Chapter 27 The Descendants of Beijing Embroidery
I have to say that Zhao Jizhu's request is simply unreasonable, even if you find someone who knows how to embroider in Beijing, you make your clothes, do ordinary people dare to wear them? Even if she is the daughter of the county lord, she is like a crow in front of a real nobleman.
"It doesn't have to be, Miss Zhao said that she just fell in love with the pattern anyway."
Cheng Niangzi lowered her head after speaking, in fact, the most angry thing was just this sentence, Tang Chu was really unhappy, and it was just as delicate to get along with her in her previous life.
She will be a favored concubine in the future, not to mention that she is using Beijing embroidery now, maybe she will have a phoenix crown on her head at that time, anyway, Zhao Zhenzhu's temperament will be as rich as her life.
"I'll be satisfied with her when I do it, and hurry up and ask where there is an embroiderer who knows how to embroider in Beijing."
After sending Cheng Niangzi away, Tang Chu's good mood for resting before was all disturbed, Shuangxi poured tea, and said indignantly: "Miss Zhao's character is really difficult to scout, I don't know how Miss Xie plays with her."
It is obvious to everyone that Xie Yaoyao and Zhao Zhenzhu have a good relationship, but in fact, Tang Chu also grew up with them, but he just can't get close to Zhao Zhenzhu.
Familiar strangers couldn't have used it best to describe the relationship between Tang Chu and Zhao Jizhu.
"Let the kitchen cook a few dishes, and if you don't go back to the house to eat today, let's solve it here."
My father was not at home, and he ate by himself, so it was better to settle the dinner in Tangdong.
Shuangxi listened and hurriedly responded, so he went upstairs to report Tang Chu's favorite dishes, and the person who served the dishes this time was actually Zou Shiyan, it turned out that there was a shortage of manpower below, so Zou Shiyan came to deliver it.
"It's been a lot of work." Tang Chu hadn't seen Zou Shiyan for a long time, and he only felt that the person in front of him seemed to have lost some weight, after all, I heard them say that Zou Shiyan still went to the dock every night to do hard labor.
"It's fine." Zou Shiyan finished speaking and was about to leave, but he happened to meet Shuangxi who came back from changing tea, and the two bumped together, and the hot tea splashed on his body, which was really painful.
Shuangxi was also panicked, hurriedly put down his things, and kept apologizing to Zou Shiyan, Tang Chu also knew that Shuangxi had always changed tea was very hot, so he also went up to check.
Fortunately, in the end, Zou Shiyan compromised and lifted his shirt to say that he was fine, and the two slowly dispersed, Zou Shiyan put the used handkerchief on his body, and the sharp-eyed Tang Chu noticed it.
"The pines and cypresses on Zou Gongzi's handkerchief are very chic."
How could a person who was so frugal with Zou Shiyan put the pattern of pine and cypress on the handkerchief, and besides, if Zou Shiyan didn't pay for it himself, who would give it to him.
Hearing Tang Chu's question, Zou Shiyan could only take out the handkerchief and explain: "This is the handkerchief that helped a mother and son yesterday, and then she repaid me."
It doesn't matter if you don't pay for it, but Tang Chu was dumbfounded, just now he was still struggling with the matter of Beijing embroidery, but in the blink of an eye, there was a veritable Beijing embroidery handkerchief in front of him.
Tang Chu was so excited, he even picked up the handkerchief and took a good look at it, and after confirming that this was the exercise of Jing embroidery, he smiled happily and hurriedly asked, "Who gave this to you?" Can you take me to her? ”
"Yes." Although Zou Shiyan didn't know what could make Tang Chu so happy, he agreed as soon as his mind was hot, at least for now, it was not a bad thing.
"Miss, the dishes are almost ready, let's eat it, besides, the weather is very cold now, if Miss goes out and catches a cold, it won't be good."
didn't bring a thick shawl, Shuangxi didn't want to freeze his own young lady, so the young lady suffered a lot, and the master would punish himself.
"It's okay, you can go downstairs and get something to eat." Tang Chu was afraid that Shuangxi would catch the girl, so she asked her to hurry up and solve the two mouthfuls, looked at Zou Shiyan at the door and said, "Sit down and eat together."
Zou Shiyan wanted to leave, but it was a little difficult to hear her say this, and he quickly ran away with double happiness, and now there was really no one around.
"Miss Tang, this is a little inappropriate, I still need my help downstairs."
"How can so many people downstairs have to be busy with you, come and dine together, and by the way, tell me about the woman who embroidered the handkerchief for you."
After Tang Chu finished speaking, Zou Shiyan, who was brainless, was still reluctant and added: "This matter has helped me a lot, I hope that Shopkeeper Zou can tell me truthfully."
Sure enough, Zou Shiyan heard that it was indeed loose, and after taking a few steps forward, he hesitated and sat down, and it was the first time to communicate with Tang Chu face-to-face, and he couldn't help but redden.
"Double happiness, I'm preparing a bowl of rice and chopsticks."
Seeing people seated, Tang Chu immediately called Shuangxi to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, this Shuangxi had already been prepared at the door, and as soon as he heard the summons, he immediately entered the house and put the rice in front of Zou Shiyan, and went downstairs after doing everything.
So the two of them talked about the meal.
It turned out that Zou Shiyan also met these two people by chance, when Zou Shiyan came out of Tangdong at the end of the day, he saw a lot of people on the road, and he saw that it was actually a man who sold his own daughter, and the mother was unwilling to live or die.
It may be that the woman kowtowed and admitted her mistakes, so that Zou Shiyan really couldn't stand it, so she went up and taught the man a lesson, saving the woman's daughter from being sold, and the woman thanked him, so she gave a handkerchief.
In fact, the main reason is that Zou Shiyan refuses to accept anything.
Tang Chu was very happy when he heard this, and thought that with this, the woman would definitely help.
"I don't know why Miss Tang is looking for this woman, could it be that she is so special?"
"Don't you know, this handkerchief she gave you, it's embroidered with Beijing embroidery, no wonder she will give you a handkerchief, this Beijing embroidery is royal embroidery, ordinary people have even officials will look at it twice, and those who don't even buy it at a high price."
Tang Chu said, suddenly felt that something was wrong, if that woman really had this ability, would her man still be guilty of selling his daughter? People who know how to embroider in Beijing are generally from the palace, and how many simple people can come out of the palace?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, Tang Chu simply wanted Zou Shiyan to take it over after eating.
Zou Shiyan also sent the two of them home, although they left once, they still remembered clearly, and drove Tang Chu to the woman's house in a carriage.
It was a small yard with flowers and very simple furnishings, but the atmosphere reflected was by no means something that ordinary people could create.
The woman wrapped a canvas around her head, was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks left over from dinner, and looked through the window to simply Zou Shiyan, and immediately went out with a smile and said, "The benefactor is here."
However, when he went out, he saw Tang Chu following behind and said, "This is the benefactor's wife?"
"Ah, no, this is my host's lady, and I came here mainly because I want to ask you for help."
As soon as he heard the misunderstanding, Zou Shiyan hurriedly explained, and glanced at Tang Chu secretly, for fear that she would mind.
