Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 103 Approaching
After they had lunch, Su Wanru picked out the material of the spring shirt and was cutting it. Zhou Xian called her out, "Director Liu is here."

"Well, here we come." She put the scissors on and opened the door, and said with a smile, "Did he come alone, or did he come with a family?"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "You guessed right, you brought your two sons with you."

"That's it." Su Wanru walked briskly, the family must not have come to reject them.

Zhou Xian had no idea, "This manager Liu is the most stingy, what if he blackmails people and asks for prices later?"

The two of them said that they had already passed Ruyi Gate. Su Wanru saw Mr. Liu entered the door, and she said: "There are currently thirty embroiderers in his embroidery workshop, and they are relatively good families. He is the first This one is pretty good, and if he has settled his account clearly, it will be much easier for people to come later."

In fact, she just estimated in her heart how to calculate this account, and she was afraid that she would have to grind her mouth later, so she couldn't help saying to Zhou Xian: "Remember to pour tea for me later, what I said these two days Too much, sore throat."

"Okay, you will promise you whatever you say now." Zhou Xian smiled, "To be honest, I really admire you. None of us would have thought of doing this."

Su Wanru smiled and raised her brows triumphantly, "Don't say these things are useless, if you want to admire me, you can express it with practical actions."

"What?" Zhou Xian looked at her warily, Su Wanru hugged her and said with a smile: "My good sister, wash my jacket when I do the laundry later, the water is too cold."

Zhou Xian hurriedly pushed her away, took a sip, "That's a good idea."

The two laughed and went to Aunt Huo's yard. Director Liu saw her stand up with her two sons, and said with a smile, "Aunt Su."

"Hello, Aunt Su." His two sons, one in their thirties and the other in their early twenties, were going to salute, but when they saw a little girl with two braids and a childish face, Immediately he was at a loss in embarrassment, whether the bent waist was straight or bent.

"Master Liu." Su Wanru nodded, and then greeted his two sons, "Please sit down. My aunt and I are going out, we won't go out when you come."

Manager Liu chuckled, and replied: "Yes, we came here based on time." But he thought in his heart, this little girl is not very old, but she is really a piece of business material, and she can grasp it as soon as she comes up with a few words To break the situation, let them wait gratefully for her to speak.

On this point, he is convinced.

Su Wanru found a pen and paper, and she was not too polite, "Headmaster Liu came here because he has made up his mind to cooperate with us. In the future, we will be our own people, and we will be in touch for many years, so don't be polite. If you have any conditions, you can do it." , we should do what we think is appropriate. Of course, you can’t open too high. You see, our shop is so big now that we can’t be generous. Otherwise, I’ll give you as much as you open, and you can count as a friend. Make a good impression."

Mr. Liu took a sip of his tea, and could only nod his head. He exchanged a glance with his two sons, and said, "I just want to ask, what percentage of the shares are you planning to give us?"

"Before I say this, I'll do the math for you!" Su Wanru turned over the paper in her hand, and drew a form with a charcoal pencil, "Two months ago there were nine people in Baoying Embroidery Workshop, and then my aunt voted for 3000 two tricks." People build houses, hold tea parties, and with today's situation, the value of Baoying Embroidery Workshop is nearly ten times higher!"

Director Liu smacked his mouth.

She summed up and estimated the orders in her hand and the future collection, as well as the goods of these customers in the coming year, and the orders that may be received in a year, and knocked on the table, "Mr. Fang, what do you think compared with our Baoying?"

Manager Liu already knew that the important point was that Su Wanru would at most give him [-]% of the interest, but...but he had no choice.

He and his two sons looked at each other, and the two sons couldn't make a difference if they got a [-]% profit.

"Master Liu!" Su Wanru put down her pen, looked at Aunt Huo, and the gestures of the two of them passed by, she said with a smile: "I will give you [-]% of the profit at most, if there is more, there is no other way." .”

Director Liu was overjoyed, just now she thought Su Wanru would only give them [-]% with Su Wanru's temperament, but she didn't expect that she would give them [-]% as soon as she opened her mouth, it was such a pleasant surprise.

Although he had discussed [-]% at home before coming here, but just after what Su Wanru said just now, he thought it was [-]%... Now that everything is up and down, he thinks that [-]% is very good.

"Okay!" Master Liu nodded and asked, "How much money will you give us at one time?" He asked the owner of Tian'an Embroidery Workshop before he came, and they took 400 taels, so their embroidery workshop should at least have this amount.

Su Wanru didn't count this time, and said bluntly: "We gave Tian'an Embroidery Workshop 400 taels, and your size is almost the same as theirs. But I can't give you 400 taels!"

"Why." Mr. Liu frowned, and Su Wanru replied, "You asked Tian'an Embroidery Workshop before you came, and you know the price of 400 taels. If I give you this price too, I will give you a [-]% bonus for a hundred years, Help me think about it, will Tian'an Embroidery Shop come to my door tomorrow."

"They're all from the village, I have no reason to bully them." Su Wanru said, "The bonus is long-lasting, Mr. Liu, you can't just look at the 200 taels less!"

Manager Liu was angry, but he felt that what she said was reasonable. He took 200% of the profit. If it is [-] taels a year, how much will it be worth in a few years?He and his two sons looked at each other and said, "Let's discuss it again."

With that said, the father and son went out again.

"Father, what we thought about at home, why did it all change as soon as we came here?" His eldest son was at a loss, "We haven't said anything yet, and we haven't said a single price."

The second child sighed, waved his hands, and said, "Come on, we're the first ones here today. This is to be a signpost for someone. Look, there won't be anyone who comes later than us."

"What the second brother said makes sense." Director Liu also realized, "This Aunt Su is very difficult, and we are now caught by her. She said there are two paths, but in fact it is one path."

The father and son were silent for a while, and Manager Liu made a decision, "Last year, the total interest we got was only more than 100 taels. I also sold an unknown number of old faces. Now that there is no embroidery workshop, let's take these The money can be used for other transactions, and it’s easy for everyone to get rid of it.”

Now the embroidery workshop is too difficult to do, and now there is another Baoying embroidery workshop, if they leave in a hurry, I am afraid that in another month, Aunt Su will not even pay the price, and directly pry their embroiderer and swallow their embroidery square.

"Listen to my father." The boss nodded, "Cut the mess with a quick knife, so I'll bet on this one."

The father and son went back, negotiated the details with Su Wanru, and signed the contract. Su Wanru readily gave the money and asked their embroiderer to come to Baoying Embroidery Workshop tomorrow!
"Is this done?" Zhou Xian crawled in from the window inside, took the contract and looked left and right, crying and laughing: "It's done?"

Su Wanru nodded, "I've given you all the bank notes. If it doesn't work out, we should really cry."

"Su Jin, I'll wash your clothes." Zhou Xian smiled and wiped away her tears, "I'll wash your clothes for ten days."

Su Wanru couldn't help laughing...

"Su Jin." Aunt Huo held her hand, "I will take care of the family affairs from now on, and you will decide the external affairs and all major matters. Auntie trusts you."

Su Wanru hugged Aunt Huo and said with a smile, "No. You are in charge now, not aunt! I am aunt."

"Yes!" Aunt Huo also laughed, "Our youngest aunt."

Everyone laughed along.

As Su Wan expected, one hour after Director Liu left, the other five families came one after another. The price was not as high as that of Director Liu, and the profits were mostly [-]% or [-]%.

She didn't lower the price of others. According to the current situation, the price she gave is reasonable... It is impossible to give more. First, they don't have the strength. Second, she is not donating money for disaster relief, so there is no need Give more than a few dozen taels.

She won't do such a stupid thing even if she gives it.

An embroidery workshop with two hundred people!Zhou Xian fiddled with the abacus, "I'm going to urge the foreman to quickly build the house. Our Baoying Embroidery Workshop is now the largest embroidery workshop in Beijing."

"We had a good meal today." Aunt Huo smiled and said, "Let Lu Yi go and order a table and come back, and everyone have a good meal."

In the evening, everyone celebrated, opened six tables and set them up in the yard. It was even more lively than New Year's Eve!

Aunt Huo was very happy. After a few drinks, she became a little drunk. Su Wanru was also dazed and walked back to the backyard with Er Gouzi, "... How many bones did you eat today?"

Er Gouzi: "Wow!"

"Ate only two?" Su Wanru squinted her eyes, "Impossible, you only cheated three or four at my table, and you must have cheated several others at other tables too. Tell me, how many did you eat?"

Er Gouzi shook his head and tail, walking slowly.

"I'll touch my stomach." She squatted down and touched Er Gouzi's stomach, "It's not chubby, you...you can't hide your bones, right?"

Er Gouzi: "Wow!"

"Ha, you really hid it. Where did you hide it? I'll find it later and lose it." She was smiling, and Er Gouzi looked at her with an aggrieved expression. Looking at it with cheeks, "Dog, tell me whether your master is dead or alive at this moment."

"Woof!" Er Gouzi was dissatisfied, lying on the ground and ignoring her.

Su Wanru chuckled, and went back to her room to sleep.

At this time, Shen Zhan was standing on an endless barren field, squinting his eyes, and said to Min Wang: "The house is built here, and the soldiers are recruiting locally. We will post a notice tomorrow!"

"How to write the notice?" Min Wang asked.

Shen Zhan walked with his hands behind his back, paused, and said: "The first requirement is to be young and strong, and ask whether you have a household registration. This recruitment is different from killing the enemy in the field. They are going to be registered, and they will be here for generations from now on! "

"Yes!" Min Wang nodded, and Shen Zhan added: "As for the military pay, those who are called to serve in the army will be paid two shillings at a time, and the three acres of land will be reclaimed by themselves without paying taxes."

This land is actually the best condition. If you have land, you will not starve to death.

People live, sometimes just to fill their stomachs.

"Yes." Min Wang nodded one by one in his heart, Shen Zhan stopped, found a bamboo pole and tested the depth of the pond, "This water is running water, when the time comes, let the people who opened the ground dig a deep ditch and pour it into it. lead!"

Min Wang said, "Then there is no need to dig a well, and it saves a lot of money."

Shen Zhan gave him a white look, and he was in a good mood. Today, the location of the first guard has been confirmed, and the next step is to recruit soldiers and people to build houses.

On the contrary, this matter is simpler. As long as the notice is posted, there is no fear that there will be no young and strong people to apply.

There is no such good thing as having money and land.

"Shen Zhan!" Zhao Yiyu stood on the side of the path and shouted, "When are you leaving? The wind is too strong here, it's freezing to death."

Shen Zhan's knuckles rang, and this girl flicked her a few times on the road, and then rushed over again. The more he watched, the more impatient he became, he walked over and glanced at her, and said coldly: "Two ways, get out of here!" or die!"

"You dare to kill me?" Zhao Yiyu said angrily: "You have to think about the consequences of killing me, my father will not let you go."

With a bang, the knife was already on her neck. Shen Zhan squinted his eyes and said: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the land is vast and there are few people. Do you think that if I kill you, others can find out?" How, your life is worth my life."

"You..." Zhao Yiyu's complexion changed, she flinched a bit, and said, "How can you be a big man like this, you are still not a man."

Shen Zhan asked, "Death, or get lost?"

"I'm leaving!" Zhao Yiyu knew that if she didn't leave, Shen Zhan might really kill her, "Can't I go?"

Shen Zhan didn't say a word, put away the knife, got on his horse, and left without looking back.

"Reckless man, reckless man!" Zhao Yiyu kicked the clods of dirt on the ground angrily, but he was looking forward to, if such a man who is not humane and has no face for women, if one day he looks at her differently, what will happen? A scene?
A person like him is so brain-dead, he should be very pampered.

Zhao Yiyu couldn't help her heart beating like a drum, and her fighting spirit became more and more high-spirited.

Shen Zhan was extremely irritable, he didn't feel it when he was doing things or on the road, but when he stopped, he would think of Su Wanru, "I don't know what happened..." He said, counting the days to go back.

"Master, are you still going to the border?" Min Wang said: "Cao Enqing is retreating over there now, so we have to meet him. We are building a guard, and he is afraid he will jump up and down."

Shen Zhan sneered, "It doesn't matter how high he jumps, I want to build it, if he dares to say no, let him wrap his body in horse leather and fulfill his dream of being a hero."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it is built or not." Shen Zhan said, "Our soldiers are only a hundred or ten miles apart. If there is anything we can do in time."

Shen Zhan waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter about other places, this place must be built." Kaiping Guard can attack and retreat, and it is far away from the capital, which is more unique than other places.

Min Wang paused, as if he had vaguely guessed Shen Zhan's plan.

In fact, he could always sense Shen Zhan's plans. Building the guardhouse was not that simple, but there were some things that he couldn't talk about right now, because even their master couldn't control them.

This control is not in their hands.

Min Wang shook his head, feeling more and more that women are really difficult to figure out.

In Yanjing Jinxiu Workshop, Cui Zhangshi sat up angrily from the bed and said, "What did you say, say it again!"

"Today, they merged all six embroidery workshops in the capital." Huang Ying still hasn't regained her senses, "Auntie, there are only a few small embroidery workshops with three or five people left in the capital."

These few small ones can be almost ignored, because it will definitely return to Baoying Xiufang in a short time.

puff!
Cui Zhangshi's blood surged up, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the quilt. Huang Ying was startled, and hurried over to help her, "Director, how are you doing?" She shouted again, "Hurry up and invite the doctor." .”

"This evildoer, this evildoer!" Cui Zhangshi murmured. She thought that Baoying Embroidery Workshop had robbed the order, and at most it would outsource it to other embroidery workshops like Jinxiu Workshop. The embroidery workshop swallowed them all.

After that, there were only Baoying Embroidery Workshop and Jinxiu Workshop in the capital.

The situation where one family was the dominant one suddenly turned into two rivalries, and even Jinxiufang was not as good as Baoying Embroidery in the hands of people.

how so!
"Quick, pass the sign to Eunuch Pei." Chief Cui grabbed Huang Ying's hand, "Let Eunuch Pei figure out a way. I...we can't beat her."

After losing one after another, Cui Zhangshi knew that they would not be able to gain advantage by fighting them like this.

Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, Baoying Embroidery Workshop is that scoundrel.

"Master, please calm down first, things may turn around." Huang Ying persuaded: "She said that Prince Ning has a share, but King Ning can't take care of business matters. If Eunuch Pei steps in, Baoying Xiufang has to spit out as much as she eats. In the future, the higher she climbs, the harder she will fall."

"That's right. King Ning is noble, and he just returned to the court. It is impossible for him to break up with Mr. Pei for an embroidery workshop." Cui Zhangshi sneered, "but Mr. Pei is different, Jinxiu workshop is his source of income. Now that Baoying Embroidery Workshop has cut off Eunuch Pei's source of income, I don't believe that Eunuch Pei can swallow this bad breath."

"Yes. Take care of your body first, and we will have a long life in the future." Huang Ying said.

Director Cui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded.

Su Wanru had a good night's sleep. When she woke up the next morning, she saw Zhou Xian washing her clothes. She smiled and squatted in front of the basin, and said, "Sister Zhou, you just washed one. I still have several more." Woolen cloth."

"Bring it, bring it." Zhou Xian didn't look at her, with a look of disgust, "Since I promised to wash it for you, I won't go back on my word."

Su Wanru laughed and didn't bring any clothes, the two of them were talking in the yard, "...I didn't see Aunt Huo, she went to the front yard."

"It should be." Zhou Xian said, lowering her voice again, and said, "Every day in Maozheng, Lu Da will come to pick up Aunt Huo. It used to be Mama Liu, but now Mama Liu is too busy, so it will be Lu Da."

Suan Wanru was surprised, "It's time to start, why didn't I know."

"I didn't pay attention either." The two of them showed ambiguous expressions together as they talked, and they smiled and whispered together, Zhou Xian said: "Aunt Huo hasn't arrived in her [-]s, and the days are still long, Mr. Lu is fine too." , if it can be done..."

"Yes, yes!" Su Wanru was also very happy, "Get married early, maybe you can have children."

Zhou Xian blushed, took a sip, and said, "It's not embarrassing to say such nasty words at a young age."

"You also get married earlier, I might have a chance to be an aunt." Su Wanru said and jumped far away, calling Er Gouzi, "Let's go, have breakfast."

Zhou Xian threw the soap at her angrily, "You wait for me."

Su Wanru smiled and went to the front.

In the morning, I met all the embroiderers from the six families who came to Dianmao, explained the rules, and explained the money clearly, so I let them go back to do their work, and everyone will come back after the house is repaired.

After finishing her work, it was noon, and she was about to go back to her room to make clothes for Zhao Yan, when Mother Qiao came, "...Madam was thinking about it, saying that you haven't been home for a long time, and today I specially asked my servant to pick you up and sit at home. "

"Is Madam okay?" Su Wanru replied while tidying up her needle and thread. Mother Qiao was even happier seeing that she was really embroidering the quilt, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, but it's a good thing. Madam has been happy these days." .”

"Really." Su Wanru also showed surprise, she held Qiao's mother's hand, and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see Madam."

Qiao's mother talked with her intimately, and went to Qin'enbo's mansion by car.

Mrs. Xu was drinking tea in her room, and her complexion was obviously much better than last month. Su Wanru was also surprised, "Madam's face is full of joy, is there any happy event?"

"A Jin, come quickly." Xu pulled her to sit down, and said in a low voice, "I have two things to tell you."

Mother Qiao served tea herself, took a needle and thread and sat at the door to watch.

"You asked me to hold a banquet last time, and I did it according to your wishes. It was very successful." Mrs. Xu recounted the events of that day, "The ladies of the clan's mansion saw that I actually posted a post to them. Everyone was flattered, and I didn't need to make any effort at all, and the uncle came back the next day and told me excitedly, those people have begun to obey."

How can the identities of the people who work in the clan's mansion compare with Xu's, she can send a post to invite them in person, it is a bow to show favor to them, it is a great face.

If you don't give this face, it will be too dishonorable.

"Is Uncle very happy?" Su Wanru was also happy for Xu Shi, "Thank you."

Mrs. Xu covered her face and smiled, with bright eyes, said: "Uncle said, it's the first time I know that my own women are capable and can be good helpers." She joked half-truthfully, "Is that right?" What's the matter, I was heartbroken by him, and I just don't care about his mess."

"Yes, yes!" Su Wanru nodded, "Even if I'm not married, I still know the principle of a husband and wife being of the same mind. You are right about this."

Mrs. Xu was even happier, and said again: "Master Hou has finished this matter, and stayed in my room for dinner at night. He was full of righteous indignation and talked about Concubine Chen Shu..." He said again: "Concubine Chen Shu, you know, it belongs to the fifth prince. Birth mother."

Su Wanru knew and nodded, "What's wrong."

"In front of the Holy Majesty, she said that the prince had fewer heirs, and she brought out a niece from the family to be the prince's side concubine." Xu felt angry when she said this, "You say this is so absurd, why should she As the crown prince's side concubine, the empress's biological mother didn't say anything, but she just ate carrots and didn't worry about it."

"I just want to take revenge on the empress." Xu frowned and said, "If it is an ordinary sage, I am afraid that he will not respond, but that day, the sage was in a good mood. He heard that Prime Minister Zuo had a grandson in his family, so he deliberately asked someone to carry him into the palace. Take a look..."

"Prime Minister Zuo, you know. It's Xu San from Chang'an Mansion." Xu muttered, "The Empress is angry, and the uncle is also angry. He is trying to find a way to stop this matter."

Zhao Zhiang even opened his mouth, how to stop this matter?
"Where is the Crown Princess?" Su Wanru said, "Don't the Crown Princess make a fuss? There are so many side concubines here, and the attitude of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself must be put on display."

Mrs. Xu covered her face with a smile, then shook her head again, "The empress secretly let her make trouble the day before yesterday, but the sage said that women want three obediences and four virtues, so she dismissed the matter." Then, sighed, "The empress is Thinking of another way. No matter what, no one can let people enter the mansion. If they go in, they will be a troublemaker, and it will not be good."

Su Wanru deeply believed that if it was Concubine Chen Shu in her place, she would send her niece to the Prince's Mansion without cutting off all his heirs, then she would have done this in vain.

"You're smart, help me find a solution." Xu felt that Su Wanru must have a solution. If she solves this problem, Wu Zhongjun will respect her even more in the future. Not only Wu Zhongjun, but even the queen will have to Miss her well.

Su Wanru is really in a bit of a dilemma. It's not easy for Xu to handle this matter directly, so she can only rely on Wu's hands. She is a little embarrassed.

It's not impossible to find someone to ruin the girl's reputation, and even more ruthless to directly ruin the person, even Wu called her into the palace in the name of seeing her daughter-in-law, and accused her of stealing...

These methods must be easy for Wu Shi to implement, but she can't tell Xu Shi that this kind of insidious method... will make Xu Shi feel that she is too cruel.

Su Wanru groaned and coughed.

"Don't worry." Seeing that she also looked like she couldn't think of a way, Mrs. Xu comforted her, "You stay here for dinner and we'll think about it slowly."

If Su Wan should have said so, she really spent the whole afternoon with Xu Shi, and counting that Wu Zhongjun would be back soon, she whispered a few words to Xu Shi, Xu Shi's eyes lit up, and said: "Okay, I will come back tonight Just tell Uncle."

"Then I'm leaving, it's getting late." Su Wanru didn't want to meet Wu Zhongjun or Wu You at all, "If Madam has anything to do, come find me."

Mrs. Xu nodded, and said: "Okay, next time I will go to the embroidery workshop to find you. I haven't been to Baoying embroidery workshop yet."

"Madam, go and send a woman to tell us that we can clean it up so that you won't be left behind." Su Wanru said and went out, and Xu Shi muttered alone in the room, sorting out the matter before and after, When Wu Zhongjun came back around Haishi, he didn't go to the concubine's room like before, but came directly to the main courtyard.

"Uncle." Xu endured it again and again, and waited for Wu Zhongjun to wash up and the two of them lay down before she said, "I have a plan for the prince's side concubine, you can listen to it when you have time."

Wu Zhongjun hummed and said, "Speak, I'll listen."

"Isn't that girl on her way to Beijing? Tomorrow, you can send someone to pretend to pick her up, and lead her to stay at the Imperial Tomb for one night." Mrs. Xu said with a smile, and said, "When the time comes, Concubine Shu can just say I don't know."

Wu Zhongjun listened in a daze, and then he woke up with a jerk, and after a while he said: "You mean, throw people to the Fifth Prince?"

"Anyway, it's his cousin, isn't it just right to marry him?" Xu Shi said, "As long as you do it in a concealed way, even if Concubine Shu is sure that you did it, she will have nothing to do."

It's a bit difficult to do. Concubine Chen Shu will definitely send someone to pick her up, maybe she has already sent someone... But if you use your brain, it's not impossible.

Moreover, he was a little deeper than Xu thought.

It was agreed to be the prince's side concubine, but the empress did not object...but she turned her head and ran to see her cousin in the imperial mausoleum.

Isn't this making the prince uncomfortable and wearing a cuckold?

If the knowledge here is to be developed, it will be great.

"You're getting smarter now." Wu Zhongjun looked at Xu Shi differently, "Go to bed first, I'll go to the study to discuss with some of my staff."

Xu accompanied him to get up, and said: "Then you should rest early and pay attention to your body."

"Understood." Wu Zhongjun nodded, then remembered something, and said, "I think Marquis Deqing means that he wants to marry his only daughter to Zhao Zhongyuan, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xu immediately became happy, Wu Zhongjun came to talk to her now, discussed with her, she pondered for a while, and said: "It seems that Marquis Deqing is taking the lead in this matter, but I don't think Zhao Zhongyuan is very talkative. "I also thought of the relationship between Su Wanru and Zhao Yan, and felt that if Li Jun became the concubine, Su Wanru would have a hard time entering the mansion. She knew that Li Jun's temperament was not much better than her own daughter. "Marquis Deqing is quite supportive in the army. Being Zhao Zhongyuan's father-in-law, I'm afraid there will be troubles, and I feel it's inappropriate."

"You and I mean the same thing." Wu Zhongjun nodded, "I will go to the palace tomorrow to talk to my sister."

After saying that she got dressed and went out, she turned her head and told Xu Shi, "You should also go to bed earlier." After saying that, she left.

Mrs. Xu was so happy that she didn't sleep all night. They had been husband and wife for decades, and it was the first time Wu Zhongjun said such caring words to her.

Although there is no sincerity, it is enough.

After patiently waiting for the news from Wu Zhongjun for a day, when the news came out from the palace on the fourth day, she couldn't wait to find Su Wanru, "...It's done. The empress slapped Concubine Chen Shu in front of all the palaces this morning. , Said that her son's worn-out shoes were stuffed into the Prince's residence, this is messing up the rules and regulations, and messing up the blood, he will be punished."

Mrs. Wu is really powerful, such a small matter can pull out such a big flag to cause trouble, Su Wanru nodded secretly and sighed, "What does uncle say, how does he treat you?"

"Going home these two days, he told me about the clan's mansion." Xu Shi said, "He hasn't been hanging out with a woman in front of me for ten days in a row."

For Wu Zhongjun, it was a great concession and respect for not hanging around face to face. Su Wanru said with a smile: "Congratulations Madam, uncle respects you even more now."

"Yes." Mrs. Xu covered her face and smiled, her eyes bright and bright, "Thank you for all this, if you hadn't given me some advice, uncle and I wouldn't be in the situation we are today."

Su Wanru held Xu's hand, and said sincerely: "I am a embroiderer, and I am alone in the capital. It is my good fortune to be valued by you, madam." Send someone to speak, and I won't delay even a moment."

Mrs. Xu knew that making friends with Su Wanru in her capacity would be beneficial to Su Wanru if the news spread, "I will also give you more publicity so that everyone can come to Baoying Embroidery Workshop to order embroidery."

Su Wanru thanked her gratefully.

The two of them talked a lot, and Mrs. Xu saw Aunt Huo again before leaving the embroidery workshop and going home.

As soon as she left, Su Wanru went to the back of Du Zhou's courtyard. Duan Zhen and Song Qiao were waiting for her. The two saluted. Now he is Wu Zhongjun's regular follower, and he will be able to enter and leave the clan's mansion in the future."

"Okay!" Su Wanru's heart was pounding, "You can do things with peace of mind, and don't do anything unnecessary without my order. You are just an ordinary follower, do what you have to do."

Song Qiao didn't doubt it at all, and said, "Your subordinates should keep this in mind."

"Okay!" Su Wanru looked at Duan Zhen, "The Escort Bureau is open today, is there any visitor?"

Duan Zhen nodded, "One or two strokes. Ruyue Escort has a reputation in Shandong, I believe it won't take long to open the situation."

"That's good." Su Wanru breathed a long sigh of relief, Duan Zhen cupped her hands, and said, "The princess's embroidery workshop is also doing very well, and even us laymen are spreading rumors that Baoying embroidery workshop is very capable." My embroidered lady, it only took two months at such a young age to grow a little embroidered lady to be comparable to Jinxiu Workshop."

"I hope everything goes well for us!" Su Wanru said: "There are more things to do in the future, as long as we don't expose our identities, we can stand out. Only by establishing a foothold in Yanjing can we do anything." Stirring up the city with wind and rain!"

Duan Zhen and Song Qiao should be.

Su Wanru went back to her room humming a song, put away Zhao Yan's spring shirt, hesitated for a while, folded it, ironed it, took the bag and carried it out, Er Gouzi followed her silently when she saw her go out, She looked back at it, frowned and said, "What do you mean, what are you doing with me?"

"Woof!" Er Gouzi said.

Su Wanru stared at him, "Are you trying to follow? Your master taught you?"

"Woof!" Er Gouzi said.

Su Wanru snorted, turned around and continued walking, Er Gouzi followed, she glared at it angrily, but didn't chase it back, one person and one dog went to the street, and along the way, someone greeted her, "Aunt Su, you Going out to do errands with Er Gouzi?"

"Yes!" Su Wanru smiled and said, "Are you going home?"

The man said: "Yes, I bought something and went home to cook."

Su Wanru glanced at Er Gouzi proudly, and muttered, "Did you hear me, I'm Aunt Su now."

"Woof woof!" Er Gouzi said.

Su Wanru chuckled, and said, "You are not allowed to call me Aunt Su, you have to call me Master!"

"Woof!" Er Gouzi said.

Su Wanru ignored it, and walked towards Prince Ning's Mansion for a stroll. Just as she reached the street, a man riding a horse came in front of her. She gave way to the side, but the man stopped his horse and was looking at her.

"Lord Qiu." Qiu Rong was so recognizable that she recognized her at a glance. Qiu Rong sized her up and said, "Where is Miss Su going?"

Su Wanru pointed to Prince Ning's Mansion, "Come here." She subconsciously hid the bag backwards, it's fine for her to visit, if Shen Zhan knew that she was making clothes for Zhao Yan, he would tear her apart.

"Recently, the whole city is full of praises about you and Baoying Embroidery Workshop. I think you are very busy, but I don't want to have time to visit." Qiu Rong's tone made Su Wanru very annoying. She didn't hide it at all, and said coldly: " I'm really free, but it's none of your business."

As she spoke, she took Er Gouzi and turned into the alley.

"Miss Su!" Qiu Rong said coldly behind her: "Being a person must have a bottom line. I don't care what you want to do, but you have to be worthy of my starling."

Su Wanru gave Qiu Rong a blank look, and said: "You don't care if I'm sorry, as long as you can do it." This person is really busy.

The words went back, but she was still very angry in her heart, why did she feel sorry for Shen Zhan, it was Shen Zhan who was sorry for her, okay?

inexplicably.

Su Wanru stood in the alley and became more and more angry as she thought about it. She paused and pulled Er Gouzi and said, "What do you mean by this person? Am I going to guard Shen Zhan's wife De Lie now?"

"Woof!" Er Gouzi said.

Su Wanru shook her head, "Forget about my idleness with someone I don't know, I'll settle the score with your master when he comes back." As he spoke, he knocked on the side door of Prince Ning's Mansion, which was opened by a young man. Seeing Su Wanru, he immediately smiled Said: "Miss Su is here, please come in."

"Is your lord at home?" Su Wanru stepped into the door, the servant nodded and said: "The lord is at home, I will guide the girl."

Su Wanru thanked her and followed the servant to the study.

Zhao Yan was talking to Zha Rongsheng, "...So, she is not a family member of any official in the Later Song Dynasty?"

"I checked everything, and there is no such person as Su Jin. But her neighbors still insist that she has lived there since she was a child, and they can even find out that his parents are drug sellers." Zha Rongsheng felt unbelievable , "My lord, it looks like someone has followed her and wiped off many traces. This person is by no means a simple character, and we may not find anything if we check again."

Zhao Yan nodded slightly, and said: "It seems that the guess is correct, she should be from the court of the Later Song Dynasty."

"Then... what is Miss Su doing in the capital?" Zha Rongsheng's heart trembled, "Why did you get close to you? Could it be..."

Zhao Yan smiled bitterly, looked at Zha Rongsheng and said, "What's the use of thinking about it now?"

"My lord." Zha Rongsheng couldn't believe it, Zhao Yan waved his hand, "She is not a treacherous person, there must be something hard to say, let's wait a little longer, I believe she will tell me herself one day."

If he can help, he will definitely help.

"My lord, Miss Su from Baoying Embroidery Workshop is here." The servant shouted through the door. Zha Rongsheng took a look, went to open the door, and saw Su Wanru standing at the door smiling, "Miss Su is here." , please come in."

Su Wanru nodded and entered the door, saluted Zhao Yan, and handed him the bundle, "The clothes are ready, try it on."

"Okay." A smile overflowed from Zhao Yan's eyes. He unpacked the bag himself and shook off the clothes. It was a sky blue spring shirt with simple wave patterns embroidered with light green thread on the four sides of the corners. Simple and elegant, he liked it very much, and said, "I'll try."

"Okay." Su Wanru sat down on the chair, Zhao Yan went behind the screen to change, and came out after a while.

He has a fresh temperament, handsome facial features, and his sky blue color makes him look like an orchid and a jade tree. She looked at him and praised him sincerely: "The prince's clothes fit well."

"Thank you!" He straightened his collar, then stretched out his sleeves, like a child getting new clothes, his face beaming with joy, "It really fits well."

Su Wanru laughed.

Er Gouzi lay at the door, "Wow, woof!"

"Er Gouzi!" Su Wanru glared at it, "Why did I tell you when I came here, don't be rude."

Er Gouzi turned his face away to look elsewhere, "Wow!"

Su Wanru was helpless, looked at Zhao Yan and said, "If the lord has nothing to say, I will take my leave first."

"I heard that you merged six embroidery workshops in one go?" Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and sat down opposite her. "I didn't expect you to be so decisive in doing things. It's really surprising."

He was complimenting her, but Su Wanru said embarrassedly: "It's probably because I have better luck this year, and everything goes smoothly."

"Then I hope you continue to go smoothly like this." Zhao Yan said, and handed her a box, "Here, here you are."

Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and opened the box, a white jade hairpin lay flat on the red velvet cloth, she looked up at Zhao Yan, puzzled.

"Our prince personally picked a piece of jade to make it." Zha Rongsheng said: "It's just right for the girl's temperament."

It's a good piece of jade, it's a pity to make a hairpin. She closed the lid and said, "You see, I don't know how to comb my hair. I only have two braids all day long. There is really no place for this hairpin." In fact, Du Zhou can comb his hair. , but let him comb his hair with a man every day, it will inevitably make people think that he is not masculine.

Anyway, as long as the hair is not loose, it doesn't matter how it is combed.

"I'll help you tie your hair." He smiled and took the comb and walked behind her, "Do you remember that I told you that I learned some disguises from my uncle, and this combing is one of them."

Su Wanru was stunned, "This...isn't it good." She was about to wave her hand when Zhao Yan had already picked up her braids and unraveled them...

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my lord." Su Wanru sighed, facing Zhao Yan, sometimes she really didn't know how to say no to him.

People can't bear to refuse, is this one of his charms?

Zha Rongsheng looked at it with a smile, quietly took another jewelry box and put it aside, closed the door and went out.

Er Gouzi slipped in and lay down at Su Wanru's feet, the "dog" stared at Zhao Yan.
