Chapter 20 Sell some more emeralds

"Why did she say we can't?" Yueying was sullen on the road: "My mother said that my hands are as big as a fan, which is a good material for work, why doesn't she look down on it!" "It's really visionless.

Diancui sighed, and said that this embroidery is not better than doing anything else, it is a delicate job, and people probably want the kind of palm petite fingers that are slender and soft. As she spoke, she looked at her own hands, although they were also petite fingers in the palms, but they had been doing rough work all year round, and the calluses were layer after layer, silk was a delicate thing, and it was inevitable that it would be scratched and broken in her hands. People can't find fault with them.

The two of them hung their necks and went home, but they saw that there was a guest at home, and it turned out that it was the steward of Rich Liu's house last time who came to eat tea again. Last time, Qian Laosi's family found an excuse to return to him because he still had to use Diancui to make grass and flowers, and then he found a family in the neighboring village, and the poor girl was carried into Liu's house instead of Diancui.

"You also know that it is rumored outside, where does our master Liu have such a disdainful habit, the first few are just a little heavier, this one is indeed her own life, and when she enters the mansion, she cries and cries and frightens herself...... "The steward's teaspoon stirred and stirred, frowning, he was scolded by Rich Liu for this matter, and he didn't send him out to find a new aunt."

Qian Laosi's family nodded vigorously and said yes, Dao really can't blame Master Liu, the first few aunts had a beautiful life of eating and drinking spicy food, and the next few who died blamed them for being cheap, cheap!

"That, your little cui...... Can you get better? The steward's eyes purred.

Well, that's good, but ...... Qian Laosi's family saved his own thoughts, and it was not impossible to sell it to Rich Liu, but now it is better to go to the old Qiantou's house to learn embroidery, and earn two more years of silver before selling.

"Mother, we're back, it's not ......" At this time, Diancui and Yueying broke into the house, not knowing that someone else was inside.

As soon as the steward saw Diancui, he saw that her legs and feet were already good, although her palm-sized face was yellow and thin, and her watery eyes could see that she would be a beauty in the future, but this posture and spirit were not as timid as they were seen a month ago.

Seeing that he was the steward of Rich Liu's family, Dian Cui immediately chuckled in his heart, and swallowed it raw before he could make it.

"What's going on? Can you try it? Qian Laosi's family hurriedly asked.

Yueying secretly glanced at Diancui, took a small step back, and was silent, Diancui swallowed and said, "The embroidery workshop of the old Qiantou's family...... It didn't work out, but mother, you let me go to Silversmith Li's house to try it again, and next time I tell them that I will make grass and flowers......"

"Five taels of silver." The steward suddenly spoke, and the Qian Laosi family was stunned, and they were happy again. The steward looked at Dian Cui with a smile and said, "What else are you going to Li Silversmith's house, Xiao Cui, you just wait to enjoy Qingfu." ”

"Tomorrow, I will invite Master Liu to come and take a look, as long as it matches, the five taels of silver will be fine." Saying that, the steward put the teacup on the kang table, carefully wiped his small teaspoon with a sweat towel, and received it again, then arched his hand and strode away.

Qian Laosi's family happily sent him out.

came back and smiled at Dian Cui and said, "Cui, go, try the new clothes in your room to see if it fits." Seeing Dian Cui standing motionless on the spot with a white face, he spoke again: "Yueying, you go to the room with your sister, tomorrow Master Liu comes, don't go out, I will break your leg if something goes wrong." ”

This is what Yueying said, but in fact, it was said to Diancui.

Yueying responded and accompanied Diancui back to the room.
