The skilled widow is busy farming

On the way back, Yulan asked Xiaoli, "Did they ask about tapestry and embroidery?"

Girls always have to learn a little bit of embroidery, so it’s not surprising to ask.

"Well, seeing how beautiful my tapestry weaving was, and asking a lot of questions, I just promoted the embroidery house a few times, without mentioning sir. I didn't dare agree to weave such a difficult picture for him."

Xiaoli was so frightened that she waved her hands and explained again and again.

She is a Kesi student, so of course she knows how hard it is, and how can she dare to make unreasonable promises.

"I know, but my aunt can't knit anymore, and it's hard for my sister to knit."

"Sister-in-law, if you don't mind, I can knit it."

Xiaoli was also taught step by step by Xiu Niang. She is a very perceptive child. She has been learning for almost six years and can do ordinary small pictures.

"Fool, this business is too hard. This is the ability to make a living. I won't let you work so hard unless necessary, but you can't let your skills fall behind. I know it's not easy for you here. Let's do this. You make the tapestry drawings and I'll give them to you. If I take it to the embroidery house and sell it, it will also help you save money for your dowry, okay?"

"Okay, we do."

The three children happily agreed.

This is the tradition of the Li family. They do not support idle people. The girl also makes her own money to save some dowry money, so there is no shame.Although Qing'er and Yingzi were married by their elders, they still worked on their own. After their marriage, they still continue to weave tapestry silk and use it to support the embroidery house.

"Don't be too tired. Start by making small pieces such as handkerchiefs and ribbons. If you weave quickly, you can make a lot of money."

"it is good."

With the sister-in-law's approval, the three girls were very happy. Being able to make money on their own would not make them feel that they were taking advantage of their brother and sister-in-law for nothing.

I don't have any money at home, so I can't give my brother and sister-in-law a small gift to express my love during the holidays. Money is needed everywhere in the capital, and gifts and rewards also cost money. The rewards are always prepared by my sister-in-law before I go out.

The three girls told Yulan about the friends they had made and arranged to write letters.

Magnolia smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.

When she got home, Yulan reported it to her sister-in-law.

Xiaoya smiled after hearing this, "You are right not to agree. My aunt is old and she must not be tired anymore. My brothers were raised by my aunt herself. In fact, in my heart, the status of my aunt and my mother-in-law is the same. Qian We must not touch the bottom line, otherwise the king of heaven will not be able to protect us even if he comes. As long as we take good care of my mother-in-law and aunt, even if we make a big mistake, my aunt will be able to speak for us."

"Yes, I also consider that my aunt is young and cannot bear the burden. If she dares to make arbitrary promises, the second master will have to eat me."

Yulan also covered her mouth and smiled.

"Let them choose on their own. It's just to take advantage. How can anyone in serious business let children talk about things? If they want to buy something, they will go to the embroidery building to talk about it. Our embroidery building and weaving workshop have gained the reputation of my aunt, and they are stubborn. Weaving workshop If you can provide raw materials yourself, you won’t be afraid of anyone.”

"I really admire my aunt. She figured it out step by step. Taking this raw material as an example, it was a bit redundant to make raw silk and cooked silk at that time. But I didn't expect that now, we are in an invincible position. , it also provides an additional income, allowing the tribesmen to have more jobs to earn money to support their families, which is really great."

"No, I bought Zhuangzi two years ago to specialize in raising silkworms and spinning silk."

"My mother also admires my aunt very much. She said that she is a Zhuge among girls and a hero among women. I only found out after listening to my mother's words. In Qingliu, the ladies in the capital all admire my aunt very much. Our men have fallen in love with my aunt. Light."

"The daughter's family is also in the favor of the aunt. Why do you think the three clan girls can let the Lu family nod and enter the banquet? Because their husband is the aunt, not someone else, and deserves to be looked at highly."

Xiaoya has been living in the capital for several years and has grown very fast. Those years in her hometown were not in vain. Xiu Niang taught her step by step how to be a clan wife. The more important thing is to learn how to be a royal servant, see the overall situation and be fresh. Self-awareness, don't move forward blindly, find out the position of yourself and your family, this is the real clan wife.

"You're right, that's why Xiaoli was invited by friends so quickly."

"Well, please give the girls a few words to keep them from drifting off."

"Xiaoli has a calm temper. She said it herself. Without my aunt's guidance, they wouldn't even be able to get in. I said they could take the tapestry and sell it at the embroidery house to make money. The children were very happy."

"Well, these few are indeed more sensible and worry-free. Let's find a suitable in-law, so that our hard work in this life will not be in vain."

"Yes."

Xiaoli and the others didn't know what their sister-in-law was talking about, so the three of them decided to work together to weave a kang screen, slightly larger than usual, so that they could sell it for more money, and the three of them could share it equally, so the hard work would not be in vain.The handkerchief and ribbon are indeed faster, but the three children have other ideas in mind and still want to weave pictures.

The three of them chose for a long time, and finally decided to copy the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists.

"Sister, whoever draws the picture, you draw it."

"I'm not good at painting either. This picture has to be beautiful to be outstanding. In the past, it was our husband who painted it and we copied it."

Xiaoli tilted her head and lay on the bed with her sisters, thinking.

"Sister, let Brother Chun draw the pictures, and we will be responsible for weaving. Brother's paintings have been praised by many people."

"Yes, why did I forget about him and let Brother Qun mention the words?"

Xiaoli giggled proudly.

"Can Brother Qun agree?"

"I can definitely agree, it depends on me."

The next day, Xiaoli talked to her sister-in-law and went to visit Xu Jing, saying she was looking for her brothers to paint a painting.

It was only a few steps away. It was close, so Xiaoya asked the maid to send him there.

"Third sister-in-law, we are here to bother you."

Xiaoli brought snacks and duck in sauce bought on the street to see her sister-in-law.

"Sister is here, come quickly. I even asked someone to invite you to my house to play."

Xu Jing saw her sister coming and greeted them happily.

"Sister-in-law, we want to weave tapestry pictures, and we want to ask my brother to draw a picture, and let my third brother write a few words."

"What's the matter? How big do you want to knit? Don't be too tired."

"Originally, the second sister-in-law said that we could just make handkerchiefs and ribbons, which would not be tiring, but in our hearts we still wanted to weave pictures and practice our skills. The three of us sisters were taught by our husband step by step, so we were not convinced. We planned to join forces. Weave a good-looking picture and send it to the embroidery studio to win fame, who is worse than the other?"

Xiaoli rubbed her neck with an arrogant expression on her face, which was very rare.

Xu Jing pinched her little cheek and said, "Okay, let your fourth brother draw a picture for you. He will be back in a while."

"Sister-in-law, let my brother wait for us to go out for a walk tomorrow. We haven't been out for almost a month since we arrived. The sisters-in-law are too busy and we are embarrassed to speak."

"Okay, no problem. It just so happens that your two brothers are both resting tomorrow. I'll take you to the market to play."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Xiaoli and the other three were extremely happy.

After a while, Brother Chun came back with his schoolbag on his back and saw his three sisters smiling.

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, you three must have something to ask me for."

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Jing's sister-in-law couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, third brother, you are the best. Help us copy a famous calligraphy and painting. We three sisters will knit a picture and send it to the embroidery house to earn some pocket money."

"Oh, I just said you can ask me for anything, hum! Pour some tea."

Brother Chun raised his neck and walked in a arrogant way that he wouldn't recognize even his relatives, making his sisters giggle and pull him to play coquettishly.
