Chapter 2O7: Learning and Art (1)
Zhao Sanjiao's words touched Ding Shujiao.
She pondered for a moment, and seemed to hesitate all the time, and finally, she paused in her throat, "I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”
"What?"
"I begged my eldest brother for one thing, I don't know if I can agree?"
"Where, you are lifting me up, what else can I do for you? Just say it. Zhao Sanjian replied a little surprised.
"You must promise me first, and I will say it!"
Zhao Sanjian was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
"Well, so be it! I can do it, I try my best! ”
"I want to learn a craft, and I know you definitely don't want to, no one wants to show your own housekeeping skills. I know, but I'm desperate." Ding Shujiao said, a little unable to speak, her voice was a little choked.
"I can't stay in that house anymore, I'm desperate! Eldest brother! Please!"
Zhao San was speechless.
"I've been here with you many times, you're a nice person, you're skilled, and you're very kind, I've always treated you as a big brother, I never thought that this time I was saved by you when I was in the most trouble! You are a good person to the end, give me another way to live! ”
After speaking, Zhao Sanjian clearly felt that her gaze at him was full of anticipation.
"The second young grandmother is polite!" Zhao Sanjian whispered.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Ding Shujiao's eyes, and when the words came to her mouth, she paused slightly, seemed to pluck up her courage again, and said: "Don't hide it, my man is dead, I can't live in my husband's house, and I have been hesitating by the river!" Actually, I don't want to go down this dead end either! But what can I do? Big brother, don't laugh at me, I want to die, and I'm unwilling! I slipped into the river! Just when I was changing clothes, it occurred to me that if I could make a living of my own, I would have a way to live! I still have some silver taels, can you help me, can I learn to do the work with you? In the future, I will open a tailor shop myself, far away from you, it will not affect your business, do you think it will be okay?"
Ding Shujiao took out some silver taels from her pocket and held them in front of Zhao Sanjian's eyes, with tears in the corners of her eyes.
"This..."
Zhao Sanjian looked a little embarrassed.
"Are you too little silver?"
"It's not, it's not!"
"Are you afraid of the craft being passed on?"
"Where, I can't talk about the skill, just a mouthful."
"That's? Are you afraid of gossip?"
Ding Shujiao frowned, and whispered: "I know, there are many things in front of the widow's door!" ”
Zhao Sanjian stood up and said, "It's okay to teach you some skills, I'm just worried that outsiders will gossip, will your husband's family come to the door?"
Ding Shujiao sighed and said, "What can you do if you come to the door?" That mother-in-law hates me, Meng Jiagui's death was not done by me, but she wants to blame me, scold when she sees it, and want me to serve her for the rest of her life? I haven't served her until I'm old, I'm afraid she's going to die. Am I going to have to be angry with her forever? What years have it been! “
After listening to Ding Shujiao's words, Zhao Sanjian didn't say anything more.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the store, and Zhao Sanjian said, "There are still people coming at such a night!" Wait a minute. After saying that, he hurriedly went to the front store to greet business.
With a bowl of hot water, Ding Shujiao felt much better, and she also had strength in her body.
The wet clothes on the wooden stool were not yet fully dry, Ding Shujiao squatted by the fire, rubbing her hands, the coolness on her body gradually faded, she looked around at the small hut, thinking about what Zhao Sanjiao had just said.
The wind blew a crack in the door, which was not big, but it allowed Ding Shujiao to see the situation in the store.
Ding Shujiao can see the delicate side of the visitor, which is a little familiar. And now, she's holding a silk in one hand, a magazine in the other, spreading it out, putting it on the table, pointing to a picture on it.
"You see, I want this style of cheongsam, the front chest here, to embroider pink plum blossoms with silk threads, on both sides, at the neckline, to have wavy lace, choose black silk thread!"
She could also see Zhao Sanjian, and saw Zhao Sanjian wearing glasses and sticking his head to look at the photo in the magazine carefully. After looking at it for a moment, his gaze swept over the lens, and the woman looked familiar.
There weren't too many polite words, Zhao Sanjian pointed directly
picture, said to her: "This match is not good, this grass yellow and green, with this pink, cheesy, if it is ink, it is okay, it is better to change to white plum, more elegant!"
Driven by curiosity, Ding Shujiao simply walked over, sat on the stool by the window from a distance, and looked at this side silently. She had already recognized this woman, the woman in green who quarreled with her in Zhao Sanjian's tailor shop last time because of leather!
How?
Did she go to Zhao Sanjian's shop to make clothes again?
Seeing a woman in a coarse cloth suddenly appear in the store, the smile on the woman's face stopped abruptly.
"Yo, why are you again!" The woman also saw Ding Shujiao and recognized her at once.
The scene is a little awkward!
The woman settled down, broke the silence first, and said in a thin voice: "I was offended a lot last time, the matter of the skin was a misunderstanding, and one of my sisters took it and used it, and I have already paid for it."
Although her words seem polite, she still has a high-spirited posture in her bones.
"Oh! I also think it might be a misunderstanding! Ding Shujiao said.
"That's right! Right! It's a misunderstanding! Zhao Sanjian smiled and said, "Now the misunderstanding is gone!" ”
The woman also smiled slightly, and straightened her back, her eyes swept over the back room that Ding Shujiao came out of, and seemed to strengthen her suspicions.
Ding Shujiao naturally didn't forget the piercing word "concubine" she gave herself last time!
The corners of her mouth lifted up proudly.
"Hmmm! You don't know each other! Why, you're running over to make clothes so late? ”
Ding Shujiao said: "Yes! Isn't everyone the same? Miss came here so late! I guess I was too busy to work during the day and didn't have time, so I had to come over at night! Fortunately, Zhao Cutter closed the door late! It's also convenient for everyone! ”
It turned out that this woman was the woman Ding Shujiao had seen last time, this time, she was wearing a red cloth blouse, which was a silk cheongsam with white and blue flowers, which was much brighter than the last outfit, and she also had a big wavy hair, no wonder Ding Shujiao almost didn't recognize her.
Who is this man?
Xue Shanghua!
Why is Xue Shanghua here again?
Making clothes?
Making clothes is one thing, and on the other hand, I came to find Zhao Xiaoshuang!
She was his savior, she thought it was just the end of it, but she didn't expect that she found out that she was in love with this Zhao Xiaoshuang and fell in love with this man out of control.
It's a hassle to fall in love with a man, she silently watches everything about him, thinks about him every minute, wants to see him, wants to know what he's doing! Even when he jokes with other women, she gets jealous.
And Zhao Xiaoshuang is a person with a wide range of interests, a woman, he does not refuse to come! At least that's how she sees it! He was surprisingly handsome, and butterflies were often flying around him, which made her feel really uncomfortable.
She defined him: the heart is too heavy!
She hated him for that!
But he can't do without him, even if he can't see him for a day, it's like a gap in three autumns.
And he was so close to her, she knew that he didn't love her so much, but she was reluctant to leave this person.
Affectionate only has the spring court month, which is still a flower falling from people.
They had also laughed together, frolicked together, and were nostalgic, he should know that his existence was her dream, his figure had been deeply engraved into her life, and she always felt that one day, he would fall in love with herself! It's as if she's in love with him, and she's fascinated!
Finally, she couldn't find him.
She knew that he left Zhang Xiangui and went to run a business with others.
Without this person, her heart suddenly became empty, and the whole person was like a walking corpse.
She suspected that he was deliberately avoiding himself!
After many searches, Xue Shanghua finally knew that he had returned to Zhao Sanjian's tailor's shop, so she walked into Zhao Sanjian's shop with dignity under the pretext of making clothes.
Heaven arranged it so ingeniously, she happened to meet Ding Shujiao who fell into the water and was rescued by Zhao Xiaoshuang here.
Now that they have apologized, what else is there to say!
"That day, I was also angry..."Ding Shujiao stroked the broken hair stuck to her forehead, and said by the donkey under the slope.
"If you don't fight, you don't know each other! How? You're also here to make clothes? Or...?"
glanced at Zhao Sanjian, who was silent on the side, Xue
Shanghua's tone of voice was still full of the suspicion of last time.
"My little shop closes late! Customers often come late! No way! Small business! Tired of life! Xue Shanghua's words made Zhao Sanjian a little embarrassed, fortunately the light was not too bright, otherwise everyone would be able to see the picture of his two ears burning red.
"Why can't I come here? This tailor's shop isn't just for some people, is it?"
A trace of anger blocked her throat, Ding Shujiao's flushed face subconsciously focused her eyes on Zhao Sanjiao's body, and her words were full of gunpowder, thinking in her heart, Hmph! What am I here for? You can handle it!
"That's, that's!"
Xue Shanghua heard a thing or two from Ding Shujiao's tone, and continued: "Oh! Master Zhao's business is very busy! Busy! Business is booming! It's just that after working hard Master Zhao, it would be nice if there was one more manpower! I don't know, is Zhao Xiaoshuang back? ”
At the mention of Zhao Xiaoshuang, she lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes seemed to be dying butterflies.
"Little Shuang?"
Zhao Sanjian was stunned for a moment, and did not answer directly, but said, "The girl has something to do with him?" ”
Xue Shanghua hesitated for a moment, his gaze dodging.
"Oh! It's okay! All right! I'm just casually asking. I know him and know that he works here at Zhao Tailor, and his skills are naturally good! With his help, Tailor Zhao will definitely be very worry-free! Well, I haven't seen him for many days, and I want to know him..."
"Well, as soon as Xiaoshuang comes back, I'll let him go to you!"
Zhao Sanjian seemed to sense something from her words, he stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and shot his gaze from the space above the frame of his glasses.
Xue Shanghua felt a little embarrassed, she couldn't tell what kind of idea she had in mind, in fact, she also knew that even if she saw Zhao Xiaoshuang, what could she do? He may still be as close to her as he was before.
Falling in love with someone is really a headache!
Xue Shanghua bit her lip.
Coming here, maybe just to see him again in the name of making clothes, give yourself a reason, and convince that messy heart! Perhaps, that day, she should have accepted the red dress, and the two of them went their separate ways from then on.
"That's good! Then I won't bother much! You still have guests here, I'll leave first, I'm in a hurry to use the clothes, please Zhao Zaijiang get out of the job as soon as possible!"
Xue Shanghua said to Zhao Sanjiao, looked at Ding Shujiao again, and nodded, it can be regarded as a farewell!
She didn't know why she left in such a hurry, as if her arrival was a little redundant, and this feeling suddenly made her feel the urge to leave quickly!
"Okay, okay!"
Zhao Sanjian laughed with him and followed.
The wet clothes by the fireside were almost baked, Ding Shujiao changed back into her clothes in the back room, she pulled the corners of her clothes, and when she walked out of the back room, she happened to see Zhao Xiaoshuang returning from sending clothes.
"Is Grandma Younger?" Xiaoshuang asked.
"Much better!"
Ding Shujiao poured water and drank it alone, and neither of them seemed to know what to say, so they began a long silence until Zhao San cut into the room.
"Are you satisfied with the clothes?" Zhao Sanjian took off his hat.
"Then you don't need to ask! Daddy's craftsmanship is resounding! Who would be dissatisfied! ”
Zhao Xiaoshuang said in a mocking tone, walked over, took the hat and hung it on the hanger.
"It's good to be satisfied! I'm afraid I'm not satisfied! Oh, by the way, Xue Shanghua came just now! Zhao Sanjian said.
"Oh! What did she come to do? ”
Zhao Xiaoshuang raised his head and looked at Zhao Sanjian in disbelief.
"What else can be done! Of course, it's time to make clothes! I also asked about you! ”
"Ask me? Ask me what? ”
"Ask if you're back!"
"What do you say?"
"What more can I say! If I say you're back! I'm afraid she'll come to you! This woman! By the way, she, how did she come to you? She's a.."
"Dad, don't say it! She saved my life! It is gracious to me! ”
"What's going on?"
"I'll tell you later!"
Zhao Xiaoshuang gave Zhao San a look.
Ding Shujiao went into the back room to boil water, thinking that she might hear it, Zhao Sanjiao didn't ask any more, with Ding Shujiao there, Zhao Xiaoshuang was inconvenient to talk more, took a break for a while, and continued to help Zhao Sanjiao send the work.
