Village Girl Struggle

After the two girls, Tianxiang and Dongping, whom Zhao Meng took at the time, were tried by the three giants of the Zhao Mansion, I don’t know how they recruited them. Anyway, the two of them disappeared in Zhao Mansion the next day. They were said to have been sent off. When I went to the most remote Zhuangzi of the Zhao family to do hard work, I was afraid that I would never be able to return in this life.

Aunt Mei was confined for three months, and the second lady, Zhao Meng, who was still ill, was ordered to move out. She lived in an independent yard and was not allowed to talk to Aunt Mei again.

This time Aunt Mei has fallen a lot.

There are some shadowy rumors in Zhao's Mansion, saying that the second lady, Zhao Meng, was jealous of the young master Zhao Xi, who wrote that he became a concubine under the name of the eldest lady, and then he was poisoned to drown the younger brother.

Although it is a rumors, Jiang Ying feels that there is no wind and no waves. It can completely explain why Zhao Meng suddenly hated Zhao Xi, but Jiang Ying still can't understand. Why does Zhao Meng feel that without Zhao Xi, she can be remembered as a prostitute?

Alas, there are so many women with brain-dead women in different worlds!

Jiang Ying, who had saved the young master, had a further promotion in this small courtyard at this time. Now that Zhao Xi gives Jiang Ying something delicious and useful, no one will be surprised, after all, where Jiang Ying's credit lies.

Jiang Ying finally made up ten embroidery patterns. That day, I didn’t see enough of the koi. Now Zhao Mansion strictly prohibits the young masters from going to the pool... Jiang Ying finally gave up these patterns of painting fish and lotus leaves and chose Other subjects.

At the end of the month, Jiang Ying told Mother Gao to leave the house for a long time, because she didn't have to go to Sister Jiang's house, and the half-day vacation was enough for Jiang Ying. When Jiang Ying left the house this time, he was familiar with the road and went straight to the sewing shop.

In the sewing shop, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were still there. Jiang Ying waited aside, pretending to be a needlework picker, and when there were few people, he took out his own paintings, "Anything, look at this embroidery, can you accept it here?"

The old woman didn’t care at first, thinking of a little girl’s film, what good embroideries she could come up with, she glanced at the small paper roll that Jiang Ying took out, and she widened her presbyopic eyes. A surprised sigh came.

"Huh?...Cui Niang, come and see."

The old woman greeted her daughter-in-law, and took a closer look, but saw that the painting in this little girl's hand was no more than a fan, and there was only a rolling little milky cat on the snow-white paper. Fluffy, a pair of cats with round eyes, and a small paw stretched out to reach the hydrangea on the ground, their movements are all lively and cute.

The black-faced daughter-in-law who was called Cui Niang also leaned over and was amazed, "Oh, it's so beautiful, this fluffy one is not really normal."

With bright eyes, the old woman stretched out a pair of dead branches, and she was about to touch it. Jiang Ying generously handed the picture of the milk cat to the old woman, indicating that she could look at it casually.

The old woman sharply noticed that there was a peach blossom picture under the milk cat picture. Although it was just a glimpse, she could also vaguely see the bright red flowers blooming on the branches, and her eyes immediately shining brightly.

Hearing someone coming in from the shop, the old woman hurriedly told her daughter-in-law to greet the customers, and took Jiang Ying to the backyard by herself.

The old woman looked at this one, looked at that one, she couldn't bear to put down either one, her old face smiled like an old chrysanthemum, her mouth never closed. This sewing shop was made by herself and the old man and has been in business for decades. Only when I look like this, I have seen a lot of flowers, but I have never seen such a vivid and elegant color. It really looks like a living mold, uh, no , It looks better than it really is, with such an indescribable dexterity and gratifying spirit, this must be a god-man to be painted like this!

In fact, the old woman's knowledge is limited to female red embroidery. These sketches similar to hand-rolled fans can also be drawn by ordinary painters, but painters naturally disdain to earn money for these ten articles.

"This embroidered look, do you want it here?"

Jiang Ying asked again, um, looking at the look of this mother-in-law, he should like it very much, right?

Haha, think about it, this king's paintings were very expensive in the capital back then. Someone who was stupid and rich even offered a price of ten thousand taels of silver and asked to buy a fan of Jiang Ying, which was not worth it!

Of course, the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but it is actually intended to please Jiang Yingfang and he wants to get the position of side husband.

"Yes, I want..." The old woman nodded her head hurriedly, "If there are more, also want it. The price,..."

I want to talk about twenty essays. Seeing Jiang Ying's little girl with a clean face and looking at herself with two bright big eyes, I feel a little sad. The original ink line drafts are embroidered in twenty essays. , It's a far cry from this colorful and bright embroidery...

The old woman thought for a while before she said, "Little girl, this embroidery is more beautiful than usual. How about a piece of twenty-five characters if the mother-in-law gives you five characters? No matter how high it is, I'm afraid this little shop can't afford it. ."

Jiang Ying nodded, "Sure, just follow her mother-in-law."

Anyway, it is labor, and the cost is almost negligible.

The old woman was very happy to receive these new and beautiful embroidery, and she happily paid Jiang Ying. She also took Jiang Ying Nao, introduced her home, and wanted to find out where Jiang Ying's painting came from.

It turns out that this old woman’s family name is Zeng. She has opened this small shop for more than 20 years. She relied on this small business to support her son and married a daughter-in-law. The black-faced woman in the shop is her daughter-in-law Liu. .

Jiang Ying changed her name to her old mother-in-law as Zeng's mother-in-law. He smiled and took a handful of melon seeds from the old man, put it in his pocket, and casually made up a story, saying that his father had read books and was able to write and draw. Because of his poor bones, he let himself out to run errands.

According to Jiang Ying’s observations for more than a year, it seems that there are not many people who can write and paint in this world. The painting is like this, and the mother-in-law of Zeng’s wife and daughter-in-law have been amazed. After going out, I'm afraid that it will cause disasters, so it's better to keep a low profile.

Jiang Ying resigned from Zeng’s mother-in-law, holding two hundred and fifty wen in his arms, plus the 80 wen and monthly money issued at the end of the month, it really feels like a poor person turns rich. In seven or eight months, he earned back his original wealth.

However, if you want to get rid of slavery, you don’t have the talent. Jiang Ying, as a superior person, naturally knows that the masters don’t like slaves who are always thinking about getting out of their control. They have to hide their thoughts and wait for the best time. Yes.

Jiang Ying walked around the street, bought some frequently used things for herself, and bought some snacks and the like to go back to share with the people in the yard. Seeing that the hour was approaching, he went back the same way.

Going out from the back door of the Zhao Mansion is a small alley. Many of the houses in the alley are occupied by the children of Zhao Mansion or the family members of the subordinates. Some older people like to squat against the wall in the corner of the alley when they are fine, chatting in twos and threes. Sometimes, in case you need someone to do chores in the house, these people can be rewarded with a few pennies. Therefore, as long as the weather is good, you can always see the gray figure squatting or sitting.

Jiang Ying turned in from the entrance of the alley and walked a few steps. When he was about to reach the back door of Zhao's Mansion, he suddenly heard a sharp yell from behind, "Erni!"
