Chapter 39 Where there are people, there is gossip

It turned out that this Lv Xiuniang, who was finally invited by the Ma family, was originally raised at home by a large family in the city, and specially invited several children of her to teach her.

And this embroidery woman also has several real skills. The female red is divided into nine categories, such as textile, pulp dyeing, sewing, embroidery, shoes and hats, knitting, flower cutting, face flowers, toys, etc. Ordinary embroiderers specialize in several categories, or are good at weaving, or good at embroidery, and even more powerful embroiderers even know some knitting and flower cutting.

But Lv Xiuniang is proficient in seven or eight kinds. In addition to textile and pulp dyeing, other types of Lv Xiuniang are also very good at it. It is also because of this that Lv Xiuniang became a hot embroidery master in the city. Each family wanted to invite her to her home. Finally, the price of a family surnamed Bai overwhelmed the households and invited Lv Xiuniang back to Baifu.

In order to meet the price offered by her by her employer, Lv Xiuniang taught several little women in Baifu very carefully, and several little women were also very good at her **. The red girl made was also praised by the head of Baifu, and also rewarded Lv Xiuniang with some extra things.

If Lv Xiuniang is willing to work honestly in Baifu, Baifu will not treat her badly, but this Lv Xiuniang is a little bad and always likes to steal chickens and dogs to take advantage of some small advantages. According to reason, the money Lv Xiuniang earned by herself is enough for her to eat and wear warm clothes, but she has raised such a disgraceful one. Bad habits...

At first, Lv Xiuniang just made some needles, threads, or corner fabrics in the white house that were not worth much money. The Bai family's wealth did not pay attention to this, so the stewmer in the house turned a blind eye to these little things, thinking that Lv Xiuniang taught the little women well and was liked by her husbands, and she should not know her because of these little things.

Unexpectedly, the stewling opened one eye and closed the other, but raised Lv Xiuniang's courage more and more. In the end, he was so bold that he stole the good materials in the White House and went outside to exchange it for money! Lv Xiuniang saw that the material was very rare and valuable, so she took advantage of the opportunity to go to the warehouse to get needlework and thread work and quietly stole it away.

This matter is not much, but the cloth was sent by Mrs. Bai's mother's family. Only Baifu and Mrs. Bai's mother's family have such cloth in the whole city, and there are only a few in Hui'an City. However, some people who know the goods bought the cloth and happened to send it to Baifu as a gift.

So this matter became interesting. For some reason, my cloth turned around outside and finally returned to my own hands. Isn't this just a heavy slap in the face of Mrs. Bai? The gorgeous cloth, lying in front of Mrs. Bai, is like satirizing her lax governance and letting the family have thieves out of the house...

So Mrs. Bai lost her temper on the spot and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. It was not difficult to investigate. It didn't take long for Lv Xiuniang to find out the matter that often happened in the White House. After further investigation, it was also discovered that Lv Xiuniang stole the cloth. Lv Xiuniang did not dare to deny it after seeing the house. People's confessions make things happen.

As soon as such an ugly thing is discovered by Mrs. Bai, Lv Xiuniang will naturally end up leaving. Those big families don't like to steal chickens and dogs the most, let alone tolerate such servants staying at home to teach the little lady out of the cabinet, and they have to tell the clear reason for driving people outside, so as to avoid People have to think that their Bai family is bullying others.

Therefore, after Lv Xiuniang was driven away, the ugly things she did were also exposed by the Bai family, so for a while, the big families in the city did not know, and no one was willing to ask Lv Xiuniang to come back to teach their little wife.

Lv Xiuniang originally thought that as long as she had real skills, as long as she was willing to be her middleman and introduce her to the customer, she would always find a job one day. Unexpectedly, no one in the city is willing to recommend Lv Xiuniang. No matter how high Lv Xiuniang's reward is, they won't do it. These fangs are all human elites. How can they recommend an embroidered woman with a bad criminal record to the customer and then smash their own signboard?

So in the end, Lv Xiuniang could only brazenly recommend herself door to door, but at this time, her reputation has been ruined, and no one in the whole city of Hui'an dares to invite her. After all, no one wants to invite a thief home, right?

At that time, Aunt Ma happened to invite the embroidery woman in the city and threatened to invite the most capable embroidery woman in the whole city to go back with her. However, the well-known embroidery woman in the city had several fixed customers in the city. In addition, they also looked down on the local rich man, Aunt Ma, so no one was willing to go to Xiaoqi Village with Aunt Ma. .

Lv Xiuniang also looked down on Aunt Ma, but after she was kicked out of the house by Baifu, she really couldn't get along in the city. So as soon as she heard that Aunt Ma wanted to invite someone to teach her daughter in Xiaoqi Village, she immediately took the initiative to come to her and said that she was willing to go back to the village with Aunt Ma.

The second aunt Ma came into the city and invited Xiu Niang to touch the wall several times in a row, and she was not happy. Therefore, as soon as she saw Lv Xiu Niang, whose attitude was completely different from other Xiu Niang, she felt that she was very devoted to her temper on the spot, so she did not say a word or inquire about Lv Xiu Niang's identity, and only asked Xiu Niang to embroider something on the spot. After testing her skills, she took Xiu Niang back to Xiaoqi Village at a high price.

After the second aunt invited Lv Xiuniang to go home, she was going to show off, so on the first day, she asked Lv Xiuniang to embroider a handkerchief that had never been used in the village. As soon as she was good, she deliberately took the handkerchief to show off, and even got a few goodsmen to show off, laughing at them for not selling this kind of material. OK, finely embroidered handkerchief.

With Aunt Ma's nature, she had to show off for several days before she took back the handkerchief, and some people who had been shown off and ridiculed by her were unhappy, so they quietly explored Lv Xiuniang's background when she took advantage of the gap in the city to sell fish.

The inscrutive originally just wanted to find out whether Lv Xiuniang had the real ability. If she didn't have the real ability to go back, she would just make a good job of Aunt Ma. Unexpectedly, the big guy knew that Aunt Ma had picked out the "baby" that every family in the city didn't want to go home, so the man immediately after returning to Xiaoqi Village, Take this as a joke after dinner and spread it around.

People didn't like the arrogant posture of Aunt Ma, so as soon as they learned that she had done a "wrong head", they naturally had to laugh happily enough, and let the whole village know about it, so that the big guys could use this to block her mouth and see her jokes when Aunt Ma showed off.

This matter soon reached Aunt Ma's ears. In addition, Aunt Ma was always pointed at and scolded for being "wronged" when she went out recently, and whenever she used Lv Xiuniang to show off, everyone's faces looked at her jokes, so Aunt Ma immediately sent the family's long-term worker to inquire about it.

The long worker quickly found out Lv Xiuniang's background and bad records, and after coming back, he told Aunt Ma word for word. This second aunt has always been a face-loving person, so as soon as she knew that Lv Xiuniang was swept out by a large family in the city and had no one wanted it, she immediately raised her voice and scolded her mother. Without saying a word, she rushed to her daughter's house, pulled Lv Xiuniang up, and immediately wanted to drive Lv Xiuniang away!

And Lv Xiuniang is a native of the city. She doesn't know how many people she is in the countryside than Aunt Ma. Moreover, she didn't grow up as a vegetarian, so as soon as she was caught by Aunt Ma, she immediately took out a piece of yellow paper from her pocket without hurry...

Lv Xiuniang took the yellow paper to her eyes and shook it in front of Aunt Ma. She rudely spread her hand and said, "It's enough for Mrs. Ma to ask me to leave. I will settle my wages first. As long as you settle the wages for me clearly, I will leave immediately and I won't delay for a moment."

"Would? How dare you ask me for your wages?

Lv Xiuniang's words immediately made Aunt Ma jump up. Not only did she not intend to give money, but she also pointed to her nose and scolded, "I've been serving you deliciously these days. It's good that I didn't let you return the money to me. How dare you ask me to pay you?"

"Bah! If you want to leave now, I have to ask someone to search you well! I won't ask you to do the precious things of our Ma family! You, the cheap hoof of stealing things at your master's house, still have the face to say that you are the best embroiderer in the whole Hui'an City? When I asked you, you didn't mention that you had stolen your master's house. It was clear that you wanted to deceive my second aunt Ma! Let me tell you, my second aunt Ma is not so confused!"

Aunt Ma's words immediately made the crowd laugh -- this person has been invited home by Aunt Ma to eat delicious food for several days, but Aunt Ma still dares to shout that she is not so confused?

If Second Aunt Ma is really not the one who will be easily blinded, she should have been more careful and inquire about Lv Xiuniang's bottom as early as the city, and she would not take Lv Xiuniang home at all!

So Second Aunt Ma's shouting words would only add laughter to the onlookers, and Lv Xiuniang retorted without showing weakness: "I'm not a fool, how can I mention that ugly thing? If I mention it honestly, will you still ask me to come back to teach the fourth mother's children?

"You...you really mean to hide it!" Aunt Ma cursed angrily.

"Mrs. Ma, don't mention anything 'intentional' or 'intentional'. I just want to make a living. Besides, didn't I teach your fourth wife well? Look, I've only been at your Ma's house for a few days, and the fourth lady's skill has improved a lot. It can be seen that the money you invited me is not wronged at all.

Lv Xiuniang's calm look made Aunt Ma feel very dazzling, so as soon as Lv Xiuniang finished speaking, Aunt Ma stabbed her on the spot and scolded, "I pooh! I will invite a clean embroidered woman back to teach me again. My fourth mother's work will still improve. I don't have to count on you!"

"Since Mrs. Ma wants to invite someone else to teach the fourth lady, I can only say the previous sentence again - pay me clearly and I will leave immediately."

This second aunt Ma became the laughing material of everyone in the village because of Lv Xiuniang. She hated Lv Xiuniang so much in her heart. How could she give her money again?

Aunt Ma sneered on the spot and said, "Do you want money? There is no door!"

Aunt Ma's tough attitude did not make Lv Xiuniang panic at all, but she asked again without hurry: "So Mrs. Ma is going not to follow the deed we had previously made? Mrs. Ma ignored the deed in black and white, and must have wanted to go to court with me?

Lv Xiuniang's words stunned Aunt Ma and subconsciously asked, "Is it in court? What do you mean?

"If Mrs. Ma can't understand what I said, she can ask the literate people in the village to take a closer look for you. You and I pressed the deed of fingerprints before, and Mrs. Ma will know the meaning of my words."

As soon as Aunt Ma heard Lv Xiuniang's words, she immediately called Ma Siniang out and asked her to read the deed, but Ma Si Niang only recognized the word for a few days. How could she understand the deed? Finally, I asked the old scholar in the village to read it, and Aunt Ma didn't know what was written on the deed and what it meant.

It turned out that Lv Xiuniang was very shrewd. As early as when she talked to her second aunt Ma about the size of the Ma family as Xiu Niang, she knew that the ugly things she had done would always reach the new customer's ears one day. Therefore, when she signed the deed with Ma's second aunt at that time, she deliberately coaxed Ma to sign it for five years. After pressing the red fingerprints on the deed, the two of them specially went to the government to stamp the red deed...

That is to say, Second Aunt Ma can't fire Lv Xiuniang for no reason within five years, otherwise she will have to compensate Lv Xiuniang a lot of money! The deed of these terms is clearly written in black and white. If Aunt Ma and Lv Xiuniang really bring this matter to the government, it will only be Aunt Ma who will suffer.

After listening to Lao Xiucai's words, the second aunt immediately collapsed on the ground and cried regardless of her image: "It was this little hoof who deliberately set a trap for me to drill. I don't know what is written in this deed, and I don't know that I can't fire her within five years, let alone that if I want to fire her, I have to pay money. Give it to her..."

As soon as Aunt Ma said this, the onlookers felt strange. Those who had good deeds asked more, "Aunuch Ma, you can't read and don't know what is written on the deed, so why do you cover the red handprint? It's not that Lv Xiuniang forced you to press your fingerprints, is it? Look at the figure of the two of you, it's almost enough for you to twist her to press her fingerprints..."

As soon as this came out, there was another burst of laughter, and Aunt Ma didn't care about maintaining any face in front of everyone at this time. She directly put on a splashing posture and pointed at Lv Xiu Niang and scolded...

"This little hoof said that their city people invited Xiu Niang to set up a deed, and also said that the deed was just a walk-by. She also said that what was written above was what I discussed with her - that is, how much money to give her every month, how many meals to eat and so on! I also specifically asked her if the deeds made by the big guy were the same. She obviously said the same as me, but she actually used lies to coax me!"

When Aunt Ma said enough, Lv Xiuniang next to her said slowly, "Mrs. Ma, what you said is wrong. Our city people will indeed set up a deed by inviting Xiu Niang, but this deed is also divided into many kinds. You and I only set up one of them, isn't it? Do we have to set up a thing to count?"

Lv Xiuniang's words are not a lie. Large families in the city will indeed invite Xiu Niang for several years. In this way, most of the people who invite the same Xiu Niang for a long time are large families with big businesses. Generally speaking, as long as this Xiu Niang is well taught and does not make any big mistakes, these large families will always leave them in the house, and even They will stay in the house for retirement.

However, there are also some large officials who only hire short-term embroiderers. After all, officials have to change to another place in three or five years. It is impossible to stay in one place for too long, and local embroiderers are unwilling to leave their hometown with their customers. Therefore, such people hire more short-term embroiderers, or help the family make some clothes and other things, or teach the children of the family to be red.

And Lv Xiuniang just has more heart and signed a long contract with Aunt Ma. Judging from the age of Ma Si Niang, it is not long to study with Lv Xiuniang for five years. Many large families in the city will also let the little lady learn from Xiu Niang for five or six years, which is not considered Lv Xiuniang's second aunt Ma.

Lv Xiuniang first explained the different forms of the deed, and then said unhurriedly, "The monthly money on this deed is indeed what Mrs. Ma promised at the beginning, but I dare not add any more. Besides, after I finished writing the deed, didn't I ask Mrs. Ma to have a look? You read and said that there was no problem, and then we pressed the red handprints one after another. Why did Mrs. Ma suddenly change her words and say that she didn't know the content of the deed at all?

Lv Xiuniang's words suddenly made Aunt Ma blush, and the onlookers covered their mouths and laughed rudely. What's more, people who didn't like Aunt Ma exposed Aunt Ma's lies on the spot: "Yo, Aunt Ma, you don't know that this pole is a word 'one', but you know how to read the dense on the deed. Word, when did you secretly learn a lot of knowledge?

"Hahaha, is it possible that Aunt Ma doesn't want to read until she is old?"

"Oh, this is amazing. There is going to be a female scholar in our village!"

The onlookers' words and my words made other people laugh and take this opportunity to give the evil spirits of being ridiculed by Aunt Ma. These laughter attracted more and more people around the door of Ma's house to watch jokes...

And Aunt Ma was so angry that her face turned blue and red, and it took a long time to hold out a sentence: "I... I'm illiterate, how can I understand what is written in the deed? What exactly is written in the deed? Isn't it up to you? You must have seen that I couldn't read at all, so you randomly added a piece of money to the deed!"
