Allure was born
We can live well, like all men.
Every day is a sunny day.
An Ning: "No, let's call it Qingguang in Allure." ”
Ruan Tingcheng: "Okay! That's a good name! ”
So far, Allure Qingguang Embroidery Workshop was born in the most prosperous city of Daye.
Almost at the moment of birth, the Allure Qingguang Embroidery Workshop became famous.
Because it posted a notice to recruit embroidery girls, Qingguang is located in the most prosperous area of Daye, but it is not the best embroidery girl in Daye, but a series of people who are poor, widows, beggars, orphans, etc.
Everyone speculated about who the owner of the Qingguang embroidery workshop in Allure City was, and it was not until An Ning and Ruan Chengcheng appeared on the first day that Qingguang opened the door, and they suddenly realized.
If it was someone else, they would only think that the owner of the embroidery workshop was crazy, and they would not recruit so many good embroiderers in Daye, but would recruit some people who could not be on the stage.
But this person is peaceful, the Star Academy has opened, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to open a different embroidery workshop.
An Ning introduced to everyone: The owner of this embroidery workshop is Ruan Tingcheng, not her. The embroidery girl recruited was also Ruan Tingcheng's idea, and it had nothing to do with her, she just invested some money, but the big head was Ruan Tingcheng's own.
Everyone looked at the woman beside An Ning again, as elegant as a chrysanthemum, and her temperament was like a fairy.
This is the famous county lord of Allure who redressed his father's grievances.
Suddenly, the name Ruan Chengcheng quickly resounded among the people.
No wonder the embroidery workshop has the word Allure, which was originally opened by the lord of Allure County.
The four words of Qingguang in Allure are the plaques embroidered by Ruan Chengcheng himself.
The first person in Kyoto to use embroidery as a plaque, which shows the skill of the master.
Many well-known embroiderers came to visit, but unfortunately they were rejected.
In the afternoon, a dull and worn-haired woman dressed in a coarse linen dress and washed shoes.
She stood a little cramped in the doorway.
An Ning and Ruan Tingcheng were chatting in the embroidery workshop.
As soon as they saw the woman coming, the two of them immediately got up.
Ruan Tingcheng: "Auntie, please come in." ”
The woman tried to salute, but was stopped.
"In the embroidery workshop, there is no county lord."
An Ning poured her a cup of tea, she looked very cramped, and there was still some fear between her eyebrows.
"Auntie is here to apply?"
The woman nodded.
"Folk women... The women heard that you recruit embroidery girls, and only recruit poor people, women... My husband has passed away, and I have a mother-in-law and a daughter under the age of 14 to support. Folk women··· The embroidery of the folk women is not very good. ”
Her face was flushed, and her embroidery was actually okay, but compared to the plaque hanging at the door by the county lord of Allure, it looked very bad.
"This morning, the women saw that many famous embroiderers in Kyoto came to apply, but the two young ladies didn't take a fancy to them... Folk women··· The women are just here to try, if it doesn't work..."
She was about to turn and leave.
Ruan Tingcheng called her softly and said, "When will the eldest mother come to work?" ”
The woman was stunned when she heard Ruan Tingcheng's words.
"Wh... What? ”
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and then she suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, two young ladies, thank you, two young ladies." ”
An Ning and Ruan Chengcheng immediately stopped her, "Hurry up." ”
She kept her head down, still a little overwhelmed. She thought that she wouldn't get any results from coming this time, but she turned out to... They were going to use her, and it was great, it was great, it was so good, her daughter was saved.
The gratitude in her eyes overflowed, and her mouth kept muttering words of thanks.
Ruan Tingcheng: "My aunt hasn't replied to me yet, when can I come to work?" ”
Almost without hesitation, the woman said, "Now! ”
An Ning and Ruan Chengcheng looked at each other and smiled.
"If you need help now, just ask."
Just now, the two of them observed, this woman, dressed shabbyly, clothes and shoes have been worn for many years, there are thick calluses on her hands, and some scars left by frostbite born in winter, which seem to be so serious caused by washing clothes for other people's houses in the winter.
She had a twig on her head, and there were traces of ink on one side of her dress, and they saw it despite her best efforts to hide it.
That kind of ink, An Ning can see it at a glance.
This is a very expensive ink in Daye, bamboo green ink, it is different from other ordinary ink, ordinary ink, when it falls on the clothes, it will immediately become a large piece, and bamboo green ink will not, it can't be cleaned, and it won't spread.
A family like the eldest lady can't afford this kind of ink at all.
The woman looked up almost immediately, looked at the two in disbelief, and then tried to kneel again, bewildered.
Ruan Chengcheng had the foresight to stop her.
"Auntie said bluntly, we will help."
The woman's tears suddenly couldn't be contained, "I... Folk women··· A few years ago, my mother-in-law was seriously ill, my husband borrowed five taels of silver outside in order to treat her, in order to repay the money, my husband could only go up the mountain every day to collect medicine... Unfortunately, it rained heavily that day... He came down from the bottom of the hill... Slipped down. ”
The woman continued while crying: "The women of the people... After the death of the husband, the burden of the family fell on the woman alone, I want to raise a daughter, but also to be filial to the mother-in-law, but also to repay the debt, for this the woman went to the big family to wash their clothes, I thought that the days will be better slowly, who knows... Who knows, the family who borrowed the money is not compliant, they want my daughter to pay off the debt, and they want to forcibly take my daughter as a concubine, next month... If I don't pay it back next month... My daughter... She's still so young..."
Ruan Qingcheng showed a sympathetic look in his eyes.
Although she is not from a wealthy background, but since she was a child, she can be regarded as a thorn in the flesh of her parents' hands, she has never encountered such a thing, and she has rarely seen and heard, at this moment she heard what happened to the woman, and felt extremely sad.
"Don't worry, auntie."
She looked at An Ning, who nodded, took out a silver ticket from her purse and handed it to the woman.
The woman was astonished when she saw the amount of the silver bill.
One hundred taels of silver...
She had never seen so much money in her life.
"No... Women can't want it... That's too much. ”
Ruan Chengcheng took the silver ticket, "The monthly money of Allure Qingguang is one tael of silver a month, and five taels of silver is five months' wages, even if it is advanced to you in advance, I will advance you for six months' wages first?" ”
The woman froze.
Under her gaze, she saw Ruan Chengcheng go to a drawer and take out six taels of silver, and then returned one hundred taels to An Ning.
She said helplessly: "A-Ning, this is your smallest silver ticket." ”
