Early in the morning, I heard the sound of Liu getting up again, and I heard her mother say to her father in a daze: "His father, I want to go to the town today to take the needle and thread embroidered a while ago and sell it. Zhao Jin immediately sobered up, for her, the town is equal to blingbling money, which is equivalent to business opportunities, and immediately got up and ran to her mother, looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I want to go to the town with you." ”

After hearing this, Liu Shi was both surprised and worried, and frowned, feeling that this child has been extremely lively since he got well, and his temperament seems to be a lot wilder, which is still good. Zhao Jin looked at her for fear of not agreeing, and in desperation, he took out a trick that he also despised himself, pulled her sleeve and shook it vigorously, her clear eyes looked expectant, and said in a sweet voice: "Mother, I have never been to the town, I want to go and see, you take me out for a walk, I promise not to cause trouble." ”

Liu asked her father with his eyes, and her father said: "You can take a piece with you, it's good to relax after Siya recovers, I still have a few copper plates, and by the way, I can buy her some gluttony." When Zhao Jin heard this, she felt that there was a play, so she happily jumped in front of her father and complimented: "It's better to be a father." Her mother looked at their father and daughter helplessly, and also acquiesced to this request. Liu's going to the town to sell embroidery is also Xia's acquiescence, after all, Liu's needlework is really good, and the shops in the town have always spent a good amount of money to collect her embroidery, but this money basically can't reach Liu's hands, and it has to be handed over to Xia. Xia was slightly dissatisfied with Zhao Jin as well, and sneered on the side: "Eat idle meals." But because of the fourth child's strong ability to work, he usually earns more from odd jobs, and he has to acquiesce to the fact that he has to hand in the most money.

It's not early, the mother and daughter went to the village to do a mule cart with a package, the town is still a little far away, and if you want to go, you should go to the morning gathering. One person paid two cents and got on the mule cart, and half of the people on the mule cart were already done, and they all carried what they grew or raised to sell, and the Liu family greeted them one by one. I happened to meet Aunt Hua next door, and looked at them and greeted them very warmly: "Fourth daughter-in-law, are you going to the town to sell embroidery?" ”

Liu nodded kindly: "Aunt Hua, yes, Siya was sick some time ago and didn't have time to go, so it's better to make up for the family if you are free today, what about you, Aunt Hua?" Aunt Hua said with a smile: "This year, there are more chickens raised at home, and there are more eggs laid, so I will sell them in the town for a few dollars." ”

The few mothers-in-law next to him estimated that they were not very familiar with each other, and they didn't talk, and the group finally arrived in the town slowly, Liu helped himself out of the mule cart, Zhao Jin especially wanted to rub his buttocks, it was so uncomfortable that he was torn into two pieces. Liu Shi held her hand tightly and said, "Now is the time when there are many people, don't run around, follow me." Liu was afraid that Zhao Jin had never been to the town, so he wanted to run around for a while. Zhao Jin obediently agreed, but he still looked around curiously, feeling that the streets in ancient times were still very lively, and all kinds of gadgets were still very attractive. She watched people come and go, and had an unreal feeling, hoping that she just met the crew of a costume drama in Hengdian, and woke up from a dream that she was still living in modern times. However, the reality is so cruel that there is no going back.

Liu was very familiar with the embroidery shop, and after a while, he took them to the shop, and Zhao Jin looked at a group of people in front of him, and there were women and young girls in the show. Zhao Jin looked around in the shop, and found that the embroidery of this era was still quite exquisite, the embroidery was lifelike, the shop was selling embroidery over and over again, and the other side was selling jewelry such as hairpins and earrings and jade bracelets, Zhao Jin looked at it casually and didn't get started. Zhao Jin feels that although the jewelry here looks delicate but relatively old-fashioned, there are not many styles and patterns, and you can draw some patterns to make extra money if you have the conditions in the future. There was a time before because of the need to disguise himself as an art student because of his work, and he learned a few hands from the masters of the Academy of Fine Arts, and he had a little painting foundation since he was a child, Zhao Jin is still quite confident in his painting level, although he has not reached the level of a national player, but he has a refreshing ability in this era.

Not long after, it was Liu's turn to hand over the embroidery, the forty-year-old female shopkeeper, with a rich and shrewd face, looked at a bunch of embroidery she embroidered, on which were peonies, she looked at it carefully a few times, turned over and over before nodding with a smile: "You came a little late this time, it's been two months, but your embroidery has always been very delicate and high-level, a handkerchief is ten cents, a purse is eight cents, this small screen is one or two silver!" ”

The mother-in-law on the side counted the number of purses and said, "The shopkeeper has a total of twenty handkerchiefs and forty purses." ”

The shopkeeper picked up the abacus, crackled and skillfully fiddled with the abacus, and said quickly: "A total of one or two five dollars and twenty wen." After she finished speaking, she opened the drawer and took out one tael and four coins and handed them to Liu.

Liu put all the silver into the purse beside him, and then said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I still want to get some more work for myself." She thought for a while, took out a booklet, looked at it, and said: "There is a couple here who are getting married, and they want a pair of screens that have been together for a hundred years, if you can embroider them in half a month, you can add half a tael to the original one." ”

Liu Shi lowered his eyes and thought about it for a while, Siya spent a lot of money on this illness, and there was no other income at home, so he needed to earn more money to make up for it, in case of an accident next time, so he immediately agreed: "That's okay, I'll definitely send it to you at the beginning of next month." "Okay, you sign here and draw!"

After the discussion was settled, the shopkeeper ordered the cloth and silk threads of various colors to be given to Liu, and Liu saw that there was nothing missing, so he carefully received the package. Then, Liu took Zhao Jin out of the embroidery shop.
