After breakfast, He Jiuniang took out her design drawings. When they saw those lifelike pictures, not only the Lu family members, but even the two embroiderers were speechless.

Could this be something an ordinary peasant woman could draw?

Fortunately, the Lu family had witnessed He Jiuniang's painting skills before, and after being amazed, they accepted it. The two embroiderers, however, kept looking at the drawings.

The clothes painted by He Jiuniang this time are of various styles, including capes, robes, and even long and short outer garments, most of which are the types that only ladies and young ladies from wealthy families would wear.

What's even more amazing is that it has exquisite patterns on it. When Luo Xiuniang saw it, she asked, "Does this pattern need to be embroidered?"

He Jiuniang nodded: "Yes, this batch of goods is mainly for the ladies and young misses of wealthy families, so it's natural that they should be made more exquisitely."

The women of the Lu family all looked somewhat reluctant; they didn't know how to embroider!

Fortunately, He Jiuniang knew their abilities and said, "Such delicate work as embroidery can be left to the two embroiderers. First, pick the two best-looking ones and make them. If they sell well, I will recruit a few more embroiderers to come to our house to be in charge of embroidery."

Embroidery is a technical skill that basically requires learning from a young age. People like Ms. Yu are only starting to learn now, so their skills are not yet up to par and they naturally cannot use it for ready-made garments.

The women of the Lu family all breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they weren't allowed to embroider, they were fine with it.

After the decision was made, the women all went back to their rooms to make clothes. The Lu family now had a large house with many empty rooms, so they specially set aside one room for making clothes.

Zhang Song and his brother went to collect feathers. Lu Laoda and Lu Laoer had nothing to do for the time being, so they took the initiative to say, "In the past, it was always the women in the family who went to collect herbs. Now that we have nothing to do, let's start a business selling medicinal herbs. Anyway, we've already prepared a workshop for processing medicinal herbs at home, so we can't let it go to waste."

"Okay, it's best to dig up as many as possible, including the roots. If you come across any with seeds, don't forget to collect them too."

Old Lu couldn't help but remind them that the women in the family were all busy, and the men couldn't be outdone!

Having said that she had explained things to everyone, He Jiuniang wanted to slip away. During this time, she used the excuse of wanting to read medical books to keep her from doing anything at home, and she had been quite lazy.

Madam Sun grabbed her arm and said calmly, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

He Jiuniang suddenly felt something was wrong; Ms. Sun's attitude was off.

"What's wrong, Mother?"

He Jiuniang smiled and sat down obediently.

Sun took a deep breath, feeling that it was inappropriate for a mother-in-law to say such things, but if she didn't say anything, she would feel uneasy.

"You already know what I asked Guilan to tell you before, right?"

really!

He Jiuniang looked embarrassed: "Mother, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"

"well!"

Sun Shi took He Jiu Niang's hand with rare tenderness. Her calloused palms were a little rough, but He Jiu Niang felt a special warmth from them.

"What happened to the third son is something our Lu family has wronged you about. He's been gone for so many years without any news. Even if I don't want to admit it, I have to accept the fact that he won't be coming back. You're still young, and the Lu family shouldn't hold you back."

Originally, I had asked Lu Guilan to tell her that she would come to find me, but I didn't expect that I would lose my temper and contact her first.

I really do owe this nemesis!

“Mother, I’m doing very well now, and I don’t necessarily have to get married. Besides, Gou’er is still so young. He keeps saying that his father will come back. If I remarry, how sad will he be? Moreover, even if I were to remarry, I can’t rush it. I haven’t found a suitable partner yet!”

He Jiuniang found it somewhat amusing that she had inexplicably become a single mother after transmigrating, something she couldn't choose.

But if she's going to remarry, it has to be someone she likes herself; she can't rush it.

"That's easy!"

Sun slapped her thigh and immediately said, "As long as you're willing, I'll go find the village matchmaker right now to ask if there are any suitable candidates. My daughter-in-law is so wonderful; even if she remarries, she should find an excellent family. Don't worry about the dowry; your mother has prepared everything for you. I guarantee you'll have a grand wedding. From now on, our family will be your maternal family, and I doubt the other side will dare to bully you!"

This was the first time that Mrs. Sun had spoken so frankly and intimately with her, every word brimming with concern, and her eyes even glistening with tears.

She was reluctant to part with him, but she couldn't hold He Jiuniang back.

How many three-year periods does a person have in their lifetime?

Although He Jiuniang felt that Sun's words were somewhat casual, this was how people in ancient times arranged marriages. They mainly looked at the other party's character and whether their family background was clean. If there were no major problems, the marriage could proceed.

But He Jiuniang isn't from this era. Although she's not someone who prioritizes love and marriage, she should at least find someone she finds acceptable, right?

In short, she didn't want to end her marriage so quickly.

She pouted, looking somewhat sad, and asked, "Does Mother dislike me being at home?"

Sun was stunned for a moment. She realized that she had said she would marry her off the day after the new house was built, which did seem like a betrayal. She became anxious.

"That's not what I meant. If you don't want to get married, we can even find a husband for you! I just love you. You brat, why do you always misunderstand me!"

As Sun Shi grew anxious, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes could no longer be held back, and she burst into tears.

He Jiuniang hadn't expected that her joke would make Sun Shi cry so much. She hurriedly wiped away Sun Shi's tears and coaxed her with a smile, "Mother, I understand your intentions, but I still maintain that Gou'er is still young, and I don't want him to get hurt. As for whether I will remarry, let's talk about that later. If I meet someone suitable, I'll definitely be more anxious than you are!"

He Jiuniang felt a warmth in her heart. Thinking back on her previous thoughts, she realized they were unnecessary. This old lady wanted her to live a good life more than anyone else.

From any perspective, Sun Shi was righteous in making a mother acknowledge her son's death and even urging her daughter-in-law to remarry.

Seeing He Jiuniang smiling, Madam Sun didn't say anything more, but only instructed, "If you've figured it out, tell me, and I'll find a matchmaker to help keep an eye on things. You're not getting any younger, and we can't delay any longer."

Even as she said that, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but wipe away her tears again. Being a mother-in-law was just too hard for her!

After a while, he finally managed to coax Sun into calming down. He deliberately said a few unpleasant things to anger her, and after being slapped twice, he ran back to his room to read. He stayed in his room for the entire afternoon.

Well, I only read the book for a few minutes before I cuddled my son and slept all afternoon.

After some time, a sound came from outside. It was Zhang Song and his brother returning, preparing to take the feathers to be cleaned.

He Jiuniang came out yawning and said, "Brother-in-law, wash with hot water. The sisters in the comments section said that hot water makes it cleaner!"

Sun waved her hand dismissively: "Then wash it with hot water, we can't let the kids in the comments section laugh at us! From now on, have the eldest and second eldest sons chop more firewood!"

P.S.: This author is great; she can really correct her mistakes!
