"Although it's annoying, she is really pitiful, and she will only be bullied if she is too weak." Du Ruo said.
Song Yinhua's situation is the same as her.
Ah Ying looked disdainful: "Cut!" I heard that she had a good relationship when she was not married, and she was going to elope with the man, but she didn't expect to be found out by her family and arrested, so the man looked at her closely! If you can't wipe your buttocks clean, don't blame others for trampling her! ”
"That's it, who wants to listen to her all day long! Don't you see that no one is sitting with her? Everyone annoys her! Don't talk to her too much! Bao Die also sneered.
Although Du Ruo felt that the two of them were talking ugly, he did not refute it. And after listening to their words, he felt that Feng Ning was even more pitiful.
When she was working in the afternoon, Feng Ning seemed to feel very familiar with her, and after talking about her own affairs, she eagerly inquired about Du Ruo's family affairs.
"Is your husband good to you?" Feng Ning asked.
"Okay."
"Seeing you smiling every day, I must love you very much." Feng Ning sighed.
Du Ruo pondered that her tone was wrong, even if she was really doing well, what was she sighing about? Besides, you don't smile every day, do you? It's just normal dealing with people.
"It's not much better than you, every family has its own difficulties, but you still have to live a good life, don't you? Don't get into a dead end, there's always a way. Du Ruo knew that she was depressed, so he looked for an opportunity to persuade her.
"In that case, you're not doing well." Her expression was gloomy.
Du Ruo had to be patient and said: "My mother-in-law often scolds me, I have the right not to hear it, and my husband is always indifferent to me, I look down on me, and the expenses at home are also earned by my hard work, and when I go out of the house, everyone laughs at me outside, you see, I am not much better than you." ”
"Then you persuade me to live well, what are your plans?" Feng Ning asked.
"Me? I ...... "what she shouldn't say, she can't easily say it to others, so she has to be sloppy: "In the first half of the year, the poor family couldn't even eat, and now they won't be hungry." I don't have any other way for the time being, so I will work hard first, save some money, and maybe start a small business in the future. ”
Feng Ning nodded thoughtfully.
After a moment of silence, she spoke again about her tragic experience.
Du Ruo had a ball of twine rolling and pulling in her head, and she had a headache, and she wanted to cover her mouth and beg her to stop talking!
Some sufferings will be cheaper if they are talked about too much, which will make people look down on them even more, and they will only become more and more disheartened and fall into grief and grief to extricate themselves.
As soon as it was time to get off work today, she couldn't wait to walk out of the good work building.
However, before she could leave the embroidery village, she was stopped by Minse and stuffed her with a letter.
She took the letter and did not leave directly in the carriage, but went out into the street. There are some things that need to be added at home, and Du Ercheng has several patches on his clothes, and it is not appropriate for him to shake around with big thorns, but Du Ruo feels that it is an eyesore, so he wants to make new clothes for him.
When I got to the shop selling cloth on the street, I didn't expect the shop to be closed. Du Ruo thought about it, turned around and went to the Zongheng study again.
The study is decorated in a quaint way, the light is slightly dim, this study looks like some years, she bought a few books here last time and didn't finish reading it, at that time she hurriedly walked away, and didn't pay much attention to it, and then looked at it today, only to find that there were a lot of dazzling colors, all kinds of books were piled up on the shelves for people to choose, selling cabbage.
The owner of the study sat on the chair inside and took a nap, holding a tea cup in his hand, he had a big belly, and the hand holding the tea cup rested on his stomach, Du Ruo was afraid that he would accidentally break the cup in his hand.
After she looked around the first bookshelf, the boss finally woke up, rubbed his eyes, put the cup on the table, stood up and looked at her and said, "This lady can look at whatever she wants, and the price is cheap!" ”
Du Ruo smiled and asked pretending to be unintentional: "Are there any books such as embroidery patterns and jewelry dictionaries?" ”
The owner of the study half-tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "You look carefully, I can't remember it clearly!" I collected many of these books from the countryside, and they are of a wide variety. ”
Du Ruo nodded, and walked around the second bookshelf to look, the owner of the study also walked to the other side while thinking about the books mentioned by Du Ruo, and after a while, he said to himself: "Some time ago, Yunshui Embroidery Village recruited embroidery girls, many people came to me to buy books, and they also asked you about these, about embroidery." ”
"Zongheng Study is not far from Yunshui Embroidery Village, hasn't the boss thought of buying some such books to sell? For example, teach people to embroider and teach people to cut and draw. Du Ruo asked.
The boss patted his head, shook his head and said, "I really didn't think about this, there are not many books of this kind on the market, and few people compile such books." The embroidery work is taught by the mother and daughter, from generation to generation, and the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law do needlework in a room. ”
Speaking of this, the owner of the study couldn't help but laugh, thinking that it was fun.
Du Ruo also laughed, glanced at the bookshelf a few times, and said: "The boss is right, but for example, in a place like Yunshui Embroidery Village, there is a place like Meng embroidery, there are various types of stitches, and the embroidery girls recruited have passed the screening, and they have to be specially taught to meet the requirements. ”
The boss walked around with his hands behind his back, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "You're right!" ”
Du Ruo continued: "In this case, I wonder if the boss is interested in cooperating with me?" ”
"Cooperate with what?" Confused, he looked at the young woman in front of him again.
Du Ruo walked out from behind the bookshelf and said with a smile: "I am an embroidery girl working in Yunshui Embroidery Village, and I am planning to compile such books." I have seen several bookstores on this street, and I feel that the vertical and horizontal study has a complete range of books, the shop is large, and the boss looks kind and kind, so I have the intention of cooperating with you. ”
The owner of the study looked at her suspiciously, walked two steps with a big belly, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to her: "This lady sits down first!" ”
Du Ruo thanked him and sat down, and hit the railway while it was hot: "I know how to read and write, as for painting, I am not satisfied with you, I have also practiced with famous teachers, and I do these out of interest, and I also want to make some money from it!" ”
She took out a piece of paper from her cuff and unfolded it, and on it was a rich and exquisite garment, the cuffs, neckline, and belt of the shirt were very elegant and delicate, which she had scrapped when she was painting in the village.
In order to make the painting more realistic and detailed, she recently read books and learned from the experience of others to practice new techniques.
The boss of the study saw that her eyes had changed, he was also a pragmatic person, and the little lady sitting next to her talked clearly and clearly, and her eyes were clear and indifferent, so she would not think that she was here to make trouble or play tricks on people, but she was surprised by her boldness.
"What's the cooperation?" The boss asked.
"I am responsible for the collection and compilation of materials, and then I am responsible for finding someone to proofread it, and the boss is responsible for finding a workshop to engrave and print the books, and sell them in the study, and we will make a profit of fifty or five cents on the books sold. Of course, I also contribute when it comes to selling books. Still don't know the boss's surname? Du Ruo arched his hand at him.
The owner of the study smiled, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, and said: "The surname is Huang, the little lady said it very clearly, but I don't know anything about this female worker, I don't know what to do, in case all the books are smashed into my hands, then wouldn't I lose a lot?" ”
"As long as you hook up with Yunshui Embroidery Village, you have to sell dozens of copies, right?" Du Ruo thought for a while.
She also knows that it is not easy to sell books, and besides, with such books, how many country women are literate? If it is sold upwards, it is not impossible to sell it to those rich wives who have studied and studied.
Boss Huang nodded and shook his head: "The Meng's embroidery method is not allowed to be passed on, and I am afraid that it will be a lawsuit if it is all moved to the book!" ”
"There are a lot of stitches, and there are many embroidery paintings, we don't write Meng embroidery, just sell books under the gimmick of embroidery, and advertise it widely!" Du Ruo said.
"You make me think about it...... Although I am next to the embroidery village near the water, I need to pay the silver first to engrave the book, and I can't easily promise you. Boss Huang pondered cautiously.
Du Ruo stood up and arched his hand again: "Okay, but I may not wait for you for too long, I will go into the city again in a few days to ask, bother!" She headed outside.
On the way back, she counted how much silver she had in her hand now, and estimated that it was about eight or nine taels.
If Boss Huang really agreed, she was probably a little nervous at hand, and she didn't know how much salary Xiuzhuang would pay this month.
When she returned to the village and was about to walk home, she saw two people standing at the door of Song's house, and when she looked closely, it was Song Ju'an and Su Huiniang.
Hui Niang was wearing a light cyan skirt, with a tender yellow tie around her waist, and a few golden bells on the tie, she was carrying a small basket in her hand, and she was talking to Song Ju'an with a smile on her face.
Song Ju'an's posture was like an upright bamboo, his face was very soft, and he nodded and spoke to Su Huiniang with a smile.
A few words immediately popped out of Du Ruo's heart: A pair of beautiful people!
She touched her chin and remembered what Cai's and Mrs. Wang said: If there was no Du Rulan, Hui Niang would have married Song Ju'an as his wife! The kids have it! It's a pity that the two of them are a match made in heaven!
She pursed her lips and was about to walk forward, but saw Du Ercheng running over happily from the other side, standing between Su Huiniang and Song Ju'an, saying something with a smile, and taking the basket from Huiniang's hand diligently.
Du Ercheng's heartfelt happiness could even be felt by Du Ruo, who was standing not far away. However, his sudden appearance seemed to startle Hui Niang.
Du Ruo walked up to them and said with a smile: "Hui Niang is here?" Why don't you go into the house? ”
Hui Niang hurriedly turned to look at her, and said in a gentle voice: "The sister-in-law of the Song family is back?" I, the jujube trees planted by our family, there are many trees this year, my mother said that Mr. Song taught Mingyang hard, let me send some dates over! ”
Du Ercheng grabbed a green jujube from the basket and threw it into his mouth, it was really sweet, just as sweet as he was in his heart now!
"Then it should be Su Mingyang to send it, why do you call Miss Su to come?" Du Ercheng asked while eating, but he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Su came to deliver this date in person, it will be even sweeter!" ”
