Su Yueling originally liked this story written by Yuan Suijun and often asked the theater troupe to rehearse the story.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Suijun would actually make a background and give it to her as a birthday gift. He was really thoughtful.
Well, this year, he will be twenty years old. Turning twenty seems to be a very important stage for men of this era. She will have to think of a suitable gift for Yuan Suijun by then.
Although Yuan Suijun also said that he hoped that she could buy the crown and hat, it would be too perfunctory to just give him a hat. Anyway, there are still a few months until then, so just take your time.
Su Yueling suddenly had an idea and placed the porcelain doll Wu Shu had made for her at the door of the county government office, as if she herself had entered the story in the storybook.
She looked at this, her eyes curled up, and she looked extremely excited.
After she admired it for a while, Yuan Baoshu continued to take out the gift given by her second brother.
"Second brother and Mr. Wei prepared this for you." She herself didn't know what was in it.
Su Yueling opened the mahogany box and found a grape hairpin inside. Each grape was made of agate, and the vines were made of gold. They were very delicate, just like works of art. There was a piece of paper next to the box.
Su Yueling picked up the paper and found that it was still an instruction manual. There was a secret hidden in the hairpin, which was hollow. There was enough poison in it to bring down the tiger.
Yes, this thing can be worn and can also be used for self-defense. Although she will definitely not use it, it is what the two of them want. This drug was obtained by Mr. Wei. Sui Feng probably saved the money for the hairpin.
, Judging from this hairpin, I am afraid that all the money he usually saves has been spent on this, and his love for this little brother is not in vain.
In addition to her family members preparing gifts for her, the villagers also gave her gifts, mostly purses and food.
Su Yueling is quite picky in this regard, and basically shares her food and purses with those around her.
The ladies she met last month also asked their servants to send them birthday gifts, which was considered thoughtful. Wu Shu had already registered all these gifts and would definitely have to repay them in the future.
Su Yueling also liked the gifts Wang Jia sent. She directly sent two small screens, and they were all double-sided embroidered. The embroidery was the two pictures she asked Yuan Suijun to draw at that time. Su Yueling was thinking at that time
I just asked her to choose a painting to embroider, but she didn't expect that she just made two pictures.
Yuan Suijun's paintings, coupled with Wang Jia's embroidery skills, the works presented can be called works of art without any craftsmanship.
Su Yueling held it in her hand and couldn't put it down.
Yuan Baoshu is now considered a person who has seen the world. When she saw this, she couldn't help but sigh: "What a delicate job."
The corners of Su Yueling's lips curled up, "You think this is good too, don't you? I'm going to hire her to teach our embroiderer."
The embroidery lady in the house is naturally good at craftsmanship, but her areas of expertise are different from Wang Jia's. Wang Jia's double-sided embroidery has obviously been specially learned from a master in this field. It just allows them to complement each other.
She could also hire her to help make some handkerchiefs and purses every month. Wang Jia spent a few taels of silver to ask the villagers to help her build a house. Her house was the size of a house, so it didn't take much time. She built it five days ago.
After the construction was completed, Wang Jia officially moved to Lushan Village.
As for the tricks, Su Yueling would usually let Yuan Suijun paint. But Yuan Suijun has gone to the capital now and may not be able to come back for a few months, so he can only let Wu Shu come. Although Wu Shu's level is not as good as Yuan Suijun, but
It's okay to kill most people instantly.
She pointed to the snow-blue satin that Baoshu had specially dyed for her, and said, "Shu Shu will help me draw some pictures later, and then I'll ask Wang Jia to help embroider pictures on this cloth."
Wu Shu immediately agreed, and she could start painting tonight.
Overall, Su Yueling had a very happy birthday.
…
Wu Shu usually paints when he has nothing to do, and he has accumulated several paintings in his hand. Two of them are suitable for embroidering on this snow-blue silk satin. The other few can also be used for double-sided embroidery.
She took the drawing paper and cloth and walked to where Wang Jia lived.
Perhaps it was to have someone to help with the chores in life so that he could concentrate on his embroidery work, or perhaps to have someone to accompany him, Wang Jia also bought a girl about twelve years old to do housework by his side.
Wu Shu saw Wang Jia looking relaxed and obviously in a good mood.
Wu Shu's lips curled up, "Have you encountered any happy events?"
Wang Jiamei smiled broadly and said, "I received news that my ex-husband got married on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"The bride is not the young lady from the next village that he fell in love with before, but the concubine of our county official."
If Deng Guangliang had won the election before he was thirty years old, then Fang Yuanwai would definitely be willing to marry his legitimate daughter to him. But Deng Guangliang is now almost forty, and his son is already older, and he will be able to marry soon. He himself has offended Su Yueling.
He Yuan Suijun. Fang Yuanwai was willing to marry his concubine to him because of his fame and wanted to put the land in his name tax-free.
Wang Jia was happy that even if she was a concubine, she was still the biological daughter of a member of the Communist Party of China. If her ex-husband wanted to divorce her, it would be impossible.
Wang Jia can also truly feel at ease.
Wu Shu understood what she was thinking and said, "Congratulations."
"My wife liked the birthday gift you gave her yesterday very much, so she put it out today."
The smile on Wang Jia's face deepened, "As long as Mr. Xiang likes it!"
It was not in vain that she stayed up every day for this month to embroider those two small screens.
Wu Shu continued: "Madam really likes your craftsmanship, so I will trouble you more."
"These two pieces of cloth, one is embroidered with a squirrel holding grapes, the other is embroidered with a fisherman hiding in a stream, the pictures are both here."
"In addition, embroider ten purses and ten handkerchiefs. Just choose the pattern from these pictures."
If all of these were to be embroidered, it would take at least two months.
Wang Jia immediately agreed, no problem.
The money she made from selling embroidery last month was enough to last her a long time.
Wu Shu took out two twelve-pound gold ingots and said, "This is the reward. You will have to worry more about it next."
Wang Jia was stunned. Twenty taels of gold, isn't this just two hundred taels?
She waved her hand and said, "This is too much. How can my skills be worth so much?"
Wu Shu said: "Just accept it, otherwise I won't even dare to ask you to do these jobs."
She paused and said, "Believe in yourself, your skills are worth the money." There are very few people who can do double-sided embroidery, and they are basically monopolized by top embroidery spinners. They want to hire one
I couldn't find it when I came back.
Wang Jia was stunned. Is she worth it?
She pursed her lips and said, "I will do it well."
