Chapter 80: The Great Fire of the Good Embroidery Workshop
Since that incident happened, Wang Yuncai and Jin Shanqiao have settled down a lot, of course, Jin Shanqiao has to hold a grudge from time to time, and Wang Yuncai has endured it because of the loss and seeing that she is pregnant.
Jin Xin estimated that the two of them would not make a big fuss for a while, so she devoted her attention to the matter of the Liang Embroidery Workshop, and at present, her biggest task was to make the dress that Hanyue would wear during the Oiran Competition.
Although it is not the first time to cut clothes, but this time it is different, this is a major event related to the resurgence of their good embroidery workshop, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, so it is more attentive than ever.
Busyness is indispensable, Jin Xin took a lot of effort to persuade the old lady to give her a relaxing time to go out, and those who went out early and returned late were almost planted in the good embroidery workshop.
On this day, she stayed in the embroidery workshop for almost the whole day, and when she returned home, the night was already dark.
She sat down at the table for dinner.
Zhang's mother watched from the side, and muttered: "Miss, you have lost a lot of weight during this time, is it so important what embroidery workshop is?" How bad is it to bury your head in this way and burn down your body? ”
Zhang's mother has to talk about this almost every day these days, Jin Xin has long been used to it, listening to the words, just smiled faintly, and didn't give any reaction.
Soon, after dinner, she sat under the lamp again, and began to design the next competition of clothes samples, although she is smart, but more than focused, once she does something, she really does it seriously, and forgets everything else, especially in the creation of such things, but also has a continuous enthusiasm, and is never tired of it.
As time passed, one after another of the rice paper was thrown to the ground, but the things drawn on it were different, some similar, but with their own prominent places.
In this way, I painted until late at night.
Ziqin came in with a supper, saw that she was still painting at the desk, and walked over: "Miss, it's late at night, eat something and rest early." Anyway, it's still early for the next competition, so take your time. ”
Jin Xin didn't raise his head and said, "It's early, but it's not early." The first competition begins, and then, each competition is only three days apart, how can there be a lot of abundance like now, and I would rather be tired now than be in a hurry at that time. ”
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, she put the pen on the inkstone on the side, picked up the sample she had just drawn and looked at it, and said, "It's done!" ”
Ziqin leaned over to look, her eyes blinked, and she immediately smiled in surprise: "It's so elegant, there is a feeling of flowing water." ”
"When the time comes, the color selection will mainly be dark, with some white."
Ziqin nodded: "Then do you want to see Jinniang tomorrow?" ”
"That's for sure. But first go to Hanyue and see what she thinks. ”
Ziqin hummed and brought the sweet soup over: "Okay, Miss, can you have supper now?" ”
Jin Xin took it, ate, sat down for a while, and fell asleep.
* In the silence of the night, when the streets and alleys were asleep, a little spark swayed in the night, and soon the fire was gathered, and the surging fire suddenly lit up the whole night sky, shaking, like a hideous beast, wanton and insolent.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! The embroidery workshop is on fire! ”
A shrill shout slipped through the streets and alleys in the silence of the night, and then one after another, the sound of gongs was heard, and the doors were opened, and one after another people came out, and when they saw the huge fire in front of them, they all froze, but soon some people began to run, fetching water to help put out the fire.
The originally quiet street, in a short period of time, is crowded with people and lively!
* Early the next morning, Jin Xin heard the news that the Liang Embroidery Workshop was on fire last night, and he didn't even have time to dress up in men's clothes, so he hurriedly took Ziqin to the Liang Embroidery Workshop in a sedan chair.
When I arrived at the place, I saw only the ruined scene after being burned by fire, and I could only vaguely see the original outline of the good embroidery workshop from the remaining pillars and beams.
Ziqin was shocked and speechless in the back: "This ...... This...... This...... How to ......"
Jin Xin was also stunned, but quickly calmed down, turned around and asked Ziqin, "Are you okay?" ”
Jin Xin had already inquired with the people nearby, and responded: "Fortunately, I escaped in time, except for some minor injuries, there are no other problems." At this time, Jin Niang took everyone to live in the inn. ”
Jin Xin immediately said: "Go to the inn." ”
When he arrived at the inn, as soon as he entered, Jin Xin saw that the three tables in the corner of the inn hall were full of people, it was none other than Jinniang.
A few people were still eating breakfast, but their faces were not very good, and they looked very tired.
When Jin Niang saw Jin Xin coming, she hurriedly stood up, her face was a little moved, she looked at Jin Xin coming over, and she was about to kneel.
Jin Xin's eyes quickly helped: "Jin Niang, what are you doing!" ”
"Fifth Miss, it's me who didn't keep the good embroidery workshop, I can't stand you!"
"What's right to live with? The most important thing is that people are okay! ”
Jin Xin helped Jin Niang get up and said, "Besides, it's just that the place has been burned, which doesn't mean that the good embroidery workshop is gone." What a big deal! ”
She said lightly, but Jin Niang understood very well in her heart, this time the matter was very strict, and it was nothing that the good embroidery workshop was burned, but it was extremely difficult to rebuild a good embroidery workshop, first of all, the capital was a big problem, she didn't believe it, Jin Xin could get that money, not to mention, even if there was money, if you want to build it, it would take a lot of time, and I don't know what other problems will arise during the period, who knows if you can survive in the end?
Thinking of this, Jin Niang couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly, feeling a little unwilling.
Jin Xin looked at Jin Niang's unwilling appearance and asked, "It's artificial, right?" ”
In fact, on the way over, Jin Xin thought about it, how could it be a fire in a good way?
She never believed it was a mere accident.
Jin Niang nodded: "Moreover, I can also imagine who did it." ”
"I heard that something similar happened in the Liang Embroidery Workshop before?"
"Hmm. It was also a fire in the middle of the night, and my hand was injured at that time. ”
Jin Niang said, her hands with black silk gloves were gently intertwined, and her brows were slightly locked: "I didn't expect that after so many years, he would do it again!" I said why he's been so quiet lately, and that's it. It's also my negligence, if I had thought of it and prevented it, maybe I would have ......"
"It's useless to report to the officer, right?"
Jin Xin asked.
Jin Niang glanced at Jin Xin and sighed.
"Okay."
Jin Xin said, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this time, I saw a person running in hurriedly from the outside, and just arrived at the counter to ask the shopkeeper, his eyes swept to this side, and he walked straight to this side.
"Ruyi!"
The person who came was Huang Xing.
He walked over quickly, opened his mouth and asked.
The amount is a little small today.
Everyone's forgiveness.
Tomorrow will be more during the day.
I guess I can add more.
