It turned out that Li Man came this time to ask Zeng Rong to embroider a screen.

After going out of the embroidery workshop with Wang Fan and Gu Tou that day, Li Man asked Wang Fan why he couldn't get along with a little embroidery girl, Wang Fan didn't admit that he couldn't get along with Zeng Rong, on the contrary, he thought that he was taking care of Zeng Rong and wanted to introduce Zeng Rong to some embroidery work, so it was equivalent to indirectly telling the shopkeeper and boss of the embroidery workshop that Zeng Rong was a person he valued and should not be easily bullied.

From this, Li Man learned that Zeng Rong was from the countryside, and his age was three or four years younger than the average embroiderer, and he had no roots and no foundation, so it was difficult to say that he was not excluded and bullied.

After separating from Wang Fan and Gu Tou, Li Man didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't let go of this matter, from time to time he remembered Zeng Rong's hesitation when he stood in front of Ju Mingxuan, and also remembered her concentration when she was flipping through books in the bookstore, as well as her calmness when she was teased by them, and her determination when she rejected them in the embroidery workshop that day.

What kind of woman is this?

Coming from the countryside, looking at the height, he is eleven or twelve years old, wearing a cotton coarse shirt, no grease powder, and no accessories, except for a purse hanging in front of his waist.

Especially after seeing Zeng Rong's embroidery patterns and listening to her talk about those feelings about Zen, Li Man had a little respect for this woman, and from Zeng Rong, he saw for the first time what it means to be free and comfortable, and what is desireless and what it means to be immobile.

It turns out that not all poor people are vulgar, not all poor people are hateful, not all poor people are stupid, not all poor people are humble and cowardly, there are also people like Zeng Rong, who have endured hardships and stood hard work since childhood, and supported themselves with their own abilities, neither humble nor arrogant, not contemptuous or cheap, just like the lotus flower that blooms in the mud, even if the surrounding environment is dirty and messy, it can release the most holy fragrance.

This was the first time that Li Man was bothered by a strange woman, and he knew that it was wrong for him to go on like this, so after groaning for a while, he entered the practice room, picked up the sword, and walked the swordsmanship he had learned over and over again, until he was sweating profusely until he was exhausted.

Who knew that two days had passed, instead of letting go of Zeng Rong, he was curious about this woman, and at the same time he wanted to know, what is this woman's talent, what is her family background, and whether she will encounter injustice and injustice when she comes out to make a living at a young age.

Coincidentally, his sister of a mother's compatriot will come out of the cabinet next year, he thought of a reason, sent a congratulatory gift to his sister, he painted a picture himself, and asked Zeng Rong to embroider it to make a screen, so he took this painting to see Zeng Rong.

This is the first time he took the initiative to see a woman, so he was inevitably a little shy and timid, but he drew a peony map, both afraid that Zeng Rong would see his thoughts and afraid that his heart would be in vain.

Zeng Rong does know the meaning of peony flowers, and most of the love between men and women is given to each other with peony, and there are also those who use it to express their feelings of farewell, so peony means love and separation.

Therefore, Zeng Rong was really startled when she saw this painting, but fortunately, she was relatively calm, her face was not obvious, and the other party quickly stammered and explained that it was a wedding gift for her sister, and Zeng Rong was relieved.

As if he was afraid that Yu Yunqing on the side would misunderstand, Li Man specially explained: "Peony, like peony, symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness, but peony is too graceful and noble, and has the reputation of national color and fragrance, and ordinary people are not easy to compare, so they chose peony." ”

This reminded Zeng Rong, she remembered an allusion, it seems that Wang Anshi is the prime minister, it is the good luck of encountering the famous peony product "Golden Belt Wai", so she couldn't help but blurt out: "Could it be that you are painting the Golden Belt Circle?" ”

"Exactly, could it be that the girl also knows the allusion of Wang Anshi?" Li Man's eyes suddenly overflowed with stars, bright and soft.

Zeng Rong suddenly woke up, and said busily: "I'm sorry, this son, I'm really sorry, the work in my hands will take a while to end, I'm afraid it will delay Ling Mei's wedding, it's better to do this, please ask our shopkeeper to find another proper person for you, what should you do?" ”

After speaking, Zeng Rong looked at Yu Yunqing.

"This son, there are many embroidery girls in our embroidery workshop who are hired from the south, Suzhou, Shu, Guangdong, Hunan, Bian, and other major schools, you see, which one do you want to choose?" Yu Yunqing asked.

"This? This... Li Man obviously didn't expect such a result, where did he know what sect and what embroidery method, he just wanted to help Zeng Rong, who knew that Zeng Rong still didn't appreciate it.

"Childe rest assured, our embroidery girl here is really good, if you think it is not good to choose, I suggest you choose Su embroidery, Suzhou embroidery on both sides, you can see this painting on both sides, I believe that Ling Mei will be able to feel your reluctance and maintenance heart." Zeng Rong guessed that the other party definitely didn't understand embroidery, and directly put forward his own suggestion.

She looked at the painting carefully while she was talking, and found that this son's painting skills were really good, he painted a garden railing, a flower garden, peony flowers blooming, the glow bathes the body, the sun sets, and there is an inscription poem on it, "The peony flowers bloom out of the old column, and the spring shirt hides tears and then looks at it, the master is not always in the flowers, and it is better than the green pine to keep the cold year." ”

From this painting and this poem, Zeng Rong felt the heart of this son's fist for his sister, and he talked a lot again.

"It's okay, just listen to the girl, when will the girl..." Li Man originally wanted to say that he would use the double-sided embroidery of Su embroidery when he heard Zeng Rong, as for this embroidery, he still tended to hand it over to Zeng Rong, but halfway through the words, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Just ask this shopkeeper to bother more, oh, by the way, my name is Li Man, the road is long and the night is long, and the town is from the Mansion." ”

"It turned out to be Li Gongzi of the Zhenguo Mansion, I have admired it for a long time, the slave family has long heard of Li Gongzi's name, and I can see it today, it is really extraordinary, so elegant at a young age, no wonder they all praise you for what kind of son you are like jade, unparalleled in the world or something. . . ." Yu Yunqing's face was suddenly full of smiles.

"Shopkeeper Yu, you better help this son find a suitable embroiderer first, right? Whodo you think is more suitable, I'll call her for you. Zeng Rong interrupted the shopkeeper.

She thinks she's too noisy and too enthusiastic, this son is obviously different from the ladies she has been in contact with every day, how can she want to stay here and listen to her unobtrusive words?

It's going to scare people away.

Not only Li Man, she was also the one who wanted to run, because she had already seen that the other party came to her to embroider just a reason, and it was true that she wanted to see her curious about her and wanted to help her, but she had no intention of doing it, so she would want to leave.
