Chapter 242 Then I will appoint you as the chief eunuch?
Mrs. Bai looked at the socks in Chou Chou's hands and couldn't help laughing. "Your hands are really clever, little girl. Come and see what he has embroidered."
Zhao Qiaoniang was speechless when she saw the socks he embroidered. Such a young child actually liked embroidery, and he embroidered it really well.
Ancient socks usually had unique styles, were generally made of cloth, and reached below the knees.
The sock opening is often decorated with a narrow edge, and more delicate embroidery will have simple patterns embroidered on the sock tube, such as circular patterns, ruyi patterns, etc.
The needlework is delicate and the silk threads are tightly wound, which is both practical and beautiful.
Chou Chou embroidered a cute little fat cat with a round body. The cat was embroidered with snow-white silk thread, and the lively eyes were embroidered with black thin thread. They were like two crystal black gems, looking at the world curiously.
Lin Wanwan looked at Chou Chou's embroidery and couldn't help but admire in her heart that Chou Chou was so amazing.
Mrs. Bai looked at Chouchou and said, "You go out first. I'll change Wanwan's socks. Do you like them?"
Lin Wanwan was naturally happy. Girls in ancient times were quite traditional and were not allowed to show their feet to other men.
After changing, Mrs. Bai smiled:
"This child is very thoughtful. You might say she's a little too talented. Not only is she good at embroidery, she's also talented in both literature and martial arts. She's even learning cooking from me recently.
How can a boy be interested in these things?"
Zhao Qiaoniang smiled and said:
"Maybe Wanwan will be able to do it in the future. Look at how smart she is. Aren't these things very simple?
Women still need to learn more things, such as cooking, embroidery, calligraphy and painting. Of course, I think they should also learn to read."
Lin Wanwan looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and Madam Bai. Madam Bai nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Learn some more martial arts so that if you are bullied, you can fight back."
Lin Wanwan had a headache, everything else was fine, but she was really not good at cooking and embroidery.
She likes to eat, but doesn’t like to cook it herself!
What's so fun about embroidery? She prefers to poke people with a silver needle.
In her previous life, she majored in the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.
Students in this major will learn knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, such as basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, traditional Chinese medicine, and prescriptions.
Students will also learn Western medicine knowledge, such as basic Western medicine courses such as human anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, as well as related knowledge such as Western medicine clinical diagnosis, internal medicine, surgery, etc.
Compared with Western medicine, she prefers traditional Chinese medicine, and later she also went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.
As for music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was not good at any of them, but she learned to write very well. From childhood to adulthood, her best writing skill was calligraphy, and she copied many calligraphy works.
Because writing doesn't cost much money, while other interest classes cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, she didn't have much ability in her previous life.
In this life, she wants to try to learn something she likes, such as the guqin, martial arts, painting, whatever interests her.
She slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, someone came to the door and asked, "Have you prepared the people? Where's Menggu?"
Menggu is the madam. Huangmao sighed and said:
"Menggu is not feeling well today, and she has asked me to make the decisions on everything.
I will contact you later."
There were more than 30 people in the group. The man sneered and asked, "Is Menggu's token here?"
Huang Mao quickly took out the token and said, "I'm her nephew. She loves me the most. She's... lying comfortably in the house now!"
"Just lie down if you say so! I have to take a look at it anyway."
Huang Mao didn't expect this person to be so difficult to deal with. He sighed and said, "He had a high fever yesterday. I'm afraid he's still asleep now. I'll take you there now. Please keep your voices down."
Huangmao led them into the house and saw that Menggu was indeed lying there, with two maids kneeling beside her to serve her.
The two maids usually took care of Meng Gu personally. They looked at each other and said, "Okay, then we'll follow the old rules. This year is a disaster year, so these people won't be able to be sold at a high price."
"It's okay, it's okay, you can give it to me as you wish." Huangmao said softly.
There are more than 2100 people in this village. In fact, many people are not worth much in the disaster year. But when more than 2000 people were pulled out in a mighty force, the person in charge was dumbfounded.
"How many people have you guys...?"
Huang Mao sighed and said:
“These people came to your door on their own, so if you think they’re suitable, just buy them.
But to prevent them from talking nonsense, everyone was silenced."
“That doesn’t really matter, as long as it works, but the price won’t be high!
"These young ones can be given one tael of silver, but the others are worthless. How about I give you three hundred taels of silver in total?" the traffickers said.
"Okay, three hundred taels is three hundred taels."
The manager took out some silver and Huangmao took it and watched them walk away.
There are still hundreds of children here, and the children of human traffickers are likely to be human traffickers themselves. In this disaster year, who can care about whose life and death?
He took the silver and came to Master Bai's room. Master Bai looked at Huang Mao and said:
“Well done, let’s get some more well water and see what else we can use in these houses.
Let them search it, and once they have finished, we will leave."
It's not a good place to stay for long. Li Dongyang looked at the bag full of silver and said, "Hey! I've earned more in just a few moments than I did in a year as an official."
Master Bai sighed and said, "It's hard to be an official in troubled times!"
Li Dongyang looked at him and said, "It will get better soon. I wonder how the old emperor is doing now?"
"Not much better. He's gotten older these years..."
"Ahem... let's not talk about that. He is the true dragon emperor. We can't control what he wants to do. Let's find a way to get to Bianjing first.
If that evil concubine's son becomes emperor, let's run away quickly!
I've also been thinking recently, is it possible for us to return to Bianjing empty-handed?"
Master Bai looked at him and said:
"That makes sense. Since we are going to fight back, we naturally need to make some preparations.
It's a disaster year now, and many people are displaced. We'll take in more people when the time comes."
Li Dongyang looked at him and said, "Oh! I advise you to rebel. Then I will follow you and you will be the emperor..."
"Then I'll appoint you as the Grand Chamberlain?"
"Oh my! Old dog, I wanted to help you become the emperor, but you actually wanted me to be a eunuch. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Your conscience is so black!"
Master Bai sighed and said, "I have no interest in being the emperor, and I have no legitimate reason to be so..."
"That's true..."
Lin Fugui suddenly walked in and fell to his knees with a thud, startling Master Bai. "Fugui, what are you trying to do by kneeling down so suddenly?"
Lin Fugui looked at Master Bai and tears started streaming down his face. "Originally, I wanted to keep this to myself, but now I just can't stand it anymore."
