CHAPTER XLII
When Lin Xiuyue and Lin Luoxing saw the love in the eyes of the villagers, they both felt that something was wrong, and they wanted to slip away. Lin Luoxing couldn't recognize all the words on the ground, in fact, Lin Xiuyue couldn't recognize them all, they didn't know if what Lin Zhiyun said was true. If it's fake, it's fine, but if it's true, both sisters will lose their faces.
It's a pity that Lin Zhiyun saw through their intentions, and when he saw that people wanted to slip away, he hurriedly shouted: "Miss Luoxing, don't go, don't you suspect that I lied to you?" Then ask these four gentlemen what I wrote on the ground. ”
Lin Luoxing was in a hurry and walked faster. Lin Xiuyue didn't dare to go fast with a small belly, and when she saw Lin Luoxing throw her down alone, she secretly scolded her for having no conscience. After Lin Xiuyue saw the eyes of the villagers, she scolded Lin Luoxing in her heart for being a fool, didn't running so fast show that she was weak-hearted? Now the illiterate villagers think that Lin Luoxing is illiterate.
Mrs. Huang walked over and said with a smile: "These three words are Yi, otter, and Yi." The first Yi character has a beautiful meaning, mostly referring to virtue. The second otter character is mostly the name of the animal. The third character refers to the appearance of a burning fire. ”
The villagers heard Mrs. Huang read the same as Lin Zhiyun, and explained the meaning to them by the way, and they also had a little more respect for Mrs. Huang, so they despised Lin Luoxing even more. You must know that when Lin Zhiyun's reputation was ruined, Lin Xiuyue and Lin Luoxing sisters had a very good reputation, saying that they were not only proficient in weaving and embroidery, but also could read and write, and they were more worthy of Xu Xiucai than Lin Zhiyun, because they could be literate and against Xu Xiucai's poetry!
The result? I can't recognize all these words, how can I recite the poem correctly? It can be seen that all those reputations back then were spread by the Lin family, and it was really unkind, and they actually did this kind of thing in order to rob other people's good relatives.
That's right, in the eyes of most villagers, marrying Xu Bowen is still a good family affair, after all, this is the only talent in their Baihua Town. Even if Shen Junchuan's legs are not lame after marriage, he will not be so confused, and he will even go to the academy to study, but who can guarantee that he will be able to take the exam in the future before he comes out?
Before Shen Junchuan was admitted to Xiucai, everyone would think that Xu Bowen was better.
Lin Xiuyue felt the disdain of the villagers, and couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand.
"Fang Cai is my sister reckless, she contradicted the second sister, and I hope the second sister doesn't mind."
Lin Xiuyue showed a gentle smile, just hoping to make up for it in front of everyone. However, in the eyes of the villagers, none of their Lin family's big houses are good things, and she can't make up for it for a long time.
Mrs. Huang didn't take her seriously, turned her head to Lin Zhiyun and smiled: "I heard that Mrs. Shen is a proficient female celebrity, I happen to have a painting here that I want to embroider, I wonder if Mrs. Shen can help?" ”
"You have to look at that painting before you know, if Mrs. Huang doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to the cold house and sit down?" Lin Zhiyun greeted with a smile.
Mrs. Huang naturally had no opinion, picked up the painting scroll and followed Lin Zhiyun, and Mrs. Li also followed, she was also interested in embroidery.
After arriving at the Shen family, Mrs. Huang opened the painting scroll, which turned out to be a landscape and pastoral painting, the painting work was excellent, and the scenery on the painting was even more fascinating, Lin Zhiyun liked it at a glance. After the whole painting was fully opened, Lin Zhiyun showed a regretful look, because the paper at the bottom of the painting seemed to have been wet with some water, the paper was wrinkled and yellowed, and the ink color was blurred a lot.
"It turned out to be Mr. Huang Yan's painting, and it was really good. Just ......"
Mrs. Huang sighed: "My grandson told me very early on that he wanted to retreat to the countryside, this is the picture he imagined, and he specially painted it for me as a birthday gift. I loved this painting so much that I always hung it in my house, and one day the roof leaked, and it became like this. ”
Mrs. Huang was very sorry when she thought about it, and Lin Zhiyun also felt sorry for this painting.
"It's a shame indeed." Mrs. Li also sighed.
Mrs. Huang smiled at Lin Zhiyun again: "I also went to see the girl of the Liu family when she got married, and the wedding dress was really elegant and joyful, I borrowed it from her for a long time, and I knew that the wedding dress was all embroidered by you yourself, so I wanted to come to you." ”
"Madame Huang wants me to embroider this painting?"
Mrs. Huang nodded: "If this painting can be embroidered, then I won't be afraid of the wind and rain in the future." Cloth, although it can also stain, is not as fragile as paper. I asked Miss Liu about the price of her wedding dress, and it was not as cumbersome as Miss Liu's wedding dress. If you can embroider it exactly the same with embroidery, then I will give you five hundred taels of silver. ”
Lin Zhiyun looked at the painting a few more times, and felt a little more sure in his heart, so he nodded and smiled: "Since Mrs. Huang can trust me, then I will take this job, if the embroidery is not good at that time, I will not accept a penny." But what's down there? The ink was blurred, and I couldn't see it clearly. ”
Mrs. Huang put the painting away: "This is the original painting, I still want to take it back and treasure it." As for embroidery, in two days I will send me the paintings I copied, and you can follow the embroidery I copied. ”
Lin Zhiyun could see that Mrs. Huang attached great importance to that painting, so she didn't have any opinions. If Shen Junchuan also gave her such a thoughtful and good-looking painting on her birthday, she would definitely treasure it for a lifetime.
Mrs. Li was curious: "Is the embroidery of the Shen family's younger brothers and sisters very good?" I don't know if there are any embroideries at home that I can see? ”
The embroidery embroidered by Lin Zhiyun is basically taken out and sold directly, and the only thing left in the house is her wedding dress. Lin Zhiyun hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the wedding dress.
"I also embroidered this wedding dress with my own hands, because the thread used at that time was not good enough, and the time for embroidery was not enough, so I could only embroider to this extent. It would have been better if we had done it now. ”
Mrs. Huang had heard about the Lin family's original drama, and she also felt a little emotional, thinking that the Xu family really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds. is obviously a capable daughter-in-law who has been set since childhood, and she still has a great favor to him, but as long as he has a little conscience to marry someone, he will not miss Lin Zhiyun such a cash cow.
Mrs. Li didn't know about these things, but it was a family matter, and she wouldn't delve too much into it. Lin Zhiyun didn't care about how many problems she encountered in embroidering this wedding dress, what she cared about was how Lin Zhiyun embroidered it? If the conditions are not clear enough to embroider so well, if she doesn't encounter any problems, then what should she embroider into?
"Can the Shen family brother and sister teach me embroidery?" Mrs. Li's eyes lit up when she looked at Lin Zhiyun, "I don't need to learn any complicated, rare or even unique embroidery methods, I just need to learn something that anyone can learn." My husband hasn't had a new dress for several years, and I want to make him a new one myself. ”
Lin Zhiyun looked at Mrs. Li's appearance and couldn't help but think of herself at the beginning, when she first arrived at the Shen family, she was taken care of by Shen Junchuan everywhere, and she also wanted to repay one or two, seeing that Shen Junchuan had no new clothes for several years, she hurriedly made two clothes for him.
Lin Zhiyun was a little kind to Mrs. Li because of this, and smiled at Mrs. Li: "Mrs. Li doesn't need to be so polite, just call me Yun Niang." As for embroidery, I also want to do it during this time, and if Mrs. Li doesn't bother, just come to me in your spare time. ”
Mrs. Li was very happy when she heard this, she was actually a little out of character, and when she saw that Lin Zhiyun was no longer polite to her, she reported her name.
"My surname is Yang, my name is Yang Feixu, you can just call me Sister Xu."
Mrs. Huang saw that the two of them were suddenly like sisters, so she smiled and said, "Since you are all called sisters, how about calling me Sister Xia?" I'm not a little older than you. ”
Mrs. Huang is in her early 40s this year, but she is well maintained, and she looks to be only in her early thirties. Lin Zhiyun and Yang Feixu didn't know her real age, and when they heard her say this, they thought she was only ten years older than them. Although ten years old is quite old, it's okay to call my sister.
"Sister Xia, hello." Lin Zhiyun's mouth was quite sweet to the person he liked.
She liked this Mrs. Huang almost at the first sight, because Mrs. Huang was not only beautiful, but also had a unique temperament. Lin Zhiyun has seen many people in his life, and it is the first time he has seen such a temperament.
The village school couldn't be done for a while, and the house of the four masters was not settled, so Mr. Huang took Mrs. Huang back to Qingshui Town to live first. And Li Xiucai couldn't stay in his hometown anymore, so he continued to stay in Huaihua Village and lived in Shen's house temporarily.
Yang Feixu was very happy when she knew that they would live in the Shen family temporarily, because then she didn't have to run errands every day when she asked Lin Zhiyun for embroidery.
Yang Feixu studied poetry and poetry before leaving the cabinet, and her mother's family background is quite solid, so she has read a lot of books, but Yu Nuhong is not proficient in this aspect, because at that time she also had maids to serve, and she didn't have to do many things herself. But Master Yang didn't want her to marry a poor scholar in the countryside, but he couldn't resist Yang Feixu, and in the end he didn't do anything for Yang Feixu, and threw her directly to the Li family.
The Li family was guilty and grateful to the Yang family, but they were very distressed by Yang Feixu and didn't let her do anything. It was only after the death of the two elders of the Li family that the pure-minded Li Xiucai couldn't fight those who fought with him for the family property, and finally the couple were driven out in disgrace.
Only then did Yang Feixu know that it was difficult to use poetry after marriage, and when they couldn't live their lives, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea were the first thing, but fortunately, with the Shen family, these things were settled in the future. I just don't know how long this Shen family can help them?
She has to learn more things as soon as possible, so that she will not be able to live in this Huaihua Village in the future, and she can also do something else to make a living. She can't let Li Xiucai do anything for her anymore, she always has to do something for Li Xiucai, doesn't she?
