She understands the principle of not trying to do too much at once. If she doesn't master one thing before trying to learn another, she might end up with a jack of all trades and master of none.
She now feels that her skills are pretty good. Although she can't compare to the top tier of people, she is still at a high level. So now she wants to learn double-sided embroidery, which she is particularly interested in.
Tang Baozhu found double-sided embroidery particularly magical, as both sides were completely different. It was rare to have both money and leisure time, so she was sure to develop some other hobbies to avoid life being so long and monotonous, which would be quite boring.
Hongjie didn't refuse outright, but she didn't agree immediately either. After all, those embroiderers were the ones who earned money for her, and if she lent them out, they wouldn't be back in a month or two; it might take a year or two.
Even if he agreed, it was still a question whether the embroiderers would agree. After all, their embroidery skills were so superb that they earned a considerable amount of money in a year. So, he reluctantly told Baozhu what he was thinking.
Upon hearing this, Tang Baozhu thought it was something serious. "Sister Hong, I don't want to make things difficult for you. Even if the embroiderers come to my residence, they can still take on embroidery work and earn money. This won't prevent them from making money. They just need to give me some pointers when they have free time. I'll even pay them. It's such a good deal, I don't think they'll refuse. Why don't you ask them for me?"
When Sister Hong heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Losing one embroiderer was a great loss to her. Now, she could earn money without interruption, and the embroiderer could have an extra source of income. No one would be unwilling to do that.
“This way, Baozhu’s sister can be considered as giving them an extra source of income. I don’t think anyone would be unwilling to do so. I just don’t know what kind of teacher you need, so I can ask around for you.”
"Thank you so much, Sister Hong. I'm looking for a double-sided embroidery master. I don't need the master to be a great teacher, just someone who can teach me."
"Okay, no problem."
When Tang Baozhu returned from her trip, she brought with her a double-sided embroidery master. The master wasn't very old, around 40 years old, and her eyes were still very sharp, unlike those older embroiderers whose eyesight became blurry and unclear by the time they reached 40.
Everyone probably has their own secret formula, but I don't need to use it myself. After all, I don't have any pills. One pill can regulate everything in the best way.
An extra 100 taels of silver per year was given to the embroiderers as additional income.
The amount of money isn't much, but since I'm learning their skills, this amount of money is reasonable. They'll eat and live at home, provide clothes for all four seasons, and keep their monthly allowance.
Li Jun had no objection to Tang Baozhu hiring an embroiderer. As long as his wife was happy, that was all that mattered. He also knew that his wife was a bit lonely at home because Xiao Ping'an had gone to a private school. Now that she could find something she was interested in to do, he was even happier than his wife.
After the embroiderer officially moved in, Tang Baozhu began teaching her double-sided embroidery the very next day. The embroiderer was quite serious about it; after all, she had to do her best since she was being paid. Tang Baozhu was quite satisfied with her.
The embroiderer stayed at Tang Baozhu's house for a year and a half. Once Tang Baozhu had learned double-sided embroidery, she bid farewell and left. After all, there was nothing more to teach her. All that was left was to practice more so that the double-sided embroidery could become more natural and flexible.
For the past year and a half, they had been unable to conceive their second child. Tang Baozhu even considered using some mystical methods, such as the "Pregnancy Elixir," if she still couldn't get pregnant.
Less than two months after the embroiderer left, Tang Baozhu found out she was a month pregnant, which finally put her mind at ease. She had been wondering if there was something wrong with her body, otherwise, how could she not get pregnant when she was always healthy?
It turns out that my body is in excellent condition. Perhaps the more you rush it, the less likely it is to come. But when you stop rushing and start using methods, it actually comes.
Tang Baozhu and Li Jun were both praying, hoping that the baby in her belly would be a girl.
Li Jun wanted a daughter for his second child because he already had a son, while Tang Baozhu wanted a soft, cuddly little girl because she had given birth to two boys in her previous life.
The following days were spent quietly resting at home during the pregnancy. Xiao Ping'an would often look at Tang Baozhu's belly and whisper that he wanted a little sister.
Tang Baozhu felt there was a two-thirds chance it was a girl. After all, this baby in her belly was much bigger than her first pregnancy, even bigger than the twins in her previous life. She knew there were definitely more than two children in her belly, at least three.
While Tang Xiucai's lineage certainly doesn't have the gene for twins, who knows if Li Jun's lineage does? After all, Li Jun was picked up halfway through his life.
Sometimes, she would let her imagination run wild, thinking that Li Jun's family must have the gene for twins, and that maybe there were too many boys in the family, and he was the one who was abandoned.
Every time he saw his wife, he would laugh uncontrollably at his own idea. He always looked confused, but his wife would never explain it to him.
They didn't bring it up until they were both quite old, and it's funny how imaginative they were back then.
When Tang Baozhu was six months pregnant, her belly was much bigger than when other women were about to give birth, and she could sense that there were probably three babies inside her.
After all, she had given birth to triplets in the first small world, and her belly now is no different from then, it's the same size.
Li Jun rarely goes to the countryside now. He stays at home every day, afraid that something might happen to his wife and he wouldn't be able to get back in time.
Tang Baozhu wasn't worried. Firstly, she had already experienced it before, so she wasn't afraid. Secondly, she had so many good things that she wasn't worried about being in danger at all.
Sometimes she would even comfort Li Jun, telling him not to be so anxious, and that he would definitely come out when the time was right.
Li Jun always agreed readily, but the next time he was supposed to be nervous, he was still just as nervous.
Tang Baozhu once woke up in the middle of the night with a leg cramp and found him looking at her with a nervous expression. She was almost scared to death by him.
I quickly slapped him and made him massage my legs. I figured he must not be tired to have so much free time to think about all sorts of things. I decided to find him more things to do to stop his wild thoughts.
The next day, as soon as Tang Baozhu woke up, she started bossing him around. She was dissatisfied with this and asked him to change it, and she was dissatisfied with that and asked him to make changes. As a result, when it was time to go to bed at night, he quickly fell asleep snoring.
