Although Zeng Rong saw through Yu Yunqing and Amei's selfishness, he did not break it.

But since that day, the four of them surrounded a willow tree to find the cicada lying on the willow leaf or trunk, no matter what Zeng Rong pulled Ah Tao to do, Ah Mei and Ah Ying would follow, and even the meals were in and out together.

Three days later, not only Zeng Rong felt awkward, but even the careless Ah Tao sensed that something was wrong.

In fact, on the day when she surrounded the willow tree to find the cicada, Ah Tao found that the purse made by Ah Mei and Ah Ying was similar to Zeng Rong's previous in terms of style and pattern, and she was surprised, she didn't ask on the spot, Ah Mei's answer was that Zeng Rong's purse was not enough to sell, and Yu added two people to the shopkeeper, although Ah Tao was a little upset, but he didn't make a noise.

Because she understands one thing, Ah Mei is Yu Yunqing's niece, Ah Ying's mother is the mother in charge of the Bai family, and her mother is just a servant woman of the Bai family who does rough work, she is very generous to be able to enter this embroidery workshop, and her mother has entrusted a lot of people to do it, and she cherishes it very much.

But for a few days, seeing Ah Mei and Ah Ying following her and Zeng Rong inch by inch, Ah Tao saw the problem.

She didn't think that these two people were guarding against her, but thought that these two people were either guarding against Zeng Rong or currying favor with Zeng Rong, maybe both.

After all, Zeng Rong's talent is obvious to all, she was the first to take the lead in embroidering poems on silk handkerchiefs, and then Amei did the same, and the most unfair thing is that the shopkeeper Yu only let Amei do it alone.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Rong was the first to embroider cicadas and grasshoppers on the purse, not only that, Ah Rong embroidered the men's purse in the past two days and added verses, those poems even the shopkeeper didn't know what they meant, I just felt that the painting and the poem were good-looking, there was an indescribable elegance, which made people happy at a glance.

For this reason, Ah Mei and Ah Ying fell again and again, and complained that Zeng Rong must have deliberately hidden it before and did not show his true skills.

So, the two of them shouted that they wanted to embroider the patterns designed by Zeng Rongxin, or asked Zeng Rong to help them add two lines of poetry or something to the previous patterns.

Ah Tao has been in the embroidery workshop for a long time, and her understanding of the embroidery workshop is deeper than Zeng Rong's, so she guessed that there must be some important people who fell in love with the style and color of these purses, so she asked Ah Mei to embroider with Zeng Rong again.

That's why Amei will not only please Zeng Rong but also guard against Zeng Rong, currying favor is for learning art, and guarding against it is for taking risks, and that important person is the father-in-law Liu.

After figuring out this problem, when work was going on that day, Ah Tao left one step ahead of her and stopped her on the road that Zeng Rong was passing by.

Ah Tao's words just solved a mystery of Zeng Rong, no wonder Yu Yunqing would call Ah Mei over when Liu Gonggong came that day, and then the shopkeeper Yu went to her after dinner that day, and offered to let Ah Mei and Ah Ying embroider purses with her.

It's just that who will be in her purse?

Zeng Rong thought about it carefully, the purses she embroidered for Miss Ouyang were a little bit of rural fun, fluttering grasshoppers, fighting grasshoppers, dragonflies spreading their wings, and lying autumn cicadas, such things would be what Niangniang liked?

Could it be that there is a favored lady in the palace who is also from the countryside, and seeing these things is like seeing his homeland, so Gonggong Liu will take the initiative to please the other party?

There is also a possibility that there is a palace maid who is very close to Gonggong Liu from the countryside, and Gonggong Liu has set a purse to please her.

Which one might be bigger?

It's a pity that Zeng Rong's status in the previous life was too low, and she didn't know anything about the palace at all, that is, when Wang Chuchu wanted to enter the door, she learned that the queen at that time was Wang Chuchu's aunt.

Thinking of the queen, he naturally thought of the imperial concubine who had a higher wrist and a more ruthless heart, Zeng Rong couldn't help but tremble, this matter must not involve Ah Tao.

"Wouldn't it? In the palace, it is to give some rewards, and the shopkeeper can still have such shallow eyelids? If you really want to turn it out, this is, it is... Zeng Rong wanted to say that it was a "big crime of bullying the king", but when the words came to his lips, he realized that something was wrong, that person would definitely not be a "king", and if this word spread, it might cause trouble.

"What's this, people just give a reward, don't say it to the shopkeeper, don't say it, how can you know? We can't reach that father-in-law Liu. Ah Tao muttered, she was holding grievances for Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong thought farther than her, if this is the case, the shopkeeper Yu will not be able to deceive Gonggong Liu, because Gonggong Liu wants to reward the embroidery girl, and Amei is also one of them, there is nothing wrong.

To be honest, if Zeng Rong hadn't borne those blood feuds, she would never have competed with Amei for that reward, but if she wanted to climb the bridge of Gonggong Liu, she had to let the other party see her excellence.

"Okay, don't think about it, things don't know what's going on, I think what the shopkeeper said is also reasonable, I can only make one purse a day, we have such a big embroidery workshop, it's really not enough to sell." Zeng Rong took the initiative to step forward and grabbed Ah Tao.

Ah Tao thought that Zeng Rong didn't believe her, so she reached out and poked her forehead, "No, you're still young, you don't understand, you're not the only one who embroiders purses in our embroidery workshop, if it's really not enough to sell, why don't you give this job to those people?" ”

"Oh, okay, don't talk about that, you know? In the past, in the countryside, our family was so tired that we couldn't even eat a full meal, but I actually earned more than three taels of silver last month, and I will definitely be more this month, so why should I not be satisfied? So, who of them wants to embroider, and there is no shortage of my silver, so why can't I get along with everyone? It's not easy for them to really say, if it weren't for the extra money, who would want to leave their hometown and come all the way here? Zeng Rong mentioned A few words to Tao.

Ah Tao listened to this, she also remembered her life experience and her forbearance for more than a year, she had embroidered a silk handkerchief for more than a year, and it was not that she couldn't embroider a purse, but the shopkeeper had been suppressing her, what could she do?

If she really wants to stiffen according to her own temperament, where will she find such a good place to support her family?

"The truth is this truth, that is, there is a breath in the heart. . . ."

"Okay, don't be angry, it's too hot this day, I'll invite you to drink sour plum soup, it's cold and cold, just go to the heat." Zeng Rong took Ah Tao's hand and entered a teahouse on the side of the road.

Sure enough, as soon as Ah Tao heard that there was something to eat, she immediately smiled, and the previous unhappiness and unhappiness were quickly left behind.

It's a pity that the two of them couldn't laugh soon after pushing the door open.
