After a while, Wei Fuyao came out of Wei Laosan's room.

Seeing that her effeminate temper had almost subsided, Wei Fuyan slipped into the yard.

She wanted to go out and play, but was stopped by Zhou. Zhou could tolerate her daughter not coming to embroider flowers at this time, but she couldn't let her run out to play again. Although it was in the village, it was not safe without adults watching.

With no other options, Wei Fuyao had to play in the yard.

Wei Shulan was a quiet person. When she saw Liu Tangxi and Zhou embroidering, she played in the yard for a while and then sat on the bench that Zhou had brought for Wei, looking at them intently.

Seeing Liu Tangxi's beautiful needlework movements, and how she could embroider a flower in a short time, Wei Shulan would occasionally exclaim in admiration: "Third Auntie is so amazing, this flower looks just like the real thing."

After saying that, seeing that Zhou had also looked over, Wei Shulan added: "Second Aunt's is also beautiful. I like pink flowers."

Zhou nodded Wei Shulan's head and said with a smile, "You are a sweet-talking girl, much better than your elder sister."

Wei Fuyao was standing in front of the chicken coop, playing with the chickens with a stick. When he heard his mother's words, he curled his lips.

After Liu Tangxi finished embroidering a handkerchief, she took Wei Shulan to play in the yard for a while. There were no glasses in ancient times, and she didn't want to make herself nearsighted. After resting for about two quarters of an hour, Liu Tangxi returned to the main hall door.

"Auntie, what are you going to embroider?" Wei Shulan's eyes were full of curiosity. "Are you going to embroider flowers again? What flowers? Morning glories or azaleas?"

Liu Tangxi originally wanted to secretly embroider a peony flower like the one she just made, but after hearing what Wei Shulan said, she suddenly didn't want to disappoint her child.

"Then what do you like? How about Third Aunt embroider something you like?" Liu Tangxi asked while pinching Wei Shulan's little face.

Wei Shulan frowned and thought for a while. While thinking, she looked at the flowers in the corner. Seeing bees and butterflies on the flowers, her eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled and said, "Butterflies! I like butterflies. Does Third Auntie like butterflies?"

"Of course, then I will embroider a butterfly for you." Liu Tangxi agreed immediately.

Wei Fuyao originally thought that embroidery was the most boring thing, but after hearing what Wei Shulan and Liu Tangxi said, her attention immediately shifted.

Butterfly?

Can you still embroider a butterfly?

She had only seen her mother and aunt embroidering flowers, but had never seen anyone embroidering butterflies.

Wei Fuyao wanted to go over there.

"Wow, I know, this is the wing of a butterfly!" Wei Shulan exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh? No, it turns out that they are not wings." Wei Shulan spoke again.

After a while, Wei Shulan clapped her hands and said, "This time it's the best. It's really beautiful, a blue butterfly."

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Fuyao finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran towards the door of the main room.

When she passed by, Liu Tangxi had already outlined a simple butterfly shape with blue lines.

She didn't believe Wei Shulan's words at first, but when she saw the things embroidered by Liu Tangxi, she was immediately attracted.

This is a yellow and blue butterfly. It looks blue overall, but there are some yellow lines in the middle.

She has never liked the color red since she was a child and her favorite color is blue.

Seeing Wei Fuyao coming over, Liu Tangxi looked at her with a smile and continued embroidering.

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Shulan was tired of watching and stood up to play in the yard. Before leaving, she called the playful Wei Fuyao. Unfortunately, Wei Fuyao ignored her this time and stared at the butterfly in Liu Tangxi's hand.

Wei Shulan looked at Wei Fuyao, then at the handkerchief in Liu Tangxi's hand, stood up, and went back to counting the ants.

Wei Fuyao sat on the small stool that Wei Shulan brought.

After embroidering the butterfly, Liu Tangxi simply embroidered a few orchids on it.

"It's really beautiful." Wei Fuyao stared at the handkerchief in Liu Tangxi's hand and said.

After saying this, Wei Fuyao looked at what his mother had embroidered, then looked at what Liu Tangxi had embroidered, and asked in confusion: "Auntie, how did you embroider it? Why is it different from my mother's?"

Liu Tangxi glanced at Zhou, smiled, and said, "What's the difference? They are almost the same. Your mother embroidered for a few years, and I have been embroidering for more than ten years."

"My mother's flower looks fake at first glance, but your butterfly looks real." Wei Fuyao commented seriously.

Zhou had not expected her daughter to say this, and she was so disrespectful that she immediately said unhappily, "Well, you just think your mother's embroidery is ugly, how about I give you the needle and you embroider it yourself?"

Wei Fuyao looked at the needle and thread in Zhou's hand and shook his head quickly.

"I don't want to learn from you, I want to learn from Third Aunt." Wei Fuyao looked at Liu Tangxi seriously and said.

In fact, this was not the first time that Zhou wanted her daughter to learn embroidery, but it was the first time she heard her daughter say this. In the past, her daughter always refused directly.

After hearing her daughter's words, Zhou fell silent for a rare moment. She raised her eyes and looked at Liu Tangxi with a little expectation.

Liu Tangxi didn't hesitate at all and said with a smile: "Okay, you have nothing to do anyway, if you want to learn, just learn from Auntie San."

Zhou was startled at first, but soon she asked, "Third sister-in-law, are you really willing to teach me how to play Fuyao?"

Zhou's tone was full of uncertainty.

Liu Tangxi pondered for a moment and felt that what she had just said seemed to be fine. However, Zhou was Wei Fuyao's mother, so it didn't seem right for her to agree rashly.

"If Fu Yao wants to learn, I'm willing to let her learn. However, she is still young, and if my second sister-in-law feels bad for her, then she can wait a few years before learning."

In a few years, she might leave the Wei family. However, by then, Wei Hanzhou would have surely passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar, and the Wei family would have the money to hire someone to teach Wei Fuyao.

Zhou smiled and said quickly, "You are not a child anymore. It is a good time to learn now. Fuyao, why don't you thank your aunt quickly?"

Wei Fuyao looked at Zhou, then at the lifelike butterfly in Liu Tangxi's hand, and said to Liu Tangxi seriously, "Thank you, Third Auntie."

After hearing what Zhou said, Liu Tangxi patted Wei Fuyao's head and said, "You're welcome. Just don't complain about being tired when the time comes."

In her memory, the original owner started learning embroidery when she was a child, even younger than Wei Fuyao.

"No, if she says she's tired, I'll teach her for you." Zhou said for her daughter, and then smiled and said, "Third brother's wife, thank you so much. That day I asked your second brother to ask third brother what he thought, and he refused the next day. I thought you didn't want to teach him, and he was afraid that we would blame you for taking this matter. So he really didn't tell you?"

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi was slightly stunned.

Wei Hanzhou? Wei Erhu? Zhou?

So, what Wei Hanzhou wanted to ask her that day was actually this?

Then why didn't he ask?

Seeing Liu Tangxi's expression, Zhou pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Don't blame Third Brother in your heart. If you ask me, Third Brother also loves you."

Liu Tangxi pursed her lips and a slightly awkward smile appeared on her face.

Wei Hanzhou feels sorry for her?

How is that possible!

Most of the time they thought she had bad conduct and unknown background, and they were afraid that she would lead their niece astray.

Then, Zhou continued, "Your second brother also criticized me later. I didn't think about this matter. I know that there are not many people who can embroider, especially those who are as good as you. It's hard to find a second one in the whole town, let alone in the surrounding villages. Everyone relies on this craft to make a living. It's a craft passed down from ancestors. I saw you taught me and my eldest sister-in-law that day, so I shamelessly wanted to ask you to teach me how to fuyao. I was afraid that you would refuse if I said it to your face, and it would be a bit embarrassing, so I asked your second brother to ask your third brother."

The puzzled expression on Liu Tangxi's face became even more intense.

After saying this, Zhou shook Liu Tangxi's hand and said seriously, "Don't blame your third brother for this. If he had really asked you that day, you might have been embarrassed to refuse, but it would have hurt the relationship between you two. If you want to blame someone, blame me. It's my fault. I had selfish motives and wanted you to teach her Fuyao. I thought that if she could learn a little bit from you, it would be easier for her to convince her in-laws in the future. She would also have a skill and they would look up to her."

Liu Tangxi was stunned for a moment.

Neither she nor the original owner's memory considered embroidery to be a big deal.

But after listening to Zhou's words, she realized that this matter seemed to be indeed not simple.

So, although Zhou wanted her daughter to learn, she was afraid that she would not agree, so she did not dare to ask her in person, but went around in circles.

And Wei Hanzhou... Thinking of Wei Hanzhou's embarrassed expression that day, she suddenly felt that Wei Hanzhou might not be afraid that she would teach the child badly, but perhaps he was not familiar with her and was reluctant to speak up.

I didn't expect Wei Hanzhou to have such a gentlemanly side.

She now lives and eats in his house. If he forces her to teach Wei Fuyao, can she refuse?

It's really surprising.

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. I don't blame anyone. You know, I have lost my memory and I am not from here. In my memory, it seems that my family hired an embroiderer to teach me. It is not an ancestral craft. Since I am the third aunt of Fuyao, it is not difficult for her to teach me." Liu Tangxi said, "Of course, I don't blame my husband. My husband is also thinking about me. He is afraid that it will be difficult for me to choose, so he took it on himself."

Zhou smiled broadly.

"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law. It was all my fault in the past, I hope you won't blame me. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

Liu Tangxi smiled and glanced at Wei Fuyao.

"Don't say that, sister-in-law. Fu Yao should be obedient. I will teach her."

When Li and Zhang came back from the fields, Zhou told them what had happened.

Li was naturally very happy, and there was a hint of kindness in her eyes when she looked at Liu Tangxi.

Zhang was also happy, but there was something else in her eyes.

After dark, Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu came back.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.

After a while, Zhou took the things and took her daughter to Liu Tangxi's room.

Liu Tangxi looked at the silver earrings in Zhou's hand and refused.

This pair of silver earrings was worth at least two taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money for a country person. She didn't dare to take it, nor was she willing to ask for other people's wealth.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time. Liu Tangxi took the earrings and put them in Wei Fuyao's hand, saying that they would be used as makeup for her in the future. Only then was the matter over.

After Zhou left, Liu Tangxi quickly blew out the candles and lay down on the bed.

Thinking about what Zhou said and did during the day, Liu Tangxi felt a little uneasy.

One is because of Wei Hanzhou, and the other is because of Wei Fuyao.

Wei Fuyao is only five years old now, the right age to go to kindergarten.

However, this is ancient times, not modern times. There are no kindergartens. Not only are there no kindergartens, but there are no elementary schools, middle schools, or universities for girls. Moreover, most girls are illiterate. After a few years, when they grow up, they will have to work in the fields, and after a few more years, they will have to get married.

She is still young now. When Zhou's baby is born, as the elder sister, she will help take care of her younger siblings. In two or three years, when she is 18 years old, she will start cooking and washing clothes. In a few years, she will go to the fields, and in a few years, she will get married.

This life just passed like this.

Liu Tangxi suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility.

I have paid much attention to the issue of teaching and supporting the children. ,,
