"Jiujiu, in my opinion, what you did is not wrong." After thinking for a while, Wang Ruyao replied, "The original intention of opening an embroidery workshop is to provide excellent embroidery products for the people. It is gratifying to be able to get the emperor's appreciation and be selected as a royal thing, but we must not forget the original intention. Let's not forget that when the embroidery workshop first started, it all relied on the support of the people. If it is chosen for royal use, it will no longer be sold to the people, how can this be said in the past? ”

Bai Jiujiu nodded in agreement. Wang Ruyao has the same opinion as her, in her opinion, no matter how big the business of the embroidery workshop is, she cannot forget the people who have supported her from the beginning.

"Ru Yao, it would be nice if I could have known you earlier." She and Wang Ruyao have a bit of a sense of hating each other.

Wang Ruyao chuckled lightly and laughed at herself, "It's good that we met late." If you had known me earlier, you would have been scared away by my brutality. ”

The two of them laughed at the same time, Bai Jiujiu took some pastries out of the room, and the two of them talked happily for a while.

"Jiujiu, have you ever heard of a thing?" As she talked, Wang Ruyao seemed to think of something, and suddenly lowered her voice.

Hearing Wang Ruyao's words, Bai Jiujiu's face couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, and he asked, "What are you referring to?" I haven't heard anything strange happening lately. ”

Wang Ruyao sighed, a hint of hesitation flashed on her face, as if she was considering whether she should tell Bai Jiujiu about this.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ruyao bit her lip, as if she had finally made up her mind, "Actually, there have been many foreigners coming to Han's house recently. ”

"Gentiles?" Bai Jiujiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Although it is not common for Gentiles here, it is not surprising that Zhao Yin does business everywhere on weekdays, and he will know some foreigners. ”

Wang Ruyao shook her head, she glanced around vigilantly, and found that no one else was there, so she slowly exhaled a breath, "I won't tell you, those foreigners coming to the Han family are not normal contacts." ”

Seeing Wang Ruyao's serious face, Bai Jiujiu faced up to this matter, and it seemed that the other party was not joking. Bai Jiujiu didn't interrupt, but stared at Wang Ruyao's face and listened carefully to her next words.

"Zhao Yin is often not at home, and as soon as those foreigners arrive at Han's house, they are taken to the room by Old Man Han to talk secretly." Wang Ruyao's face showed a solemnity, and she said slowly, "I always feel that what they are talking about is not a good thing. ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Bai Jiujiu's eyes, the secret of the Han family, she was inconvenient to explore. If you listen to it again, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.

"Ru Yao, are you thinking too much? After all, the Han family is a merchant family, and it is not strange that Old Man Han has a few familiar foreigners, maybe they just went to the room to catch up with the old days. ”

"That's what I thought in the beginning." Wang Ruyao said with some solemnity, "But once, I went to Mr. Han's study to look for books, and it happened that he brought a foreigner to the room for a secret conversation. They didn't notice that I was there, and I overheard the conversation. ”

Wang Ruyao took a deep breath before continuing, "Their secret conversation is not as simple as reminiscing, it seems that they want to export the embroidery produced by the embroidery workshop to foreign countries through strangers. ”

Hearing this, Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but be shocked. If goods were to be exported to foreign countries, they had to get permission from the imperial court. And the embroidery workshop jointly opened by Bai Jiujiu and Han Zhaoyin sells clean every day, and even the palace is in short supply, how can the imperial court allow them to sell embroidery to foreign countries?

"What did Old Man Han say, he shouldn't have agreed, right?" Bai Jiujiu's eyebrows were tightly locked.

If Old Man Han really agreed, then the matter would be serious. It was a crime to sell goods to foreign countries without the permission of the imperial court. If it spreads, I'm afraid the entire Han family will be implicated.

Wang Ruyao shook her head gently, "I agreed, but I didn't agree." The old man is very shrewd, and naturally he will not let the Han family stand in danger. It's just that the old man was tight-lipped about this matter, and he didn't even tell Zhao Yin, which made me a little worried. ”

Hearing that Old Man Han was not confused, Bai Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief. Now she and the Han family can be said to be grasshoppers on a rope. If the Han family violates the law, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be dragged into the water.

"Ru Yao, in my opinion, this matter is not as complicated as you think, Old Man Han will not make fun of the entire Han family." Bai Jiujiu raised her hand and gently patted Wang Ruyao's shoulder, signaling her not to worry too much, "If you really can't rest assured, tell Zhaoyin about this." As long as he comes forward to talk to Old Man Han, there will definitely be no problem. ”

Wang Ruyao hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly, "I understand." When Zhao Yin came home, I told him about it. ”

Calculating the time, Han Zhaoyin should be returning soon when he went out to do business. Bai Jiujiu believed in Han Zhaoyin very much and knew that he would definitely not do anything illegal. As long as Han Zhaoyin is still there, the Han family's mansion will definitely not topple.

"By the way, you can only tell Zhao Yin about this alone, and don't let anyone else know." Bai Jiujiu was worried that there would be extraneous complications, so he opened his mouth to remind, "If someone with a heart listens to it, I'm afraid it will hit your Han family's idea." ”

Wang Ruyao naturally knew the power of it, "Don't worry, I won't mention this matter to anyone except you and Zhao Yin." ”

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside. Bai Jiujiu glanced at the sky and knew that it was Xu Huaiqing who came back, "Look at the time, it should be the next dynasty." Sit down for a moment, and I'll open the door. ”

Now waiting for Xu Huaiqing to go home every day seems to have become Bai Jiujiu's habit, and he doesn't even open the door in the hands of others. She wanted to be the first person Xu Huaiqing saw when he entered the door.

Wang Ruyao stood up with Bai Jiujiu, "Since Huaiqing is back, then I won't bother you." It's not getting early, and it's time for me to go back. ”

Bai Jiujiu didn't say anything to stay, she and Wang Ruyao walked to the door together and opened the door.

"Isn't this Mrs. Han, why do you have time to come to our house as a guest?" Seeing Wang Ruyao, Xu Huaiqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked.

"Ru Yao is my best friend now, and she will definitely come over often in the future." As soon as Bai Jiujiu saw Xu Huaiqing, his eyes showed joy.

Wang Ruyao blessed her body with kindness, "Lord Xu, I will bother you in the future, don't be surprised." ”
