After sending away her uncle Liu Shiyi, Eleven Niang asked Ai Lu: "Where have you seen Dengzi?" ”

The little girl's expression was a little gloomy: "At that time, my father was still alive, and I was performing on the street with my father, and I saw that the idle man in the market took advantage of the large number of people to do something to the girl, and the girl scolded the idle man as a disciple." ”

is also a poor child, should be born in poverty, life is not stable, and young and sluggish, only to become a slave, eleven Niang saw Ai Lu mention the biological father and red eyes, deliberately teasing her no longer think about those sad things: "Let's go to the needlework room to visit Qiao Niang, okay?" ”

Ai Lu cheered and slapped his slap and jumped high.

Eleven Niang, a simple child, even though he had a rough childhood, happiness came easily and easily, which is also a blessing.

Qiao Niang followed Eleven Niang to the Liu House, and briefly told her life experience, she followed her mother's surname Zhang, and never knew who her father was, when she was four or five years old, she began to be taught by her mother, learning to chisel female red, very talented, her mother was hired by the Liang family to embroider the mother, because the mother and daughter depended on each other and had no family dependence, she had been living in the Liang family, her mother and the mother of the East family were like sisters, and later her mother died, Tong recognized Qiao Niang as a righteous daughter, because Tong only had two sons, so she treated Qiao Niang as her own daughter.

As for his father-in-law Liang Song, he was very ambitious a few years ago, when he was in Yangzhou, because of business matters, he had a feud with the owner of another clothing store, and the two did not give in to each other, but since the other party married his daughter to the local magnate as a concubine, he had a backer, and with the help of the backer, he finally let Liang Song step on the trap and lose all his family property, not to mention that he could not gain a foothold in Yangzhou.

Qiao Niang first followed her father-in-law to Luoyang, opened a shop also known as Ni Zhen Clothing Workshop, after Liang Song several years of painstaking management, it gradually improved, and until Qiao Niang developed his own superb technology of simulating paving cui, Liang Song thought that coming to Chang'an was more developed, so he moved to Kyoto.

But I don't want to see that I have made a name for myself and have a bright future, and I have offended the powerful again.

If it weren't for the coincidence of Eleven Niang's righteous help, Qiao Niang would definitely be forcibly taken to Yuanfu, and even her life would not be guaranteed, and without her in the clothing shop, Liang Song could only close the door, maybe there would be no day to turn over.

Qiao Niang is very grateful to Eleven Niang, so in her needlework room in the willow house, she will carefully teach the needle skills to a few embroidery girls who were instructed by Eleven Niang to help her embroider, and conscientiously complete the custom embroidery skirt, intending to rely on her own craftsmanship to earn rich benefits for Eleven Niang, which can be regarded as a slight repayment.

Eleven Niang was particularly surprised, but in just two days, the embroidery girl in the house was able to grasp the essence, and it seemed that the embroidery was patterned, and it was difficult to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages from Qiao Niang.

"Your embroidery lady is exquisite in needle chisel female red, and knows how to match colors, so after a little guidance, you can master the skills." Qiao Niang explained: "It's just that in addition to the needle skills, the key is the embroidery dyeing, otherwise it is impossible to achieve the beauty of the cui, this dyeing secret recipe is after years of exploration before it is matched, there are a few kinds of color is very rare, the proportion is also more complicated, I can write into words, handed over to the little lady for storage." ”

Eleven Niang in the needle chisel female red, although it is not even a needle is not very stable, but also know the skills, of course, to pay attention to the needle hand, different clothing needs to use what kind of embroidery thread, color matching, etc., are also to determine the quality of embroidery, and even some skilled embroidery girls, must also be good at painting embroidery samples, otherwise you can only use ready-made patterns, can not bring forth the new, there are shops in the market that specialize in selling embroidery samples, but in the Liu family, embroidery samples do not need to be purchased, not to mention Eleven Niang, Xiao and Liu Xiaojin are good at painting, this is also the embroidery on Xiao's dress, The reason why it often attracts the admiration of other noble ladies.

Eleven Niang once saw in a miscellaneous book that most of the embroidery girls in Jiangnan will dye their own embroidery threads, so the embroidery is more exquisite and has its own style.

And Qiao Niang, undoubtedly an all-rounder, not only has superb needle skills, but also good at drawing, can actually dye the market can not see the line color, no wonder Ni Zhen clothing workshop can be famous in a short period of time, attracting many ladies to compete for clothing.

"Qiao Niang is literate?" Eleven Niang asked.

"I have been taught by my stepmother, and I have learned a thousand words and filial piety."

"You don't have to give me the embroidery dyeing formula." Eleven Niang said: "I just have a general idea that day, let you teach skills and hired workers, but also consider the need to expand the business, these two days and think carefully, the future embroidery of the needle color matching of course needs your guidance, but the most critical dyeing party, you know it yourself, if there is a fate in the future, you can accept as an apprentice, and then consider whether to teach dyeing thread, it is up to you to decide." ”

Eleven Niang knows Qiao Niang's situation, although Tong treats her well, Liang Song's father-in-law does not treat her as if she is his own, Qiao Niang has no other support, this craft is the foundation of her life, and Eleven Niang does not really want to do business for profit, so naturally she will not take away the foundation of people's food and clothing.

Qiao Niang was grateful, but she couldn't express her gratitude in words, and she had to kneel down again.

Eleven Niang stretched out her hand to support her: "Qiao Niang is literate, later, I will let someone hand you a few volumes of painting theory, you may wish to improve your painting art when you are idle, if you have any questions, ask me directly, I am not good at needle chisel, but for painting art, I can still point out one or two." ”

Qiao Niang came to Chang'an not long ago, and did not know the aristocratic personnel of Kyoto, that day I heard Eleven Niang talk about her family background, she only knew that it was everyone's ladies, until she came to the willow house, listened to the embroidery girls talk, only to understand that this Liu Eleven Niang is a real student of Yingyang, a talented girl with the same name as Queen Pei, and her heart is more admirable, glad that she was blessed by misfortune, and now she was told that she could point to the art of painting, and the flattered mood can be imagined.

"With these embroidery helpers, I don't know how long it will take to complete the orders I received before?" Eleven Niang asked.

"Three months is enough." There was even a choked sound when answering.

Eleven Niang smiled softly: "I want to bother Qiao Niang to try my best to catch up with the work, I have already told Liang to manage him, let him suspend the reservation, and concentrate on hiring embroiderers and clothing workers, and when the manpower is complete, Qiao Niang will train them in acupuncture skills." ”

She had a big plan in mind, but at this time, she couldn't explain to Liang Song that the hired workers she was looking for were actually far from enough, and Ni Zhen Clothing Factory would soon disappear from the West Market.

As he was talking, Fu Er, the son of Fu Yuan, who is also the husband of Qingnu, found the needlework room, and when he saw Eleven Niang, he first flattered: "The little lady is really like a god." ”

"But the Yao family went to the clothing shop to provoke again?" Eleven Niang asked.

Qiao Niang's heart sank, and she looked at Fu Er very worriedly.

"Yao's first sent a servant, and blocked the door of Steward Liang's house early yesterday morning, clamoring to invite a matchmaker, and preparing a bride price, and asked Steward Liang to hand over Qiao Niang, of course Steward Liang refused, and the evil servant actually rushed into the house, but he didn't see Qiao Niang, smashed and played all his prestige, but he returned in vain."

Qiao Niang was shocked when she heard this: No wonder Eleven Niang insisted on taking her away that day, if not, wouldn't she have been forcibly abducted by evil servants to Yuanfu, even though Eleven Niang would have tried to save her from it, but it was difficult to guarantee that the Yao family would ruin her life first.

After the closure of the West Market, they are not allowed to stay, of course Liang Song's family does not live in the clothing shop, even if there is a Wuhou shop in the house to maintain law and order and prevent robbery, but they dare not offend the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they can only pretend not to notice? Eleven Niang had long expected that the Yao family would not give up, although Ni Zhen Clothing Workshop had been taken over by herself, and she was not afraid that the Yao family would provoke, but she couldn't prevent the Yao family from going directly to the Liang family, although Eleven Niang could arrange manpower to prevent Qiao Niang from being taken captive, but if the two sides had a fight, the matter would be unstoppable, and it was definitely not a good strategy.

Wei Haichi didn't want to "fight" too much, so Eleven Niang acted in moderation, she simply took Qiao Niang home, and it was impossible for the Yao family to come to Jingzhaoliu to openly rob people.

I heard Fu Er go on to say: "Today is the Yao family who personally went out to find the clothing shop, originally to force Steward Liang to hand over people, Steward Liang claimed that Qiao Niang lived in our house temporarily, he really couldn't hand over people, and he didn't agree to go against Qiao Niang's wishes and go to the Prime Minister's house." 'Marriage', Yao's face turned white with anger, and he wanted to smash the clothes shop, how could the villain let her get her wish, he had already called Wuhou, Yao couldn't, and even changed his words, saying that Ai Lu had injured her servant and wanted to send Ai Lu to see the official, and learned that Ai Lu was also a guest at our house, Yao almost fainted with anger, maybe next day, at the latest tomorrow, he would come to the door to provoke. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Niang became more and more uneasy.

Eleven Niang comforted: "It's not just because of Qiao Niang, then the Yao family already has some enmity with my family, and this time with an excuse, she will naturally take the opportunity to make trouble, but what kind of character is she?" If you do these things, you must still hide it from Yuan Xiang, in front of Jingzhao Liumen, she doesn't dare to make a big deal about it, you and Ai Lu don't need to worry. ”
