The Legend of the Farm Girl

Yunfang was in high spirits and prepared to embroider a quilt cover with a pattern of birds paying homage to the phoenix. When she was working at the Shanhai Embroidery Workshop, Yunfang's embroidery of birds paying homage to the phoenix was the most admired by the shopkeeper Huang, who always gave her six taels of silver every time she embroidered it.

However, in order to protect her eyes, Yunfang only embroidered for two hours a day. Her mother would not let her continue for more than that. Before she came to Linglong Embroidery Workshop, her mother also reminded her to protect her eyes and not to embroider for too long.

But Yunfang felt that the room provided by the embroidery workshop had plenty of light, so it should not be a problem to embroider for three hours a day.

If you embroider for three hours every day, it should take you five days to finish the "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".

During the day, Yunfang discovered that the sound of bells could be heard from different embroiderers' rooms.

She went out to take a look during her break and discovered that when the embroiderers finished a piece of embroidery, someone would go to their room to take out the embroidery. This should be what Young Master Yu meant by inspection and evaluation.

Yunfang once again affirmed that the business model of Linglong Embroidery Workshop was really amazing. From the moment she selected the embroiderers, Yunfang felt that the owner of Linglong Embroidery Workshop had an extraordinary business acumen, and she admires him even more now.

This once again inspired Yunfang's desire to learn.

Linglong Embroidery Workshop provides lunch at noon, and there is a dining hall specially for the embroiderers to eat. It is also the first time that Yunfang has seen all the embroiderers in Linglong Embroidery Workshop. Yunfang took a quick look and found that there are about 30 embroiderers, seven of whom look familiar, four of whom applied for the job with her, and three of whom were the embroiderers who were assessing them at that time.

There were four large tables in the dining hall. When Yunfang didn't know where to sit, the shopkeeper Ma led the five new people to a table.

There were originally five people sitting at this table, and with the five of them, there were ten people in total, which was a little more crowded than other tables.

Among the five people originally sitting at the table, there was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old.

When she saw Yunfang, she waved to her and asked her to sit next to her.

Yunfang was stunned by the girl's enthusiasm, but still walked up to her.

The girl said enthusiastically, "I heard from Sister Ma yesterday that there will be a young girl among this batch of embroiderers, and I will no longer be the youngest embroiderer in Linglong Embroidery Workshop. It's great that I waited for you today. My name is Tian Tian, ​​what's your name?"

Yunfang had few friends since she was a child, and was overwhelmed by Tian Tian's enthusiasm, but she still responded: "My name is Yunfang."

"Yunfang, do you know that everyone is guessing what kind of little prodigy you are? How could you be valued by Young Master Yu at such a young age? Do you know that Young Master Yu is the most serious and never lets anyone use the back door?"

Yunfang gradually got used to Tian Tian's enthusiasm and waved her hand, saying, "I'm not a child prodigy. It's just that when I was in my hometown, I had a good master who taught me all his skills. Now I'm not even half as good as the master. Now that the master is gone, I have to work hard on my own."

Tian Tian said in surprise: "How powerful your master must be! My mother is now a first-class embroiderer at Linglong Embroidery Workshop. I have been learning from her since I was a child. I was only recruited last year after passing the assessment of Master Yu. Your master must be more powerful than my mother."

Yunfang didn't know how to continue making up stories, so she changed the subject and asked, "I don't know if our Linglong Embroidery Workshop will be divided into grades. How will it be divided?"

As expected, Tian Tian was diverted by Yun Fang's question and said, "It is measured according to the total value of the works you submit. At the beginning, it is all level four. More than one hundred taels are level three, five hundred taels are level two, and one thousand taels are level one. It is said that there are top-level ones above level one. Top-level embroiderers are in charge of Linglong Embroidery Workshop. They are the exclusive people of the embroidery workshop when dignitaries want the embroidery workshop to make things for them. The reward money they get for embroidering for dignitaries is more than what we can get in three years."

Except for Yunfang, the other four embroiderers were also listening to Tian Tian's words. They had never known this before. One of them, Wang Yuning's embroiderer, asked hurriedly, "What are the benefits of being promoted?"

Tian Tian saw that she was asking herself, so she didn't hide anything and said, "There are many benefits. When you advance to a higher level, your salary will be almost guaranteed, and you will get more gifts and bonuses. Look at the four tables for lunch, which are also arranged according to the level. The two tables with the most people are level four, and they only have three dishes. There is only one table for level three, but there are still many people, so they have four dishes. There are fewer people at level two, so they have five dishes. There are only four people at level one, so they have six dishes, and you can take the leftovers home. You know, the food in our embroidery workshop is really good, who wouldn't want to bring some home for their family to taste!"

When they got to this point, the dishes were served. Just as Tian Tian said, the dishes on each table were different. There were only three dishes on their table, but the portions were large and enough to fill them up.

After eating, some embroiderers chatted in groups of three or four in the yard, while others returned to their embroidery rooms to rest or continue working.

Tian Tian wanted to take Yunfang outside to play for a while. Yunfang remembered her mother's advice to combine work and rest, so she agreed.

The two of them were walking in the yard, and the female cultivators who had been curious about Yunfang before all gathered around them.

The chattering left and right said: "This girl is not very old, but her embroidery skills can pass the young master's assessment. It's really extraordinary!"

The second question is "Are you engaged? I have a 12-year-old son who is also very handsome. Would you like to consider it?"

The person who said this was looked at with contempt by everyone. It seems that your son can never find a wife. He is only ten years old and you want to introduce him to someone else?

The man smiled awkwardly: "I was just joking, Yunfang, don't take it seriously!"

Yunfang didn't want to lose face, so she smiled and said, "I know you are joking, I won't take it seriously."

Everyone asked Yunfang which street she lived on and who were her family members. Yunfang, who had never come into contact with so many women, felt dizzy after being asked so many questions. Fortunately, everyone knew that Yunfang was young and there were only so many questions they could ask.

Soon the questioning turned to Tian Tian.

"Tian Tian, ​​I heard that you are engaged. Have you set a date? When the time comes, we must all go and ask for a glass of wedding wine!"

Tian Tian was obviously more used to this kind of question than Yun Fang, but she was a little shy when she heard about the engagement. She blushed and said, "It's settled, but the specific date hasn't been decided yet. I'll definitely tell all the sisters and aunts when the date comes."

"I heard that she has been engaged to the eldest son of Constable Xu. I have seen that young man before. He and our Tian Tian are really a perfect match!"

Tian Tian couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly pulled Yunfang and said, "Yunfang is young, she needs to rest for a while at noon, I will accompany her back to her embroidery room."

After saying that, she dragged Yunfang and ran away. When they ran to the embroidery room, they both laughed. Tian Tian blushed and said, "Okay, stop laughing at me. Have a good rest. I'm going back to my embroidery room.
