Jiang said with a smile: "Jinzhou is located in a remote area, the scenery is really beautiful, but it is too far from Shangjing, this road is not good, but our ancestral family is in the land of rivers, and we can go north with all our strength when we go out by boat, all the way to the mouth of the canal, so it is not hard." ”

"I heard that there is a kind of embroidery technique in Shudi, my daughter-in-law has been specializing in techniques for a long time, and I was fortunate to see the embroidery method in Shu last time, and I have been yearning for it since then......" The old lady looked at Jiang and Li Qing eagerly, hoping to get the answer she wanted.

Jiang was about to speak, but he heard Li Qing take the first step, so he stopped thinking.

"Shudi embroidery skills have always been taught by apprentices, but it's a pity that my qualifications are dull, so ...... Hehe," Li Qing looked at Jiang and said.

At this time, the maid of the eldest lady brought a handkerchief, which was embroidered with plum blossoms and poems. The eldest lady showed it in front of Li Qing, and said to her with a smile: "This is Su embroidery, my mother's family is from Suzhou and knows Suzhou embroidery, so I have been a female worker taught by my mother since I was a child, although the embroidery skills are not as good as my mother, but it is far beyond ordinary people, the last time I saw a dress in Sheng Jinghong, I think it is very exquisite, so I asked to know that it was made by Shu embroidery, so I was very interested." ”

Sheng Jinghong?

Isn't that your own store?

Li Qing almost laughed, she only knew that her family had a business shop in Shangjing, and when she first arrived in Beijing, she didn't have time to count the business in Shangjing, but she didn't expect to meet it in a row.

Should I say that my wealth is widespread? Or is it fate?

After Li Qing looked at the veil, Mrs. Mei presented it to Jiang again.

Jiang took the embroidered handkerchief, at first glance, the safflower bones on the handkerchief can already be fake, and he couldn't help but admire: "The embroidery skills of the eldest lady are not inferior to the best embroidery girls in the show." Then, Jiang Shi laughed and said: "My daughter-in-law is only familiar with literati calligraphy and cooking, and she doesn't dare to compliment female workers, so she can't see why, don't mind, eldest lady." ”

The eldest lady pursed her lips and smiled, and teased: "It turns out that Qing Niang doesn't know how to embroider, no wonder she will say that her qualifications are dull, but it's good that we women can embroider some flowers, I don't know if Qing Niang can tailor." ”

"I know how to tailor, but the things I sew are as ugly as if they leaked out of the wind, so my mother usually sews them." The more Li Qing spoke, the more embarrassed he felt, especially when he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. I didn't expect to chat with ancient women, and they exchanged these things.

After so many years in ancient times, it was the first time she had chatted with a woman in the back house. She was full of enthusiasm, but what she got was a scoop of cold water. For any female worker, her hands-on ability is extremely poor, so she hasn't learned it for a few months, so it's better to do something else.

Li Qing thought that she also had 120,000 points of confidence in embroidery skills back then, but in the end she lost to her hands-on ability.

She just couldn't resist.

"Hehehe, you can come to me when you make clothes in the future, I'm a woman, I don't have much to do on weekdays, so I like to serve these." The eldest lady eagerly invited Li Qing. In her opinion, Li Qing's demeanor doesn't look like a poor person, these should be done by special embroiderers on weekdays.

She would never have imagined that Li Qing had come from the village step by step to his current position.

"Okay." Li Qing agreed.

Jiang couldn't help but glance at the eldest lady a few more times. This big lady is really strange, on the one hand, she is enthusiastic and makes people feel very good, but such enthusiasm is pretended, and on the other hand, she wants to help them.

Fortunately, his daughter-in-law stopped her heart in time to show off her skills.

Once she is exposed, then she will be in trouble in the future, and the big lady will know at a glance that she is not a person who is easy to get rid of.

When the eldest lady heard this, she felt that Li Qing was so well-behaved, she must be a very good person, and she would be able to get some help when she participated in some banquets in the future.

"Oh, you hurry up and take down your unworthy things, it's just a small achievement, where can you take it out and be embarrassed?" The old lady put on an impatient look and said to the eldest lady.

The maid on the side covered her mouth and smiled secretly, and the eldest lady glanced at her, put away the square handkerchief, and handed it to the maid, so that she could take it back, giving people a baby's terrible appearance.

"Look, I'll just say that you are not good at learning and love to show off, and please don't look at jokes, our family is this temperament."

"Hahaha, what did the old lady say? Compared to the eldest lady, I don't know anything, if I take the old lady, I have to be ashamed. Li Qing saw that the form was wrong, so he hurriedly played a round.

"That's right, Qing Niang can't do it better than me, I can still embroider and embroider, although you don't like to see it, old lady, but I like it." The eldest lady retorted. "Did you say? Qing Niang. ”

Li Qing nodded blankly, there are so many scenes of this big lady, the whole play is fine, and she is still arrogant. Li Qing's goosebumps came out. As everyone knows, she was also coquettish back then, but now she is a few years older, and she can't pull this face. Li Qing looked at the sky and felt that it was not too early, so he gave Jiang a secret look, and Jiang understood, so the two got up and said goodbye to the two ladies.

"It's not early, I've been bothering with A-Niang for a long time, it's time to go back now." Li Qing saluted the old lady and prepared to leave.

In the afternoon, they have to visit Huafu.

"Why don't you stay? It's not too late to leave after lunch, today the master and Jiang Xiaogongzi are dancing swords in the yard, having a hearty time, your house is opposite our house, I know that it must be a cold pot and a cold stove when I go back, it is better to stay, let's have a hot meal. The eldest lady hurriedly stopped the two.

How can a guest come to the door without offering a gift of food?

If he let his neighbor go hungry, how will he face the words and eyes of everyone?

"Thank you for the kindness of the two ladies, but because my son has only this day to spare, and he needs to visit another neighbor in the afternoon, he can only live up to such a good thing."

Li Qing pleaded again and again, but there was no way for the mansion to release him. It's the right door, but the two are slightly staggered, roughly opposite, and you can get home by walking a little.

Although it is a little uncomfortable to do this, Li Qing is not a very accommodating person.

There is only one day in the clouds, and one day is one day.

Back at his mansion, the servant had already prepared a hot meal.

The family ate in a hurry, removed the dishes and chopsticks, and chatted.

"How?" Li Qing said to Yun and Dao.

"Lord Mei is interested in martial arts, so I asked me to play sword together after the exam." Yun Ji grabbed a handful of dried fruits, held them in his hands and ate them.

Jiang said: "Ah Qing, maybe we just came, and it's too unfamiliar, so I think it's weird." ”

Li Qing smiled: "What my mother said is right. ”
