Chapter 98 Xu Xiu Niang

Zhou Ran sat in the room with a bronze mirror and looked left and right. After looking for a long time, she made sure that her lips were only slightly red and that no one would notice the difference if she applied some lip balm. Then she packed up and held the banknotes. Went to Liuguang Pavilion.

When she arrived at Liuguang Pavilion, Zhou Ran first went to see how the embroiderers were studying, and then went to find Gou Sheng. After meeting Gou Sheng, before she could take out the banknotes, Gou Sheng gave her a wad of silver. ticket.

Zhou Ran roughly counted and found that there were almost four thousand five hundred taels.

"Where did you get so many banknotes?" Zhou Ran asked in surprise.

Gou Sheng said: "Linglong Embroidery Studio has been asking for more embroidery products recently, and Linglong Embroidery Studio has almost accepted all the embroidery products in our warehouse."

"Have you given everything to those embroiderers?" Zhou Ran asked.

When recruiting these embroiderer apprentices, Zhou Ran signed a contract with these embroiderers based on Ye Ximing's previous suggestions. While they were learning embroidery at Liuguang Pavilion, Liuguang Pavilion would help them sell the qualified embroidery they embroidered. , they took seven of the silver from the sale and three from Liuguang Pavilion.

Gou Sheng said: "This time, almost every one of the twenty embroiderers from Linglong Pavilion embroidered a qualified double-sided embroidery screen."

The price of a double-sided embroidery screen varies according to the size, but the cheapest double-sided embroidery screen among them was sold for 500 taels, and larger ones were sold for over a thousand taels.

From these twenty embroiderers alone, they received nearly four thousand taels of silver.

Zhou Ran nodded, which was not surprising, but she didn't have those banknotes, and she also gave the two banknotes she brought to Gou Sheng.

"You take the money first. I'm going to open a few more Liuguang Pavilions in the surrounding counties. See if there is anyone around you who can replace you. Hand over the things in your hands to him, and then go to the surrounding counties for me. Check out several counties to find a suitable house.”

There has been no progress in the system's task of teaching women to embroider. Zhou Ran thought it might be because she only opened one Liuguang Pavilion and there were still a few people who could teach it. It would be better to open a few more and do it at the same time to see the effect.

Gou Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "Is it okay for a woman?"

Zhou Ranle said: "Of course." Her original intention of opening Liuguang Pavilion was to help women of this era, so how could she refuse women to take charge of affairs.

Gou Sheng hesitated for a while and then said: "I think Xu Xiu Niang is more suitable to take over these things in my hands, but Xu Xiu Niang is from Linglong Embroidery Workshop..."

Xu Embroidery Lady is one of the embroidery ladies sent by Linglong Embroidery Workshop to teach the embroiderer apprentices how to learn embroidery. Her embroidery skills are average, but she respects rules but is flexible and has a sense of responsibility. Gou Sheng feels that compared to teaching those embroiderer apprentices, She is more suitable for managing Liuguang Pavilion.

Zhou Ran thought for a moment and said, "Please help me find Xu Xiu Niang, and I will meet her."

"it is good."

After a while, Gou Sheng came in with Xu Xiu Niang.

Zhou Ran smiled and asked Xu Xiu Niang to sit down opposite her, and then asked in a casual manner: "How many years has Xu Xiu Niang been an embroiderer?"

Xu Xiu Niang recalled for a while and replied: "I started learning embroidery when I was twelve years old. I am thirty-two years old this year, almost twenty years ago."

"So how are your eyes now?" Zhou Ran asked.

Xu Xiu Niang shook her head, "It's not as good as before. Now you have to get closer to see clearly when doing embroidery work. In the future, you may not be able to do embroidery work all day long like before. Speaking of which, the five of us are very grateful to Madam for letting us come to Liuguang Pavilion. Teach everyone embroidery.”

All five of them have more or less eye problems, and they can no longer do embroidery for a long time.

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Then if I say that I want you to manage Liuguang Pavilion in Nanxing County for me in the future, would you be willing?" Xu Xiu Niang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in disbelief: "Madam... …this……"

After being incoherent for a long time, Xu Xiu Niang finally said what she was thinking: "Thank you, Madam, for your concern. I will definitely not let Madam down."

Zhou Ran nodded: "I believe you, but there is one thing I want to ask first. How long will it take for the contract you signed with Linglong Embroidery Workshop to expire?"

Xu Xiu Niang calmed down after hearing this. She almost forgot that she was still a member of Linglong Embroidery Workshop.

"Linglong Embroidery Workshop and I signed a one-time contract for ten years, but now less than seven years have passed, and there are still three years left."

Zhou Ran saw Xu Xiu Niang's dejected expression and smiled and said to her, "Don't worry, just leave the contract you signed with Linglong Embroidery Workshop to me to resolve."

Zhou Ran believed that Qian’s boss was willing to sell him to save face.

It just so happened that she could talk to them again and see if there were any embroidery girls in their embroidery workshop who were suitable to teach those embroidery apprentices, so that no one would be able to teach those people embroidery when the Liuguang Pavilion in several surrounding counties opened.

After coming out of Liuguang Pavilion, Zhou Ran originally planned to go to Linglong Embroidery Workshop, but she met Wu Xiangling who came to see her with his maid.

"Xiang Ling, why are you here?"

Wu Xiangling looked a little disappointed. After hearing Zhou Ran's words, she forced a smile and said, "I came to talk to you."

"Then go to my house?"

Wu Xiangling shook his head and said: "There is a new teahouse opened on the street in front. It is not far from here. It looks quite elegant. Let's go there and have a seat."

"also."

After entering the teahouse, Wu Xiangling asked for a private room, tea and snacks, then sat in front of the table and rested his chin in a daze.

Zhou Ran shook her head and asked, "Xiang Ling, did something happen to you?"

Wu Xiangling came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Ran and said, "I just went to the yard where the old gentleman and the others lived before."

After chatting with Zhou Ran last time, Wu Xiangling no longer looked for reasons to go to Mr. Fei and his friends. She thought that her affection for Fei Nanxing would fade over time, but in the past few days, her father and her mother got together. When she mentioned marriage, all she could think of was Fei Nanxing.

She fought with her heart at home for several days, but still couldn't suppress her inner thoughts, so she took the maid outside the courtyard where Mr. Fei and the others lived before.

After standing outside the yard for a while, she saw a young girl walking out of the yard. Her heart sank at that time, thinking that the girl was someone from Fei Nanxing.

But when she struck up a conversation with the girl, she realized that Mr. Fei and the others had already moved away.

"Aran, do you think he and I are destined to have no fate?" Wu Xiangling asked.

Zhou Ran didn't know how to persuade Wu Xiangling, so he could only comfort her and said: "Xiang Ling, be more open-minded. Maybe you will meet someone better than him in the future."

Is there really someone better? Wu Xiangling shook her head. Maybe there would be someone better than him in the world, but in her heart he was the best.
