I hate to press gold thread every year to make wedding clothes for others.

I dare to boast in front of others that I have a pair of skillful embroidery hands; but I don't put on my eyebrows and compete with others to win and be beautiful. What I hate the most is working hard at embroidery year after year, just for others, rushing to make dowry clothes.
