As soon as they got into the carriage, Yan Fangxiang immediately recovered as before, and Chen Shengnan and the others, who were as anxious as ants in a hot pot, breathed a sigh of relief.

wanted to ask what was going on, Yan Fangxiang gave a silent gesture and asked Chen Shengnan to tell the Chen family's coachman to go back to the inn directly, and she wanted to see Yang Qicheng immediately.

Back at the inn, Yan Fangxiang told Yang Qicheng what she found in Qiyun Embroidery Workshop, and Yang Qicheng frowned.

After a long time, Yang Qicheng spoke: "Lady, you pretended to be sick and came out to tell me about it, you are very smart, but you are smart but you are clever and mistaken, you have told the other party to buy embroidery thread, even if it is a temporary sudden illness, once you are better, you will continue to cooperate." If you have no head or tail like today, the other party will suspect your true purpose. ”

Even, the appointment on the embroidery will be canceled.

Such a result is something that Yang Qicheng does not want to see.

Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, Yang Qicheng wanted to use the Qiyun Embroidery Workshop to uproot the entire information transmission network of Li Houye, and even use it for his own use.

Yan Fangxiang bit her lip lightly, as if she had made up her mind: "Xianggong, I have already given the bottom price of the embroidery thread, if the other party accepts it, I will continue to cooperate." That way, the other party won't suspect me of knowing their secrets. ”

Yang Qicheng was still a little hesitant: "This is the reason." However, if you don't cooperate, the other party doesn't know who your surname is; But once you cooperate, the other party will know your true situation, and if you are a little careless in the future, you will still be implicated. ”

Yan Fangxiang said indifferently: "Xianggong, I'm sure the other party didn't notice that I saw the secret in the peony picture, and Ding Datian would think that I was interested in double-sided three-different embroidery." Besides, eating can choke people, sleeping can kill people, drinking water can also choke people to death, people can't stop eating, drinking, and sleeping, right? If you don't look back, you will be suspicious, so it is better to buy the embroidery thread and solve Lan Guifang's immediate crisis. ”

Yang Qicheng's eyes showed a bit of approval, in this matter, he was afraid of wolves and tigers, but he was not as open-minded as his mother.

In order to be seamless, Yang Qicheng asked the shopkeeper to invite Lang Zhong to come to the door, and let Yan Fangxiang rest in the inn for a day and a night without going out.

The next morning, Yan Fangxiang's "sick body" "improved", and then she visited Qiyun Embroidery Workshop for the second time to continue the embroidery thread business that was not discussed yesterday.

When I arrived at the Qiyun Embroidery Workshop, I found that a woman was unilaterally condemning the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was trained to be red-faced and red-faced, and he didn't dare to come out.

Chen Shengnan whispered to Yan Fangxiang that the woman's name was Shi Hongluan, who was originally a palace maid in the palace, and then created a women's hall after being released from the palace.

After a while, Yan Fangxiang and the others understood the cause and effect of the dispute between the two sides.

Shi Hongluan brought a Baifu quilt last month, because of the age, the four blessing characters in the center of the one-and-a-half-foot square bottom cloth were sunburned without color, so he found Qiyun Embroidery Workshop to spend a lot of money to re-embroider the faded place.

Qiyun Embroidery Workshop took over the work, but as a result, not only did it not re-embroider it, but the rotten base cloth was torn and holed, and it could not be restored at all.

Shi Hongluan complained that Qiyun Embroidery Workshop did not have the gold and steel diamonds but took over the porcelain work, and as a result, she damaged her cherished things;

Qiyun Embroidery Workshop apologized and was willing to compensate.

Endure for a while and find that Shi Hongluan is unrelenting, and the clay figure is also aroused, but it alludes to Shi Hongluan's quilt cannot be a twenty-four-year-old quilt, which is rotten, at least fifty years.

At this moment, the anger of both sides has risen to a higher level, from the problem of Momofuku being ruined to the problem of the character of who is panicking on both sides.

There is no point in arguing like this.

Yan Fangxiang explained on the side: "Two, this quilt should be more than 20 years old, but it has been stacked in the sun for a long time, and the embroidery fades and the base cloth rots faster than a normal quilt.

Shi Hongluan was stunned for a moment, and finally understood the problem.

Speaking of this momofuku quilt, there is a lot of origin.

The 100 blessing characters on it were written by Shi Hongluan's father and mother when she was born.

The mother wrote 34 fonts of Fu characters, which means "life" ----- meaning that her daughter's life will be smooth;

The father wrote sixty-six, which means "staying" ,----- meaning that his daughter is in good health and will remain in the world forever.

A hundred different fonts of the word Fu, found a skilled embroiderer, embroidered on the red satin as it was, and made a Baifu quilt.

A quilt carries the love that father and mother once had for Shi Hongluan.

After his father's death, his stepmother left Beijing, or threw away or took away all the relics about his father and mother, and Baifu was the only thought of his father and mother in Shi Hongluan's hands, and she placed it on the incense table next to the bed all the year round, like a tablet.

I didn't expect this, but it accelerated its deterioration.

Seeing that there are still five days left before her mother's death day, on this day, she will fast, bathe, burn incense and pray, and copy the scriptures a hundred times.

Unexpectedly, when the day came, Momofuku, which I wanted to renovate, was out of order.

The top priority is not a matter of responsibility, but a matter of extending the Baifu character on the quilt and preserving it.

Shi Hongluan folded the quilt and left in a hurry.

This move confused the shopkeeper, and the hot-headed head just now immediately cooled down, and he started to apologize after him: "Mr. Shi, I am willing to pay silver to compensate, how about two hundred taels?" Three hundred taels? Five hundred taels ......"

Shopkeeper Shi's voice was crying, if the owner knew that he had offended Mr. Shi of the Women's Honor Hall, he would have no good fruit to eat.

It's a pity that Shi Hongluan didn't even mean to stop.

The shopkeeper was depressed, and when he turned around and saw Chen Shengnan and a few others, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Chen Shengnan: "Miss Chen, the little one remembers that you were a student of Mr. Shi, can you help the little one intercede, the little one is willing to compensate for the loss of Momofuku quilt, just ask her not to mention this matter to her students." ”

Meaning, the quilt is broken, I'm willing to pay, don't go around saying bad things about our Qiyun Embroidery Workshop, your students are my customers nine times out of ten.

Chen Shengnan's face was so stiff that he couldn't be stiffer anymore, and he was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but the shopkeeper added: "The owner disagrees with the price of embroidery thread you talked about yesterday; But if Miss Chen helps me get Mr. Shi's understanding, I can help you deploy it from other embroidery workshops at the price you said, and the shopkeeper of Qiyun Embroidery Workshop still has this ability. ”

If you don't agree, there's no business to talk about.

Yan Fangxiang and the others had no choice but to get out of the Qiyun Embroidery Workshop and walk to the front of the street on foot, wanting to go to other small embroidery workshops to try their luck again, and as they walked, they found that Shi Hongluan's carriage was parked at the door of a study.

Yan Fangxiang stopped the carriage, held the curtain in her hand, and stared at the direction of the study, with a solemn expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

About an hour later, Shi Hongluan left the study.

Yan Fangxiang got out of the carriage, entered the study, and after another half an hour, came out and got into the carriage.
