Chapter 39: New Usage
Mother? ”
If it weren't for Zhao Shi walking in, Su Jiu'er wouldn't have realized that she was coming.
All of Zhao's attention was on Su Jiu'er's hand, and he took the embroidery from Su Jiu'er's hand tremblingly.
His lips trembled slightly, Zhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and his rough fingertips gently rested on the mandarin duck's body, looking at the embroidery under his hand in amazement.
Su Jiu'er suddenly came back to her senses, she only learned double-sided embroidery after going to the capital, and now she was seen by the Zhao family......
Talking about phlegm and heat in her heart, Su Jiu'er smiled and wanted to bring the screen over, but she didn't want Zhao to hold it very tightly, "Mother, this is actually ......"
"It's so pretty." Zhao raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, grabbed Su Jiu'er's arm with one hand, and looked serious, "Who did you learn from?" ”
Su Jiu'er smiled bitterly, her eyes dodging and she didn't dare to look at Zhao.
All of Zhao's attention was on Su Jiu'er, of course she knew exactly what her own daughter would do.
"Actually," Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and smiled, "I followed Xianggong to the town a few days ago, and I saw that people had embroidered things, I looked at it twice, and I thought about going back and trying to see if I could embroider it......"
The voice behind Su Jiu'er became smaller and smaller, and the hands in his sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists.
"That's right." Zhao said, slowly let go of Su Jiu'er's hand, raised his hand and patted Su Jiu'er's hand gently, "I heard that embroidery can be sold for a lot of money, and you can teach me when you go back." ”
Su Jiu'er smiled and nodded.
Finally sent Zhao away, Su Jiu'er glanced at the reverse side of the screen, and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Zhao didn't find out, otherwise the statement just now wouldn't work at all.
After a while, Zhao came in with a piece of cloth to find Su Jiu'er and asked Su Jiu'er to teach her embroidery.
Su Jiu'er had no way to embroider at all, and kept teaching Zhao embroidery, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
The afternoon sun was a little dazzling, and Su Jiu'er was helping Zhao draw the pattern, when he heard Su Mu's voice coming from outside, "Brother-in-law!" ”
As soon as Su Jiu'er put down the brush in his hand, and when he got up and was about to go out, he received a roll of the eyes of Zhao.
"Go out when you're done." Zhao sat at the table, holding his chin in one hand, and looked at Su Jiu'er intently, "Go after painting this!" ”
"Mother." Su Jiu'er shouted helplessly, she had already drawn three patterns for the Zhao family, and it would take a quarter of an hour to finish this pattern.
Zhao raised his hand and patted the table, "Let him stay here to eat for a while, you hurry up and draw, hurry up." ”
Su Jiu'er sighed a little helplessly, and lowered her head to draw the pattern like an appointment.
From the side of the courtyard, there was a chat between Gu Feng and Su Mu, Su Jiu'er cautiously raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao, seeing that she didn't look loose, she could only lower her head and draw silently.
Perhaps because he wanted to see Gu Feng earlier, Su Jiu'er's men moved faster and faster, hastily drew the last trick, handed it directly to Zhao's face, and said respectfully, "Mother, you take your time, I'll go out first." ”
Without waiting for Zhao to say a word, Su Jiu'er went out with a smoke.
As soon as she walked out of the house, Su Jiu'er saw Gu Feng squatting with Su Mu to feed Xiaobai chicken.
"Xianggong." The smile on Su Jiu'er's face became brighter and brighter, and she walked quickly in front of Gu Feng, pulled him up, and looked up and down on his body, "I'm not injured!" ”
"It's fine." Gu Feng stood calmly in place, letting Su Jiu'er check it.
Seeing that the clothes on his body were intact and not damaged in any way, and it really didn't look like anything, Su Jiu'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Are there a lot of rabbits in the mountains?" ”
Speaking of this, Gu Feng frowned slightly, "A lot." ”
"Will the rabbit eat up all the grass in the mountains?" Su Jiu'er is more worried about this problem now, if there is no grass in the mountain, the rabbit may go down the mountain.
"Not really, don't worry."
"Ahem."
Suddenly, there was a cough not far away, Su Jiu'er followed the sound and saw Zhao standing at the door with a cold face.
Su Jiu'er reflexively let go of the hand holding Gu Feng's arm, and stood in place crampedly.
After lunch, Su Jiu'er diligently took the initiative to wash the dishes, waiting for the things to be cleaned up, she took the initiative to say goodbye to Su's father and Zhao's family, and followed Gu Feng to the house.
Gu Feng carried the big bag and small bag, and Su Jiu'er hugged Xiaobai and followed Gu Feng towards the house.
"Xianggong, I will lend the silver to Ning Yue'er, and let them pay it back a little every year, and pay it off within six years." Saying this, Su Jiu'er looked up at Gu Feng beside her.
"Yes." Gu Feng was not very interested in these things, in his opinion, as long as Su Jiu'er was happy, it would be fine.
When she got home, Su Jiu'er felt a sense of relief.
Living in Su's house these days, she has been cautious, and she feels unspeakably uncomfortable.
It was comfortable to return to his own home, but seeing that the dust fell on the table, Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a smile, "Xianggong, you will rest, and I will clean up the room." ”
Gu Feng put the burden on his body on the big wooden box, escaped from the money bag in his arms, and handed it to Su Jiu'er, "Money." ”
Su Jiu'er smiled and took the money bag from Gu Feng's hand, weighed it in his hand, and estimated that there were six taels of silver.
Rabbit meat is not worth much, how can it be sold at such a high price?
"Xianggong, there are so many rabbits on this mountain?" Su Jiu'er asked tentatively.
"No, I met a wild boar." Gu Feng said simply, "Most of the rabbits on the mountain are cubs now, and they are easy to eat, so I'll go in and take a look in a few days." ”
Hearing Gu Feng say this, Su Jiu'er breathed a sigh of relief, put all the silver in the wooden box he carried with him, looked at the broken silver inside, thought about it, took out fifty wen from it and put it in the money bag, turned around and handed it to Gu Feng.
This money bag was specially made by Su Jiu'er for Gu Feng, and he always wore it on his body.
Picking up the money bag, Gu Feng noticed the weight of the money bag, "There is still money in it." ”
"There are fifty wen in it, if you want to buy food in the future, you can spend it directly, you don't need to take money from me, I will give you fifty wen every month in the future." Su Jiu'er felt that men had to bring some money with them, they were in the countryside, and there were not many places to use money.
The men in the village all like to drink, but Su Jiu'er has never seen Gu Feng drinking, so he thought, "Xianggong, it's good to keep this money for drinking." ”
Gu Feng's brows twisted slightly, and he accepted it obediently.
When it comes to cleaning, the two have a clear division of labor.
Su Jiu'er mainly cleaned up the things in the house, while Gu Feng just wanted to clean up the yard.
Although the yard was empty, there was not much to do, Gu Feng squatted next to the water tank, washed his hands vigorously in the wooden basin, saw that the water in the basin was turbid, got up and poured the water into the vegetable garden, and then washed his hands again.
Walking into the house with a basin of water in his wet hands, Gu Feng saw that Su Jiu'er was changing the sheets and quilts.
Easily put the towel hanging on the side and washed it in the wooden basin, Gu Feng took it out and began to wipe the table, his movements were very large, and the table shook slightly.
Su Jiu'er turned her head and looked at the fabric in Gu Feng's hand, her brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Xianggong." Su Jiu'er hesitated for a moment, unconsciously raised her right hand and touched her earlobe, and whispered.
"Huh?" Gu Feng worked very carefully, wearing a knee covering in front of him, his sleeves rolled up high, and he raised his sweaty forehead to look at Su Jiu'er.
"You don't have a handkerchief in your hand." Su Jiu'er really couldn't cry or laugh.
"Isn't it?" Gu Feng stood up straight, opened the fabric in his hand, and looked at it suspiciously, there were still a few ropes on it, it would be very eye-catching to look at, and this time it was even more eye-catching when he looked closely.
Su Jiu'er sat on the bed, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and forced herself to pretend to be calm, "No, it's my belly pocket." ”
Gu Feng threw the things in his hand on the table a little uncomfortably, as if he remembered something, and picked it up busily.
He said how could this towel be so comfortable to the touch, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be satin.
"Well, in a moment, shall we go to town?" Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er without changing his face, "I think you need to add some clothes." ”
......
After a major cleaning, the home was restored to neatness and cleanliness,
Su Jiu'er put the clothes to be washed into the wooden basin.
Before she could wash it, she was taken directly to the town by Gu Feng.
"Does your stomach still hurt?" Gu Feng locked the door, glanced at Su Jiu'er seriously, and asked calmly.
"Much better, it doesn't hurt anymore." Su Jiu'er originally wanted to refuse, but she still came out with Gu Feng.
The two of them should buy some good materials for their close-fitting clothes.
When he arrived in the town, Gu Feng took the lead in bringing Su Jiu'er to Buzhuang.
Gu Feng has never understood the ingredients, so he just stood quietly and watched Su Jiu'er choose the ingredients.
Su Jiu'er chose white satin fabrics and waited for Gu Feng to pay, these materials she planned to make profane clothes.
After paying, Gu Feng took Su Jiu'er to the dim sum shop to buy some dim sum, and the two of them walked back with a smile and a smile.
After walking a few steps, Su Jiu'er saw Zhao Xiu'er walking towards her with a maid.
"Sister Su!"
Without waiting for Su Jiu'er to react, Zhao Xiu'er beckoned to her vigorously and shouted loudly.
Su Jiu'er couldn't ignore it now, so she stubbornly greeted her, "This young lady is good." ”
"Sister Su, is this treating me as an outsider?" Zhao Xiu'er took Su Jiu'er's hand with both hands, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed happily into a line, "I went to my sister's house to find my sister last year, but I didn't want you to be at home, I planned to go to Sister Su in two days, but I didn't expect to meet me here so coincidentally." ”
Su Jiu'er awkwardly withdrew her hand from Zhao Xiu'er's hand, detached but polite, "I don't know how this young lady knows where my home is?" ”
When Zhao Xiu'er heard Su Jiu'er say this, the smile on her lips became even brighter, "I once went to Zhaojia Village and saw my sister look good, so I asked someone to inquire." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Xiu'er remembered a big event, "Oh, I just wanted to talk to my sister, until I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Zhao Xiu'er, and my sister just calls me Xiu'er." ”
In a trance, Su Jiu'er remembered the first time she saw Zhao Xiu'er in her previous life.
She walked up to Su Jiu'er proudly, made Su Jiu'er kneel down to her, and said sonorously, "From now on, I, Zhao Xiu'er, will be the housemother of this house!" ”
