Faithful 九义人 Episode 19

Wu Lian returned to Yanyu Xiulou and looked at the lost and recovered picture of falling plum blossoms. His thoughts could not help but drift to the distance. It was an unforgettable time for him. When he was a child, the head of the Wu family quarreled with his wife and teacher, so Wu Lian always liked to stay with his aunt Chen Yingxue, watching her embroidery, listening to her singing, and spending long hours in the back house with her.

But not every time, he had the chance to escape his parents' disputes. Whenever this happens, parents always criticize each other and are dissatisfied with each other. And Wu Lian is this "Sang". The little Wu Lian was caught in the middle, in a dilemma and unable to escape. So, when his parents were noisy and had no time to pay attention to him, he would quietly sneak out to find Chen Yingxue, where he could barely get a bite of hot food.

Chen Yingxue loved embroidering plum blossoms the most, and she also gave Wu Lian two sachets embroidered with plum blossoms. Wu Lian held the sachet and suddenly told Chen Yingxue very solemnly that his favorite thing in the future was plum blossoms. Seeing the stitches and threads turning into a beautiful pattern in her hands, Wu Lian also wanted to give it a try. Chen Yingxue was also very pleased and always taught him patiently and meticulously.

On this day, Wu Lian accompanied his mother to a dyeing workshop in the suburbs to check the accounts. While his mother was out, Wu Lian wandered around the dyeing workshop, but he seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen. After returning home, his father asked him what he had seen today. But Wu Lian lied that he slept all the way and didn't stay in the dye house for a long time. After leaving his father's place, Wu Lian went straight to Chen Yingxue's room, picked up the embroidery cloth and started embroidering. When Chen Yingxue came back, he asked her to teach him. There is no such thing as embroidery for men in this world. Chen Yingxue was worried that Wu Lian would be blamed, so she persuaded him to study hard. But if a child makes a decision, he will have an inexplicable persistence, and Wu Lian is no exception. Helpless, Chen Yingxue had no choice but to tell him not to tell his father about this matter.

Wu Lian also worked very hard and his embroidery skills became even better. But someone knew about this and broke into his room with several brothers at home, rummaged through all his embroidery cloths and threw them into the courtyard. Soon, Wu Lian's father also learned about this. So Wu Lian knelt down in the courtyard and let the harsh whip hit him. Not only that, Wu Lian's father also angered Chen Yingxue, beat her and scolded her severely, and even punished her by banning her from the hospital. That night, Wu Lian quietly slipped into Chen Yingxue's yard from the alley and saw the faintly visible slap marks on her face, feeling filled with guilt. Chen Yingxue gently stroked Wu Lian's head and said that she was lucky to have him visit her in this hospital. Tomorrow, Chen Yingxue was going to Zhuangzi in the suburbs. Before leaving, she comforted Wu Lian that she must study hard and obtain fame in the future.

In order to prepare more money for his wife, Wu Lian took his jade pendant to the pawn shop early in the morning. But when he returned to the yard, Chen Yingxue had already given his life to Sanchi Bailing. Wu Lian returned to Chen Yingxue's room in despair and sat there blankly from dawn to dusk. Before I knew it, it was daytime. Wu Lian made up his mind to leave home to learn embroidery skills and become a real embroidery master in the future. After countless years, the Yanyu embroidery building was finally built.

Yanyu embroidery building gradually became famous and was appreciated by the Zhang family, a wealthy gentry in Huaizhou City. So, it seemed logical that Wu Lian and Zhang Ronger went to the church and got married. At the beginning, Wu Lian was very nice to Zhang Rong'er, and he followed the etiquette of a son-in-law when he returned home. But he was very repelled by Zhang Rong'er's physical contact, even a little disgusted. Wu Lian suddenly mentioned that he wanted to recruit disciples and asked Zhang Ronger to go and recruit them in person. Zhang Ronger didn't notice anything was wrong, and because she felt guilty about Wu Lian, she followed his instructions and recruited many young women.

Seeing these girls coming in happily, Wu Lian asked Grandma Chen to prepare a large piece of embroidered cloth and planned to embroider a picture of falling plum blossoms. But after many years of embroidery, he felt more and more that the plum blossom painting had become stingy. So, he planned to use the entire embroidery building to embroider a misty rain embroidery that would be praised by the world.
