Chapter 11: Start embroidering

"Pui, I knew that bitch wasn't honest. She must be selling herself in town, otherwise where would the silver come from? Fortunately, I divorced her early, otherwise, the reputation of my Tian family would have been ruined by her."

Even a long-tongued woman like Zhou Dushi felt ashamed of Tian Li Shi's words. Such a big person, what words couldn't be said, what hats couldn't be put on others.

"No, it's Lu Shopkeeper of the embroidery manor who took her in. Now she is working inside."

Tian Li Shi felt uncomfortable when she heard this, and felt annoyed listening to Zhou Dushi's chatter.

"Whether she lives well or not has nothing to do with me. If you have this energy to talk to me here, why not go to her maiden home and tell her parents? Living well herself, but not caring about her maiden home, what a thing!"

"Aunt, she is learning embroidery with Lu Shopkeeper, and helping in the shop. She earns at least several hundred wen a month. Once she finishes her apprenticeship, just one piece of embroidery can cover a family's food for a year. Your family lost a money tree."

Tian Li Shi felt even worse when she heard this. "Go, go, hurry home and cook. Don't add trouble to me here."

"Aunt, I came to remind you out of kindness?"

"Don't want it. Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll drive you away?"

Zhou Dushi stood up angrily, her chest heaving.

"It's not the time when Aunt looks for me, humph!"

She was a junior, so naturally, she couldn't fall out with Tian Li Shi, and didn't dare to fall out with her, so she returned home angrily.

In the village head's house, dinner was very rich because the youngest son returned from town.

"Father, Mother, son saw a woman in the shop today who looked like Tian family's youngest daughter-in-law. If it weren't for her being dressed well, I would have been afraid of recognizing the wrong person."

"Half a month ago, she asked the Tian family for a divorce letter and left. It might be her."

"Then saying so, it's very likely her?"

"Fine, eat, don't mention her. Mentioning her makes me angry. Never seen such a person, saying nothing worked, insisting on separating from Sanzhuang. Since she met a noble person, then the household register and such, don't need me, let her handle it herself."

Qiao Mai didn't idle for the two days she was waiting. After eating at home in the morning, she ran to the restaurant at noon.

She wasn't greedy, but wanted to taste the taste of the restaurant's food in ancient times.

She ordered two signature dishes of the restaurant and a bowl of rice. This meal was eaten with heartache and heartache.

Neither of the two dishes satisfied her. Besides the good color matching, to be honest, it was too hard to eat, and the price was expensive.

She turned her head to look at those diners, eating so fragrantly.

Couldn't help but doubt, was it because her mouth was picky?

Resignedly paid the bill, came out of the restaurant, saw roasted chicken for sale, and braised meat for sale, bought a chicken, bought half a jin of braised meat, let the shopkeeper cut it and pack it, and carried it home.

Returning home, she bolted the door, placed the two dishes on the kang table, and took out a bottle of Erguotou from the space.

First picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewed it, swallowed it hard, and hurriedly blew a mouthful of white wine against the bottle, finally suppressing that evil taste.

Truly couldn't eat it, threw it directly into the freezer in the space to freeze.

Then took two bags of drunken peanut beans, two bags of pickled chicken feet, and pickled pig skin from the space, opened the bags, and ate them.

After turning around in the small town for these two days, she found that the business opportunities were truly too many.

After all, ancient times were too backward, with too few seasonings for food, the taste wasn't right. In terms of drinking, besides water, there was tea or wine, it seemed there was nothing else. In terms of clothing, weaving technology was poor, density wasn't enough, colors were few, especially embroidery thread, only those few types, don't know if it was cheap goods imported by Lu Sanniang, or other reasons. Anyway, she couldn't look at any of them. Couldn't help but miss the past, feeling the benefits of everywhere.

Qiao Mai also knew her vision was high, but who told her to like ancient times? Isn't it just liking its good air, no pollution, liking its classical beauty?

Of course, you have to accept its backwardness. Everywhere, there are pros and cons.

She sighed, ate all the food, drank half a bottle of white wine. It seemed this body was quite capable of drinking, her head wasn't dizzy at all, and her legs weren't soft at all.

Turned her head to look outside, the sky was gradually darkening, no one would come anymore, flashed into the space.

Threw the food bag in her arms, entered the room, saw the child gnawing her hand with her eyes open, and she smiled.

Walked up to her, wanted to talk to her, she was still small, estimated she couldn't hear, wanted to tease her but couldn't, too weak and small, she usually didn't dare to touch this little thing.

Changed her clean diaper, fed her milk, held the swaddling clothes, and gently patted her back.

"Baby, oh, you grow up quickly, Mother is still a flower girl, raising a baby without experience, seeing you makes me feel scared."

"Baby, oh, what name should I give you? Mother hopes you grow up safe and healthy. How about Ankang? Uh, you are a girl, this name is too masculine. How about Qiao Wanling? Little name Ling'er, hmm, the name is not bad, gentle and spiritual, quite good, just it!"

After naming her, she placed her on the bed, lay next to her, and fell asleep before long.

The space made her relax, drinking a little wine made her relax even more, the child also slept soundly without bothering her, and she slept until the sun was high.

Opening her eyes, she couldn't believe it, she could actually sleep until this time.

Hurriedly took care of the child, coaxed her to sleep, and Qiao Mai flashed out of the space.

Washed and cleaned, then ran a dozen laps around the house, practiced a set of boxing, broke into a sweat, hurriedly waited in the space for a while, and cleared the sweat stains on her body.

Took a piece of instant noodles, a ham, and several large shrimp out.

Cooked a luxury version of instant noodles for herself in the kitchen, ate it, saw the weather was good, put the embroidery in an exquisite basket, carried it on her arm, locked the courtyard gate, and went to Ruyi Embroidery Manor.

The shop had just opened for a while, Lu Shopkeeper saw her coming, and hurriedly waved at her.

"So early?"

"This is already late. Before, I got up before dawn, now I don't need to work and only care about myself, being able to sleep until this time is already content."

"You, you are just a life of working. Did you stay up late yesterday?"

"No, just couldn't sleep and had insomnia."

Qiao Mai found a place that didn't hinder, sat down, took out the work from the basket, and started embroidering.

When there was work to do, time passed truly fast. In a flash, the sky darkened.

Didn't eat in the morning or noon, didn't feel hungry, all focused on the embroidery. If the courtyard gate hadn't rung, she would still be embroidering.

Opened the door, saw Lu Shopkeeper, Qiao Mai smiled.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"You said you would take the cloth from the cloth store today, so I wanted to come over and see."

"Where are Ruxin and the others?"

"Went home."

Qiao Mai welcomed her into the room, and the two sat on the kang table. Lu Shopkeeper picked up her embroidery.

"Oh, started embroidering as soon as you got it back?"

"Yes, I've been eating Sister's food for twenty days, can't do nothing, right?"

"How is your body?"

"Much better, just no problem at all."

"Don't embroider at night, it's very harmful to the eyes."

"Got it."

Lu Shopkeeper looked at the embroidery frame, didn't even raise her head. It seemed she was very satisfied with this embroidery. Qiao Mai used an afternoon to embroider a butterfly. Regardless of color matching or embroidery skills, it made her very satisfied.

"Tsk tsk, this cloth, paired with this embroidery skill, truly amazing."

"I'll bring the embroidery to the shop to embroider later. If Ruxin and Ruyi also embroider, I can also give them some pointers, as long as they don't dislike it."

"Baby, help remind me of typos, my eyes are tired from proofreading."
