It was night, and Ah Xiu returned tired.

As soon as she entered, she collapsed on the soft couch in the wing, not wanting to get up at all.

"Miss, go to bed and rest after bathing, you will be uncomfortable like this."

Chunliu took the two little maids into the bathroom to clean up, and after a while, she turned out and helped her in.

The water vapor, the fragrant bath and the soup, the hot water is full of the body, and Ah Xiu is finally comfortable.

She waved away the spring willow, took care of herself and washed herself, and then leaned against the wall of the barrel and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Today's opening return is generally satisfactory to themselves, the morning is lively, the afternoon is full of merchants, almost all of the embroidery business in Linjiang City have come again.

It is not surprising that tomorrow will start to start those merchants in the surrounding counties and counties who have heard the news will also come, and they will be busy at that time, but they have not yet built an embroidery workshop, and there are not many goods that can be shipped, but there are a lot of stocks in the feather clothes and clothes, which can temporarily solve the greed of those people.

Thinking of this, Ah Xiu thought of the Song family in Hekou Town again.

According to the plan, Song Er will follow the caravan after Brother Tian's academy exam, and then he will be able to know Brother Tian's results and how his family is doing......

Ah Xiu thought in a daze, and gradually her breathing began to become longer, and she leaned against the edge of the barrel and fell asleep.

In her dream, also in the bathroom, she rolled up her sleeves and laboriously poured hot water into the bucket.

Mother Du came in, quickly put down the clothes in her hand and said, "Miss, why did you do it yourself, just leave it to the old slave to do it." ”

Du's mother wanted to take away the bucket, but Ah Xiu wouldn't let her.

"It's not heavy, I'll just come."

The fingers that were as white as shallots were red, and they didn't weigh much.

Du's mother was sour when she saw her nose.

"Miss, it's better to have two more people tomorrow, if the lord and the lady are still alive, how distressed it must be to see you suffer like this."

They left the He family and built their own courtyard, but this small courtyard with two entrances is not only small but also old, except for the young lady and her, the entire Zhuo Mansion is just a mother-in-law who helps in the kitchen, a small guy and a coachman who go out to run errands.

When she went out to build a mansion, Du's mother was not afraid of anything, she was afraid that the young lady would suffer hardship.

"Let's talk about entering the company when our business is stable, don't think about it now."

Ah Xiu took the bucket and went to the stove room again.

It has been two months since she left the He family, and she has begun to abandon her original noble life.

At this point, she understood what she had to learn and face, and everything was different.

The next day, as soon as Ma Liang Axiu woke up, she got up and had breakfast, and then took Du's mother to a small shop next to the Gongting Bridge.

This is the shop she bought with a large sum of money last month.

The location of the Gongting Bridge was still in the Zhuo family, she heard her father mention it, and she wanted to take advantage of the batch of goods in Beijing to settle the silver and take down the two rows of floors on the opposite side to build an embroidery building, and then it will be the door of the Zhuo family, but it's a pity......

Ah Xiu doesn't have the ability to fulfill her father's last wish now, but it feels good to have a small shop here, at least it gives her one more thought, maybe one day she can win the row building opposite.

Du's mother opened the door, Ah Xiu helped sort out the goods, and two noble ladies came to the door.

Ah Xiu recognized them, one was a young lady from the prefect's family, and the other was a young lady from the Liang family's newly married past.

The two of them didn't look at things when they entered the door, but pulled Ah Xiu to ask for warmth, an unmarried little girl built a house, it was very difficult, very helpless, obviously she was a daughter in the He family, why did she run out, is this her own sin.

In the small half month since the shop, Ah Xiu has been surprised by the purpose and face of these people, these are somewhat different from her, and now that she is down, she naturally wants to come over and see the jokes.

Every time she encounters these things, Ah Xiu will laugh at them, and then tell them that she is very good, if you want to buy something, look at it casually, if you don't buy it, please stop, don't delay her business.

Down-and-out and hard-mouthed, some people left directly, and some faked people would pay silver to buy an embroidered handkerchief, after all, I heard that He Wenyun had a deep love for her, and she also let go of the outside world, maybe this person will return to He Mansion one day.

Sending the two away to see the excitement, Ah Xiu was a little impetuous with the embroidery bandage.

"Mother Du, didn't Aunt Wu from the tofu shop say yesterday that she was going to introduce her niece to come over to be an embroiderer, you go over and ask, is anyone coming."

A small shop, the things in it are all from Du's mother and Ah Xiu's hands.

Business to be bigger, just the two of them must not work, A Xiu has posted a recruitment information at the door, but unfortunately half a month has passed without a person coming to the door, and the paper with the recruitment information is often torn off.

Ah Xiu knew who was behind the ghost, so she simply didn't stick to it, and began to talk outside and ask people to inquire.

When it comes to recruitment, who is not queuing up for the owner's family to pick, and she is the first one to ask people to come to the door.

Du's mother answered and soon went out.

The tofu shop on Front Street is not far from here, and Du's mother turned back after going out for a while, and her face was not very good-looking.

"What's wrong?"

Ah Xiu put down the needle and thread, and Du's mother sighed and said, "That person can't say it again." ”

"Why?"

Ah Xiu remembered that Aunt Wu was smiling when she mentioned this, and she heard that Ah Xiu would teach acupuncture to the embroidery girl, and she was even more happy, why didn't she come after two days.

To say that in the past, not to mention that she would teach the Zhuo family acupuncture, that is, she tried her hand in front of outsiders, and many people came to watch, but now she is not even stingy with the family's acupuncture, but no one comes.

"Miss, don't worry."

Mother Du saw her angry face, and hurriedly went in and stroked her back and said: "Miss, we are not in a hurry about this matter, if Aunt Wu's niece doesn't come, let's find someone else, I don't believe that such a big Linjiang City can't recruit a few embroidery girls." ”

Du's mother comforted, but Ah Xiu sighed secretly.

She knew why those people didn't come, and she had been out for more than two months, even if she didn't know before, she understood now.

It's not that those people don't want to come, they don't dare.

Ah Xiu put down the bandage in her hand and said silently: "Let's rest for a day tomorrow and go to the village to collect some silkworm cocoons." ”

Since those people don't want her to open a shop, they don't want her to run an embroidery workshop, she just doesn't do it, she still has the Zhuo family's soul treasure feather dress, she only needs to produce a superlative, she believes that those who dare not cooperate with her will take risks.

The next day, Ah Xiu took Du's mother out of the city and went to a nearby town.

The embroidery in the Linjiang area is prosperous, although each family has its own silkworm garden, but every household in the village and town also has silkworms.

The cocoons produced in these places are usually purchased by merchants from the city or brought to the city to be sold.

A Xiu and the three of them entered the village soon after a silkworm farmer came forward to ask, originally they were all going to sell silkworm cocoons, but when they saw a fifteen or sixteen girl sitting in the carriage, they were stunned and then quickly waved their hands, saying that their silkworm cocoons were set for people.
