XVII. Preparations for this are on the agenda (2)
An Sijin had just changed into men's clothes, and Huan'er came back, her face was a little strange.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
She straightened the folds of her cuffs and waited for Huan'er to answer.
"The housekeeper knew what the young lady meant, and now the people were waiting outside. And Wu Niangna, except for receiving the design drawings, she didn't talk to Huan'er at all, no matter what Huan'er asked her, she didn't pay attention to it. ”
Although, An Sijin had long expected that Huan'er would not find Wu Niang with any results, but he didn't expect that this Wu Niang was so arrogant that she didn't even want to say a word.
"It's okay, I'll go find her, she won't ignore me! Don't follow the two of you, I'm in the house anyway, I'll go back as soon as I go. ”
The two girls nodded yes and watched the young lady go out of the room.
The old housekeeper waited respectfully in the courtyard, and when he saw her looking like a man, he asked, "Young Master is going out today?" ”
"No, I'm going to talk to Wu Niang, it's better if the housekeeper is here, please lead the way."
After the butler nodded, the two strolled out of the courtyard.
As he walked, he asked in a low voice on the side, "The young master asked Huan'er to ask about the old slave embroidery girl before, but it has something to do with that Wu Niang?" ”
"Yes, you can listen to it later, and you will know what is going on, as well as the matter of the embroidered girl, please help me inquire about it as soon as possible, butler."
"Yes."
The two walked to the courtyard where the housekeeper lived, this courtyard was called the Sifang Courtyard, the east courtyard was the housekeeper's residence, the south courtyard was inhabited by Wu Niang, and the other two courtyards were inhabited by Mama Wang and Mama Li, who used to take care of the lady and the old lady.
After An Sijin saw Wu Niang, he was still a little surprised, he thought that Wu Niang was a woman in her early forties, but she didn't expect to be so young, and she only looked like she was in her early thirties.
Looking back, it was probably because the queen mother went early, so she retired from the palace early at a good age.
Wu Niang saw the two coming, but she didn't stop the embroidery work in her hand, and continued to sew quickly.
It wasn't until An Sijin stepped forward to report her name that she got up and saluted without humility or arrogance.
"I don't know how many years Wu Niang has been in the General's Mansion?"
Don't look at Wu Niang's youth, she is old when she speaks, "The old man has been in the General's Mansion for more than 12 years. ”
"Then Wu Niang is interested in working out of the house? I admit the love of the general, can I make a difference in this Jingzhou Chang'an Street, I am missing Wu Niang, you are an important role? ”
Wu Niang stopped the embroidery work in her hand, raised her eyes and looked at the young man with the bundled hair in front of her carefully, and wondered, "May I ask the young master to go to Chang'an Street to do business, what does he have to do with the old slave?" ”
An Sijin told her about her thoughts and expectations of the store.
Wu Niang listened carefully for a long time before she roughly understood, and was a little puzzled, "The young master wants to be a garment store for nobles?" ”
She began to correct Wu Niang's unpopular thoughts, "No, how can it be said that it is a ready-to-wear store?" I want to focus on artworks, and there is only one piece of each set that is carefully designed, and it is never sold in batches. ”
Wu Niang nodded, "Let the old slave have a moment to think about it." ”
She motioned to the housekeeper with her eyes, and the housekeeper took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed them into Wu Niang's hand, "This is the young master rewarding you." ”
Wu Niang didn't know how to be polite, and directly pocketed the silver ticket.
"The old slave will give the young master an answer tonight."
An Sijin nodded, said hello to the housekeeper, and walked out of the square courtyard alone.
