculate, I don't want to, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry.
"Jin Niang, just tell me, do you have twenty taels of silver?"
Ye Jinyu shook her head, she didn't.
Aunt Wang sat down on the stake beside her and sighed: "Jin Niang, my aunt is not an outsider, if you don't have any silver, how to give these twenty taels after this month, don't think that Doctor Yang will forget it." β
Ye Jinyu smiled slightly.
Aunt Wang was so anxious that she had nothing to do, so she had to stuff a plain white handkerchief in her hand: "Auntie's family is also difficult, this is what I sent to you privately without telling my family, no matter what, make up a little bit of it." β
Ye Jinyu spread out the handkerchief in his hand, and saw two pieces of broken silver in his palm, about one or two pieces.
At this time, she couldn't laugh and stared at Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang thought that she was not enough, and she didn't feel good in her heart: "Jin Niang, in fact, my aunt knows that Shen Ziqing has no relationship with you, so you don't have to do it for him." Auntie can see that you are a good boy, so auntie begs you, don't give up Shen Ziqing, okay? The silver is not enough, and the aunt will help you find a way, okay? β
Speaking of which, Aunt Wang was worried that Ye Jinyu would leave Shen Ziqing.
After all, Ye Jinyu is not from Yangjia Village.
After all, it was not Ye Jinyu who was bitten by the snake.
These two taels of silver, coupled with Aunt Wang's words, Ye Jinyu felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Shen Ziqing, a fool, and Aunt Wang are so worried, compared to her, she is really much luckier.
She should have been angry, angry that fate was unfair, angry that no one treated her well, and that she had such a burden. But whenever she smiled at Shen Ziqing, and shouted Jin Niang one after another, in order to save her, she didn't even want her life, she felt that she was also needed and cared for, and her heart was so soft.
She put the silver back into Aunt Wang's hand, and gestured and lip said: I can earn twenty taels by myself.
"Jin Niang, twenty taels is not a small amount, what do you want?"
Ye Jinyu thought about it, so he had to continue to compare: Tomorrow will go down the mountain.
Although Aunt Wang wanted to know what medicine was sold in Ye Jinyu's gourd, there was a communication barrier. I couldn't ask, so I had to plan to come tomorrow to pick up Ye Jinyu in person.
The next day, without waiting for Aunt Wang to go up the mountain, Ye Jinyu had already brought Shen Ziqing to her door, it turned out that she wanted to take Shen Ziqing for Dr. Yang to take a look at it to determine whether his snake venom had been fully discharged, and by the way, she asked Yuan to embroider it.
The reason why she wanted to bring Aunt Wang was to ask Aunt Wang to help her negotiate with the Yuan family, and to do as much embroidery work as possible.
It's better to come early than to come by chance, Yuan's here is worried that the embroidery girl is not enough, she received a big order, and she is in the midst of joy and sorrow.
The good thing is that if you complete such a large order, the profit will be considerable, and you will have food and clothing for this year.
Sadly, time is running out, and the list is too big, so I am afraid that it will not be completed.
The Yuan family didn't take Ye Jinyu to heart at all, so they were in a hurry here, but they didn't mean to go to her.
Coincidentally, Ye Jinyu came to her, and Yuan had no choice but to give her two pairs of embroidered shoes with the mentality of trying it out.
Ye Jinyu thought for a moment and asked for two more pairs.
Yuan's original just let Ye Jinyu retreat, two pairs of embroidered shoes, replaced by the embroidery girl in her hand, it will take a whole day, and the pattern has been set even more.
After all, it is even more difficult to match the patterns. Embroidering two pairs a day, she needs to be inspected, and the shoes can be handed over and qualified.
This black-hearted person, she wants two pairs of more when she opens her mouth, does she really think that she is giving her work?
Yuan's face sank: "Ye, let me tell you, these two pairs are for you, I want to try your embroidery skills, if you can't meet the requirements, not only will you not have to give the silver, but you will also compensate me for my losses." β
Aunt Wang couldn't help but when she heard it: "What are your losses, why do you have to compensate for your work." β
"Sister-in-law Wang, what are you yelling here, if she embroiders the upper of my shoes for me, where can I go to find it to accompany Zhao Yuanwai? Therefore, if the embroidery is broken, you have to pay for it. β
Ye Jinyu grabbed Aunt Wang and nodded at her, meaning that she agreed to Yuan's request.
She wants four pairs because she can embroider four pairs of shoes a day, and if she has two pairs, she will have to go down the mountain again today. It's a bit time-consuming.
Of course, the Yuan family is unwilling, she is not reluctant, after all, she still has to rely on the Yuan family to help her build a bridge.
In the end, Ye Jinyu only took two pairs of uppers from Yuan's side, and he didn't even have to give him a needle and thread. Yuan said that the needle and thread are not rationed, and the cost of materials can be given two more copper plates when the difference is made.
An upper gives fifty copper plates, and if it is not given needlework, it is fifty-two. Ye Jinyu didn't say much, and left directly.
Ye Jinyu gave the only copper plate to Aunt Wang, which couldn't be more obvious.
Aunt Wang had already planned to let Ye Jinyu go to her house to get needlework, but Ye Jinyu coldly gave a copper plate, which made her angry.
"Jin Niang, are you still an outsider as an aunt, this copper plate is really annoying."
Ye Jinyu was a little embarrassed.
This copper plate is indeed too stumbling, if she couldn't speak, she would have borrowed it from Aunt Wang.
"Jin Niang, the needlework is wrapped in the aunt's body, and you can make up a little bit of this silver with it."
Aunt Wang actually knows very well what kind of life Ye Jinyu and Shen Ziqing are living now, in the past, Shen Ziqing lived in her own home, she often gave him food, he often gave it to Ye Jinyu, she knew it.
After Shen Ziqing was bitten by a snake, he stayed at Ye Jinyu's side, and the two of them ate the wild vegetables that Ye Jinyu dug up in the mountains.
It's not a way to go on for a long time, so Aunt Wang insisted on giving her silver.
Ye Jinyu wanted to refuse, but Aunt Wang said again: "Jinniang, I know that it is not suitable for you to live together as a lonely man and widow, but Shen Ziqing is mentally incomplete, and everyone does not regard him as a normal man, only as a child, and he was bitten by a snake again." β
Aunt Wang glanced at Ye Jinyu's face and saw that she was not angry, so she continued: "Shen Ziqing has you to take care of, and I can rest assured, this silver, my aunt will not say anything to you, just lend it to you, and when you have it, you will return it to me." β
Ye Jinyu was still shaking his head, and Aunt Wang said again: "You eat and drink, you always want it, right?" If you want, you can naturally live in the village, just live in Shen Ziqing's father's house, his family's land, or my family is farming, if you pass this hurdle, you can live a new life, this land is also wanted, and during this period, it will be regarded as your aunt renting your land. β
Ye Jinyu knew that no matter how she refused today, Aunt Wang had made up her mind that she would give her the silver.
Ye Jinyu thought about it again and again, so he had to accept it first.
Back on the mountain, you have to pass through the village road, and many children are singing behind their backs, Ye Jinyu understands shamelessness or something.
Regardless of malice or her amusement, she didn't mind, and took Shen Ziqing back to her home on the mountain.
As soon as he returned home, Shen Zi gently pestered Ye Jinyu: "Jinniang, talk to me." β
Ye Jinyu was bent on completing the embroidered shoes, where did he have time to care: "You go to play by yourself, I want to embroider the upper." β
The voice is very hoarse and deep, and if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all.
Shen Ziqing smiled happily as if he had obtained a treasure: "Jin Niang can speak, Shen Ziqing is happy." β
Ye Jinyu smiled slightly and ignored him anymore.
In fact, today's Aunt Wang's words, she can hear something deeper, she mentioned that lonely men and widows are in the same room. If you don't agree with reason, you will be laughed at.
In the past, she minded.
However, she has always adhered to the way of women, whether it is raising her hands or throwing her feet, it is a big deal, and people can't find the slightest mistake, so what did she get?
Now, she regards Shen Ziqing as a family member, maybe in the future, she will go to Kyoto for revenge, so before that, she is willing to be kind to Shen Ziqing, as a reward for saving her life, so she doesn't care.
What the children under the mountain sang to them was naturally saying that they had no husbands and wives and no wives living in the same place, which made people laugh and made people look down on them, and she didn't care about it.
Life is lived by oneself, and how others perceive it is someone else's business.
Although Ye Jinyu's brain was a little messy, his hands were not messy, fast and steady, and in less than an hour, he embroidered a pair of shoes.
And she herself still disliked her slow embroidery, and condensed her mind, put aside distracting thoughts, and went all out to catch up.
Finally embroidered two pairs before lunch, they ate wild vegetable soup for breakfast, and by now, she was already hungry, but she was busy embroidering shoe uppers and did not go out to dig wild vegetables.
I thought I would pay the errand as soon as possible, and then get more uppers and come back to get food. I didn't want to just walk out the door, but I saw Shen Zi running home with two grilled fish.
"Jin Niang, eat fish."
"This ......"
"I caught it, the fish is so stupid, waiting for me to catch it." Shen Ziqing looked smug and stuffed a large one into Ye Jinyu's hand.
The fish is the size of a palm, very fat, Ye Jinyu was so hungry that she ate two or three bites very unceremoniously, and drank the wild vegetable soup that Shen Ziqing handed her, she didn't care to ask him how he could get these, thinking about going to the errand first, so she left Shen Ziqing and went down the mountain by herself.
As soon as Ye Jinyu left, Shen Zi ran into the forest lightly.
At the foot of the mountain, Ye Jinyu, who was well-fed, was much faster, and Yuan Shi was stunned when he saw the two embroidered uppers she took out.
The embroidery is good, the stitches are very dense, and the patterns of the two uppers are put together, which can cover each other, and not only that, but the stitches can also cover each other.
This embroidery has reached the point of being superb.
"Did it really take you two hours to embroider the two uppers?" Yuan asked again.
Ye Jinyu nodded.
Motoji Ana lives with a pounding heart.
It turned out that the person who embroidered for the Yuan family had just moved to a small town called Huaxi Town, not far from Yangjia Village.
It is said that Zhao Yuanwai was relocated from another town, and it is unknown why, and there are dozens of servants in their family alone.
And this batch of shoes and clothes is for these subordinates, it is said that after a month, Zhao Yuanwai's home will have a banquet for local people with heads and faces, and the faΓ§ade will naturally be done.
What Yuan had been worried about before was that a month's time was naturally not enough to embroider these things.
The list given by Zhao Yuanwai not only includes 50 pairs of shoes, 50 sets of gowns, 50 sets of clothes, 20 handkerchiefs, and 100 sachets for rewarding.
With Yuan's ability, she can only complete half of it, but the housekeeper of Zhao Yuanwai's family said that none of these objects can be missing, and they must come from the hands of the same batch of embroiderers, if they can't do it, the list will not be given to her.
Now that two days have passed, the two embroiderers in her hands have each completed two pairs of uppers, and if this continues, this list will not be completed.
Ye Jinyu gave Yuan's hope at this time, she was willing to put aside her personal prejudices for the time being, and complete the list first.
