After Shen Xiu returned home, she mentioned to Yang about buying a house. At the same time, it was vaguely revealed that Wei Yan had also seen the house.
Yang didn't expect that she would raise enough money to buy a house so quickly. She couldn't believe it for a moment, thinking that when Shen Xiu first came in, she was lazy and greedy and couldn't even cook, but now she relied on her embroidery skills to buy a house in the county.
House.
She just felt that her heart was very complicated. Although she knew that her second daughter-in-law would leave home sooner or later after she knew that her second son would be successful. But now, before her second son could be successful, her second daughter-in-law had bought a house on her own. She
Being a mother-in-law will inevitably feel uncomfortable.
"Don't tell the villagers about this," Yang said after being silent for a while, "If anyone asks, just say it's a rented house."
Shen Xiudao: "I know the principle of not revealing wealth. When people ask, I will say that it is for the convenience of taking care of my husband, so I rented a house in the city."
Yang said calmly: "That's okay. There is one more thing I have to tell you. As early as when you wanted to buy a house, your father and I discussed it. If you can really buy a house, let Daya accompany you.
She wants to live with you. Firstly, she can’t live without you, and secondly, you have a companion.”
Shen Xiuwei thought about it and agreed, knowing that the old couple was a little worried about her.
Seeing that she readily agreed, Ms. Yang felt slightly better, "Then when do you plan to move there? Do you need our help?"
Shen Xiudao: "I plan to move there tomorrow. I don't need help. The furniture there is all ready-made. I just need some quilts."
"Mom, don't worry, I will come back to see you and dad often." Shen Xiu saw that Yang was not very happy, so she comforted her.
Mrs. Yang sighed: "The child has to grow up because of his mother. Sooner or later, this day will come."
Even though Yang used these words to comfort herself again, she was still a little sad and couldn't sleep that night.
Shen Xiu also didn't sleep well, not because she was sad but because she was excited.
She had had this idea for a long time, but after the Zou family was separated, the idea faded away for a while, but it was a pity that she didn't have so much money at the time.
If the embroidery shop had not provided her with one hundred taels of silver this time to buy her embroidery skills, Shen Xiu would not have been able to buy this house.
When she was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, she was still thinking that she would have to teach the embroidery girls tomorrow. Only when the embroidery shop was in good condition could she earn more money.
As a result of not being able to sleep, Shen Xiu went to the city first with two panda eyes on his head the next day.
After Hui Niang waited for her to come to the embroidery village, she came forward to introduce her to the three embroidery ladies of the embroidery village.
These three embroiderers are all old people in the embroidery village, and they are more or less related to Huiniang.
One of them, an embroiderer named Wen, looked at Shen Xiu very wrongly, as if she didn't like her very much.
Shen Xiu knew that given her current age, it was reasonable for others not to believe in her embroidery skills, so she automatically ignored Wen Xiu Niang's gaze.
Unexpectedly, Lady Wenxiu was not a good embroiderer. After Lady Hui introduced them, she said, "Mother Hui, this person is so young, one year younger than my daughter. You are kidding me by asking her to teach us embroidery skills!"
"
Madam Hui had always been very tolerant towards the three embroiderers, so she was not angry after hearing such words. She just smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? You will know later."
She was very confident in Shen Xiu's embroidery skills, and immediately glanced at the other person and motioned for her to come forward and show off her skills to the three embroiderers.
Shen Xiu was not afraid of the stage, and took a few steps forward openly, "I know that I am young, and the three of you are still doubtful about my embroidery skills. Well, you can ask me a question to test me.
Are you qualified enough to teach you?"
The three embroiderers couldn't help but look at each other, and finally Wen embroiderer said: "Since you said so, then we will test you." After speaking, she pointed to the embroidery stand next to her, "This is what we gave to the old lady of the Lu family.
If you can embroider a screen and tell me a few stitches contained in it, then we will accept your embroidery."
Shen Xiu noticed this embroidery screen when she came. She stared at it for a while, and when she raised her head, she said: "The color of the peonies on this embroidery goes from dark to light, and then from light to dark. It should be the use of needles and glue."
For the needles and stamens, I use a cutting needle. As for the stems of this peony, I use a cutting needle. And for the wings of this butterfly, I use a cutting needle. What I said should be right!"
That's right, absolutely right.
There was a trace of surprise on Wen Xiu Niang's face. She didn't expect that Shen Xiu could really see the stitching used on this screen.
Shen Xiu did not look complacent, but took another look at the screen. To be honest, the embroidery on the screen was not very good, and the stitching skills were second to none. The key was that the craftsmanship was too heavy and it lacked a bit of flexibility.
However, since she had just arrived, she naturally couldn't directly point out the problem with the embroidery screen, so she smiled slightly and said, "Now that I have told you the stitching techniques used for this embroidery screen, I will teach the three of you how to embroider the yarn."
She showed such a skill, Wen Xiu and the others didn't say much, so they nodded: "Please give me more advice from Mrs. Shen in the future."
Hui Niang left after seeing the three embroiderers being sincerely convinced by Shen Xiu.
As soon as she entered the quiet room, shopkeeper Liu came.
"Boss, the matter you asked me to investigate is already clear."
Shopkeeper Liu continued: "The Ruyi Embroidery Workshop did send people to Suzhou, saying that they would hire local embroiderers at a high price. However, most of the embroiderers with superb embroidery skills in Suzhou have already been hired by local embroidery shops, so they sent
The people who went there haven’t found a suitable embroiderer yet.”
But if you can't get one now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to get one in the future. As long as the price offered by Ruyi Embroidery Shop is high, sooner or later you can get an embroiderer with superb embroidery skills.
"We can't just sit around and wait for death during this period." Huiniang mused, "Tomorrow I will go to see Boss Dong of the silk and satin shop in person and try to buy a batch of gauze and silk cloth from him at a low price. As long as we are fast enough,
I will definitely be able to get this embroidery out before the Suzhou embroidery lady arrives."
Shopkeeper Liu said: "My boss is right to think so. It's a long way from here to Suzhou, and it takes at least more than a month. As long as we can make this embroidery famous in this month, then the embroidery hired by Ruyi Embroidery Studio will be great."
No matter how exquisite my embroidery skills are, I can't shake our embroidery shop one bit."
The two then discussed some things about the embroidery village. Shopkeeper Liu waited for the things to be finished and was about to leave the quiet room when Madam Hui suddenly stopped him.
"Shopkeeper Liu, what do you think of Mrs. Shen?"
Shopkeeper Liu didn't understand why she asked this, so he thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Shen's embroidery skills are superb and her character is decent. It would be great if we could make friends with her."
Hui Niang said: "You were not here just now. The three embroiderers were not convinced by her age and wanted to embarrass her, but she could see at a glance the stitches used to embroider the screen. Now I am more and more curious, what else did she hide?
How capable."
She paused and then said: "If our embroidery shop can really survive the rush of Ruyi Embroidery Shop, then I really want to ask her to come to our embroidery shop to help."
