Just as Gu Qingcheng continued to eat melon seeds and Han Jiaojiao was lost in thought, a woman walked in from outside.
"Oh? What snack?"
Gu Qingcheng and Han Jiaojiao turned their heads at the same time. Although they looked different, their temperaments were very similar, and both of them had childlike eagerness on their faces.
"Lotus Crisps! I specially asked the guys at Baiweizhai to fry them in vegetable oil."
After staying in the county town for a few months, Zhao Yuanyi seemed to have been reborn. He wiped his hands with a wet towel skillfully, then took out the snacks and divided them into the small plates he brought with him.
Her hands were slender and white, with neatly trimmed nails. They could be used as a hand model in future generations.
She has a peaceful smile and exudes elegance from the inside out.
She is completely different from the dark-skinned village girl from last year.
If someone who didn't know her saw her, they would never imagine that she came from a farming family. They would only think that she was a daughter of a wealthy family who was carefully brought up.
Zhao Yuanyi knew very well that all the changes he had undergone were thanks to his aunt.
She had originally wanted to follow her aunt to the county just to broaden her horizons and improve her social status a little.
If my service satisfies my aunt, I might even make her a new dress or give her a small piece of jewelry.
And these will become her "dowry" when she gets married.
Zhao Yuanyi never dreamed that her life would undergo such a drastic change.
Her aunt actually sent her to the next door to learn embroidery.
Nanny Zhou is very good at embroidery and is willing to teach everyone she knows.
Zhao Yuanyi cherished this opportunity very much and studied hard.
In two months, she was able to embroider some exquisite patterns.
After learning how to do showwork, Zhao Yuanyi not only made clothes for her aunt and cousin, but also learned to embroider handkerchiefs and purses.
Firstly, it is for practice;
Secondly, I also want to make some money to repay my aunt.
Nanny Zhou’s stipend, the fabrics and silk threads needed to learn embroidery, etc., all cost money.
Although Zhao Yuanyi didn't say it, he remembered all these accounts clearly in his heart.
Auntie was kind to her, but she couldn't be without conscience.
Zhao Yuanyi thought of selling the embroidery and giving the money to her aunt.
Maybe it can't offset my own expenses, but at least it can prevent my aunt from suffering too much.
Gu Qingcheng did not stop Zhao Yuanyi from doing this.
Gu Qingcheng did not refuse the money earned by Zhao Yuanyi.
She is not short of money, but Gu Qingcheng is too familiar with the principle of gratitude for a little and resentment for a big.
She is also extremely proficient in the art of controlling people!
This is a later story, let’s not talk about it for now.
Zhao Yuanyi often went there to sell embroidery, and after a while, she caught the eye of the owner of the embroidery shop.
The owner's surname is He. His ancestors were embroiderers, so his descendants opened an embroidery shop.
However, the descendants did not seem to inherit their ancestors' talent for embroidery.
Especially in the last one or two generations, the daughters in the family have all been of mediocre talent.
The He family had no choice but to hire embroiderers from outside or purchase embroidery products from outside.
The appearance of Zhao Yuanyi made He Dongjia's eyes light up.
She is an authentic Suzhou embroidery artist. Although her technique is a little immature, it is probably because she is a beginner. With time, she will surely achieve great success.
He has a clean family background, good looks, is patient, and exudes a noble demeanor in his every move.
He Dongjia began to pay attention to Zhao Yuanyi, and then he was surprised to find that -
Zhao Yuanyi's aunt turned out to be the famous Mrs. Gu in the county, and a close friend of Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui is the first lady of the county.
The Ho Tung family gave 10% of their shares in the embroidery shop to Mrs. Cui.
If his son married Zhao Yuanyi, he would not only have a wife with superb embroidery skills, but also have a relationship with Mrs. Cui.
Not to mention the reputation of the Zhao family, which made Gu Qingcheng's operation really good.
When a woman gets married, she has to buy a pig to look after.
When a man chooses a daughter-in-law, why doesn’t he also consider the family tradition?
In fact, marrying a wife requires much more caution than marrying a daughter.
Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations.
If the Zhao family has a bad reputation and everyone in the family is a troublemaker, no matter how good Zhao Yuanyi's conditions are, the He family will have to think twice.
As for the Zhao family's "real" situation, there are virtuous wives, kind parents-in-law, close brothers and sisters-in-law, filial children and grandchildren, and loving elders...
Oh my god!
Such a family is reassuring to hear about.
The fact that Zhao Qingyun is a well-known child prodigy in the county and a future blue chip stock is not the key reason!
So, He Dongjia invited the county's official matchmaker and solemnly went to Zhao Qingyun's house to propose marriage.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I expected it a long time ago. Not a surprise at all.
Zhao Qingyun raised his eyebrows slightly: ...If my cousin marries into the He family, it would be a good destination.
Zhao Yuanyi: ...
I was so surprised that I felt like I was in a dream.
It took her a long while to react after the matchmaker had left.
Then, Zhao Yuanyi knelt down at Gu Qingcheng's feet and kowtowed three times.
She didn't say a word, because her gratitude to Auntie could not be expressed in words.
She only knew that her aunt was her benefactor.
She will never be able to repay Auntie’s kindness in her lifetime!
When the news reached Zhaojiazhuang, the Zhao family mansion and the Zhao clan members were all stunned...
