Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

"Dad, please go out first. Mom and I can stay here!"

Yuan Wei said in a sweet voice with a smile on her face, her bright eyes sparkling and charming.

She raised her head slightly, looked at the Second Elder, and continued:

"Didn't you just sell the silk cord? You don't understand the rest of this, so just let me and mother handle it."

After hearing what his daughter said, Yuan Lao Er couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed Yuan Wei's head vigorously, while pretending to be angry and muttering:

"Oh, little girl, you're not that old, but you've already learned to order your father around."

Having said that, he still turned around and slowly walked towards the door.

However, before leaving, he glanced back into the house and muttered softly, "Little girl, you're so old-fashioned. You understand just as well as I do. Haven't you also never learned embroidery?"

The second elder had been here several times before and knew that the owner here was a good person.

And since I was just guarding outside, I thought nothing would go wrong, so I left with peace of mind.

After the figure of the second elder completely disappeared outside the door, Gu Xiu Niang, who had been nervous, instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Wei asked the ancient embroiderer directly, "Sister, my mother is not only good at weaving, but she is also proficient in embroidery. I want to ask, do you accept embroidery?"

It was not until this time that Gu Xiuniang finally had the leisure to carefully look at Yuan Wei in front of her.

It would not matter if she did not look at it, but once she did, the ancient embroiderer was shocked.

You know, she has seen a lot of people in the world, but a girl with an outstanding appearance like Yuan Wei is extremely rare in this rural area.

Although Yuan Wei had not yet fully grown up at this time, just from her delicate facial features and lively eyes, Gu Xiu Niang could already conclude that this girl would be a stunning beauty in the future.

Gu Xiu Niang's gaze slowly turned to Wang Xiaocao who was standing quietly on the side.

Wang Xiaocao kept his head down, his thick bangs almost covering his eyes, and his skin was as dull and sallow as old yellow paper.

However, the ancient embroiderer, who had seen countless people, knew very well in her heart that the woman in front of her, who looked plain-looking, actually possessed astonishing beauty.

I think the little girl has perfectly inherited her mother's beauty.

Gu Xiu Niang looked the two of them up and down calmly, but it was only a matter of a moment.

She raised her hand and gently covered her mouth, giggling and responding to Yuan Wei:

"Little girl, you are really good at talking. Your little mouth is as sweet as honey. Just call me aunt. At my age, how can I be called your sister?"

"We do buy embroidery here, but now we only buy high-quality ones, so you'll have to see how good your mother's craftsmanship is!"

After hearing this, Yuan Wei immediately turned her head and looked at Wang Xiaocao beside her.

Yuan Wei is still quite confident in Wang Xiaocao's embroidery skills.

The clothes she was wearing at the moment were all embroidered with dark patterns carefully made by Wang Xiaocao.

In Yuan Wei's discerning eyes, Wang Xiaocao's embroidery skills are not inferior to those of the royal embroiderers in the palace.

Wang Xiaocao seemed to understand the meaning of Yuan Wei's eyes, and nodded slightly towards Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei got Wang Xiaocao's permission and immediately turned her head back to face Gu Xiu Niang. She smiled and said, "How can you be an aunt when you are so young and beautiful? You must be a sister."

Yuan Wei complimented him and then said, "Sister, please help us exchange all the money we earned from selling the silk cords for needlework and fabric."

"My mother can embroider. When she's done, she'll bring it to you for your review."

"Okay, if the finished product is good, the store will definitely buy it." The ancient embroiderer giggled.

"Sister, what kind of embroidery do you accept? Can you tell us?"

Yuan Wei asked expectantly.

Gu Xiu Niang smiled and nodded, and replied softly, "Of course."

As she spoke, her gaze slowly swept over Wang Xiaocao who was standing beside her, and a trace of barely perceptible regret suddenly flashed in the depths of her eyes.

What a beautiful person! It's a pity that she is mute.

What's more, she had such a miserable life that she married an ordinary farmer.

On weekdays, she doesn't even dare to show her original beauty.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiuniang was filled with emotion again.

Despite feeling sympathetic, Lady Gu remained calm on the surface and began to slowly and carefully explain to Wang Xiaocao and Yuan Wei the requirements and purchasing standards for various types of embroidery.

Time passed by unknowingly. When the introduction was coming to an end and they were about to part, Gu Xiu Niang couldn't suppress the urge to remind Wang Xiaocao and Yuan Wei.

She hesitated for a moment, then said earnestly:

"Little girl, with your outstanding looks, it's ultimately... not safe in today's world. In my opinion, you might as well learn from your mother and do some disguising."

When Wang Xiaocao heard this, his body shook violently and his face was full of shock.

She never expected that her carefully disguised appearance could be seen through by the ancient embroiderer in front of her.

However, when she met the kind and concerned eyes of the ancient embroiderer, most of the panic in her heart immediately dissipated.

After calming down a little, Wang Xiaocao gave Gu Xiuniang a grateful smile, indicating that she understood her good intentions.

Wang Xiaocao's gaze inadvertently fell on Yuan Wei beside him.

I don’t know when, the once tender and petite girl has grown into a graceful and charming young lady.

Looking at my daughter's increasingly pretty face.

Wang Xiaocao suddenly realized that her daughter had grown up without her noticing.

If such an outstanding appearance is often exposed to the outside, it will probably bring unnecessary trouble and disaster sooner or later.

At least before Feng Ge'er passes the imperial examination and obtains fame, it is best not to expose Wei'er's appearance to outsiders easily.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaocao walked out of the embroidery workshop slowly with a worried look on her face.

Seeing her like this, the second elder who had been waiting at the door secretly guessed that the embroidery business might not be going well.

He quickly stepped forward and said soothingly, "Don't worry. If this embroidery shop doesn't accept our work, we can just ask somewhere else, or make more brocade to sell."

"Besides, if I go out and find a few odd jobs, I can also save a lot of money."

Wang Xiaocao shook her head gently, raised her hand and gestured to him a few times, indicating that he was not worried about this and that they could talk about it when they got home.

Yuan Wei finally had the opportunity to come to the county town, so naturally she didn't want to go home in such a hurry.

She said to Yuan Lao Er and Wang Xiaocao with anticipation, "Dad, Mom, how about we just walk around here?"

After hearing his daughter's suggestion, Wang Xiaocao, who had originally had no intention of strolling around because he had something on his mind, wanted to refuse it outright.

But when she saw Yuan Wei's eyes full of excitement and desire, she couldn't bear to refuse the child.

Finally, she nodded reluctantly.
