Chapter 86 Letter from Boss Qian

The day after Zhou Ran returned to the county town, Shopkeeper Peng found Liuguang Pavilion.

Zhou Ran had just finished teaching the embroidery ladies in Linglong Pavilion. Like Da Niu and Ye Xiaomei, Zhou Ran was now teaching double-sided embroidery to these embroidery ladies.

Zhou Ran was a little surprised when she saw Shopkeeper Peng, "Shopkeeper Peng, why are you here?"

"I came here specifically to see Madam Zhou." Shopkeeper Peng took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "This is the letter from the boss to Madam Zhou. Madam Zhou, please take a look at it first."

Zhou Ran took the letter and opened it. Before she could read the contents of the letter, the system's mechanical sound rang.

[Short-term task: Agree to Qian’s family’s request and embroider double-sided heterochromatic embroidery for Mrs. Anyuanhou, HP +90 (limited to eighty days)]

Now, Zhou Ran knew the content of the letter without having to read it anymore, but she still slowly read the letter from beginning to end.

In the letter from Qian Dong's family, he wrote that the prefect liked the gift that the prefect sent to the emperor and the empress. The empress liked it very much and specially ordered it to be placed in her palace. Mrs. Anyuanhou saw the double-faced look in the empress' palace. The embroidery is very stunning.

After leaving the palace, I made many inquiries and found out that the double-sided embroidery with different colors was a wedding gift given to the emperor and the queen by the prefect of Yongxing Prefecture. After that, the person came to the prefect of Yongxing Prefecture, and the prefect found Qian Dong's family.

Boss Qian was excited and nervous, so he quickly sent a letter to Zhou Ran.

After Zhou Ran read the letter, she smiled and said to Shopkeeper Peng: "I won't reply to Boss Qian's family. Please tell Boss Peng to tell Boss Qian that in three months I will embroider the screen requested by Mrs. Anyuanhou." .”

"Okay, I will convey it to my boss. Thank you Madam Zhou. This is the hard-earned money our boss has prepared for Madam Zhou. Madam Zhou, please accept it."

Shopkeeper Peng said as he pushed a wooden box in front of Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran looked at the familiar wooden box, nodded calmly and put it away, then looked at Shopkeeper Peng who seemed to have something to say, and said with a smile: "We have cooperated for such a long time, and we can be considered friends. If Shopkeeper Peng has anything else, please let me know." Just tell me."

Shopkeeper Peng laughed when he heard this, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask Madam Zhou, how are the twenty embroiderers sent by our embroidery workshop doing now?"

The Qian family has amazing mobility. In the past few months, Linglong Pavilion has prepared several branches in the south. Now they are waiting for a batch of outstanding embroidery products to be opened.

Zhou Ran knew the progress of the twenty embroiderers very well. When shopkeeper Peng asked, she said, "I just taught them double-sided embroidery some time ago. Now there are eleven people who have learned it. Among these eleven people are Fang Xiu Niang, Liu Xiu Niang and Lu Xiuniang is the best among the three."

Shopkeeper Peng was overjoyed when he heard this. Madam Zhou even taught these embroiderers double-sided embroidery, which he did not expect.

"Then can their embroidery be sold to the embroidery workshop?" Shopkeeper Peng asked, and then added: "Ms. Zhou, don't worry, the boss has explained that during their studies in the embroidery workshop, they will be the same as other embroidery apprentices. Thirty percent of the proceeds from the embroidery sales will be given to Liuguang Pavilion."

Zhou Ran said with a smile: "Of course, if there is any embroidery that Shopkeeper Peng likes, Shopkeeper Peng can take it."

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhou." After thanking Mrs. Peng, he continued: "Besides, I have one more thing to trouble Mrs. Zhou."

"What's going on?" Zhou Ran asked.

"Can Mrs. Zhou, after finishing the double-sided heterochromatic embroidery for Mrs. Anyuanhou, embroider a double-sided heterochromatic embroidery for our Linglong Pavilion as soon as possible?" Linglong Pavilion needs a double-sided heterochromatic embroidery for the town. shop. Zhou Ran said cheerfully: "Of course there is no problem."

After talking about what needed to be discussed, Zhou Ran took Shopkeeper Peng to find Gou Sheng.

Zhou Ran handed over the management of Liuguang Pavilion to Gou Sheng. Apart from teaching the embroidery skills to the embroiderers, she hardly took care of the affairs of Liuguang Pavilion. During this period, the embroiderers practiced and embroidered the finished products, and the qualified ones were naturally handed over to Gou. The victory is won.

After meeting Gou Sheng, Zhou Ran introduced them to each other, briefly explained the matter, and then she walked away.

After returning home, Zhou Ran opened the wooden box, which still contained two thousand taels. Zhou Ran put the banknote into the system with satisfaction. It must be said that Qian's boss was very generous in giving money.

After collecting the money, Zhou Ran began to think about the embroidery she wanted to give to Mrs. Anyuanhou.

The letter from Qian Dong's family said that Mrs. Anyuan Hou had no requirements for what she embroidered, as long as it was double-sided and different-colored embroidery, but she was still a Mrs. Hou after all, and they were the only people who could not be offended by ordinary people. Zhou Ran would definitely want it. Act with caution.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Ran had an idea before Ye Ximing came back.

After Ye Ximing came back, Zhou Ran told him about the embroidery screen for Mrs. Anyuanhou, and then asked Ye Ximing: "I am going to embroider a magnolia screen for Mrs. Anyuanhou, do you think it's okay?" "

After hearing this, Ye Ximing nodded and said: "Magnolia is very good. Magnolia is of high quality. It has a tough image in the minds of the world's literati and writers, and it also has auspicious meanings. It is very suitable to be embroidered on the embroidery for Mrs. Anyuanhou."

Hearing what Ye Ximing said, Zhou Ran felt relieved and started embroidering the magnolia flower the next day.

Compared with the previous "Luan and Phoenix", the embroidery of this "Magnolia" is relatively simple, and it took Zhou Ran less than two months to complete it.

Viewed from the front, a white magnolia tree sticks out three or five branches diagonally. White and slightly green flowers bloom on the branches. Two brightly colored birds sit on the branches and nestle together.

From the reverse side, the white and slightly green magnolia has turned into a purple and white magnolia. In addition, the color of the feathers of the two birds has also changed.

After finishing this "Magnolia" double-sided embroidery with different colors, Zhou Ran did not send it to Shopkeeper Peng immediately. Instead, she embroidered another double-sided different-color embroidery requested by Shopkeeper Peng.

Because this double-sided embroidery in different colors was for Linglong Embroidery Studio, Zhou Ran didn't have to think too much. She only had to embroider what she wanted, so she embroidered the "Cat Playing with Mantis" that she had wanted to embroider before.

Su embroidery’s most classic double-sided heterochromatic embroidery is the double-sided heterochromatic cat. Everyone knows that Su embroidery is good at embroidering cats, but true embroidery experts know that it is not easy to embroider cats. If you want to embroider a cat’s expression, , posture, hair and silk, the embroiderer must be very careful.

Only by paying great attention to every detail can we embroider a lifelike cat.

However, the screen of "Cat Playing with Mantis" that Zhou Ran embroidered was much smaller than the "Magnolia" that she had previously embroidered for Mrs. Anyuanhou, so it only took her less than half a month to embroider it.

At this time, it was already November, and the wind was blowing on people with a biting chill. Zhou Ran went to Linglong Pavilion with two pieces of embroidery.

Shopkeeper Peng saw Zhou Ran coming in and greeted her with bright eyes, "Ms. Zhou, you're here."
