The villagers go to bed early.
If anyone in the compound is disobedient, Wei Hong will come out of the window and say quietly, "It's late, it's time to turn off the lights and go to bed."
Of course, the only people who asked her to come to remind me every night were the unbehaved girls in the inner courtyard.
Liu Yusheng is used to it. As long as Aunt Hong's voice sounds, she immediately turns off the lights, otherwise the person at the window can repeat that sentence until you have no love.
In another room, hearing Wei Hong's voice, Liu Muqiu hurriedly turned off the light, climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt to cover herself, raised her ears, and quietly listened to the movement outside.
After a while, I felt that the people outside had already left, and got up again quietly, lighting up the oil lamp, and supporting the embroidered cloth with the dim light.
Flicking a needle and a thread, looking at the embroidered cloth in front of him, there is always a soft smile at the corner of his mouth.
Thanks to the cultivation of the Li family back then, I can have embroidery skills. In order to allow the children of the family to sell for better prices in the future, the Li family has paid great attention to the training of women in the family since childhood.
Masters have been invited to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Among all the skills at that time, the one she studied most hard was embroidery.
Because this is a craft that can make a living.
When she was still very young, she had made up her mind. As long as she could learn this craft well, she would have nothing when she could leave Li's house in the future. She had a craft in her hands and was not afraid that she would starve to death.
So compared to other sisters in the family, her embroidery is extremely good, and her skills are complicated.
Seeing her hard work, the embroidery master taught her more carefully. She even gave her many complicated embroidery techniques, including Su embroidery, Shu embroidery, and double-sided embroidery.
Looking at the thread just embroidered on the embroidered fabric in front of me, for the entire layout, this is just the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the ocean. But Liu Muqiu can already foresee the grandeur when the whole work is completed.
She is confident that she can embroider perfect works.
After thinking for a while, there was a babble at the door, which made her hand shake with fright, and the embroidery needle fell out of her hand.
I thought it was Aunt Hong who came to urge her to rest again, but when I looked up, I saw Liu Yusheng squeezed in from the door.
The little girl stood on tiptoe, sneaky, and looked like a thief, holding several small lanterns in her hand.
Go into the room, place the lanterns around her, turn on the lights one by one, and the whole room will light up instantly.
"囡囡..." Liu Muqiu knew the girl's intention to come, and his eyes were slightly hot.
"You know that you will not be at peace. Embroidering under the dim light of a small oil lamp, your eyes will break in a short time. Make it brighter, our family doesn't need that little gas money."
The little girl leaned over, flicked her forehead, and then turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned her head and said, "No matter how impatient you are, don't hurt your body. Your bones are not good. Embroidery hurts your eyes. It has to be modest."
Liu Muqiu gently curled her lips and nodded, "I know, I will sleep in half an hour at most."
"Just remember it yourself. I'll go to bed first, and I'm sleepy." The little girl yawned and went out, turning around to help her gently close the door.
Liu Muqiu looked at the closed door. After a while, he lowered his head and quickly threaded the needle.
Fingers are like flying butterflies, drawing beautiful colors with needles and threads on the white embroidered cloth.
Two days after the Wang clan left, Chen Qiming from the Chen family visited the house in person.
Brought a gift over to make amends.
Looking at her older brother, who was much older than before, Chen Xiulan's mood was complicated.
The attitude of Lao Liu's family towards Chen Qiming is much better than those towards Wang's.
The Liu family knew who was a person and who was a ghost.
Chen Qiming didn't stay in Liu's house for long. He rushed over in the morning, had lunch, and hurried home.
The floods struck, and the entire Xiushui Village was not spared.
Fortunately, their family has Chen Xiulan to help, and Chen Qiming used to plant an orchard and saved a sum of money to renovate the house and live anew. It will be enough to survive until next year.
And their family is already in an excellent situation in the village. There are many people who can't even renovate their houses, so they can only live among the broken walls, and wait to slowly save money before they can build the houses.
Wang Clan secretly came to the Liu family to borrow money without telling him, not only made him look dull, but also made him feel ashamed of the Liu family and his little sister.
Just come to apologize, the Liu family generously exposed the matter, and he couldn't get past the hurdle in his heart, and he didn't have the face to stay here for a long time.
In late July, an imperial decree issued by the court spread to Cangwu Town and into Xinghua Village.
During the floods in the south, people from all walks of life who contributed money and efforts were praised.
The four major families of Yunzhou City were named in the imperial decree, and they were specially allowed to be recorded in the Yamen dossier as a commendation and a merit.
The most popular among them is the current head of the Qian family, the old man Qian Baihao.
During the disaster relief in Yunzhou, Mr. Qian used his own efforts to raise 1.2 million taels of donations, all of which were donated to Yunzhou for the relief of the people affected by the disaster and the reconstruction of the disaster area.
This is great benevolence and righteousness, and business has virtue.
The imperial court specially granted him the title of benevolent merchant, and specially selected the Qian family as the imperial merchant for this term for a period of three years.
Three years later, there will be a re-election. The winner wins.
This time the Qian family was elected, and it is well deserved.
He was already the richest man in Nanling, and with the name of a benevolent businessman, other businessmen had no way to compete with the Qian family.
After Qian Wanjin heard the news, the smile on his face had not fallen off all day.
After so many years, their Qian family finally climbed to the highest position, became the first rich businessman, and became the emperor merchant.
On this day, there was a whole day of lively in the Liu family compound, and the various wine shops were also very lively.
Especially Xinghua Village Wine Shop. They can almost be said to have accompanied Liu Yusheng and Qian Wanjin to grow up together.
The two little girls and boys at the beginning have now grown into adults, and their respective backgrounds are getting stronger and stronger. For the wine shop, these factors will also make the wine shop more cohesive.
If the owner has the ability, the wine shop will become more and more famous, and the workers who can work in the workshop will be more envied.
Anyone who works in the wine shop seems to have a label attached to their bodies.
In Liu Yusheng's words, the man is called Gao Fushuai, and the woman is Bai Fumei. These families have also become the target of unmarried men and women competing for a blind date.
Now in the entire Cangwu Town and even Xiangshan County, there are children in the family who want to marry, and the first object of choice must be someone in the family who works in a wine shop. It seems that a kind of ethos has formed.
