Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Stalls Are Her Battlefield
When she got home, Qin Huaijin washed her hands and went to the kitchen to work first, Shen Xiaoyu tidied up the cloth she bought, cut what should be cut, and then sealed the edges, at first she still decided to embroider these small things first, if they sell well, they will prepare all the fans and screens, and they will do whatever they want, just make money.
In the evening, Qin Huaijin made a table of dishes, and Shen Xiaoyu ate happily, feeling that the uneasiness of coming to Kyoto City for the first time had disappeared
"It feels like this, it's good for you to be outside the Lord, and I'm good to be inside the Lord." Qin Huaijin said with a wry smile.
Shen Xiaoyu said: "It's good, but it's not a long-term solution, I think you still have to hurry up and study, and when you get admitted to the top prize, then you are still outside the home!" "Special treatment in special periods, Qin Huaijin does not have to be lost for a while.
Shen Xiaoyu embroidered at night, Qin Huaijin pressed down the charcoal basin, although the two of them were from the north, but when they arrived in Kyoto City, they found that the northerners were so frost-resistant, and it was uncomfortable to leave the brazier.
"You go back to sleep first." Shen Xiaoyu said.
"Yes." Qin Huaijin answered and went back to the room first.
Shen Xiaoyu looked at the oil lamp in the house, thinking that lamp oil also costs money, but fortunately he slept directly, otherwise his eyes would be afraid of burning.
Early the next morning, someone came to knock on the door, Shen Xiaoyu had just finished washing his face, stretched out his neck to take a look, and found that Qin Huaijin was also washing his face.
"I'll take a look, I guess the teacher is here." Shen Xiaoyu wiped his face and went to open the door.
The door creaked open, but it was not Yu Ping who came, but a woman, the woman's clothes were torn, and I don't know who pulled it, and her hair was messy, and she looked as if she had just finished a fight with someone.
"Sister-in-law, ...... are you?" Shen Xiaoyu asked.
The woman said, "I have met a robber ......."
As soon as Shen Xiaoyu heard that she had met a robber, she let the woman come in first, and when she closed the door, she looked out left and right, and when she saw that no one was following, she closed the door.
"Sister-in-law, where is your home? Do you want me to go to your house and find someone? Shen Xiaoyu asked.
The sister-in-law was crying and crying, still covering her neckline, Shen Xiaoyu looked at it, I was afraid that it was not just as simple as robbing money, it was estimated that there would be ...... Indecent assault.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry first, your clothes are torn, do you want to wear me first?" Shen Xiaoyu asked cautiously.
The sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Xiaoyu as a "man", I am afraid that it is even more inappropriate for her to wear men's clothes.
Shen Xiaoyu said, "Sister-in-law, wait for me first." ”
Shen Xiaoyu went back to the house and took a big-sleeved shirt, although it was not a precious fabric, but it was also beautiful, and when the sister-in-law saw it, she said, "Why do you have a woman's clothes......?" ”
Shen Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "I'm just a girl, I inherited men's clothes for convenience, sister-in-law will change it first." ”
The sister-in-law nodded, went into the room and changed her clothes, Shen Xiaoyu's figure was still small, and the sister-in-law was a little tight, but it didn't look awkward.
As soon as Qin Huaijin saw that there was no one in the courtyard, he entered Shen Xiaoyu's house, and asked in his mouth: "Who came just now......" As he was talking, he saw his sister-in-law wearing Shen Xiaoyu's clothes.
Shen Xiaoyu pulled Qin Huaijin to the side, and after talking about the situation, Qin Huaijin said: "In this case, I'm afraid I can't report to the official, it's not good for women's reputation." ”
Shen Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I'll ask where my home is, just send it back." After speaking, he walked up to his sister-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, where is your home?" Or will I send you back? ”
The sister-in-law shook her head and said, "No need, I'll just walk back by myself, and I'll send you back your clothes later." ”
"That's fine." Shen Xiaoyu said.
The sister-in-law came and went in a hurry, Shen Xiaoyu looked at the clothes left by the sister-in-law, the material is good material, this sister-in-law is estimated to be a big family of which family, but the clothes on her body just now are not torn, it is estimated that she struggled to run back. However, the wife of a large family has to bring a maid or mother-in-law to follow her when she goes out, why did this sister-in-law run out alone?
There are such villains at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it seems that this Kyoto city is not as perfect as imagined.
After embroidering flowers for a day during the day, Shen Xiaoyu embroidered more than 20 handkerchiefs, and his movements were smooth and the speed was jaw-dropping. Qin Huaijin was surprised: "Is it so fast?" ”
Shen Xiaoyu said proudly: "It's not fast, I haven't done it for a few days, and I'm a little rusty at the beginning." ”
Qin Huaijin gave a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing!" ”
Shen Xiaoyu smiled, more than 20 pieces were still not enough, she wanted to embroider more, and after dinner, she embroidered for a while, and she didn't stop until the middle of the moon.
Shen Xiaoyu fell asleep with excitement, now the shelves are ready, and the handkerchiefs are embroidered a lot, and he will go to the yamen tomorrow to get a number, and he can officially set up a stall.
Qin Huaijin heard Shen Xiaoyu in the next room moving in the morning, so he wanted to get up to help.
Shen Xiaoyu saw that Qin Huaijin was going to follow, so he said, "You can't go, you sleep well, study hard during the day, and I will do these little things about doing business." ”
"But ......" Qin Huaijin also knew that he couldn't help much, and the shelf was not too heavy, and Shen Xiaoyu could carry it by himself, but he still wanted to help.
"Only studying and taking the imperial examination is the way out for us to give that person, Mrs. wants you to listen to his arrangement, but I don't want to, I don't need Mrs.'s money in the future, I can also provide you with education, and then you make any decisions, Mrs. probably can't stop it!" Shen Xiaoyu said, she didn't believe it, if she offered Qin Huaijin as a champion, Qian Yuemei would still look down on her at that time! Even if you still can't look down on it, there will be no position to stop it when the time comes!
Qin Huaijin listened to Shen Xiaoyu's words, and understood Shen Xiaoyu's intentions in his heart, if he couldn't pass the exam, his mother would definitely not agree to Shen Xiaoyu entering the door, even if it was in name only, his mother would think of more ways to break up the two of them in the future.
Shen Xiaoyu carried the shelf in one hand and left with the basket at the other end, Qin Huaijin couldn't just enjoy it without paying, he immediately took the book and read it hard, trying to make Shen Xiaoyu's hard work not be in vain.
Shen Xiaoyu went all the way to the Yamen, and there were many people who received the number, Shen Xiaoyu paid the money and got a place, and then went to the market to look for it, and after finding the number, the shelf was put up, and the handkerchief should be placed, and it should be hung up, and when it was all done, the people in the morning market also came up.
Shen Xiaoyu didn't take long to sell five or six handkerchiefs, which made him very happy, the money for renting a stall has been earned, and the rest is the cost of fabric and needlework.
Her handkerchief sells fast, and there is also a girl selling handkerchiefs in the stall on her right, but the embroidery is not as good as Shen Xiaoyu's, seeing Shen Xiaoyu's business prosperous, the girl pouted and was not in a good mood.
One morning, Shen Xiaoyu sold only three more handkerchiefs, and Shen Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to sell them, she was not afraid of wilting or smelly, and she would continue to sell them tomorrow.
Shen Xiaoyu picked up the basket and wanted to put away the remaining three, but as soon as he got it, the handkerchief in his hand was taken away.
As soon as she looked up, Shen Xiaoyu saw that the girl from the stall next to her was looking at her embroidered handkerchief, and said, "The embroidery is good, but this base material and silk thread are not good!" ”
Shen Xiaoyu has also been in the market, and the girl next to her was staring at her stall just now and was about to see through the stall.
"Small business, limited cost, more responsibility." Shen Xiaoyu said with a light smile, and then asked for the handkerchief to be brought back, this girl definitely didn't come to buy goods. And the materials she uses are already good, if it's not good anywhere, the customer is not stupid, so many shops sell handkerchiefs, and they come to her family to buy them!
The girl let go, Shen Xiaoyu took the stall and carried it away, she didn't care if the girl behind her pouted or pouted, anyway, she wouldn't be next to each other if she got the license plate again tomorrow, and everyone sold their own!
When he got home, Qin Huaijin had already cooked porridge on the table, Shen Xiaoyu was just hungry after a busy morning, and he felt comfortable after taking a bite of porridge.
"How's business going today?" Qin Huaijin came over and asked.
Shen Xiaoyu nodded, pointed to his basket, and said, "It's great, I have to continue embroidering today, not just embroidering handkerchiefs." Today, I see that many people are holding the soup lady in their hands, so I will embroider a cover, and it will definitely sell well! ”
Qin Huaijin saw that there were only three left, and he could also see how good Shen Xiaoyu's business was.
"The teacher came just now, saying that he would teach in the evening." Qin Huaijin said.
As soon as he heard that Yu Ping was coming, Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "That's it, in fact, it's useless if I don't listen to it, and I will listen to it while embroidering in the future, and I won't delay it!" ”
Yu Ping's classes have always been relatively relaxed, and Shen Xiaoyu's embroidery is not delayed.
In the afternoon, Shen Xiaoyu went out to buy some bronzing light yarn, which was valuable at first glance, and was generally used to make large-sleeved shirts in summer, which was cool, but few people used it in winter.
Shen Xiaoyu started to stock up now, and it was half cheaper to buy it now than when she bought it in season, but the color would lag a little, but it didn't matter, she didn't use yarn to make clothes.
"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it's time for you to change your clothes." Shen Xiaoyu said.
Qin Huaijin shook his head: "My clothes are not old, don't want that money, but you have grown a little taller, it's time to make yourself a dress." ”
Shen Xiaoyu shook his head: "I don't need it either, I can just pick up a piece of cloth directly under my body." "If you can do it without spending money, you won't spend money.
After dinner, Yu Ping and the scholar came, and Shen Xiaoyu was not there when the two came during the day, and when they saw Shen Xiaoyu at this time, they were also very kind.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the little fish has grown taller again!" The scholar said.
Yu Ping nodded: "Such a big girl just changes quickly, she hasn't seen her for a few days, and she has grown up a little more." ”
Shen Xiaoyu smiled, she will be fifteen after the New Year, and normal girls from other families have already said that they are married!
"Teacher drink tea first." Shen Xiaoyu brought tea.
Yu Ping took a sip of tea and hurried to teach the class, he was also busy at the Hanlin Academy, and now he can leave for a while every night.
