Chapter 50: Seeing off the guests
"Why is ginseng so expensive? Even such a large embroidery workshop can't fill the gap between your teeth?"
The crowd who came forward to cheer were stopped by a carriage. The driver, Qiu Shan, swung his hand and played with a whip and swung it in front of the crowd.
When Boss Qin heard this voice, his scalp went numb.
He could forget everything, but this voice...even if he was deaf, it could still make him jump.
"...No, no, how can we still follow you here?" Boss Qin murmured and stepped back. The waiter behind him didn't know the reason, but supported him behind him, "Master?".
Boss Qin suddenly stepped on the waiter's foot, then turned to glare at him, "Nothing!"
The man in the carriage asked again: "Where are you going, Boss Qin, in a hurry?"
Seeing that he was unable to escape, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "...No, no, you are here and I am ready to pick you up."
"That's it, come on then."
The curtain of the carriage was opened from the inside, and a shoe with an apricot sole embroidered with crabapples came out first, and then a smiling face caught his eye.
Boss Qin knelt down with a plop, then moved to the carriage and lay down with his body hunched over.
Jiang Shao's face didn't change as he stepped down on the meat stool.
"I just vaguely heard about compensation or something. Why, Boss Qin owes someone money?"
Boss Qin stood up and shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, it's nothing."
Jiang Shao nodded, "So they owe you?"
How could Boss Qin dare to respond? You must know that he came today to ask for money while carrying the flag that she had injured.
If Tan Sanniang hadn't gone that day, how could he have mistaken the wrong person, broken his fingers, broken his palm, and been beaten all over his body? If she discovered it again, would he still be able to use his remaining hand?
Boss Qin shook his head again, "They don't owe me either. No such thing, no one owes anyone anything."
On the other side of the carriage, Qin Sanniang, who had closed the door and was about to bolt it, opened the door and jumped out, shouting loudly across the carriage: "Aren't you going to take the embroidery workshop as your own? You also want to snatch the red plums for yourself."
Are you a roommate?"
When Boss Qin heard the sound of the door opening, he knew he was going to be in trouble. When he heard the shouting that he wished no one could hear, his heart beat like a drum and he quickly retorted: "No! No! I don't know what red plums are!"
Tan Sanniang said again: "Is that so? Is what Boss Qin said true? Don't wait ten days and a half to beg for nothing..."
"True! Trueer than gold!" He wanted to block the widow's mouth.
"Oh, that was my misunderstanding." Qin Sanniang raised her hands to the crowded crowd opposite and said loudly: "Neighbors, we wrongly blamed Boss Qin."
Seeing this, Boss Qin also raised his hands to the crowd, trying to regain some goodwill, but no one paid any attention to him, so he had to put down his hands that were wrapped like rice dumplings in frustration.
All his panic was seen by Jiang Shao. Seeing that it was almost over, she said: "Since it is a misunderstanding, let's just let it go... Boss Qin, is there anything else?"
"No, no, it's okay." When Jiang Shao stopped paying attention to him, he felt as if he had received an amnesty, and quickly pushed the man back with one hand, "Why are you still hanging around here? Come on, hurry up and carry the sedan chair."
The jostling crowd left all at once, and the people watching the fun on the other side of the intersection also left.
Qiu Shan drove the carriage to the main entrance of the embroidery workshop. Qin Sanniang glanced at the carriage and then at Jiang Shao who was walking up the steps. She said, "Why do you want to help me?"
After Jiang Shao walked up the steps and stood in front of the door, she smiled and said: "When the road is rough, it's natural to help."
Tan Sanniang looked calm and said in a calm tone: "Now that the road is flat, you can leave."
"Sanniang won't you invite me in for some tea?"
"You don't look like someone who drinks from the gap, that's all. Hongmei will bring you a cup of tea."
"Hey" there was a sound from inside the door, and there were a lot of footsteps. Some people walked in lightly, and some people opened the half-open door, and several heads were exposed behind the door.
Hongmei came out with tea, Jiang Shao thanked her, took it and drank it.
As she handed the teacup to Hongmei, Qin Sanniang said, "Can I say it now?"
Jiang Shao glanced at her and said with a smile: "Sanniang is really smart. I came here today because of her fame."
"I want to see your embroidery workshop."
Tan Sanniang: "Looking at the embroidery workshop?"
Jiang Shao nodded.
"This..." Going around such a big circle just to see an embroidery workshop? Tan Sanniang was a little confused, what was so interesting about this embroidery workshop.
Jiang Shao cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if Sanniang can do it for me?"
Jiang Shao's sincere words made Qin Sanniang a little confused. She thought about it after taking a look, but it didn't mean anything, so she agreed.
Jiang Shao was followed by Feng He and Sang Yu, while Qiu Shan was still sitting in front of the carriage, playing with the reins.
At first, it was only Qin Sanniang who took her around. After walking through the pool, around the paint vat, and finally walking out of the bright and colorful room, a group of people were already behind them, a group of women dressed as women.
Jiang Shao stopped at the embroidery pavilion and watched several young embroiderers carefully embroidering a peony pattern. They sat on both sides of the half-person-high embroidery frame. After embroidering a stitch here, they passed the needle through it and passed it through there.
After catching it and sending it back, Jiang Shao took a look and found that the patterns on both sides were exactly the same, and he couldn't tell the difference between the primary and secondary sides.
What surprised her even more was that the peony on the embroidery frame was lifelike, like a graceful flower in full bloom, and the petals were shiny and pink. Even the curling of the flower tips and the slight reflection of the green leaves were all...
A stroke of genius.
After admiring it for a while, she quietly walked away. The embroiderers were so focused on their needles that they didn't even notice Jiang Shao coming and going away.
After passing the embroidery pavilion, we arrived at the weaving room.
There were several weaving machines in the weaving room, with weavers sitting in front of them. Every time the weavers moved their bodies, the looms would vibrate and make a dull sound.
Someone inside looked out. Jiang Shao smiled and left, not wanting to disturb Zhi Niang.
After going around in a circle, she returned to the door. But just now, she was outside, and now, she is inside.
"How about it, have you finished reading it?" Qin Sanniang squatted on the stone pier, holding her sleeves and looking at Jiang Shao.
Jiang Shao said: "Thank you Sanniang for making it possible. I'm really shocked when I look at it today."
Qin Sanniang then laughed and said, "You are a knowledgeable embroiderer. I am not bragging. Apart from me, the only embroiderers with such good skills are in the palace."
After laughing, her expression became serious again, "You're not here to poach people, are you?"
Jiang Shao laughed twice, "I really didn't come here for this."
"I have a relatively big appetite, and I don't have any hobbies that grab people's attention."
"I just want to cooperate with Sanniang's embroidery shop so that I can open a tailor-made clothing shop."
Qin Sanniang's brows finally relaxed, but after a while they hid them deeper, "Oh, I see, you don't want to rob me, you just came to steal my business."
After that, she jumped off the stone pier and was grabbed by Jiang Shao, "How about seven or three?"
Tan Sanniang bared her front teeth, pointed at herself and said, "I am seven and you are three?"
