Chapter 134: Embroidery Assignment
61_61522 Gui Yuxia said: "You don't have to worry about this. The mansion of the deputy city lord is very big, but she is the only master, she doesn't even have a husband or children, can there be no place to put clothes? A hundred times more clothes also have a place to put it. This is still the clothes we ordered here, and you haven't seen her order jewelry in the jewelry workshop? That's the real big deal. ”
Gui Jinxia and Gui Yuxia were staggering.
Gui Yuxia said: "Although we have a better relationship with the deputy city lord, I was rewarded by the emperor to the county lord after all. Although later, I became an official and came out to run my own workshop, but I was still a servant of the county lord, and the county lord has been my master all my life. This time, the county wants to get married, how can I not go with it? I'm going to go to the county lord's mansion tomorrow and ask the county lord. At home, you have to work hard, do business well, make more money, cause less trouble, and my children, if the big cow can't be busy, you should also take care of it more. ”
Speaking of this, Gui Yuxia choked up a little, and felt uncomfortable when she thought of parting, but the righteousness was there, and she couldn't go.
Old Man Gui was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to follow the city lord back to the capital alone?" When will I be back? ”
Gui Jinxia was also taken aback and asked: "Our workshop has just started, and when the eldest sister leaves, we don't have the backbone, what should we do?" ”
Gui Yuxia said: "Can you go, not necessarily?" I'll first ask the county lord for his opinion. However, I think that the county lord needs a lot of dowry, clothes, embroidery, etc., which you can't imagine, and it also needs high-quality products, and the county lord himself will not embroider it himself. Of course, those of us who needle and thread embroidered it. That's where we come in. Also, wait until the county lord gets married. Large families are different from small families like us, and the county lord is used to being the master of the house. When I arrived at the Zhao family, it was the Zhongyi Mansion, and the county horse was not the eldest son, but the second son, I don't know what will happen to this mother-in-law? If some of us don't give the county lord a helping hand, will we be in trouble? It was the county lord who saved him. When the county lord is in trouble, we just watch? ”
Da Niu hurriedly said: "If it weren't for the county lord, I might not be able to stand up for the rest of my life." Probably already dead. You may be alone in the palace for the rest of your life. Where can we live a good life like now, with children in pairs, living in a big house, and living with fine clothes and food? This man cannot be ungrateful. There you go. When the county lord has a foothold, or the county lord and the county horse return to Qingchun City together, won't we be reunited again? This year or two. It's not anything. Don't worry, I'll take care of the kids. In our house, the nurse and the maid. A lot of little guys, the children are here, uncle. Auntie, aunt has it. There is also a grandfather, and my grandmother is here, so I can't be wronged. ”
Gui Yuxia looked at Da Niu gratefully and smiled.
Gui Laohan thought about it and said: "Our family was originally a poor farmer who couldn't even eat enough. Now every family lives in a big house, and there are maids waiting for them, and when they go out to take a carriage, they will be clothed and fed when they enter the door. The children are literate, and when they are sick, they are shown by doctors. The family can't eat enough food, and the fields are more than the land of the rich man's house in the village, and they also have their own shops and workshops. This is a lot of money, and it's all thanks to the favor of the city lord. Now it's time to use Yuxia, Yuxia, you can go back with you. We'll take care of your home. Da Niu is also a proper person, and he will not wronged your children. You have to be careful. This is a major event in the life of the city lord. ”
Gui Yuxia nodded vigorously.
Gui Jinxia thought about it, gritted her teeth and said: "Although I don't know much about the affairs of big families, I have had more contact with the merchants of Dachu in the past few years, and I know a little bit about the private things in those mansions." The marriage of the city lord is indeed not to stand, it is when people are needed, although I am not the servant of the city lord, but I am also willing to serve. My eldest sister often complimented me on my needlework. I can walk away at home. As for the workshop, just leave it to the little sister, and the little sister is just busier. ”
Gui Yuxia is very strange, she looks selfish, and Gui Jinxia, who has a lot of eyes, also has such loyalty, which is really rare.
Gui Yuxia said: "It's good if you have this heart, tomorrow, I will go into the City Lord's Mansion and ask." Although the county lord is not at home, these trivial matters are handed over to the county lord's current personal maid, Miss Shuilian. I'll ask Miss Water Lotus. ”
Everyone nodded.
The next day, Gui Yuxia changed into a purple satin dress, her hair was meticulously combed, a hairpin with red gold inlaid with southern pearls, some small snacks made by her own family, and a few bottles of essence from the big cow's workshop, as well as a few sweat towels embroidered in her workshop, and went to the city lord's mansion.
After a few doors, she was taken directly by the maid to the flower hall where Shuilian dealt with the affairs of the house, Gui Yuxia arrived like a little maid and gave her a small purse, which contained a few pieces of scattered silver paper, about a hundred big coins.
The maid also arrived, served Gui Yuxia a cup of tea, and walked out.
Shuilian smiled and said, "Deputy Director Gui, are you here?" How can I be free today? I'm too busy here to entertain you. ”
Gui Yuxia looked at a crowd of people in the flower hall, and knew that Shuilian was very busy now, and it was not easy to see her in the flower hall. She didn't dare to hold it up, so she hurriedly said: "I know that Miss Shuilian is busy, you can be busy with yours, I will sit here for a while." ”
Shui Lian smiled and said, "I'll talk about this later, but you came by coincidence, I was about to send someone to find you." You're here, but you're saving me trouble. ”
After speaking, he turned back to the servant women who were waiting to be shown, and the steward said, "I have something to discuss with Deputy Director Gui, so you can go to the small hall next door and wait for a while." ”
Where those people dare not follow, they all passed quickly. The remaining water lotus said to Gui Yuxia: "I have a list for you here, which our girl will bring back to Dachu as a dowry in the future." It is the clothes of the four seasons, and there are some purses, sweat towels, handkerchiefs, etc. I gave those small jobs to the other two embroidery workshops, and the clothes of the four seasons are a big head, and I thought that your sisters' craftsmanship was the best, so I gave them to you. How much should it be, you take it back and estimate it, I will go back to the treasury and get it for you, we don't want to get the set of deposits, let's pay the full amount first. You have to call the best embroiderer to do it, and you can't be careless. If you agree, sign a contract, I will give you all the clothes and silver paper, and you can go back and pick someone for me to do, this work must be done quickly and well. You probably know that the girl is going to leave at the beginning of spring, and these things have to be done before the beginning of spring. Otherwise, we won't be able to pack boxes. ”
Gui Yuxia hurriedly said, "Thank you, Miss Shuilian." It's our honor to work for the county lord, where can we ask for money? We don't want a penny, we must pick the best embroidery to do, I have a few apprentices who are particularly good at craftsmanship, I take them to do it myself. Although our workshop is our three sisters, we have taken it down. However, this is not the county lord's at all? It is natural to make clothes for the county lord, where can I ask for money? ”
Shuilian said: "You can do whatever you want, you just have to do the job well." Money is not a problem for us, and if you don't take it, we won't be able to give it to you. Also, you can only let your sisters and apprentices do it, as for you and the embroidery girls in the seven palaces who left the palace together, they have to return to the city lord's mansion, and they are full of energy, and they quietly embroider wedding dresses for the girls in the city lord's mansion. ”
Now Gui Yuxia understood why, Shui Lian asked everyone to go out and wait. The rules of this Da Chu, when a girl marries, she embroiders the wedding dress by herself. However, following Chen Wenhui for so many years, Gui Yuxia understands that Chen Wenhui may be the most capable and smartest girl in Dachu, and a big city is well managed. But in terms of female popularity, it is really not as good as a three-year-old child, and it is really difficult to let Chen Wenhui embroider the dowry by herself. However, this is nothing in the capital, the girls of the big families are all golden branches and jade leaves, where can they embroider their own dowry? However, at least the hippas on the head are embroidered by themselves.
The rest, clothes and the like are all commissioned by the embroidery workshop, but the wedding dress, such an important thing, and some small clothes and the like, shoes, socks, knee pants and the like are all embroidered by their own maids. also quietly embroidered behind people's backs, and claimed to the outside world that they embroidered themselves.
It seems that the county lord is also doing this, and these maids who want to come to the county lord's side must also have good embroidery work, but you see that Shuilian is busy, where is this idle time, it is naturally better for the eight people to do it at the beginning. First, I can concentrate on it, and secondly, these eight people are the best embroiderers in Qingchun City, and they can even be said to be the best embroiderers in the entire Dachu.
Every girl's family attaches great importance to such an important thing as a wedding dress, and it is of course the best to have herself and seven people from the palace embroider together. It is conceivable that in the future, the wedding dress of the county lord will definitely make the girls in the capital envious to death.
Gui Yuxia hurriedly said: "I have no problem, this is great." I'm trying to help the county lord. Now we are the owners of the eight embroidery workshops, our relatives have become rich, and we ourselves are living a good life, and it is time to contribute to the county lord. I'll be here tomorrow. ”
The water lotus was overjoyed and said, "I know that you are a faithful man." You can't be idle today. You go back and talk to your sisters first, and you will all come to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow. It's not that you can't go home, you can go home at night after doing a day's work every day. Now that the eight of you are married, you all have husbands and children, so naturally you want to go home, but fortunately, you all live close to each other, and it is not difficult to come and go every day. Also, you look at the list first, can you all follow, if not, help me recommend a few embroidery workshops, so that everyone can get out of the work quickly. (To be continued).
