peasant girl wedding

Chapter 148 Embroidery Room
Outside Tongji's shop, Zhaocai welcomes people who come to the shop to drink tea or buy groceries with a smile on his face.Suddenly seeing a carriage, my heart is even more eager.

"Excuse me----"

Zhaocai only said two words, but was interrupted, "Is your little boss here?"

The tone seemed a little anxious, Zhao Cai raised his head, and met Qin An's expressionless face in the carriage.

"The little boss is not here."

Zhaocai wanted to observe his expression, but the car curtain was immediately put down.

It was dark inside the carriage, and Zhang Guanshi resisted the low pressure and said: "The shopkeeper..."

"Let's go."

It's been a long time, Qin An said.

The carriage set off again, the driver raised his whip, and after a while the shadow disappeared.

Zhaocai wondered, why shopkeeper Qin came to Xiaodong's house for something, he seemed to be in a hurry, and when Xiaodong's came, he would definitely...

The thought of recruiting money suddenly stopped, wiped his eyes, and then trotted over, "Little boss."

Tong Zhi'er didn't intend to hide, and slowly came out from the corner.

"Just now shopkeeper Qin asked about Xiaodong's family." Zhaocai reported.

Tong Zhier nodded.

Zhaocai saw that her eyes were a little lonely, although he was confused, but he couldn't get involved in her personal affairs, so he just continued to solicit customers.

Under the slanting sunlight, Tong Zhi'er stood by the secluded street, staring at the direction Qin An left for a long time.

She promised him to come see him off on the day he left, and she kept her promise, but he didn't know...

The carriage was driving rapidly on the driveway, the shafts were rumbling, but the interior of the carriage was silent.

Guanshi Zhang looked at Qin An's silent face, feeling worried.

"The shopkeeper's..."

Qin An closed his eyes.

"..." Zhang Guanshi sighed quietly in his heart, bowed his head and played with counting fingers.

"What you promised, but those who didn't keep their promises, did they go back on their word, or were they delayed because of other urgent matters."

A thick male voice sounded from inside the carriage.

Zhang Guanshi was startled, and then realized that it was Qin An who was talking to him.

"Of course it is..." Guanshi Zhang didn't think about it, but he wanted to say that he regretted it. After thinking about it, Qin An was in a good mood these two days, especially when he was about to go home today, he was in a particularly good mood. From time to time, he glanced outside the door, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Of course what?"

Before waiting for Guanshi Zhang's answer, Qin An opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Of course it was delayed due to an urgent matter. Suhuo promises a thousand dollars. Since I promised something, if there is no special reason, how can I break the appointment..."

The corners of Qin An's mouth rose slightly.

His mood improved, Zhang Guanshi also followed Su's breath, but he was wondering in his heart who had accepted the shopkeeper's appointment today.

……

The days passed slowly, more than a month passed in a blink of an eye, and now it is December.

Tongji's shop is already on the right track. Ji Guzi, the accountant in the shop, is very serious about his work, and Tong Zhi'er is very relieved of him.

During this period of more than a month, Tong Zhi'er successfully established a good relationship with the magistrate's wife, and became a good relationship between the godmother and the goddaughter.

Speaking of which, Tong Zhi'er met Mrs. Zhixian, and it all started with Tong Duo'er's double-sided embroidery.

The magistrate and his wife have a 13-year-old daughter who loves embroidery very much.In Tongji's shop, Tong Zhi'er specially set up a shelf to display Tong Duo'er's own embroidery, such as handkerchiefs, purses, waistbands and so on.Among them, the best-selling embroidery is double-sided embroidery.

The daughter of Mrs. Zhixian, named Song Ruyi.When I came to Tongji's shop, I happened to see Tong Duo'er's embroidery, and I liked it very much, so I asked the girl to tell the clerk, and then the clerk told Tong Zhi'er about it.

Immediately, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Duo'er went to the magistrate's mansion to visit Song Ruyi.

Tong Zhi'er's funny talk caught Song Ruyi's mind, Song Ruyi admired Tong Duo'er's embroidery, and the three became good sisters at first sight.

Because Tong Duo'er was married to Dong Ping, it was not good to go out too frequently, so it was Tong Zhi'er who went to the magistrate's mansion to meet Song Ru.

After going back and forth, the magistrate's wife knew about Tong Zhi'er. Once she was talking with Song Ruyi in the room, and people outside said that Tong Zhi'er had come.Madam Zhixian wanted to see her, but she didn't avoid it.

Madam Zhixian saw that she spoke gracefully and acted pleasing to the eye, and she was very happy, so she sighed: "If only I could have a daughter who is as caring as you, Zhi'er."

She sighed.

Song Ruyi is not a stingy woman either, she said with a smile, "That mother just accepts Zhi'er as her goddaughter. In this way, I also have a dear sister."

Therefore, Tong Zhi'er recognized Madam Zhixian as her godmother.

Here, Tong Zhi'er has established a good relationship with Mrs. Zhixian and Miss Zhixian. On the other hand, Tong Zhide's family has also undergone new changes.

After Tongji shop got on the right track, Tong Zhide became the steward of Tongji shop. He is honest and kind, and he is Tong Zhixin's second elder brother and Tong Zhi'er's second uncle.If there is anyone in the Tong family that Tong Zhixin's family trusts, it is Tong Zhide.

At first, Tong Zhide naturally refused to do it.Later, after Tong Zhi'er moved him, he expressed his affection and expressed his righteousness, that is to say, he was moved.

Luo Shi stayed at home and helped Fang Cuiwei prepare the winter clothes for the two families.

Tong Zhaoyin was still working in a restaurant. During this period, one of the clerks resigned for something, and he was promoted from doing odd jobs to serving food for people. His monthly salary rose to one tael of silver, and the work he did was also higher than before. It's a lot easier when doing chores.

Tong Zhu'er is still learning to draw, but she is learning from the picture book Tong Zhi'er gave her.

In this picture album, Tong Zhi'er drew it herself, and some she invited Song Ruyi to draw.

The daughter of the county magistrate, the daughter of Xiaojia Biyu, not to mention that she is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her painting skills are very good. After being known by Tong Zhier, she talked about the picture album. Song Ruyi thought it was novel and agreed to her .

The picture book that combines ancient and modern painting techniques has broadened Tong Zhu'er's horizons and benefited a lot.

Tong Zhaofu has been studying in a private school for a long time, but he has a strong learning ability, learns quickly, remembers accurately, and has a bright head, which is far beyond the children of the same age. In private, some people call him a little child prodigy.The gentlemen of Mingyang Private School consulted Tong Zhixin, and planned to let him skip a grade when the school starts next year, and learn a deeper level of knowledge with ten-year-old children.

Speaking of the four children in Tong Zhixin's family, Tong Duo'er has gained the most.

Originally, when Tong Zhier and Tong Zhuer were selling dolls, the logo she embroidered with double-sided embroidery surprised many girls.Now that there is a Tongji shop, after her double-sided embroidery is placed on the counter, not only the sales volume is good, but also many girls come here to learn.

For this reason, Tong Zhi'er suggested that Tong Duo'er open an embroidery class, and give Tong Duo'er's double-sided embroidery techniques to girls who like embroidery.

The embroidery class chose the guest room of Tong's house, Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhi'er made arrangements, and it became the embroidery room of the girl's house.

Every day, Tong Duo'er's happiest thing is to teach the stitches and skills of the girls who come to learn embroidery.

"Ma'am, this is an egg from my head."

At the door, a girl was holding a basket with ten eggs in it, whispering to Fang Cuiwei.

Fang Cuiwei declined, but the girl refused.

"Auntie, Sister Duo'er asked us to embroider, and we have nothing to repay Sister Duo'er, so please accept this kindness." The girl looked at Fang Cuiwei with red eyes, and if she didn't accept it, she would have to accept it. The posture of crying.

Fang Cui thanked her with a smile, saying that she doesn't have to be so polite in the future.

The girl just smiled shyly, and then walked towards the embroidery room.

I am grateful to Tong Duo'er for teaching them embroidery. This girl is not the only one who sent things to Tong's family. Almost all the six girls who came to the embroidery class brought more or less things from the house to express their gratitude and gratitude.

If you have a skill, you will be able to rely on it when you marry in the future. These girls and their families are extremely grateful to Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhixin's family.

Time gradually passed, gone forever.

Like Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei, Tong Duo'er is an honest person, and she will hand over what she knows to the girls in the embroidery class without reservation.Gradually, the embroidery skills of the girls got better and better. After Tong Zhier saw it, he consulted these girls, and put their embroidery in Tongji shop and sold it together with Tong Duoer's embroidery.After getting the silver, distribute it to these girls.

I never thought of learning embroidery from Tong Duo'er, and I can earn money so quickly after learning something. The girls are very grateful to Tong Duo'er, and even more grateful to Tong Zhi'er who helped them.And when they heard about this, those who had girls in their families or relatives came to Tong's house to learn embroidery from Tong Duo'er.

Gradually, the size of the embroidery class has grown to around [-] people, and there is a tendency to increase the number of people.

Tong Zhi'er plans to implement a fee system for Tong Duo'er's embroidery class next year after the Chinese New Year is over.Of course, they won't turn away those who have difficulties at home and really can't afford money, and will help the girls who come to study with reasonable means to have skills.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but Tong Duo'er's embroidery room is bustling with activity.

While doing embroidery work, the girls gossip about the village.For example, which family's girl is naughty again, which family's daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are choking, and which family's so-and-so earns money.Every time at this time, Tong Duo'er listened carefully and joyfully.Even if she doesn't go out, she also knows many interesting and fun things in the village.

Probably gossip is a woman's nature, Fang Cuiwei, Tong Zhu'er, and Luo Shi also like to stay in the embroidery room.

"Mom, come and help me."

Tong Zhi'er's voice came from outside the house.

Fang Cui got up slightly and walked out quickly.

Tong Zhi'er dragged a rotten and old bag in his hand, which contained pitch-black charcoal.

　It's almost twelve o'clock, woohoo, I was wrong~~
