Shu Zhang, the owner of Shuji Embroidery House, is a widow. No one calls her boudoir name anymore. Because she ranks sixth in the family, everyone calls her Liu Niang. She is in her early thirties and has no children. She and her husband are servants of wealthy families. The family has been slaves for generations and are worthy of husband and wife at the age of age.

A year ago, the owner suddenly suffered a fire. In order to put out the fire, her husband died. She was blinded by the wooden jabs falling from the beam and her left hand was also seriously burned. Now she can't help but have scars on her left eye on her face, and the skin on her left hand was wrinkled, black scabbed and red flesh, which was extremely terrifying.

Originally, for the sake of the owner, I should have had some good pensions, but the family saw that she looked scary and felt disgusted, so they sold her to Renya at a low price. However, because of her terrible appearance, no one was willing to buy her. Renya rented her out to work as a coolie for money, and it was hard for more than a year. Fortunately, Li Shou met her and saw that she was really pitiful and the price of selling her was not high, so she bought it and planned to put it in the backyard as a thick servant. Unexpectedly, she later found that she was very beautiful. She worked in a wealthy house since she was a child, and had a good eye for embroiderer fabrics, and was very smart and capable. Therefore, she opened a small embroidery workshop and chose a few skillful girls, all of which were given to her for training and care. Because the place was not big and the cost was not high, she would develop well in the future. If it was not good, she would sew clothes and quilts for her family, which would be good.

Sitting in the flower hall, holding a bowl of hot tea in his hand and drinking slowly, Li Zaoer silently looked at Shu Zhang in front of him. Her long face, high cheekbones, slightly yellow skin, and her hair was meticulously combed. Her injured left hand was not covered. Her expression was extremely serious and indifferent. She blinded her eyes again, and she looked very shrill. The candlelight flashed, and it was as if it were said in the play. Three points were not like humans, and seven points were like ghosts.

She was very tall, with a thin body, but her back was straight, with big feet, wearing blue cloth clothes, narrow collar and small sleeves, and a green apron around her waist. Because Li Zaoer came suddenly, the little girls in the embroidery workshop were a little flustered, but she asked this one to pick up the clothes, the one to hand over the stove, pour tea, hold snacks, add braziers... and give instructions one by one, calm and orderly, and then led the three little girls to line up, standing in the hall with politeness, neither far nor near, nor close.

Whether from the appearance or action, this is a very quick and diligent woman, but obviously, it is not easy to get close to.

Maybe it’s because of this nature, maybe it’s because of the previous mistreatment, and after working hard for a while, I became indifferent to the warmth and warmth of human feelings, and I felt a little bit vicissitudes.

"Liu Niang." Li Zaoer said slowly while pondering, deliberately trying to get closer, "I came suddenly and asked you to trouble you. I'm really sorry." It was a greeting, and it was also the truth.

"Miss is so rude." Sure enough, her tone was also faint. Shu Liuniang said, "Miss Liuniang is afraid that she will be careless and neglect the girl and her aunt."

Li Zaoer smiled, put down the tea, and said, "You will know after a long time that I am not so particular. As for him..." He glanced at Yun Chaoyang's gentle appearance, pursed his lips and smiled, without saying much, and pointed to the stool on the side, "Liu Niang, sit down." Then he looked at the three girls behind Shu Liu Niang, about fifteen or sixteen. Except for looking very well-behaved, there was nothing outstanding, so he waved his hand and let them all go down.

Li Zaoer picked up the teacup again and glanced at the flower hall. The embroidery workshop was not big, so the flower hall was naturally very small, but it was quite clean. Six pairs of chairs were placed on the middle and on both sides, and it was already full. However, due to the neat and regular arrangement, the distance was moderate, it did not seem crowded. There were not many decorations. There was an embroidered horizontal plaque "Brother Embroidery Color" hanging on the middle beam. The three small tables were covered with light-colored tablecloths, embroidered lake and mountain scenery, and a pot of freesia was placed on the small table in the middle. It was not a valuable variety, but it was the season, and the tender yellow flowers were blooming in full bloom and the fragrance was everywhere.

When I smelled this fragrance, even if I was holding the coarse tea in my hand, I felt quite relaxed and happy, so I felt that the person who arranged the arrangement was indeed a bit ingenious.

"Did you set this room?" Li Zaoer asked.

Shu Liuniang sat sideways on the chair and replied lightly: "Yes."

"You chose the flowers?"

"yes."

"Are these embroidery items embroidered in the embroidery workshop?"

"yes."

Honestly, he was willing to say more words.

Li Zaoer laughed and looked at Yun Chaoyang, knocked her fingers at the teacup. The sound was crisp and very nice, "Did you embroidered it? Or are other girls?"

Shu Liuniang said, "I embroidered the plaque, and the others are those three girls, one piece for each person. I just gave me some advice."

Li Zaoer looked carefully for a while, touched the material, and nodded, "The material you chose is very suitable, and it is indeed your skill. The other artistic conceptions are good, and the composition is clever. Even if the embroidery is a bit thicker, it is also a bit uneven. Did you design it?"

"Yes." Shu Liuniang said: "Because I have to be rushing to decorate, I also want to make an embroidery pattern and separate it, so I can also teach the guests to know it. After all, there will be customers who do not need to embroider too well for various reasons, nor do they want to spend too much money. Of course, I can embroider all of them, but after all, the embroidery workshop is not something I can support. If I take on business like me, if I can't get busy, whether it's postponed or the things I handed over, it may be detrimental to the embroidery workshop's business."

Shu Liuniang finished speaking in one breath, looked at Li Zaoer, and said, "But if the girl doesn't look at her, I'll replace all three tablecloths tomorrow."

Li Zaoer smiled and said, "No, no, you are right. Besides..." She quickly scanned Shu Liuniang's blind eyes, not because of fear, but because of fear that she would mind, "Liu Niang, your eyes are very tired, right?" She remembered that if you blind one eye, the burden on the other eye would be increased. If you don't protect it properly, even if you are not blind, it will be myopia, and it will be blurry.

Shu Liuniang looked at Li Zaoer again, looking a little strange, and couldn't tell whether it was surprised or sarcastic. She simply replied: "There is not much work in the embroidery workshop now, so I'm not tired."

"But I see that you have a bad face, are you still in good condition?"

I don’t know what I thought of, but Shu Liuniang’s expression became colder, “I dare not bother the girl, Liuniang is in good condition.”

Li Zaoer didn't care about Shu Liuniang's resistance. In short, the road is full of horsepower and people's hearts will be seen over time. It is not a good thing to talk about it in a simple way. So he said, "You have worked in a wealthy family. My brother asked you to take care of this embroidery workshop because he thought you had vision and knowledge. If you go for a long time in the future, you will have to rely on your care. You must pay attention to your health. You also know that now my brother gave me this embroidery workshop. If you are tired and sick, where will I go to find such a capable person!"

"The uncle has been kind to Liu Niang, but Liu Niang dare not forget it." Shu Liu Niang replied: "The uncle has told Liu Niang about the embroidery workshop a few days ago, and asked Liu Niang to obey the girl's instructions in everything."

Li Zaoer chuckled softly and said, "What are you asking for? I am young and have few things to do. Naturally, my experience and insight are not as good as Liu Niang. This embroidery workshop really requires Liu Niang to help you."

"Liu Niang must do her best."

Although Shu Liuniang's tone was light, she could hear that she was sincere. I thought that if she got along well, she would be a loyal servant. Moreover, if she really had some skills, she would be no better.

Li Zaoer was a little happy. She took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, got up and showed it to Shu Liuniang, and said, "Come on, Liuniang, help me see how embroidered this silk handkerchief is?"

How calm and cold Ren Shu Liuniang was, she really didn't expect that Li Zaoer would come over by herself and quickly got up to take it. In a hurry, the terrifying left hand accidentally touched Li Zaoer's hand. A hint of panic passed by, and his hand shrank, as if he wanted to hide it. But when he saw that the eyes suddenly turned hard, he did not retract his hand, and he deliberately took it with both hands, saying, "Girl, sit down, Liuniang dare not be like this."

"Okay." Li Zaoer sat back, his expression remained unchanged, "This is embroidered by a little girl, and I don't know if it's still good." To be honest, it is certain that I didn't feel comfortable when I saw that hand up close, but it was more sympathy and pity, and I didn't feel disgusted. I was born in the family of the subordinates and were always servants for generations. How helpless is this, but where can I say such unfairness?

I can't help but sigh at my ordinary happiness again. Don't be rich and noble, but I hope the whole family will be safe and comfortable.

Li Zaoer thought about it, and Shu Liuniang suppressed her slight surprise. She did not see the familiar disgust in Li Zaoer's eyes. She lowered her head to look at the silk handkerchief, kneading the material in her hand, and said, "The material is good, and the embroidery is also excellent, but the embroidery is too exquisite, which inevitably makes it look dull and boring and meaningless. However, in general, it is also the best. The girl's girl's girl is already very rare." After hesitating, she looked at the silk handkerchief carefully and said, "Although there is less spirituality, it is much better than the girls in the embroidery workshop. I wonder what errands this girl is doing next to the girl? But she needs to serve her intimately? If she can be transferred to the embroidery workshop, the other girls can learn it, and the second, Liuniang also wants to study with her how to embroidery better."

"Liu Niang really thought of going with me." Li Zaoer gently stroked her palm and smiled, "I have this intention, and I plan to call her to your side, but..." She frowned slightly, her voice became deeper, and she said, "This girl is still young and doesn't understand the worldly ways. I'm afraid she will make Liu Niang worry."

Shu Liuniang was a little stunned. Looking at Li Zaoer's unhappy face, she felt a little aware of it, and then said, "What do girls want Liuniang to do? Please give me the instructions."
