Chapter 11 Find some work
The fake Taoist priest's original name was Jia Daoshi, and he was the most unpopular gangster in Cuizhu Town, Songyue County, because of this name, he was inspired, and one day he stole the robe and dust of a Taoist priest who was bathing by the river, and began to embark on the road of pit abduction.
He is also a little smart, he never cheats people in Cuizhu Town, he specially picks places far away from Cuizhu Town, as long as the money given to him satisfies him, he is willing to do anything. It's just that he was diagnosed with tuberculosis last year, and he has been much more honest since then.
But it costs money to treat this disease, and he saw that the money he had cheated before was getting less and less, and he accidentally moved crookedly again, and he deceived his attending doctor to come with him. In order not to let Dr. Zhang get disgusted, Jia Daoshi not only gave Dr. Zhang all the money on his body, but also apologized to Jiang Xuehe, and finally made Jiang Xuehe let him catch the car with Yang Dashu, of course, this is mainly what Dr. Zhang promised.
Dr. Zhang was benevolent and said: "This person has tuberculosis is obviously retribution, but for the sake of my acquaintance with his father, I will watch him in the future, and I will not ask him to do bad things again, how about Mrs. Gu give him another chance?" ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Dr. Zhang has helped me a lot in the past two days, and I must give you your favor." Although this person has bad intentions, he will turn back in time, and as long as he doesn't harm me again in the future, I can not worry about him. ”
Jia Daoshi heard this and hurriedly said: "Madame is really beautiful and kind, let me be ashamed of villains, I will never commit such evil things in the future." ”
Doctor Zhang couldn't help but kick him, and said viciously: "How many times have you promised me?" This is the last time I will take care of you, and you will live in the hospital honestly in the future, and if you dare to leave without my permission, I will not treat you again! ”
Jia Daoshi is most afraid of death now, and when he heard this, he nodded hurriedly, not only did he not refute it in half a sentence, but also laughed for a long time. Jiang Xuehe saw that he felt sorry for Gu Sibei like this, why did he find such a good person?
Gu Sixian was not surprised by what the people in the West Courtyard would do, she was more curious about the others: "How did Sister-in-law Fang recognize that the material of this purse was popular in the capital twenty years ago?" ”
"My mother once taught me to know the colors that are popular every year, and said that it might come in handy in the future, but I didn't expect it to come in handy like this." Jiang Xuehe smiled helplessly, she originally thought that many of the things her mother taught her were actually useless, but now it seems that it is really beneficial to learn more things.
"I see, my aunt is so powerful." Gu Sixian asked, "Can my sister-in-law teach me?" ”
"You're interested in those, too?"
Gu Sixian smiled: "It's always good to learn more things, my mother also taught me to recognize colors and materials, but I can't tell all the years like my sister." ”
"It's nothing, buy a related book, you can find it on it, let's go and read it later." Jiang Xuehe said with a smile.
"Thank you sister-in-law for that." Gu Sixian was very happy to hear this, thinking that it was fortunate that her sister-in-law didn't run away when she released the water, but now at first glance, although the three of them still have nothing, she feels that her life has a rush.
I don't know what's going on, anyway, looking at her new sister-in-law, she thinks that their family's life will get better and better.
Jiang Xuehe first sent Dr. Zhang back to the hospital, then bought ten days of medicine in one go, and took Gu Sixian to Jinxiufang. Jinxiufang is a shop that sells ready-to-wear cloth embroidery, which is a monopoly in Songyue County, Jiang Xuehe took Gu Sixian over, firstly, to take some odd jobs, and secondly, to buy some things for Gu Sixian.
Gu Sixian is at the age of cardamom, and she can already start to see each other at this age in the countryside, so she has to dress up first, but Qiao's deducted her badly. can be a sister-in-law, what should be added is to be added, but you can't really let yourself be the wrongdoer, so you still have to beat where you should be beaten.
"What is my sister-in-law doing here?" Gu Sixian said curiously.
"Didn't you ask me how I would make money this morning?" Jiang Xuehe smiled, "Come and see, can you make such a purse?" Can you fight such a network? ”
Gu Sixian looked at them one by one and said seriously: "This purse is a very simple style, the embroidery on it is beautiful but not difficult to embroider, only to this extent, I can make seven or eight a day." These lines are even simpler, more than 20 a day. ”
Jiang Xuehe was stunned, of course she knew that these things were not difficult, after all, they were all things of a few or a dozen yuan, but the speed at which she started these things was only half what Gu Sixian said. Looking at Gu Sixian's appearance, it doesn't look like she's talking big, could it be that this girl is really so capable?
Gu Sixian looked to the side again and said with a smile: "I can also make that kind of silk flower, my mother taught me." ”
The shopkeeper of the Splendid Workshop stood aside and heard it, and couldn't help but say, "The little girl is young, how can she talk big?" ”
Gu Sixian untied the purse on her waist and said: "I didn't say anything big, this purse was made by myself, and the strings hanging on the purse were also made by myself, as well as the silk flowers on my head, like this purse, I also cut it from old clothes." ”
This really shocked Jiang Xuehe, she originally thought that the things Gu Sixian was wearing today were good, but they were too old, and she thought that they were left for her by the Bai family, but she didn't expect that Gu Sixian made them out of old clothes.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the purse, and he quickly took it and looked through it carefully. The purse made by Gu Sixian is different from all the purses in this store, it is a long-life lock style, with a total of five strings hanging on both sides and even at the bottom, and the four on the side are simple strings, strung with a few beads for decoration. The middle one is more complicated, it is actually a butterfly braided there, and the butterfly wings are wearing a few colorful beads, and the shopkeeper has not seen how to weave it after looking at it for a long time. Underneath the five strings are slender tassels, and because the strings are also woven with thin rope, the whole looks extraordinarily elegant.
This purse is made of water-colored fragrant cloud yarn, and there are a few elegant magnolias embroidered on it, and there is a butterfly with wings ready to fly on the magnolia. Such delicate and agile embroidery is also superior in the splendid workshop, and the more the shopkeeper looks at it, the more he likes it.
"If you use new cloth and new thread, such a purse can be sold for five taels of silver in my splendid workshop." The shopkeeper didn't dare to underestimate Gu Sixian anymore, and asked again, "Can you let me see the silk flower of the girl?" ”
Gu Sixian immediately took it off and handed it to him, her double-petaled curly silk flowers were also cleverly made, if it weren't for the fact that the fabric was too old and the color was heavy, it would look like the real thing from a distance. The beads were also beautifully decorated, but they were all worthless faded beads, and the shopkeeper felt sad when he looked at them, thinking that this great craftsmanship had been ruined by these discarded materials.
"How many can such a purse girl do a day? And these silk flowers, how many can you make a day? The shopkeeper asked again.
Jiang Xuehe couldn't help but glance at Gu Sixian, but Gu Sixian was an honest person and didn't understand, so she said truthfully: "This purse takes some effort, and it will take at least five days to make one." The style of silk flowers is not complicated, and it will be fine in three days. ”
Jiang Xuehe looked at the silk flower heart and said that people are really different, this silk flower is definitely the most complicated style she has ever seen, but it is nothing in Gu Sixian's eyes. If this girl hadn't been restricted by Qiao's before, she would have developed a long time ago, right?
"Look, shopkeeper, if you use materials, how much can you give if we make such a purse or silk flower?" Jiang Xuehe asked.
"As long as there is such workmanship, they can give one or two." The shopkeeper smiled, "But there are only a few good things that can be sold in our Songyue County, so I thought it would be better for the two of you to take more tassels?" I can give you five pieces of these tassels. ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "Then let's do some, what does the third sister think?" ”
Gu Sixian nodded stunnedly, she learned all her skills from her mother, and she thought that the boudoir women would definitely know it, but she didn't think that she could use it to make money.
Jiang Xuehe saw that she looked well-behaved and dazed, so she made a return for her and took a lot of things from the shopkeeper, but she also took the initiative to leave a copy of the deed there, so as not to be regarded as a liar.
This time they went back to be much more low-key, although the shopkeeper gave them a lot of good materials, but most of them were rags, so they only moved back a few sacks. However, the people on the west side of the courtyard always pay attention to their every move, and they are all cautious over there, so they always feel that the east courtyard must have secretly hidden something good from them.
"Why did the fifth brother and sister buy so many things again? Although you have sold some of the land, you still have to make a careful living. Zhao stood at the door of the West Courtyard and said with a smile.
Jiang Xuehe simply opened a bag in front of her, revealing the broken steps and ropes in it and said: "I understand what my sister-in-law said, so after I bought medicine for Xianggong, I deliberately went to Jinxiufang for a trip, and took some work to make purse ties, thinking about how much I could earn, but I couldn't sit and eat empty." ”
"I see, seeing that my fifth brother and sister will live like this, I am relieved to be a sister-in-law." Zhao left with a concerned face, turned his head and laughed at the sister-in-law in the West Courtyard, "It's ridiculous to me, she wants to make a purse and has no money to buy cloth, right?" It's all rags, and you can see what you made like that? ”
The Zhao family and the other four concubines are actually from rural families, but they have been married into the Gu family for a long time, and they have seen more good things, so they always feel superior, and they usually raise their chins and squint at people when they go out, and because of the influence of the Qiao family and the four brothers in the east, west, south and north, this is especially true for the three brothers and sisters in the East Courtyard.
If there is an exception, it is Gu Sixi. He also looks down on the people in the East Courtyard, but he is a perverted embryo, and he thinks that he pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, so he has always been kind and pleasant to Gu Sixian. But Gu Sixian is his own sister, no matter how beastly he is, he can't do anything to his sister, but Jiang Xuehe is different, that kind of beauty has long been regarded by him as a bag.
That night, Gu Sixi secretly slipped out of the back door of Gu's house while Qian was asleep and climbed onto the wall outside the east courtyard.
