Xu saw the quarrel between the housekeeper Wu Xing and Wang Youhe with his own eyes before, and the invigilator did not respond directly, but continued to wait in the original position. It wasn't until everyone in the courtyard handed over the embroidery that he urged: "When the time comes, if you don't hand in the embroidery, you will be deemed to have given up this competition." ”

After speaking, the invigilator sorted out the embroidery in his hand all the way, and when he sorted it out to the last one, Wang Youhe rushed forward pantingly and put his embroidery on the top.

Xiao Man wanted to see this Wang Youhe's embroidery, so she had been pulling Qin Chun to stand next to the invigilator, she stepped slightly and glanced at Wang Youhe's embroidered cloth.

I saw that the snow-white embroidery cloth was embroidered with large peonies, all the peonies were warm and wanton open, and all the peonies were mostly dark red and silver red, which looked magnificent and atmospheric. It seems that this Wang Youhe is indeed a person who has seen the world, and it is indeed different from the embroidery embroidered by others.

"After all the competitions, everyone can go home and wait for the news, and the final results will be announced in front of Jiangfu tomorrow morning." The invigilator put away all the embroidery and said to the waiting crowd.

"What about the silver bounty? Will the bounty be distributed tomorrow too? Someone in the crowd asked impatiently.

One person got up, and the people next to him couldn't hold back, and asked one after another: "Can the top ten enter Jiangfu?" When the time comes, it will be distributed on the spot, or will it be discussed after entering the Jiang Mansion? ”

"How much money do you have to work in the shops in Jiangfu every month?"

"Can I make clothes for the ladies in the palace?"

Seeing that more and more people were asking questions, and the direction of the questions was becoming more and more uncontrollable, the invigilator cleared his throat, and he raised his voice and announced: "The bounties for the top three in the competition will be distributed on the spot!" The list of those who have been announced to enter Jiangfu will also be announced! Please be sure to show up for all! All matters will be announced tomorrow morning! ”

Xiaoman pulled Qin Chun's sleeve, "Let's go?" ”

Qin Chun nodded, "Hmm! ”

Jiangfu and Liuye Street are very close, so after the two of them left Jiangfu, they went straight to the Manrou embroidery workshop on Liuye Street.

On the way, Xiao Man thought about the questions of the others, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Qin, if you are also in the top ten list tomorrow, will you go to Jiangfu?" ”

Before participating in the competition, she only thought about letting Qin Chun make up for her regrets, let Qin Chun prove herself, and select a few talents who could be used for the store by the way, but she forgot about this stubble, after all, the real purpose of this competition is to select embroidery girls for the Jiang family's shops.

And the bounty of the top three in the competition is so rich, presumably if you enter the Jiang Mansion, the monthly money and silver you get will not be much worse.

Thinking of this, Xiao Man couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, if Qin Chun really chose to go to Jiangfu, then who should he find to replace her current position? Who should take care of the store?

"What do you mean, shopkeeper?"

Qin Chun's words interrupted Xiao Man's thoughts, making her turn sideways, meeting Qin Chun's eyes, looking at the other party's slightly panicked and annoyed appearance, she explained a little confused: "I didn't mean anything, I just thought of it suddenly, so I just asked casually." ”

Hearing this, Qin Chunqian breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth also raised a shallow smile, and the whole person relaxed, she said with a smile: "I thought the shopkeeper didn't want me anymore." ”

"Why do you think that, I never meant that, don't get me wrong." Xiaoman hurriedly explained.

"I know, I was overly concerned just now." Qin Chun laughed again, a little more apologetic. She looked at Xiao Man and said very seriously: "In my most difficult time, it was Shopkeeper Su who saved me, and I can't repay my kindness, I will definitely be sincere to you in my life, concentrate on running my business, and will never betray you." ”

Xiaoman chuckled: "This is not a betrayal, but I think that if I suddenly lose you, my side will definitely mess up." ”

After all, for Qin Chun, going to Jiangfu is a better way out and a better prospect.

"Don't worry, I'm going to follow you in my life!" Qin Chun's tone was like a joke, but Xiao Man knew that the other party was serious, and it was as serious as he could not imagine.

While talking, the two also arrived at the Manrou embroidery workshop. In the past few days, they have been concentrating on preparing for the competition, and Qin Chun has not had time to take care of the store, so Xiaoman specially asked Aunt Yang to come over to help.

As early as when the third branch had not yet opened, Aunt Yang had come here for a while, and now the guys in the store could deal with the things in the branch alone, so Xiao Man asked Aunt Yang to take over the affairs of Qin Chun's hands.

Seeing the two come back, Aunt Yang came out of the store early to greet her, with a smile on her face: "Xiaoman, Qin Chun, is your game over?" How's it going? ”

This look, this look, is like waiting for his little grandson to come back from the school.

Xiao Man couldn't help laughing, she stepped forward to hold Aunt Yang's hand, and teased with a smile: "Aunt Yang, why do I think, you treat me and Sister Qin as your children?" It was as if we were asking what words we had learned in the academy this time. ”

As she spoke, she looked back at Qin Chun and said with a smile, "Sister Qin, are you right?" ”

Qin Chun nodded, "It's really quite similar to what you say." ”

Looking at the ridicule of the two of them, Aunt Yang knew that the two of them should have competed well, and they were relaxed in their hearts, otherwise they would not be in the mood to make such a joke.

Therefore, she also laughed a few times and said, "Come into the house, it's very cold outside, let's go to the store and talk." ”

The three of them entered the store and went straight to the small warehouse in the back.

This used to be a warehouse, but because it was too dark and damp, the cloth was often moldy when stored here, so Qin Chun asked everyone to move the cloth and embroidery thread to the second floor, and it was too much of a pity to be idle, so Qin Chun changed it into a place to rest and drink tea.

The three of them sat down in turn, and Aunt Yang poured the tea that had been prepared for the two of them a long time ago, and said, "Tell me quickly, how is today's game?" ”

"The results will be out tomorrow morning." Qin Chun took a sip of tea and said, "If you are interested, you might as well follow us to Jiangfu to join in the fun, and there will be a branch to share the bounty at that time!" The top three in this competition are all there, and Jiang Fu will directly send gold! ”

As soon as he thought of the lively scene at that time, Qin Chun was excited.

"Is it really gold?" Aunt Yang was very surprised, "Jiang Mansion is so generous, it is going to send gold directly!" ”

Xiao Man smiled, "This is the first competition held by the Jiang family, so naturally we have to create some big news and spread the news." In this way, next year, you only need to notify everyone that the competition will be held, and there will be a large number of embroidery girls to sign up. ”

Aunt Yang nodded as if she didn't understand, and then praised: "It's still Shopkeeper Su who sees it thoroughly!" ”

At the end, she said casually: "However, according to me, you don't want to participate in such a competition to pick people, and we will also hold such a competition next year, wouldn't it be more convenient?" ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Xiao Mandaigo was empowered, and was opened up by Aunt Yang's words.

Yes! Let's just run a contest myself! In this way, not only can you choose the right embroiderer, but also select some talents like Qin Chun and Lao Zhou who can manage the store, and then you can open a branch in other cities, or cooperate with Canglan, you can directly use these people!

In this way, you can save a lot of time!

The more Xiao Man looked, the more excited she became, she got up, grabbed Aunt Yang's hand and shook it twice, and said excitedly: "Aunt Yang, you are really too smart!" ”

And Aunt Yang didn't react to what was going on, she looked at Xiao Man in a daze, and was taken aback by the other party's sudden reaction, "How... What's wrong? ”

"It's okay! I'll tell you about this when I make a detailed plan for this! I'll go back first! Xiao Man wants to rush back as soon as possible now, so that he can record the thoughts in his mind, and then polish them in detail.

Therefore, before Aunt Yang and the others could stay, Xiao Man left in a hurry, her steps were fast, and she almost trotted back to Lu Mansion.

Guarding the door waiting for Xiaoman's return from the game, Pearl hurriedly greeted her, looking at Xiaoman, who was out of breath when she ran, she couldn't help frowning and worriedly asked, "Madam!" What's wrong? ”

"It's fine!" Xiao Man smiled breathlessly, and then trotted to the study, trying to record the thoughts in his head.

But as soon as she ran to the inner courtyard, she was stopped by Jade, and the other party was also anxious: "Madam, the envoy of Canglan Country has been waiting for you at home for a long time, and since you are back, then go and see you!" ”

Envoy of the Canglan Kingdom? How can you come home at this time?

Without waiting for Xiao Man to ask his question, Jade stepped forward again, lowered his voice, and said, "The envoy has been here for a long time, and the slave just heard the sound of the grandfather and the envoy arguing. But there were only the princes and envoys in the house, and the servants did not dare to go in rashly to disturb them, and they didn't know what was going on, so they asked the lady to go and see it quickly! ”

Quarrel?

Xiaoman became more and more incomprehensible, if Canglan wanted to cooperate with him, how could he rashly quarrel with Lu Li? Could it be that the vicissitudes of the war made the minister regret it?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was an angry quarrel in the room again, listening to this unfamiliar voice, it was probably the vicissitudes of time in Jade's mouth.

"Madam, go and see!" Emerald became more and more anxious.

Xiaoman nodded, "I know, I'll go!" ”

She stood there and gasped, immediately sorted out her clothes and hair accessories, and then instructed Jade: "Go to the Wei Mansion and invite Brother Wei here, if Brother Wei is not there, then go and invite Sister Wanrou, do you know?" ”

"But... But what if neither of them is there? Emerald asked weakly.

Xiao Man was amused and angry, so he had to say: "Then just make up a reason, saying that someone is looking for me and calling me out, you know?" ”

Jade nodded hurriedly, then bit her lip and watched Xiao Man walk up the steps with a calm step, lift the curtain and enter the house.
