After Shen Xiu came out of the inn, Yu Shuya immediately greeted her, "Sister Shen, what did Lin embroiderer say?"
Lin Ye's residence was found with the help of Yu Shuya. The Yu family is a big family in Fucheng, so finding someone to live in is not a problem at all.
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "He has already promised that he will not embarrass Bai Xiu Niang tomorrow."
"Sister Shen, what exactly did you say, and why did he deserve such happiness?" Yu Shuya asked curiously.
Shen Xiudao: "I just negotiated a deal with him."
The conditions she proposed were not harsh, and the deal was too tempting for Lin Ye. Lin Ye finally agreed, and Shen Xiu was not surprised at all.
"As long as he keeps his word, there will be nothing to worry about tomorrow's test."
Lin Ye has promised her that in tomorrow's competition, Bai Xiu Niang will be able to take one step forward and make it a tie.
Yu Shuya breathed a sigh of relief, and then held Shen Xiu's arm affectionately, "Sister Shen has helped us such a big favor, I have to thank you very much."
Shen Xiudao: "Thank you, no need." She proposed to negotiate a deal with Lin Ye, but she was actually attracted by the other party's silk splitting skills. As for helping Manfang Embroidery Studio and Bai Xiu Niang, it was a matter of convenience.
Yu Shuya didn't understand the inner story, but she made up her mind to tell Shopkeeper Zhou and Bai Xiu Niang about this and let them accept Shen Xiu's love.
When I returned to Yu's house, it was already getting late.
Lu Caiwei has returned from offering incense with Mother Lu.
On this day, Lu Cailian took them to many places. Although they were tired, they felt that they had seen a lot of the world.
Especially Lu Caiwei, when she saw Shen Xiu, she pulled her and talked non-stop, "We went to the temple today to burn incense. The Buddha statue in the temple is really tall, over a foot high, and the golden body on it is said to be the prefect. Donated by Madam..."
Shen Xiu smiled lightly and said nothing. She had no interest in temples and had no regrets about it.
Lu Caiwei held Shen Xiu and talked for a long time before being sent to rest by Mother Lu.
Tomorrow Lu Caiwei was going to meet with the Meng family. Mother Lu was afraid that her poor rest would affect her condition, so she sent her away early.
Before going to bed, Lu Caiwei went to Shen Xiu's room and said, "Ms. Shen, I'm going to see Mr. Meng tomorrow, will you go with me?"
Shen Xiu knew that Lu Caiwei was worried about the meeting tomorrow, so she comforted him: "I heard from Miss Yu that Mr. Meng has a good temperament and is a very promising person."
Lu Caiwei said: "What does she know? I don't believe what she said."
Shen Xiu smiled helplessly: "Fourth girl, Miss Yu is actually quite nice."
Lu Caiwei said: "By speaking for her like this, are you standing on her side and deliberately irritating me?"
The fighting spirit between the little girls was actually very unreasonable. Shen Xiu knew that if she said good things for Yu Shuya, she would offend Lu Caiwei sooner or later, so she smiled and said: "Of course I am on your side. But I promised Bai Xiu Niang of Manfang Embroidery Workshop , I have to meet her tomorrow, so I can’t accompany you to see Mr. Meng.”
Lu Caiwei was a little reluctant, and she didn't give up until Shen Xiu agreed to match her clothes.
When she got up early the next morning, Yu Shuya was worried about the competition and sent someone to invite Shen Xiu early in the morning.
When Shen Xiu and Yu Shuya arrived at the embroidery workshop, Lin Ye had already arrived.
Shopkeeper Zhou and Bai Xiuniang both had worried faces. They didn't know about the deal between Shen Xiu and Lin Ye, and they were afraid that Lin Ye would come up with some cunning way to compete.
Yu Shuya couldn't bear to see the two of them worrying about this, so she found an opportunity to quietly call them over and told them that Shen Xiu had managed to deal with Lin Ye.
Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Shen Xiu had dealt with Lin Ye. He really wanted to ask Shen Xiu what method he used, but this was not a good time to talk.
Bai Xiu Niang's mood was much more complicated than Shopkeeper Zhou's, feeling both ashamed and grateful to Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu felt Bai Xiu Niang's gaze, which was full of gratitude. She couldn't help but nodded and returned a kind smile.
Lin Ye kept his word, and this round was no longer difficult for Bai Xiu Niang, so he chose an ordinary competition content.
"In this game, I want to compare basic skills. I heard that Bai Xiuniang studied under everyone, so she should be very knowledgeable about color matching. In this game, we want to compare color matching. Whoever matches the more beautiful colors will win."
Matching colors is not difficult for Bai Xiu Niang. She quickly agreed, "Then I'll ask Lin Embroidery Worker for advice."
Shopkeeper Zhou ordered people to fetch silk thread and cloth.
Lin Ye and Bai Xiu Niang both chose corresponding silk threads and fabrics.
Shen Xiu felt that there was no need to read any more. It was difficult to distinguish between color combinations. The fact that Lin Ye could think of this competition meant that he had already found the right step.
Sure enough, after half an hour, the combinations of Lin Ye and Bai Xiu Niang were indistinguishable, and the game was a draw.
When things came to this point, everyone in Manfang Embroidery Shop breathed a sigh of relief, and the reputation of the embroidery shop was finally saved.
Lin Ye's expression was very calm. He glanced at Shen Xiu from a distance, and the look in his eyes was very clear, which meant that she should not forget her promise and teach him the acupuncture technique of flesh-piercing needles in the future.
Shen Xiu smiled back at him, and the meaning was obvious. She would certainly not forget the transaction between the two.
As soon as Lin Ye left the embroidery workshop, shopkeeper Zhou greeted him enthusiastically. Of course he knew that Shen Xiu had to contribute a lot to the successful resolution of this matter.
"Ms. Shen's kindness will be remembered in our embroidery shop." Shopkeeper Zhou said: "It's just that this is not the place to talk. If Mrs. Shen doesn't mind it, come with me to the second floor for a cup of hot tea. Miss Yu and Bai Xiu Niang are also coming.
.”
There is a specially set aside room on the second floor of the embroidery workshop, which is specially used to entertain distinguished guests.
Shopkeeper Zhou let Shen Xiu into this room and asked the waiter to pour tea.
As soon as the waiter left, shopkeeper Zhou said: "I have already heard from Miss Yu. This time, Lin embroidery worker is willing to let our embroidery workshop go, thanks to Madam Shen's help. Here is a banknote, please be sure to take it, Madam Shen."
Take it."
Shen Xiu declined: "I don't dare to take this seriously. It's just a trivial matter."
But Shopkeeper Zhou insisted that Shen Xiu accept it, and Yu Shuya and Bai Xiu Niang also tried to persuade her.
Unable to resist the kindness, Shen Xiu finally accepted the banknote.
Shopkeeper Zhou waited for Shen Xiu to accept the banknote, then smiled and said, "There is something I have always wanted to ask Mrs. Shen, but I am afraid of offending you."
"Shopkeeper Zhou just said it." Shen Xiudao.
Shopkeeper Zhou said: "I would like to ask Madam Shen to come to our embroidery workshop to help, but I am afraid that Madam Shen will dislike our embroidery workshop."
"Manfang Embroidery Workshop is the most famous embroidery workshop in Fucheng. How could I dislike it?" Shen Xiudao said, "But I run an embroidery shop in the county town. I'm afraid Shopkeeper Zhou's kindness can only be accepted."
Shopkeeper Zhou also knew that Shen Xiu had an embroidery shop, so he didn't have high expectations. When he heard Shen Xiu's answer, he didn't look disappointed on his face and just said: "That would be a pity."
"However, my people cannot go to the embroidery workshop to help, but things can be transported to the embroidery workshop." Shen Xiudao, "I have a business that I want to discuss with Shopkeeper Zhou, but I don't know what Shopkeeper Zhou wants."
