Chapter 103 Shopkeeper Peng’s reminder
The next day, Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing returned to the county seat.

Now that Da Niu's grandma has recovered from her illness, she realizes that she doesn't need Da Niu to serve her all day long, so she drives Da Niu and Zhou Ran to the county seat together.

But Zhou Ran did not agree and asked Da Niu to stay at home to take care of her grandma. As for the embroidery skills, Da Niu can also practice at home. At worst, she will go back to the village every once in a while to see if there is anything that needs improvement. She will teach Da Niu how to improve. That's it.

Or if a big girl encounters a place that she doesn’t understand or doesn’t know how to do, she can take Uncle Liu’s bullock cart to go to the county town to find her.

Da Niu was very grateful for this. Although she also wanted to learn embroidery with Zhou Ran and serve Zhou Ran, she really couldn't worry about her grandma.

As soon as Zhou Ran returned to the county town, shopkeeper Peng came to her door.

This was the first time Shopkeeper Peng came to Zhou Ran's home, and it was Zhao Wu who opened the door for her.

Shopkeeper Peng was stunned when he saw Zhao Wu's face.

Zhao Wu had seen many people who looked strange at him because of the injuries on his face. He did not take Shopkeeper Peng's stunned look seriously. Instead, he welcomed Shopkeeper Peng into the courtyard with a normal expression, and then went to invite Zhou. Ran out.

Zhou Ran smiled when she saw Shopkeeper Peng and said, "Shopkeeper Peng, why do you have time to come to Humble House today?"

Shopkeeper Peng had put away his strange expression at this time and said with a smile: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came to see Madam Zhou today because I have something to trouble Madam Zhou."

Zhou Ran had already guessed what Shopkeeper Peng wanted to do, but she still smiled and said, "You're welcome, Shopkeeper Peng. Just tell me if you have anything."

Shopkeeper Peng said with a smile: "The double-sided heterochromatic embroidery of "Cat Playing with Mantis" that Madam Zhou helped our boss to embroider was bought some time ago. Our boss would like to ask Madam Zhou to help embroider another one. .”

Although Zhou Ran has recently sent several pieces of embroidery to Linglong Embroidery Workshop, except for one double-sided embroidery, most of them are single-sided embroidery. Although those single-sided embroidery pieces are also rare treasures, but It's still a bit worse than double-sided embroidery with different colors.

Zhou Ran nodded in agreement.

Later, Shopkeeper Peng told Zhou Ran about the embroiderers, "The owner of the embroiderers that Madam Zhou wants to teach apprentices has already been selected for Madam Zhou. They are all embroiderers who are willing to go to other places. If Madam Zhou has time, she can Go meet them, and if anyone is dissatisfied, I will replace them."

"Okay, then I'll go see them tomorrow."

After the two got down to business, they chatted for a while. Shopkeeper Peng also mentioned that in the past few days, many maids from ladies and ladies in the county had gone to their Linglong Embroidery Workshop to inquire about double-sided and different-color embroidery.

Zhou Ran smiled: "I see that the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop have almost mastered double-sided embroidery. After a while, I will try to teach them double-sided embroidery with different colors. If any of them can learn it, then Shopkeeper Peng You don’t have to worry about not selling enough double-sided embroidery in different colors.”

Shopkeeper Peng looked moved, "Ms. Zhou is really generous. I'd like to thank Mrs. Zhou on behalf of those embroiderers."

Double-sided embroidery and double-sided embroidery with different colors are not heirloom skills, but Zhou Ran is willing to teach others. This is not something ordinary people can do, this is something only saints can do.

Zhou Ran shook her head and said, "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Peng. My mind is not as broad as Shopkeeper Peng thinks."

If there is no system, she may be willing to teach women's embroidery to women of this era, but she may not selflessly teach double-sided embroidery and double-sided heterochromatic embroidery to everyone.

Shopkeeper Peng felt that Zhou Ran was being modest, so he complimented Zhou Ran a few more times.

Zhou Ran saw this and did not explain any more.

Shopkeeper Peng came to Zhou Ran, mainly to ask for embroidery products and to tell Zhou Ran what the embroidery lady had chosen. By the way, he talked to Zhou Ran to see if Zhou Ran could embroider a few more double-sided different-color embroidery pieces for their embroidery workshop. .

Now that the matter was finished, shopkeeper Peng stopped staying any longer, chatted with Zhou Ran for a few words, and stood up to leave. But after standing up, shopkeeper Peng thought of Zhao Wu whom he had just seen, so he asked Zhou Ran more: "Who opened the door for me just now?"

"That's a long-term worker hired by our family."

After hearing this, shopkeeper Peng kindly told Zhou Ran, "This person was with the third young master of the Pu family before, but later I heard that he committed something and was betrayed by the third young master of the Pu family."

"Although this person has nothing to do with the Pu family since he has been sold, the third young master of the Pu family is narrow-minded. If he knows that this person is working around you, I don't know if he will cause trouble for you."

"If possible, Madam Zhou would be better off sending this person away."

Shopkeeper Peng has a good memory. Although he only met Zhao Wu once two years ago next to Mr. Pu San, he has not forgotten Zhao Wu's appearance.

Zhou Ran frowned slightly and said, "Is the Pu family so overbearing?" People who have sold it are not allowed to be bought back by others.
Shopkeeper Peng said: "The Pu family is a local snake after all, and Wuzhi County has nothing to do with them."

Zhou Ran nodded: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Peng, I will pay attention to it."

Shopkeeper Peng heard Zhou Ran's words and didn't intend to send Zhao Wu away, so he didn't persuade him any more.

After seeing off Shopkeeper Peng, Zhou Ran went to the study and told Ye Ximing what Shopkeeper Peng had just said.

Ye Ximing didn't have any big reaction after hearing this. He had already known about the Pu family's shamelessness and tyranny. Zhao Wu was very capable when he came out of the Pu family alive.

However, Ye Ximing had never told anyone these things, and naturally he would not tell Zhou Ran either.

Ye Ximing coaxed Zhou Ran for a while as usual. When Zhou Ran left the study with a smile on his face, Ye Ximing's eyes showed a hint of gloom.

Although Zhou Ran agreed to Shopkeeper Peng, the painting of flowers and birds in her hand only had a little bit of finishing left, so she did not rush to embroider the double-sided embroidery that Shopkeeper Peng asked for, but first embroidered the painting of flowers and birds in her hand. The picture was embroidered.

Of course, before the flowers and birds were embroidered, she first went to Linglong Embroidery Workshop to meet the embroiderer chosen by shopkeeper Peng.

This time, Zhou Ran and Shopkeeper Peng asked for ten embroiderers. These ten embroiderers were all experienced embroiderers who had been in Linglong Embroidery Workshop for a long time.

After talking to each of them, Zhou Ran directly kept all ten of them.

Within two days of Zhou Ran meeting these embroiderers, Gou Sheng came back.

He has bought a yard in Linwei County next to Nanxing County according to the scale of Liuguang Pavilion here in Nanxing County, and has also spread the idea of ​​recruiting embroidery apprentices for free. Now he is waiting for the old embroidery ladies to teach the apprentices. .

After Gou Sheng and Zhou Ran reported these things, they asked with some anticipation: "Madam, will you be there when the apprentices sign up?"

Zhou Ran thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll go take a look."

Linwei County is not far from Nanxing County. If you take a carriage, you can get there in less than half a day. If she goes there and stays there for a day, she can come back in three days at most.

However, Ye Ximing was still a little reluctant when he heard Zhou Ran say that he was going to Linwei County, and finally followed Zhou Ran to Linwei County.
