In this ancient period, the girl who learned embroidery, in the future, is to marry into the in-law's family, will also be valued, after all, this embroidery is a craft, in the future is no money to spend, you can also rely on embroidery to subsidize the family.

Here, even some of the ladies will also learn embroidery, Liu Man'er will not think that women learn embroidery because they have a modern soul, in fact, she thinks that embroidery is also a way for ancient women to relax and entertain.

Embroider your thoughts and feelings on your purse or silk handkerchief, and the threads are entangled with meditations that you can't tell.

It's good, just like modern people write diaries, ancient women embroidered some silk handkerchiefs, and they also hid their thoughts.

Hearing Liu Man'er say that she wanted them to learn embroidery, Ye He and Cao'er's eyes lit up, and Liu Man'er laughed and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the door of the store to post a notice and ask an embroiderer to teach you." ”

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Ye He never thought that he would have the opportunity to learn embroidery, which I heard was only available to some young ladies in the city.

"Okay, you can learn this archery if you want, anyway, there is no harm in learning it, like there are many women in our family now, learn some kung fu, but you are not afraid of being bullied by others." Liu Man'er said.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I have to learn." Ye He said: "In the future, I will get up early in the morning to practice archery, work in the morning, learn embroidery in the afternoon, and read and write in the evening." ”

"Not bad." Liu Man'er was also quite satisfied when she heard it, "You are a planned child, sister-in-law is very relieved, in the future, if your sister-in-law is not at home, the family will depend on you to take care of it." ”

"Don't worry, sister-in-law."

Ye He has had a sense of housekeeping since she was a child, at least she is a little stronger than the Fang family, the Fang family is too good, and she never cares. Ye He may have seen these in his eyes, he has been more mature than his peers since he was a child, and he is quite well-organized.

At night, Liu Man'er set up a few targets in the backyard for them to learn archery, Fang Shi shook his head when he saw it, anyway, she just thought they were playing the game of children's house, and she didn't care, anyway, the house was wide, let them play.

Man'er is right, working at home or reading every day, they are also a little stupid, it's good to have fun.

Liu Man'er is a person of action, she said that she wanted to ask someone to teach Ye He and the two embroidery, and the next day, after opening the shop, she really wrote a notice and posted it at the door.

However, this embroidery girl is not as easy to find as the aunt who does chores, that is, some embroidery girls, people are the same as Liu Man'er, self-cherished, and unwilling to pass on the craft of embroidery to others, so Liu Man'er can only wait for the destined person.

In order not to disappoint Ye He and Cao'er, Liu Man'er decided to buy some embroidery sheds and colored silk threads for embroidery, and if there is an embroidery girl, they can learn.

After closing the shop that day, Liu Man'er came to a shop specializing in selling these gadgets, and the shopkeeper was also a woman, who was quite kind, and when she saw Liu Man'er coming in, she greeted Liu Man'er warmly.

"What does this guest need?" As soon as the words fell, she saw the handsome man behind Liu Man'er, and said, "Oh, this must be the shopkeeper Ye, right?" ”

"It's the concubine, I don't know what the shopkeeper is called?" Liu Man'er saw that the female shopkeeper recognized herself, and she also bowed.

The shopkeeper bowed down to Liu Man'er at the same time, and said: "The concubine's husband's family is Zhong, her mother's surname is Wang, and others call me Zhong Wang's family. ”

"Shopkeeper Zhong is polite, the concubine is the one who envy Shopkeeper Zhong, taking care of such a big female red shop by himself, it must be a skill." Liu Man'er said with a smile.

"Where, where, Ye shopkeeper praises." Zhong Wang also shook his head with a smile, his face was slightly red.

Probably the same women, they knew each other's difficulties in running their own shops, Liu Man'er and this Zhong Wang praised each other, and the relationship between the two instantly became much closer.

Only then did Zhong Wang ask about the purpose of Liu Man'er's visit: "What does my sister want to see when she came here today?" ”

"The main thing is to buy some embroidery sheds and silk threads." Liu Man'er told the Zhong Wang family the purpose of her coming here.

"Ah, I didn't expect my sister to not only have good cooking skills, but also a good female worker." Zhong Wang praised again.

Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "I'm ashamed to say that the concubine is not good at female celebrities, and now I buy these things back, just to let my sister-in-law learn, so I also ask my sister to recommend some tools suitable for beginners." ”

"Don't worry about this." Hearing Liu Man'er say this, Zhong Wang walked behind the counter and pulled a bunch of things out for Liu Man'er.

"This is embroidery, beginners can use this kind of hand bandage first, needlework is a must, our embroidery needle is different from the needle for sewing clothes on weekdays."

This Zhong Wang said and took out a box of needles, Liu Man'er looked at it, it was indeed different, this needle was really thin.

"This is a wool needle, very fine." Zhong Wang took out one and showed it to Liu Man'er and said: "The finer the embroidery, the longer it takes, and the thinner the embroidery needle will be, so our embroidery women must maintain a pair of smooth hands to be able to embroider perfect flowers......"

This Zhong Wang said and showed her hands to Liu Man'er, which were indeed green with ten fingers, as smooth as jade.

Liu Man'er was embarrassed to stretch out her hand, although she also used some ancient skin care products to do a good job of skin care during this time, but after all, she was very busy every day, and her hand was either holding a knife or doing other things, so compared to Zhong Wang, who looked in her thirties, Liu Man'er's hands were rougher than her.

After Zhong Wang showed his hand, he took Liu Man'er's hand again, looked at it, shook his head, and said: "It's not my sister I said you, just your hands, at most, you can only embroider some poor embroidery, like that kind of high-grade silk, your hand will be scratched to the touch." ”

"yes, yes." Liu Man'er withdrew her hand and said a little stupidly: "It's not that I learn, or I want my sister-in-law to learn it, and the requirements are not high, and I don't expect them to become well-known embroiderers, but I just learned it, and it can be regarded as a craft." ”

"Oh......" Zhong Wang nodded, and said: "Since it is for your sister-in-law, you have to buy an embroidery frame, and when you learn to embroider a small one first, you can embroider a large sample on the embroidery frame, and the girl's family learns quickly." ”

"Okay." Liu Man'er doesn't understand this embroidery anyway, so what Zhong Wang's family says is what, she just pays for what she wants, anyway, when she walks to this store today, she falls into a pit again.

"This shelf is also divided into several different woods, I don't know which one the shopkeeper Ye wants?" Zhong Wang asked again.

"A little more ordinary would be fine." Liu Man'er hurriedly said.

"It's a little more ordinary." Zhong Wang nodded, and while picking and choosing among those embroidery frames, he said: "This embroidery frame is something that accompanies a woman's life, even if your girl gets married in the future, she can be used as a face-saving dowry to marry to her husband's family." ”

"That's true, but most of my money was given to my mother-in-law, and now I only have two taels of silver on me." Liu Man'er said, "And I have two people in my family who want to learn embroidery." ”

"Oh......" Zhong Wang nodded again, and said: "Alas, we women, we seem to be beautiful outside, but in fact, we don't even have any silver in our hands, so it's difficult." ”

As she spoke, she picked out two embroidery frames for Liu Man'er, and then put away a box of wool needles, replaced them with a box of ordinary needles, and collected the gold threads that were taken out before, replaced them with some ordinary silk threads, and also collected the hand bandages with gold edges, replaced them with two ordinary wooden hand bandages, and then crackled on the abacus to settle the accounts, and said:

"Sister, the ones you choose are all practical and affordable, just two taels of silver."

Saying that, she crackled in front of Liu Man'er and forgot about it, and then showed Liu Man'er.

God knows, Liu Man'er doesn't know how to read abacus at all, when she was in elementary school in her previous life, although she seemed to have learned abacus, she had long forgotten it, just the little thing she sold, just do mental arithmetic.

So Liu Man'er stretched out her hand, pushed the abacus, and said, "Hey, that's it, am I still afraid that my sister will not be able to deceive me, and if you say this, that's all." ”

As she spoke, she pulled out the money.

"I'll have this delivered to your shop?" Zhong Wang asked.

"Okay." Liu Man'er nodded, but muttered straight in her heart, I didn't expect that this embroidery was also a money-burning thing, so I bought such a thing, and it cost so much money, two taels of silver, two years of tuition for an ordinary student, and a year for an ordinary family.

Fortunately, she now sells ice drinks business is very good, because it is the only one, the price she sells is also quite high, just a popsicle costs five cents, juice and fruit salad are ten cents a bowl, as for this ice cream is twenty cents, plus the original roast duck braised duck chicken rice and so on to earn money, there are about ten taels a day.

"By the way, did you invite an embroiderer girl at your sister's house?" This Zhong Wang asked again.

"Nope." Liu Man'er originally thought that this Zhong Wang's business was quite shrewd and didn't want to tell her this, but thinking that she had not found a suitable person during this time, she still shook her head honestly, "If there is a suitable one, please ask Shopkeeper Zhong to help introduce one." ”

"Hey, that's a coincidence." When Zhong Wang heard Liu Man'er say this, he immediately laughed and said, "Fate, my sister-in-law happens to be at home, why don't you let her go to your house and hand over these children to embroider?" ”

"That's a little bit unusual, is it?" Liu Man'er hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Wang's family asked the guy to help deliver the things to Liu Man'er's shop, and said: "Sister, I'm also telling you the truth, my sister-in-law, she was divorced by her husband's family, and if her mother's family is not the same today, after all, she is a married daughter." ”

When Liu Man'er heard this, she faintly understood that this Zhong Wang family must be dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, and she was dissatisfied with her sister-in-law in her house.

"But don't worry, my sister-in-law's embroidery work is still okay, although it is not as good as mine, but it is more than enough to teach those two sisters-in-law of your family." Zhong Wang said heartily.
