Yin Hong and Feiguang looked at each other, and their own girl became more and more mysterious. Wen Hui looked at them like this and smiled: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's very simple. Isn't there an embroidery workshop here? The ready-made embroidery girl inside, we can buy it. Recruit a few more mothers-in-law who can needlework to make simple beautiful clothes. No, it's fine. If the business is good in the future, Sister Feiguang will accept a few more apprentices, and teach slowly, isn't it simple? Yin Hong and Feiguang thought about it. It's just that the ancients didn't have the idea of acquisition, so they couldn't think of it for a while. In fact, how can there be anything in the world that money can't do?

Chen Wenhui looked out the window and said to Feiguang: "Sister, don't think about it first, it's still serious to eat, green sprouts, go to the kitchen and bring food to Sister Feiguang." Sister Yinhong, you talk to Qiu Bi. Qiubi and I went to my mother's place to read the accounts for a long time, she didn't understand anything, you teach her. Let Cui Qiao and Bi Lian wait for me to change my clothes and prepare to rest. Tomorrow, Sister Feiguang, we will ask our mother to take us to Jingqiao Fang first. A room full of people hurriedly agreed.

The weather was very good the next day, and Chen Wenhui came to Bai early in the morning with Feiguang, grinding Bai's and going to the exquisite workshop that Wang Yaozhen said last time. Bai thought that he really wanted to add clothes to Chen Wenhui, and in addition, although the construction of the grange has cost money, there is also a lot of soybean oil every month, so the family has a lot of money left, and it is time to buy clothes and jewelry for his daughter. took Chen Wenhui with him. Chen Wenhui said that Feiguang and Qingshuang would follow, and Bai didn't think much about it, so he asked Qingshuang to tell Chen Caibei to get out of the car and go to Jingqiaofang.

After getting out of the car, Chen Wenhui looked up and saw a plaque with the three words of Jingqiaofang hanging in a large shop. This street frontage has two floors, the upper floor is for customers, and the lower floor is the workshop of embroidery girls.

Generally, the shop is the lower level of hospitality, the upper level of processing, because the embroidery workshop is eventful to do the business of women's dependents, so it is abnormal, the lower level of processing, the upper level of hospitality.

Feiguang looked carefully from the moment he entered the door, and counted about a dozen embroidery girls, ranging in age from their twenties to their forties. The embroidery girl is not easy to do, it hurts the eyes, it is okay to be forty years old, but it is not good to have big eyes at the age of one. So, the embroidery girl here is pretty good. Of course, it's all daughters-in-law.

Although the local atmosphere is open, it is not easy for unmarried girls to show their heads. These embroiderers are all dressed simply, there is no uniformity, and none of them wear ayara. It is "a person who is all over the world, not a silkworm farmer." It can be seen that the income of these embroiderers is not high.

Looking at it, a man in his thirties, with a beautiful appearance, a purple satin bottom embroidered with a blue finch on his head, a silver plum blossom comb obliquely inserted, and a green jade pendant on his ears, the color is average. He was wearing a purple satin jacket with pinched teeth, embroidered with a pattern of two butterflies wearing flowers, and a dark green skirt was worn on the lower body, just rolling a circle of silver thread, and the clothes were new, but the color was dark, but fortunately, the person's figure was slender, and he still wore a bit of charm.

I saw her smiling and hurriedly giving Bai's blessings: "It's really a distinguished guest, if the lady wants to make clothes, just call me to the house, then you have to come in person, you see that I am shallow and simple, and the hospitality is not good." As he spoke, he invited the group to go up to the second floor. Bai Shi said while going upstairs: "It's okay today, my girl heard the girl of the Wang family talk about you last time, so I want to come and see it." Bring me all the good things you have and show me. ”

Upstairs, Feiguang looked around, and the room was crowded with all of them. There were two large shelves in the room, one with various colors of silk and the other with several pieces of clothing, some with skirts.

When the owner heard this, he immediately went to the shelf and took two sets: "Qiao Niang, I'm afraid that the things here can't get into the girl's eyes." These two sets are the latest tricks in my shop. Both the lady and the girl looked at it. One is a green satin sprinkled sleeved robe with a garnet red silk skirt. One is a pink silk jacket with a green floral skirt. ”

Feiguang, Bai's, and Chen Wenhui all came over and looked at it. As soon as the lining was started, Feiguang felt that it was okay. It's all good material. Look carefully at the workmanship, the stitches are fine, and it is still good. Look at the embroidery of the clothes again, hey, it's miserable. A pair of large butterflies are embroidered on the green satin sprinkled sleeved robe. Originally, the embroidered butterflies on the bottom of the flowers were also suitable for the occasion, but the size of this butterfly was too large, and it was twice as large as the flowers.

The garnet red ayako skirt is very positive in color, but the snake is embroidered with a circle of flowers, which is too lively. The pink silk jacket looks quite tender and pleasant, but it has to be pinched. Originally, Ayako had an elegant and fluffy feeling, but now she pinched her teeth and rolled an embroidered edge, which was embroidered again. The green sprinkled skirt rolled three sides, each embroidered with large flowers. It's really lively.

Bai and Chen Wenhui also didn't like it. Bai is very self-contained, although he can't see it, he doesn't speak. Chen Wenhui came with a heart and pretended to be innocent: "Mother, you see that these flowers are so big, but they are very flat, why?" ”

The owner Qiao Niang smiled when she heard this, "Girl, how can the flowers still be flat, are they still full?" Chen Wenhui wanted this, nodded seriously when she heard this, pulled her skirt and said, "Of course there is, just look at the flowers on my skirt." Qiao Niang looked carefully when she heard this.

Chen Wenhui is wearing a lotus-colored satin skirt today, and only a circle of flowers as big as nails is embroidered on the corner of the skirt. Take a closer look, although the flowers are small, but each one is different, there are treasure flowers, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, pomegranate flowers, some are fully open, some are half-opened, and some are just hit with flower bones. And each flower is lifelike, as if it was carved, not like the flowers embroidered by yourself, they are all mediocre.

I can't help but reach out and touch it. I couldn't help but wonder when I started it, and asked, "Why does it look convex and concave, but it's flat to the touch?" Feiguang heard the words and knew that Qiao Niang saw that the trick was coming, and thought, it's not in vain. He pointed out: "Because the stitching method is different, the needle is rotated, and several needles are used to embroider a petal, which naturally has this effect." If it is uneven to the touch, how can I wear it, the girl's skin is delicate, how can I hold it? As soon as Qiao Niang heard the name of the needle, she was full of yearning.

The Bai family was extremely smart, and when they heard it, they knew that Chen Wenhui had come for a purpose, but they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd. Seeing that Qiao Niang was about to fall into the circle.

Bai Shi didn't make a sound, just picked up the tea on the little girl's head, ready to drink it, looked down, the tea soup was yellow and turbid, and suddenly put it down again. Chen Wenhui said: "Your two sets of materials are good, but the stitching method is ordinary, the embroidery is not good-looking, and the style of big flowers has long been lost in the capital recently." It's all this little flower in vogue now. ”

Qiao Niang smiled bitterly: "Where did I come from here to be the most prosperous style in the capital, this is just the fashionable trick of Deqing City." In fact, most of us here only come to me to make clothes, and those who have the ability to go to Deqing City, and even go to Qingyang City to make clothes. So, if you come to me to make clothes, where do I dare to be, we are all imitating your clothes. ”

Bai smiled: "Qiao Niang, you are too good at talking, where can I be this fashion leader." ”

Qiao Niang said: "Mrs. Mingjian, this is the real truth." Besides, this embroidery is not comparable to the house. There are embroidery samples in the palace in the house, where have we seen it, let alone say that it will. When I was younger, I also met the world with my master. I once saw an embroidery girl from Beijing, saying that it was the skill that the ancestor brought out from the palace, and the stitch method, even my master couldn't understand it. I remembered in a trance that the embroidered things were just as concave and convex as the flowers on the girl's dress. It's a pity that I don't have that blessing to learn. These secret skills are passed down from generation to generation in the family, but not to the apprentices. ”

When Chen Wenhui heard this, she changed the topic: "Don't talk about embroidery, where do you get all the clothes here?" I couldn't buy clothes that fit, so I had to buy clothes and go back and let Sister Feiguang make them for me. Qiao Niang said: "It turns out that the girl's skirt was made by this Feiguang sister." Sister Feiguang is beautiful and beautiful, what a needle god. ”

Chen Wenhui heard it: "If you think Sister Feiguang's acupuncture is good, are you willing to worship her as a teacher?" As soon as he said this, Bai Shi and Feiguang were taken aback. You must know that in this era, the heavens, the earth, the king, the relatives, and the teachers. The status of the master is very noble. There is a saying: one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. The master is not lightly recognized.

Qiao Niang said: "Hey, if I were twenty years younger, I would definitely cry and shout to worship Feiguang girl as a teacher, now at this age, who wants to accept an old apprentice?" ”

Chen Wenhui hit the snake with the stick, and immediately said: "What if this master doesn't dislike the apprentice is old?" Qiao Niang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Feiguang: "If the master doesn't dislike it, I can't say it, even though I am old, I also want to learn this secret and unpassed acupuncture." ”

Feiguang's cheeks were red with shame, like a layer of rouge applied to white jade. Bai suddenly thought of something at this time, and suddenly understood. Wen Yan said: "Qiao Niang, how much can you make in this shop in a year?" The chief treasurer of my house is ten taels of silver a month. There is also a bonus at the end of the year. ”

Qiao Niang said enviously when she heard this: "It's ridiculous, I'm my own shop, I make my own decisions, and I only have an income of seven or eight taels of silver after shaving various expenses a month." If it's better to arrive at the New Year's Festival, it's much worse than the big shopkeeper in your house. ”

Bai said, "Okay then. I still have something to do today, if you want to worship Feiguang as a teacher and learn the secret skills in my house, you can put the shop on the plate? I, I will send Steward Chen in my house to negotiate with you, if you have a shop, I will hire you to be the big shopkeeper, and even your embroidery girl will be under the plate together. We'll talk about it tomorrow. We'll go back today. Think about it. After speaking, he led a group of people downstairs to wait for the car.
