Chapter 103: A Road in Huashan (The Tenth Month Pass)
When she said this, she killed two birds with one stone, not only not letting Jia Peiling mistakenly think that she was leaving in anger, but also bringing her and Xu Sanchun closer by the way.
"Okay, then we're done!" Xu Sanchun should take a bite.
After Wei Ling left, the two walked towards the garden. The sun was about to set, and the clouds on the horizon were rendered pink, like the peach cheeks of a girl hidden in the veil.
"Do you have something you want to ask me?" Jia Peiling asked.
Xu Sanchun said "um" and said, "I don't know if it's appropriate." She told Wu Jing's situation again and said, "Sister Peiling, after becoming an embroidery girl, is it not allowed to marry?" ”
Hearing this question, Jia Peiling's expression became a little solemn.
"There is no such explicit rule, but it is. If you want to get married after entering the embroidery school, you have to wait until six years later. When we entered the school, we were not only these people, but also those who left the embroidery girls who left the embroidery school and went home to get married. ”
"Why do you have to wait six years?"
"Six years is enough time to see a person's qualifications." Jia Peiling said: "Those who leave are people who know that they can't go further and have no hope of becoming a talented girl." ”
"You may not know that in two months there will be a biennial conference. The embroidery schools of the whole province will gather in Dongwufu City to compete on the same stage and accept the test of Huixinniang. ”
Jia Peiling said in a deep voice: "More importantly, our six years of hard cultivation are just for this time. Whether you can become a talented lady depends on that moment. ”
It turned out to be such a big thing.
Embroidery is a valuable resource of the Brocade Mansion, and the embroidery school spends resources to cultivate, and makes the embroidery girl gain unprecedented respect. Even, even the embroidery girl's family has benefited from this.
In a town, there are not many embroiderers who can pass the embroidery test. There will be a few people, and at most no more than twenty people. But if you look at it from the perspective of the entire Great Shang Dynasty, this is a very large number.
And all these resources together became a big expense for the household department of the Great Shang Dynasty.
Therefore, the fate of embroidery girls is naturally no longer controlled by themselves. At least not for six years.
Xu Sanchun figured this out and asked, "Then if you don't become a talented girl, what should you do?" ”
"Those who didn't pass it all went to the embroidery capital where Yunheze was located, and embroidered the most used low-level formation for the people in the world."
Xu Sanchun was taken aback, "Can't you go home?" The first time she heard about this place, she didn't know where it was, but it meant that the embroiderers were going to leave their homeland.
Jia Peiling shook her head slowly and said slowly: "No, I can only fight hard, and only after becoming a talented lady can I have the right to go home." ”
It turned out that after six years, she would either get married, become a talented lady, or go to Yunheze.
Under the glamorous appearance of the Brocade Mansion, it is such a harsh and cruel system. No wonder, in the embroidery school, I only saw the embroidery girl of B House and C She, and I couldn't see the embroidery girl before.
"So, what about the embroidery girls who left to get married, how about them?"
"Depose the identity of the embroidery girl and order her to stay away from her hometown and get married in a designated place." This is not far from going to Yunheze. Xu Sanchun covered his mouth and was speechless in surprise.
What is the difference between this and being expelled from the Brocade Mansion? Once restored to the status of ordinary people, the identity advantages brought by the original Brocade Mansion will be gone.
The embroidery girl herself must go to a strange place and start a new life. All the privileges that his family once enjoyed were gone. The embroidery girl who could glorify her ancestors became the sinner of the family in the blink of an eye.
Six years have brought me that I am no longer accepted by my family, and I have to go away. It's no wonder that more embroiderers would rather fight for the qualifications of talented girls than choose that path.
In other words, once you become the embroidery girl that everyone envies, there is only one way in front of you.
No wonder, I only know that there are great benefits to being an embroiderer, but I don't know all this. No wonder, everything about embroidery must be kept strictly confidential, and not half a word must be revealed. Presumably, the disposition of the embroidery girl who chooses to marry is also carried out in secret and will not be known to the public.
If the people knew about this, wouldn't everyone marry their daughters before the embroidery girl test?
Looking at Xu Sanchun's shocked expression, Jia Peiling smiled bitterly and said, "When I knew, I was even more surprised than you." ”
If she could, of course she would choose to leave the embroidery school to get married. It doesn't matter if you can't get married, as long as you can be by your father's side, it's good to live like this for the rest of your life.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a choice.
Compared with leaving her hometown, she might as well fight hard, if she can obtain the qualification of a talented mother, she will bring greater glory to her father. If you can't, even if you go to Yunheze, at least it won't affect your father's life.
"Then if you become a talented girl......"
"Cai Niang, she will enter the county embroidery school. For example, our talented lady in Nanfeng Town will go to Tan'an County to learn embroidery. ”
This is also the reason why Jia Peiling and other embroidery girls chose this road, the county seat is not far from Nanfeng Town after all. It wasn't too difficult to find time to go home or come to see her.
"Then Mrs. Wen, why are you here with us?"
"If you want to be qualified to manage a town embroidery school, you have to pass a special exam." Speaking of this, Jia Peiling shook her head and said, "As for what kind of exam it is, I don't know. ”
After all, Jia Peiling is just an embroiderer, and her knowledge is limited.
It turns out that not all talented girls can become people like Wen Niangzi. It is also said that Cai Niang can produce a batch every six years, and there are so many embroidery schools, and there are not many places.
Somehow, Xu Sanchun suddenly had such a sentence in his heart: Life is a person who learns embroidery, and death is a ghost who learns embroidery.
From embroidery to talent, it will take six years of hard work, so what about from talent to Wanniang? Isn't it by a six-year cycle? How many six years does a woman have in her life?
Xu Sanchun thought so, so he asked.
Jia Peiling shook her head and smiled: "That's all I know, and going up is something I don't know." Miharu, if you can, let me know after taking a look for me. ”
She had never seen Wen Zhiyi attach so much importance to a person, Xu Sanchun was passing the performance of the embroidery test at that time, and Jia Peiling also saw it.
Therefore, she faintly felt that Xu Sanchun's future road would go farther than them.
Xu Sanchun cleaned up his mood and thanked Shi Li: "Thank you Sister Peiling for telling me so much today." Originally, she just came to ask if the embroidery girl could get married, but she didn't expect Jia Peiling to tell her so much about embroidery.
"You're welcome. These people out there don't know, but you'll know sooner or later. Jia Peiling said: "In two months, it will be the Hundred Learnings Conference, and Mrs. Wen will tell you everything." ”
