After rebirth, mother is hard to do

Chapter 20 Wedding Dress
Shangguanxi watched Meng Yuxuan write down one couplet after another with admiration.In Shangguanxi's eyes, Meng Yuxuan was simply too powerful.

Dad said that ordinary women are illiterate, but his mother is not only literate, but also has such a good knowledge.When Dad comes back, he must tell Dad.

But when will dad come back?Mother is getting better and better, what if someone else snatches her away?Daddy really wants to make his son worry about his lifelong affairs.

Mr. Zhou wrote fifteen Shanghai couplets, and Meng Yuxuan wrote thirty Shanghai couplets from memory.

There is a big library in her space, do you want any knowledge?She said it was done by the teacher, but in fact she learned it from the study.

If she is thick-skinned and tells others that it is her work, then some people will believe it.After all, these couplets do not belong to this era.

"I'll ask someone to hang them up right away. It's just that it takes time to set up the teahouse. Is Madam coming tomorrow, or find a place to rest?" Mr. Zhou couldn't put down the pair written by Meng Yuxuan.He put the ones he wrote there without looking at them, and cherished Meng Yuxuan's writings very much.

Meng Yuxuan saw him keep blowing on the wet ink, a smile flashed in her eyes.This old man... is really a nerd.

"I'll come back tomorrow. These hawthorn cakes will stay here. By the way, pick the most difficult one and frame it and hang it at the door. You can put a sign at the door, which states that only those who match the second line can enter the teahouse. In the future Don't just let anyone in. This will satisfy the appetite of those scholars, and they will be more interested in your teahouse." Meng Yuxuan laughed.

"Thank you, Mrs. Meng, for your suggestion." Veteran Zhou wrote down everything Meng Yuxuan said.Now Mr. Zhou's attitude towards her is completely different.A woman who can write three different fonts, and every pair she writes is a classic, she should be offered as an ancestor.

For the past year, he has been living his life peacefully, never thinking about making any big moves.Meng Yuxuan rekindled his fighting spirit today.

Meng Yuxuan's piano sound and literary talent made Mr. Zhou understand that the world is so big that capable people are everywhere.He learns a lot, and he must not be arrogant.

On the street, Meng Yuxuan dragged Shangguanxi to go shopping, and from time to time added supplies that were missing at home to the basket.The backpack was borrowed from Mr. Zhou.Her burden was left in Mr. Zhou's teahouse, and she had to buy something to go back, so she borrowed a basket from Mr. Zhou.

"Boss, how do you sell lean meat?" Meng Yuxuan smiled at the butcher shop owner.

The butcher's shop owner looked at Meng Yuxuan bewilderedly, and his saliva flowed down.

Meng Yuxuan didn't wait for a response and looked up suspiciously.The butcher's reaction made her frown.

She touched her cheek and thought to herself: Aunt Lin is right, next time you go out, you should wear a veil!
"Dead thing, what are you looking at? Be careful that the old lady will dig out your eyes." A fat woman came out of the room. She saw the butcher shop owner looking at Meng Yuxuan with salivating eyes, and she immediately became angry. .

Seeing this woman, the butcher shrank his neck, and hastily lowered his restless eyes.He laughed dryly and said, "Damn, don't get me wrong. I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't have the energy. I didn't look at her. Who is she? What's so good about her? I have such a beautiful daughter-in-law, what do you want to see her do?" "

After hearing the man's words, the woman's fat face softened a little, and she said coldly, "You're smart."

After finishing speaking, she yelled at Meng Yuxuan with her arms akimbo: "Little vixen, my wife's men dare to provoke you, are you tired of living? Get out of here, or I will kill you."

Meng Yuxuan sneered, and looked at the fat woman coldly: "Ma'am, you don't look at your man's appearance, which blind person would provoke him? Xi'er, let's go. This meat is stinky, let's change house purchase."

"Yeah." Shangguanxi glared at the woman, and followed Meng Yuxuan out of the butcher shop.

"Damn ghost, my soul has been taken away by that little vixen. I still want to watch it! Is it good-looking? I beat you to death, you bastard." The voice of the butcher's wife chasing and beating the butcher shop owner came from far away.

"Damn it, I really didn't watch it. I put all my energy into you, how can I have the energy to look at other women? Oh, stop beating..."

Meng Yuxuan took Shangguanxi's hand and accelerated the pace of leaving.She secretly wrote down the location of this butcher shop, and vowed never to buy meat there again.Not only do you not buy meat, but you have to go faster when you pass there in the future.

After passing through a street, I picked a butcher shop that was pleasing to the eye and bought lean meat, ribs and pork offal.

People here don't eat pig offal.Butcher shop owners sell them for a penny to feed their dogs.But Meng Yuxuan learned how to deal with pig offal from the study, so she planned to buy it back and try the craft.

"Xi'er, have you watched me all the way, haven't you seen enough?" Meng Yuxuan chuckled lightly.

"Mother, you have such a talent, why do you still want to sell hawthorn cakes? You can make money by writing a few words and playing a piece of music." Shangguanxi endured all the way, always wanting to ask this question.In his opinion, a piece of hawthorn cake sells for five cents, and 200 yuan is only one tael of silver.It's more than this price for his mother to write a random word.

"Xi'er, mother understands what you mean. But mother only wants to live a simple life. Sometimes being famous is not a good thing, but a burden instead." Why doesn't Meng Yuxuan know this truth?But she didn't want to gain the reputation of a talented woman.I don't want to attract too many people's attention.Her face is already very ostentatious. "If my mother lets more people know me, and people will come to me every day, I won't be able to play with Xi'er. Is this okay?"

"No. I want my mother to accompany me." Shangguanxi shook his head repeatedly.

"That's right." Meng Yuxuan nodded with a smile on his forehead. "Mother only needs to earn enough money to support you and me. The other vain mothers don't want any of it."

"Mother, you are so kind to Xi'er." Shangguan Xi looked at Meng Yuxuan with emotion.

"Silly boy." Meng Yuxuan sighed softly. "Mother suddenly remembered that there is still one thing that has not been dealt with. The embroidery pavilion is ahead, let's go there."

Xiu Pavilion, Meng Yuxuan walked into the gate, only to see a young woman greet her.

Meng Yuxuan didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "I'm looking for Liniang. I took the embroidery work from her, and now I bring it to her."

As soon as the words fell, Liniang came out from the back room.When she saw Meng Yuxuan, she smiled and said, "So it's a girl! Hey, why did you comb your hair today? Last time I saw you, you were still dressed like a girl."

Meng Yuxuan smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I'm already married. This is my son. Ma'am, I'm here to hand over the work."

As he spoke, he handed over the ten handkerchiefs in his hand.

The veil was placed in the space just now.Fortunately, this thing is small, even if it is taken out from the sleeve, no one will suspect it.

Liniang took it casually, and was amazed when she saw the embroidery on the handkerchief.

"It's really an exquisite embroidery work. Sister, it seems that my sister still underestimated your ability. With your embroidery work, you can even enter the palace as an embroidery teacher." Liniang took Meng Yuxuan's hand and said affectionately: "These The embroidered handkerchiefs are returned at 150 cash per piece, and [-] pieces are [-] cash. Adding a deposit of [-] cash, it will be [-] cash. Is the girl satisfied with this price?"

Last time I was still politely called 'girl', but when I saw the embroiderer, I just called him 'sister'.The proprietress's flattering skills are also beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"The price given by the proprietress is naturally fair, but there is no need to get back the deposit. I also want to receive ten square handkerchiefs." Meng Yuxuan said.

"Oh, my dear sister! With your embroiderer, how can this small square handkerchief fit? You can do it, and take on a big job!" Liniang pulled Meng Yuxuan, speaking earnestly, The expression is sincere. "Miss Tang's wedding was originally scheduled for July next year, but the groom's grandmother is seriously ill, and it's about to die. The two families decided to advance the wedding date. No, Miss Tang's wedding dress will be handed over to Xiuge to catch up with us. system."

"You want me to take over the wedding dress?" Meng Yuxuan raised her eyebrows, hesitated for a while, and said, "When will we get married?"

"The tenth day of next month." Liniang said.

"There are still 20 days." Meng Yuxuan looked at the clothes Liniang took out, shook her head and said, "It's too late. I have other jobs, so I can't make it."

"Oh, my good sister. Just do it, take this job! If you take this job, Miss Tang's wedding dress will definitely become the signboard of our Xiu Pavilion, and your name will also Spread the word. This is also good for you." Liniang pleaded with a bitter face, "If you finish the wedding dress within the specified time, I will pay you 100 taels of silver. How about it? Isn't this price low? "

Meng Yuxuan thought to herself: This woman really knows how to do business.With my craftsmanship, if it is really made, it will be more than 100 taels of silver?

"I don't have a deposit for you." The material of the wedding dress is very precious, if it is damaged, I'm afraid you will have to pay a lot of money.Ordinary embroiderers dare not accept such a large order.But Meng Yuxuan has confidence in her embroidery skills, she will not do badly.

"Why are we sisters talking about this? Can I still not trust you? The deposit is fine. You just take it home and do it." Liniang waved her hand with a nonchalant expression.

Meng Yuxuan looked at Shangguanxi next to her, and smiled softly: "Xi'er, do you want to take it back and do it?"

"I don't want my mother to work too hard. Doing embroidery will hurt my eyes, and my mother will feel very uncomfortable." Shangguanxi said thoughtfully.

"This child is really painful. My sister is so lucky to have such a good son." Liniang looked at Shangguanxi enviously.

"200 taels, I'll take it." Meng Yuxuan said: "Also, if someone asks who made Miss Tang's wedding dress, you are not allowed to tell others. If you violate this rule, I will not do it for you again. Embroidery Pavilion is doing things."

"You are really strange, girl. Others want everyone to know their skills, but you are afraid that others will know. Forget it, people with skills have a bad temper, I just listen to you. As for the price... The proprietress had a painful face, and finally clapped her hands and said: "200 taels is 200 taels, who made us hit it off!"

"The proprietress doesn't need to do this. When the wedding dress is in your hands, you will earn far more than me. I won't let you suffer." Meng Yuxuan said: "Please help the proprietress wrap it up with something. By the way, the silk thread is ready the best."

"It's fine. Don't worry, sister." Liniang was afraid that Meng Yuxuan would repent, so she immediately went into the house to find the best silk thread.
