Chapter 41: Five Hundred Years Old
"Little Tian’er is back, come in and rest for a while!" Zhang Qiao Niang laughed.
Beisitian thought for a moment she had entered the wrong house, but upon another glance, she realized this indeed was her home. Then she turned to Zhang Qiao Niang.
"Aunt Qiao is here." Beisitian greeted.
Zhang Qiao Niang looked at Beisitian, her posture was straightened, her gaze no longer avoided people, and she didn’t speak hesitantly anymore. Indeed, people can change!
Luo Anping ran into the house, lifted the lid of the water jar, grabbed a ladle, and drank heartily.
Beisitian threw the whip into the firewood room and also entered the house. Zhang Qiao Niang moved from the kang to the bench.
"Aunt Qiao, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?" Beisitian asked.
This appearance surely meant there was something.
Zhang Qiao Niang laughed, "Little Tian’er, I heard you’re now an embroidery woman at Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop. Aunt was also an embroidery woman, has loved embroidery since childhood. Today, I waited for you to come back just to see your embroidery pieces and to broaden my horizons!"
Beisitian thought it was something else, turns out it was this, she nodded and said, "Sure, though I don’t have anything new right now. Maybe in a couple of days, Aunt can come over and I’ll show you. It might not be much, as I’m also continuously learning."
Zhang Qiao Niang agreed, chatted casually a bit, and couldn’t stay. Since it was mealtime, staying longer wouldn’t be considerate, plus she had to cook at home.
After Zhang Qiao Niang left, Mrs. Qin said softly, "You watch, within a day, the news that you’re an embroidery woman at Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop will spread throughout the village."
