Chapter 13: Will definitely keep it secret for you

She embroidered very slowly, letting the two girls watch carefully. The sisters already had a certain foundation in embroidery skills, just needing a little guidance.

One taught seriously, two learned carefully.

"Alright, you two find a piece of cloth and practice by yourselves first. Greed for more leads to poor digestion, learn this one first."

"Yes, Aunt Qiao!"

Lu Shopkeeper wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, moved,

"You say, why are you so generous? You just teach it like that. Such a good skill, teaching it to them, they should at least perform an apprenticeship ceremony for you. Teaching it so easily makes us look stingy."

"If you feel bad about it, then let them be my apprentices. Ruxin and Ruyi are both good children, and it would be quite nice to have them as my apprentices. However, I am a divorced woman; I'm afraid it might be bad for their reputation to be my apprentices."

"You didn't do anything wrong, so what's bad about the reputation? What does learning embroidery have to do with reputation? This apprenticeship must happen; it's settled."

As she spoke, Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly got up, went to the inner room to prepare tea, called the sisters in, gave them some instructions, and then the family of three came out.

The two performed the apprenticeship ceremony for Qiao Mai in a proper manner, and Qiao Mai gladly accepted these two apprentices.

She likes embroidery, but it's just her hobby. She couldn't do it for a living year after year. Accepting them is also a way to carry forward the embroidery skills she learned and, at the same time, repay Shopkeeper Lu for her kindness in recognizing her talent.

Shopkeeper Lu watched Qiao Mai accept her two daughters as apprentices, her eyes filled with tears of joy.

"Sister, I don't even know how to thank you."

"Sister Lu, why are you being so polite with me? Compared to life, this is nothing."

"Sister isn't a fool; I know what's light and what's heavy. In any case, sister sincerely thanks you."

"In front of the three of you, I won't say anything else. The fact that you have taken me as your master is something only we should know. You must not let it spread. In the eyes of outsiders, I am just a worker learning embroidery in the shop. You must not let it slip."

"Understood, we will definitely keep it a secret for you."

Before long, customers came to the shop, and Shopkeeper Lu began to get busy. Qiao Mai kept her head down and did her embroidery in the innermost corner.

Those who came to deliver work here were all girls and women from nearby villages, and people came every day.

The fact that Qiao Mai was working in the shop had spread like wildfire ever since Zhou Dushi recognized her that day.

At the same time, Qiao Mai's affairs were also being discussed as gossip in the town and various villages.

Coupled with Zhou Dushi's big mouth, some people who came to the embroidery shop to deliver work all craned their necks to look inside.

Usually, there were only three people in the embroidery shop. Now that there was a fourth person, and a young woman at that, everyone could probably guess who this person was.

"Hey, is that the Qiao woman inside who was almost tortured to death by the Tian family?"

"It must be. Didn't they say she was working at Shopkeeper Lu's shop? Shopkeeper Lu only has her two daughters here, so that must be her, right?"

Before long, a woman from Taohua Village came. Qiao Mai didn't know her, but someone else did.

The crowd immediately grabbed her and asked, "Hey, Zhang's wife, look, is that person inside from your village?"

Zhang's wife craned her neck to look inside and then curled her lips.

"If it's not her, then who is it? It's spread all over our village that the Qiao woman caught the eye of a noble person and is now working in the embroidery shop."

She just said, why was it there every time she poured water? At that time, she hadn't doubted it.

She seemed to have discovered another function of the space, which was keeping warm? No, also, also, she had been here for almost a month, the temperature in the refrigerator was still the same, and the freezer's too, which meant it not only kept warm, but also kept fresh.

Qiao Mai bit her lip, secretly thinking, before coming here, her space had a power generation system.

In her previous life, whenever she had time, she would connect the space's power cable to the socket outside to charge. At that time, the refrigerator, freezer, and computer were all using this system, and she could do whatever she wanted in the space.

But now? Ancient times had no electricity. Why were the refrigerator and freezer still operating normally?

Could it be that the space could also supplement the consumption of electrical energy?

If it was like this, then it was too powerful. This space was truly heaven-defying.

Qiao Mai patted her chest, calming her excited emotions. These functions were even more exciting than when she first activated the space.

She swallowed hard, took a deep breath, entered the room, came to the desk, and looked at the notebook on the table.

This was bought for tens of thousands in that place, fast speed, old cow.

She nervously opened the notebook, pressed the power button, didong, entered the main screen in three seconds.

Her hand holding the mouse was trembling, clicked on the browser, and silently prayed to the heavens, hoping it was the one she expected.

When she saw the images she had in mind, she stood up excitedly and ran outside the house to roar at the sky.

"Haha, awesome, awesome, space you are truly awesome, I admire you. This transmigration not only brought electrical energy, but also brought the internet. How did you do it?"

Qiao Mai was too happy, actually ran several laps between the house and the shelves, truly excited.

It wouldn't be boring in ancient times anymore. With the internet, she could search for ancient things online, and even if she wanted to cook, it was no problem.

Why be so awesome? What to do if I want to go crazy?

She couldn't believe all this was true, pinched herself hard.

"Sss, truly hurts."

She sat down at the table again, browsed the webpage, and paused at the shopping network. If things from that world could be mailed here, it would be great.

It seemed the express service hadn't reached such a level.

Sure enough, after clicking, she could see the goods, but in the buyer address column, no matter how she filled it, not a single word could go up.

It seemed this function needed development. Not worthy of being a top student's brain, thinking truly far.

The excitement passed, it was already late at night outside. Thinking she had to get up early tomorrow, she closed the computer and lay on the bed.

Couldn't sleep no matter how she closed her eyes. The next morning, her eyes were blue, looking like she hadn't slept well.

Took care of Ling'er, stayed with her for a while, and as soon as she fell asleep, 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."
