Hearing this, Mr. Zou's eyes flashed with deep thought.
Ye Fuxun winked at Guan Qian and said to Zou: "Mrs. Ouyang, I want to talk to Miss Guan about my personal affairs. Is it convenient?"
"Of course it's convenient." Madam Zou responded with a smile, "Ma'am, please feel free to do it. If you need anything, please call me over at any time."
Ye Fuxun took Guan Qian to a place with few people: "How have you been since you returned home? Yesterday I sent a message to visit you, but unfortunately your concierge said you don't see outsiders."
Guan Qian was stunned, embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she apologized: "Madam, Qian'er doesn't know about this... Her stepmother is now in charge of the second bedroom, and the servants in the second bedroom all follow her orders. Qian'er is incompetent...
"
"It's not your fault." Ye Fuxun frowned. Guan Qian's situation at home was probably worse than she imagined.
Guan Qian nodded, not wanting Ye Fuxun to worry about her, so she changed the topic: "Why did Madam come to Qian'er yesterday?"
Ye Fuxun was also afraid that Guan Qian would be embarrassed, so he took out the design paper from his arms and said, "I came to you yesterday because I wanted to trouble you to see if you can do this thing."
Guan Qian looked at the design drawing carefully and thought attentively: "Madam, it is not difficult to make this thing, but this thin oilcloth may be difficult to find."
"No need to worry about this," Ye Fuxun said with a smile, "My brother will go find it. When you have the oilcloth, please ask the girl to sew it."
"It's just that the girl needs to keep this matter a secret."
Guan Qian agreed: "No problem."
Ye Fuxun looked at Guan Qian and secretly thought that the top priority was to resolve Guan Qian's marriage as soon as possible. He couldn't just watch Guan Qian fall into a pit of fire.
And the person who does this should preferably be my brother.
However, my brother and Guan Qian have just met and have not yet developed feelings for each other. With his temperament, unless she makes this request directly, I am afraid that he will not take the initiative to save Guan Qian.
Therefore, it is still necessary to increase the contact opportunities between the two.
"After this thing is finished, I want to mass-produce it." Ye Fuxun said, "Can Qian'er use this as a foothold and consider what conditions are needed to make it happen?"
If Guan Qian is just the daughter of an ordinary rich family, this request is really abrupt and embarrassing.
But Ye Fuxun learned from the book that after marrying Yu Yu, Guan Qian once mentioned that when she was a child, she was short of food and clothing in Zhuangzi in the countryside, and she also led her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to start a small business. She thought this would not be a problem for her.
.
Sure enough, Guan Qian was slightly surprised, but she did not refuse: "Okay."
"My brother will be at Guanglin Building tomorrow. Is it convenient for Qian'er to come out and discuss with him?" Ye Fuxun smiled slightly.
"This..." Guan Qian thought for a moment, "I'll find a way to go there."
That’s it!
Ye Fuxun took her and thanked her: "When you arrive at Guanglin Tower, you only need to tell me my brother Yu Yu's name, and someone will take you to see him."
At this time, Mrs. Zou came over and said, "Madam, everyone is waiting for you to come over at the old lady's side."
"Wait for me?" Ye Fuxun was surprised.
"That's right," Ms. Zou explained with a smile, "on the big screen for the old lady's birthday, I just sent my wife to go and embroider a few stitches to celebrate it!"
Just ask her to do a few embroidery stitches?
Embroidery?
Ye Fuxun had three big question marks on his forehead, and he was led away by Zou with a confused look on his face.
"younger sister!"
Ye Fuxun heard Yu Yu calling her at the corner of the winding corridor.
"elder brother?"
Ye Fuxun turned around and waved with a smile.
Ye Fuxun took Guan Qian's hand and walked over and asked, "Brother, have you been here earlier?"
Yu Yu said with a smile: "Brother came early and just now I was discussing something with Master Ouyang."
"I heard that the old lady wants to invite you, sister, to come over and do some embroidery..."
Because Yu Yu was worried about his sister's level of female celebrity, he stopped her halfway and said, "If you don't want to go, will my brother take you away?"
"Brother," Ye Fuxun stamped his feet and smiled at Guan Qian, "Qian'er is still here, and you just laugh at your sister's female celebrity. Is that okay?"
Yu Yu scratched his head, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Ye Fuxun laughed again: "Young Madam Ouyang just said that the daughter-in-law and the girls in their house embroidered a screen for the old lady.
Today, the ladies from each household happened to be here, so I asked the ladies to embroider a few stitches on the screen, which means gathering blessings for the old lady."
"It's just a few stitches. It's not too difficult for my sister."
"So that's it." Yu Yu felt relieved.
Guan Qian quietly looked at Yu Yu from the side, secretly envious that Ye Fuxun had such a caring and attentive brother.
Unexpectedly, she happened to catch Yu Yu's eyes looking at her, and the two stared at each other blankly for a few seconds.
Yu Yu has always been shrewd, but he could see the envy in Guan Qian's eyes at a glance. He just didn't understand why this girl envied the relationship between him and his sister.
Could it be that there is no brother in her family who can take care of her like this?
Seeing the two of them staring at each other dumbfounded, Ye Fuxun couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, and just smiled quietly without making a sound.
"Well," Guan Qian finally noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere and gently tugged on Ye Fuxun's sleeve, "it's getting late, I'm afraid it's about to pass."
Ye Fuxun smiled: "Okay, let's go."
Judging from the way my brother and Guan Qian looked at each other just now, they were indeed... having fun.
When we arrived at the courtyard where the old lady lived, it was already bustling with people and it was very lively.
"Madam is finally here."
As soon as Mrs. Zou saw Ye Fuxun appear, she hurriedly stepped forward and led her to the old lady. "I just need one more stitch from my lady, and the screen of "Blooming Flowers and Wealth" can be embroidered."
Ye Fuxun smiled politely and said: "I am an average embroiderer, but I am afraid of making everyone laugh."
"How is that possible?" the old lady said quickly, "It is a blessing for me to be able to get my wife to embroider her."
After hearing this, Ye Fuxun walked over with a smile, looked at the screen and said: "What a picture of flowers blooming and rich. Every stitch and every stitch can clearly show the respect and love of the younger generation for the old lady. The housekeeper's sister happens to be here today.
In addition, her embroidery skills are excellent, I wonder if the old lady would mind if the housekeeper sister and my wife can do a few more stitches together?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Guan Qian who was standing aside, and then said cheerfully: "Then there are Mrs. Lao and Miss Guan."
A servant girl came forward and placed the standing screen in place, and then put on the needle and thread again.
Ye Fuxun pulled Guan Qian over and told her his idea: "Qian'er, this screen is filled with brilliant flowers. What do you think if we embroider a colorful butterfly?"
When Guan Qian heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up: "Madam, this method is excellent."
"I am an average embroiderer, so I will leave you to embroider the wings of the colorful butterfly," Ye Fuxun continued, "I will embroider the body of the colorful butterfly."
"good."
Everyone watched curiously as the two went about their business, and many chatted and had fun with the old lady.
