Chapter 190: Embroidery Shop
Li and a few children walked out with freshly beaten jewelry and freshly cut clothes, their faces beaming with joy. Li, who has always been peaceful and only knows how to work hard, began to go out and walk, walking in the village often has someone to point out, Chen Xiucai just came to be not dead when no one has a letter, this will see him hand over letters to the house every three or five times, the Hun family and children are wearing new clothes and new jewelry, Li also often goes to the town in and out of the silver building, passing around, all know that Chen Xiucai is not only not dead but also made a fortune outside.
Life is getting better, and people who didn't have any friendships in the past began to come to the house to make friends. After this experience, Li can see clearly which people are worth dating and which people can only get by.
Jing Hao embroidered a dress for Magu's birthday to the embroidery workshop in Xuzhou Mansion last time, and it happened to be seen by the owner, and he praised it with a stack of praises, asking for fifty taels of silver a year to sign a contract for Jing Hao. Wen Ying was not at ease, so she asked her own man, Zheng Huozi, to inquire about it in person in Xuzhou Mansion. Zheng Huozi has been in business for a long time, and he has developed the ability to explore people, and he went to the embroidery workshop in Xuzhou Mansion several times, cut two catties of pig's head meat, burned it rotten and crispy, and sold two catties of good bamboo leaf green wine, and brought it in to invite a guy from his hometown to eat.
Princess Peng paid tribute to her birthday this month, and the three major embroidery workshops in Xuzhou Mansion made great efforts to offer birthday gifts, which can not only show off at the birthday banquet, but more importantly, decide which embroidery workshop can win the business of Peng Wangfu next year. If you can win the business of Peng Wangfu, other big families will follow suit and rush to the door, and the silver will flow into your pockets like water, and no one will be red-eyed.
Jing Hao a pair of skillfully embroidered Magu birthday worship, with Sichuan Ruan Yanluo, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, looks at it from a distance, like smoke. But such a light and thin soft smoke Luo on the clouds and shadows, the fairy spirit is sufficient, there seems to be a rainbow of light from the burst out, the rainbow light in the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou stepped on the auspicious clouds, followed by Magu to offer longevity, followed by countless fairy goddesses riding cranes, holding fairy peaches, respecting a hundred flowers, sparse and dense. It's like walking down from a painting to celebrate your birthday. This Magu pays homage to her birthday. Quiet and easy to use double-sided embroidery, one side is the front of Magu, and the other side is the silhouette of Magu. Ruan Yanluo is light and soft. The use of light creates a natural three-dimensional effect, and the subtleties are particularly meticulous, even the fluff on the face is delicate.
The garment shook open. Princess Peng asked the maid to wait on the spot.
The Bai family's embroidered immortal pavilion was in the limelight on the birthday of Princess Peng, and a large amount of business was naturally included in the bag.
The Bai family is not a cold person. He has always been known for his generosity, and the concubine rewarded him with a jade ruyi, a string of red coral, and fifty taels of silver. Five horses of fine silk were sent to Zheng Huozi by the shopkeeper, indicating that they were given to Jing Hao.
There are many embroiderers in the fairy embroidery pavilion, and each has heirloom skills. But it seems that there are not many people who can embroider on both sides, and even if they can embroider on both sides, the craftsmanship of embroiderers is also good and inferior. The Bai family deliberately wanted Jing Hao to sign a living deed. Twenty taels of silver a year is a lot, and the top embroidery girl in Xuzhou Mansion is only fifteen taels of silver a year.
Along with the deed of life came a business for summer clothes. Fifty taels of silver, if it is simpler, is equivalent to living in a family of three in the countryside for 20 years. That Magu paid tribute to her birthday, embroidered quietly for two months, embroidered day and night, her eyes were swollen, Xue Ru was by her side to help split the thread, and her hands were grinding out a thin layer of cocoons. The clothes look good, but if the embroidered into the clothes on the Magu birthday picture how painstaking and laborious, a little careless, it will ruin the embroidery picture, ten fingers do not know how many times to be poked by the needle, ten fingers even the heart hurts, it is easy to embroider, in a short period of time quietly do not want to embroider.
Jing Hao got the silver and gave it to the Li family, and the Li family waved his hand again and again. Previously, Chen Xiucai was outside, and the bits and pieces that Jing Hao earned added a lot of things to the house, but now that the house is relaxed, it is too damaging to let Jing Hao make up for it.
As soon as Zheng Huozi told the Chen family the news he had obtained, and Qingyu also came, everyone was surprised. The clothes of Mai and longevity, the Bai family embroidery workshop only said that it was embroidered for a very rich lady, but I didn't expect it to be the golden and precious Princess Peng.
Chen Xuejiao suddenly thought of a layer and asked Zheng Huozi: "Uncle can I find out, does Princess Peng know that the dress was embroidered by Sister Jinghao." ”
Qingyu glanced at Xue Jiao appreciatively, and suddenly thought of the lottery that she went to the temple to worship in the temple on the first day of the new year, and drew it quietly.
Xue Jiao looked at Zheng Huozi with clear eyes, if Princess Peng knew that the clothes were embroidered by Sister Jinghao, it was very likely that she would go to King Peng's Mansion to become her personal embroiderer. With a quiet and good appearance, it is difficult to stand on the cusp of the storm without thinking of being outstanding. She was anxious, although the cow did not drink water and pressed her head strongly, but what kind of place is Peng Wangfu, it is a place where even the imperial court is afraid of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, not to mention getting a quiet good house, even if Princess Peng moves the idea of the maid next to the queen mother, the queen mother has to think about it, not to mention a powerless little peasant girl.
Zheng Huozi knew the powerful relationship inside, and he also had such thoughts, and the overseas Chinese went to King Peng's mansion to wander around, and asked the concierge about the birthday of Princess Peng, and it happened that the cousin of the concierge was on an errand in the concubine's room, and the second-class maid was in charge of clothes and jewelry. Turning around the corner and inquiring, the dress worn by Princess Peng won the first prize, but she only knew that it was embroidered by the embroidery lady of the embroidery fairy pavilion, as for the embroidery girl's surname and what the concubine did not ask, and the embroidered fairy pavilion did not mention it.
"That embroidered immortal pavilion didn't say that Jing Hao, if it was the Bai family's kindness, it was better to say that they were afraid that others would rob the money, in case Jing Hao's reputation spread, they could wait for their Baba to sign a live deed on twenty taels of silver a year." Zheng Huozi was clear about the twists and turns here.
Jing Hao listened to this, and looked at Xue Jiao and Qingyu, she was a girl's family, and she only embroidered some handkerchiefs and wiped her forehead to earn pocket money, and she didn't want to be famous because of this. As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, her double-sided embroidery or Wen embroidery taught her, Wen Xiu was learned from Liu, like this close to the lost embroidery method, are the precious wealth of the family, light yì is not revealed. If her embroidery method is passed on, it will not be good in the eyes of those who have bad ideas.
"Cousin, think about it, your embroidery work is so good, the Embroidery Immortal Pavilion will not reveal your craftsmanship, you are the golden phoenix in their eyes." Xue Jiao seemed to be comforting and jokingly pushed Jing for a good time.
Li and Wen Ying don't understand the trick, they are still happy, such a reward is the first in the entire Xuzhou Mansion. It's just that Li Shi thought about it for a while, and didn't want Jing Hao to embroider the Embroidery Immortal Pavilion, she didn't think it was young yet, and when she waited until the future, she would be like those old embroidery girls who had accumulated years, and her eyes were also dazzled and her neck was lowered.
In this way, Li entrusted Zheng Huozi to the embroidery fairy fang politely refused the request of twenty taels of silver a year, the shopkeeper of the embroidery fairy fang sighed a pity, the concubine's birthday to congratulate the gift are all powerful noblewomen, including many relatives and relatives of the emperor in the capital, the embroidered clothes of the Magu birthday in the birthday brilliant, will naturally fall into the eyes of the noble lady, these days have received many large family clothing requirements, just Dingyin received a thousand taels. The shopkeeper revealed the news to the owner, and the owner gritted his teeth and sent two letters of one hundred taels of silver, but Jing Hao still declined politely, the Bai family is not such a mean family, except for shaking his head and sighing, it is a pity to put it down. The Bai family is sincere, and it is not easy to do too much, and he promised to embroider one or two large pieces for the embroidery fairy workshop in the next year.
Xue Jiaoti yì, Jing Hao embroidery work is so good, if you open a shop in the future, invite a few embroidery girls, just Jing Hao to give a few pointers, and do not do large business, only do the business in the boudoir is enough.
Wen Ying followed Zheng Huozi, and has done a lot of business since she got married, selling wine, selling snacks on the street, selling cooked vegetables along the street, working hard for a few years and saving a sum of money to open a shop, selling small groceries such as needlework, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and immediately applauded Xue Jiao's idea.
There is no need to rent a new house, first invite a few embroidery girls to test the water, and send them to take home to do, which not only earns money but also does not delay the work at home.
Please embroider girl, first of all, you must be decent, and you can't have such crooked thoughts. Xue Jiao's idea is to invite those lonely widows who have no children and daughters, as well as women who have been divorced and divorced by their husbands, perhaps with the memories of their previous lives, she always has compassion for lonely women, and she will feel kinship when she sees a helpless woman in this life. In the same village, there is a woman who is divorced from her husband's family, there are no children and no daughters around, her mother's sister-in-law is scathing, she walks in front of Xuejiao in ragged clothes with a face full of vegetables, and once she raised her head, the sadness in her eyes made Xuejiao frightened.
Xue Jiao said this idea, and Xue Ru and Jing Hao also helped. Since beating Chen Xiucai and not dying, Li Shi has become more and more convinced of the theory of cause and effect, and without waiting for the three children to finish, he nodded one after another.
Li took out the silver, and his sister-in-law Chen Wenying and the two people invested money to purchase silk thread and needlework, she can't do business, but Wenying is an expert, both the money raised by the aunt and sister-in-law, and the embroidery work sold also has a share of the Li family. Because of the quiet single-tube drawing, she is also counted as a share. Qingyu got the news and sent ten taels of silver, saying that it was to help Jinghao buy shares.
The embroidery work was sold in Wenying's shop, she contributed both money and strength, and Li told her that a note of money would be divided into four parts, Wenying would take two shares, Li would only take one share, and the remaining one would be Jinghao.
As soon as the Li family doesn't care about everything, she will let Xue Jiao take care of her business. Xue Jiao touched the silver in her hand, and she could no longer imagine that the Li family was so transparent and willing to do business.
Chen Xuejiao opened the red lacquer box of Li's wedding, put the silver in rows, and thought in her heart that if the embroidery opened up the market, she would rent a shop to specialize in the embroidery business. Jing Hao's father can't succeed, although the stepmother is good, but she can't stand out for her in everything, the Chen family is just her maternal uncle's family, and the reason is that she can't control what happens after she gets married. If she gets married in the future, she will use the embroidery shop as a dowry, and there will be a lot of income every year, and she has silver in her hand, even if she does not have the support of her mother's family, she will not be bullied in her mother-in-law's house.
