113 Embroidery
"Zhuangzi?" Song Jiayi frowned, although Lu Xiaobai was far away from Fuyu Mountain, but the British Mansion was like this, what was she doing when she went to Zhuangzi at this time?
"Mrs. Xiao Shizi purchased a large cart of cloth and gadgets, brought them to Zhuangzi, and also brought four Yangzhou thin horses sent by the British Duchess."
Hearing Yangzhou Skinny Horse, Song Jiayi "tsk", and her eyes mocked: "It turned out that she took the opportunity to solve the big problem of her henchmen, hum, she is still a new woman in the new era, and she can't even deal with a few Yangzhou skinny horses, it's a shame!" ”
His subordinates couldn't understand what he said, but they felt that the tone and demeanor of his speech were extremely subtle, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
"Okay, don't worry about her, send someone to keep an eye on Xiao Lang and Song Yuanyi, that idiot, don't make a mistake."
"Yes!"
Lu Xiaobai didn't know that Xiao Lang was sulking because she didn't go home, she slept beautifully, and went to Majia Village at the foot of Fuyu Mountain in a carriage early the next morning.
Yesterday she asked Zhuang Tou to inquire about all kinds of craftsmen, and later Zhuang Tou's wife gave her a clue. There is an embroidery girl named Tuesday Niang in Majia Village, who not only embroiders on both sides, but also embroiders on three sides, and was once famous.
"She was young at that time, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was good at double-sided embroidery, and she could also embroider on both sides and three different ways. It is said that she 'embroidered peanuts fragrant, embroidered birds can listen to sounds, embroidered tigers can run, embroidered people can convey the spirit', it is said that she can sell a hundred taels of silver with an ordinary double-sided embroidery, and double-sided three-sided embroidery is even more difficult to find. ”
At that time, she was still the embroidery lady of the Tianyi Embroidery Workshop, and I heard that the owner of the Tianyi Embroidery Workshop was interested in hiring her as a daughter-in-law, just because of her skillful hands. But Mu Xiu is in the forest, and he will be jealous, and soon he will be calculated, hurt his hand, and can no longer hold the embroidery needle. The marriage with the Shaodong family was also blown, and she took the compensation and went home, and married to Majia Village the next year. ”
The slave maid thought, although her hands were useless and she couldn't hold a needle, but after all, she used to be an embroiderer, even if she couldn't do it, she could point out a thing or two with her mouth, right? Invite an ordinary embroiderer, and if the two of them cooperate, maybe they can really teach an excellent disciple! ”
Zhuangtou's wife's surname is Liu, and she blew in front of Lu Xiaobai yesterday, and she was a little apprehensive when she set off today. After a while, he came to Lu Xiaobai, and hesitated: "Young lady, Tuesday Niang is now married and has children, and I heard that the person who married is not very good, and now I don't know if I want to ...... or not."
Mrs. Liu felt that Zhou Niang would definitely be willing, but it was hard to say whether she could teach it, after all, her hands were wasted and she couldn't hold the needle.
"Whether it succeeds or not, we have to go and see." Lu Xiaobai didn't care, "What's more, I didn't make a special trip for her, I just looked around, and I just played it." ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's heart was a little calmer, she hurriedly followed the car and instructed the coachman: "Majia Village is at the foot of Fuyu Mountain, I know the road, and I will show you the way when the time comes." ”
Two hours later, Lu Xiaobai's carriage drove into Majia Village.
Mrs. Liu only knew that the embroidery girl's name was Tuesday Niang, and she married in Majia Village, but she didn't know where her family lived. She wanted to inquire after entering the village, but she didn't want this village to be small, but there was no one on the road.
"It's strange, this is not the busy season of farming, where have all the people gone?" Even if you are busy with farming, you can also see people in the fields, but this village is strange.
Isn't something wrong?
Mrs. Liu was a little drumming in her heart.
Lu Xiaobai released his spiritual power and found that everyone was gathered in one place, it looked like a meeting, and he might be deciding something important.
"Knock on the door and ask." She pointed to one of the houses and said that she sensed that there were people in the house with her mental power, and she should have been too old to go.
Mrs. Liu was stunned, but she didn't show it, and after knocking on the courtyard door, what came out was an elderly old man, with gray hair, a face full of wind and frost, and staggering.
"Be careful, old woman." Mrs. Liu was a little worried when she saw such an old man.
"Out of the way." The old man is old and speaks slowly, but it seems that his ears are still good, "You are not from this village, are you, relatives?" ”
"No, we're asking about individuals." Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "Do you know Zhou Niang, she got married more than ten years ago, let's look for her." ”
Hearing Tuesday Niang, the old man thought for a while, and his brows subconsciously wrinkled: "What are you looking for her for!" ”
"Collect debts!" Lu Xiaobai hurriedly replied, "She owed us a lot of money before, and she only found an IOU a while ago, and she came to ask for a debt today." ”
Mrs. Liu didn't know why Lu Xiaobai said this, she was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted, and her face became fierce: "Yes, we are here to collect debts, old man, you tell us where she lives, and we will pay you when you catch the debt." ”
"Debt collection? Then don't think about it, her family is so poor, her man divorced his wife today, and after today, she will not be from our Majia Village, you want to be in debt, don't make trouble in our village, there is no reason for this. ”
Mrs. Liu didn't expect that Tuesday Niang would be suspended, and for a while she was a little suspicious that the Tuesday Niang in the old man's mouth was the same person as Tuesday Niang, who was famous for one-handed and double-sided heterochromatic embroidery.
I'm afraid it's just the same name, right?
"Yes or no, we'll know when we meet, and please tell us where she is at the moment."
In fact, Lu Xiaobai knew the location, but in order not to expose it, he still chose to ask the old man.
"She, now in the ancestral hall, you follow this road and go to a crowded place."
According to what the old man said, Lu Xiaobai and his entourage went all the way, and it didn't take long to see the ancestral hall of the Ma family. At this time, the ancestral hall was full of people, and you could hear the hustle and bustle inside when you stood outside.
"Ma'am, are you going in now?"
"Ask someone about it." Lu Xiaobai stepped forward and patted an aunt in her early forties, and asked her if she knew Zhou Niang.
"Yo, where did this noble man come from?" When the aunt saw that she was wearing gold and silver, and the silk on her body was a good material that she had never seen before, she immediately stared at her.
"My master asks you!" Mrs. Liu couldn't see her appearance of never seeing the world, and she was very displeased.
The aunt smiled, hurriedly apologized, and asked, "I don't know which Tuesday Niang Madam is asking?" This week is a big surname, four of the ten families called Erniang, and there are really a lot of Tuesday Niang. ”
"The Tuesday Niang who was in the Tianyi Embroidery Workshop back then."
"You ask her! She is in our village, I wonder what is the matter with Madame looking for her? The aunt's eyes rolled slightly, the ancestral hall was quiet, and the voice of the patriarch was faintly heard, and after a while, the boss of the Ma family was about to press his handprint on the letter of resignation, and the lady in front of him looked very rich, if it was...... You can also go on and on!
Boss Ma wants to give his son, and his mother can't give birth on Tuesday, but if she has anything to do with this lady, she can keep it. As for the son, if he has all the money, can't he buy a concubine to give birth to?
