Xiuyun Building, the second floor, private room.

Xiao Gao went up to the second floor for the first time to serve distinguished guests, and he was excited, and the commission on the second floor was the highest.

Xiao Gaole took out the sixth batch of first-class embroidery and put it on the table.

"Madam, do you see this batch of embroidery to be satisfied?"

Xiao Gao observed that in every batch of embroidery, this lady would always leave one. So far, five pieces have been left, and the commission earned from these five embroideries is worth three months' wages.

"Well, yes, they are all high-quality products, this pair of furniture is brightly colored, strong texture, both form and spirit, wonderful! It's wonderful! Let me pick this double-sided embroidered screen. ”

"Holo." Xiao Gao was happy, as expected, the sixth picture, the corners of Xiao Gao's mouth were almost to the root of his ears, and he said with a smile: "I don't know what else you want to see, madam, I'll get it for you." ”

"I see that these are all Beijing embroidery works that you brought up, I don't know if there are other types?" Xiao Fenghuan asked casually.

"There are other embroidery products, such as southern embroidery and cross embroidery, but the craftsmanship is relatively inferior to that of Beijing embroidery." Between the words, Xiao Gao knew that this lady was a knowledgeable person and a big customer, so naturally she couldn't fool around at will, Xiao Gao continued: "Jindu is the birthplace of Beijing embroidery, so the top embroiderers here are all Beijing embroidery. ”

"Don't hide it from the little master, I am from Chu County, and I have a special feeling for southern embroidery, and I want to pick a few southern embroidery embroidery." Xiao Fenghuan said with a little regret.

"Madam, wait a minute, I'll go get the embroidery from the south." There may be another commission for taking a trip, Xiao Gao was overjoyed at this time, and warned himself that he must serve this distinguished guest well.

Rong Guangting on the side looked at the happy young man, and pursed the corners of his lips, poor young man.

"Mother, when are you going to see it?" Rong Guangting has been watching Xiao Fenghuan here for almost half an hour, and he can't stand still.

"Ting'er!" Xiao Fenghuan shouted, looked around, and said, "You be quiet." Don't be impatient, that's how business is, it's not okay to be impatient. Xiao Fenghuan sighed, his son didn't care about business at all.

"Just say that you want to see if there is a powerful Nanxiu embroidery girl here?" Rong Guangting didn't understand why her mother was so twisting and turning.

"If you want to see Xiuniang directly, Xiuyunlou should be vigilant, we came to Jindu this time, it was originally a situation to investigate. In the future, if you open an embroidery workshop here, you will be a competitor with this embroidery cloud building. Look at their embroidery more, it is considered to understand the opponent in advance, and you must know yourself and the enemy. ”

"Oh." Rong Guangting disagreed, and said, "It's okay for you to investigate, it's useless for me to stay here, I'll leave first." After speaking, he ignored Xiao Fenghuan's drinking, and walked out of Xiuyun Building.

Rong Guangting is the first time to come to Jindu, so naturally he wants to have a good time.

Looking at the back of her son's departure, Xiao Fenghuan sighed, she hated that iron could not become steel. Rong Guangting is an old man, and she blamed herself for not spoiling her child too much, so that he developed this kind of temperament that only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

Xiao Fenghuan sighed silently.

After a while, Xiao Gao came over with a new batch of embroidery and said, "Madam, this is the best southern embroidery in our building, you can see if there is any agreement." ”

Xiao Fenghuan instantly changed into a kind and luxurious smile and carefully examined these new embroideries.

The embroidery material is good, but unfortunately the embroidery is not excellent, and it can only barely be regarded as upper-middle, which cannot meet her psychological expectations.

Xiao Gao didn't see a satisfied look on Xiao Fenghuan's face, in fact, he had expected it, and in his heart, he also felt that these embroideries were really not good enough compared to the previous ones. But the embroidery building is to do business, Xiao Gao said: "Although these embroideries are not top-notch, they are already the best southern embroidery in Jindu." Although Jindu has the best southern embroidery embroidery, it is a pity that her embroidery is not sold, and she only teaches the embroidery art of the ladies in the boudoir. ”

Xiao Gao thought to himself, Miss Chu is good at embroidery in the south, which is also something that all embroidery buildings in Jindu know, and it is nothing to talk about. He said this only in the hope that this lady could understand that there was no embroidery in the cloud building, and there was no other embroidery building.

Hearing Xiao Gao's words, Xiao Fenghuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said casually: "I don't know who the embroidery girl's surname is, can you see it?" Xiao Fenghuan was actually a little excited in her heart, she came to find the top Nanxiu embroidery girl this time, and she wanted to find a few in Xiuyun Building, but their craftsmanship did not make her excited. Now I heard that there is the best southern embroidery girl, so I naturally thought.

"That embroidery lady is a woman who has not left the cabinet, and it is not so easy to meet." Kotaka told the truth.

"I happen to have a daughter at home who wants to learn southern embroidery, and I don't know if the little master can introduce it on my behalf." Xiao Fenghuan looked at him sincerely.

Since he was a distinguished guest, Xiao Gao hesitated for a moment, and already had a plan in his heart: "Madame, wait a minute, I'll ask Mrs. Chu." ”

After Xiao Gao finished speaking, he left the private room, and just now he saw Mrs. Chu delivering insoles downstairs, hoping that she was still here at this time.

After a while, Xiao Fenghuan saw Xiao Gao leading a middle-aged woman to the private room.

"Madam, this is Miss Chu's aunt, if you want to see Miss Chu, you can talk to her." Xiao Gao pointed at Bao and said to Xiao Fenghuan.

"Hello Mrs. Chu." Xiao Fenghuan got up and greeted Bao.

Seeing this noble lady take the initiative to say hello to her, Bao's impression of her was a little better.

"I don't know what Mrs. wants to do with Nanxiu Embroidery?" Bao took the initiative to ask.

"That's right, I have a daughter at home who wants to learn southern embroidery, and I heard that Miss Chu is superb in embroidery, and I want to ask her to be a master, I don't know if it's okay." Xiao Fenghuan said earnestly.

When he heard that the lady in front of him wanted to ask Chu Mengqing to teach Nanxiu, Bao Shi agreed.

Seeing that Bao didn't want to think about it, Xiao Fenghuan was afraid that Miss Chu's embroidery was exaggerated, so she took out a handkerchief, handed it to Bao, and said, "Please also ask Mrs. Chu to ask Miss Chu if she can embroider." ”

Bao knew that this lady wanted to test Chu Mengqing's skills. When each family invites an embroiderer, they have their own ways to consider, and Xiao Fenghuan's move is not abrupt, so he took it and made an appointment with Xiao Fenghuan on the time and place to return the handkerchief.

After Bao left, Xiao Fenghuan also left. As for the embroidery that he was optimistic about before, Xiao Fenghuan didn't take it, and he had no intention of buying it.

Xiao Gao never thought that this lady would be like this, and he was depressed looking at the embroidery she had picked out before.

When Xiao Fenghuan returned to the inn where he settled with Rong Guangting, Rong Guangting had not returned.

Thinking of Rong Guangting, Xiao Fenghuan couldn't help but sigh. Since the death of her husband, Rong Guangting has become more arrogant and less and less popular with her brother and sister-in-law.

The Rong family was originally a famous family in Chu County, and made a fortune by relying on the ancestral southern embroidery art. In the original war with the Di Kingdom, because they were a branch, they were not persecuted as much as the main family, and because they escaped in time, their branch was saved.

After Xiao Fenghuan and the others fled to Rongguo, they relied on their craft to start a small business again and survive. Later, he returned to his homeland, and under the development of his mother-in-law and husband, he established the South Embroidery Workshop. After more than ten years of operation, the South Embroidery Workshop has become the largest embroidery workshop in Chu County.

Xiao Fenghuan knew that the South Embroidery Workshop was going to develop, and he had to return it to his eldest son Rong Guangyao. She believes that with Rong Guangyao's helm and the assistance of her second son, Rong Guangzu, Nanxiu Workshop will have a lot to do in the future. If Rong Guangting is allowed to come to Chu County, business and brotherly relations will be affected.

Xiao Fenghuan handed over the power in his hands, nominally to let Rong Guangting accompany him to travel around the mountains and rivers, but in fact, he was secretly looking for a suitable place to open a branch for Nanxiu Fang, hoping that Rong Guangting could also have a family business. She is most at ease with Rong Guangting, and wants to help him for a few years while she can still do it now, and when she is a hundred years later, she will not be worried about Rong Guangting.
