Chapter 788: Puppet

Facing Qiao Yuyan's slightly probing gaze, Shen Jing raised her eyebrows and said nothing, acquiescing.

Everyone Xue hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement with a cold face.

So everyone else stayed downstairs and waited. The Xue family took two people upstairs. When they reached the door, Shen Jing stopped and allowed the two of them to go in.

No wonder Xue's family doesn't allow so many people in. Her house, at first glance, is simply a paradise of colors.

All kinds of silk threads are placed in an orderly manner. There can be more than a dozen of the same color, and it is a complete gradient color system from light to dark.

Not to mention, there are also those who split a thread into eight, sixteen or even thirty-two strands and put them on the top. There are countless large and small semi-finished embroidery products in the room.

If a bunch of people rushed in shouting and cheering, there's no telling what kind of chaos it would be.

Not to mention, if an expert comes in and carefully examines her semi-finished products, he can probably tell some of her unique secrets. For someone who has relied on superb craftsmanship to reach this point, it can almost be called the pinnacle of craftsmanship. From a human perspective, it can be considered a risk factor.

Sister Xue glanced at Shen Jing, but there was still no smile on her face. She just turned to Qiao Yuyan with a straight face, "Please!"

Qiao Yuyan was amazed as she followed her inside, but this time she praised her sincerely.

Everyone in Xue was flattered by her words one after another, and finally they were no longer so serious. They were able to patiently explain a few questions that Qiao Yuyan occasionally asked.

The two of them walked to the row of cabinets at the back, and Mr. Xue said: "The ones here are the ones I have embroidered in the past two years. There are not many left. I don't know what you want."

When Shen Jing heard this, she glanced over there, and then looked at the house. It was surrounded by sky and there were people guarding below, so she didn't care much.

Qiao Yuyan smiled and explained the purpose of her visit. The Xue family opened a cabinet and took out a picture of a lady with lotus flowers inside, "Look at this one, this lotus flower..."

She explained in detail, her voice a little louder, Qiao Yuyan listened to her explanation carefully, and then said in a very low voice: "Thank you Xue, everyone. Sister Song came to see me when I left the capital. This She also gave me the veil at that time, but she only gave it to me for use. I have to return it to her when I go back. I am also afraid that if I have such a fate, I will meet Mr. Xue, so you can come and ask for advice."

After saying that, he waited for everyone Xue to finish the introduction, and then raised his voice, "My mother's name has the character "Han" in it, which matches this picture very well. She also used to..." qδ

Qiao Yuyan couldn't stop praising this picture and asked Mr. Xue about the techniques used here.

Then I heard Mr. Xue lower his voice and say: "It's because you are Yuwei's friend that I brought you here, but I have already said that I will not get involved in any official affairs, so I may not be able to help. What are you doing, but why are you hanging out with Mrs. Zhang and others?"

The two people were openly looking at embroidery and talking about embroidery, but while the other was talking, both of them lowered their voices and talked about another matter.

Qiao Yuyan did not hide anything, "I was forced to have no choice but to meet many merchants in the south these days. I just suffered from the fact that I did not have the ability to move freely, so many things were unclear."

She then gave a brief summary of the people she had met during this period, "When I met Mr. Xue at this moment, I was just thinking about what you might know about your influence in the south, and more importantly, You don't want to get involved in these power struggles, so maybe you can see more clearly. In your opinion, what's the problem here?"

Everyone in Xue was stunned for a moment, and almost forgot to continue the introduction.

It took a while to find a picture of the rising sun. "Nowadays, the merchants here are all empty-handed. Their business is no longer in their hands. As for who is the manipulator behind it, I don't want to cause trouble, so I never Checked it out."

These words really surprised Qiao Yuyan, and she almost couldn't resist the urge to look back at Shen Jing.

The merchants she had seen recently were not

They are just ordinary vendors in small workshops, but they are all well-known people in southern shopping malls.

Otherwise, Mrs. Zhang would not be able to wear Mr. Xue's embroidery on her body casually.

But……

How did Shen Jing get so much energy?

From the words of the servant, she knew that Shen Jing had invested a lot of energy in the south and had indeed achieved quite a lot.

But she is an orphan girl of the Shen family, which is too unbelievable.

Not to mention the current Shen Jing, even the original General Shen may not have such energy.

She tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and pretended that she was still looking at the embroidery, "Then why are these people so arrogant on the outside now? What's more, cutting off people's wealth is not a casual grudge.

There are so many merchants who are vegetarians, no matter who they are dealing with, they cannot just obey so quietly!"

Everyone Xue pointed to the picture of the rising sun and persuaded her not to give it to her grandmother, but to give it to An Geer.

"Because there is still a day of revival, do you think these merchants are the only ones like this now? The governments of these provinces have almost become puppets.

I don’t know who is involved behind your back to allow these people to treat you so seriously. If you don’t want to die, just pretend you don’t know anything. If you know the truth, you might as well go to Coastal Generation and have a look.”

Qiao Yuyan was speechless. Everyone Xue's meaning was very clear. She couldn't escape. Not only were the merchants in this place in the hands of Shen Jing's group, but also the government officials representing the imperial court.

Therefore, Shi Shu was actually wrong. Shen Jing was not without connections. In fact, she was afraid that she had already seen the true Buddha.

Mr. Xue said softly: "That's all I can tell you. The reason why they didn't touch me is because I don't have much money left in this place. All the money I earn is used to run the embroidery business under my name." Square.

There are apprentices from my embroidery workshop in these two or three nearby provinces, and they are also places where poor families send their daughters to earn a few bucks. By keeping me here, this reputation will still exist, and at least it can whitewash part of the peace. It’s not that I have any other uses.”

Qiao Yuyan nodded lightly, knowing that she would not get anything more from Mr. Xue, "Thank you for taking the risk to inform me."

Then he pointed to several pieces of embroidery and asked, "How much do these cost?"

Shen Jing outside was already impatient, "Have you not finished selecting yet? It's time to go back."
