"Sister Shui Lin, are you really not thinking about it anymore?". Xi Cui confirmed for the third time.
"Well, after finishing this mat, I will also help A Yao sew two thicker middle coats." Su Shuilin smiled and declined Xicui's kindness.
As the weather turned cold, Lin Siyao still wore only two single clothes. Even though the quilted jacket and winter robe had already been made, he was not used to wearing them at home, so he always said it was not cold. However, looking at her again, she was already wrapped in a thick quilted jacket. The river water in the early morning also showed signs of freezing. If it gets colder, it will be the three-nine festival with heavy snow and freezing three feet. Therefore, she planned to sew two more thicker interlayer jackets for him as soon as the work at hand was finished.
Head down and continue to fly the needle. That's right, after the black bear skin was sprayed by Lin Siyao with a burning knife, the strong smell of mutton was gone.
Later, she cut the black bear fur, which was flat like a bear, into several pieces, and according to the size of the walking bed, wanted to sew it into a rectangular fur mattress. Although the size of the big bed is still not enough when spliced together, it would be such a blessing to be able to have a thick and soft black bear skin under the x on a cold winter night.
Haha... Su Shuilin couldn't help but bend the corners of his beautiful lips when he thought of this.
"Sister Shuilin..." Xicui saw Su Shuilin's expression and knew that she was wandering in the sky again. Helplessly called out. "That's a full six taels." She added weakly. Trying to persuade her to take over the embroidery work.
The proprietress of "Yueyun Embroidery Building" invited Xicui to go upstairs to discuss the embroidery. I learned that the last time was mainly from Su Shuilin's hand, and he proposed with great interest that this time the new embroidery - I hope that Su Shuilin can also handle it personally. Liuliang is only the basic salary, if the embroidery work done is of high quality, it will definitely give a large reward like that.
The proprietress also revealed that it was one of the annual gifts that the city owner of Fanluo City would present to the officials of Jindu City at the end of the year. Not the slightest mistake can be drawn.
Therefore, Xicui calculated it again, if the quality can still be maintained this time, at least eight taels of silver can be obtained.
Eight taels, I think her mother has worked hard for most of her life, and the silver taels she has saved are only about twenty taels.

Now, if Su Shuilin nodded and accepted this embroidery job, within two months, he would be able to earn enough silver taels that ordinary farmers need to spend more than ten years of hard work and hard work.
If she Xicui had this ability, eight taels of silver would be enough for her to buy a large number of luxurious ornaments she longed for to fill her dowry.
Of course, she was purely daydreaming. The last time, she earned a sum of money that she had never dared to imagine before, so it was time to snicker. And with Su Shuilin's best help, otherwise, with his own embroidery workers, even if the delivery is on time, he may not be able to get as many silver taels.
Therefore, Xicui is very confident in Su Shuilin's embroidery work.
The problem is that the key people have not agreed to take over the embroidery work. Xi Cui really can't figure it out. Such a good opportunity, why did Su Shuilin decline it? Alas, enough for her and Lin Siyao to spend three years loosely
"Xicui, I promised Ah Yao that he would no longer be embroidering for a limited time." Su Shui explained with a shy smile.
Since it is to be dedicated before the year, it must be time-limited. It is now the fifth day of the first month of November, and it has been less than two months since the Chinese New Year. After the embroidery is completed, the embroidery building also needs to go through a series of processes such as pulp washing, cleaning, drying, softening, and mounting. Then, the time left for Xiu Niang is only one month at most.
However, according to Xicui's description, to complete this pair of about five meters wide and two meters high, it is estimated that it is used as a large-scale folding screen with eight doors. At her previous embroidery speed, except for three meals, she only concentrates on dealing with it during the day. It also takes a month or so.
Therefore, once she agrees, it means that she will have to deal with it wholeheartedly regardless of Lin Siyao's mood for a full month.

Although the six taels of silver was a lot of money, since she had promised Ah Yao that she would never accept such a nerve-wracking time-limited embroidery job, she did not want to break this promise. What's more, she has to make two sets of middle clothes for him, and a pair of new cotton boots and a pair of indoor cotton shoes for each of them. These tasks alone will take her ten days of effort. Where can there be enough time for such a tight embroidery job
"But... eight taels..." Seeing that Su Shuilin still insisted on not answering, Xicui slumped her shoulders helplessly. In fact, it has nothing to do with her at all. Even if Su Shuilin took over the embroidery work, Xiulou didn't say that he would reward her with silver. She just couldn't bear the silver of those eight white flowers. Even if it wasn't in her pocket. She didn't give up either.
"Pfft" Su Shuilin saw this and couldn't help but chuckle, "Uh... I'm sorry, Xicui. I just think your expression is too cute." Seeing Xicui's sorrowful eyes, she turned to her. , smiled apologetically.
"Cute? That's mourning, okay?" Xicui muttered. Mourning that the eight or two pieces of silver are about to enter other people's pockets, not the purse of Su Shuilin, who can be called a first-class embroidered mother in his own mind.
"Xicui, in fact, your embroidery work is not bad. If you can get rid of the rigid embroidery method, you can continue." Su Shuilin is not just comforting. After a few years of hard work, Xicui's embroidery workers are already outstanding in Fanluo City. At least, in Su Shuilin's eyes, apart from her still too conservative and conservative embroidery, there is no problem at all in other aspects.
Having said that, the embroidery method of this Great Huiguo is similar to Su embroidery. Most of the embroidery methods are very similar, and only a few are unique to Suzhou embroidery, such as random needle embroidery and pan gold embroidery. Of course, Dahuiguo also has its own unique embroidery methods, such as halo yarn embroidery, swirl embroidery, etc. These embroidery methods seem to be different from Shu embroidery but it is different from Shu embroidery. It took Su Shuilin a month to come from Xicui. Learned ten images. Because of this, Xicui admired her even more.
"Sister Shui Lin, are you comforting me?". Xicui blushed a little, and she pouted as if complaining: "The lady boss didn't ask me if I wanted to pick it up at all, she just let me persuade you to come." sloppy
"You should be more confident, Xicui." Seeing this, Su Shuilin burst into laughter.
In the coming year, Lao Xicui, who is going to talk about marriage, does these cute little actions, how to look like a child.
Immediately, I thought that it might be related to my age. Fifteen, sixteen and twenty years old are quite a bit different.

"This has nothing to do with self-confidence." Xicui also imitated Su Shuilu, sitting casually on the bench under the jujube tree, leaning against the back of the chair, squinting to bask in the warm sun that is not scorching in winter.
There is no wind today, the sun is shining. Through the few leaves that have not fallen on the jujube tree, the dappled sunlight is shining on the body, which is really warm and comfortable.
Su Shuilin closed the stitches, stretched out, and finally completed the bearskin mat. He stood up, chopped off his feet, shook the bearskin cushion, and Buddha removed the thread on it.
"It's so beautiful," Xicui said sincerely. He also admired Lin Siyao, who was busy cooking lunch for two in the kitchen.
"Sister Shuilin, Brother Ayao is so kind to you." She stretched out her hand to caress the soft and warm black bear leather pad, a little envious, but also a little emotional: "If I can also marry such a husband, I will not let me He is so tired." She clenched her fists, as if to raise injustice for Lin Siyao.
"Xicui—" Su Shuilin was a little dumbfounded.
"Xicui, between husband and wife, it's not as simple as you think." Su Shuilin reminded her emotionally: "You can't get corresponding rewards just by paying. The premise is that that person - your future Your husband must love you and protect you. However, if he really loves and protects you, he will never let you work all day long without sharing the slightest household chores with you. If this is the case, then he will also It's not worth the love and care you put into it with all your heart. Understand?". Su Shuilin's expression was a little serious.
She was thinking of her mother who was far away in Suzhou in the Republic of China. As the daughter-in-law of Su's family, you are the mistress of the house, and you have paid a lot of hard work and thought. In order to make her husband laugh, in order to have the same doting and loving care as her second mother, her mother's efforts were not enough. But the result? Su Shuilin had never seen her mother's soft smile from the bottom of her heart. Even when she was safe in her house and her children were prosperous, Heshun never laughed. At the end of the day, her father's heart was not in her. You can't see her hard work and the pain she's endured.
"Sister Shuilin..." Xicui had never seen Su Shuilin's tone and expression so solemn and condensed, and she was suddenly a little stunned.
"It's okay. I just wanted to tell you that the way of a husband and wife is the most important thing in your heart. You are married, and you will know it with your heart." Su Shuilin regained his senses, smiled and rubbed Xicui and combed a still girly bun. top of the head.
"Sister Shuilin, I'm not a child." Xicui blushed on her cheeks, and she was a little annoyed when Su Shuilin treated her as an ignorant child in her words and actions.
According to her mother, Su Shuilin was only fifteen years old. A year younger than myself. Could it be that after marrying someone, you are an adult? Those who are not married are children, right
It's no wonder that when she didn't know it, she was misled by her own mother, whether it was intentional or unintentional, and kept calling her "Sister Shuilin". Got it. However, I have been shouting horizontally and vertically for a few months, and I don't care if I continue to shout. At least, following her to improve her embroidery skills and liven up her embroidery skills, it would be nice not to be chased by her mother and force her to call others "Master". Therefore, "sister" is just "sister", and Xicui comforts herself very forcefully.
"Oh, sorry. I forgot." Su Shui smiled and stuck out her tongue. It's not that she forgot Xicui's age, but she forgot herself. Now she's only a fifteen-year-old woman.
