Chapter 234 Exquisite Chapter Book
Su He stayed at home for three days without realizing it. She felt so comfortable at home. All she had to do every day was wait for food and she didn't have to do any work.
That afternoon, Su He was lying on the kang eating a steamed bun when he heard Cui Niang knocking on the door.
"Miss, there's someone at the door looking for you. They say they're from the Zhao Mansion."
Su He stood up quickly. It was over. She forgot to go to the city to give the script.
When Su He rushed out to take a look, it was indeed Zhang Xu.
"Brother Zhang, we meet again."
Zhang Xu smiled innocently, "Hehua, the old lady asked me to get the book, and she said you should go there in the next two days."
"Okay, I knew you were after this. Yes, I've got them all. I'll go see the old lady tomorrow."
Zhang Xu took the notebook given by Su He and put it in his arms. After saying goodbye simply, he rode away on horseback.
That’s right, this time he was actually riding a horse, which shows how anxious Chen was.
Su He thought for a moment and asked Cui Niang to find Liu Bai. She decided to set off for the city now and go to Zhao's house early tomorrow morning.
"Aunt He, please pack me some corn cakes so I can eat them in the evening."
Su He didn't have much to pack, so she picked up two pieces of clothing, rolled them up, and took Liu Bai into the carriage and left.
"Xiao Bai, if you keep following me, I'll pay you every month. Two taels a month, okay?"
Su He just realized that Liu Bai had been following her all the time. He was a servant she bought before, and they were all together when they fled the famine, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Bai following her. Now everyone is minding their own business, so it's not appropriate for her to let Liu Bai follow her every day.
Liu Bai wanted to say no, but looking at Su He's appearance, he was afraid that Su He would not let him follow her in the future.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Su He nodded with relief and lay in the carriage to think about her next storybook. Chen was so anxious to ask her for the second half, it seemed that this kind of story was very popular.
What story should be written next? Su He was thinking about the TV series he had watched in modern times.
Why not just write a story about an embroiderer who lives a wonderful life on her own?
This time she is writing about a small family, so she should be able to write a longer book. It can be divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower.
Embroidery girl Xiaoyu started learning embroidery from her mother when she was three years old. When she was seven years old, her hometown was hit by a flood. In order to keep her two younger brothers alive, she was sold by her father. Because she could embroider, her father-in-law sold her to the prefect Zhou's family. The housekeeper saw that she was pretty and arranged for her to be a third-class maid for the young lady in the mansion.
Xiaoyu did not fight or compete after entering the mansion. She did her work every day and then did embroidery to earn money to redeem herself. She saved her purses and handkerchiefs every month and sold them. Ten years later, she finally redeemed herself and returned home happily. She thought she would be reunited with her family, but she was sold to the second son of a butcher in the neighboring village a year later. Xiaoyu soon became pregnant, and the butcher's second son actually took a mistress. Xiaoyu went back crying to tell her parents, but her parents told her to endure it.
Xiaoyu had no choice but to return to her husband's home crying. A year later, she gave birth to a daughter. The butcher's second son actually demanded a divorce because the concubine had given birth to a son.
Now the butcher's family was hesitant, and Xiaoyu went to find her parents again. Unexpectedly, her mother scolded her for being useless and giving birth to a money-losing child.
Xiaoyu looked at her indifferent parents' family and her heartless husband's family, and suddenly she came to realize that since there was no one she could rely on, she had to rely on herself.
Finally, Xiaoyu divorced with her daughter and rented a small courtyard in the city, relying on her embroidery to support herself and her daughter. It turned out that Xiaoyu had a hidden trick and kept 50 taels of silver on her.
Five years later, Xiaoyu's embroidery skills became more and more sophisticated. She figured out double-sided embroidery on her own and sold a folding screen for a high price of two thousand taels. She suddenly became the most famous embroiderer in the city.
At this time, Xiaoyu's greedy family members appeared again. Xiaoyu resolutely broke off relations with them and finally married the owner of the embroidery building.
Su He simply conceived the outline. The first part was that she redeemed herself and went out to see her family, but was eventually cheated of all her money by her family and sold to a butcher's family. The second part was that she gave birth to a daughter in the butcher's family, and then divorced in despair. She took out the hidden silver and secretly rented a yard in the city, and supported her family with embroidery skills. The third part was that the double-sided embroidery was sold at a high price, and then her family members who heard the news came to grab the silver, but were sued by Xiaoyu who was well prepared. In the end, her family members went to jail, and Xiaoyu happily married the second manager of the embroidery building and lived a happy life.
When Su He got inspiration, he immediately went into his space and wrote it down. He finished half of the first part in just a few hours in the carriage.
After arriving at the house, I hurriedly had dinner with Liu Bai and immediately went back to my room to start writing. In one night, I had finished polishing the first part.
The next day, Su He got up early, ate two meat buns and went to Zhao's house.
"You damn girl, you didn't even know you were back in the village. You don't farm, so why do you always stay in the village? The lady has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, follow me."
Mother Zhang couldn't stand Su He's leisurely look, so she dragged her away and trotted away. The maids beside her were stunned. Is this Mother Zhang?
The two of them trotted all the way to Chen's room. Su He felt her stomach churning after just eating. Mother Zhang shouted happily to Chen.
"Miss, I brought this lazy girl with me."
The lazy girl Su He reluctantly bowed, "Madam, Lotus is here."
Chen looked at Su He's pale face and glanced at Zhang's mother.
"Lotus' face turned pale, Ayuan, just walk slowly next time."
Just as Su He was feeling moved, she heard Chen asking.
"Lotus, please take a look at what I wrote. I have spent the past few days writing the beginning. I have revised it several times but it is still not good enough."
Su He took it speechlessly, glanced at it and found the problem.
"Madam, you write too flowery. People who read storybooks just want to kill time and have fun. It's better for us to write more straightforwardly. You wrote 200 words just about the weather at the beginning. If I were to summarize, it would be, today is sunny, suitable for traveling."
Chen was a little reluctant. "My beginning is so good. I spent a whole day just thinking about how to describe the willow tree. Are you going to throw it away?"
Su He smiled, "You can keep it. Madam, wait for you to finish writing it and put it in a bookstore to see if it can be sold. Books that can be sold are all good books."
Chen then laughed, and Madam Zhang joined in the fun, "Hehua, you don't know how attentive the young lady has been these past few days. She even shortened her meal times. Yesterday, the Second Master wanted to come and have dinner with the young lady, but she refused, hahahaha."
Su He covered her mouth and laughed. It seemed that Chen had put all her passion into writing in her storybook and had no time to even take care of her son.
"No wonder I saw that the old lady looked so good today. It's good for the old lady to have something to do, so that she can live a fulfilling life every day. By the way, I suggested that you take a walk every day before, have you persisted?"
"Ahem, well, A-Yuan, don't you have something to say to Hehua?"
Chen felt guilty and tried to change the subject, but unfortunately Zhang's mother also felt guilty and she didn't practice either. The two of them only remembered to drink milk tea every day and forgot everything else.
Su He tried hard not to laugh out loud and changed the subject, "Madam, how about the book I wrote? Is it selling well?"
Speaking of this, Chen became proud again, "Yuan, you say."
Mother Zhang became excited again. She took out a book from the bookcase next to her and handed it to Su He.
Su He picked it up and took a look. There were a few words written on the yellow cover: Huang Chuner's New Life.
There is a picture of a beauty next to the words. When you open it, you will find that the words are more beautiful than those written on wood, and they even have illustrations!
"Did I write this?"
