Chapter 229 Spend What You Need to Spend
It turns out that the pattern embroidered on the back is completely different. Is this double-sided embroidery?
If the double-sided embroidery was embroidered with the same pattern, it would not be amazing. What surprised Shangguan Yue was that the double-sided embroidery was embroidered with completely different patterns.
This is a very advanced embroidery method. In modern computer embroidery, double-sided embroidery is not difficult, but it is also very difficult to create completely different patterns.
Having two different patterns in the same place but with different sides is very challenging and requires a lot of brain cells to design.
There are many of them in Li Ruomei's basket, all with different patterns, some of which should be used to make fans.
There are also some large pieces that I don’t know what they are used for, maybe they are screens.
"Aunt, did you embroider all these? You are so amazing!"
Shangguan Yue exclaimed, this is something that can be applied for as a world heritage in modern times!
"I embroider these to kill time when I have nothing to do. If I embroider two sides of a handkerchief, it won't make much more money, and it takes too much time. So I embroider one side, which sells better and doesn't take much time."
Li Ruomei lowered her head with a slightly red face.
She is really a shy girl. The more I look at her, the more she looks like Lin Daiyu. I like her so much. She is a treasure Lin Daiyu. It will be a win-win if I take her back to Yuecheng.
She would let Li Ruomei realize her due value, take the quality of her Mingyue Buyi Shop's clothes to a higher level, and let Li Ruomei know that she was already a very useful person.
I just don't know what Li Qingzhu is capable of. I have to think of a job for him when he goes to the capital! It's impossible for him to go hunting in the mountains again!
"Aunt, you are so amazing, what can uncle do? What is so amazing about him?"
"When he was young, my brother also loved studying and his grades were pretty good, but later on... because of my mother's situation, my brother was no longer willing to go to school.
Because once he arrived at the academy, others laughed at him, teased him, and bullied him, but he didn't dare tell his father for fear of making his father even more angry.
His temperament gradually became weird and violent. He always fought and skipped classes in the academy. His father couldn't control him at that time. Later, my brother refused to go to school no matter what.
My father couldn't do anything about him because something happened at home at that time, and my mother... After that, my father sold his things to pay off his debts, and then resigned from his official position and lived in seclusion here.
My elder brother loves fighting the most and he is very good at it. He always beats other children until they cry and get hurt. People come to our house to complain every day, which is why my father no longer cares about my brother's schooling.
My brother is also a good hunter and he always brings back a lot of prey. Look, these are all made from the fur of the prey my brother hunted. Xiaoyue, do you like them? If you like, I’ll give them all to you.”
"Ka! No need, you can keep it or make it for your three little nephews to play with later."
Shangguan Yue was not interested in these childish toys. What she was interested in was Li Qingzhu. It turned out that Li Qingzhu was a fighting king and a good hunter?
When she returned to the capital, she knew where to put him. A man in his twenties, in modern times, would be like a young man who had just graduated from college, according to the theory that men remain young until they die.
Li Qingzhu must be interested in joining the army, otherwise he wouldn't keep asking about Shangguan Yan's great achievements. OK, let Li Qingzhu go back to Shangguan Yan's camp.
Let Li Qingzhu join the army and hone his skills. Whether he can make a name for himself in the future depends on his performance.
Shangguan Yue stayed at her grandfather's house for three days. When she left three days later, she repeatedly told her grandfather to hire a horse carriage and not to save money. Li Bing was reluctant to let her go with tears in his eyes.
"Xiao Yue, why don't you go with grandpa? We can take care of him together, since you are still young!"
Li Bing was not very reassured either.
"Don't worry! Grandpa, uncle, aunt, I have something else to do. You go back first. Eat what you need to eat, spend what you need to spend, and spend what you need to spend on the way. Those marked shops are our stores.
You don't have to help me save money. I have something important to do so I'm leaving first. You guys should take care of the things at home. Don't bring things that are difficult to carry. We don't need them, so you don't have to send them. Go back!"
Shangguan Yue had a good impression of her grandpa's family. If she didn't have the magic weapon to transform, she would be willing to travel back to the capital city with a sightseeing trip.
But now she could obviously go back home and lie down in a few hours, so how could she possibly spend more than a month traveling by boat, climbing mountains and wading through water to get back?
If I wasn't afraid of being exposed and frightened, I would have thrown their stuff into the space long ago. There would be no need to clean them up and let them all turn into birds and fly back together.
I just don't know if a flock of birds flying like this would be too eye-catching and be shot down by hunters. That would be too scary. I don't even dare to think about it. Forget it.
After Shangguan Yue left, Li Bing gave away all the things that could not be taken away from home to the villagers, intending to sell the house to someone else or give it to a poor family in the village, but Li Qingzhu disagreed.
Li Qingzhu was also unwilling to sell the house as he still had some concerns in his heart. Li Bing had no choice but to write a certificate and hand it to the village chief, stating that the house would be handed over to the village chief for management.
The village chief can rent the house to others and use the rent collected to repair the house. If they do not come back after ten years, the house will be handed over to the village chief.
The village chief is a very good person. When Li Bing and his friends first settled here, the village chief gave them a lot of help, so Li Qingzhu felt relieved to leave the management of the property to the village chief.
The village chief did not expect that the only teacher in the village would also leave. Although he was very reluctant to let him go, it was a good thing that he was going to live with his relatives and reunite with them, but the children in the village could only go to other villages to go to school.
Li Bing's family of four brought some clothes, thin quilts, and some of the four treasures of the study that they were used to. Li Qingzhu brought his bow and arrow, machete, etc.
Li Ruomei had a room full of knickknacks, and her embroidery tools and semi-finished products filled a large box. There were many more she wanted to take away, but the ox cart couldn't hold them all.
Doudou Xiao Li had the least stuff, so he just took a puppy toy that his grandfather had carved for him. He didn't know whether the other things were important or not.
They had to take the village chief's ox cart to the town thirty miles away, from where they could hire a horse carriage.
The coachmen in the town heard that the journey would be thousands of miles. Although the fare was reasonable, it was just too far. The drivers had never been to such a far place, so they dared not accept the order.
It would be fine for Li Bing and his companions unless they hired a car to go to another city hundreds of miles away, but Li Qingzhu thought that was too troublesome. They would have to hire a car every time they went to a city, which was too much trouble. But if they didn't hire a car, they would have to walk.
He could walk, but his father was old, his son was young, and his sister was frail, so walking was impossible, especially with so much luggage.
A few people calculated that the cost of hiring a horse-drawn carriage in each city would be enough to buy an ox cart.
But oxcarts are too slow. It takes more than a month for a horse-drawn carriage to reach the capital, and an oxcart would take half the time. It would be better to find a carriage shop and buy an ordinary horse-drawn carriage to hit the road.
It can shelter from wind and rain and provide a place to rest, which a oxcart does not have, so it is worth having it even if it is a little more expensive.
This is what Xiaoyue said, spend what you should spend, buy what you should buy, and use what you should use.
