Chen's mother sighed, and suddenly saw the second daughter pick up the needle and thread, ready to embroider under the moon.

She shook her head again and again, gesturing to put away the needle and thread.

"Second girl, you can't embroider at night and hurt your eyes."

"Mother, let me embroider again."

"Have a good rest at night, and it's never too late to embroider when tomorrow dawns."

Mother Chen was distressed and rubbed the broken hair of the second girl, the second girl has been well-behaved since she was a child, gentle and introverted, not like the eldest girl, who is outgoing and active.

Tong also smiled: "The second girl listens to your mother, but you can't hurt your eyes, otherwise how can you embroider in the future?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan was puzzled when she listened: "What's so good about embroidery, is it possible to embroider for a lifetime?" ”

After hearing this, Tong covered his mouth and smiled.

The eldest girl didn't like to take a needle since she was a child, and remembering her eldest granddaughter's lame stitching, Tong couldn't help laughing: "Why can't you embroider for a lifetime, Qingqing will be able to eat a bite of food with this in the future." ”

Tong was quite happy when he said, Chen's mother's eyes lit up, as if she thought of something, and said: "Mother, but you got a job in the embroidery workshop?" ”

Tong nodded and said happily: "The owner of this Caiyi Shop has left us some casual work, although it is not much, but it will also be busy for a month." When the work is done, you can also save five taels of silver. ”

After hearing this, Chen's mother was pleasantly surprised.

"Five taels of silver? His father and I only have two taels of silver a month, which is a great joy! Thanks to her mother and Qingqing to learn some crafts, the second girl will be able to save some dowry money in the future and marry a good family. ”

The little girl Chen Qingqing shook her head again and again: "Mother, Qingqing plans to learn more crafts, if she can enter Tianyi Pavilion as an embroidery girl in the future, and supplement the family, the family can be easier." ”

Hearing this, Chen's mother had a sour nose and couldn't stop praising it: "Good girl, good girl." ”

Only Chen Yuanyuan looked confused, what kind of place is Tianyi Pavilion?

She had to say tactfully: "Mother, is it difficult to enter Tianyi Pavilion as an embroiderer?" ”

"Naturally, it's hard!"

"Tianyi Pavilion is an embroidery workshop, the Huangfu family is a royal merchant family, the business is all over the place, the clothes of the cabinet are for the royal family, and the embroidery girl has no ability. Even if it is the most ordinary embroidery girl in the outer pavilion, the monthly money is ten taels of silver. ”

When she said that, Chen's mother was already excited.

If the second girl can enter the Tianyi Pavilion as an embroiderer, it is a great blessing!

Chen Yuanyuan is also happy for her sister, her grandmother is an old man with her eleven-year-old sister, and it is good to be able to take on a high-paying casual job. It's a pity that casual work is not common, but it is not easy for an old and a young person to earn five taels of silver a month!

According to her understanding of this era, a penny is equivalent to a dollar, a tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand, and a gold is equivalent to 10,000 yuan.

Her father's and mother's monthly wages add up to only two taels of silver, that is, two thousand yuan.

According to the Chen family's living expenses for nearly half a month, they can save fifteen or sixteen taels a year, which is equivalent to more than 10,000 yuan.

Although Chen's father and Chen's mother saved some silver, but the relatives in the family were seriously ill, and it is said that a few years ago, they built a coffin for their deceased grandfather, and spent a lot of silver taels. Men and women are seven years old at different seats, and last year they saved money for Chen Yunsheng to build a small cubicle in the stove room.

The only remaining silver taels were about to give Chen Yunsheng as money, and he didn't want to be injured and unconscious, so he saw that the doctor spent a lot of silver.

As a result, all the money he had saved over the past few years had been spent.

As for the embroidery lady of Tianyi Pavilion, the monthly money of ten taels is more than 10,000 per month.

Chen Yuanyuan shrugged her shoulders, in modern times, it is not as much as her pocket money for a day......

Chen's mother was still sighing on the side, with relief on her face: "It's not easy to find a livelihood these days, it's good to have some craftsmanship, you embroider well, but remember not to hurt your eyes at night." ”

The second girl has the craft to make a living, which can be regarded as a rare happy event recently.

While she was happy, she couldn't help but worry about the big girl.

If Master Liu comes again, what if the Chen family has no power and no power?

Chen's mother was full of sorrow, and now Yuanyuan is not young, so she simply found a good husband and children for her, and put an end to Master Liu's thoughts.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't know what Chen's mother was thinking, and was talking to her sister with great interest - the story of the embroidery needle stumped the seven-foot erlang.

Chen Yuanyuan's kung fu was not bad, which made everyone laugh again and again.

After a while, Chen's father and Chen Yunsheng also came back with water.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the Chen family was over for a day, and they went to bed.
