Chapter 149: Wooing
When Zeng Rong was thinking about how to refuse this cloak, Liu Chunmiao picked up the cloak and put it on Zeng Rong personally.
"Aunt Liu, what are you?" Zeng Rong was a little resistant to the other party's overtures.
"This is what I turned out when I turned over the bottom of the box a few days ago, and I put it in vain for a long time, thinking that you didn't even have a big hair clothes, and last time I was frostbitten because of this, so I found someone to modify it to see if it was suitable."
"Aunt Liu, this thing is too valuable, I, I, it's better to do this, I'll give you these two months' wages."
Zeng Rong really didn't want to owe the other party such a big favor, a fox fur cloak was worth at least ten or twenty taels of silver, for no reason, who would give you such a big benefit?
But the clothes have been changed to smaller, and they are pink silk noodles, this color Zeng Rong wears just right, and Liu Chunmiao is a little too tender to wear, so Zeng Rong wants to buy it in his own way.
"What are these words? Aunt Qin can ask for medical advice for you and take you to take care of you personally, but after you get well, I am afraid that you will be empty, and I specially sent you more than a month of food, so I can't give you a piece of clothing? Or is it that your Aunt Qin is an aunt, and I am not your aunt? Liu Chunmiao said angrily.
"Don't, Aunt Liu wants to say this, it's really annoying to me, in my heart, you two are my aunts, just like my relatives, there is no difference between close and far, Aunt Qin's side, I owe such a favor and have been uneasy, don't hide it from Aunt Liu, yesterday I met a eunuch brother in a dining room, and begged him to help me buy some honey, lilies and other things for Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin was sick a few days ago and coughed very badly."
Zeng Rong saw that Liu Chunmiao was very clear about her affairs, and thinking that Xiaodouzi might not be able to hide it from her, he simply confessed.
It's not a big deal, if she is really investigated one day, maybe Liu Chunmiao can help her cover it up.
Sure enough, when Liu Chunmiao heard that Zeng Rong sent something to Qin Chuxue to return the favor of the other party, her face looked a little better, which meant that Zeng Rong did not fully accept Qin Chuxue, and he didn't want to be involved too much with the other party.
Of course, there is also a possibility that Zeng Rong is grateful, Qin Chuxue took care of her who was sick, so the other party was sick, and Zeng Rong also wanted to do his part.
Whatever the reason, it wasn't a bad thing for her.
Also, she observed Zeng Rong for three months, this child is indeed smart, talented, mature, and the city is also deep, it is rare that he is kind in nature, not arrogant, not extravagant, not greedy. Therefore, she had a hunch that it wouldn't be long before Zeng Rong was afraid that he would have to leave the embroidery workshop.
No matter where Zeng Rong went, over time, he would definitely be stronger than her Liu Chunmiao, and it wouldn't be long before she Liu Chunmiao begged this girl to pull her.
Therefore, she will not lose this dress to Zeng Rong, and she will not take advantage of Zeng Rong's undeveloped situation to woo her, and if she wants to win her over in the future, she is afraid that Zeng Rong may not give her this opportunity.
"Well done, my aunt is very happy that she didn't see the wrong person, you are a good boy who knows how to repay her kindness, your aunt Qin has been a little difficult recently, I can't persuade her, you have time to accompany her more."
When Liu Chunmiao said this, Zeng Rong wanted to ask Qin Chuxue what happened, but she couldn't understand whether Liu Chunmiao's words were sincere or false to test her, so she couldn't ask this, for fear of causing trouble for Qin Chuxue, and for fear of causing trouble for herself.
"Then what can I do for Aunt Liu? This favor is really too big, and it is said that it is useless, and you are like this, Ah Rong is deeply frightened, and he will not be able to sleep at night. Zeng Rong said half-truthfully.
"Who said reactive? Last time, you rushed to finish the queen's regular dress for more than a month before morning or night, and my aunt doesn't know how grateful you are, otherwise, my aunt would probably be difficult to sit here and talk to you. ”
This is Liu Chunmiao's true words, if it weren't for Zeng Rong's cleverness, knowing that using gold foil thread to embroider this kind of hollow lace to reduce the size and color of peony petals, this embroidery would be difficult to complete on time, therefore, Liu Chunmiao was very glad that he was looking for Zeng Rong, and it would be difficult for another person to complete this regular dress in such a short time.
"But you've already paid me double my salary."
Last month, Zeng Rong received a salary of fifteen taels of silver, double the salary was ten taels, and the other five taels were rewarded for her invention of this needle.
Because of this, many embroidery girls have ideas, and some of them have rushed to work, but they have never been given double wages for a whole month, and besides, Zeng Rong's salary is set to be high, Liu Chunmiao said that it is because she can draw her own patterns, and everyone will admit it, indeed Zeng Rong's talent is obvious to all, and they can't compare.
But it's a bit too much to say that the money for rushing work has also been given five taels, how many of these embroidery girls haven't rushed to work? But who has given them double their salaries?
Now it's good, inventing a new stitch method can also reward five taels of silver, which is too easy to earn? Which of them doesn't have a special job?
Although Liu Chunmiao repeatedly explained the reason for the fifteen taels of silver, everyone finally left a mustard in their hearts.
Fortunately, this month, that is, before breakfast, Liu Chunmiao paid this month's salary, and this time Zeng Rong only had five taels of silver, and everyone was much more peaceful.
Who knows that Zeng Rong doesn't mention the salary, but when he mentions the salary, Liu Chunmiao has something to say, according to her meaning, Zeng Rong takes this mere five taels of silver every month is too condescending, this craft, in exchange for any embroidery workshop outside, you can earn a thousand taels of silver a year, not to mention anything else, just by relying on the patterns she painted, selling six or seven hundred taels of silver a year is no problem, not to mention, Zeng Rong also has a unique self-created needle method in his hand, who doesn't take her as a fragrant bait?
But she just put aside the good days outside but entered the palace, which Liu Chunmiao has not figured out yet.
However, this did not delay her from wanting to make up for Zeng Rong, but unfortunately her ability was limited, and this caused Zeng Rong so much jealousy.
"Okay, don't mention any double wages, my aunt knows very well that you have been wronged."
"I'm not wronged, my aunt has compensated me, what am I still wronged?" Zeng Rong smiled brightly, he accepted this generous gift.
Liu Chunmiao had already made tea at that time, poured a cup for Zeng Rong, and took out a few dried fruits, and the two of them also talked about the embroidery workshop while drinking tea and sipping melon seeds.
Coincidentally, Liu Chunmiao also asked about Amei's departure, she asked whether Zeng Rong knew in advance, how Amei and Liu An met, and why Amei was chosen by the Queen Mother.
Zeng Rong answered her one by one, but her answer had no reference value, and she didn't know.
After three unknowns in a row, Liu Chunmiao's face was a little difficult to look at again.
But Zeng Rong can't do it, don't say that she didn't know this kind of thing in advance, even if she was clear, she couldn't say it, didn't she deliberately embarrass her?
