Chapter 221： Zhao Ya apprentice

Chapter 221 Zhao Ya Apprenticeship

221 Sister Yaya Apprenticeship

Because the distance was not very far, and the ox cart was traveling on this path, and the bumps were severe, Zhao Dong was not in a hurry to drive the cart.

After walking for more than half an hour, they came to Wuli Village.

At that time, many villagers were working in the fields, and children in twos and threes gathered to play on the street.

When their ox cart entered the village, it attracted the attention of the villagers, and many children looked towards them curiously.

At this moment, a thin little boy approached their ox cart curiously. He glanced at Zhao Zhitong and Zhao Ya in the cart, then at Zhao Dong, and asked curiously, "Who are you? Those who leave relatives, or those who want to settle in our village?"

The little boy was not afraid of strangers at all.

Wuli Village is not the kind of old village with deep roots and family continuity. Most of the people in the village came here after fleeing famine.

Obviously, the little boy had seen other people who settled in their village, so he asked this question.

Sun Mei smiled and took out a candy, handed it to him and asked, "My child, here is the candy. I want you to ask, is there a mother-in-law named Yunniang in your village? She can embroider."

Seeing that it was candy, the little boy's eyes lit up. He stretched out his hand to happily take the candy, and said, "I don't know a mother-in-law called Yunniang, but there is a strange mother-in-law in our village. We call her Grandma Yun." Son, I don't know if she can embroider, I don't know if the person you are looking for is her?"

Called Pozi Yun, thinking whether to go and see first, so Sun Mei smiled and nodded: "Then do you know where her home is?"

The child got the candy and was very dedicated: "I know, I will take you there!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and ran in front of the bullock cart.

The other children were envious when they saw the little boy got the candy, and they all ran to follow around the bullock cart, thinking that if Sun Mei asked anything later, they could also ask for a candy.

After turning two corners, they came to a somewhat remote place at the end of the village.

From far away, you can see a small courtyard of a thatched cottage, which is lonely there. If you think about it, this should be the home of Mrs. Guan that the child said.

Sure enough, after seeing the yard, the little boy stopped, pointed to the thatched cottage and said, "Mrs. Guan lives here."

Sun Mei nodded, smiled at the little boy, and thanked him.

The little boy turned and ran away happily.

There were a bunch of kids following behind, but when they realized that Sun Mei and the others were looking for the strange mother-in-law, they all stopped in their tracks.

So, at this moment, there were only a few children who were still following. After the ox cart stopped, the remaining few children also ran away in a swarm.

Sun Mei took the lead in taking Zhao Ya off the bullock cart, and turned her head to hug Zhao Zhaotong, when she saw that the little girl was refusing the help of her aunt, lying alone on the edge of the bullock cart, and the wheels slid down.

Fortunately, the two little feet are firmly on the ground.

After everyone came down, Zhao Dong led the ox cart and said to Sun Mei, "Go in and have a look. I'll find a tree and tie the ox up."

Sun Mei nodded, and together with Sun Lan, they brought Zhao Ya and Zhao Zhitong and knocked on the door of Guan Pozi's house.

"Who!"

After a while, a voice full of vicissitudes of life sounded from the yard, and then, a slightly hunchbacked woman came out of the thatched cottage.

The courtyard wall of Mrs. Guan’s house is surrounded by fences. Standing outside, you can see what’s going on inside.

So, after the old woman came out, Sun Lan recognized her, and excitedly said to Sun Mei, "Sister, it's her, it's Yunniang!"

Hearing the affirmative answer, Sun Mei was also happy, and it was considered that the trip was not in vain.

Sun Lan smiled and said to the people inside: "Aunt Yun, it's me."

Grandma Yun's eyes were not very good, but she still heard the voice, and said with a smile: "You are, the Sun family of the Wang family who opened the embroidery room!"

While speaking, the door has already been opened.

"Who are these?"

Yunniang looked at the other people outside the door suspiciously.

Sun Lan smiled and said: "Aunt Yun, this is my sister, and these two children belong to my sister's family. Also, I am no longer the Sun family of the Wang family, and I have reconciled with the Wang family."

Yunniang was quite surprised to hear this, after all, the Sun family in her impression was submissive, but did not have the courage to reconcile.

But still led a few people into the courtyard, and said casually: "I'm the only old woman at home, and I don't have anything to entertain you..."

Sun Lan stopped Yunniang, put the snacks they brought on the table, and said with a smile, "Aunt Yun, don't be too busy, we are here today to find you."

"Oh?" Yun Niang looked at several people unexpectedly, a little puzzled: "I am an old woman who is about to go blind, what important things can you ask me for?"

Sun Lan glanced at Sun Mei and said with a smile: "It's like this, Aunt Yun, a girl from my sister's family, likes embroidery, so my sister wants to find a reliable embroiderer for her."

"It just so happens that she heard what I said about you, so she wanted to come to you and see if she could take her girl as an apprentice?"

Yunniang paused for a moment, then laughed: "Oh, what did I think it was, so it was for this."

"However, I want you to make this trip in vain. Now, I am an old woman who is almost blind. It is difficult to thread a needle. It has been a long time since I have not used a needle and thread. I am rusty, but I can't teach my apprentices."

This is a polite refusal.

However, Sun Mei didn't give up immediately, but said: "Aunt Yun, I heard my sister often mention you, saying that you are very good at embroidery. At that time, my children were very envious when they heard about it."

As he spoke, he called Zhao Ya over: "Yaya, come on, don't you always want to see Granny Yun, come and greet Granny Yun."

Zhao Ya is very obedient, she walked over obediently, and greeted Yun Niang.

Seeing that the little girl is well-behaved, Yunniang also said a few more words to Zhao Ya, but she never changed her words.

She was determined not to accept disciples.

When they were leaving, Sun Mei didn't force her, she only said that they would come to visit her someday.

Naturally, Sun Mei did not give up. After a short period of contact, some small details made Sun Mei, who has a very keen intuition, guess that this Yun Niang is definitely not easy, and her craftsmanship is absolutely amazing.

After that, Sun Mei took Zhao Ya alone to visit Yunniang every now and then, only mentioning visits, but never mentioning the matter of accepting apprentices.

Gradually, Yunniang didn't reject Sun Mei's visit so much, and would occasionally hold Zhao Ya to talk for a while.

After getting in touch like this, Yunniang also found out that Zhao Ya is indeed very talented in embroidery, which made her a little shaken, but Ren Jiu didn't let go.

Until another visit.

When Zhao Zhitong went with him, he reminded Zhao Ya that although Grandma Yun didn't want to accept apprentices, Zhao Ya could bring her own embroidery and ask for advice.

So, Zhao Ya followed Zhao Zhitong's suggestion and went with her own embroidery.

At first, Yunniang's reaction to Zhao Ya's embroidery was very flat, but her heart was already turbulent.

In the end, I really couldn't hold back, so I gave a few words of guidance, and in the end, I even taught him by hand.
