Almost four or five days later, Xia Nansheng sent someone to inform Yang Xiaotao that the matter of the embroidery girl and the shop had been completed, so that she would go to the town to find him if she had time.

When Yang Xiaotao received the news, she was still surprised, this Xia Nansheng is really efficient, I thought it would take some time.

Raising his eyes and looking at the desk in the room, Yu Wenxiu, who was handling the letters in his hand, the early morning sun shined through the window paper, shining on his beautiful and serious face, there was a hazy beauty, like a painting.

During this time, Bai Ye would always hold a bunch of letters every day and appear in front of Yuwen Xiu, Yuwen Xiu would always be busy for a long time when dealing with these things, and sometimes several people in black would appear in Yuwen Xiu's room to discuss something together.

When Yuwen Xiu dealt with things, he didn't deliberately hide it from Yang Xiaotao, and Yang Xiaotao naturally wouldn't participate, after all, what the killer had to deal with, which she could understand.

"Minor repairs." Yang Xiaotao looked at the busy people tentatively and called softly.

Yu Wenxiu looked at the letter and did not raise his head, but the corners of his mouth could not hide it and raised slightly, "Say it." ”

Every time Yang Xiaotao calls himself like this, there must be other things, but he enjoys Yang Xiaotao being coquettish to himself.

"It's the last time I asked Xia Nansheng, and now I have eyebrows, he asked someone to bring a message and let me go to town." Thinking that the clothes she drew would be made immediately, Yang Xiaotao was still looking forward to it.

"Let the white night accompany you!"

Yuwen Xiu's flat tone surprised Yang Xiaotao, usually as long as he mentions Xia Nansheng, this guy's face is like the bottom of a pot, what's wrong today? Yang Xiaotao looked suspiciously at Yu Wenxiu, who was still reading the letter in his hand.

Probably sensing Yang Xiaotao's gaze, Yu Wenxiu put down the half-read letter in his hand, raised his head and said with a malicious face, "Why don't I accompany you?" ”

Yang Xiaotao looked at Shangyu Wenxiu, and immediately waved her small hand and said, "No, no, you're busy." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Xiaotao had already slipped out of the door quickly and shouted, "White night!" ”

Immediately following Bai Ye, he had already appeared in front of Yang Xiaotao, and asked with his body, "Madam, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Let's go to town."

Watching Bai Ye drive the carriage with Yang Xiaotao and disappear in the window, Yuwen Xiu's originally relaxed face was slightly lacked with a trace of sadness, and the dazzling words on the letter on the desk, Xiao Wang Ye knew that the servant girl who took away that back then.

It seems that things are going to happen soon, I heard that the second prince also came to Xianghe Town, it was the white clouds brought by Xia Nansheng that day, the emperor attaches great importance to the current Prime Minister Xia, and Xianghe Town is Xia Jingzhong's former residence, so it will naturally be arranged, but why Xia Jingzhong has not let Xia Nansheng participate in the imperial court, but let him take care of the family business, which Yuwenxiu is puzzled.

If Xia Jingzhong didn't do anything wrong, he should be a perfect man, the emperor's trust allowed him to climb to a high position smoothly, and it was also because he had been loyal for so many years, the emperor wanted to promote Xia Nansheng, but he directly refused.

For this reason, Xia Nansheng also asked his father, but Xia Jingzhong did not explain, but just shook his head with a sigh.

Fortunately, Xia Nansheng is a person who doesn't like restraint, if he is really allowed to go to court every day and deal with the affairs of the court, he can't stand it.

At the gate of the Xia Mansion, Bai Ye skillfully pulled the rope, and when the carriage stopped, he helped Yang Xiaotao get out of the carriage.

This is Yang Xiaotao's first time coming to Xiafu, although she has always known it, she has never been here again.

From the outside, this summer house is a very simple and elegant courtyard, and the plum trees planted on the periphery of the courtyard have fallen off, but it is also a unique scenery.

Bai Ye stepped forward and said to the doorkeeper, "My wife was invited to come, and I am tired of informing you." ”

The little guy glanced at Yang Xiaotao and Bai Ye, then turned around and went in to pass the word.

Soon Xia Nansheng came out, and after seeing Yang Xiaotao, he smiled and led them into the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao, who is accustomed to seeing the mud tile houses in the village, looked at the courtyard of the rich family for the first time, the beautiful stone road, a lot of flowers and plants are planted on both sides, and the artificial rockery is carved, and a little farther away, you can faintly see the small bridge and flowing water, the long pavilion and other buildings, after walking a long way, you stopped in a place that looks like an attic.

Yang Xiaotao felt that Xia Nansheng was really a person who would enjoy it, this courtyard should be rarely used, but there were many people who saw the appearance of the girl along the way, including the flowers and plants that were carefully cared for.

"Little Peach, please inside!" Xia Nansheng made a gesture of please.

Yang Xiaotao was not polite, and walked directly into the attic gate with Bai Ye.

As soon as she stepped into the house, she also saw a little, the tables and chairs of these large families are very exquisite, and the entrance is a screen facing each other, in the thoughts of the ancients, this screen plays a role in blocking the wind and warding off evil spirits and strengthening privacy.

Below is to put a long case, in front of the case is a four-idle table, the left and right sides are equipped with Taishi chairs, the ancients to the right main, left guest or left up and right down as the order, all to the "order" to sit.

Yang Xiaotao looked up and saw that the calligraphy and painting in the middle hall was a portrait of an old man, and there were banners on both sides, and at a glance, he knew that this must be a celebrity calligraphy and painting.

On both sides of the center of the hall, symmetrical tables and chairs are placed.

After reading all this, Yang Xiaotao understood what it was like to be elegant and solemn, dignified and orderly.

Xia Nansheng motioned for Yang Xiaotao to sit down casually and said softly, "Serve tea." ”

Bai Ye stood quietly behind the chair Yang Xiaotao was sitting on.

Soon a woman who looked like a girl entered the house with a tray, and the girl skillfully put down the two tea cups and withdrew.

Xia Nansheng smiled and said, "Little peach, you try it, this is a new Pu'er tea." ”

Yang Xiaotao didn't understand tea, and she didn't know how to taste it, but she just tasted it and said, "Good tea." ”

Before Xia Nansheng could speak, Yang Xiaotao said again, "Nansheng, I heard that the embroidery girl has already been arranged?" Can you take me to see it first? ”

Xia Nansheng didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to be so anxious, and wanted to take the opportunity to talk to her, but since she had already spoken, she smiled and said, "Xiao Tao, don't worry, I thought that you came all the way, you should rest first, since this is the case, then I will let people prepare the car." ”

"No need, I'm here in a carriage, if Nan Sheng doesn't mind." Xia Nansheng's yard is indeed very beautiful, but Yang Xiaotao is more anxious about clothes.

When Xia Nansheng just wanted to say yes, Bai Ye on the side said without giving face, "Madam, the pavilion master doesn't like others to use his things. ”

Yang Xiaotao was suddenly embarrassed, this Yuwen Xiu has a lot of quirks, isn't it just a carriage, and he won't die if he sits for a while, so he can only look at Xia Nansheng embarrassedly.

Xia Nansheng was not angry, but still said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll just ride a horse." Then he called another servant and commanded him to lead his horse to the door and wait for him.

Then he led Yang Xiaotao and Bai Ye to walk in the direction they were going back and forth.

Xia Nansheng's horse is a snow-white horse, Yang Xiaotao took a look at it, and she liked it very much, and touched the snow-white skin on the horse, which was really beautiful.

Xia Nansheng saw Yang Xiaotao with stars in her eyes and quipped, "This horse is called Aoxue, Xiao Tao likes it so much, why don't I give it to you." ”

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need, a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others, and I can't ride a horse." With the support of Bai Ye, he got into the carriage.

With Xia Nansheng leading the way, he soon stopped in a small alley, Xia Nansheng said that this embroidery village was temporarily made by him, and several embroidery girls he found also lived here.

Yang Xiaotao followed Xia Nansheng into the alley and said, "Embroidery girls live here?" ”

"Yes, these embroidery girls were sent by someone before I left, and the residence also had to be arranged, in order to save trouble, I asked people to prepare the show and the residence together."

Xia Nansheng didn't care, but it made Yang Xiaotao's eyes light up, these embroidery girls were afraid that they were dug out from Xia Nansheng's own hands, so there should be no need to worry about the craftsmanship, and since Xia Nansheng can use them with confidence, he doesn't need to worry.

After walking about a hundred meters, they stopped at the gate of an ordinary courtyard, Xia Nansheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a woman opened the door.

As soon as the woman opened the door and saw Xia Nansheng outside the door, she politely said, "Boss!" ”

Xia Nansheng nodded at the woman with a gentle smile, then turned to Yang Xiaotao and said, "This is Aunt Yao, I arranged to take care of the embroidery girls' daily life." ”

Then he took Yang Xiaotao to the yard, Xia Nansheng simply introduced the pattern of the yard to Yang Xiaotao, the front yard is a show workshop for embroidery girls to work, and the back is where embroidery girls sleep and eat.

Xia Nansheng asked Aunt Yao to inform the embroidery girls to come over, and Yang Xiaotao looked around in the show, and I have to say that Yuwen Xiu is very well prepared, and everything is extremely well prepared.

Soon Aunt Yao led five young girls out, Yang Xiaotao was speechless, these girls looked very young, and they couldn't help but be suspicious.

Xia Nansheng seemed to see Yang Xiaotao's concerns, and explained: "These embroidery girls have learned embroidery since childhood, and you can rest assured in craftsmanship." As soon as these words fell, he pointed to one of the younger girls and said, "Even Xiao Ji, who is only fifteen years old, has ten years of embroidery skills." ”

Yang Snack looked at Xiaoxue who was named and a little shy in surprise, it was too exaggerated, and he started embroidering at the age of five.

After that, Xia Nansheng introduced four other people, one with some freckles on his face was called Xiao Ji, a little chubby one called Yuanzi, the oldest one was called Ah Yun, and the last one was also the most beautiful among the several people called Yaya.

"Xiao Tao, these people are all brought by Ah Yun, if you have any problems with embroidery in the future, just tell Ah Yun directly." After Xia Nansheng finished speaking, he called Ah Yun.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Ah Yun and asked, "Nansheng, how do they count the days they work?" ”

Xia Nansheng replied, "On the rest day of January and January, if there is anything important, I can discuss it with you." ”

Yang Xiaotao continued to ask, "How is the salary calculated?" ”

Xia Nansheng smiled and said, "It's up to you, I used to give two taels of silver a month to these embroidery girls." ”

It's so expensive, Yang Xiaotao frowned, but Yang Xiaotao quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Ah Yun, I will give you three taels of silver per person every month, but you have to do a good job for me." ”

Yang Xiaotao is extremely confident in her design, as long as these people do it well, she will not be disadvantaged in terms of silver.

As soon as Ah Yun heard Yang Xiaotao's words, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will do it well." ”
