Chapter 355: Feeling like I've made a fortune
What Mrs. Su didn’t say was that the ancient acupuncture method was never passed on to outsiders.
Apart from the Gu clan, no one else has learned it.
Back then, her second aunt tried every possible way to hire a woman who had worked as a concubine in the Gu family's embroidery room to come to the mansion to teach herself and Lin Wanyu embroidery skills, but in the end she failed.
Now, the book recording the authentic ancient acupuncture method was placed in front of her so easily.
"Mom, so this tattered book is very valuable?" Qian Yuemei came back to her senses and asked hurriedly.
Old Mrs. Su glanced at her daughter-in-law who was obsessed with money and was too lazy to say anything.
How can such a unique skill be measured by money?
Old Mrs. Su took the book and looked at the embroiderer suspiciously.
"Are you... a descendant of the Feizhen Gu family?" Old Lady Su guessed.
Otherwise, how could someone else have such unique skills?
Feizhen Gu is the respectful name given to the Gu clan by the world.
It is said that the flying needle acupuncture method is the essence of ancient acupuncture.
After hearing what Old Lady Su said, Gu Xiu Niang nodded.
"To be honest, Madam, I am indeed a descendant of the Feizhen Gu family."
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
He looked down at his little girl.
Sure enough, the person the little girl saved was definitely not an ordinary person.
You know, this book "Gu's Acupuncture Method" alone is probably worth a fortune.
This is definitely more valuable than my own ginseng!
Oh! I wanted to do good deeds, but why do I feel like I made a profit?
Moreover, I made a lot of money!
Old Mrs. Su was filled with mixed feelings.
However, Old Mrs. Su still had some questions.
"Since you are the heir of the Gu family, where are your clansmen?" asked Old Mrs. Su.
When Gu Xiuniang heard Mrs. Su's question, her nose felt sore and her eyes turned red.
"Madam, I am the only descendant of the Gu family..."
Old Mrs. Su was stunned.
Then, he asked in surprise, "How could this be? The ancient acupuncture method was once world-renowned, so how come you are the only descendant left?"
Moreover, he is in such a miserable state?
Old Mrs. Su did not ask the last question.
In the eyes of Old Lady Su, just relying on this book of Gu's Needlework, Lady Gu would never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
No matter which wealthy family she went to, she would definitely be treated with respect.
Don't underestimate the skill of embroidery. Most wealthy families are willing to invest in the education of their girls.
After all, the more famous the girls in the mansion are for their talents, the more likely they are to marry into prominent families.
Of course, this will involve the interests of the family.
When Gu Xiuniang heard what Old Lady Su said, her expression darkened.
"Madam, the moon waxes and wanes, and people have good and bad fortunes; it's all just a matter of a day or two."
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
Thinking about my past self, I have to admit that what the ancient embroiderer said was very true.
Seeing that Gu Xiu Niang obviously didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, Mrs. Su naturally didn't ask any further questions.
So, he said, "After the worst comes the best, things will get better and better."
"It is a blessing for me to meet you, Madam and Miss." said Gu Xiu Niang.
After saying this, she glanced at her deformed fingers and continued, "Madam, my hands are broken and I can no longer embroider with flying needles. However, the hard work of our ancestors cannot be wasted in my hands. I hope that Miss..."
As the ancient embroiderer spoke, she looked at Xiao Tangbao eagerly.
The meaning is very clear. I hope Xiao Tangbao can learn the ancient acupuncture method.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
I don't want to pick up an embroidery needle.
"Auntie Gu, I'm very stupid and I'm afraid I can't learn it." Little Tangbao said seriously.
"Miss, although the flying needle technique is difficult to learn, there are only a few people who can master it, even among the Gu family."
When Gu Xiu Niang said this, she paused and looked down at Xiao Tangbao's hand.
Then, she continued confidently, "But you can tell from the young lady that you are a clever and skillful girl. If you are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to do it. Although I cannot embroider with the flying needle technique, I can still teach you..."
As the ancient embroiderer spoke, she looked at Xiao Tangbao with burning eyes, expecting Xiao Tangbao to nod.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
No! I'm really stupid!
Under the gaze of the ancient embroiderer, Xiao Tangbao felt his scalp tingling.
When Mrs. Su saw this, her expression was complicated and difficult to describe.
There are countless women in the world who want to learn the ancient acupuncture method.
After all, learning it is like giving yourself a layer of gold.
Naturally, wealthy families would not expect to make money from embroidery, but they could become famous with their superb embroidery skills.
But now, with such a rare opportunity, one person is begging to learn, while the other doesn't want to learn.
Is my little girl being pampered a little too much?
Old Mrs. Su pondered to herself.
It is normal for girls to learn needlework.
Could it be that if I can’t even hold an embroidery needle, my in-laws will look down on me for being clumsy in the future?
No way! How can I let my precious daughter be despised by others?
I will coax my daughter to learn something no matter what.
Qian Yuemei's eyes lit up and she said, "Since my aunt doesn't want to learn, I will! When I learn, I can make clothes for her. Learning embroidery is so tiring, how can I let her get tired?"
After hearing this, Gu Xiu Niang looked down at Qian Yuemei's fingers, but did not refuse.
"If the Second Young Master's wife wants to learn, then of course she can."
I will definitely not be able to learn it anyway!
By then I will give up.
She doesn't need to offend anyone.
Qian Yuemei was overjoyed.
"Okay! I'll start learning tomorrow!"
When she learns it, maybe she will be able to embroider dragon robes and phoenix robes.
Dragon robes and phoenix robes, wouldn’t they be extremely expensive?
It is definitely worth the money for my own ginseng!
At this moment, Qian Yuemei was full of confidence and vowed to earn back the money she earned from the ginseng.
Not only that, Qian Yuemei thought that after she embroidered the dragon robe and the phoenix robe, she might even be rewarded and allowed to enter the palace...
Oh my! Thinking of this, Qian Yuemei's heart was boiling with passion.
I can't wait to start learning.
As for ginseng, it doesn't seem to be that important.
Mrs. Su didn't think about embroidering a dragon robe, but she became interested when she thought about making beautiful clothes for her sister-in-law.
"Mom, I want to learn too." Mrs. Su looked at Old Lady Su and said.
In short, you have to ask your mother-in-law's opinion first.
Old Madam Su looked at the embroiderer Gu.
Gu Xiu Niang looked down again at Mrs. Su's fingers.
"If the eldest young lady wants to learn, then of course that's fine."
I will never learn it anyway.
Little Tangbao followed the ancient embroiderer's gaze and scanned her sister-in-law's fingers.
Then he looked down at his fingers.
How can those chubby white fingers look like they are dexterous?
How did Aunt Gu know that she could learn it?
Even the Gu clan members found it difficult to learn, so am I really that dexterous?
Why don't you believe it?
However, even if I don’t want to learn, the young ladies in the village will definitely want to learn.
I just don’t know if Aunt Gu is willing to teach?
After all, this is their family's unique skill.
Although I don't want it to be lost, I may not be willing to pass it on casually.
Otherwise, how could she have fallen to the point where she had no money to treat her son's illness and had to sell herself?
