Chapter 26: The Twenty-Sixth Day of Becoming an Old Lady

The old lady was curious about Jiang's embroidery skills, and followed her back to her room after eating. Looking at the exquisite embroidery in front of her, the more the old lady looked at it, the more she loved it, and she couldn't put it down.

Jiang said that her craftsmanship is not as good as the outside, but in the eyes of the old lady, her craftsmanship can be called a master. This embroidery, this bamboo, this thousands of miles of clouds, is simply vivid, and there is no flaw when you look closely.

Could it be that the embroidery craftsmanship of this era is very exquisite, and the craftsmanship like Jiang's is not ordinary?

No, it's not.

The old lady stared at Jiang and looked up and down.

Beautiful appearance, superb craftsmanship, and ...... temperament It's also gentle.

These points, no matter what point, will not make her become the daughter-in-law of the village husband.

It's not that the old lady doesn't look down on her son, it's actually Jiang's craftsmanship here. Even if she went to the city to open an embroidery workshop herself, it would be better than marrying a farmer who was digging in the soil.

The old lady didn't know much about her, but remembered that Jiang had fled the famine and was alone. Hu Laosi gave her a bowl of water to drink, but she begged for a cheap daughter-in-law without spending a penny as a bride price.

Now it seems that Jiang's "escape from famine" is afraid that there is also water.

Jiang pulled the hem of his clothes, his fingers pinched together, and he was terribly flustered.

Although the old lady is just a country woman, Jiang has an indescribable cowardice in the face of the old lady these days. The secret she's been hiding for thirteen years isn't going to be discovered, right?

The old lady's serious face suddenly stretched, she smiled at Jiang Shi, and made a kind gesture:

"This embroidery is really good, my mother didn't know you had such craftsmanship."

The tricks that she couldn't put aside were put aside at will, and the old lady's gaze at Jiang was also loving.

"It's just embroidery." Jiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was thinking too much, and the old lady didn't find the problem.

The pattern that was casually put aside was taken back into the old lady's hand, and Jiang's heart was also raised high. But she didn't want to be like she thought, the old lady looked at it again and again, couldn't hide her love, and suddenly said:

"It's so beautiful, can you embroider a pattern on my mother's clothes?"

Jiang: ......

"Yes, of course." The flattered Jiang was excited, this was the first time the old lady asked her to help, and she would definitely do it well.

Since the Jiang family has embroidery skills, and the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, the old lady put Hu Yan'er and Hu Yue'er in her house, so that she has nothing to teach more.

If it weren't for the old lady's rough fingers, she really couldn't hold the embroidery needle, and her old man would want to steal a teacher.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and the old lady rummaged through the cabinets to find a bunch of flower cloth styles from Mrs. Hu's collection, and even turned out two sets of embroidery tools. Don't look at Mrs. Hu, she can't hold an embroidery needle, but she has an embroidery heart.

The old lady didn't need these things, so she simply gave them to Jiang, in exchange for Jiang's gratitude and vows to teach well.

……

Hu Laosi followed the old lady's advice and found someone to ask about the apprentice. On this day, he came back happily and told the old lady:

"Mother, Second Brother Ming said that the master of 'Lu Banxing' in the city is looking for a successor, and asked me if I want to go, he can recommend it on my behalf."

"Lubanxing" is a carpenter shop specializing in working for the official family, all over the Song Dynasty, where the master is absolutely exquisite. In this era of "church disciples starving to death of masters", "passing on people" is the goal of every apprentice.

Hu Laosi showed a rare smile on his face, and his emotions were exposed like a weak-crowned teenager. In fact, even if he is old, he is just about to stand. If this age is changed to modern times, there are also those who are not married. But Hu Laosi has to shoulder the responsibility of the family and bear the pain of "childless".

The old lady nodded, with a kind face, and asked:

"Do you want to go?"

"I'm ......" Hu Laosi paused, he was burdened with many responsibilities, but the opportunity was fleeting. He gritted his teeth and nodded:

"I want to go!"

He loves carpentry, and every time he does carpentry, his whole body and mind are released. He doesn't have to care if he is childless, let alone the oppression of his eldest brother, and no one will bother him. Immersed in the world of carpentry, he felt that the world was extraordinarily beautiful.

"Then go ahead." The old lady made up his mind. Learning carpenter well is also a craft, and it is barely worthy of Jiang's.

Hu Laosi hesitated:

"But I have to leave ...... home"

"Without you, this family can't live?"

The old lady glared, and Hu Laosi also trembled.

"Mother, I'm not ......" He couldn't say why, and his anxious heart was there.

Seeing that Hu Laosi is also honest, the old lady softened her voice:

"There is no need to worry at home, your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law, I will help you watch it, there is nothing missing."

As far as Jiang and Hu Yueer's temperament is concerned, it will be like that in a few years.

The old lady only wants Hu Laosi to learn and succeed now, otherwise, how can she go on the road to making a fortune?

Ay!

Hu Laosi is not worried about this, "If I leave home, what will happen to the work in the field?" ”

It's left for Hu Laosan to support himself, no.

That's it?

The old lady glanced at Boss Hu's room and waved her hand indifferently:

"You have three older brothers above you. Rest assured, no one can escape. The old lady smiled sadly, and even though Hu Lao Si knew that the old lady was not targeting herself, she still couldn't help but shudder.

Hey, the old lady is getting scary!

Since she had decided to go to the city as an apprentice, the old lady asked Hu Laosi to set off earlier. Hu Laosi has to rent a house again, and he has to buy this and that, so he has to be troublesome. If you are picked by the master, it is good, but if you don't choose, you have to find the master again.

On the day Hu Laosi left home, Qin couldn't help but have red circles. Husband and wife have been separated for many years, and they suddenly want to be separated for so long, just thinking about it makes me feel missing.

Hu Laosi didn't feel good either, but he had to go. The long pain is better than the short pain, and as soon as he turned around, he walked quickly.

Before Qin's tears fell, he was dragged by his daughter and niece to ask about the embroidery style, and was entrusted with the embroidery task by the old lady. Busy coming and going, the thoughts of longing have faded a lot.

"Ahh

Boss Hu put on the futon, returned to the bed from the window, rubbed his nose vigorously, sniffed again, and couldn't help but put the quilt on his body again, the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.

The old lady actually took money to give the fourth child an apprentice?

He couldn't understand that the old lady was just trying to please Hu Laosan, why did she want to please Hu Laosi?

The world has changed, the way of the world has changed.

He lay in the house for a few days, and the old lady did not say anything to come and see him. The clay pot was empty, because this matter offended the third family for no reason, and was even more hated by Hu Guangqing. Qian Da is also a waste, and he will be sent away for just two hundred taels of silver.

Boss Hu felt that no one could count on him, and if he wanted to get the money back, he had to rely on himself.

But how can you come back?

Hu Baozhu twisted his waist and walked through the courtyard, reluctant to come to deliver food to Boss Hu.

Boss Hu's Yu Wei is still alive, even if he doesn't go out, others don't dare to let him go hungry. The task of delivering meals every day fell to Hu Baozhu.

Since the turmoil of the marriage on behalf of the people, Hu Baozhu has calmed down a lot, and he also has a grudge against Boss Hu.

She brought a bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables, threw them on the table lightly, and didn't intend to ignore Boss Hu, and turned around to leave.

"Orb." Boss Hu's voice trembled.
