idle mistress

Chapter 75 If you get a treasure
She shook her head and vetoed it: "That can't be done. I asked Little Niba to work here because he was pitiful. There is a disabled mother and a young little sister in his family, and they all point to him to make money alone." .”

Ah Liang put it forward with a stiff head, but she didn't expect that she would be so unsympathetic, secretly hating her...

Taking the monthly silver from the palace, Xu Weiqiu not only hired the little mud guy, but also hand-painted a dozen drawings, and spent nearly 20 taels of silver to the blacksmith's shop to make a set of hand-lined surgical tools.

In order to avoid panic, she opened a small workshop across the street from the medical hall, and hired several embroiderers to start a tailor-made clothing business.There is a private house connected to the back of the small workshop, and this private house can lead to the back alley. She opened the two and made a secret door in the middle.

She enters through the main entrance every day, chats with those embroiderers, then enters the back room on the pretext of drawing embroidery pictures, and slips out of the private house after some disguise.

She met this little mud in the back alley. At that time, he was working as a coolie and accidentally broke an expensive vase belonging to the owner. Several long-term workers of the owner beat and kicked him and threatened to report to the police.

Little Niba was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and tried his best to kowtow to others. Many people were watching, but none of them was willing to stand up.

Little Mud's naive expression and somewhat slow reaction reminded Xu Weiqiu of Shan Niu from his hometown.

Seeing his pity, she finally came forward to help him solve the trouble, and later learned that he still had a disabled mother and young sister to take care of.

Xu Weiqiu couldn't help feeling compassionate, which gave him a stable job.

After hiring Little Mud, A Liang can no longer trouble her, and she has a lot more time.

In just a few months, she has learned a lot of medical principles of traditional Chinese medicine from Dr. Ruan, and now she has started to dabble in the field of acupuncture. She is very interested in this acupuncture technique. However, Ping Shitang usually has very few patients, and she can't find a practitioner. of.

At dusk that day, Xu Weiqiu returned to the palace, passing by a courtyard, he saw a woman standing under a sycamore tree with her head bowed and sighing, her face full of sorrow.

She recognized at a glance that this person was the younger sister of Young Master Gao of the Wangfu, and she didn't want to have too much interaction with the female family members of the Gao family.Xu Weiqiu planned to keep quiet and quietly walked past.

Unexpectedly, just after she walked a few steps, the other party spotted her sharp-eyed and waved at her:
"Oh, come here..."

Xu Weiqiu had no choice but to walk over.

Gao Xiangning looked at her and asked, "Are you a maid in the mansion?"

That day when I was eating in Pingfulou, I dressed up strangely, and today I was wearing a Tsing Yi, which was made of plain and low-key material. No wonder Miss Gao mistook herself for a girl from the palace.

Xu Weiqiu didn't want to explain too much, just nodded.

"My paper harrier is hanging on a tree."

Xu Weiqiu looked up and saw a kite hanging on a tree branch.

"See if you can take it off for me, please." This Miss Gao actually acted coquettishly at her.

Xu Weiqiu didn't want to care about it at first, but seeing this thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl speaking so politely to a servant, and also looking sweet and cute, she couldn't stop her pity from coming up.

Not wanting to disappoint him, she nodded and said, "It's a small thing, just wait a minute."

She is a child who grew up in the mountains, and none of her childhood playmates can compare to her when it comes to climbing trees.When she came to the sycamore tree, she hugged the trunk and used her housekeeping skills, and started to climb up with hands and feet.

Gao Xiangning stared under the tree dumbfounded. She climbed up the tree in two or three moves, and took down her paper kite in a short while.

"Wow! You are so amazing." Gao Xiangning ran over excitedly, took the paper kite, looked down, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

Xu Weiqiu patted the dirty things on his hands, but seeing the man who was so happy just now suddenly had a mournful face, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Miss Gao raised the paper kite in her hand to her eyes. It turned out that the paper kite had been punctured by a branch.

"If it's broken, it won't be able to fly." Gao Xiangning said disappointedly.

You must know that this is her only paper harrier. My brother keeps her under strict control and doesn't like her to go out to play. She secretly hid this paper harrier during the Double Ninth Festival last year.

Every time I play, I come out secretly alone, and I don't even dare to bring the maid.She likes to watch the paper harrier flying in the air, like a free bird.

But now the paper kite is broken, and her happiness is gone.

Xu Weiqiu felt that she had done her best and shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs, but she couldn't see the beauty shed tears.

She couldn't help but said: "It's okay, I'll make one for you." She felt that it was a pity that she was used to being a man.

Sure enough, the beauty immediately smiled when she heard her words: "Really, you can make paper kites?"

Xu Weiqiu nodded: "Yes, yes, but I need to find some paper with a relatively strong texture."

Gao Xiangning nodded immediately: "Yes, there are all kinds of paper, come with me..."

Gao Xiangning led her through the corridors and courtyards of the palace, and quickly led her into a study.

"Look, there's all kinds of paper here."

Sure enough, there was a round bamboo basket next to a book table, and the basket was full of paper, and the rolls were full.

Xu Weiqiu stepped forward to take a look. Hemp paper, rice paper, ribbed paper... There are all kinds of cotton paper.

She chose a piece of oil-shirted paper, which is light and flexible, and it is the most suitable for making paper kites.

Gao Xiangning saw that she took out a small bamboo tube from her waist, but seeing that she didn't know where to press it, she actually stretched out a sharp knife from it.

She couldn't help sighing: "Your knife is really unique."

Xu Weiqiu smiled and didn't answer, she took the knife three times, five times and two times, and disassembled all the frame of the original torn paper kite.

Then use a blade to cut the oil-jersey paper into a large square and several long strips, and then install the dismantled bamboo pieces one by one and tie them with small ropes.

Soon, a brand new paper harrier was made.

Gao Xiangning took the old paper harriers and compared them, and found that the shapes were exactly the same.It's just that the newly made one lacks some tricks and looks a little bland.

Xu Weiqiu also quickly discovered this problem. She is a person who pursues perfection. After thinking about it, she put the newly made paper kite on the desk, picked up the pen and ink on the desk, and began to draw.

After a while, a vivid phoenix appeared on the paper kite.

"Sister, you are amazing."

Gao Xiangning looked at her from joy to admiration, and her address unknowingly changed to elder sister.

"Do you like it?" Xu Weiqiu picked up the paper kite and looked at it. This was drawn casually by her, and it took less than [-]% of her painting skills.

Gao Xiangning took the kite kite and praised it, Xu Weiqiu was very happy that he looked like a treasure.
