In the afternoon, an embroidery village in Wuchang City.

Li Hongyu led Qin Yue in, and the boss in the embroidery village saw that the two were richly dressed, and they were rich people at first glance, so he warmly received them and beckoned his subordinates to send tea and pastries.

"Who of you has the best embroiderer here?" After looking at some embroidery samples, Qin Yue asked the boss of the embroidery village quietly.

"Her name is Su Niang, and her embroidery skills are the best we have here, and the sample that Mrs. holds in her hand is embroidered by her." When the boss of the embroidery village heard this, he hurriedly asked someone to call a woman in her twenties over and introduced it with a smile.

"Xianggong, her skills are good, let's decide on her." Qin Yue glanced at the woman named Su Niang, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile that she was happy to help Li Hongyu come to Xiuzhuang to find out about the past of the red sleeves.

"Hmm." Li Hongyu nodded when he heard this, then got up and checked some of the embroidery works hanging on the wall in the room, Qin Yue discussed the embroidery with the woman named Su Niang.

"Lady, these two mandarin ducks are well embroidered." Standing in front of a work embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, Li Hongyu glanced at the word "Lan Niang" embroidered under the work, and said to Qin Yue with a smile.

According to Li Hongyu's inquiry, the name of the red sleeves in the embroidery village is "Lan Niang", only the kind of women with superb embroidery skills have a stage name in the embroidery village, just like the name of the red sleeves in the Mingyue Pavilion, the red sleeves are also her stage name in the Mingyue Pavilion.

"If Xianggong likes it, let her embroider a few pairs of mandarin ducks for us." Qin Yue said with a smile when she heard this.

"This son, it's really not a coincidence, this embroidery girl is no longer doing it in the embroidery village." Hearing this, the boss of the embroidery village hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.

"That's not a coincidence." Li Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head, looking a little disappointed, this scene was clearly seen by everyone at the scene.

Seeing this, the boss of the embroidery village secretly felt sorry in his heart, if the red sleeves were still doing it in the embroidery village, then the current reputation must have surpassed that of Su Niang, but unfortunately she became a dusty woman, which is really a sigh.

Of course, it is impossible for the boss of the embroidery village to tell Li Hongyu that the red sleeves are now in the Mingyue Pavilion, you must know that the embroidery girls in the embroidery village are all serious girls, and they are not comparable to the women of the wind and dust at all, so he is unwilling to have anything to do with the red sleeves, so as not to be misunderstood.

Qin Yue was very generous, and ordered two hundred taels of silver embroidery from Su Niang in one go, hoping that she could make it within seven days, in addition to this is Li Hongyu's request, she also wants to make a few more clothes before Li Hongyu enters Beijing to catch the exam, and those embroideries can be used at that time.

Although the results of the township examination have not yet been announced, Qin Yue believes that Li Hongyu will definitely be able to win the examination, and he will definitely be able to pass the selection and assessment of the person to go to the capital to take the examination, so those embroideries can come in handy.

The embroidery of two hundred taels of silver was a big business, and Su Niang happily prepared to go, and seven days was enough time for her to deliver the goods.

"Childe, madam, I know where the embroidery girl who embroidered the pair of mandarin ducks is."

Leaving the embroidery village, Li Hongyu and Qin Yue went to a gold shop not far away to buy jewelry, and when the two chose a few pieces of jewelry and walked out of the store to get into the carriage parked in front of the door, a young woman wearing the clothes of a female embroiderer flashed out from the side and spoke.

"Where is she?" Li Hongyu heard that a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, it seems that the purpose of his visit this time has been achieved, it seems that this young embroiderer is a person who has a close relationship with the red sleeves in the embroidery village, otherwise he would not have chased him out.

According to the information that Li Hongyu obtained, Red Sleeves was very popular when he was in Xiuzhuang, so he couldn't judge who Red Sleeves had the best relationship with based on the limited information at hand, and it would take a lot of time if he waited to collect enough information, which was not what Li Hongyu wanted to see, and what he lacked most now was time.

Therefore, Li Hongyu thought of a way to lure the snake out of the hole to test the people in the embroidery village, and now it seems that he has gained something.

"That embroidery lady has now gone to another embroidery village, and it is inconvenient to take over the work of the son and the lady. If the son and the lady believe me, I can do the work for the girl and let the embroiderer embroider the pattern that the young master and the lady want. ”

The young embroiderer bowed to Li Hongyu and Qin Yue, and said with a smile, "I will definitely not delay the trip of my son and wife." ”

"How do you know we're leaving here?" Li Hongyu and Qin Yue looked at each other silently, and then asked pretending to be surprised.

"Childe and Mrs. are both accents from Xiangyang Mansion, and Mrs. has to deliver the goods within seven days, so I guess that Childe and Mrs. may have to leave Wuchang City in seven days." The young embroiderer smiled and explained.

"I see." Li Hongyu pretended to be thoughtful and nodded, and then asked, "I don't know what the girl is called." ”

"Hui Gongzi, I'm Qingning." When the young embroiderer heard this, he bowed to Li Hongyu, smiled and reported to himself, "The embroidery village that entered with the embroidery girl that the son was looking for, but she was talented and soon left the school." ”

"Miss Qingning, then I'll trouble you." Qin Yue said to Qing Ning with a smile when she heard this, and then nodded to Xiao Lan who was following her, and Xiao Lan took out a piece of broken silver and handed it over.

"Mrs. Xie." After Qing Ning took the broken silver, he hurriedly bowed to Qin Yue and thanked him.

"Miss Qingning, we won't let you work in vain, and when this matter is completed, Mrs. Ben will definitely have a heavy reward." Qin Yue smiled and casually threw out a big bait, "I just hope this matter can be faster, don't delay our trip." ”

"Madame, don't worry, I will definitely not delay Madame's trip, I will go to the embroidery girl in the evening." Hearing this, Qing Ning waved her hands again and again, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what Mrs. and Son-in-law want to embroider?" ”

"You do." Qin Yue looked at Li Hongyu when he heard this, and Li Hongyu said with a smile when he heard this, "As long as it is you choose, I like it." ”

"According to the style I chose in the embroidery village, I will have another one, and the price will be the same." Although she knew that Li Hongyu was acting for Qing Ning to see, Qin Yue still felt a burst of joy in her heart when she heard this, and said to Qing Ning after a deep groan.

"Madam, although I have answered you in this matter, I still have to see if the embroidery lady is free to do it, if she is really busy and can't turn around, I hope that Madame will forgive me at that time." Qing Ning nodded when she heard this, then remembered something and said to Qin Yue.

"If that's the case, we'll miss out." Qin Yue smiled and replied disappreciatively, as if she didn't take this matter to heart.

Qing Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she was worried that if this business was not successful, Qin Yue would take back the previous piece of silver, in that case, she would be in vain.

"Madame, how shall I find you then?" Then, Qing Ning remembered something and hurriedly asked.

"We're going to Hankow tomorrow." Qin Yue naturally wouldn't tell Qing Ning where she lived, so she said after a deep sigh, "That's it, tomorrow I will ask my subordinates to come to your house with the money to find you, and if the business is feasible, I will give you the money." ”

"Okay." Qing Ning nodded again and again when she heard this, her eyes flashed with a look of excitement, and she secretly wondered how much she could make from this business.

Li Hongyu looked at Qingning quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his heart was happier than Qingning, he didn't expect to catch the "fish" of Qingning so smoothly.

On the way home, in the carriage.

"Brother Yu, is this Qingning the person you are looking for?" Seeing that Li Hongyu was in a rather comfortable mood, Qin Yue, who was sitting opposite him, asked with a smile.

"The person who is confident that he will find Red Sleeves to take over this business definitely has a lot to do with her, so that Qingning must know some of Red Sleeves' secrets."

Li Hongyu smiled and replied confidently, as long as the relationship between Red Sleeves and Hankook can be found, then the case of Mingyue Pavilion will be revealed.

"Brother Yu, will that red sleeve be suspicious?"

Qin Yue smiled when she heard this, to be honest, she didn't expect Li Hongyu to set up such a bureau to find Qingning, if it was her, she would be helpless, and then remembered something, and couldn't help but ask with some worry.

"This business was taken by Qingning on her own initiative, so she naturally won't be suspicious." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and said methodically, "Besides, she was just blackmailed by Chen Aniu, so now must be the time to be short of money." ”

"Brother Yu, what will be the relationship between Red Sleeves and Hankook?" Qin Yue couldn't help but bow slightly when she heard this, thinking that Li Hongyu was reasonable, at this time, the red sleeves would definitely not have trouble with the money, and would definitely accept this business, and then remembered something and couldn't help but ask curiously.

If Red Sleeves really helped Han Tai plot against Xu Tao, then the relationship between Red Sleeves and Han Tai must not be simple, otherwise there is no need to provoke this kind of life lawsuit with her identity as a red card in Mingyue Pavilion.

"Red Sleeves' mother didn't have a serious illness three years ago, I'm afraid that the money for treatment at that time was from Han Tae, so Red Sleeves must repay him for this kindness."

Li Hongyu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "The red sleeves can become the red card of Mingyue Pavilion, there must be a certain amount of scheming, don't look at her current scenery, but Qinlou Chu Pavilion is eating youth rice in a place like this, and she will definitely be squeezed out by newcomers after a few years, so you must consider the future lifelong events." ”

"Brother Yu, Han Tai promised to take her as a concubine!" Qin Yue reacted, and couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully, Han Tai is not only the benefactor of Red Sleeves but also her guarantee for the rest of her life, so Red Sleeves will definitely help Han Tai with this.

Although the red sleeves were born in the Qinglou, the concubine has a low status since ancient times, so no one cares about anything, and the big families are often proud of the famous prostitutes in the Qinglou as concubines.

"Brother Yu, did Han Tae really kill his fiancée?" Then, Qin Yue remembered something and asked suspiciously, if that was the case, then Han Tai was really terrible, and he actually designed to take the lives of his fiancée and Xu Tao one after another.

"I don't know about this, but Hankook should have a deep affection for him, otherwise he will definitely not risk anything except Xu Tao." Li Hongyu shook his head, he just felt that Han Tae's fiancée died too strangely, and it was still impossible to know how she died.

"She's really not satisfied, a man as good as Hankook still has an affair with Xu Tao!" Qin Yue couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, she had some sympathy for Han Tai, but she was desperate for her fiancée but she didn't want to be cuckolded.

For some reason, Qin Yue was a little envious of Han Tae's fiancée in her heart, although she did something wrong, at least Han Taok had a deep affection for her and was single-minded.

Qin Yue felt that Li Hongyu had three women in his heart, one was her fiancée, one was the personal maid Rou'er, and the other was the barbaric little county lord Zhu Wanting, she could only get one-third of Li Hongyu's feelings.

Don't look at Li Hongyu taking Qin Yue to the painting boat to make an appointment to anger Zhu Wanting, but with a woman's intuition, she thinks that Li Hongyu must also have a place for Zhu Wanting in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't be depressed and sullen afterwards.

Li Hongyu was pondering the matter between Red Sleeves and Han Tai at this time, so he didn't notice the complicated change in Qin Yue's face, how could he have thought that Qin Yue had an indescribable grievance in his heart.
