Chapter 383: Who dares to laugh at my sister?
Under the shade of the tree, the ancient embroiderer was trying earnestly to persuade Xiao Tangbao.
"Miss, even if you don't rely on embroidery to support your family, it's still good to have another skill... A girl with clever hands will be praised wherever she goes, but a clumsy one will be laughed at, especially by her in-laws..."
Before Gu Xiu Niang could finish her words, Su Xiaoliu happened to pass by carrying a bucket of water.
"Who dares to make fun of my sister? I'll beat him up!" Su Xiaoliu said domineeringly.
Gu Xiu Niang looked at Su Xiaoliu helplessly, thinking that this sixth young master had the potential to be a rough man.
"Sixth Young Master, if the young lady learns embroidery, she will make clothes and shoes for you in the future. When you wear them out, people will praise you and be full of envy..."
"Sister, hehe..." Su Xiaoliu laughed, betraying without any scruples, "Sixth Brother is waiting to wear the clothes and shoes you make..."
My sister made it herself, and it will definitely look very stylish when I wear it out.
Boss Su came over with a shovel and said with a smile, "Sister, big brother is also waiting to wear the clothes you make."
"Sister, fourth brother is waiting too..." Su Laosi came over with a broom in his hand and smiled.
Old Man Su happened to come from the backyard, and upon hearing this, he immediately showed a look of disgust towards his sons.
"Go away! Get out of here! My daughter is made for me, so if you want to wear her clothes, go get your own daughter!"
Su Lao Da and Su Lao Si: "..."
It hurts!
It hurts so much!
Old man Su gave his son a needle, then looked at his little girl, and his expression instantly turned to joy.
"My daughter, Dad is looking forward to wearing the clothes and shoes you make."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Looking at my father and then at my brothers with miserable faces, I feel that I must pick up the needle in my hand!
"Auntie Gu, you win." Little Tangbao looked at Auntie Gu.
In fact, she originally wanted to learn it.
Not only did her mother insist that she learn embroidery, but Grandpa Wang was also waiting for her to learn flying needle acupuncture.
Moreover, she herself admitted that since they were all going to use needles, it would be better to use embroidery needles at the beginning.
After all, embroidery needles are practiced on cloth, while silver needles probably need to be practiced on people.
It’s better to practice accuracy, speed, flexibility, etc. on cloth first.
After hearing what Xiao Tangbao said, Gu Xiu Niang was filled with joy.
"Young lady is naturally clever and skillful, so she must be able to learn needlework quickly." The ancient embroiderer said impatiently, "Come, let's start by picking up the needle..."
Mrs. Su Dasao and Mrs. Su Ersao, seeing how excited the ancient embroidery lady was teaching her sister-in-law, and thinking about her attitude when she taught them, felt that they were being treated differently.
But Mrs. Su didn't mind at all, and was even very happy.
Because this proved that the sister-in-law was smart, she was valued by the ancient embroiderer.
As for Su Ersao Qian Yuemei, she felt a little sad.
Of course, although she felt a little sad, she was still very happy that her sister-in-law was smart.
Although, this highlights her stupidity.
"Little aunt, if you study hard, maybe your sister-in-law will be able to use the handkerchiefs you embroider." Sister Su encouraged Xiao Tangbao with a smile.
As for the clothes, Mrs. Su was reluctant to let her sister-in-law do it, so as not to tire her out.
However, she fully supports her sister-in-law learning embroidery.
After all, if a girl learns good needlework, she won't be laughed at for her clumsy hands in her husband's family.
Upon hearing this, Qian Yuemei also hurriedly said, "Little aunt, please study hard. There are so many fine satins in your cabinet. If they are embroidered with flowers, they will definitely look even better. Maybe my second sister-in-law can also take advantage of your kindness and wear embroidered satin clothes..."
The corners of Xiao Tangbao's mouth twitched, it turned out that her second sister-in-law was thinking about the satin in her cabinet.
"Second sister-in-law, you'll have to wait a while. If I were to embroider a handkerchief or purse, maybe I could do it next year, but to embroider satin for clothes, I'm afraid I'll have to wait ten or eight years."
Qian Yuemei, “…”
His expression froze.
How come it took ten or eight years for such a stick to be used?
It would be better to ask for a handkerchief or purse first.
"That's what my second sister-in-law said. No matter what my younger sister-in-law does, my second sister-in-law likes it."
Qian Yuemei quickly changed her words in a flattering manner.
Xiao Tangbao naturally knew what his second sister-in-law was thinking, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he looked at Gu Xiuniang.
"Auntie Gu, can you teach your Gu's acupuncture method to outsiders?" asked Xiao Tangbao.
"Who does Miss want to pass on this to?" asked the ancient embroiderer keenly.
"Aunt Gu, I want to open an embroidery workshop." Little Tangbao said directly: "Many sisters and some sisters-in-law and aunts in the village are also very clever and skillful. If we can make some money by embroidery, our family life will get better and better."
At the same time, the family status will become higher and higher.
After hearing what Xiao Tangbao said, Gu Xiu Niang's face was full of complicated expressions.
This was the first time she had met someone as kind as the young lady.
No wonder the whole village treats the young lady as a treasure.
Although the young lady was only a few years old, her broad mind made her, a man in his forties, feel ashamed of herself!
"Miss, I have given you the album of Gu's needlework. Everything is up to you." said the embroiderer Gu.
A look of joy appeared on little Tangbao's little face.
"Aunt Gu, the Gu family's needlework was once world-renowned. I've learned it all by myself, and there's no way I can restore its former glory." Little Tangbao said happily, "If we open an embroidery studio, it will be different. We can slowly expand it and spread its reputation. One day, our studio will have the ability and qualifications to undertake the task of embroidering dragon and phoenix robes."
What Xiao Tangbao didn’t say is that if you want a skill to be passed down forever, you can’t keep it to yourself, otherwise it will be lost sooner or later.
After hearing what Xiao Tangbao said, Gu Xiu Niang showed a thoughtful expression.
If that were the case, the ancestors of the Gu family would certainly be pleased if they knew about it.
"Boss, boss... a military officer has ordered 20 kilograms of peanuts. Come and pick them up in the evening." Chuncao ran over excitedly and said breathlessly.
The girl behind him also said happily, "There are a few more soldiers who want 500 chestnut cakes. Come and get them in the evening."
When Xiao Tangbao heard this, she immediately put down the embroidery needle in her hand.
This is a big order, we have to get busy right away.
At the same time, I quickly calculated in my mind how much material I would need.
As for opening an embroidery studio and learning embroidery, she put it aside for the time being.
"Sister Daya, we don't have enough chestnut flour. Go ask around in the village and see if anyone has it and have it delivered directly to our house."
"Okay!"
Daya agreed and ran out quickly.
Xiao Tangbao then took Liuzhi, Chuncao and others into the kitchen.
The ancient embroiderer looked at Xiao Tangbao's timid back and helplessly put down the needle and thread in her hand.
It's a good thing that the lady is capable.
But how can a little girl of a few years old be busier than adults?
When will the lady be able to calm down and learn embroidery from her?
And as for the matter of opening an embroidery studio, she suddenly couldn't wait any longer.
