Nongmen lady Jiang Huhan

Chapter 28 Go to Buzhuang

028 Go to Buzhuang

Li Jingui's father is not the eldest son, so he doesn't have to support the elderly, and her mother, Mrs. Zhang, is very powerful. Not long after they got married, she and her mother-in-law fought hard. Zhang calls the shots.

The Zhang family made a lot of trouble, and finally when the adult men of the Li family got married, the Li family split up, which is extremely rare in the village.

After the separation, Mrs. Zhang basically didn't care about the old man. She only showed up when she had to go there during the New Year and festivals, and made a very shameless quarrel with her mother-in-law in the village. Everyone knew that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't get along.

However, she herself is doing pretty well, but the family has too little land, and Li Laohan has no skills, he can only do his best, and there is enough food, but the family cannot be said to be rich.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang has been relying on embroidery work to make up for the family income, so Li Yu has been passed down by her mother since she was a child. Li Yu is now a 13-year-old girl who can be considered a apprentice, so now her embroidery work is better than that of her mother, and in the village The girl is quite famous among them.

But even though Li Yu could pretend, she was a little impatient. Sometimes she couldn't control her appearance and made people feel unbearable. People who really knew her didn't like to have close friendships with her, so Li Yu had very few playmates.

Li Yu and Xin's family lived not far away, and they were about the same age as Xin Cui. Xin Cui's silly girl didn't have much heart, so the two played well since they were young.

Xin Wan felt that the reason why Li Yu did not agree to teach Xin Cui embroidery before was because she was afraid that Xin Cui would surpass her and gain a better reputation than her.

But now that Xin Cui's father is dead, the Li family has made some savings over the years, and can live a pretty good life in the village.

Then Xin Cui's family was even more disadvantaged, and Li Yu showed her sense of superiority even more, so Shi Shi usually taught Xin Cui how to embroider.

Xin Wan has sharp eyes. When she saw Xin Cui looking at Li Yu's embroidery, she found that her embroidery method was really smart and her embroidery was neat and beautiful.

Xin Cui and her have been learning intermittently for a year, but the stitches are very simple and the embroidery is very ordinary.

Xin Wan felt that Xin Cui was not stupid in embroidery, so she could not learn embroidery well because her master did not teach her well.

But this is normal. Who would teach the disciples to her sincerely and teach the disciples to starve to death? Everyone knows this truth, and she will not pick on it.

On the contrary, if it was her, she would keep both hands!

The two chatted and laughed and arrived in the town in less than half an hour.

It was the first time Xin Wan saw an ancient town, but it was like the one in a TV series, quaint, with shops on both sides of the street, and the town was basically full of brick houses, which looked very wealthy.

The people in the town seemed lively, even though it was already early in the morning, and there were ox carts, donkey carts, and even horse-drawn carts from time to time, as well as sedan chairs, which made Xin Wan very surprised.

However, this town is not too big, and there are only two or three streets that look relatively prosperous. However, on these streets, the shops are more regular and grand, and they are all paved with bricks and tiles, which makes them look very grand.

After Li Jingui stopped at a wonton stall, he tied the ox cart aside and waited here to let Li Yu go to the cloth village by himself.

When Xin Wan was leaving, she saw Li Jingui ordering two bowls of wontons. Seeing how he dared to eat and casually, it seemed that the life of the Li family was indeed getting better.

A bowl of wonton costs 8 Wen, and he eats two bowls by himself. The whole morning meal costs 16 Wen, which is not something that the Xin family would dare to spend.

Looking at Li Yu again, he was wearing a floral jacket and a cotton skirt that seemed to be newly made, the colors were very bright, and the semi-new clothes did not look like the two of them, the clothes were all patched and patched.

Li Yu is much taller than Xin Cui, with a slender waist, a 13-year-old girl who has begun to develop, and already has some taste.

She was carrying a small basket and talking and laughing with Xin Cui. Xin Cui looked back at Xin Wan from time to time, and stretched out her hand to hold her, fearing that she would get lost.

Xin Wan knew that Xin Cui didn't ignore her, but that she couldn't stand Li Yu's questions and topics one after another, and she couldn't spare time to care about Xin Wan.

The three of them entered a large cloth shop. Xin Wan looked at the dazzling array of fabrics inside with some curiosity. There were quite a few.

And the row of shelves behind the boss is full of silks and satins. Xin Wan liked ancient costumes and silks and satins very much in her previous life. It's a pity that she is not in good shape and can't wear them, but it doesn't hinder her appreciation.

She has saved a lot of ancient costumes that combine modern and ancient times. Most of them are costumes for characters in fantasy movies, TV series, comics and games. The clothes are trendy and beautiful. Even her computer desktop is full of pictures of classical beauties cultivating immortals.

Xin Wan's eyes lit up when she saw so many colorful fabrics and satins in the room.

Li Yu looked at Xin Wan without any trace, and then looked away. When she looked away, her eyes were full of sarcasm and ridicule, and she really looked down on Xin Wan for being so inexperienced in the world.

Seeing her sister's curiosity, Xin Cui felt a little sad when she saw her bright eyes for the first time. She secretly thought that she could make money by doing embroidery in the future, so she would definitely buy new clothes for her sister and her mother.

Looking at the two people's shabby clothes, they were still very plain. They couldn't walk around in mourning clothes on the street, so the two wore the plainest clothes. Of course, they always had to do work on weekdays, so they often wore them like this.

Li Yu proudly took out her embroidery and said softly, "Shopkeeper Wen, take a look at my embroidery. I'm here to take care of it."

Xin Wan leaned over curiously, and looked up at a brightly dressed woman on the high counter. She had a lot of jewelry on her head and a gold bracelet on her wrist.

As for the one in the corner drinking tea, Xin Wan guessed that it was her man. After all, Yufeng Kingdom does not exclude women from doing business, but most of the big business owners must be the head of the family.

The wife usually helps guard the rear, looking after the store and so on.

And this cloth shop is mostly engaged in women's business, so it is not uncommon for a female shopkeeper, not to mention that there is a man from her family in charge of the shop.

"Well, that's right, Miss Li Yu's embroidery skills have improved, I've watched your embroidery come to life over the years.

Not bad, not bad, as per the old rules, I’ll give you 12 Wen. You are one of the few people in my store who charges a high price.

At present, there are only a few girls with good embroidery skills, who are also the pillars of my place, and one piece is only 20 Wen. "The female shopkeeper looked at the embroidery and was very satisfied, and praised Li Yu by the way.

Li Yu smiled shyly and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper Wen, for your willingness to accept my embroidery work and the high prices you have given me over the years. I am really grateful to you. Then I will take ten pieces today. I can't go out in winter. I will embroider it as soon as possible and send it to you."
