She made more breakfast, filled a bowl of porridge and took a steamed bun, and took advantage of Cai's inattention to go to Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's house along the remote path at the back of the village.

Zhou Ning's mother-in-law regained some of her spirits and had the strength to sit up and eat.

Seeing Du Ruo again after one night, Zhou Ning's mother-in-law took her hand and thanked her again and again, and tears wet a large part of her clothes. Du Ruo felt that if she could get out of bed, she would probably have to kneel for her.

Young people have always been fearless and not afraid of life and death, but the older people get, the more greedy they are for life and fear of death.

"Mother-in-law, your body is still strong, and you will be able to get out of bed in two days." Du Ruo comforted her.

Her daughter is married far away, has four children, and the big and small naughty children cry and laugh all day long, making people busy like a spinning top, and they can't come to visit her often, even if they come once, the stool is not warm and leaves in a hurry.

Thinking about it, she is also miserable and helpless in her heart.

Zhou Ning's mother-in-law leaned on the head of the bed and looked at Du Ruo who was cleaning up in the house, and after a while, said to her: "My wife has no other skills, she will make a few clothes, cut a pattern, and the embroidery is not bad. ”

Du Ruo knew that she was grateful to herself, but she didn't do this to learn anything. After thinking about it, she walked up to her, approached her ear and said, "Mother-in-law, you have a good rest first, take care of your body, and if you are willing to teach me another day, I will follow you to learn." ”

Granny Zhou Ning heard her words clearly this time, and nodded slowly.

Du Ruo opened the doors and windows of her house again and breathed slowly, before leaving there.

When she returned home, Song Ju'an had already gone to teach in the school.

Cai leaned against the threshold, his legs outstretched, and his crutches rested beside him. She was not in good spirits for the past two days, her face was bitter and gray, and her hair seemed to be much whiter, after all, a cow had lost all the hard work of the year, and she had gained some hope, and it was broken in an instant, and her heart was like a knife.

Du Ruo understands that this is the foundation of the people at the bottom. The sunrise and sunset rest, the days pass day by day, mixed with the ups and downs of life, the parents are short, and they are accustomed to the poverty.

She walked past Cai, who only glared at her.

Du Ruo went back to the house and took some silver, wrapped two pieces of pancake and brought it with him, then walked out and said to Cai's sitting in front of the door: "I'm going to work in Xiuzhuang." ”

She took the carriage of the seventh brother and went to Qingyang Temple first.

After these days, there seem to be more pilgrims in Qingyang Temple than before, and several halls have been repaired, and the few Buddha statues she painted are hung on the walls of the main hall for people to worship.

She walked around the temple before entering the room, and painted calmly for two hours, drawing the last picture of the spring scene of the mountain temple.

In the meditation room.

She sat cross-legged with Master Zhenluo, with the stove in the middle of the tea, and the tea gurgled and steamed in the pot.

Outside the window, the shadows of bamboo swayed, making a rustling sound, and the chirping of birds.

She rubbed the teacup, took a sip, and said to Zhenluo: "Thank you Master Zhenluo, these tasks have been completed, and if I have time in the future, I will come to visit you again." ”

Zhenluo nodded, got up and took two pieces of charcoal with an iron clip, put them in the stove to burn, sat down again, looked at Du Ruo and said, "What are the plans of the female benefactor in the future?" ”

Du Ruo smiled, "I don't have any long-term plans, I was very nervous when I came here, and now I can only adapt to it, as for the future, no one can predict it, I can only take one step at a time, but I will fight for any opportunity, you know, I am not a person who gives up easily, and I refuse to accept my fate." ”

"The poor monk understands that it's just that the world is difficult, and the female donor should be more careful." Mana Road.

"Well, thank you Master Zhenluo."

took out the IOU, and the temple settled all the remuneration for this period of time to her, and after removing the ten taels of silver she received last time, she had twelve taels left in her hand.

After leaving Qingyang Temple, she went to Yunshui Embroidery Village.

When she got there, the owner of the embroidery village had already greeted the person in charge, she went to report her name, and after being asked a few words, she was led in.

Walking along the bluestone-paved road and around a flower garden, Du Ruo saw that Meng Yuanzhou, the owner of the embroidery village, was walking towards him with his only son, Meng Xiuwen.

The older and the younger were talking while walking, Meng Xiuwen looked up at his father, his eyes were shining, his little face was full of joy, his voice was soft and wriggling, his cheeks were bulging on one side, and he was chewing candy in his mouth.

The subordinate led her to walk a few steps quickly to Meng Yuanzhou, and bowed respectfully: "Master Meng!" Little master! ”

Du Ruo also hurriedly saluted and shouted 'Meng Ye'.

Meng Yuanzhou wore a crow-blue robe today, still elegant and upright, but it made people feel that it was not easy to get close. The subordinates saluted, he nodded slightly, took Meng Xiuwen's hand and continued to walk forward, without even looking at them.

The subordinate straightened up and took Du Ruo to continue walking towards the pavilion in front, Du Ruo glanced back as he walked, but he didn't expect that the little young master Meng Xiuwen was also looking back at her in confusion.

Du Ruo smiled at him.

After a while, she was led to a room at the back of the attic, where she changed into the uniform clothes worn by the female workers and went to another place.

When Du Ruo followed the person who led her into the small building with the good works building written on the plaque, the things that caught her eyes really opened her eyes!

Gold and silver filigree, pearlescent and colorful, dazzling, full of brilliance.

On the table, on the shelves, and in the big boxes are all embroidery, layer upon layer.

In front of each female worker, a long table is placed on which the embroidery to be inspected is placed, and this is the final process.

Merchants placed orders in Xiuzhuang, Xiuzhuang had to deliver on time, and if they breached the contract, they had to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

"Aunt Zheng, this is new, sent here to work." He led the man to lead her to a stop in front of an older woman.

The woman with a meaty face was holding the embroidery in one hand and severely reprimanded the female worker on the side: "Don't you see such a big stitch here?!" ”

"It's my negligence......," the woman muttered, blushing.

The woman threw the embroidery in front of her, "You will be fined five cents this time, and if you do it again this month, the fine will be doubled!" ”

The female worker nodded in horror and thanked her repeatedly.

Seeing Aunt Zheng looking over, Du Ruo hurriedly smiled at each other, respectfully shouted 'Aunt Zheng', and said: "I am a new female worker in the embroidery village, and I hope that Aunt Zheng will take more care." ”

Aunt Zheng glanced at her up and down, and said with a smile: "It's good to say, you learn first, Ah Ying!" Jewel! Come here! ”

Two women soon approached her.

Aunt Zheng said to them: "This newcomer, you take it!" Teach everything that needs to be taught, and if she does something stupid, I'll pay you both!" ”

Ah Ying and Bao Die hurriedly responded and nodded to Du Ruo.

Du Ruo followed them to the other side, his eyes shuttled back and forth on the embroidery, and he was amazed in his heart.

There are really people outside the world, and the embroiderers of silver flowers are counted in the village, but compared with these, the difference is still far away, although she doesn't know much about these, only by sight.

Ah Ying's face has long lost the respect she had when facing Aunt Zheng, and she looked extremely impatient at this time, the most annoying thing for these old people is to teach newcomers, and they don't pay them more for their delayed work!

"Where are you from?" Bao Die asked.

Du Ruo replied with a smile: "From Donggou Village." ”

"Donggou Village? The village is not close to here, so your embroidery skills should not be bad, right? Ah Ying asked.

Du Ruo shook his head: "I'm not very good at embroidery." ”

The two of them looked at her in surprise, as if they had heard something terrible.

"Our room is full of embroidery workers, and those who can be assigned here are all old people who are recognized by the master, with a lot of experience, you can see the mistakes at a glance, and the life is also brisk, why do you not know how to embroider and assign you here?" Ah Ying said a little angrily.

"There are dozens of kinds of embroidery needles, and I can't remember them all in a short time, you don't understand anything, how can we teach ......" Baodie looked at her irritably and sneered.

Du Ruoxin said, she thought that what Meng Ye sent to her was a corner job, purely to send her, but she didn't expect it to be so important?

"I was personally sent by Meng Ye, just tell me the two of you, and I'll just learn by heart." Du Ruo said.

Ah Ying and Bao Die glanced at each other, although they had contempt in their hearts, but when it came to Meng Ye, they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they suppressed their anger.

"Come, come to me, and watch me work." Bao Die said to her.

Du Ruo walked over.

Bao Die carefully checked for a while, pointed to a place on the sleeve of a dress and said to her, "The stitches here are uneven and need to be reworked." ”

Du Ruo nodded, and said in his heart, does it need to be checked so carefully? It's not for art viewing, it's just for wearing!

"These are all worn by high-ranking officials and nobles, and we poor people can't afford to wear them at all, so the requirements are very high." Bao Die said again.

The two of them were sitting, Du Ruo was standing next to him, and after a while, his feet were a little numb. Glancing to the side, there was no extra stool, so she had to shift her weight on her left and right feet from time to time.

Ah Ying suddenly asked her, "I heard that there is a beautiful man in your village, named Song Ju'an, do you know?" ”

Du Ruo: "............ Know. ”

Ah Ying and Bao Die glanced at each other, both with great interest on their faces.

Ah Ying said very regretfully: "It is said that he married a lazy mother-in-law, and that mother-in-law will always hook up with men, and she does not keep the beauty of the family, but prefers to make eye contact with others, which is really unethical!" ”

Du Ruo: "......"

Hehe......

"That mother-in-law seems to be called Du Rulan? Have you dealt with her? Bao Die asked.

Du Ruo nodded, "It's all from the same village, we've met, and I haven't spoken a few times, I heard that she has been keeping her duty recently." ”

"That's all pretended! I think you're honest too! By the way, what's your last name? ”

Du Ruo: "The surname is Du." ”

"Your surname is Du, too?" Baodie and Ah Ying were a little stunned.

"There are quite a few people with the surname Du in our village." Du Ruo said.
