Chapter 513: Dong's Embroidery Village (I)
With Wang Yong's promise, Liu Fan's last little concern was instantly gone, and when he returned to the Xu family's courtyard, Liu Fan told the good news to Dong Xiaowan who was looking forward to it for the first time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since I knew that it was Dong Qingshan, the "uncle" whom I had always respected, that killed my family, Dong Xiaowan was like an ant on a hot pot, not idle for a moment, always thinking about how to avenge his revenge, and dangling around Liu Fan all day and night, which made Liu Fan feel a big headache.
Now that things have finally come to an eyebrow, not only Liu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but even Dong Xiaowan's mood was obviously relaxed a lot. However, his own affairs were put aside for the time being, and other worries quietly surfaced in Dong Xiaowan's heart, only to see Dong Xiaowan's face sad, and said softly with a little worry, "Brother Jimin, the slaves heard that those salt merchants are all big bad guys, bad guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, Brother Jimin cooperates with them, isn't it seeking skin with the tiger?" ”
"Poof!" Liu Fan glanced at this little confused with black lines on his head, stretched out his hand and gently scratched the girl's upturned nose, and said with a smile: "Little fool, who is your brother Jimin?" If you're afraid, they're afraid of me! Even if I really seek skin with the tiger, that tiger should be me! Have you forgotten that I am also a salt merchant, and I am a big salt merchant who threw away his armor and beat the two Huai salt merchants! ”
"Uh" Dong Xiaowan remembered that his future husband was also one of the world's largest salt merchants. Finding the hidden smile in Liu Fan's eyes, Dong Xiaowan was even more ashamed, buried his little head in Liu Fan's arms, and muttered shyly and timidly, "Brother Jimin, Xiao Wan, really didn't mean it, don't blame Xiao Wan!" ”
"How so!" Liu Fan couldn't help rubbing the girl's hair, and said with a doting face, "Xiao Wan said this because he cared about me, how could Brother Jimin not know?" And what you said is right, those Lianghuai salt merchants are indeed not good people, you can see their true colors clearly, it is too late for Brother Jimin to be happy! In fact, if it is not necessary, I don't want to have any entanglement with these greedy salt merchants, but in the current situation, you should also know that if we want to solve Dong Qingshan, we must use the power of these local snakes, and I did this out of helplessness! ”
"Hmm!" Dong Xiaowan naturally understood the meaning of Liu Fan's words, and she naturally knew Liu Fan's situation. Even if a Shandong general soldier has great ability, he can't deploy it in a place like Suzhou. So Dong Xiaowan understands Liu Fan's distress in doing this. With her humble status, Liu Fan can pay so much for her, what else does Dong Xiaowan have to ask for?
Greatly moved, Dong Xiaowan's heart softened a little, and hugged Liu Fan's tiger waist and said firmly, "As long as I help my mother but I have my wish, Xiaowan has nothing else to ask for in this life, I just want to be by her husband's side for the rest of her life and never leave for a moment!" ”
Liu Fan gently patted Xiao Wan's jade back and comforted, "Hmm! Yes, definitely! ”
The next day, the morning sun gently sprinkled on the earth through the mist, located in the south of Suzhou, Dongjia Embroidery Village near the north shore of Taihu Lake also ushered in a new day.
The most sustained Su embroidery family that has lasted for more than 200 years, the Dong family's embroidery village is also a large one even on the north bank of Taihu Lake, where embroidery villages are lined up. The Dong family's Suzhou embroidery time, the female workers of the embroidery village are also slightly different from other small embroidery villages. Generally, most of the female workers in the embroidery village are employed in the countryside or surrounding towns and villages with outstanding skills, and the relationship between the female workers and the embroidery village is an employment relationship. And most of the embroidery girls of the Dong family are selected and trained by their own families since childhood, so that the embroidery girls are not only exquisite in skill and perfect craftsmanship, but also have a sense of belonging to the embroidery village, it can be said that in addition to the signboard that has been passed down for more than 100 years, the most valuable wealth of the Dong family embroidery village is the embroidery girl who grew up in the embroidery village.
Because the time is still early, it is not the beginning of the hour, so in the past, people came and went, and the lively embroidery village had just opened at this moment, and there were only three or five servants at the door cleaning the street courtyard. The embroidery girls in the embroidery village have just gotten up to wash up at this moment, and the girls gathered next to the well, holding willow branches and small salt pots and chatting about the interesting things that happened yesterday. This ancient and decaying embroidery village seems to have been re-exuded with youth and vitality by the young girls like silver bells.
At this moment, a male duck's throat-like sharp curse suddenly came: "You stinky girls, your hands and feet are numb, don't look at what time it is?" Do you want to start work? If you are delayed, be careful with your skins! ”
This picturesque scenery was shattered in an instant. When several girls beside the well heard this voice, their bodies trembled violently, as if some wild beast was about to approach. Seeing this, the less timid girls hurriedly turned around, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and begged in a low voice, "Mama Li spare your life, we will go to work immediately, please forgive the slaves and maids this time!" ”
The youngest of the girls, the most beautiful one is a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who was furious when she saw this, and took a few steps forward to help up the girls who fell to the ground, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she looked directly at Mama Li's old face with a pretty face, and said indignantly, "Sisters, don't ask for this old woman!" She doesn't dare to do anything to us! If you hurt us and delay our work, this old woman can't afford to be guilty! Besides, it's only an hour, and it's been more than half an hour since we left work, so we haven't done anything wrong, so why apologize to her? ”
"It's the other way around!" When Mama Li saw that someone dared to confront her face, she suddenly became angry and trembled. Mama Li raised her orchid fingers, pointed at the little girl who spoke, and scolded, "Xiao Yurong, you little hoof, don't think that your embroidery is outstanding, you can rely on its unscrupulous offence, annoy your mother-in-law, and still beat your skin and flesh, and kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!" ”
Xiao Yurong straightened her body, and said without hesitation, "Fight, fight!" If you have the ability, you can come! Is this girl really afraid of you, an old woman? ”
"You, you..." Xiao Yurong said this, and Mama Li hesitated even more. She also knew very well that Xiao Yurong was an outstanding embroiderer and was one of the most skilled people in the embroidery village, if she really broke her, Dong Qingshan, the owner of the embroidery village, would not spare her. But if she doesn't teach this stinky girl a lesson, then her Mama Li's face will be gone. At this moment, Mama Li also secretly regretted it, knowing that Xiao Yurong, a girl with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, was the most difficult, but she sent it to the door by herself, isn't this asking for trouble!
