Chapter 2 The Little Moon Girl

Zilang country fish and rice country, rivers and lakes vertically and horizontally, mulberry silk weaving developed, embroidery is exquisite and unique, women will learn embroidery since childhood.

A "Dragon Boat Festival Flood", the flood flooded many fertile fields, strong men went out to earn rations, and women took out embroidery tools one after another, some of which were used to supplement some household use.

Lin Jiazhuang's Lin Grandma widow for many years, there is a hand embroidery stunt, this year's year is not good, rice prices soared, after the Dragon Boat Festival she brought back a granddaughter, less than night and day, light the lamp and boil oil to catch up.

"Mother-in-law, is it hurting again?" Lan Yue swept the yard and entered the house, and saw Grandma Lin put down the embroidery needle in her hand and pressed her neck with her hand.

"I'll press it for you," she sighed as she helped Grandma Lin massage her shoulders and back, "I'm here to drag my mother-in-law down, and I can't do anything." ”

Grandma Lin pulled Lan Yue and sat her down, her eyes full of love, "Xiaoyue, how many times have you said this, since your mother-in-law brought you back, she must take care of you, otherwise how will she explain to your family in the future!" ”

"But...... I don't know anything but boiling water to cook, and besides, I've just learned how to cook, and it's not delicious. ”

"You don't know how to be a female celebrity, you have done your best to do these things now, and your mother-in-law is in a much better mood with you!" Grandma Lin looked at her with a smile.

When Grandma Lin was young, she was also a famous embroidery lady in ten miles and eight towns, and it was common for her to go in and out of the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Although this girl is tight-lipped about her life experience, Grandma Lin can see that she is a kind and good child, and there must be something unspeakable.

Grandma Lin's son died early on the battlefield, and her only daughter married far away, and recently received a message from her son-in-law's clan that because of the plague, there was only one granddaughter left in the son-in-law's family, and she was going to join her grandmother with her businessman.

Just when Grandma Lin went to pick it up as agreed, who would have thought that the boat would encounter a sharp rise in the river, and all the people in the boat would be swept away by the water, and her granddaughter would not be found.

The granddaughter is missing, and Grandma Lin's last thought is broken, it is better to be a hundred, maybe God pities her old woman, who originally went to Yueming Lake to find a short view, but found a "granddaughter" who is like a flower.

In order not to cause trouble, simply let Lan Yue use her granddaughter's name, anyway, no one in Linjiazhuang has seen what that girl looks like.

In the blink of an eye, "Pan Xiaoyue" has been in Linjiazhuang for nearly two months, and the neighbors found that Grandma Lin, who had always been depressed, gradually stretched her wrinkled face, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

Grandma Lin, the granddaughter, always makes people feel a little unusual, she looks dignified and atmospheric, she is also literate and hyphenated, and there is a faint kind of indescribable extravagance, and it didn't take long for more people to come to the door to propose marriage.

In the afternoon of this day, the scorching sun was on the head, and the cicadas were singing one after another, making people even more irritable, Lan Yue was lying on the bamboo mat, holding a bamboo fan for Grandma Lin, who was immersed in embroidery, and suddenly a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard, "Is Grandma Lin there?" ”

Lan Yue turned over and jumped up, ran out of the door, turned back to Grandma Lin and said, "Mother-in-law, when the matchmaker leaves, you go to Chunlan's house to find me......" Before the words were finished, there was no one in sight.

Chunlan lives next door to Grandma Lin, has a young brother, three orphans and widows, barely living at home, when Grandma Lin is free, she often teaches her embroidery skills, and Chunlan also comes over from time to time to help her mother-in-law do something.

Since the appearance of "Pan Xiaoyue", the two girls have similar temperaments, and it didn't take long for Chunlan to be like a shadow, following behind Lan Yue all day long, and she was the only one who looked forward.

At this time, Chunlan was arranging the silk thread in the house, and suddenly heard a "bang" outside, someone jumped into the courtyard, and she was the only one at home today, and she couldn't help but be frightened.

Before he could figure out what to do, he heard a gentle knock on the door, and Lan Yue's voice: "Chunlan, open the door, it's me!" ”

"Sister Xiaoyue, you're scared me to death......" Chunlan opened the door and looked at her in surprise, "Sister Xiaoyue, why did you come over the wall!" ”

Lan Yue patted the ash on her body and frowned, "That matchmaker Wang came again, and she was blocked at the gate of the courtyard, so I had to climb over the wall!" ”

"Sister Xiaoyue, isn't it just a matchmaker, as for you to climb over the wall?" Chunlan still had some palpitations.

"You don't know how annoying that matchmaker is, is it true that everyone in ten miles and eight towns is looking for her matchmaker? Every time I come, I pull me to watch it endlessly, and it makes people's hairs stand up! ”

Chunlan's mood was very complicated, "Sister Xiaoyue, do you know how jealous others are of you?" ”

"Jealous of what? Who is it? She was a little surprised.

"It's Jiao Xing in the east of the village, she asked me about you yesterday, she didn't care about me when she saw me before!"

"Jiaoxing?" Blue Moon thought back for a long time, "Oh...... It's the girl in the red dress, I had a photo two days ago, and she was jealous of me? ”

Jiao Xing's name is like her person, with a pair of apricot eyes, delicate appearance, and a hand of family embroidery skills, since the age of fourteen, her family is the most matchmaker in Zhuangzi.

In Zilang Country, if anyone has a good embroiderer, it is enough to feed a family, and the people who have given birth to girls are quite complacent, but they can really become excellent embroiderers, they still have to have considerable talent.

Therefore, although there are many young women who are skilled in embroidery, the woman's parents are generally willing to keep their daughters for a few more years, so that they can supplement the family and slowly pick a good family.

"Sister Xiaoyue, don't you know, those matchmakers originally ran to Jiaoxing's house, but now almost all of them have come to Grandma Lin!"

Chunlan's tone was a little angry, this Jiao Xing has always been above the top, and almost no one among the girls of the same age in Linjiazhuang wants to be close to her, except for that ...... Yufen!

Lan Yue was full of depression, and she didn't seem to notice Chunlan's pride, she put her hand on her forehead and said with a headache: "Let's let the matchmaker continue to go to Jiao Xing!" ”
