I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Si Nan stayed up all day and all night, almost blinded, and finally embroidered a butterfly.

More than one, to be exact.

Because it was used to teach others, he first embroidered an outline according to the steps, then moved a place, and embroidered the part according to different stitches.

It is precisely because it is different from ordinary embroidery that there is no way to go directly to the store to buy it.No one is willing to pass on such a precious craftsmanship.

Zhao Lingxi looked at the embroidered tent, then at Sinan, and said solemnly: "I agree to this marriage. From today onwards, I will no longer call you Brother Nan, but only 'Sister Qiuqiu'."

Sinan raised his eyebrows, "I'll give you a chance, say it again."

Zhao Lingxi wisely changed her words: "Brother!"

Sinan patted her on the head, "Good boy, go to business, and let your Brother Qiuqiu please credit you on the book later."

"Thank you brother-in-law!" Zhao Lingxi clasped her fists nonchalantly, and went to look for Jiang Xiaohua with a smile.

I have already thought about the words, "I learned Bian embroidery from my mother since I was a child, but I didn't have much talent. My mother always wanted to take in an apprentice and pass on the craftsmanship, but she didn't find a suitable one until she died. I heard that my sister wanted to learn Bian embroidery the other day. Embroidering, I thought about it, if my sister can embroider with me, it can be regarded as fulfilling my mother's dying wish."

What Zhao Lingxi said was half truth and half false.

It is true that her biological mother knew how to embroider, and because of this skill, she was favored by the late concubine and offered to Zhao Yun as a concubine.However, accepting apprentices and the like is pure nonsense.

Jiang Xiaohua was pleasantly surprised and embarrassed: "Others would offer tea and kowtow to Master when they were apprentices, and they would serve Master around for three to five years. Now that Ling Ci is gone, even if I want to apprentice, how can I serve her old lady?"

Zhao Lingxi chuckled, "She's not here, but her daughter is here. It's enough for Sister Xiaohua to serve me."

"Little ghost." Jiang Xiaohua poked her forehead, and couldn't help being more intimate.

Although she wanted it so much, she didn't agree.

To put it bluntly, I don't want to take advantage of it.

Later, Mrs. Jiang found out, hesitated all night, and finally made up her mind. She bought a gift that was three times heavier than usual, and asked Jiang Xiaohua to kowtow to the bracelet left by Zhao Lingxi's biological mother, respectfully. Appreciation ceremony.

Mrs. Jiang's attitude towards Zhao Lingxi has changed significantly. She brings her snacks every day, and stops every time she walks across the street to say hello.

However, she was still very afraid of Sinan and the men, and never took the initiative to talk to them.

Zhao Lingxi's method of teaching people is very special, she never takes the initiative to touch the needle and thread, but dictates the main points, and takes the pattern Si Nan embroidered for Jiang Xiaohua to follow.

Jiang Xiaohua was puzzled: "Qiaoqiao, don't you use embroidery needles?"

Zhao Lingxi pretended to be profound, "You don't know, this is the teaching method of Bianjing City. The master embroidered the pattern in advance, so that you can see your talent according to your comprehension. There are more than a dozen people in a room. A embroiderer, which one is worth cultivating and which one needs to be kicked out, the master can tell at a glance."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded quickly, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Qiaoqiao, I will study hard and not let Master and her old man down."

Zhao Lingxi put her hands behind her back, showing a full posture, "Today's Qiaoqiao is no longer yesterday's Qiaoqiao, Junior Sister Xiaohua, I will call you Senior Sister when we meet in the future."

Jiang Xiaohua pursed her smile and let out a soft cry.

Zhao Lingxi answered solemnly, turned around and winked at Jiang Xiaoduo who was behind the door, making the little girl smile coquettishly.

Originally Zhao Lingxi wanted to teach her together, but Mrs. Jiang disagreed.Again, I don't want to take advantage.

Zhao Lingxi accepts Jiang Xiaohua, the Jiang family is already very grateful, and will not be cheeky enough to push another Jiang Xiaoduo.

One must know that at this time people took the handicraft inheritance very seriously. If Zhao Lingxi's biological mother was still alive, Jiang Xiaohua would serve her as her own mother.

Now Jiang Xiaohua already regards Zhao Lingxi as her own sister in her heart, and will only get along as a relative in the future.

She has a calm temperament and can sit still. She can embroider seven or eight points just by following the pattern, and after listening to Zhao Lingxi's guidance, the charm overwhelms Sinan.

Zhao Lingxi secretly marveled in her heart, feeling even more pity.If Jiang Xiaohua was born in the county prince's mansion, she would probably do better than her!

Next to Jiang's house is a tailor's shop, and there are often embroiderers working in the shop on weekdays.

When the ladies heard that Zhao Lingxi could embroider, they would always take the initiative to greet her.It's not for any benefit, it's purely out of respect for the artist.

When the family first moved in, the neighbors were somewhat wary. Now that they have been together for a while, they found that "Yue Dalang" is a down-to-earth and hardworking person, and "Yue Sanlang" is enthusiastic and loves to laugh. The two "cousins" are all upright people, and everyone's guard is slightly lowered.

Although this place is closed, it is also simple; although it is exclusive, it also protects its shortcomings.There are women who gossip and gossip, and there are simple and friendly tailors.

Si Nan is used to being a man. From time to time, he would send a bowl of sliced ​​noodles to the owner, a plate of pickles to the west, and when it was cloudy and snowy, he would send a bowl of hot soup to the tailor shop and dim sum shop opposite, quietly gaining a good relationship.

When he wrote to Tang Xuan as "Yue Junjun", he reported his progress very proudly.

After writing the letter, he made a pair of ankle-protecting "snow boots" as "Sinan". They were thick-soled, suede, and decorated with warm rabbit fur inside the shoes, keeping them warm and stylish.

Sinan secretly sent back to Bianjing, and from Bianjing to Hejian Daying.

He still remembered the first pair of sandals he made for Tang Xuan, the stitches were crooked, and he himself felt ashamed.

Ever since he picked up the embroidery needle, his childhood memories were gradually awakened. Pictures of learning how to sew with his grandma were displayed in front of him one after another, and Sinan's handicrafts also improved miraculously.

He couldn't help wondering if it was because of time travel that he "refurbished" his memories from childhood to adulthood.

The strange thing is that most of what he remembered was before the age of eight, and the later school experiences were still vague, and he couldn't even remember the college entrance examination questions back then.

Before Tang Xuan received the "snow boots", he first received a letter from Zhao Lingxi.

Zhao Lingxi made up a love story of bamboo horses and bamboo horses, describing Sinan as a little fairy boy who received the favor of Tang Xuan Yulu in his previous life and came back to continue his relationship in this life. He wants to repay Tang Xuan with his life's love...

In the end, he asked in huge fonts: "Brother Qiuqiu, do you believe it? If you believe it, lend me my favorite Zhuangzi for two days."

Tang Xuan didn't reply, but only sent her a land deed for Hot Spring Village in the south of the city.

The person who sent the letter came from Bianjing, with a message: "The king of the county said, if you like it, I will give it to you."

Zhao Lingxi jumped three feet high.

Brother Qiuqiu believed it!

Brother Nan lost!

She wants to take Brother Nan to Brother Qiuqiu's hot spring village to have fun!

Si Nan wrote to Tang Xuan: "Don't you need my consent to send Zhuangzi? Do you know what is the joint property of husband and wife? If your husband (that is, me) disagrees, you have the right to give Zhuangzi away?"

When he saw this letter, Tang Xuanzheng was walking around the camp with "snow boots" and Di Yong—before that, he was reluctant to come out, especially when he was melting snow recently, where there was mud everywhere.

In order to show off the new shoes, Tang Xuan not only came out, but also deliberately put on a neat and sharp outfit, without straight embellishments or a cloak, and exposed the shoes carelessly.

All the soldiers in the battalion saw it.

Whenever someone has the courage to boast, Tang Xuan will give a rare smile, and say in that gentle voice like a guqin: "Brother Nan did it."

After showing off the shoes, I bought a whole pig out of my own pocket, set up a pot, boiled water, threw away the big pieces of meat, cut up cabbage, radish, dried beans, and the "pig" from Bianjing. Si's Secret Slippery Rice Noodles"...

The hot fragrance wafted out for two miles, making the Liao people on the opposite side scream.

During a meal, even the Liao army on the opposite side knew that there was a small shoemaker named "Nan Geer" in Song Dynasty, and the shoes he made won the heart of King Yan.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty thought silently, bless Brother Nan to live a long life, and make a few more pairs of shoes to make King Yan so happy every day.

Before the meat was finished, Tang Xuan received a "reproach letter" from Si Nan. Not only was he not angry, but he was also pretty. He immediately sent a message to Zhao Lingxi asking her to return the title deed because "Brother Nan is not happy."

Zhao Lingxi who received the letter was petrified and remained motionless for a long time.

Si Nan didn't dare to poke her, for he was afraid that if he poked her, he would break into pieces.

Zhong Jiang quietly called Zhao Lingxi, "Now that the county lord thinks about it, he knows who he really wants to please."

Zhao Lingxi blinked, "How do you understand so well?"

Zhong Jiang smiled mysteriously, "Because I also have a sister-in-law."

Zhao Lingxi patted him on the shoulder, "I am also a degenerate from the end of the world, and you will be my 'one character teacher' from now on."

Zhong Jiang took a step back cautiously, "Don't."

He couldn't stand being called Master by Di Yong's black-bellied snake.

Zhao Lingxi rolled her eyes, and hurriedly ran to please Sinan.

Si Nan was teasing the cat outside the door, while silently observing the faces passing by on the street.

Zhao Lingxi ran out of the shop, hugged his thigh, called sister-in-law and brother-in-law, playing coquettish and shameless.

The big white cat was jealous, thinking that Zhao Lingxi was here to compete with him, so he hugged Sinan's other leg and meowed impolitely.

Zhao Lingxi is also a weirdo, so she really went back meowing.

Seeing that the two were about to scratch each other, Si Nan was holding the cat in one hand and the little lady in the other, he couldn't laugh or cry.

This scene fell into the eyes of the neighbors, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

The owner of the tailor's shop was about the same age as Mrs. Jiang, she was fat and kind, and she said to Mrs. Jiang: "I see that this month's little owner is pretty good. He is practical and capable, has a good temper, and is kind to his brothers and sisters. If he It's really interesting to Xiaoduo, I don't think it's a bad thing."

Mrs. Jiang gave her a blank look, "Why are you imitating those gossip women? Nothing!"

"Do you think there is no shadow, or do you not want to marry Xiaoduo to a foreigner?"

"Xiaoduo is just a little girl who hasn't grown up. She is not good enough for her... and I don't want her to marry a foreigner." Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips, and a bitterness flashed in her eyes.

She and her husband came from other places, and here they have no relationship, no reason, no support, if not, those women would not dare to arrange her like that.

The reason why he betrothed Jiang Xiaohua to Qian Family Dalang was because they had many brothers in their family and no one would dare to mess with them, so he wanted to find someone to rely on for his daughter.Even if Mrs. Qian was a bit more snobbish, for the sake of her daughter's future, she endured it.

As for Jiang Xiaoduo, Mrs. Jiang also hopes to find a local, not to be rich and powerful, but to be able to stand on the street and not be bullied when something happens.

In fact, this is what most people think.

The lady next door sighed softly, and said: "Xiaoduo Xiaoduo is not very old, take your time and take a look, if there is something suitable, I will speak for you."

Madam Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Right now, I really have something to entrust to my sister-in-law."

After speaking, he attached to the ear of the other party and whispered something.

The lady next door raised her eyebrows, "What are you thinking, didn't you just say you don't want to?"

Mrs. Jiang packed two catties of snacks and stuffed them for her, "Sister-in-law just ask, just do as I say."

So, when the shop was closed that day, the owner of the tailor shop entered Junjun Noodle Shop with a smile on her face.

Si Nan entertained her with good tea and water, and originally wanted to get some words out of her mouth, but unexpectedly, the lady next door dropped a bomb as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I just came here to ask, is Yue Xiaodong's family engaged? If not, I have someone here who wants to make peace with you."

The lady next door smiled and explained: "Liao Li, I shouldn't say this to you directly, but I heard that your father and Ling Ci left early, and you are the one who decides the big and small things in the family, so I don't shy away from it."

Sinan was taken aback, and for a moment didn't know how to refuse.

The lady next door thought he meant it, and said, "You have seen that kid Xiaoduo before, he is clever..."

"No, no, no," Sinan quickly interrupted, "Sister Xiaoduo comes to my house to play every day, and I only treat her as pretty."

The lady next door heard what he meant, and changed her voice: "How about Xiaohua? Even though they are engaged, the Qian family has such an attitude, and they are about to turn yellow... If you are interested, I will go and tell Miss Jiang. "

Si Nan couldn't bear it any longer, so he had to move the Lord King out, "The two young ladies are the best, it's not that I don't like it, it's just that I've already made an appointment, and I just wait for my life to get better and then I'll let him 'Welcome to the door.'

"Already engaged? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Boy's fault, I didn't answer for a while." Sinan took the hand.

The lady next door was not only not disappointed, she was also quite happy, chatted with him casually, then twisted her chubby body and left.

She didn't go back to the tailor's shop, but went into Mrs. Jiang's house.

Mrs. Jiang was waiting, and when she saw her come in, she hurriedly closed the door, "How is it? Did he agree?"

The lady next door gave her a blank look, "What do you promise? She was engaged long ago, and the little lady didn't take it because she felt sorry for her. She said that she would marry in after a good life."

Mrs. Jiang was relieved instead.

The lady next door said: "You have really thought about it, and you want to introduce that business to him?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded, "I told Uncle Qiangzi that he runs a food shop and consumes a lot of salt. Uncle Qiangzi also wants to take over this business. We didn't believe him in the past. After all these days, I think it's a reliable one. of."

The lady next door said: "Since Uncle Qiangzi has said everything, then there is no problem. However, we still need to be more cautious."

Lady Jiang nodded, she had already thought about what to do.

The next day, Jiang Xiaoduo mysteriously sent Sinan a pack of salt particles.Large particles, less impurities, slightly yellowish, better than Song Yan.

Zhao Lingxi pretended to be surprised, and asked, "Why did you bring a bag of salt? My back kitchen has a lot of them."

"It's definitely not as good as this." Jiang Xiaoduo winked at her, "My mother said it was my sister's teacher's apprenticeship, and it wasn't enough last time, so I will add it slowly. This is part of it, and there will be more next month."

Si Nan smiled and said: "Such good salt, I want to buy more, does Xiaoduo know where I can buy it?"

When Jiang Xiaoduo faced him, she was always a little shy, and said timidly: "My mother guessed that Brother Junjun would say that, she said, it's not easy to buy, if Brother Junjun really wants to buy it, she has to ask others .”

"Okay, then please ask Mrs. Jiang for help."

Jiang Xiaoduo ran away bouncing around.

Si Nan was good at gently twisting coarse salt grains, feeling dark in his heart.Obviously took a crucial step, but there is no look of joy.

It is already certain that Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Tailor, and even Jiang Xiaohua and Jiang Xiaoduo are all related to private salt.

One day in the future, the imperial court will liquidate them, what will they do with them?

Si Nan quickly wrote a letter to Tang Xuan and sent a small packet of Liao salt along the way.

Tang Xuan decided to come to the store to have a look, without telling Sinan in advance.

Fortunately, Lai Da was walking at the gate of the city and saw him riding a horse into the city from a distance. He was scared out of his wits and ran back to the shop like crazy.

Simon was also crazy.

He had promised the officials that he would never let Tang Xuan know it was him, otherwise he would have to obediently return to Bianjing.

Simon doesn't want to lose!

In desperation, he simply closed the store in a hurry, and said hello to the neighbors. If anyone came to find him, he would say that his family had gone out of the city, and he might not be able to come back in two or three days.

Although everyone was surprised, they agreed.

So, when Tang Xuan was mentally prepared and came to see this "unscrupulous" informant with a serious face, he was not seen, only the closed door and a gaudy plaque.

Well, there is an old cat squatting at the door.

In order to show his public status, he specially wore a body armor, followed by more than a dozen soldiers.

Tang Xuan knocked on the door.

No one should.

The neighbors watched, secretly wondering, what does the family have to do with the officers and soldiers this month?For some reason, the people in the city did not have much affection for the officers and soldiers.

Everyone silently reviewed what Si Nan taught them, only waiting for Tang Xuan to ask.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xuan didn't ask at all, but directly tore down the door panel, and entered the shop aggressively.

Fortunately, Si Nan had the foresight to know how his man behaved, so he hid in Zhao Lingxi's room early in the morning.

Not only hid in the house, but also got into the cabinet.

He and Zhao Lingxi occupied two alone, and Zhong Jiang's three big men squeezed one.

Tang Xuan didn't see anyone in front, so he wandered to the backyard.

Just about to enter the house, Jiang Xiaohua rushed out. Although she was scared, she still bravely stood in front of him, "This is my sister's boudoir, please stay with me, Mr. Jun."

Jiang Xiaoduo hid behind her, crying in fright.

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, turned and left.

Before I reached the door, I heard a "bang" in the room, and something heavy fell to the ground.

Tang Xuan strode back, bypassing the Jiang family sisters, and pushed open the door vigorously.

Inside the house, a white and tender "little lady" turned her back to him, and said softly and tenderly: "Master Jun, don't worry, I will go out after changing my clothes."

Tang Xuan slammed the door shut, and left with a dark face.

Why didn't the officials say that Junjun is a woman this month!

Tang Xuan felt that his eyes were hot, and he urgently needed the jerky to calm down.

In fact, the reason why he went on such a rampage today was actually to create an "accident".

One is to let Yue Junjun see his ferocity, and he dare not be unreasonable anymore; the other is to show the performance to the neighbors, so that they know that "Yue Junjun" not only has nothing to do with the government, but also has a grudge.

He did achieve his goal.

The neighbors were even guessing whether the Yue family had committed some crimes in Bianjing and fled to Hejian Mansion.

Otherwise, why would officers and soldiers come to investigate him?

Why are they hiding again?

The next day, Yuan Sande came to test him.

Si Nan hesitated for a long while, gritted his teeth, and told the "truth": "Uncle is not an outsider, so I'll tell you! Our brothers and sisters originally opened a noodle restaurant in Bianjing, and the business was booming. Gui, who secretly used some private salt, was targeted by the government, and in desperation, the whole family had to flee Bianjing."

"I swear to God, apart from buying illegal salt, our brother and sister have never done a single bad thing." Sinan looked depressed, "Uncle, do you think we can stay in Hejian?"

"It's just private salt, it's okay." Yuan Sande squinted his eyes and said, "I see that the military officer has a high rank, why did you offend him?"

Si Nan sighed: "It's not the sliced ​​noodles that were sent to Daying a few days ago! He was dissatisfied, so he came to find fault. Uncle, don't worry, I will ask someone to talk about it later, at worst, I will send him some money or pay him a gift. Get this over with."

Yuan Sande smiled, comforted him earnestly, and gave some pointers before leaving in satisfaction.

Within half an hour, everyone in the street knew that the brothers and sisters of the Yue family had bought private salt when they were in Bianjing, and they were grasshoppers on a rope!

——At this point, Tang Xuan's scene is considered to have ended successfully.Although there was no discussion in advance, Sinan still cooperated seamlessly.

The day passed like a war.

Si Nan spread out on the kang, hugged a wooden tiger, squeezed his paws, poked his forehead, and complained about Tang Xuan. He did such a big move, but he didn't know to tell him in advance. Fortunately, he was quick-witted, otherwise the truth would have been leaked.

The moment the wardrobe fell down, he quickly wrapped Zhao Lingxi's clothes, and deliberately exposed a large piece of shoulder, only to make Tang Xuan run away.

Sinan couldn't help but chuckle, as expected, this trick was the most effective.

As expected of his little Xuanxuan, straight enough.

Excited, he wrote a letter to Tang Xuan, expressing the pain of lovesickness, and finally did not forget to add a sentence at the end——

"The frontier is bitterly cold, and the night is long. Did Xiao Xuanxuan do anything to offend me?"

The letter was not sent back to Bianjing, but was sent directly to Daying in the north of the city under the guise of departing from Bianjing.

In the military tent, Tang Xuan was reading Si Nan's last letter to wash his eyes. When he saw another letter coming, he couldn't wait to call. When he read the last sentence, the jerky in his hand dropped from shock.

How did Brother Nan know? !
