Chapter 52: Embroidery

Falling under the high wall, Yang Ling glanced at the layout of the house and went straight to the main house.

There are a lot of maids and maids who come and go in the house, but he is extremely fast, and those maids only feel a gust of wind blowing, and they don't even see the figure.

In front of the main house, I pushed the door and entered, and the rich man Zhang was counting the accounts in the house, and was startled, "You...... Who are you? What are you going to do? Then he was about to call someone, a small pebble flew out of Yang Ling's hand, sealing his dumb hole, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't spit out half a word.

Yang Ling closed the door smoothly, walked in front of him, sat down in the chair opposite him, looked at him indifferently, and said, "Your family is not my opponent at all, and it is useless for you to call them here." But you don't have to be afraid, I came to you, not malicious, just trying to make a deal with you. He popped out a wisp of finger wind and unraveled his acupoint, "You can speak." ”

Rich Zhang's face was full of fear, the masked man in front of him, his voice was very cold, like ice, his eyes were also cold, like ice, his voice trembled: "You...... What do you want to trade? ”

Yang Ling got straight to the point, "I heard that you are going to sell your land and move to Guannei." ”

Rich Zhang nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes." Are you going to buy land? ”

"I guess I'm going to buy it. Did you receive a post yesterday asking you to meet you at Tianxianglou in the town? ”

"yes, how do you know, Hero?" Rich Master Zhang hurriedly took out a letter from the desk, handed it to Yang Ling with both hands, and said tremblingly: "The post is here." ”

Yang Ling didn't answer, "Well, I know." The person who wrote the post is looking for you to buy land. When did she meet you? ”

"It's the end of the day."

Yang Ling took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, and the denomination of that silver ticket was five hundred taels. He pushed the silver ticket in front of the rich man Zhang and said, "This is five hundred taels of silver, which is considered the deposit I paid, and the rest will be paid to you by the person who wrote the post." What you have to do, one, don't tell her about me; Second, don't talk too much, if she wants to buy it, you can just sell it. ”

"Oh, good, good, good."

Rich Master Zhang was incapable of digesting this strange thing, but he didn't dare to ask more or resist, he was really afraid that if he asked more, he would bring himself a terrible death.

Yang Ling stood up and turned around to leave, but heard the rich man Zhang say again: "That, hero, don't be in a hurry to leave, there is a situation here, that ......"

"What's the situation?" Yang Ling turned his head and looked at him.

"Well, there is a man named Zhu Changsong in our village, do you know?"

"You know, what's wrong?"

"He is the pen clerk next to the county magistrate, or the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, he has always been rampant in the village, he ...... He's already interested in buying my land, and I'm afraid ......"

Yang Ling's eyes showed a trace of disdain, "Rich Master Zhang, you are the one who is leaving, are you afraid of what he will do to you?" ”

Zhang Caizhu was still very hesitant, but when he saw Yang Ling's cold eyes and covered face, he weighed it, and if he disobeyed the killing god in front of him, the person in front of him might kill him immediately, and Zhu Changsong, as long as he moved away fast enough, he would be out of reach, as for whether he would find trouble with the land buyer, it was not for him to care.

Thinking of this, a smile also appeared on his face: "I understand." Hero, don't worry. ”

Yang Ling nodded, flashed, and walked out of the room, and when the rich man chased him out again, his shadow was gone. Rich Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glad that he didn't choose the wrong path.

Yang Ling got out of the courtyard of the rich man Zhang, did not immediately go back to his house, thought about it, and ran towards the mountain across the river. To the river, he performed a light feat, flew by, and disappeared into the sparse jungle of the mountains.

Qu Xiaobai's room, when he went to Zhao Yuan's house, Yang Zhuzi's family and Yang Hongxia were already waiting there. In addition to the two of them, there were also several women in the village, who also came when they heard the wind, begging Qu Xiaobai to give them a chance so that they could also do this job, and they also exaggerated their good craftsmanship.

After Qu Xiaobai greeted everyone, he found a piece of leftover material from the cloth and said: "Ladies and sisters-in-law, let's do this, you first sew a pillowcase, I will take a look at your craftsmanship, if the craftsmanship is good, you can stay, if the craftsmanship is not good, we can't be emotional, right?" ”

Qu Xiaobai also saw that among the few people who came, a few of them used to be cold to her, and they were good at chewing the root of their tongues.

Several women each took a piece of cloth, asked for needlework in the hands of Zhao Yuan's family, and each chose a place to start work.

Qu Xiaobai handed over the drawn drawings to Zhao Yuan's family and said, "Sister-in-law Dayuan, can you understand the style and size on this drawing paper?" ”

Zhao Yuanjia took a closer look at the drawings and exclaimed: "Obediently, who is it for?" I can understand this picture, but this size is ...... Little white girl, I'm sorry, I can't read. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know it, it's just numbers, it's simple, I'll teach you as soon as I teach you."

Qu Xiaobai simply taught the understanding of size a few times, and Zhao Yuanjia quickly learned it, Qu Xiaobai smiled: "Look, it's not difficult, right?" Then sister-in-law, you will be in charge of tailoring first. ”

Qu Xiaobai selected some colors from the cloth and told Zhao Yuanjia which style to use which cloth, and after finishing speaking, Zhao Yuanjia began to cut the fabric.

Qu Xiaobai picked out some more fabrics and piled them on the kang, "Sister-in-law Dayuan, these colors can also be cut." She paused for a moment and said, "By the way, are any of you who know how to embroider?" ”

"Embroidery, it's good to count Hongxia." Zhao Yuanjia recommended.

"Hongxia, then you don't want to sew clothes today, I have other tasks for you today."

Yang Hongxia was a little confused: "Huh? Do what? ”

Qu Xiaobai said with a smile: "I'll tell you later." She looked at Zhao Yuan's family, "Sister-in-law Dayuan, I'll leave it to you here, after a while, those aunts and sisters-in-law will finish sewing, you can see who is good at work, and I will take Hongxia to do something else." Oh, by the way, go back and let Brother Da Yuan go to Tianxianglou in the town and help me do something, he knows what it is. ”

"Oh, okay, got it, you go get busy, I'll tell him in a moment."

"Auntie, I'll trouble you and Dayuan's sister-in-law here." Qu Xiaobai gave a detailed and thoughtful order, and then pulled Yang Hongxia out of the door.

"Little white sister-in-law, where are we going?" Yang Hongxia took Qu Xiaobai's hand and asked with a smile.

"Go to my house, I have a new assignment for you."

"What's the new mission?"

"Now I tell you that you don't understand, I'll tell you when you come to my house, and you'll know."

"Oh."

Qu Xiaobai walked very fast, Yang Hongxia almost trotted to keep up, and when she arrived at Qu Xiaobai's dwelling, the door was locked, obviously, Yang Ling was not there, Qu Xiaobai didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Yang Hongxia asked, "What's the matter, Brother Yang Ling is not here?" ”

"Go catch fish in the river, I'm afraid he'll follow me to make trouble." Qu Xiaobai lied very casually.

"Actually, Brother Yang Ling is a little more honest, and he's not too stupid. He won't give us any trouble. ”

"Hmm. I know. Qu Xiaobai didn't want to say more on the topic of Yang Ling, so he opened the door, "Come, come in." ”

After entering the house, Qu Xiaobai found two zhang of silk cloth that had not been dyed, and carefully laid it on the kang, Yang Hongxia's eyes lit up when she saw it, "Wow, is this fabric silk?" It's nice to watch. ”

"It's silk. Now, I'm going to teach you a new embroidery method called lace embroidery. But before I teach you, Hongxia, I'm going to talk to you about three chapters of the Fa, and we have to write a note first. ”

"Huh? Written notes? Yang Hongxia was a little confused, she was a little girl in the countryside, she had never seen much of the world, in her eyes, writing a note, it was similar to going to the official yamen.

Qu Xiaobai smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not making any unequal treaties." It is like this, this lace embroidery, I created it, I can teach you, but you can only work for me. If you don't want to work for me for a special reason, that's fine, but you can't embroider for someone else, and you can't teach it to anyone other than you. If there is a violation, you will have to compensate me for the high cost of damages. ”

Yang Hongxia was not only deeply attracted by this lace embroidery, but also a little frightened by Qu Xiaobai's words, and said timidly: "I, I don't tell anyone." ”

"That's fine. I have written a contract yesterday, I will read it to you, and if you agree, then we will sign it and put your fingerprint on it. ”

"I ...... Do I need to discuss it with my parents? Yang Hongxia was still a little worried.

Qu Xiaobai smiled silently and said, "It's okay, I still have some important things, I need to go to town, you go home and discuss with your parents first, and when I come back, you still come to me to find me." ”

It's understandable for girls to be timid, Qu Xiaobai didn't blame Yang Hongxia for anything, but through this incident, she has seen the child's vision and future.

She put up the fabric and put it on the kang casually, still pulling Yang Hongxia's hand, "Let's go." ”

Yang Hongxia's face flushed, and she hesitated: "Otherwise, I'...... I'd better sign it now. ”

Qu Xiaobai disagreed, "I also thought about it, you should really ask your parents' opinions." I have something very important to do, so let's go. ”

She couldn't help but say, pulled her out of the door, locked the door, and still went back to Zhao Yuan's house.

Zhao Yuan had already put on new clothes and was waiting for her, she entered the door to see, Zhao Yuan's family left a few more women, all of them were sewing clothes in a nervous and orderly manner, seeing her come in, they all got up to salute her, she nodded slightly, it was a return gift, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

After saying this, he went out with Zhao Yuan.

While walking, Qu Xiaobai asked: "Brother Da Yuan, apart from Brother Erhe, there is an oxcart or a carriage in the village, who has an oxcart or a carriage?" Let's rent a car and hurry up. ”

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's really just his family's ox cart that can be used." Yang Dapeng's ox cart must be difficult to borrow. Not to mention the Lizheng family. ”

That's hard.
