Yarong nodded, looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the eldest lady has added a little more dignified and mature." ”

Although the embroidered girls belong to the management of the Guo Mansion, they have always been public and private, and Miss Guo and her subordinates are not in the same place as the embroidery girls, and the two sides will not interact for no reason.

Therefore, although Guo Xiaoxiao has known since he can remember, the Guo family is in charge of a large group of embroidery girls, but he basically will not meet them.

Yarong is the embroidery girl who has the most contact with Guo Mansion, and she also has the most trust of Master Guo, and occasionally follows Master Guo into Guo's Mansion, and she knows the two young ladies Guo Xiaoxiao and Guo Qianqian.

Master Guo explained the matter a little, and instructed Yarong to take Guo Xiaoxiao well, so that Guo Xiaoxiao could know about Zijinfang's work and rest and how to manage it as soon as possible.

Yarong smiled and nodded in agreement, she must fulfill her duties and not pay what Master Guo entrusted. Master Guo was very satisfied, and left Zijin Fang without saying anything.

Yarong is an approachable, well-informed and interesting girl, and Guo Xiaoxiao has a very good impression of her.

Yarong was going to take Guo Xiaoxiao to visit Zijin Fang, because it was a top secret of Guo's business, Guo Xiaoxiao asked Xiaolan to wait on the first floor. Xiaolan was very interested, found a seat, and stayed quietly.

First on the first floor, Yarong began to introduce Guo Xiaoxiao. On the first floor, there is a counter and a pantry table and chairs, which is a place to greet customers, and there are also many embroidered finished products.

Guo Xiaoxiao took a closer look, and most of them used silk as the base material. Guo Xiaoxiao asked why.

Yarong said: "Silk as the base can bring out the delicacy of embroidery, and most of the rich ladies like to wear silk, so our sales are greater." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully.

When he went up to the second floor, Guo Xiaoxiao saw eight or nine embroidery girls embroidering in a neat and orderly manner, each of whom occupied an embroidery tent. The third floor is also a place for embroidery women, but it is an embroidery tent for embroidery women. Guo Xiaoxiao asked why.

Ya Rong said with a smile: "Those on the second floor are small embroidery, and it is just right for one person to complete one." The eldest lady looked at the third floor, and it was all big objects. If you want to get the finished product quickly, you need to work day and night and increase the manpower to achieve the effect that the customer wants. ”

"Auntie is right." Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"These are nothing, the eldest lady will know the truth in a few days." Yarong made a gesture of "please", "Miss, please go up to the fourth floor." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and lifted the hem of his skirt and walked up along the handrail. The fourth floor is the place where the finished products of the guests are placed, Guo Xiaoxiao approached, and took a closer look one by one, some of the cuffs were made of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, some of them were made of bird patterns and phoenix patterns, and some of them were gluttonous with ancient beasts.

This finished product really opened Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes, this is a big black robe, the cuffs and neckline are made of rolling gold edges, and the back is the fierce golden gluttony.

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled: "This is also set by the guest?" ”

Yarong smiled: "Yes, this is set by Master Murong, the owner of the Chengnan Money Village. ”

"Interesting."

Guo Xiaoxiao first wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, then stepped forward to touch the lively gluttony, and said: "The embroidery is excellent, vivid, dare to ask my aunt whose work this is?" ”

"It's a work of embroidery for women."

"Zipei." Guo Xiaoxiao muttered, "It's a clever girl." ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

After Guo Xiaoxiao finished reading all the finished products, Yarong said: "The fifth floor is an aerial observation deck, and sometimes the lord will take guests upstairs to look at the scenery as a pastime. Would you like to go up and have a look? ”

Guo Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

This place of Zijinfang is really wonderful, people stand on it, and they can overlook the scenery of half of Yangzhou.

"Under the sky, above the nine heavens." Guo Xiaoxiao said.

Ya Rong smiled, and the embroidery girl behind her handed over a cup of tea, Ya Rong took it and served it carefully: "Miss, please use tea." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took it with a smile, opened the lid directly and took a sip, but she didn't swallow it, the tea was still in her mouth, her brows were frowned, and her face was very ugly.

After a while, she swallowed the tea in her mouth bit by bit before she said, "What kind of tea is this?" ”

The embroidered girl who served the tea just now bowed her head and said, "Miss Hui, this is Tieguanyin." ”

Although this tea made her "miserable", she was not angry, and only said lightly, "No wonder it is so bitter".

Yarong said with a smile: "The master specially ordered me to arrange this tea for the guests who entered the store." ”

"Why is that?"

Yarong said: "The master said that this tea is interpreted as 'eating hard, only then can you become a master'." ”

Yarong knew Guo Xiaoxiao's temperament, so she promised the embroidered girl to present this Tieguanyin, and she was sure that she would not be mad. Sure enough, if Guo Qianqian is replaced, I am afraid that I will have to drop the cup at this time.

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Auntie, ask some words, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

"What is it about?"

"It's about this tea."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I think this tea is very bitter, although it has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, but its bitterness is not acceptable to ordinary people." Guo Xiaoxiao walked to the embroidered girl and put the teacup back on the plate, "People who are old and have a little experience feel that 'the bitterness of this tea is not bitter', but 'bitter and sweet'." However, young people have always known their 'bitterness of foresight' and their 'sweetness of stamina'. ”

"What do you mean, Miss?"

Guo Xiaoxiao paused and said, "Replace this tea with something else." ”

"I wonder what Miss is going to change to?" Yarong was a little worried, after all, this was set by Master Guo before.

Guo Xiaoxiao saw her concerns and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll make plans when I go back to my home to show my father." ”

Yarong nodded, didn't say anything, and sent Guo Xiaoxiao downstairs.

Guo Xiaoxiao went to the first floor and saw Xiaolan talking and laughing with a few embroidery girls.

Guo Xiaoxiao walked over and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Several embroidered girls immediately stood up from their seats, not daring to speak.

Xiaolan smiled: "This is my young lady." ”

A few embroidery girls hurriedly said, "Hello, Miss." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them as if they were afraid of her, so he said, "Do you work weekdays?" ”

A few embroidery girls did not dare to answer.

Yarong stepped forward and said, "This is Master Guo's eldest daughter, what are you afraid of!" ”

Several embroidery girls all looked surprised.

Guo Xiaoxiao said to Yarong: "Maybe they are not used to seeing me for the first time. ”

Yarong smiled and said to the embroidery girls: "The eldest lady will be half of the family of Zijin Fang in the future, you have to respect her as much as you respect the master, do you hear clearly?" ”

Several show girls said in unison: "I heard clearly." ”

"Let's get to work."

"Yes."

After Guo Xiaoxiao and Yarong said goodbye, they went out of Zijin Fang with Xiaolan.

Lilac Lane in July is not as dazzling as when I first came to Yangzhou, lilac lilacs are hanging all over the branches, and the wonderful fragrance of flowers surrounds this alley, even the soil is fragrant.

Now it is the falling flowers, Guo Xiaoxiao walked over, picked up a few fallen flowers on the ground, and put them in a handkerchief.

Smelled carefully, although it was red, the fragrance was still there. She bent down again, and picked up a lot, and when the place was gone, she moved somewhere else, and picked it up, and suddenly a hand appeared in front of her.

She looked up and saw that this person's facial features were upright, and there was some warmth between her eyebrows, and she said, "It's you." ”

Yuan Shaocheng also glanced up at her and did not reply.

She straightened up: "Do you like to pick this lilac?" ”

He continued to look down and pick it up: "This anther is mild, and it has the effect of calming people's breath and concentrating. ”

"I've picked up a few, give it to you."

"Not necessarily."

Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself: If you refuse people without thinking about it, you always speak coldly, no wonder you have no friends.

At this time, Yuan Shaoyin walked towards Yuan Shaocheng with her pet in her arms.

"Brother!" Yuan Shaoyin shouted.

Yuan Shaocheng didn't bother and picked it up by himself. He thought to himself: such a big person, he always follows him like when he was a child, and calls him brother all over the street.

Yuan Shaoyin glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao, stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Shaocheng and said, "Brother, help me with my little revisit." ”

"The sound is so loud that even Wang Abo, who sells baked cakes on the street, can hear it." Yuan Shaocheng said.

Yuan Shaoyin pouted: "Oh, you always laugh at me." I don't care, you have to give me a follow-up visit. ”

"Don't you see I'm busy?"

"When are you not busy? I'm busy with this for a while, and I don't know which grandma and uncle to go to see a doctor later. ”

"Then you can show it the rut."

"Brother, you are perfunctory to me again." Yuan Shaoyin pulled him to be coquettish, "Brother, just show him." Brother, good brother! ”

Yuan Shaocheng said angrily: "It's already over, and you're still so childish, you're not afraid of people looking at your jokes." ”

Yuan Shaoyin caught a glimpse of Guo Xiaoxiao, of course she knew that Yuan Shaocheng was talking about her. When Guo Xiaoxiao heard this, he was about to leave, Yuan Shaoyin said: "This sister won't laugh at me." ”

Yuan Shaoyin stepped forward and grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's arm, and smiled at Yuan Shaocheng: "Yes, sister?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, originally she didn't plan to listen to the chatter of the two siblings, but who knew that Yuan Shaoyin pulled her back. She can't leave if she wants to, Yuan Shaoyin is also a self-cooked, she is not afraid of life at all, and she can talk to anyone about a few copper plates.

Yuan Shaocheng knew that Xiao Yan's recovery was extremely strong, and his previous injuries had long been healed, but Yuan Shaoyin was always at ease.

So he reluctantly took the little one, opened its fur and looked at it: "It has been healed." ”

He put Xiao Xiao on the ground, and Xiao Xiao immediately jumped around alive.

Yuan Shaocheng said: "Look, there's nothing wrong. ”

Yuan Shaoyin smiled contentedly and stepped forward to play with Xiao Yan. Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that Guo Qianqian was catching birds on the outskirts of the city a month ago, when Guo Qianqian inadvertently shot a dog, could it be this one?

Guo Xiaoxiao frowned, thinking in his heart, should I go up and apologize to Yuan Shaoyin, or should I slip away as soon as possible?

After some ideological struggle, Guo Xiaoxiao decided to go. Since it has been so long, Yuan Shaoyin can't remember it, so what else is he mentioned. Besides, Guo Qianqian is wrong about this, and Guo Qianqian will apologize if he wants to apologize.

As soon as the front foot was about to leave, he heard the voice of Da Zhe: "Young Master! ”

I saw Da Zhe panting and running over, and said, "Young master, a batch of new medicinal materials has arrived, and the merchant is waiting for you to inspect the goods." ”

"Okay, I'll go back." Yuan Shaocheng handed over the cloth bag containing lilacs to Da Zhe.

He got up and straightened his clothes, preparing to walk in the direction of the pharmacy. Da Zhe caught a glimpse of Guo Xiaoxiao and exclaimed in surprise: "Miss Guo, I didn't expect you to be here." ”
