Chapter 11: To the Town
I fell asleep in a daze, and when I got up the next morning, Tang Zhi'an hadn't come back yet, she was a little worried, after breakfast, in order to stop thinking about it, she found something to do for herself, and sewed Tang Zhi'an's torn clothes.
Picking up the needle and thread, she suddenly felt very familiar, and her brain also remembered that the original owner had a very good embroidery skill.
The original owner had saved an old woman before, and the old woman was an embroidery girl in the palace, and she was released when she was older, and she couldn't find her family, and finally she thought she was a godmother.
The godmother passed on all the skills to her, and finally went away due to illness, so the original owner's embroidery skills are very good.
Thinking of this, she decided to have time to look for it in the cloth village and see if she could find embroidery to do.
In the afternoon, Tang Zhi'an hadn't come back yet, and the longer the time, the more worried Lin Qiu'er became, and she was a little restless, so in order not to think nonsense, she was ready to go to the river to wash clothes.
She really didn't know which way she should go in this strange place, and finally followed a woman to the river, which was still some distance from where they lived.
There were several other women by the river who were washing their clothes, and when they saw her coming, they gave each other a look.
Lin Qiu'er pretended not to see it when she saw it, but just found a place for herself and squatted down to wash her clothes.
Originally, everyone could wash their own clothes, but who knew that when she just squatted down, a woman who was closer to her left directly with her basin.
Lin Qiu'er was a little puzzled, and the woman who left her hid away from her, and whispered to the people around her: "It's really scared to death, I thought I was going to get bad luck!" ”
The person next to him also nodded and said, "That's right, I thought she would avoid us like that evil star!" ”
"I don't know why, but she's willing to stay with us."
Lin Qiu'er vaguely heard these words, and also understood that Tang Zhi'an was excluded by the people in the village, so he lived here alone.
She snorted coldly and continued to wash her clothes, this place was not anyone's house, she wanted to be here, if they were afraid that they would get bad luck, they could leave.
When she was halfway washed, all the women were gone, and when they saw her, they all went away, and no one came to her.
Lin Qiu'er was even more angry in her heart, and went back after washing her clothes and carrying the basin.
What she didn't know was that because of this incident, it spread in the village all at once, and everyone knew that the woman who had been saved by the evil star had stayed behind and became his daughter-in-law.
Everyone said that the evil star had a good life and could find a daughter-in-law for himself.
There are also some people who say that Lin Qiu'er is disfigured, Tang Zhi'an is a bad star, they are really a good match, they are a natural family.
On the third day, Tang Zhi'an hadn't come back yet, and Lin Qiu'er lost her patience and felt that she was starting to get irritable.
At night, Lin Qiu'er's worries have developed into crankiness, and she even can't help but fantasize about whether Tang Zhi'an is calling the heavens and the earth in the mountains, every time she thinks of this, she can't wait to go to the mountains to find him now.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that she slowly wanted to sleep, and in a daze, she felt as if there was movement in the yard.
Her eyes widened, she was the only one in the house, could it be that someone with bad intentions came in?
Thinking of this, she quickly sat up, took out the hidden knife from under her pillow, held it in her hand, and quietly opened the door and went out.
There was a figure in the courtyard who was bending down to do something, and she took advantage of the other party's lack of attention and raised the knife, only to turn around and the knife stabbed him in the air.
When Lin Qiu'er was about to stab again, the other party spoke, "Miss Lin, it's me." ”
Hearing the voice, the knife in Lin Qiu'er's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, patting his chest and panting, "It's you!" I was scared to death, I thought it was a bad guy! ”
Tang Zhi'an's eyes were accustomed to darkness, and he could even see Lin Qiu'er rolling her lovely eyes.
Tang Zhi'an picked up the knife on the ground and said to Lin Qiu'er: "It's not early, you go back to sleep quickly!" ”
Lin Qiu'er didn't plan to go to sleep, he just came back from the mountains, he must be tired and hungry, how could she sleep?
first went to the kitchen to light the lamp, and then hurriedly boiled hot water for Tang Zhian to take a bath and make him food.
Although the food was rough, Tang Zhi'an's heart was very warm, this was the first time that someone had prepared these things for him when he came back from home!
Lin Qiu'er brought the meal to the hall, and then came out again, looking at the prey he brought back, he asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
While tidying up the yard, Tang Zhian replied, "It's a deer." ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded, "Is it still alive?" ”
Tang Zhi'an scratched his head, "It's alive, I just injured its hind legs, and the deer is more valuable if it's not dead." ”
When he finished eating, Tang Zhian looked at her and said, "This harvest is really good, with this deer, you can go and buy fabrics to make clothes for yourself." ”
Tang Zhi'an's heart was so happy, Lin Qiu'er originally wanted to say no, but then she thought that she wanted to find embroidery, so she nodded, "Okay." ”
Seeing that she agreed, Tang Zhi'an's heart was even happier.
The next day, he was going to the town, and when he had prepared all his things, Lin Qiu'er came out of the house, "I want to go to the town too, okay?" ”
Tang Zhian nodded.
The two of them went to the town together, Xinglin Village was not far from the town, and the two of them walked for a quarter of an hour to get to the town.
This town is called Wankou Town, because it is close to the river, so this town is very prosperous and the flow of people is relatively large.
Tang Zhi'an's prey has a special store to collect, and after going to the town, he goes straight to the target, Tang Zhi'an goes in to sell the prey, and Lin Qiu'er is waiting for him at the door.
The deer was sold for ten taels of silver, Tang Zhi'an's heart was very happy, and his expression was relaxed after he came out, "Let's go to Buzhuang!" ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded and followed him to Buzhuang.
After the two of them went to Buzhuang, the shopkeeper saw what they were wearing, but there was still a smile on their faces, "What do you need?" ”
"I'll take a look first." Lin Qiu'er replied while looking around.
Seeing the finished embroidery on the counter, she asked, "Do you collect embroidery here?" ”
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Do you know how to embroider?" ”
There are some mountain villages near this town, and ordinary women don't know how to embroider, and the families who can embroider in the town are also good, and they will not easily sell their embroidery, so it is difficult to collect the embroidery of their cloth village.
Lin Qiu'er nodded, "Well, yes, so I want to ask you about the situation and see if I want to sell it to you." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Generally, this embroidery is to see how the finished product can negotiate the price, the larger the finished product, the higher the price, of course, but also embroider well." “
Lin Qiu'er also knew, so she prepared in advance, took out the purse she had made for Tang Zhi'an yesterday, and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Look at it, this is what I embroidered." ”
The shopkeeper took a look, his eyes lit up, this woman's embroidery skills are really good, "Well, yes, you really have nothing to say about this craft, you see if you want to pick up a large piece or embroider a purse, I will embroider a purse here for ten cents." ”
It's a shame that this craft only embroiders purses, and it would be great if I could embroider other large pieces.
Lin Qiu'er also thought so in her heart, she could only earn a hundred yuan by embroidering ten purses, if it was a large piece, these dozens of taels of silver would definitely be there.
Lin Qiu'er walked around the cloth village before finally speaking, "What big items do you have here?" ”
