Chapter 183: Settle for the status quo
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
The heavy rain fell to the ground, and the sound of smashing was a little inaudible.
The rain on Awen's body dripped down the hem of his trousers, and he didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Qiaoer thought he didn't hear it, and pursed his lips, "Brother Awen, little fish girl......"
After a while, Arwen whispered, "Qiao'er, she's not your enemy......"
Zhang Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned white when she reacted, her lips trembled and her eyes turned red, "Brother Awen, do you think I deliberately wanted to harm her......"
She was scheming, but she was just worried, and she didn't want to hurt anyone.
She thought that the clothes would be sent over, and they wouldn't change them anytime soon.
โโฆโฆ No. Arwen frowned, "I haven't recovered my memory for a day, I can't confirm my own identity, I won't marry anyone......"
If he is a dangerous person, he is hunted down and killed, and he is in danger and destined to drift.
Once his identity is revealed, he will cause trouble to the people around him whether he wants to or not.
Zhang Qiaoer pursed her lips, and the blood on her face still did not return.
She is not confident.
That woman was so good-looking, she couldn't take her eyes off a woman, let alone a man.
After a while, Zhang Qiao'er asked, "Brother Awen, if one day you think about ......?"
"Ahh Suddenly, there was a shrill cry in the room, and the chains were thrown to a creak.
Ah Wen's face changed, and he pushed the door directly in, "What's wrong!" โ
Ziyu grabbed the placket and buttoned up, staring nervously at the wall on the side, as if facing a great enemy.
On the wall, there was a huge eight-clawed spider lying on its stomach, with legs as long as the little thumb of a subfish.
There are no spiders that big in Yijun, there are no spiders that big in the palace, and there are no spiders that big on the streets.
Ziyu was startled, and Arwen frowned as he looked at the spider.
Zhang Qiao'er looked at Awen's expression, and her eyes were a little relaxed, it is impossible for such a delicate woman to adapt here.
"Don't be afraid, little fish girl, this is summer, although there is the sea in front of you, but there are mountains and forests not far behind this house, and there are often such insects coming out, little fish girl, your clothes are ......"
Ziyu came back to his senses, and then he hurriedly buttoned up his clothes and stared at his wet hair.
And Arwen had already beaten the spider down with a broom, and the dead spider curled up in a ball and was swept away.
"I ...... I've just never seen a spider this big......" Ziyu had palpitations, "I think things with so many feet look quite penetrating." โ
"The girl looks very delicate, and she must be timid......" Zhang Qiao'er glanced at Arwen and laughed softly.
Ziyu pursed her lips, she is really not small, but everyone will always have a little weakness, she is afraid of thunder.
But such a big spider is an accident.
On top of that, she was getting dressed, and when she turned her head, she saw the spider on the wall next to her, so she screamed.
patted his chest, probably because he was too old to be frightened.
"Okay?"
Ah Wen poured Ziyu's bath water and looked up at Ziyu, her hair was still wet, Zhang Qiaoer's clothes were a little big on her, her belt was wrapped several times, and her chest was a little bulging, she looked strange and didn't think much about it.
The two of them are about the same height, but they are far from each other.
"Alright." Ziyu nodded, picked himself up and changed into his clothes.
The clothes were cut in tatters by scissors, so that they could be removed from the locks, and the outside was definitely not worn.
However, there are underwear and underwear inside, Zhang Qiaoer also gave two new underwear and belly pockets, the underwear is worn but washed, the belly pocket is a little ill-fitting, and she still wants to wear her own clothes.
"It's over." Ah Wen spoke, Ziyu followed behind Ah Wen, not far from the two rooms, Ah Wen covered it with a coat, bowed his head to Zhang Qiaoer, and ran back to his house with Ziyu.
"Ah ......" Zhang Qiaoer wanted to stop Ah Wen, the clothes on his body were still wet, don't you wash them?
But the two had already run away, Zhang Qiaoer turned her head, and just saw two pieces of jewelry removed from the head of the fish on the stove, only two, but they were very exquisite, which Zhang Qiaoer had never seen.
Although Jimo Village is poor, Zhang Qiaoer is poor and has backbone.
He pursed his lips, took two pieces of jewelry and put them into a basket full of small shells, and chased after him with an umbrella in his arms.
Ziyu stood outside the fish house and wrung the water in his hair, waiting for him like Ah Wen was waiting for her just now.
"Little Fish Girl, your hairpin ......"
"Ah...... Thank you, I almost forgot ......" Ziyu took the hairpin and looked at the clothes in the palm of his hand.
Jimo Village is very poor, but very united and kind, in order to save Awen's life, everyone has pooled money, she is now an insignificant stranger to him, she can't eat and drink them with a dead face.
The guards didn't think they would come looking for her for a while, and she wouldn't need the jewelry and clothing, but she could use them.
Ziyu looked at the weather, and the next time she went to town, she took the things as treats.
"Little Fish Girl, now the rain is windy, we can't go to sea, but the family doesn't have much money, before Brother Awen sold some fish and saved, all of them have to be returned to each family, and now Little Fish Girl has come to the house and added a pair of chopsticks, and the family may be a little insufficient, so I think Little Fish Girl can use this shell with me to make some jewelry and sell them in the market." Zhang Qiao'er smiled harmlessly, and what she said was not wrong.
But Ziyu didn't understand, she was beating around the bush and saying that she ate white food.
The shells of uniform size are all white, and they are all specially selected by Zhang Qiaoer to be washed and dried when the sun is high.
Ziyu watched Zhang Qiaoer coarsely stick a few with gum, and had the prototype of a fish.
It's fun, I thought of something, and I began to learn from Zhang Qiao'er's appearance, while saying, "Jimo is close to the sea, and the nearby towns and villages are not too fresh about shells, and this thing is just a decoration, and the people of Guanshan Town have to use every penny on the blade, but I'm afraid that not many people will buy ......it."
Ziyu's words were true, and Zhang Qiaoer couldn't help but pause.
"And this kind of ornament is better than exquisite, this gum glue is actually not strong, to stick the shell tightly and not to fall, you need a lot of gum, it will become rough, things are rough, waste energy The price is not high, and it can only be bought occasionally by adults to give to children to play......"
Ziyu's fluttering words made Zhang Qiaoer's face paler and paler, "I didn't expect that a lady like Miss Xiaoyu could understand so much......"
"I see a lot of ......" is a typical never eaten pork and seen a pig run, when she was a child, she followed the third brother to play in the craftsman's room, many things are difficult to get started by herself, but just by looking, you can still pick out the clues. After entering the palace, she read a lot of books, and only later did she specialize in the strategy side.
Zhang Qiaoer's self-esteem was a little hit.
She only thought about making something to sell, but she only knew that there were very few people who bought it, maybe because she didn't do it well enough, but she didn't think about anything else.
"Xiaoyu girl said lightly, I wanted to do some embroidery work to supplement the family, but Guanshan Town is not better than Jimo Village, embroidery costs eyes, time-consuming, my embroidery work is not unique, although the price is not high, but everyone is also doing their own embroidery work, and they are not willing to buy others to do it." Zhang Qiaoer said far-fetched.
Only people in big places will let people do these things on their behalf, and poor places do it themselves in order to save money.
Ziyu blinked, looked at the shell sculpture that already had a prototype in his hand, and said softly, "I know two kinds of embroidery, one is Shu embroidery and the other is Beijing embroidery." If you want to learn, I can teach you. But does Miss Qiao'er really think that even if these two embroidery arts are placed in Guanshan Town, will anyone buy them? Shu embroidery and Beijing embroidery even in Linzi, is very few people will, but all the proficient people have been invited by everyone, spend a year and a half, embroider a picture of a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, the noble people look happy, eight thousand taels, how will it be given, but in Guanshan Town will not, no one has that spare money. โ
Zhang Qiao'er's brows became tighter and tighter, and Gu Li looked at Ziyu strangely, eight thousand taels, it is easy to say, the silver money is really so easy to earn, and Jimo Village will not be so poor.
whispered, "Little Fish Girl has seen more than Qiao'er, but Qiao'er is not stupid...... Eighteen thousand taels, no one will take so much silver to play, just to buy an embroidered piece......"
Ziyu pursed his lips, Jimo Village is poor, Daddy Zhang can't cure the disease because he has no money, if Jimo Village gets rich, will Ah Wen feel much better.
However, it is obvious that Zhang Qiaoer does not understand.
So Ziyu turned to ask, "Why didn't anyone go farther, didn't Jimo have a business?" Jimo is close to the sea, and if the sea goods can be transported farther, although they are tired, they can make money. โ
Shinong businessmen, businessmen are the last, but they are the most profitable.
Even if it is by the sea, and there are infinite treasures at the bottom of the sea, why is it so poor?
Zhang Qiao'er smiled awkwardly, "Jimo Village is just a small village, people who have gone far away are afraid that they will not be able to return home, not long ago Uncle Liu in the house on the mountain next to him, he came back, he worked hard outside for several years, and when he came back, he only brought back a few dozen taels of silver, and repaired the recipe, although he earned more than in Jimo, but he walked for a few years, and when he came back, his daughter-in-law was already ......" The words did not continue.
Ziyu said no more.
People here don't dare to think, they don't dare to think about it, they don't dare to do it, and if they don't dare to do it, they can only be content with the status quo.
Turning her head and quietly continuing to do what she was doing, Zhang Qiaoer looked strange, "This, what is this?" โ
"This is a dog, I used to have a Chow Chow, my husband chose it for me when I was very young, raised it for more than ten years, and it passed away a few months ago......"
The door was pushed open a crack.
A pair of eyes fell on Ziyu's hand, looking at a chubby shell sculpture, and his brows furrowed.
What is this?
