"And what's your name?"

"My name is Du Ruo."

Ah Ying and Bao Die stopped talking, and carefully looked at the embroidery patterns on the clothes.

After a long while, the two of them still bowed their heads and did their own things, and no one said a word. Du Ruo looked around and found that the female workers were more serious than one by one, turning over and over, for fear that they would not find the slightest problem.

Du Ruo retracted his gaze and saw Baodie put a light yarn embroidery on the other side, and hurriedly asked, "What is wrong with this yarn dress?" If you flip it a little, you can see that my eyes are too clumsy. ”

Seeing that she humbly asked for advice, Bao Die reached out and took the yarn clothes again, and pointed to the back of the clothes to Du Ruo: "This embroidery girl is lazy, the lotus lotus color is a few stitches away from finishing here, the embroidery thread is almost gone, but she does not continue the thread, but the rest of the thread can not be worn to the back, she has to tie a knot in front of it, hidden in the apricot yellow stamen." ”

Du Ruo nodded, "I see." "But in my heart, I was speechless, this wife is too strict, right?

This garment is worn by the gods......

"Study carefully! Otherwise, if you make a mistake in the future and be caught by Aunt Zheng, you will have to deduct a month's salary! Ah Ying said in a serious tone.

Du Ruo responded.

After standing for a while, her legs and feet were sore, so she had to stand on one foot from time to time, and the other leg and foot swayed a few times.

"Where is the hut? I want to go to the hut. Du Ruo asked respectfully as he bent down.

"Go out and go straight from here, go to the front and see a rockery and turn right, and then go all the way to it!" Bao Die didn't raise his head.

Du Ruo thanked him and hurriedly walked outside. When she got to the garden outside, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, it was too tiring! She didn't want to go to the hut, she just wanted to come out and catch her breath.

The environment of this embroidery village is good, but if you work hard, you don't have the heart to enjoy the scenery.

She walked around for a moment, then walked back again, and after a long time they were bound to speak.

When Du Ruo walked into the Shangong Building, he saw a male servant standing next to Ah Ying and Bao Die, and the three of them were talking, seeing her come back, Bao Die hurriedly smiled and waved at her cordially, "Du Ruo, Meng Ye sent someone to let you go over." ”

"May I ask what Meng Ye is looking for me?"

"Meng Ye didn't say, you can come with me!" That's humane.

Du Ruo nodded.

As soon as she left, the smiles on Ah Ying and Bao Die's faces faded, and Ah Ying doubted: "Meng Ye assigned her a good job, and now he calls her over, what is her relationship with the Meng family?" Poor relatives? ”

"Who knows! But let's not offend her, people can see Meng Ye! Bao Die pouted.

Yunshui embroidery Zhuang is outrageous, rockery flower garden flowing water corridor, unique structure, quiet and natural. Pavilions and pavilions stand in a forest, seducing and fighting angles, carving beams and embroidering households on all sides.

Du Ruo followed the manservant forward, looked left and right along the road, and said in his heart, knowing that the Meng family was a businessman and a wealthy man, but he never thought that he would be so rich. It is said that the Meng family of this embroidery village has been operating for many years, and has dealt with merchants all over the country to supply, and the family has gradually become solid.

When the embroidery village passed to Meng Yuanzhou, he was quite good at management, and the embroidery village developed and grew, so he moved the Zhuangzi out of the city and sat here. Later, the Meng family set up other shops, and they were all prosperous, and people couldn't estimate how rich the Meng family was.

After walking for most of the day, she crossed a stone bridge with the manservant, and when she arrived at the small building built by the water, the manservant took her to stop at the door of the room and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" It's humane inside.

The manservant pushed the door open and led her in, the room was resplendent in gold and luxury, everything that caught the eye seemed to be of great value, and on the left side of the bogu shelf were placed all kinds of antiques and famous objects, and a table and a chair were made of precious wood.

"Du Niangzi brought it." The manservant made a gesture.

Du Ruo saw Meng Yuanzhou sitting on a chair in the room, holding a jade pendant with his hand, holding a jade pendant in the other hand, his eyes fell fixedly on the jade pendant, and when he saw her coming, he straightened up and put down his hand, pointed to the stool on the other side, and motioned for her to sit down.

Du Ruo saluted him, and after sitting down, the manservant closed the door and went out.

"May I ask what Master Meng has to tell me to come here?" Du Ruo asked respectfully.

"I want you to paint me a picture, that day on the street, the one you painted, please re-paint it for me." Meng Yuanzhou said in a deep voice, his voice seemed to be a little tired, and his expression was also a little sad.

Du Ruo was surprised.

She just painted casually that day.

He said that the painting was somewhat similar to his wife, but she had never seen her, and besides, how could she draw it if Shen Yun was one point apart?

"Does Master Meng want me to paint a portrait of Mrs. Zun?" Du Ruo said without humility, "I painted it casually that day, and I can't remember what that painting looks like, and I asked Meng Ye to describe the appearance of my wife for me." ”

Meng Yuanzhou's eyes fell on the jade pendant in his hand again, stunned, and his eyes contained countless sorrows and feelings.

Even Du Ruo, who was sitting on the side, felt the sadness in his heart. It seems that this Meng Ye has a deep affection for his deceased wife, and he is extremely dedicated to his feelings.

has tens of thousands of family fortunes and lives a rich life that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve in their lives, but the person who is still missing in his heart, how many good men can there be in the world? Du Ruo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and when he thought of himself, he was even more emotional.

“…… I've almost forgotten what she looks like......" Meng Yuanzhou rubbed his jade pendant and whispered, with infinite confusion in his tone, "It's been three years since Tang Li died. ”

Du Ruo listened, Tang Li should be his wife.

After being silent for a while, she said without words: "I also have friends and relatives, and I haven't seen them for half a year, and I almost forget what they look like, sometimes I feel that they are still around, but when I think of them, I will never see them again, and my heart is also sad." Even if you have separated, you can't dwell too much on it. ”

"Sometimes I dream of her, and occasionally in my dreams she has a very clear voice and smile, as if she is still alive in this world." Meng Yuanzhou said again.

Du Ruo nodded, "Why don't you try to describe it, and I'll see if I can draw it?" ”

Meng Yuanzhou withdrew from his own mood at this time, looked at her, groaned, and described to her, "There is a ......dimple on the right cheek with spring water in his eyes."

Du Ruo extracted useful information from his words, typed the draft first, and revised it four or five times before he could barely reconcile with him. After coloring, Meng Yuanzhou got up and looked at it, his eyes couldn't take his eyes off anymore, and that kind of sorrow couldn't help but overflow from his eyes, and the hand holding the painting trembled slightly.

"It's a good drawing, let's go down and get the silver!" After a while, Meng Yuanzhou said to her.

Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, most of the busy work was not in vain.

She withdrew from the room, and the sorrow that had been tainted by the wind outside, disappeared in an instant, and became cheerful.

After receiving the reward from the steward, Du Ruoda walked back on the stone bridge, and unintentionally looked down, but found a child squatting at the water's edge, stretching out his arms to pick a water lily.

He bent forward like a small shrimp, Du Ruo glanced around, and no one passed nearby, she hurriedly got off the bridge, quietly walked behind him, grabbed his collar with one hand and lifted him to the shore.

"Little master? Do you want to pick flowers? Du Ruo wondered.

The shoes and socks on both of his feet were wet, and it was too dangerous for a child to be at the water's edge by himself, and no one was watching. If something happened, his father didn't know if he would be able to endure it.

Meng Xiuwen was caught by her and let go, looked up at Du Ruo, patted his little hand that was wet with water, scratched his clothes a few more times, and asked her, "Why are you here?" ”

"Your father asked me to do something."

"What's the matter?"

"Hmm...... Draw a picture. ”

"Draw what?"

Du Ruoxin said, the child was still in infancy, so he had no mother, and his family hid from him and didn't tell him that his mother was dead, so she naturally couldn't tell the truth, so she had to make it up: "Just draw some mountains, clouds, flowers or something." ”

"Oh." He nodded.

"I'll help you pick the flowers." Du Ruo hurriedly said.

She walked to the water's edge and stretched out her hand, easily picked off a few water lilies of different colors, turned around and handed them to him, and said with a smile: "Call someone to help you do this in the future, you know?" It's dangerous to be alone near the water. ”

Meng Xiuwen was not angry or angry, he didn't seem to have the temper of the arrogant young master, he carefully held the water lilies in his two hands, and said to her with a smile: "I want to give this flower to my mother, and my father said that my mother will come back after dark." ”

Du Ruo's throat choked, and the corners of his eyes immediately became a little moist.

She praised: "Your mother will definitely like it, while your mother hasn't come back yet, can you go back to the house first, otherwise she can't find it?" ”

Hearing her words, Meng Xiuwen frowned, and hurriedly ran away with the flowers.

Du Ruo looked at his small back and sighed.

It's not a long-term solution to deceive children day after day, why didn't Meng Yuanzhou continue the string? He will always grow up, how long can he be fooled?

Coming out of Xiuzhuang, Du Ruo saw Seventh Brother's carriage parked not far away, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting.

She walked up to her with a smile and said, "Brother Seven, how long have you been here?" ”

The seventh brother hurriedly hunched over and jumped down with a whip, and pulled the curtain for her again, "I'll only be here for a while!" ”

Du Ruo got into the carriage and said to him: "You don't have to come so early next time, I'm not in a hurry, I can do it later, I don't know if letting you pick it up will delay your business." ”

"It's okay! All right! To be honest, there haven't been a lot of people riding in my carriage lately! The seventh brother replied to her loudly while driving.

"It's not because of my relationship, is it?" Du Ruo asked very sensitively.

"It's not! Recently, no one in the village has gone out, just Du Niangzi, you go out diligently! ”

Du Ruo smiled, "If others ask about me, you can tell the truth, if you don't ask, don't mention to anyone what I did when I went out." Du Ruo instructed him, "I have a bad reputation, and others always talk about it, and you know it." ”

The seventh brother nodded, and said angrily: "Those people chew the root of their tongues!" I don't think you're that kind of person! People are terrible, don't take Du Niangzi to heart! ”

Through his dealings with Du Rulan these days, he realized that the mother-in-law of the old Song family who was laughed at was not what everyone said at all, and he looked down on her one by one! Although he had also misunderstood her before.

Back in the village, Du Ruo's heart was light, there was still half a month before the next time he went to the embroidery village, so he could take this opportunity to ask Zhou Ning's mother-in-law for advice and remember some necessary things as soon as possible.

There were a few people in the village sitting under the tree in front, there were men and women, gossiping after tea and dinner, passing the time, and seeing Du Ruo coming from a distance, his voice immediately lowered, and he looked at Du Ruo from time to time.

Du Ruo knew that many people in the village did not want to see her, especially women, and she rarely greeted people, and only greeted people if she met a good person.

But now they reflect a little differently, she hit them, if not talking about her, then what is there to avoid her?
