Chapter 21 Splendid Workshop

His Royal Highness King Rui stayed in the emperor's imperial study for a whole hour, and later accompanied the emperor to dinner before leaving the palace.

King Rui is the only one of several adult princes who does not have any office.

So no matter how ridiculous and nonsense His Royal Highness King Rui has been over the years, the emperor has been so tolerant.

However, every time His Royal Highness King Rui entered the palace, the emperor would pull him to nag and reprimand him for a long time, and after a long time, everyone would know the emperor's habits.

At the beginning, several nobles in the palace who had princes and princes who were about the same age as King Rui were still a little worried, and after finding an opportunity to test it a few times, they didn't take it to heart.

Although King Rui is said to be born by the first queen, he has a bad reputation, and secondly, he has neither real position nor real power, which is really not a threat to everyone.

If he divides his mind and energy to prevent it, it is better to pretend in front of his father and outsiders, and show the gentlemanly demeanor of brothers, friends and brothers.

......

When Lu Ming returned to the palace from outside with a drunken body, Qin Moyu had just sat down and took a sip of tea.

"Where are you fooling around?" Qin Moyu looked at Lu Ming, who was helped in by the little servant, with a look of disgust.

"Hurry up and prepare a decanting soup and send it to Second Master Lu's room."

When Lu Ming finished drinking the sobering soup, took a bath and changed his clothes, Qin Moyu had been waiting for him in the study for a while.

"What's going on over there these days?"

"Marquis Jingning went to Willow Hutong two days ago. Then Yi Xun went out of the city two days ago, but our people were lost. Lu Ming said and glanced at Qin Moyu.

"Lost?" Qin Moyu was a little surprised.

He understands the skills of these people under his command, and it is not that he can make him follow the people who are lost, but it is not casual that anyone can have the ability to get rid of their tracking, it seems that this son of the world is really not simple.

"Yes! Not long after leaving the city, I didn't see anyone after a few bends in Yuxigou. Lu Ming obviously had the same thoughts as Qin Moyu, and felt that this Yi Xun prince was not simple.

"Do you think our people have been exposed?" Lu Ming asked.

"I can't rule out this possibility......" The folding fan in Qin Moyu's hand knocked on the table with a bang: "However, it doesn't matter if it is discovered, it doesn't matter if he wants to find out the identity of our people, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

"That's right."

"King An's side should pay more attention and tell everyone to cheer up. The city gate also pays attention to see when this prince will return to Beijing, and then change people to continue to star, just don't get too close. ”

"Okay."

"King Qi is relatively low-key these days, and he hasn't noticed anything abnormal for the time being." Lu Ming continued.

"Then find him something to do." He waved a chessboard in front of him, and he stared at the endgame on it in deep thought, and said casually.

"Then there is the injury of Lingnan Wang Shizi, and there seem to be no clues and results on the surface. However, our people found that the king of Lingnan was secretly in the embroidery room in Chajing. Lu Ming also spoke, while stretching his neck to look at the chessboard in front of him, seeing that he was holding the chess piece and falling down, he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, this can't fall here, I think it should be put here?" ”

Qin Moyu glanced at him, just his bad chess hand, he still likes to join in the fun every time, I really don't want to say anything about him. Without stopping, he landed the pieces firmly in the chosen position.

Lu Ming glanced at it twice and said, "It seems to be okay!" Ha ha! ”

"Embroidery room? It seems that Uncle Huang has some clues in his hands, and he arranged for someone to keep an eye on it secretly. Also, try to help where you can. Qin Moyu hooked the corners of his mouth and said lazily.

"What has the South Vietnamese envoy been doing lately?" He left a son again.

"Except for the last time Leng Feng found out that they met with Princess An's brother, there has been no movement these days."

"Find a way to let Uncle Huang know about this." Qin Moyu said.

......

Xiangbao Road is the street where large and small embroidery houses and various textile shops are concentrated in Beijing, and there are more than a dozen embroidery houses on the long street.

The splendid workshop was only a few years ago in this street to take root, the shop is not too big, but there are more than 100 young embroidery girls in the embroidery room.

The embroidery workers of the embroiderers in this embroidery room are excellent, and the fresh patterns of the nobles in Beijing are generally spread from the splendid workshop and the other two time-honored embroidery rooms.

The business of the embroidery room is very good, but the owner of the splendid workshop is a really shrewd, never let the embroidery girls too tired, the embroidery girls in the embroidery room are working in shifts, the eyes and hands are very well protected, and the embroidery work is better.

The wages of living well are naturally higher than those of other embroidery rooms, and embroidery girls are more willing to work here.

It's just that the recruitment requirements of the Splendid Workshop are also very high, and it is difficult for ordinary embroiderers to enter the Splendid Workshop. And the embroidery girls who entered the splendid workshop were easily reluctant to leave.

Su Xiaoyu has been introduced to Jinxiufang for three or four years since she was thirteen years old, and girls of her age are already married, but Su Xiaoyu is the main laborer of the family because she works in Jinxiufang, plus she has been sensible since she was a child, filial and well-behaved, and her parents are reluctant to marry her off early.

It's just that now Su Xiaoyu is a sixteen-year-old girl, and her parents are afraid that they will delay her if they drag it out any longer, so they set her a family at the beginning of the year.

The man was very satisfied with Su Xiaoyu, so the two agreed to let Su Xiaoyu pass through at the end of the year.

So Su Xiaoyu became even busier after the beginning of the year, in addition to working in the Splendid Workshop, he also had to pick up the lamp to make the wedding dress every day after returning home.

On this day, it was still early to get off work, and Su Xiaoyu was going to go shopping on the street and pick up some embroidery threads or something to bring back.

Xue Yao, who was good with Su Xiaoyu on weekdays, happened to have nothing to do, and decided to accompany her to go shopping.

"How is Xiaoyu's dowry embroidered?" When Su Xiaoyu picked the embroidery thread, Xue Yao asked.

"It's going to take some time." Su Xiaoyu's face was slightly red, and he was silent for a moment before whispering.

"Little girl, this is shy!" Xue Yao saw that she only lowered her head and fiddled with the embroidery thread on the stall, and she didn't dare to look at her, so she laughed and teased her.

Xue Yao is two years older than Su Xiaoyu, and the children are two or three years old.

Su Xiaoyu embroiders well, is diligent, and has a kind and docile temperament, and often helps everyone with work on weekdays, rushing to work, etc., and the popularity in the Splendid Workshop is still very good.

Although Xue Yao is said to be the child's mother, after all, there is not much difference in age between Xue Yao and Su Xiaoyu, and secondly, Xue Yao's mother's family and Su Xiaoyu's family happen to be next-door neighbors, so the relationship with her is also relatively close.

Xue Yao had a lively temperament when she was at home, and now as a person who has come over, she doesn't feel anything about this topic.

It's just that Su Xiaoyu is still just a little girl after all, and she is still a little uncomfortable mentioning this topic, let alone on the street.

"Sister Yao-" Being teased by Xue Yao, feeling that someone next to her was looking at them, Su Xiaoyu became even more shy and begged for mercy in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, okay, sister, let's pick the embroidery thread first."

"Hmm!" Su Xiaoyu responded, quickly picked out the embroidery thread, and pulled Xue Yao to leave quickly.

After buying the embroidery thread, the two of them went shopping again, picked out some other things together, and then parted ways at the street entrance.

After Xue Yao and Su Xiaoyu separated, they were going to take a detour to the vegetable market and bring some vegetables back by the way.

This morning, my mother-in-law took her son to go to relatives, and she would not be able to go home until tomorrow, if it weren't for that, Xue Yao would have had more time to accompany Su Xiaoyu to go shopping.

Xue Yao had just finished buying vegetables when she was stopped at the intersection.
