A deep thought came to the He family.

Although this was just a matter of the He family, it still alarmed the neighbors.

The He family began to say that Chen Nian was a relative at home, which was obvious. Chen Nian's surname was Chen, and the same surname as Shen. Everyone didn't think much about it, and thought it was a relative of Shen's family. However, Chen Nian stopped leaving as soon as he lived in the Shen family. The active-minded person suddenly felt: Well, there is something wrong here! There must be something wrong! Otherwise, which relative's children would live in the relative's family! Could it be like the third girl, whose parents both died and they defected to each other?

Gossip often spreads from the mouths of the person with the least stern mouth. What kind of person with the least stern mouth? The answer is: Child.

Because Chen Nian came to school with He Zijin, Chen Erniu also deliberately avoided Chen Nian and called He Zijin to the garden to gossip. She asked He Zijin mysteriously, "A Nian is really your relative? I heard people say that he is your uncle's private child." These days, there are no cell phones, no phones, no high-tech, but the rumors are so fast. The Chen family is a businessman, with a wide range of people and fast news. The Shen family and the Chen family are also relatives who are turning around. Chen Su is now a juren... The right and wrong, good and bad, and there are some rumors. If the people below pay attention, the Chen family will naturally know it faster.

He Zijin glared at Chen Erniu, "Who did you hear?"

"Everyone outside said that." Chen Erniu naturally couldn't say that she heard her mother say it.

"I haven't heard anyone outside say this." He Zijin stopped muttering to Chen Erniu, saying, "Don't listen to the wind or the rain. Look at Sister Daniu, she won't say that there are any and nothing. The strange saying goes, Mr. Daniu praises Sister Daniu for being steady." Chen Erniu said this, but he still doesn't know what others are? He Zijin doesn't like the origin of Chen Erniu's secret gossip and thoughts, and one sentence poked Chen Erniu's pain.

Chen Erniu snorted, "Yes, I am a tongue-in-law, right?"

"This is what you said." He Zijin smiled. Seeing that Chen Erniu had no interest in gossip and thought, he glanced at a red plum with a budding and cold fragrance next to her and asked her, "Aren't you going to hold a plum blossom appreciation meeting? The plum blossoms are about to bloom now, why haven't you collected your post yet?"

If I were just a little displeasure just now, Chen Erniu's face could be called cold. In the past two years, she has gotten along well with He Zijin, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Chen Nian's background directly. Although the cousins ​​who go to school together every day, Mrs. Chen is not pregnant yet, she has found a good way to stabilize her position in front of Aunt Chen. She is particularly intimate with the He family. The He family is Aunt Chen's parents' home. Mrs. Chen has such eyesight. In addition to being always worried about her family, Mrs. Chen is not only for her to be worried about Chen. The second grandma is quite good. Therefore, Chen Erniu is particularly good at He Zijin. She has been studying together for more than two years. Even though she was deliberately at the beginning, she has become a little in love with each other until now. Chen Erniu said coldly, "Next year, my cousin will be a scholar. My eldest sister is older than me, so the eldest sister must be the first in the family." She mentioned the matter of the plum blossom poetry party first, but she had to give it to Chen Daniu. Chen Erniu is a very strong person and at the age of strong. How can she be convinced at this moment?

He Zijin advised her, "Why can't you think too much? If you talk about this, Sister Da Niu is older than you, saying that the kiss must be ahead of you. What's wrong with letting her be ahead? You are all cousins, Sister Da Niu is also the eldest sister. She can say that the door is good for you. Wouldn't it be good for you? After Sister Da Niu's affairs are settled, she will hold a flower party. Even if Sister Sanniu comes up with the idea, she will have to ask you to take the lead at that time."

"My mother also said this." Seeing Chen Daniu coming over with a maid in a long skirt with a white background and red plum blossom, Chen Erniu reached out and broke a branch half-open on the plum blossom tree in her hand. Chen Daniu said from afar, "I have agreed to have a plum blossom appreciation poetry party in the future. Why did you break the branches backwards?"

Chen Erniu handed the flower branches in her hand to the big maid Huangli to put them away, and forced a smile, saying, "Look, take them to insert them into the bottle."

Chen Daniu looked at the broken part of the tree and revealed the blue-white broken branch, and said, "When can't you insert the bottle? When I finish the poetry meeting, my sister will move the whole plum tree to your house to insert it. I won't say anything." He also told the maid Cuiying beside her, "Tell me to the mother-in-law who is watching the garden and tell her to look closely at these plum trees. Never ask anyone to break it anymore. Then he repaired the broken branch, otherwise it would be too ugly."

After Chen Daniu gave these instructions, he was noble and polite to He Zijin, "I will hold a poetry meeting here, and my sister will come and have fun together."

He Zijin hurriedly said, "I have to watch the children at home, I'm afraid I won't have time." Hearing this tone, Chen Daniu didn't mean to ask her to come seriously.

Chen Daniu thought and sighed, "Yes, now there is A Nian again. Even when you go to school, you will have to go with you. Fortunately, he is still young, otherwise, the man and woman will have different seats at the age of seven. He is older, but it is not easy to get involved in the inner examination."

He Zijin smiled, "Yes."

Chen Daniu stopped saying anything and said, "I'll go read the book first. The sir is coming soon, so sisters, come in too."

He Zijin let out aside and gave way, "Sister Big Girl first."

When Chen Daniu left, even He Zijin couldn't help but sigh. In the past, Chen Daniu was just a straightforward person, a little vain girl's home. Now, I have been studying for a long time or two and have a good academic knowledge, but I didn't learn more generously, but I learned the snobbery of her mother, Grandma Chen. Of course, people are snobbish, and He Zijin himself cannot avoid the vulgarity. But snobbishness is rare for Chen Daniu, for example, since He Zijin was at home.

After a poetry meeting, will any young girls in Bishui County who know a few words do poetry? Anyway, they are keen on holding poetry meetings. For families like the Chen family, the three sisters of the Chen family specially spent a lot of money to invite a teacher to order them. Naturally, there are constant poetry and tea parties. Chen Erniu takes the lead and asks He Zijin to join him. If Chen Daniu hosts, she has never invited He Zijin once. As she just asked, He Zijin said tactfully and said goodbye, and both of them were happy.

He Zijin didn't know if she had offended Chen Daniu, but now she talked about Shen Nian going to school with her. He Zijin sighed, Chen Erniu was so happy, "Good people are not rewarded, huh?" She just spoke for Chen Daniu! She deserves it! Retribution!

Seeing that He Zijin was in trouble, Chen Erniu was in a better mood and said, "The skirt worn by Daniu just now is a fashionable material at the provincial capital. Aunt Wu's family runs a silk shop, and there is no such good material. My mother said that she wanted ten taels of silver per piece. The uncle bought two tailored clothes for Daniu. There was no other person in the family." Rao Chen Erniu was very depressed when He Zijin was frustrated.

Chen Erniu sighed, "It's not just about the poetry club. I haven't let her before. If she wants to show off, just let her go out. I'm two years younger, so I'm not in a hurry. But the same surname is Chen, and now she has something, but I don't have it with Sanniu, and I don't know what to do in the future." Chen Erniu has been a little cunning person since she was a child. Chen Erniu has always been very strong. If it weren't for Chen Daniu's eyes today, she wouldn't have told He Zijin about these things at home.

In fact, it is not just a poetry meeting, nor is it just a clothes...

He Zijin pulled her hand and whispered, "If you are not happy, you have to think about something happy. This plum blossom is good. I ask Sister Huangli to give it a bottle to my grandma. I just say that you are looking at the flowers and being filial to the old man."

Chen Erniu was so happy that she said "Puchi" that she was always bored in class, but she always felt that you were bored, but the older you were, the more clever you became."

Seeing Chen Erniu laughing, He Zijin smiled, "What kind of cleverness is this? If you are depressed, think about me. Don't say that there is a material worth ten taels of silver per piece, I have never worn it even if it is a good material like you. If my grandmother didn't take care of her, I wouldn't be able to read. Compare with me, you will be happy." He Zijin is a natural optimist.

"What kind of fallacy is this? I am not that shameful." Chen Erniu smiled and said to He Zijin, "Like the teacher taught in class, you should know something about my family. I don't tell you. It looks the same now, but my father is the second son, and my uncle is willing to take out twenty taels of silver to buy clothes for Sister Daniu, but my mother can't take them out." These things can't be explained in one or two sentences. Chen Erniu ordered Huangli, "Go, bring the white jade plum vase in my room, which is the best red plum, and send it to my grandmother. He said that I saw that the plum blossoms are blooming well, and I dare not appreciate them first, and respect my grandmother first."

The oriole went with the plum blossoms.

Seeing Shen Nian standing outside the Qiuzhi Hall and looking at her, He Zijin smiled and said to Chen Erniu, "You have to feel better. Let's go in the house, and the sir is coming soon."

Chen Erniu also saw Shen Nian and smiled, "It's been more than two months now, and A Nian is still so inseparable. If you don't know, you have to say that this is your brother."

He Zijin smiled, "Since you say that, just take care of him as my brother."

"You need to say this." Chen Erniu smiled and said to He Zijin, "You said this person is strange. Sister Daniu was not like this in the past."

He Zijin smiled, "You always talk about others, but you used to treat me like this."

Chen Erniu smiled, "I was younger two years ago. To be honest, I remember when I was a child, although my family was rich, my grandmother was always frugal, and I felt so happy every meal with meat. Later, my family was better. Even now, I didn't feel that bird's nest and shark fin were rare. At that time, I suddenly could wear silk and satin and bought many maids and servants. My mother told me about the pomp of many wealthy families. In fact, I was excited and uneasy, for fear of being underestimated when I went out, so I held some things. Now I think about it, it's annoying enough. I think you also disliked me at that time."

He Zijin smiled, "You talk to me first. You wanted to lift your chin to the sky when you said something to me. But you are willing to take care of me." In the past two years, no matter whether Chen Erniu was intentional or something, she did take good care of her. Not to mention anything else, she had given her many snacks.

Chen Erniu took He Zijin's hand, but he didn't get distracted by He Zijin's words. Instead, he felt more intimate with He Zijin and laughed, "I thought I used to be like Sister Big Girl. I have to be glad to look at her now, but fortunately I didn't become like this. Otherwise, how could you say these words to me?" Seeing that Shen Nian had been looking at this place at the door of Qiuzhi Hall, and people were not coming, Chen Erniu smiled, "Let's go over, otherwise A Nian would really be eager to see her."

The two of them went to Qiuzhitang, and Chen Erniu went to He Zijin's ear and said, "Is A Nian your uncle's private child? ~"

He Zijin quietly twisted her waist and said, "Shut up, others say it's someone else's words, you are not allowed to say that."

"I know~" Chen Erniu thought he had obtained some truth in the world and laughed, "Don't worry. If A Nian is really true, Sister Da Niu will never say anything about 'seven-year-old differently' in the future." He Zijin's uncle is a juren, and her mother is extremely envious of her every time she talks about it. Even when the elders in the family say that they have a future, they will have a great future.

"You should pay attention to her. A Nian just came here and couldn't live without me. After a few days, I just asked him to play with A Lie at home." He Zijin smiled, "He told A Lie very much."

As the two of them were talking, Chen Nian saw them walking towards Qiuzhi Hall, and quickly came over, holding He Zijin's hand, with joy in his eyes.

Chen Erniu teased him, "What, are you afraid that I will abduct your sister Zijin?"

Chen Nian didn't talk much outside, and held He Zijin's hand and said, "Liang."

He Zijin smiled, "Maybe I've been standing under the plum blossom tree for a long time."

Chen Erniu gave her hand stove to He Zijin, "You warm your hands first."

He Zijin smiled, "You need to use it too. It's okay, I'm strong in fire, I'll be fine in a while."

Chen Erniu forced him to He Zijin and said, "Auntie's sauce shop, business has been getting better in the past two years. Why can't you even bear to give up a hand stove?"

He Zijin covered her brass hand stove with green embroidered embroidered condoms that Chen Erniu had put on her with her hands and smiled, "It's just you who don't know how expensive the firewood and rice are. My mother's sauce shop, no matter how good the business is, our Bishui County is a small place, so it's limited. Your hand stove costs several taels of silver, and the cheapest ones outside cost several hundred yuan, and the charcoal burned inside. You use high-quality bamboo charcoal, and there's no cigarette, so my family can't afford such good charcoal. With this money, it's better to make more cotton clothes. It's not cold to wear more on weekdays."

"Your family is used to being thrifty, and even if you have money, you can't bear to use it." Chen Erniu said, laughing, "Is there a sensation in our Bishui County today? Do you know?"

He Zijin smiled, "Where do I have a good knowledge of you?"

"Xue Qianzhen from our county embroidered an embroidery picture of the seven sages of the bamboo forest. Do you guess how much silver the embroidery shop gave her?"

"How can I know this?"

"It's a hundred taels."

He Zijin exclaimed, "My goodness, it's rare that embroidered pictures can be sold at such a high price!" Don't believe in the idle things of thousands of dollars in the previous life's drama. At least He Zijin's personal experience, her family can spend two taels per month during the Chinese New Year, and she is more frugal on weekdays. The rice and flour are all produced in her own farm, and they grow vegetables in her own yard. One tael a month is enough. The big expense is the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that her father studied, and even her father is very frugal. A piece of paper is used on the front and the back. Unless it is a piece of paper that he wants to copy to the teacher, He Gong will not only use one side. One hundred taels, and it will be easy for ten years to spend more than ten years. This is a huge amount, so when Mrs. He knew that Chen Nian had a 100 taels of support, he was happy to invite his children and grandchildren to go out for breakfast.

Chen Erniu said, "Yes, my mother was shocked when she heard this. Xue Qianzhen's craftsmanship is really amazing. I heard that there is a big embroidery workshop in the prefecture to invite her, but she only wants to go to Aunt Li's embroidery workshop. However, my father said that if this embroidery picture is sold directly to the prefecture, it can be sold at 300 taels."

He Zijin said, "My grandmother often says that Aunt Li is the most smart person in our county. She has a great man like Xue Qianzhen in her hand, so why worry about bad business? However, such a large-scale embroidery business is not common."

Chen Erniu smiled, "I say that too, maybe one picture a year is amazing. My mother said I don't know, and I think it's very good like my embroidery girl, but it is said that some wealthy families have even more amazing embroidery skills. Xue Qianzhen's craftsmanship is so popular when she goes out. Moreover, if anyone is willing to sell herself to which embroidery girl, she will also be a worshiper in the embroidery workshop."

He Zijin said, "About all the people with the surname Xue are good, and our husband is also Xue, so he has such good knowledge."

Chen Erniu smiled, "Didn't my third cousin take care of work from Aunt Li? How did she do it? The veil she gave to Huangli that day was also quite exquisite."

He Zijin smiled, "It's not like everyone like Xue Qianzhen, but my third cousin's work has been getting better and better in recent years."

Seeing Mr. Xue coming from afar, the two of them simply stopped. When Mr. Xue arrived, they saw the ceremony and went in with Mr. Xue.

When she got home at noon, even Mrs. He knew that Xue Qianzhen had earned 100 taels of silver for an embroidery picture. She was talking to the third girl, "If you can learn such a craft, you won't have to worry about this life."

The third girl laughed, "I'm still far from it."

Mrs. He curled her lips, "It's not that you asked you to learn codes, you have to be careful."

"I think I'm not stupid either, but some embroidery legal entities don't pass on them, and I can't learn it for a while." The third girl wanted to learn better embroidery methods than anyone else. It should be the dream of all embroidery girls like Xue Qianzhen to sell an embroidery picture of 100 taels of silver. Therefore, the third girl told me about the difficulties in her heart.

Mrs. He only knows some basic knowledge about embroidery, and in terms of technology, he is far less than that of the third girl. However, Mrs. He consciously can still give guidance to the third girl on the road of life. She said to the third girl, "That's so stupid! This is someone's ability to eat. You have no blood relatives and no friendship, let alone you also make a meal in this pot. How can people teach you the ability to eat? Stealing! Stealing! If you want to learn real skills, you rely on learning secretly! No one taught you the embroidery work, how did you learn it?"

Since she has been with Mrs. He for a long time, the third girl has a good psychological quality. She whispered, "Sister Huangli beside Sister Erniu is very willing to give me some advice."

There were a little smile on this side of Old Madam He's face, and she felt that the third girl was a little smart, "Isn't that right? You are not stupid enough. If we have such a capable person in our family, we will teach you a long time ago. If we don't have one, you can learn somewhere else."

The third girl sighed, "It's just that Sister Huangli's embroidery work is limited. I can still get some small work from Aunt Li. For a slightly larger work, it's not my turn, and the second is my needlework."

Mrs. He’s method is very simple, “If you think something is not good, practice more and do more. Can you sigh and sigh to make a bird work?”

He Zijin asked, "Cousin, have you ever seen the picture of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest? What exactly is it like? How can it be sold at such a high price?"

"How can I see this? Not to mention the embroidery picture like this, even if we are each responsible for the work, we will be given to Aunt Li directly. I can't see others, nor can I see me. Like the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, I went to the morning after receiving the news. I thought that while the aunt was in a good mood, I couldn't say I could see it, but I didn't see it." The third girl asked He Zijin, "What are the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest saying? It's still a four-character name."

Old lady He pretended to understand and said to the third girl, "I don't understand this. The seven immortals in the bamboo forest must be the affairs of the seven gods in the bamboo forest."

He Zijin was happy at the moment, and Old Mother He asked, "What are the seven gods? Are there any of these seven gods in the temple? If so, let's go and worship, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless your cousin to learn good skills soon. I don't expect your cousin to sell one hundred taels of embroidery pictures, and I'm happy that I can get fifty taels."

He Zijin smiled, "You are really not greedy."

Old Lady He smiled and said, "What do you know? I've asked Aunt Li for a long time, and Aunt Li also said that your cousin is this material. She is skillful and has a neat work. She practices for two more years. Once the craftsmanship is improved, she will be able to get some bigger and more meticulous work."

The Seven Immortals of the Bamboo Forest enlightened Mrs. He seemed to see a golden avenue of wealth. She said to the third girl and He Zijin, "Let's go to the temple to worship the Seven Immortals tomorrow. Zijin, you should learn more from your cousin. Now you are still young, don't go to school in two years. Go to Aunt Li's place with the Third Girl to get some needles and threads, and you can also make money by doing needles and threads." Mrs. He has already found all the jobs after He Zijin's graduation, and is still a designated unit.

He Zijin felt that the unit was not bad, and said, "Finish! When I learn how to draw with my husband, it will definitely be beneficial to embroidery work in the future."

Old Madam He smiled and said, "I don't ask you to get Xue Qianzhen's ability, just follow her half. You two are fifty taels each, and there are one hundred taels a year."
Chapter completed!
