550 taels? The price given this time is not low. Wrong, it’s not about money, but it’s also about money. There must always be a source of income on the surface.

Gu Wenxuan was not present at this moment, but if he were, as soon as Shopkeeper Hu said these words, he would know that he was doomed!

His wife hesitated, hesitated, and was moved.

"Auntie promises you that after I finish this embroidery, I will find you a small double-sided embroidery in the future. The price is low and labor is tight. I won't help you pick it up, okay?"

Zhou Banxia hesitated for a moment: "Okay, you've said so, and I can't even explain it if you don't answer."

Shopkeeper Hu was waiting for these words, and quickly took out his wallet, took out the banknote and handed it over, "I won't give you the deposit this time, I'll give it all to you."

"No, it's still the same old rules." Zhou Banxia picked up a 50-tael banknote. Although he was reluctant to part with the larger one and couldn't take it with him, he still refused to look at it!

"Your aunt and I are the rules. I am still afraid that you will run away. Take it quickly!" If you give me enough money now, you will definitely work harder and you will be able to embroider more fine products in the future!

"You are not afraid that I will run away, but you are worried that I am short of money."

Too cruel.

You can even open her little hands and give her money!

Zhou Banxia looked at the banknote that shopkeeper Hu took in her palm, thinking that she could make money based on her ability and get a good result.

Ok.

No regrets.

Let’s finalize the drawing.

Now that the base fabric is ready, the embroidery equipment must also be ready. Zhou Banxia asked funnyly, "Go to the West Room?"

"Please." Shopkeeper Hu stretched out his hand and smiled. He quickly led the way and said with a smile, "When it comes to your drawings, even your master is ashamed of you."

hold!
Praise again!

Zhou Banxia shook his head slowly, "I want to go with Liu Lang to pay homage to her tomorrow morning. We will be leaving early the day after tomorrow. I would like to ask Aunt Mei to help me prepare."

Shopkeeper Hu was startled when he heard this, but was not surprised when he reacted. Since this child came to Fucheng, he naturally wanted to pay homage to his old sister. There is nothing surprising about it.

It's just that the young couple has not been married for a hundred days, and they are married women. The people who are worshiping are not the husband's elders, so they definitely can't go to the grave to worship the old sister this time.

Not to mention that she, as an aunt, cannot allow her child to lose etiquette. Even if my elder sister has a spirit in heaven, she will definitely not allow her child to take her husband to worship with her tomorrow morning!
"We'll wait until next time to go. These days are not suitable. Mr. Gao was appointed Minister of Civil Affairs half a month ago, and road construction started there. Even the road at the foot of the mountain has not been completed yet."

Minister of the Ministry of Officials?

No wonder.

This can easily explain why the third lady wanted her to go back to her house, and why Mrs. Qian didn't want her to go to the Qian house, for fear of exposing her association with her.

In this case, it would be even worse to go to the grave to pay homage.

There are so many people and so many eyes. It’s good that the Gao family’s ancestral graves can leave some space for the servants. Should we go to the Gao family’s ancestral graves to kneel down and kowtow?
Only when you are crazy can you do it.

Once she showed up there, some villains arranged for her to regret leaving the house, and now she was so busy that she even spared the dead.

"Besides, your master doesn't value common etiquette, otherwise she wouldn't have remarried without having children." At this point, Shopkeeper Hu changed the subject.

It happened that the two of them also walked to the painting desk.

For a moment, Zhou Banxia couldn't bring himself to change the topic. He thought about going to the intersection to burn some paper money before going out. He followed Shopkeeper Hu's words and picked a brush from the pen holder to start drawing.

The manuscript is also called the pattern, which is a must-do before embroidering. Generally speaking, the embroiderer will copy the pattern from the original drawing, or draw it based on her impression. Therefore, the embroiderer not only looks at the embroidery skills, but also the painting skills.

She knew how good Xiao Banxia was when she first inherited her memory, so it was not surprising that Mrs. Qian was optimistic about her embroidery skills.

Due to time constraints, the patterns Zhou Banxia draws now are not patterns that can be directly used when embroidering, as long as the needle is moved and the colors are matched, but are small samples drawn on the base fabric.

This sample is for Shopkeeper Hu to check and see if there are any areas that need modification. If there is no, then this final draft will prevail. Before she goes home and starts work, she will enlarge it in proportion and directly put the draft on the base cloth.

However, as expected, shopkeeper Hu will basically not suggest any changes that need to be made to any of the prototypes she has drawn since she was 12 years old.

"It seems that you haven't been idle since you got back, and your painting is getting better and better." Shopkeeper Hu couldn't help but feel that, "I thought you were focusing on getting rid of the knot at home."

Thank you for the compliment!

Zhou Banxia chuckled, "I'll look at the thread first."

If you don't check the embroidery thread, you will be in big trouble if you open it when you return to the village and find something wrong. Good embroidery thread may not be found in the county.

Ruyifang is different.

As one of the top embroidery workshops in Fucheng, its reputation and strength cannot be underestimated. Not only the base fabric, but also the embroidery threads were sourced from several famous silk thread workshops in Jiangnan.

"Aunt Mei, I have to ask you to help me match the thread for the knot. When I'm done with this, let's settle the bill. Let's not talk about it now. I'll look at the thread first."

"Okay. Look, I'll give you whatever I'm missing right now." Shopkeeper Hu was eager to see Zhou Banxia finally start to work with a pout and a stern face.

It had been some time since she had been in the backyard, and she wanted to go to the front to explain something.

After saying that, he quietly exited the west room, pointed to the little maid waiting outside the door, and signaled that she was ready.

Then he hurried to the front to explain the trivial matters in the shop, and made a list so that the shop assistants must prepare the materials for the upper strips for Zhou Banxia before tonight.

Arrangements were made vigorously and resolutely, and it was almost the time of application. Shopkeeper Hu asked Xiao Liuzi to go to Yipin Pavilion to book a private room, and then go to Yuelai Inn to wait for Gu Wenxuan.

If Gu Wenxuan arrives first and she and Zhou Banxia haven't arrived yet, ask Xiao Liuzi to let the shopkeeper of Yipinge serve the food first, and then ask the waiter of Yipinge to run over here.

Over there, Gu Wenxuan went to Zhuangzi where the Shunyi Escort Bureau was located early in the morning. Yun Mingcheng did not lead the team to Jingu, but the second convoy from Qingyang County had arrived.

Yun Mingcheng was obviously much more relaxed when escort leader Zhang from the escort team joined him.

Gu Wenxuan was held back by him and couldn't leave for a while. At noon, he was almost drunk and couldn't return to the inn.

But it was not without gain. I heard a lot of gossip and rumors, and saw the fat and fair Butler Zhao from before coming to Zhuangzi to talk to Yun Mingcheng about bringing in seafood.

Entering the city in the afternoon, thinking that her jewelry was still missing from Zhou Banxia's list last night, Gu Wenxuan, who came in from the east gate, went to the nearby Silver Building.

Coincidentally, it was the Qian Family Silver Building that he came to yesterday but was too late to enter.

He picked out a set of silver jewelry with relatively exquisite workmanship, ordered an agarwood bracelet, and spent all the money he had on him in no time.

I avoided Ruyifang and walked around the surrounding shops, which gave me a deeper understanding of the current market. However, as I walked around, it was getting late.

Considering that even if Zhou Banxia went to Ruyifang for lunch, the sun was almost setting by now, so he should be in an inn, so Gu Wenxuan stopped wandering around.

As a result, he had just walked to the front of the inn, and before he even stepped into the lobby, he saw Xiao Liuzi from Ruyifang running out and calling him Master.

Scary.

Fortunately, he didn't come to report that something had happened to his wife.
