Chapter 35 The Red Man of Embroidery Village
During the meal, Ling Xiu'er was picking up rice, and the food they were eating was sent by the Sun family. The Sun family not only provided them with accommodation, but also included food and drink, and even gave a reward to the two of them.
After Cao Yu finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Ling Xiu'er fixedly, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
"Lady, I will go to Beijing to take the exam in a while, and I don't worry about leaving you alone. The Cao family is a mess, and the Li family is not a good stubble, I'm afraid you'll ......"
Ling Xiu'er was a little shy by Cao Yu's focused eyes, and felt very satisfied with her husband's love, "Xianggong, you don't have to worry about me, I won't go back here." You must concentrate on the scientific examination, don't be distracted by me, if it becomes a burden to you, I will be sad. ”
Cao Yu already knew that Ling Xiu'er was virtuous, but she also felt very happy to hear Ling Xiu'er reassure herself like this.
Two days later was Sun's birthday, and Ling Xiuer felt that she could not lose her manners, so she decided to go to Buzhuang to buy two new clothes. The proprietress of the cloth village is the Su family she knows, and she often sells her embroidery to the Su family.
"Yo, Xiu'er is here." Su Shi saw Ling Xiu'er entering the door behind the counter, put down the work in his hand, and walked out.
Su was a southerner, petite but delicate, a widow who was still charming at the age of thirty. Dressed in a Hunan embroidered dress, his noble posture is not at all like a countryman.
Ling Xiu'er saw that the Su family was still welcoming her, and hurriedly walked in.
"Oh, Sister Su, don't be so polite, welcome me." Ling Xiu'er skillfully talked to the Su family.
"Xiu'er came over today, but what good things did you embroider?" Su knew that Ling Xiu'er was a good hand at embroidery, and her store was the best selling of Ling Xiu'er's embroidery.
"No, no, Sister Su came today to buy new clothes, isn't this the champion's mother Sun's birthday banquet is coming, Mrs. Zhang invited me, I can't embarrass her."
"That's the reason, come, I'll show you."
Su Shi has been the proprietress of this cloth village for decades, plus she has a unique vision, the clothes she chose for Ling Xiu'er are really suitable for her, but Ling Xiu'er is really difficult, Su Shi has picked so many clothes for herself, how should she choose.
The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but they were pierced by a shrill female voice, "Ling Xiu'er? ”
Fan Meihua walked into the store and saw that Su Shi was choosing clothes for Ling Xiu'er, as if she had seen something rare, "Do you have any occasions to wear new clothes?" You can buy new clothes and hang them on the wall every day. ”
Fan Meihua's tone was full of mockery of Ling Xiu'er. However, this little skill is not as good as that of the Li family. Ling Xiu'er ignored her, besides, Fan Meihua was still Fan Si's sister, so if she didn't do it, she would make a commotion.
The Fan family has really had good luck in the past two years. First, he married the Qin family with the county lord, and the grain shop of the Fan family has been prosperous since then, and Fan Si has also been in the countryside under the banner of the county lord. Although Fan Meihua is not good-looking, she is very confident in her appearance. From the first day Zhang Ze came here, the Fan family made up their minds to climb Zhang Ze, the champion son-in-law.
It's just that Fan Meihua didn't know where she heard it, saying that Zhang Ze was interested in Cao Gongsheng's wife Ling Xiu'er. happened to meet on this day, and Fan Meihua naturally did not have a good face.
Ling Xiu'er didn't know if she was jealous that she was getting close to Zhang Ze, so she replied truthfully: "Naturally, I don't have a chance on weekdays, but Mrs. Zhang's birthday is coming, she treats me like a daughter, and I can't wear tattered clothes to see her." ”
As she spoke, Ling Xiu'er and Su Shi glanced at each other, and Su Shi nodded yes. Sun's kindness to Ling Xiu'er, she sees it in her eyes.
Fan Meihua was a little furious when she heard this, "The Mrs. Zhang you are talking about, is it Zhang Zhuangyuan's mother?" ”
Ling Xiu'er nodded.
Fan Meihua immediately burst out with a scream of disbelief, "You liar!" Shocked everyone present frowned in dislike.
How could Ling Xiuer get close to Zhang Zhuangyuan's mother? Fan Meihua's brain is limited, all she can think of is Ling Xiu'er Hongxing out of the wall, in order to sit in the position of Zhang Zhuangyuan's wife, start with Zhang Zhuangyuan's mother first. Thinking of this, Fan Meihua was even more angry.
"Just you? You don't look at what you look like, ugly and poor, you still want to hook up with the champion, you are married, you don't know what is called etiquette, righteousness and shame, or you are such a coquettish person, you love to seduce men! ”
Fan Meihua spoke viciously, she was so paranoized that even Su couldn't listen to it.
"Yo yo yo, which ugly person is making trouble, Xiu'er, did you hear someone talking?" Su pretended not to see Fan Meihua, and looked at Ling Xiu'er with an "innocent" expression.
"You! Who are you talking about! Fan Meihua obviously knew that Su Shi was talking about her, "Did you talk like that!" Business can't be done yet! ”
"I don't do ugly business, I don't know what I look like, and I come out to be embarrassed." Su Shi pointed at Ling Xiu'er, "No, you are not as good as our Xiu'er, I am willing to pick out clothes for her, I am willing to do business with her, and I will give Xiu'er a discount." ”
Fan Meihua's teeth itched, but Su Shiling's teeth couldn't tell her, and she said angrily: "You, you wait for me, I will never come to you to buy clothes again!" After speaking, Fan Meihua turned around and left.
"Hmph, what kind of person is it, I think I have the most beautiful appearance in the world, and I don't look in the mirror much." Su Shi looked at Fan Meihua's back, and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Sister Su, is this good, for me to offend Fan Meihua." Ling Xiu'er's expression was a little dejected, "Sister Su will definitely lose a lot of business." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not bad for her business." Su Shi turned to pick up Ling Xiu'er's clothes again, "By the way, Xiu'er, you have been making a lot less embroidery recently, is something happening?" ”
Ling Xiu'er didn't dare to tell the Su family the fact that she had turned the embroidery into a real thing with blood, so she had to prevaricate: "Recently, I have been embroidering the birthday gift for the Sun family, and I really don't have time." ”
"If you want me to say, your Cao Yu has also met a nobleman, who doesn't know now that he is a celebrity in front of the champion, he must have an unlimited future."
"Oh, Sister Su, don't say that. Don't help me pick out clothes anymore, I'll just buy one, I want to buy another one for my father-in-law. ”
"Do you want to buy one for Cao Gongsheng?" Su's interest increased, and he asked people to take a new dress from the shelf and show it to Ling Xiu'er.
Ling Xiu'er saw that the fabric was soft, the workmanship was fine, and it was a first-class product, so she said, "Sister Su, I can't afford this dress." ”
"Who made you buy it, silly sister!" Su's willow eyebrows bent, let people pick up the clothes, handed them to Ling Xiu'er, and said, "Your previous embroidery was sold well by me, and the clothes for Cao Gongsheng are considered to be given to you by my sister." ”
Of course, the Su family is not so kind, but he just sees that Cao Yu is quite promising, and wants to give a little favor in advance.
"That's embarrassing." Ling Xiu'er hurriedly excused herself, and just wanted to speak again, but was picked up by Su Shi again. "Don't be polite to me, otherwise I won't accept your embroidery in the future." As he spoke, he winked at Ling Xiu'er.
"Then thank you Sister Su."
Ling Xiu'er took her clothes and left happily, but when she walked to the front of the house, she saw Li waiting for her with a basket.
As soon as he saw her come back, Li's expression instantly lit up.
