Jiang Zhimiao never knew that she had the ability to follow her words. She said she wanted to eat crispy fish before, but within half a day, she ate it.

When Wen Zhuqing came with fried crispy fish, she was doing embroidery, yes, embroidery.

After moving into the new home, there was no way to earn money at home. Seeing the Chuntao family selling tofu, Xu Yourong became anxious, so he embroidered some handkerchiefs and handkerchiefs day and night and sold them in the town to make money for the family. Add something to your home.

She tried to persuade her, but it was of no use. A person's determination can never be broken back, so her persuasion was useless, so she joined the embroidery camp.

Although she was a concubine in the Jiang Mansion, her popularity as a female has never failed. In total, she is eighty or nine years old.

The concubine's daughter was not valued by the master's family. Even if she went to school, it was just to make up for it. The legitimate son and daughter could learn to arrange flowers and drink tea, but in the eyes of the concubine's children, there was a gap in the middle.

I don’t know since when, it has been a custom in the government to attribute all seemingly noble things, such as flower arranging, tea tasting, horse riding, hammer hammering, etc. to the direct children, while female workers, which seem tedious and will not attract the limelight, are all The craftsmanship of a concubine can be learned by default.

Speaking of which, when she was a child, she was asked by Jiang Zhili to embroider a handkerchief. At that time, her embroidery skills were often lacking, and her embroidery looked completely different. After doing it once, she was severely scolded. Later, She never asked her to do anything again.

She has an embroidery age of eighty or nine years, which is good, but her embroidery skills are really mediocre, tangible and lackluster. This is Jiang Zhimiao's evaluation of her embroidery skills. The embroidery skills she can embroider are about the same, which is the best she can do.

Among the generation of the Jiang family, only Jiang Zhiyue is a good embroiderer. It is strange to say that, but a family of military generals has Jiang Zhiyue who is extremely talented in embroidery. When Su Huaiqing said that he would accept her as his apprentice, everyone was shocked. One jump.

Su Huaiqing, the authoritarian Su Xiu was offered to the palace, was a popular person in front of the Queen. Everyone who had been with her knew that this person was very arrogant and always had her eyes above her head. Of course, she also had this ability herself. .

For someone with such high vision to accept Jiang Zhiyue as his disciple, it shows how talented she is. She used to be envious of her talent and thought that if she could become her disciple, she would be able to get rid of being a concubine. Difficulty, but now that she has traveled to another world, her mood is much calmer.

It's hard to tell whether someone is gifted or not, just like Ge San. Looking at his glib expression, who would have known he was also good at playing the erhu with one hand.

According to Fang Huaihua, when he was young, his erhu playing was famous in the area for more than ten miles, and everyone loved to ask him to play a tune.

His pitch was accurate, his playing was good, he was very polite, and he was a promising young man. Who would have thought that after getting married, he would end up like this? Jiang Zhimiao sighed, deeply feeling that things in the world are impermanent.

She glanced at the handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks in her hand, and then at Xu Yourong's. After looking at it, she sighed again.

Speaking of which, her mother's talent was mediocre, but her persistence was the best. She had not been idle when she was learning these years, but the skills of mother and daughter could only be embroidered in a similar way.

After years of embroidering, Jiang Zhimiao can now show off the outline of a mandarin duck directly on the handkerchief without even needing to embroider it. This is all a subconscious behavior formed by her years of hard work.With one stitch, she knew where the next stitch should go. She embroidered quickly, but only she knew how much she suffered back then. Her ten fingers were full of holes, and she would shed tears if she thought too much.

"Mom, you have been sitting in the house embroidering all day, so you should take a break." Jiang Zhimiao put the newly embroidered handkerchief aside, picked up a new one and started embroidering it, and said with concern.

Xu Yourong was pretending to make money, so naturally she didn't feel tired. She smiled and said without raising her head, "Mom, I'm not tired. I'm just embroidering some handkerchiefs. It's much easier than the previous journey."

Embroidering a handkerchief is just a waste of time, and the previous journey was a waste of life. Not to mention being tired, if you are not careful, you may risk your life. Compared with that, embroidering some handkerchiefs is really easy. .

Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. After the New Year, they will be able to go to school in the Ming Dynasty to read and write. They don’t need to spend money on pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The family only has so much money. Once it is used up, it will be gone. She has no merit, and apart from embroidery, she really can't think of any way to make money.

Jiang Zhimiao paused, sighed and said: "Mom, how can this be compared with rushing on the road? Although this embroidery is a trivial matter, but embroidery that I see all day long takes a lot of attention and effort. I don't think it is any better than rushing on the road." easy."

Lowering his head for a long time caused pain in his cervical spine. Xu Yourong pinched his neck, stopped his sewing, looked at her and said with a smile: "Silly boy, making money is not easy. Look at your brother Mingzhu, he went to town Is it easy to work on the job? He is alone and unfamiliar with the place, so I am afraid he will be more tired than you and me."

"In this world, as long as it's a profitable business, there's nothing that's not tiring. It's either effortless or effortless. I don't have the strength, so I can only sit at home and do some unproductive work."

Jiang Zhimiao felt a little depressed. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "But I don't want you to do these laborious tasks. It takes several days to embroider a handkerchief, but it can only be sold for a few cents. If the market is not good, I'm afraid the price will be lowered. I think it's not worth it for you to waste so much effort on embroidery."

As she spoke, her eyes brightened, and she raised her eyes and said, "How about you stop embroidering this batch of handkerchiefs after you finish embroidering them. This is a good time to relax and spend all day embroidering at home. I'm afraid my spine is going to be broken. I'm going to go ice fishing in a few days, and you can go there too, okay, mom~"

Xu Yourong glanced at the handkerchief at hand and had only embroidered a third of it. She paused. Before she could say her rejection, she saw her looking at him with a pitiful expression.

Her heart softened, she sighed helplessly, and immediately relaxed: "Okay, my mother will go with you then, but can ice fishing really catch fish? Is it just a gimmick? If it's useless, It took me half a day to catch anything, and there was a lot of cold wind blowing, so I’m afraid I’m going to get sick.”

Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Zhimiao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "It's not a gimmick. Didn't Wen Zhuqing send a few fish over? They have all caught them. Is it possible that I can't catch them? Don't worry, I can definitely catch better than others." There are many people around.”

She put down her handkerchief, patted her chest, and added: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we will make more crispy fish to eat. It won't go bad. Even if we make it now, we can eat it after the New Year."

Jiang Zhimiao said with a longing look on her face, which made Xu Yourong laugh for a while.

"Hey, I just said I was going to make crispy fish, but I smelled something like crispy fish." She sniffed in the direction of the scent with her nose raised, and said, "It smells so good."
