My villa can pass through

"Did you draw it?"

Du's father flipped through it a few times, and found it incredible. He didn't expect that the daughter is not only literate, but also can draw.

"Well, Dad, remember to bring back the blueprint, let Master Wei take a closer look at it first, but you can't leave the blueprint to him."

Let me tell you so that the old man will not forget.

"Well, I won't leave it to him." After finishing speaking, Du's father carefully folded the drawings and put them in his arms, took his eldest brother Du Caisheng away from home, and went to the next village to find Wei Wajiang.

Xu Yuanyuan washed her hands and was going to continue working, but Du's mother said, "Yuan'er, sit down for a while, mother will talk to you."

Xu Yuanyuan pulled a chair and sat down obediently, "Mom, tell me."

Du's mother tightly held her daughter's white and tender hands, lamenting that life has been half a day, but it just didn't get into the theme.Xu Yuanyuan was in a hurry, she was in a hurry to embroider, she was in a hurry, she didn't have time to sigh with Du's mother here, but she didn't show it on the face.Talk to Du Mu patiently.

She paddled the whole way, always saying "um, ah, oh, it's amazing, it will get better slowly."

About half an hour later, Du's mother got to the point, "Yuan'er, you, you, you, can you teach me your embroidery skills?"

Xu Yuanyuan understood, and glanced at the sister-in-law sitting outside under the eaves and the little nieces who went out to hunt pigweed or play around.

"Yes, but they can't learn for the time being. The young ones can't even hold the needle steadily. The older ones do a lot of housework, so their hands must be a little rough. First, soak them in hot water every day to nourish them.

Don't let them do housework, good embroiderers can't hang silk on their hands.Use coarse cloth when you have nothing to do, and practice ordinary needlework first. "

"Okay, don't do housework." After Du Mu finished speaking, she shouted to the outside again, "Come in."

Nine people came in with a whoosh, and all of them rushed in.

"Thank you, little sister." Sister-in-law Liao thanked her first when she came in.

"It's okay, big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law. In the past year, the nieces in the family have not been able to do housework. After learning some basics, they can only do housework occasionally. You can't let them learn embroidery while learning Instruct them to do housework, and then don't blame me for not giving face."

Let's talk about the ugly words first.

Thinking of some others, I continued to add, "By the way, the nieces are learning the needlework fabrics for practice, and the sister-in-laws prepare them themselves, and I can't wrap them."

Someone couldn't hold back for a moment, and came out angrily, "Little sister, you are not short of that little money. It's nothing if you do good deeds. They are all your nieces, and you can't be too cold (stingy, stingy) .”

It was the second sister-in-law He Shi who spoke. As soon as the words came out, Xu Yuanyuan's face pulled down instantly, and she glanced at the rest of the people, "If that's the case, don't learn from your second sister-in-law Qinglan. I can't teach you, With a mother like you who doesn't know what's good or bad, I'm afraid to teach a white-eyed wolf.

If you have nothing to do, go out to inquire about it, go out to learn embroidery skills, you need to pay something, and you have to do something for the master with a low eyebrow.In this way, you may not be able to learn the real thing.

I won't accept it..."

After speaking, Xu Yuanyuan got up and left, regardless of what the rest of the people thought.

Mother Du hummed angrily, the second child was too greedy, she took a sharp look at Mrs He, and said, "If the three of you also came up with this idea, take it as soon as possible and let your daughter learn from Yuan'er." Embroidery thing.

What a beautiful idea, I really think Yuaner owes you something? "

"Mother, I didn't think so. I should prepare it myself." The other three sighed secretly. They didn't have a separate family and didn't have many private houses. They could make their own clothes, but they didn't know exquisite embroidery skills, and they couldn't earn the money to embroider handkerchiefs.

The private money of each house in the family is when the farm is slack, and the men of each go to the city to find temporary jobs, and half of the scattered money they earn has to be handed over to the public.

There are private houses, but not many, which are spent on the girls, and no matter what happens at home, they will not be able to come up with money in the future.

With a sad look on his face, he didn't say he didn't want to.According to what the second family said, the younger sister will not teach Qinglan.

After Xu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she was fine. She sat under the eaves embroidering, and several children gathered around to watch. She only dared to stand behind and dared not speak out.

Time is like running water, and it is more than a month in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yuanyuan also went to Fucheng on the way, and brought back some red sandalwood wood for the frame.

Embroidered, framed and installed by yourself.

A person rattled and knocked in the house for two days before going out, except for eating, she was inside the house.Occasionally when I get tired and go out for a walk, I close the door casually.

Mostly indoors.

The construction site next door was in full swing, and various custom-made items were installed one after another, such as flush toilets, improved kitchens, stoves, stoves, and so on.

Master Wei stares at the construction site every day, and he has to check everything.Customized extra-thick and oversized pottery pipes, as well as custom-made thick floor tiles laid inside the house, etc.Everything is so new to him, never seen before.

How to dig and build flush toilets is new.

He has never seen it before, so he has to learn from it.

Doing while learning, Du's girl's brains don't know how to grow, but she can think of such a way by herself.

His brain really can think farther than a man who has been a mason for many years.

The tiles, bricks, courtyard doors, etc. of the home are all custom-made.Thickened and bold, not strong enough, it looks like it can be used for hundreds of years.

The well was also dug deep, very deep.

Wei Bricklayer was also convinced, the wood and the furniture used in the house were all purchased by the owner himself, even the courtyard door.

For the first time, I felt that I was building a ten thousand year house.

The person who installed the picture of Guanyin in the house walked out and locked the door.

"Mother, I'm going to the next door." I remembered it when I was walking in the yard, and hurriedly shouted.

"Go ahead and be careful."

"Well, yes." Lunch is being made at home, and the kitchen is bustling with activity.

Every morning, the butcher in the village sends a small half of pork.The Du family provided two meals a day for those who built the house, lunch and dinner.

There is meat every meal, and the mouths of those who eat the meal are full of oil.

Xu Yuanyuan taught her sisters-in-law how to cook pork, pig offal, and offal.

Now the sister-in-laws in the family are very good at cooking, and they can use their brains to come up with new recipes.

The smell of meat at home wafts over Luoxi Village every day.The children in Wen's village pout their mouths and clamor for meat all day long.

Go to the next door and go directly to the kitchen. Each yard has its own kitchen and bathroom. There are underground pipes extending in all directions underneath, which are directly discharged into the cesspit far outside the backyard.

The cabinets in the kitchen have been placed according to various functions.

"Miss Du is here." A mason from Master Wei's side hurriedly greeted Xu Yuanyuan.

"Well, hello, Master Li. It's getting better soon."

"Come on, in a few days, it will all be finished."

Master Li has been working in many mansions for many years, but the most comfortable one is the Du family who is not a wealthy family.

It is better to eat two meals a day than when working in a rich family.

After wandering around for a couple of times, Xu Yuanyuan talked to Father Du and left.

After coming back for so long, she hasn't walked around the village much.

Looking into the distance, Xu Yuanyuan still turned around and went back to Du's house.Raise your spirits, tomorrow I will go to the city with my third brother.

It took more than a month to embroider two large embroidered pictures, the double-sided one, the one of Tao Mansion, and the one side is based on the appearance of the old lady of Tao Mansion, the Guanyin Bodhisattva, sitting on the lotus platform, smiling Images of beings.On the other side is a sea of ​​bamboo, with auspicious clouds floating in the sky, and fairy mist lingering. The scene where Avalokitesvara takes the boys and girls to collect fairy dew in the sea of ​​bamboo.

The boy and girl are the grandma's two sons and daughters now.

Grandmother Liu has married into the mansion for four years and has already given birth to a pair of children. The eldest son is three years old and the eldest daughter is two years old.

One embroidered picture, with two different scenes, included everyone she wanted to sell well.As for the other masters of the Tao Mansion, she can't take care of them for the time being.She didn't plan to take it into consideration, when she was in Tao's house, she started working in the old lady's yard.

Later, she got older, and when she was 11 years old, she was transferred to the grand granny's home that was about to enter the door.The ones she has the most contact with are the old lady and the grandma.

The original owner was the lucky one.

In the evening, Du's father repeatedly told the third child, "Wait at the door when you go, don't run around. Leave as soon as your little sister comes out. Also, your little sister may have to spend a lot of time in Tao Mansion, so don't wait impatiently." .”

The third child could only keep nodding his head, "Don't worry, Dad, I won't run around, no matter how long it takes, I will always wait for my little sister."

If Father Du hadn't built his daughter's house yet, he would definitely go there by himself.

The daughter said that she had finished building her house, so she demolished the main house of the old house, and built him a house with gray bricks, black tiles, and white walls. There are five rooms in total. The main room is in the middle, with rooms on both sides, and the kitchen on the left. On the right is the bathroom.

The bathroom is named after my daughter.

Say it politely.

Let him and the old woman live in a good house in the future, and the other houses in the family will be replaced with tiles. He knows that those tiles are thick tiles specially customized by his daughter, and they are strong.

Thinking of everything the old girl did after she returned home, Father Du's heart naturally turned towards her.

There are also farmers like him in the surrounding area, and there are girls who were sold during the two years of severe drought in the family. Some of them returned home, and there were those who shamelessly climbed into the bed of the male master and became aunts, but none of them were like their own girls. .

Although some of them did not have female households, they were more picky than those who established female households, and they were very reluctant to part with their family members.

The old man didn't know that the big families those women went to were not big families in the eyes of the Tao Mansion, at best they were small households with a little money in the market.

Such a family can let the maid save some money, so what can she do if she climbs into the master's bed.How much money can be saved, the mistress of the mansion is not a vegetarian.

The original owner's money has already been spent, and now it is all Xu Yuanyuan's money.The explanation to my parents is that I have been selling embroidery and saved a lot of money.

Otherwise, everyone is suspicious.

Du's mother and Du's father explained to others in this way that many women in the village came to watch Xu Yuanyuan's embroidery, and those who finished watching Xu Yuanyuan pursed their lips tightly, not wanting to speak.Envy, envy and hate, why does someone else's daughter have such good luck.

Entering a rich family also learned a good skill.

Afterwards, everyone came to beg for their daughters and granddaughters to be apprentices.

Xu Yuanyuan didn't accept it, not because she was stingy, but because she really didn't have time.

There are five nieces in the family.

In addition, the most important thing at present is to earn money and teach apprentices, so I don't have time.

At least not this year.

Several companies with excellent relations also pushed back, saying that we will talk about it after winter.

The patriarch's family also has the original owner's uncle's family. Even if the uncle's family is noisy every day, they still have to teach, but they have to restrain themselves and learn from teachers.

Waking up early at night, Xu Yuanyuan wore a newly made green skirt.It is now mid-June and the weather is hot.Wearing a skirt is the best choice. The thin ice silk fabric is not too soft and not see-through, and it is cool to wear.

Early in the morning, Xu Yuanyuan set off after dressing up.Du's mother and Du's father were worried and followed the bullock cart to the entrance of the village.

Repeatedly remind the third child, take good care of the younger sister, it doesn't matter if you don't come back that day, don't hurry when it's dark, don't be reluctant to spend money.

Xu Yuanyuan bid farewell to her parents, two custom-made square baskets, two double-sided embroidered pictures were placed on them, and they were wrapped in cloth.

At the bottom is the handkerchief sachet she embroidered for the sisters who are close to Tao Fu, and the relationship needs to be maintained.

Two big bundles are packed in baskets.

When the bullock cart was on the village road, I met a person. Xu Yuanyuan had good eyesight and recognized the original owner's target: Duan Zhiyong.

The bullock cart overtook Duan Zhiyong, who was carrying a small bag, and Xu Yuanyuan turned to take a closer look at Duan Zhiyong.He has regular facial features, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a square face, which is the type that ancient women liked.

Not bad looking.No wonder the original owner wanted to continue his relationship with him, maybe not only he can be a general, but also this man looks good.

The moment he turned his head, Duan Zhiyong also raised his head, looked at the girl who turned back in front, and took a very serious look at the girl in front.

It's so beautiful, I remember it in my heart at a glance.

"Hey..." Du Caiyi also saw Duan Zhiyong, stopped the ox cart, looked back, "Yongzi, where are you going?"

"Brother Yi, I'm going to Fucheng, how about you?"

"Go to Fucheng too, you know how to drive an ox cart?" Du Caiyi asked.

"meeting."

"Get in the car, you come to drive the car, don't mind?" Du Caiyi said.

"I don't mind." Duan Zhiyong seized the opportunity, he knew it was the best, he couldn't drive Du Caiyi in front, he sat in the back, it's not good to be alone.Even if the bullock cart is just a frame and there is no shed behind it, it is not very good.

He stepped forward quickly and sat down in front. Xu Yuanyuan sat in the middle with Du Caiyi.

Along the way, Du Caiyi chatted with Duan Zhiyong, but Xu Yuanyuan didn't speak and listened quietly.

Duan Zhiyong didn't get out of the car until after entering the city gate, and without Xu Yuanyuan's guidance, Du Caiyi went straight to Tao's mansion.

"Third brother, let's go to Tongsheng Inn first, and I will open a room for you first. You don't need to bring all the embroidery, but leave one piece in the inn, and you can watch it for me in the room. I will go to Taobao alone. government."

"How about that, I have to send you to Tao Mansion."

Du Caiyi quit, his task was to escort the younger sister.What's the deal with being alone in an inn room?

Xu Yuanyuan said with a serious face, "Third brother, the embroidery is worth a lot of money. If you don't look at it, if it is stolen, you will pay me for it?"

Du Caiyi didn't understand this, he was a little flustered, and stammered, "Well, then, shall I go with the embroidered pictures?"

"No, I can't take it with me. I will tell the grandma, the other one is going to be sold to the embroidery workshop, so what's the matter with it? Don't spoil my good deeds, what do I say, what do you do, don't doubt it Or I'll go home and find my parents to scold you."

Xu Yuanyuan didn't want the third child to follow her, so she had to come back alone, and then pretended to meet some merchant and buy some strange things.

He followed, how could he pretend.

She thought about it, and if she couldn't do it, she let Wu Jia go, and Zou Fang came out to play a cameo before returning to the space.

Bring some things to pawn in the pawn shop, pass Ming Road, and then take out some by yourself, and say that you met a man and woman and bought it yourself.

There is a pawn shop to testify, so you can't doubt yourself.

At most, he just said that he was lucky.

After hearing the complaint, Du Caiyi had no choice but to say, "Okay, come back early. If we can, we will go back."

"Stay for one or two nights, and I have to go to the best embroidery workshop in Fucheng to buy some things. I can only go home after buying everything. What are you in a hurry for?"

Xu Yuanyuan would go back if she didn't want to. If she could successfully sell the other large embroidery and the two small vase double-sided embroidery she brought with her, she planned to buy a small courtyard in Fucheng and dozens of acres of fertile land in the suburbs. .

It will take a few days to finish these.

"Buy things, that's fine." He didn't understand, everything was decided by the younger sister.

Xu Yuanyuan showed the way, came to Tongsheng Inn, and opened two rooms.

Carrying a big bag in one hand and a rectangular object wrapped in cloth, he went to Tao's mansion.

Met an acquaintance at the corner gate and entered the mansion smoothly.

Grandma Liu had just finished dealing with some things, and her confidant mother came to report, "Madam, Li Xiang (the original owner's name in Tao Mansion) is here."

The eldest lady smiled, "Oh, let her in."

"Yes."

Nanny went out and brought Xu Yuanyuan in.

After coming in to salute and greet, the eldest wife Liu asked curiously, "Have you been back for a while? How are you doing?"

"Madam, thanks to you, you are doing well."

"You are just stubborn, or you are also the half master of Tao Mansion."

That's what the eldest wife said, but she still doesn't like maids climbing on the bed, and of course the original owner didn't take the initiative to climb on the bed.It was taken by the third master, but the original owner was unwilling.

For this reason, the eldest wife prefers the original owner who is unwilling, which is a good thing.

Xu Yuanyuan pretended to be terrified, and waved her hands again and again, "Madam, don't say that. I'm just a peasant girl, and I don't have the heart to climb high."

"Okay, I know what you mean. You have been in the mansion for many years, whether it is in the old lady's yard or my yard, the nuns have spoken very well of you. You are not the kind of vixen. You have something to do today, right? ?”

The eldest wife likes this kind of servant who can understand things clearly, which saves trouble.

Talking about the business, Xu Yuanyuan quickly said, "Yes, Ma'am, you know that when I was in the mansion, Master Qiao (the master embroidery master, who has passed away for three years) said that I have talent and ideas for embroidery.

After I went back some time ago, I had nothing to do, so I just wanted to put into action the ideas that I had discussed with Master Qiao but hadn't tried.I wanted to try it myself, but I didn't expect it to work.

I brought an embroidery picture and wanted to give it to my grandma.If the grandma can see it, she will accept it. "

After speaking, Xu Yuanyuan stood up and opened the rectangular object that had been placed on the small tea table beside her.

I used a clean cloth, wrapped three layers, and peeled off layer by layer.

Until the rectangular screen is exposed, continue to open the package, and a huge base is revealed.

The interstitial screen is placed on it, and it can also be rotated.

"It smells so good, it smells like a lotus flower." Next to Mrs. Liu, there is a screen installed by Xu Yuanyuan, which is so beautiful.

She glanced at Xu Yuanyuan over there in surprise, and then stared at the screen carefully, "Lixiang, how did you do it?"

"Madam, this, what should I say, I don't know how to say it, I will do it." With a bitter face, she pretended to be pitiful.

Looking at his wife pitifully, his little face was all wrinkled together.

Mrs. Liu was amused by the little girl's expression, and she laughed "Puff", "Okay, okay, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Well, thank you ma'am for your understanding. I really don't know what to say."

After speaking, he took a small sip of tea while holding the teacup.

There is also a small bag inside the bag, which is a handkerchief sachet embroidered for the sisters and mothers who are familiar in the house.

Xu Yuanyuan blinked at the nanny and the little sister she was familiar with, and she didn't make any trouble when she poked her forehead with a finger from the nanny.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Liu, also spotted it, she didn't say anything, but she was amused.Lixiang is a little monster, and she is also pretty good.

It shows that Lixiang who has gone back is quite close to the people in her yard.

As long as she doesn't break the rules and doesn't do bad things, Li Xiang is not someone who doesn't understand the rules of the Fuchu, and she won't say anything.

Let Lixiang play tricks.

The maid present was also funny, blinked her eyes, and said nothing.

After looking at the appearance of the mother-in-law Guanyin, and then looking at the pattern on the other side, Mrs. Liu was surprised and happy when she saw the two boys and girls. She opened her mouth wide, pointed and asked, "Lixiang, this is it?"

"Ma'am, of course it's my family's son and daughter. Do you look like it?" Xu Yuanyuan's words made Liu very happy, and it sounds like it's still my family.

"Like, like, really like. It's so beautiful, I'm not willing to give it to the old lady." Mrs. Liu really likes the screen in front of her, its atmosphere, and the closer you get, the more you can smell the lotus fragrance wafting from the screen.

Refreshing, straight into the viscera, comfortable all over.

"My wife likes it. I will embroider it for you again in the future. I will embroider an embroidery picture of my wife as the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and I will also embroider two boys and girls next to me, who are still princes and girls.

Just change to a playful picture, how about it? "

"Okay, I won't let you embroider for nothing, I'll pay you money, at the market price."

Liu actually wanted to embroider for her natal mother, but she knew that Li Xiang in front of her had never met her natal mother, so she might not be able to embroider.

Pressed down on this thought, but didn't say it.

"Madam, look at what you said, Lixiang is not the one who is open to money. Don't mention the matter of giving money. If the wife feels embarrassed, then the wife will pay for the money for the materials.

I went out to buy, and asked Madam Qi to follow.I bought at the front, and Nanny Qi followed behind to pay. "

"Okay, I see. Do you have any other embroidery products? If so, I can buy them as long as they are similar to this."

"Ma'am, I remember that there is no embroidery workshop in your dowry shop. I do have another picture, let my third brother look at it at the Tongsheng Inn, and plan to sell it at the embroidery workshop in the afternoon for some money."

Xiaoqiao's face was full of puzzlement and curiosity.

"I didn't have it before, but I bought a shop a month ago and opened an embroidery workshop next door to the cloth shop. I just need to buy goods from the store, and I'm looking for them. You just fall into the trap by yourself."

Mrs. Liu is also very funny, speaking in front of familiar people is very interesting.

"That's a good relationship. I don't worry about giving it to my wife's shop. I just need to fill in some embroidery materials."

"Later let Madam Qi accompany you to the embroidery workshop. By the way, what did you embroider on the other one?"

"A picture of mountains and rivers. There are different mountains and rivers on both sides, but together they form a complete picture."

That piece of embroidery, without any special bonuses, is just an ordinary double-sided embroidery with superb craftsmanship.

Shanshui embroidery is not a special customer, and she doesn't want to add special effects to it.

"Okay, if it's convenient, bring it to me to have a look first, and I'll set a price for you."

"Thank you ma'am, hee hee, my wife is the noble person in my life." After speaking, he opened the small bag and took out two pairs of small shoes.

Passed it to Gui Xiang, "Sister, I'm in trouble."

Guixiang checked first and found that there was no problem, and then handed it to his wife, Liu Shi. No need to guess, she knew who it was for.

The shoes are exquisite and meticulous, and his wife Liu is even more satisfied after seeing them, "I have a heart."

At this time, the whole house has been filled with a faint fragrance of lotus.

After coming and going, after finishing the work, before Xu Yuanyuan left, she also gave the two pairs of shoes she made for the old lady and two forehead wipes to his wife, Liu Shi, and asked her to help give them to the old lady, saying that she was filial to the old lady birthday gift.

Before leaving, she carried a few banknotes in her arms, and Nanny Qi went out with her to the embroidery workshop.Before Xu Yuanyuan left, she wandered around the old lady's courtyard, and even went outside the old lady's courtyard. Those who got the news all ran out.

After delivering the gift, he rambled reluctantly for a long time before leaving.Nanny Qi followed behind, rolling her eyes countless times, really chattering.
