After Xijin asked Aunt Liu for instructions on how to make dumplings, and after understanding it, she returned to the clothing workshop and saw that most of the female family members were already making clothes.
Xi Jin was not in a hurry. She didn't come here for the two cents anyway.
Just after eating the dry and hard coarse grain buns and the tasteless vegetable soup, Xi Jin thought that he would bring some tea tomorrow, otherwise he would not be able to endure this long day.
Xi Jin picked up the clothes in his hands and began to sew them. Except for those of high-ranking officials, the rest were just a few pieces of cloth sewn together according to fixed sizes, which was not difficult at all.
However, as Xi Jin was doing it, she discovered that the ones that came to her hands were all large-sized ones, while those who came to the workshop first had small-sized ones. It seemed that this small workshop was also full of intrigues. .
Xi Jin didn't want to pay attention to this. If the size is big, just go big. It's just a matter of a few threads. If you make a fuss over such a small matter and annoy the "old man" in the workshop, it will definitely outweigh the gain.
In the spring afternoon, the warm sun was shining brightly outside the window. Gradually, everyone became a little sleepy and began to feel overwhelmed. Mrs. Li, who was in charge, was already sitting on a high chair nearby and snoring.
"Ah." Lan'er suddenly exclaimed from the side.
Xi Jin turned around and saw that she accidentally pricked her finger. She subconsciously held her fingertip in her mouth with a worried look on her face.
Seeing Xi Jin looking over, she said with some fear: "Sister Jin, I'm a little scared, I'm afraid I can't do it well."
Xi Jin patted her shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing. You've done a good job."
"You put it lightly, it's just a piece of clothing." It was the woman with the birthmark on her face who spoke just now. She said in a weird voice, "These are General Gu's clothes. General Gu is a general who fought bloody battles on the front line. It would be very unlucky if these clothes were stained with the blood of a woman like you."
Xi Jin raised his eyes and said in a cold voice: "The people sitting here are all good at making clothes, but who dares to say that he has never pricked his finger when making clothes? General Gu is a brave and fearless general, so why Afraid of the woman’s blood.”
"Okay, my wife Xie Luo said it very well." Aunt Liu was the first to cheer.
"What's your name?" The woman with the birthmark on her face looked over with a cold face, looking unkind.
"Mu Xijin." Xi Jin stood up, with a smile on his lips, looking at her lightly, without any fear. Although she didn't cause trouble, she was not afraid of it.
"I remember you, Mu Xijin." The woman gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Sister Jin." Lan'er stood up and pulled Xi Jin's sleeves, looking timidly at the woman with the birthmark, "If you want to blame, blame me. This has nothing to do with sister Jin."
"Lan'er, it's okay, she will beg me when she wants." Xi Jin looked at the birthmark on the woman's face with a calm expression.
The woman with the birthmark felt Xi Jin's eyes and subconsciously covered her face with inferiority: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I, Zhao Qiaoniang, beg you?"
Xi Jin smiled faintly, pointed to the birthmark on her face, and said with great determination: "This will happen one day."
"You..." Zhao Qiaoniang was exiled to Yazhou a few years ago, and her parents died one after another on the way there.
Nowadays, only the grandfather and younger brother are left in the family to depend on each other. Over the years, due to their skillful skills, they have been able to earn some money in the workshop, but they have not gone hungry.
But the birthmark on her face has always been a thorn in her heart. She is not young anymore, and the girls who were exiled with her have already found someone to marry.
If a girl like her who has become a criminal can find a local man to marry in Yazhou, even if she is still a refugee, if she gives birth to a child and settles in Yazhou, it will no longer matter whether she is a refugee or not. .
But she couldn't find her husband's family because of the birthmark on her face. Not only that, even if it was making clothes, Mrs. Li would never leave good jobs to her, always thinking she was unlucky.
Over time, she developed a withdrawn and eccentric character.
But at this moment, this smiling woman pointed to the birthmark on her face, so she was sure that she would beg her at some point. Did she have a way to remove the birthmark on her face?
She didn't know why, but looking at Mu Xijin's back sitting there calmly, she inexplicably believed her words.
But here, Xi Jin doesn't really care about Zhao Qiaoniang's reaction. Xi Jin has treated too many people. One more person is not too much, and one person less than her is not too much.
If she is a smart person, she should know not to offend herself, and maybe she can find a chance for herself.
Soon, the afternoon passed, and Mrs. Li finally woke up from her deep sleep. She yawned loudly: "It's getting late. You all should get off work and bring me the clothes you've made." The wages are settled here, and any unfinished work can be taken back to be done.”
Xi Jin made two pieces of clothing in one day, one of which was specially made for Xie Luo. The stitches were dense and the size fit. The sleeves were also embroidered with rosette patterns to make it easier for Xie Luo to identify them, so it took a lot of effort. !
Two pieces of clothing were neither too much nor too little. It would not be difficult to make two more pieces based on her ability, but she didn't want to make such a small amount of money. She would rather spend her time listening to the gossips of those women.
Although most of these gossips are gossip about the east and west, there is always some useful information.
Those women saw the way Xi Jin was quarreling with Zhao Qiaoniang, and they admired her somewhat. In fact, everyone had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Qiaoniang's aloof and arrogant look. Today, she finally made Zhao Qiaoniang speechless without even uttering a curse word. Yes, they admired her very much.
Although Xi Jin doesn't talk much, he can't resist the enthusiasm of those aunts and ladies. They like Xi Jin's neither coquettish nor charming appearance, and also like Xi Jin's gentle and polite appearance, so in just one afternoon, Xi Jin was drawn in. The gossip camp of the workshop.
In the gossip, everyone also learned that Xi Jin had medical skills, and they respected her more. Even the ladies who used to bully newcomers were a little more polite to Xi Jin.
Everyone knows that although there are hundreds of people living in this village, there is not even a serious doctor. When people in the village get sick, they either suffer by themselves or rush to the town to ask for a doctor.
But it is also very difficult to find a doctor in this town. Most of the people in Maxing Village are prisoners. The doctor in the town thinks it is unlucky and will not make any visits at all.
Xi Jin thought about how he had a fever and fell into a coma that day, and wondered how Xie Luo got the doctor.
At first, the women did not believe that a young girl like Xi Jin had medical skills, but when Xi Jin told them about the obscure women's diseases without even checking their pulse, they were all surprised. Open your mouth!
Xi Jin accepted their compliments with a natural expression. In the field of gynecology, Xi Jin dared to say that no one in the entire Yan Dynasty except her grandfather could be better than her.
If they were to know that he was a descendant of the Wei family and that he had nursed the body of the empress in the palace, they would be so surprised that they could not open their mouths from ear to ear.
Of course, Xi Jin did not promote her medical skills too much. She just thought that if she had a plan and let everyone know about it, then she would not need to come to this clothing workshop in the future.
If you continue to live in Yazhou in the way you are good at, your life should be more comfortable!
However, before that, she still needs to stay here for a while and get to know more people...
