Chapter 65 The thought of breaking up the family [3]

Then she took Mrs. Zou's hand, and said to He Sanniang: "Mother, this is the aunt I told you about. Her husband's family name is Li. Aunt Li is very kind to me. The last time the snack was made by my aunt I took it back!"

"This eldest sister, I can see you!" He Sanniang thought that Tao Hua's skills were taught by this haggard woman with a vicissitudes of life in front of her, so she couldn't help respecting her even more!

Zou was at a loss, it was the first time she was called big sister by such a glamorous person!Besides, why does she look at herself so strangely?

Tao Hua hurriedly supported Zou and explained: "Auntie, the town is sorry, my mother rarely goes out to meet people..."

Tao Hua did not lie about this point, Mrs. Zou was busy with many things all the year round, and in her free time, except for winter, she would let him go to the streets to help sell things.

Mrs. Zou also hurriedly squeezed out a forced smile, but no matter how you looked at it, it was a bit more deliberate and reserved!Compared with the very casual Tao Hua beside her, He Sanniang frowned indistinctly!But soon she thought of something, she let go of her frowning brows, and said with a smile again: "Sister, Hua'er and I have known each other for a long time, she is a very good child, she calls me aunt, you and I , Aren’t you sisters? Come to me, don’t be cautious. Let’s go, let’s go to the back hall, Xiao Cai, there’s a guest calling me!”

Xiao Cai is the waiter hired by the Li family's silk thread shop.Usually He Sanniang came to discuss business, but how could a woman like He Sanniang do such chores as unloading?So, I hired a mistress to help run errands and do some physical work!

Tao Hua led Zou Shi and followed He Sanniang into the back hall.He Sanniang went to the kitchen herself, brought a few plates of snacks and snacks, and poured three cups of tea quickly.He handed a cup to Mrs. Zou, and said with a smile, "Sister, my boudoir name is Sanniang, you can call me Sanniang." Then she looked at Tao Hua, "Hua'er, you are cooked by yourself, take it and eat it. Don't be polite to your aunt, you know?"

With such treatment, Zou felt uneasy even with the tea in his hand!First of all, Hua'er in their family is not masked today... Tao Hua was brought up by her alone. In the past, no matter where she went, people would look at them strangely or say annoying words... How could she speak so softly and be so enthusiastic? Can you bear it?
Perhaps sensing Zou's strange eyes, Tao Hua looked at her in confusion, and asked her with her eyes, what's wrong?
"Sister, do you think I might have some bad intentions? Otherwise, Hua'er... To be honest, I ran back and forth between the county and the town. What kind of people have I never met? People like Hua'er, I But it was the first time I saw it... I am not afraid to tell my eldest sister that when Hua'er appeared in front of me for the second time, apart from being a little surprised, I was still amazed! I can't even believe that Hua'er can do this at such a young age. so powerful..."

Tao Hua was very embarrassed for the first time, and she still suppressed a sense of fear and worry in her heart. She was afraid that Mrs. Zou would ask her in front of He Sanniang how she could embroider so well!

Mrs. Zou didn't ask. Instead, hearing what He Sanniang said, her eyes became more and more relieved. She reached out and gently stroked Tao Hua's hair. Her yellow and rough hair was in the palm of her callused , a mess.It's not that Tao Hua didn't comb her hair, but because she lacked nutrients for a long time and her hair was dry, she looked like this!

He Sanniang thought that Mrs. Zou was the same as her, so she felt relieved at the moment.She was very happy and said to Tao Hua: "Hua'er, I'm going to the county this time, and I'll sell your screen!" Then, she untied her purse from her waist and threw it on the table.The purse collided with the table, making two familiar and seductive sounds, and everyone's eyes turned to it, "I knew you would definitely come today, look, I've packed all the money for you! Hua'er , you trust me, and I will not hide it from you. I bought that thing for 180 taels of silver, and I picked up 20 taels of silver. The remaining 80 taels, my aunt will treat it as a good relationship with you, haha, I Just run around."

When Mrs. Zou heard this, she gasped! 180 taels of silver?She grew up so big, she had never seen so much silver!According to what He Sanniang said, she picked up 20 taels of silver, that is to say, there were 160 taels of silver in the purse!

Zou looked at her daughter subconsciously, but she saw Hua'er frowning, her beautiful eyes full of doubts!
Tao Hua remembered very clearly that the price of something like a screen was simply impossible!Although she made a relatively small screen, its price is at least 300 taels just because of the name of Suzhou Embroidery!What's more, the patterns she embroidered... In her previous life, she was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The patterns she embroidered are so exquisite, how could it be possible that they were only more than 100 taels?
Seeing Tao Hua frowning, He Sanniang couldn't help pursing her lips, but she was even more surprised in her heart!Suzhou embroidery, this girl is not only proficient in Suzhou embroidery, but also understands the market.It's a good thing I didn't lie to her, otherwise...she would have lost such a skilled little girl with a limitless future!

"Hua'er, there aren't many people in the county who know Su embroidery... This is after I found someone to prove it... I'm really sorry..." Speaking of this, He Sanniang felt both angry and helpless!Those people are also true, they are holding the treasure mountain, but they don't know it.She was even thinking that when they really knew what it was and wanted to come to her to buy it... then she must raise the shelf higher.

Tao Hua was taken aback for a moment, then smiled knowingly!She should have thought that this place is so remote, she was very lucky to meet He Sanniang, if it was a different person, she probably didn't even know what it was, so what would be the value?

"Auntie, in fact, you don't have to mind!" Tao Hua smiled calmly, "I didn't think of it myself! If that's the case, I'll try to embroider as little as possible...Auntie, this time I got two bobbins..."

"Hua'er, I found that you are very talented in this area... How about this, you make me clothes... Just give me a dress in a few days... I want the pattern you embroidered on the screen... ..." He Sanniang is very shrewd, the value of Su embroidery is far more than that, but unfortunately, their place is too small, few people know this thing!Instead of this, it's better to make clothes!

What He Sanniang didn't know was that her few words made Tao Hua suddenly enlighten again!

Yangzhou in her previous life was the most prosperous city other than the capital, where silk, satin, jewelry...all kinds of things are dazzling. She used to wear gorgeous and fresh clothes, combed the most popular hairstyles, and carried the latest novelties. Jewelry... When it comes to making clothes, it can be said to be at your fingertips.
