Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

I do not know from which day, Xiaoxiu Zhuang's business suddenly improved.

How good is it, even if there are so many strange regulations in Xiaoxiu Zhuang, the dignitaries are still flocking to it.

In the beginning, the big housekeeper of the noble family in the capital came to the door in person.

No matter what strange request Xiaoxiu Zhuang made, those butlers who were high above the ground on weekdays, even if the prefect would be polite when they met, showed great humility when they arrived at Xiaoxiu Zhuang.

The level of eloquence made the prefect once suspect that he had been away from Beijing for too long, and the aristocratic families in the capital with eyes on the top of their heads suddenly changed their minds collectively.

Later, not only the capital, but also from the south and the north, wealthy businessmen, dignitaries, and dignitaries came to Xiaoxiu Village one after another. It seems that no one has one or two pieces of embroidery produced by a small embroidery factory, so they can't lift their heads in the circle.

As if overnight, the name of Xiaoxiu Village spread all over the country.

In the capital, embroidery has become popular under the esteem of the most favored and luxurious five princesses.

Whether it is clothes, shoes and socks, or forehead handkerchiefs, they must be embroidered with a uniform style and color. Even the jewelry on the wrist and the pendant on the neck can find a way to combine with the embroidery.

It is rumored that the majesty and the empress in the palace also loved the embroidery presented by the fifth princess and greatly appreciated it.

What's better on the top must be better on the bottom.

So this embroidery wind blew all the way from the capital to the Fucheng where Shi Yan was located.

Every day people come and go in Xiaoxiuzhuang, but the shopkeeper still looks like that, whether you are a lazy person who wants to grab a snack, or a high-level door that needs to customize embroidery products in Xiaoxiuzhuang for various reasons. Large households and shopkeepers are treated equally, neither humble nor arrogant, not flattering, not flattering.

Even so, those who took advantage of the small embroidery village in the past still disappeared from the small embroidery village.

It's not what others did to them, but they themselves saw the domineering guests who came in and out of the Xiaoxiu Village, enjoying the same treatment as themselves in the Xiaoxiu Village.

Looking at the generous hand of the other party, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are like a few copper plates, and without blinking his eyes, he stretched out his hands and begged Xiaoxiu Zhuang to accept it.

I still can't get what I want right away. I heard that the order has been placed in two years.

Look at yourself with nothing.

These people naturally understand that the two sides are not the same kind of people, and gradually they dare not go there again. Occasionally, they are really greedy for the dim sum of Xiaoxiu Zhuang, and they go in and try it. .

Slowly, everyone understood Xiaoxiuzhuang's attitude.

So far, the Du family is no longer worried that the Xiaoxiu Village will fail, and the family returns to Chenjia Village to farm.

To tell the truth, I finally came out and went back in a daze, which is shameless.

Du Shiyou asked Shiyan curiously: "Amy, I heard that the orders for Xiaoxiu Zhuang have been placed in three years. Why don't you ask a few embroiderers to help you with the work?"

The business of Xiaoxiu Village is good, and everyone in Fucheng knows it. Everyone is guessing when Xiaoxiu Village will expand in size. Many embroidered women in Fucheng are eager to go to Xiaoxiu Village to work. The first time to be recognized by the owner.

But unfortunately, Shi Yan has no such plans for the time being.

But I didn't want to tell the real reason, so I said, "I have chosen those embroidered girls from thousands of years. Whether it's personal style or taste, they are very in line with the positioning of Xiaoxiu Village. You should be that kind of embroidery girl. Is it easy to find?

Besides, is this enough for our family to eat and drink without worry? I don't have the ambition to do business all over the world, and neither do my parents. If you don't take this road in the future, why bother? "

Father Du stroked his beard and said, "It's good to be relaxed like this now. People need to learn to be content, and have self-knowledge, know how much they can do and how big a bowl they can carry. If you have knowledge, you are not as good as Yan. far away."

Du Shiyou obediently admits his mistake.

Father Du talked about another matter: "Dad and an old friend who recently returned from the capital inquired about it, and they said that someone presented a pair of embroidery of the map of Jiangshan Wanli on His Majesty's Longevity Festival.

His Majesty, Longyan Dayue, praised the beauty of the embroidery on the spot, and asked him to store it in the warehouse for careful preservation. Later, I heard that the fifth princess also liked the embroidery. I learned the source of the embroidery from the purchaser. After searching all the way, I found the small embroidery village.

In a word, in the final analysis, it is still our family, A Yan, who has good luck, catches up with good times, meets noble people, and takes advantage of the right time, place, and people, so that the small embroidery village is today.

There are no risks and unknown activities, so you can rest assured. "

Father Du and Du Shiyou have always been worried that this sudden wealth is mixed with unknown dangers, and they feel uneasy. Now that they know the truth, they are relieved.

On the other hand, knowing Yan and Mother Du, there was basically no change in their faces.

So after the relaxation, the father and son suddenly realized that with the efforts of Zhi Yan, their father and son were taken away again.

The net worth of the two of them has improved qualitatively from being almost in debt some time ago to being a serious family in the city.

It can be said to be a model of lying down and being taken away.

At this time, outside the Ganquan Palace in the capital, the five princesses were dressed in elegant and dignified and complicated palace costumes. The palace costumes were full of various orderly patterns. If you look carefully, you can see the traces of the small embroidery village. Talk to the Grand Eunuch of Ganquan Palace.

The eldest **** respectfully and kindly said to the fifth princess: "Your Highness, the niece already knows your intentions, the niece is very satisfied with this matter, let the old slave give you a message, what you ask, the niece should Come down, so you can rest easy."

The fifth princess didn't say any more. After thanking the eunuch, she saluted in the direction of the Queen's Palace, and left with an elegant maid.

After walking away, the maid let out a long sigh of relief. For some reason, everyone knew that the Empress was the most tolerant person in the palace, but every time the little maid came here, she was afraid to breathe.

Probably this is the royal prestige, the little girl thought.

But obviously this maid has a big heart. After thinking about it, she threw it away and asked her master carefully: "Princess, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty love you so much, what can't you say directly, do you still need to ask me?"

The fifth princess just smiled and looked at this dress on her body, was she favored? Maybe, but there is no love for no reason and no hate for no reason in this world.

The Fifth Princess sometimes even felt that the Queen looked at her as if she was looking at another person through her, which was very strange.

But she is just a princess whose biological mother was born invisible. Because of the different preference of the queen, she has come before others and has been loved by the emperor. She is already luckier than many brothers and sisters, and she should be content and grateful.

Even though she didn't understand what Niangniang ordered, she would try her best to do it well, in order to thank the queen for choosing herself among so many people.

In the Ganquan Palace at this time, the queen got up from the bed in her pajamas, her face was a little pale, but her face was calm, and her expression was the calmness that she could summon a woman after she put on clothes.

But if he opened his mouth, the heart of the big **** who came in to return to life was trembling.

"Yuchen, I dreamed of that child just now, do you think she will blame me?" The queen's eyes looked through the window, as if she wanted to look straight into the distance.

The big **** known as Yuchen sighed, thinking a lot involuntarily.

Empress has not been easy for so many years, Your Majesty is merciless, and the beauties in the palace enter one by one. Today, she loves this one, and tomorrow she likes that one. It is difficult to take care of the harem.

If that's the case, that's all, it's another sense of equal treatment, at least everyone is balanced in their hearts.

However, His Majesty turned out that the iron tree was blooming more than ten years ago, and he had a hot fight with a beautiful girl. He soon became a favored thing in the eyes of everyone. In just two years, the beautiful girl has grown from a small beautiful girl all the way. rose to the head of the four concubines.

There was no sense of existence to set off the people in the palace, even the queen, she could contradict one or two, no one could be less sharp, the palace concubine had a difficult life under the circumstances at that time.

If His Majesty still remembers going to the Queen's Ganquan Palace to spend the night on the 15th day of every month, the ministers would have been killed on the pillar because the emperor could not sleep with the woman.

Probably the only luck is that the woman's belly has been left alone for two years without any movement, but under such circumstances, that person coaxed His Majesty to publicly say that her child would be crowned prince in the future.

The harem of the former dynasty was shaken, and there was a sudden upheaval in the dark.

Maybe the emperor regretted it after saying that. After all, because of the emperor's words, almost all the people in the censor's desk were dispatched and scolded the emperor from head to toe.

What a nasty scolding, all the older palace servants still remember the grand occasion of that year, which was almost the highlight of the Censor's nearly 20 years, and the battle that has been recorded in the history books.

The queen was conceived under those circumstances. At that time, the child in the queen's belly placed too many hopes on the queen. The queen who was coerced into the harem struggle of the previous dynasty had no choice and had to give birth to a prince.

Even if you give birth to a daughter, you have to become a prince.

The queen has no way out, and one can imagine the fate of a queen without a son.

So under the expectations of many people, the queen lived up to expectations and gave birth to a son.

Although the son was not crowned as a prince, and the child's blessing was poor, he was involved in the vortex of the court struggle at birth, and died in an accident when he was five years old, but the child was of great significance to the court at that time. .

It was also because of the death of the child that the emperor, out of guilt and pressure from the court, finally named the second prince born to the queen as the crown prince.

As for the children of Chenjia Village...

The big eunuch's waist involuntarily bent a little, then bowed to the queen and said, "My lady..."

The queen waved her hand, but did not let the **** finish her sentence: "Forget it, complain or not, this is the life of our mother and daughter, and in this life, a mother like me will not be able to hear her shouting out to me, mother.

And she has another serious mother in her heart. The less contact between us, the safer she will be.

In the future, if there is nothing to do, don't contact there, just let her live her little life quietly, and I will watch it secretly, so that she won't be wronged. "

The big **** sighed deeply in his heart, not knowing what to say.

This heavenly family is like a father not a father, a son not a son, a mother and a daughter cannot recognize each other for a lifetime, everyone has their own difficulties, which one does not suffer in their hearts?

I don't know if others are suffering or not, but she feels extremely bitter at the moment. The real man who came out of the rain of bullets in the wooden warehouse is a ruthless character who doesn't even look back when it explodes.

This time was defeated by the simple menstrual belt.

Plant ash and muslin are already the best menstrual companions for women at the moment, but the colicky pains in the lower abdomen and the weirdness when walking make Shi Yan feel extremely difficult.

Everything that happened after the first month made Shi Yan lie flat.

It is said to the public that Shi Yan's body has finally achieved initial results after more than half a year of conditioning, her small body has begun to grow taller, and her chest has begun to develop.

She is no longer the skinny little girl who looked like she didn't have enough to eat.

At the same time, menstruation began to visit.

This is the first time I have experienced this kind of experience, lying in bed and being forced to cover the heater and sleep under the quilt during the day. Once again, I feel the girl's body, which is really amazing.

Although the pain at that time was only for a moment, but Mother Du was still worried, she told Shi Yan a thousand and ten thousand orders, without saying a word, she shoved Shi Yan into the bed, and then went to help her daughter to cook blood-enriching soup.

But the above is just an external statement. Shi Yan knows it very well. Her physical growth retardation is entirely due to the influence of drugs. Half a year ago, the family moved to Fucheng.

Even the dark skin that looked unnatural in the past has gradually faded, although it is not obvious.

Shi Yan had only smelled it before and knew if it was a drug that controls the development of a person's body, or even changed a person's skin color, or it was a drug that Du's mother gave her by herself.

These days, Shi Yan followed the channel through which Mother Du passed the news, and roughly knew the identity of the other party.

The current queen.

Although I don't know the exact relationship between myself and the queen, the reasons are nothing more than those kinds of reasons, and I don't even bother to investigate further.

Who makes her life so satisfying now?

As for the use of drugs to control her physical development and change her skin color in the past, but now she has suddenly changed her mind, she knows with her toes, that she must be the one who doesn't live up to her expectations and can no longer threaten the other party.

This shows that either the other party already has absolute strength and is not afraid of the threat of knowing Yan.

Either the threat of knowing Yan has expired, for example, she is developing normally now, and there is a gap with the established facts, which does not constitute a condition for threatening the other party.

This method of both protection and prevention has to make people imagine.

Suddenly, there was a warm current in the lower abdomen, and the mind of Shi Yan was gone.

Really grass.

In the past few days, Shi Yan, who was kept at home by Du’s mother and was not allowed to go out, changed into a boy’s costume and put on clothes carefully sewn by Du’s mother and Manniang. Taking advantage of the good weather, she got Du’s approval and stayed at home. Randomly walked around.

Got compliments from everyone.

Manniang was young, looked at Shi Yan in a daze, and said involuntarily, "Sister A Yan is so free and easy, if she is a man, I must marry her!"

To be honest, even though Shi Yan is dressed in women's clothes, his walking posture has gradually become masculine, and it doesn't make people feel disobedient. It just feels that this person is very free and easy, and it's easy for people to ignore his gender and be shown by her body. Attractive atmosphere.

Of course, it's even more perfect when I don't see that black face.

The whole family was happy for Shiyan's change, Du Shiyou was even more excited to eat two bowls of rice, took Shiyan's hand and said, "Amy, I just said my classmate's whitening recipe is very useful, If you don't believe it, it must be said that lead powder is added to this recipe, and it is easy to disfigure your face if you use too much.

You see, it has only been used for a few days, and your face has turned a lot whiter, so you can use it with confidence, without my brother looking for you! It will definitely make you white and beautiful! "

Consciousness who knows everything: "…"

The culprit, Mother Du: "..."

Shi Yan had to tell Du Shi a tragic fact: "Brother, the whitening cream you gave me was taken away by Wang Xiaohua, and I didn't have time to use it.

Also, I'm not kidding you, the lead powder in that recipe is really not a good thing, it's better to use less. "

"Again," Shi Yan pointed at his face and asked Du Shiyou to open his eyes to look at the world, "This face is almost the same as the past, how do you see it's so much whiter?"

It's no different from talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Du Shiyou automatically filtered out the first two questions, and said proudly, "Of course I saw it with my eyes!"

The whole family, including Uncle Zhang, who is the doorman, and Zhang Yuan, a book boy who has never been enlightened and can't appreciate women at all, are comforting Shi Yan, saying that she has changed a lot from the past, and is much more beautiful. If you continue to persevere, she will definitely become the most beautiful in the entire Fucheng. woman!

A bunch of mindless blowers.

Mother Du, in particular, was very excited about the change in Shiyan, she held Shiyan's face and looked at it for a long time, tears welling up in her eyes, and she couldn't help murmuring: "It's good, it's good, it's finally good, and it's good that I don't have to be like the past, it's good , Mother is so happy!"

Mother Du even began to happily find her husband's house for Shiyan, and inquired about all the sons who had a name in the city and were about the same age as Shiyan. Which son's age and hobbies Du mother knew clearly, and the family was just the same. There are hundreds of portraits of the young man.

People who don’t know saw it and thought it was the princess who chose the concubine. Forget about this exaggeration. Shi Yan said it twice, but Mother Du didn’t listen. She was immersed in the joy of finally being able to find a husband for her daughter. Inextricable.

Du's father and Du Shiyou were very supportive of Du's mother's actions and helped to choose and inquire together.

Only at the end, the three of them were discouraged and found that among the hundreds of men, none of them were worthy of their Ah Yan. It was really sad, and they hated that iron was not steel.

Now, why are all the men so unsatisfactory?

Shi Yan originally wanted to do something to let the family know that she has no plans to marry, but looking at the current situation, it is strange that she can marry under the criticism of the whole family.

So let go and let the three toss.

Shiyan could see that Mother Du seemed to have put down some heavy shackles, and her whole person was much lighter. The previously suppressed emotions had a tendency to explode recently, and she focused on finding ways to dress Shiyan all day long.

Not only Mother Du, Father Du and Du Shiyou are also very keen to buy some fresh jewelry for Shi Yan outside. Seeing Shi Yan wearing it on her head will make you happy for a long time.

For the sake of the family's happiness, Shi Yan can only be a little girl who can be dressed up temporarily.

Everyone is happy for Shi Yan's change.

Except for Wang Xiaohua, who came by.

For this girl, even Uncle Zhang, who was the gatekeeper, was helpless. Every time he came empty-handed, he carried back a large bag and a small bag, without showing any gratitude on his lips.

A pair of poor relatives came to the door to play the autumn wind, completely unable to understand other people's hints, unable to understand other people's faces, talking to themselves, and feeling good about themselves.

Uncle Zhang didn't even know if Wang Xiaohua was so stupid, or if she was acting stupid.

But today Wang Xiaohua came to visit, and there was a person by her side.

This man entered the gate of Du's house, his eyes were full of greed, and he didn't say a good word.

All the way from the outside to the inside, Uncle Zhang heard that his head was getting bigger, and he rolled his eyes for a while.

Just listening to the girl muttering, she said after a while: "That pot over there has a rotten hole on the side, and I don't know how to replace it with a new one. If it is placed at the door, people will think that this family is poor. I can't eat anymore!"

Uncle Zhang took a look, good guy, he bought it from his own house to grow flowers, and the hole was reserved for water seepage.

Then I heard the little girl say: "Oh, there's an orange tree in the flowerpot, isn't it? The orange fingernails are a bit bigger, not half as big as the one transplanted from my uncle's house from the south in the county seat, don't it? Are you reluctant to put fertilizer? This is too stingy!"

Uncle Zhang took another look, hey, the kumquat landscape tree I bought at a high price, just to look beautiful! Don't plot his results.

I saw the little girl pointing at the mural that the eldest young master lasted for a month and finished a few days ago and said: "Oh, what kind of ghost painting is that, it's ugly, my uncle said that the walls of big families are clean and even. Not a single drop of mosquito blood.

Why is this house so messy everywhere? Can't even hire someone to clean the walls? "

Uncle Zhang doesn't want to talk anymore. The young master is very proud of the murals. Even the master and the young lady said that the young master's painting skills have greatly improved.

But already in the living room, Shi Yan, who was reading a book with his feet raised, saved Uncle Zhang's ears. Uncle Zhang briefly explained to Shi Yan, left the two, and left in a panic.

Inferiority, greed, imposing cover up, pretending not to understand.

The weakness of human nature is clearly manifested in this girl. She is young and has never experienced anything. In Uncle Zhang's eyes, it is almost like nothing.

Shi Yan glanced at it, isn't this Chen Shijiao?

As if she didn't know that the Du family didn't want to see her, Wang Xiaohua sat directly opposite Shi Yan, acting like the host, pointed to a chair and said to Chen Shijiao, "Don't you want to come? Since you're here, sit down! "

But Chen Shijiao was not polite, he sat down and took a bite of the dessert on the table, then returned it to the plate, frowned, "Why is it not sweet? Du Shiyan, your family can't even afford a little frosting, right? "

Shi Yan saw that the painting book was reaching its peak and tide, and without raising his head, he said bluntly: "Our dog sees people low, and divides the guests into three, six, nine, and so on.

The distinguished and reasonable guests came, and naturally there were sweet cakes filled with icing sugar.

If you don't have the courtesy to hit the door of the autumn wind, you can have a stutter, and you don't want to eat it, right? Then don't eat it, turn around and let Uncle Zhang feed the dog. "

Mother Du is well-kept. In order to have a good reputation among the neighbors, she can tolerate Wang Xiaohua for a long time.

Shi Yan doesn't care about fame, let alone making himself unhappy because of fame.

In the past, Shi Yan was impatient to receive Wang Xiaohua, and it was Mother Du who was dealing with it, but now that she met her, she would naturally not be like Mother Du.

Chen Shijiao was very angry and wanted to leave directly, but thinking about the purpose of their trip, he didn't know what he should inquire about, so he went back like this. His parents couldn't explain it, so he sat down again aggrieved and ruthless. Glancing at Shi Yan fiercely.

Shi Yan is not used to this stinky problem, what kind of thing.

Directly called Uncle Zhang to drive the people away. The most important thing was that only Chen Shijiao was driven away, and Wang Xiaohua was still staying at home.

Knowing is intentional.

Standing at the door, Chen Shijiao, who was too lazy to take the ideal and rushed up to bite, directly instructed Uncle Zhang: "If you can't learn to speak human words, don't put it in the house in the future, it's very annoying."

Uncle Zhang nodded yes, he didn't dare to think about how much these two girls would fight for this.

Tsk, the temperament of my eldest lady is really refreshing.
