Chapter 6 — That Day of Reconciliation, the God of War Former Husband Resolved Not to Let Go

Now when I leave, except for that book of peace and separation, the only thing I bring with me is the dowry money that belongs to me. Although Mrs. Huo secretly cut down a lot, the rest is enough for me and Xuan Dao to find a safe place to settle down. I rented a small courtyard in a quiet alley in the west of the city - a place that is not considered prosperous, but is peaceful. A small courtyard with three main rooms and two small rooms, in the middle there is a small space, and in the corner of the wall is an old and half-dried apricot tree. This place is not big, but it is clean, independent, away from the chaos and chaos. Xuan Dao's agile hands and feet quickly tidied up the house until the windows were shiny and clean inside and out. Looking at this little world that only belongs to us, a sincere smile finally appeared on her face: "Miss, this place is so good! Much better than that ice-cold general's palace!" I also laughed. That's right, no matter how small, this is your own home, no need to look at other people's faces, no need to worry anymore. The first thing after settling in is to inventory the remaining dowry money. Although that amount of silver is not much, if we save a little, it will be enough to last us two or three years. But if you only rely on the remaining money and sit and enjoy it forever, sooner or later it will run out. We still have to soon plan a way to make a living for the future. Three years in that general's palace, to pass the time in the long nights and relieve the sadness in my heart, the only thing I could do was bury my head in the princess. From the initial simple embroidery patterns, until later he began to research lost magic methods, thinking about new color combinations and unique patterns. Although Mrs. Huo was harsh with me, she never cut corners when it came to female work, perhaps because she felt that these things that "couldn't get on the table" weren't worth wasting her time on. Even the old ladies who have left the palace have praised my skills as "heavenly skillful". It's just a pity that at that time, my embroidery was either taken away by Mrs. Hoac as a gift to give to someone else, or was arbitrarily thrown into a corner of the warehouse to collect dust. Right now, this bravery has become my only support. It took me three days to meticulously embroider a round fan named 《Diep Luyen Peony》. I use the most complicated double-sided, heterochromatic, and heteroacupuncture method. On the front are butterfly wings flowing in brilliant colors under the sunlight, the beautiful peony seems to be about to drop drops of dew; However, when I turned to the back side, under the dim moonlight, there were vague shadows of butterflies and peonies drenched in dew. The two sides, front and back, have completely different moods, but are perfectly merged into one, so sophisticated that it resembles the magic of a ghost's palace. Xuan Dao looked until her eyes were blank: "Miss! This... this is too magical! I have never seen such exquisite embroidery skills!" I brought that round fan with me to "Van Thuong Cac" - the most famous elite guild in the capital. The treasurer of Van Thuong Cac is a smart woman about forty years old, surnamed Ton. She held my embroidery, held it up to the light, turned it over and looked at a whole stick of incense, the expression on her face from initially indifferent and indifferent, gradually turned into surprise, and finally became serious and serious. “Is this… your skill?” She raised her head and looked at me, her eyes sharp. I nodded: "Yes." “Inherited from whom?” "The family passed down some shallow skills, they didn't dare mention the masters. Later... it seemed like they were researching on their own." I replied calmly. Treasurer Sun lowered his head to look closely at the embroidery again, especially the transitions that were so delicate that it was almost impossible to see the needle and thread, but could perfectly express the change of light and shadow and the light and shadow. After a long while, she slowly put the item down. "With this lady's skills, let alone in the capital, even if you look throughout the entire Great Zhou, I'm afraid you won't be able to find many people who can compare." She let out a sigh.
