Chapter 104, Good Intentions
Zeng Rong's words reminded Yu Yunqing, and Yu Yunqing realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly and apologetically smiled at Li Man, asking Li Man what requirements he had for embroidery.
In fact, Jinxiufang took over the business of marrying a daughter in the Zhenguo Mansion two months ago, and there were also various screens, so the shrewd Yu Yunqing also guessed that Li Man was here for Zeng Rong.
Although she didn't know what Zeng Rong had to do with the noble son in front of her, it didn't prevent her from wanting to use this matter to get closer to her relationship with the Zhenguo Mansion, because she knew that this Li Man was the eldest grandson of the Zhenguo Mansion, and it was no surprise that he would be the one who would take over the Zhenguo Mansion in the future.
Li Man saw that Yu Yunqing finally stopped making noise to him, and just felt more comfortable, but suddenly heard her ask him about his requirements for embroidery, which person he knew about embroidery, so he looked at Zeng Rong again, and blushed before speaking.
Zeng Rong was frank and open, and looked back and said: "Could it be that Li Gongzi meant to approve my proposal just now, Su embroidery, double-sided embroidery?" ”
Yu Yunqing saw Li Man nodding and ordered Zeng Rong to find Honggu.
Honggu is from Gusu and is good at double-sided embroidery, Zeng Rong just mentioned the double-sided embroidery of Suzhou embroidery, and Yu Yunqing guessed that she wanted to recommend Honggu.
Although Honggu is not like Ah Tao who often sticks together with Zeng Rong to laugh and play, Yu Yunqing also knows that the two are relatively close, Zeng Rong will ask Honggu if there is anything he doesn't understand, Honggu will patiently explain and demonstrate some acupuncture schools to her, and Zeng Rong will teach Honggu color matching and layout.
Half an hour later, Zeng Rong sat in front of his embroidery frame, Honggu entered the exhibition hall, Li Man saw that Honggu was alone, concealed his disappointment, handed over the painting to Honggu, and hurriedly left after making a few requests.
At this time, he had already regretted his impulsiveness, and what he did today did not look like a son of a family at all, and it did not match his usual cultivation, like a different person, this kind of cognition made him feel quite frightened and uneasy.
Also, after calming down, he was also worried that the elders in the family would cause trouble for Zeng Rong after they found out about this.
But there is one thing he is quite relieved of, Zeng Rong did not disappoint him, he did not treat him differently or distorted because he reported out of the house, this little girl's concentration is not ordinarily strong, but it is a pity that she was born in the wrong place.
After Li Man, who was full of worries, returned home, he suddenly remembered something again, went to Jinxiufang, and actually forgot the most important point, and forgot to inquire about Zeng Rong's family background to see if he could help something.
However, Li Man definitely didn't have the courage to walk into the splendid workshop again, and after thinking about it, he entered his sister's room.
Zeng Rong met Li Yun three days later, Yu Yunqing was not in the embroidery workshop at that time, because Li Yun did not report to his family, Zeng Rong was not easy to inquire about her identity, but politely refused her request, saying that he really couldn't take the job during this time.
"It doesn't sound like you grew up in the capital with your accent, can I ask where your hometown is?" Seeing that Zeng Rong rejected her, Li Xun was not angry, and still asked kindly.
"From the south." This time, Zeng Rong did not mention Anzhou, and she made up her mind to enter the palace and didn't want to make friends with these family ladies anymore, for fear of bringing trouble to the Xu family.
"South? Where to the south? Are you coming alone or with your family? Li Xun was taken aback, because she also saw that Zeng Rong was indeed not very old, and he should be the youngest in the embroidery workshop.
In fact, she is not very old, not yet old, but her future husband is not young, and the other party is in a hurry to get married, so the date of marriage is set on the day of her new year, in May next year.
After the family affairs were settled, Li Xun began to prepare for marriage, and this preparation for marriage suddenly made him feel that he seemed to have matured a lot, and he looked at Zeng Rong like a child.
"Came with my family." Zeng Rong told a little lie.
"Oh, who's in your house?" Li Xun asked again.
Hearing this, Zeng Rong suddenly realized that something was wrong, these conversations had nothing to do with embroidery, how could anyone ask about these when they met for the first time? What's more, the other party's identity is so noble, it is necessary to inquire about these things to a little embroidery girl who doesn't know?
In a flash of lightning, she thought of Li Man, and then carefully looked at the other party's eyebrows, there was really a similarity, Zeng Rong, who was clear in his heart, smiled faintly and said: "This girl, the embroidery workshop has the rules of the embroidery workshop, and you are not allowed to talk about private matters unrelated to embroidery with guests, and please forgive the girl." If the girl really has embroidery to give to us, please wait for the shopkeeper to come and then decide, I really can't take your job, and please forgive me. ”
"How can this be said to have nothing to do with embroidery? Also, it's not that you're talking to me about private matters, it's me talking to you, so you're not breaking the rules of the embroidery workshop. Good sister, I have seen your embroidered purse, all say that the text is like its person, I think the painting is also like its person, from your embroidery, I know that you are a knowledgeable, elegant and interesting person, today I saw that it was so, so I can't help but talk more, and please sister don't laugh at me. Li Xun took Zeng Rong's hand and said.
It turned out that before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the Zhenguo Mansion also bought a lot of Zeng Rong's design purse from the Splendid Fang, and Li Xun was also happy to see these patterns, but the family's favorite Zeng Rong embroidery was the Duchess of Guo, that is, Li Xun's grandmother.
The old lady believes in Buddhism and believes in cause and effect, so she likes Zeng Rong's embroidery of the Zen purses the most, but she doesn't know that the designer of these purse patterns is a twelve-year-old country girl, but she also praised Zeng Rong, saying that this embroidery girl must be a person with wisdom roots, and the future creation will definitely be not small.
It was precisely because the old lady fell in love with Zeng Rong that she handed over some of the embroideries used by Li Yun to Jinxiufang.
This is also the reason why Li Xun promised to come forward to inquire about Zeng Rong's family history for his brother, not only that, but Li Xun also promised his brother that she would come forward to help Zeng Rong.
It's not that Li Man hasn't considered being willful by his own will, but he is the eldest grandson of the Zhenguo Mansion, and his family affairs are absolutely capricious.
It's not that he didn't consider taking Zeng Rong to his side as a child, but he didn't want to wronged Zeng Rong; Second, he guessed that Zeng Rong might not be willing; Third, he has seen too many ugly faces competing for favor among concubines in the house, and he never wants the face he likes to become hateful one day.
Zeng Rong didn't know Li Man's kindness, but she was very grateful for Li Xun's favor, a young lady from the Zhenguo Mansion actually held her hand as a little embroidery girl, but it was rare that there was no contempt in her eyes, and she was really treated as an equal.
However, gratitude is gratitude, Zeng Rong didn't intend to accept the other party's heart, and just as he was resigning, Yu Yunqing came back.
