    This is Wen Wan's own strategy.  Ever since she knew that this was Anlehou Feng, she didn't want to act too smart.  A child who is not smart but is diligent can probably put people at ease a lot.  Because most people don't like people who are smarter than themselves.  Especially these women who are huddled in the house and are just the head of the family and the shortcomings of the family every day.  I don¡¯t even like people who are too smart.

    "Ms. He family, this peach blossom is a good one. Otherwise, you take her in. Don't let Mrs. Qiao take in this child. This child is already pitiful. If this happens again, it will be even more pitiful."  An embroiderer looked at Wen Wan cleaning the yard again and said softly.

    "I think so too. This child seems to be a well-behaved and obedient child. But this matter requires the consent of the manager. It's useless for me to think about it. The manager is a relative of Qiao Xiu Niang, and Qiao Xiu Niang is the most popular embroiderer in the embroidery room.  I must satisfy her first before it's my turn." Mrs. He shook her head.  The daughter-in-law looked at Wen Wan with sympathy.

    Ten days later, Wen Wan was taken in by Rusty Mother.  After the news spread, those little girls who started to dislike her were all gloating over her misfortune.

    It is said to be an embroidery room, but it is actually a courtyard with two entrances.  The first half of the house was used to make clothes for the servants; the second half of the house was used to store fabrics, most of which were used to make clothes for the masters of the mansion.  In the two innermost rooms, there are two most outstanding embroiderers in the mansion, who specialize in making clothes for your master and his wife.  One's surname is He, and the other's surname is Qiao, whom Wen Wan has met before.  Rumors have spread that the two of them are going to take on an apprentice, and several apprentices are working hard to get it.  Several maids looked down upon Wen Wan's sudden penetration.

    After talking to everyone, someone told Wen Wan to do something.  It¡¯s nothing more than cleaning, organizing and many other chores.  Those pending candidates all hate Wen Wan.  He often causes trouble for her.  Of course, they are all seven or eight-year-old girls, and their thoughts are not that vicious.  Just embarrass Wen Wan.  Wen Wan always lowered her head and accepted the scolding.

    Within a few days, everyone in the embroidery room said that the new Taohua was a pitiful and cowardly child.  After being scolded for a few words, he would shrink back and tremble with fear.

    Wenwan didn¡¯t care what others said.  She thought that as long as she did the things at hand well, those people would go to great lengths to make things difficult for her.

    Think this way and act this way.  I get up early every day and am always the first to arrive at the embroidery room.  By the time the embroidery girls arrived, Wen Wan had already cleaned the yard and tidied the embroidery room.  She does whatever the embroiderers ask her to do.  He is gentle and honest, well-behaved and obedient, and he is also mute.  Most people still felt pity and sympathy for this helpless child.  .

    ¡°Before, Wenwan was assigned to the first person to enter the house, but within two days, she was moved to the second yard.  The reason is that Wenwan is very diligent.

    Of course, the bad thing is that Wenwan always lowers her head and is very timid. If someone says something loudly, she will be frightened and tremble. The embroidered ladies often tease her.

    ?????????????????? Those people liked to tease her, but they didn't make it difficult.  Just for fun.  Within a few days, everyone knew that this was a well-behaved child.

    This is Wen Wan¡¯s own strategy.  Ever since she knew that this was Anlehou Feng, she didn't want to act too smart.  She wants everyone to know that she is a child who is not smart, even a little stupid, but very hard-working.  This will also put people at ease a lot.  Because most people don't like people who are smarter than themselves.  Especially these women who are huddled in the house and are just the head of the family and the shortcomings of the family every day.  I don¡¯t even like people who are too smart.

    "Ms. He family, this peach blossom is a good one. Otherwise, you take her in. Don't let Mrs. Qiao take in this child. This child is already pitiful. If this happens again, it won't be even more pitiful.  "An embroiderer said softly as she watched Wen Wan cleaning the yard again.

    "I think so too. This child seems to be a well-behaved and obedient child. But this matter requires the consent of the manager, and it's useless for me to think about it. The manager is a relative of Qiao Xiu Niang, and Qiao Xiu Niang is the most popular embroiderer in the embroidery room.  I must satisfy her first before it's my turn." Mrs. He shook her head.  The daughter-in-law looked at Wen Wan with sympathy.

    Ten days later, Wen Wan was accepted by Qiao Xiu Niang.  After the news spread, those little girls who started to dislike her were all gloating over her misfortune.

    As soon as Wen Wan found out it was Qiao Xiu Niang, she regretted what she had done so diligently.  During these ten days, Wen Wan probably got to know the market situation of the embroidery house.  The two most powerful embroidery ladies in the embroidery room are Qiao Xiu Niang and He Xiu Niang.  That Mrs. Qiao Xiu was good at embroidery, but her reputation was very poor, and she was very mean and greedy.  She basically doesn't get along with the people in the embroidery room, but she is related to the mother who is in charge of the embroidery room, so no one can do anything to her.

    But Wen Wan is still confused. When choosing an apprentice, you should not choose qualified ones, so why would you choose yourself?  Although Qiao XiuIt doesn't look very good, but the craftsmanship is real.

    Later, after a series of practices, Wen Wan realized that all apprentices are lies.  What they are looking for is a handyman to help with the work, just like the assistants around modern celebrities, who run errands, serve tea and water.  It sounds like she is an apprentice, but in reality she is just a rough servant.  Moreover, it is impossible for someone like Qiao Xiu Niang to truly pass on her skills to others.  That was to be passed on to her own daughter.

    Wen Wan mainly helps prepare the silk thread, thread the needle and thread, cut the fabric, and start making a dozen.

    "I have never seen someone as stupid as you, who can't even hold a few needles and threads." Qiao Xiu Niang watched Wen Wan learn to thread the needle and thread, and kept poking her own hands, scolding her unhappily.

    "Mrs. Qiao, your children are always like this when they first learn. Just teach them patiently." Then Mrs. He looked at it, quite unbearably.  A word of advice.

    "I'm teaching the maids under me, why do you need to interrupt me?" Qiao Xiu Niang was particularly angry.  But Mrs. He's wife is the most skilled in the sewing room. Although she is a relative of the lady in charge, she can't do anything to Mrs. He's family.

    Seeing Wen Wan listening carefully on the side, she felt very angry and pinched her.  Soon, my fair arms turned a big purple.  Wen Wan lowered her head and endured it.  Hateful, this woman is not even the slightest bit excessive.  Just endure it, I don¡¯t know if it will last until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

    "Pa" A slap came over, Wen Wan's eyes were filled with gold flowers.

    "You are blind. I asked you to get silver thread. Why did you bring me gold thread? If I had known you were such a stupid and stupid maid, you really shouldn't have wanted it." Qiao Xiu Niang slapped her down, and she was still there  That scolding.

    Wen Wan lowered her head, feeling very angry.  Obviously he asked for a gold thread, but now he said he asked for a silver thread, which is crazy.  I had never been slapped or abused in my previous life, but now it was all over.

    But Wen Wan knew very well that she had to endure it for now.  That Qiao Xiu Niang thought that she had been bought in. Here she was a helpless and pitiful child, and no one would stand up for her.  Although those embroiderers sympathized with me, they would not stand up for a little maid like me.  If you resist, what awaits you will only be an even worse situation, or a dead end.

    Therefore, although Wen Wan was slapped, her face was burning, and she shivered several times, she still lowered her head respectfully.  No resentment, just head down.  Seeing Wen Wan standing there honestly, Qiao Xiu Niang cursed a few times and then left.

    After Wen Wan was beaten, she returned to the dormitory.  There is no medicine, and I don¡¯t have any money to buy medicine.  I had to go get boiling water, use a hot and wet towel, and apply it on my face.  I hope it doesn't get swollen tomorrow.  Well, it¡¯s not easy to live, and life like this is too difficult.  I have never received a finger from anyone in my previous life.

    "Here you go." Lian Zi came in and couldn't bear to see Wen Wan like this.  I was given an ointment and went out.  Wen Wan looked at her gratefully and kept this good thing in her heart.

    "Go and get your monthly payment. Peach Blossom, go and get your monthly payment." The wife of the Qiao family called Wen Wan and took Wen Wan to the housekeeper.  Because Wen Wan had only been here for more than half a month, she only received 150 yuan. Wen Wan was a little surprised.  Later, I heard those people talking, and based on their words, Wen Wan made a guess. According to Wen Wan's own understanding, one tael of silver is equivalent to five hundred big coins, and one big coin can buy two buns.  Wen Wan thought to herself that her monthly salary was 300 yuan, so her life was pretty good.  I just didn¡¯t expect that it provides food, accommodation, and monthly money, which is pretty good.

    On this day, Qiao Xiu Niang scolded her even more if she didn't hit her.  On weekdays, I look for it twice at most. Today, I looked for it four or five times.  Wen Wan thought about those wives saying that Qiao Xiu Niang was greedy and mean. She probably wanted her one hundred and fifty money.  When it was time for lunch, Wen Wan obediently gave her one hundred and twenty big coins and kept thirty big coins for herself.

    "Okay, then I'll keep it for you." Qiao Xiu Niang was very happy and accepted the money, but she still said it very tactfully.

    At night, when several maids were sleeping, they didn¡¯t even fall asleep.  Coral said happily, "Amber, I received five hundred dollars today. I want the concierge to buy me some rouge. What about you? I'll ask them to buy it together."

    "No, I haven't used up the rouge and gouache yet." Amber said coldly and proudly.

    "Oh, what about you, Lianzi?" He turned around and asked Lianzi for his opinion, and Lianzi shook his head.  Coral muttered, stingy woman.

    "Sister Lianzi, I heard that you are engaged. Are you saving such a big sum of money as a dowry?" Amber asked with great interest.  His eyes were sneer.  Lianzi didn't say a word, lowered his head and didn't speak.

    "It's boring." Don't mention it.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???I heard Coral muttering that Amber would definitely become an aunt in the future.  Because amber is the best color.  This will help you to curry favor and get some help in the future.

    Wen Wan has stayed here for more than half a month and knows that her aunt is my little wife.  The little wives here are no better than modern little wives, let alone the arrogance of modern little wives.  If the little wife here gets out of line, the mistress can kill you at any time.  Not much better than the fate of a slave.  According to the information I obtained, the amber was also bought and had no foundation at all in the mansion.  Such people are the best to handle.  She still doesn't know what fate awaits her.  Why do you care so little about your aunt?

    "Huh, why are you pulling? I haven't been noticed by you yet! What kind of virtue." Coral spat on the ground at Amber's back, then pulled Lianzi and knelt there.

    Wen Wanze was there and folded the quilt for them honestly.  Anyway, a pattern has been formed. When Wen Wan comes, Coral and Amber's quilts and clothes are all wrapped up in Wen Wan.  Lianzi is okay, he can do his own thing.  Wen Wan has no objection to this.  Not even a hint of dissatisfaction was expressed.

    Lian Zi is very polite towards Wen Wan.  Amber disdains gentleness.  Only Coral, Coral always has a sense of superiority for no reason in front of Wen Wan.  So his attitude towards Wenwan is extremely bad.  Treating Wen Wan like a little maid beside her, she often instructs Wen Wan to do this or that.  Wen Wan never resisted

    "You are a natural slave, and she deserves to live with us. It's true. I told Sister Juan several times to get rid of this girl. I even told my mother in charge, but she always said it would be faster. After all,  When will we get rid of this slave Yongzi?" Coral often despised Wen Wan and scolded Wen Wan with disdain.

    She always felt that Wen Wan lowered her status by living with her.

    After listening to Wen Wan, she always lowered her head honestly and did what she had to do.  Others couldn't see the sarcasm in her eyes.  I am a slave myself, yet you still call me a slave.  How dare you say that I am a slave? This girl was born with wealth and wealth, but she was bullied by dogs.  If you knew that my grandpa was the emperor, I guess this sentence could kill you.  Bear with it, who allowed yourself to fall to this point now!

    With Wen Wan's filial piety this time, Qiao Xiu Niang was kind to Wen Wan. Although she scolded Wen Wan later, she didn't hit her at all.

    Wen Wan looked at the embroidery completed by Qiao Xiu Niang that day, and saw the different patterns on the front and back. The front showed entwined lotus branches, and the back showed a baby playing in the water. There was not even a needle or thread on either side.  Wen Wan's almond-shaped eyes widened, she held them up with both hands and looked at them carefully.  Such exquisite embroidery, such a flawless thing, made Wen Wan's eyes light up.  This is a technology that has become extinct in modern times.  If she could bring technology back to modern times, she would definitely become the richest businessman in the world just by selling this embroidery.

    "Look at you, you are so stupid." Qiao Xiu Niang looked at Wen Wan's obsessed look, and then looked at herself with admiration.  I felt particularly proud, and rarely smiled at Wen Wan.  Wen Wan nodded as if he was listening.

    Not only is this screen beautiful, even the small Kang screen is beautifully embroidered.  Wenwan has seen a lot, but she still admires her every time.

    Wenwan is very interested in the beautiful patterns they make.  I learned very hard and cut the fabric along the pink line as instructed. I looked at it and cut it carefully for a while. It turned out that the cut was very good and there was no deviation.  But when it was her turn to sew, her fingers were pricked with blood, but she couldn't get a few good stitches.  Always scolded by Qiao Xiu Niang.

    Gradually, Wen Wan knew.  Qiao Xiu Niang is good at Beijing embroidery, and He Xiu Niang is good at Su embroidery.  Beijing embroidery is also known as palace embroidery.

    "Beijing embroidery" is famous for its luxurious materials. It generally uses the best silk and satin as the fabric. In addition to the wool thread made of silk, the embroidery thread is also made of gold and silver hammered foil, twisted into gold and silver thread, and is widely used in clothing embroidery.  Good quality.  The technique is to first use gold and silver threads to form a pattern, and then use colored threads to show and fix it on the textile plane. This kind of dragon, phoenix and other patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads is also called "panjin" and is unique among Chinese embroidery.

    This is why Wen Wan always looks at the embroidery room where the threads are either gold or silver.  Most of the embroidery made by Qiao Xiu Niang was sent to the palace.  Otherwise, they are all gifts from marquis or above.  Although Qiao Xiu Niang is not a very good person, her embroidery skills must be praised.  So she enjoyed herself very much in the mansion.

    Wen Wan wants to learn, but Qiao Xiu Niang doesn¡¯t teach at all.  Just let her do odd jobs.  Wenwan thought, maybe it was because of the short time.
