In the end, Shen Xiu did not ask for the supplements and asked Qu Huan to deliver them to Luo Gong.
After Luo Gong received those supplements, he felt baffled, but now he was busy investigating the case, so he forgot about it.
Shen Xiu didn't take this matter to heart either.
After Liu'er came out, she and Xie Sanniang discussed it and both felt that this incident reminded them that Liu'er could no longer wander around like this.
When Liu Hao was called by Xie Sanniang, he found that Shen Xiu was also there.
He looked at Xie Sanniang, not knowing their intentions for a moment.
Shen Xiu was the first to speak: "Liuhai, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be in the future?"
These words stopped Liu Hao. He lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "I want to be a respected person."
He had previously studied with Wei Yan, originally hoping to change his identity through studying. However, Wei Yan told him tactfully that with his qualifications, it would be difficult for him to get a meritorious degree and come back.
Liu Hao was very convinced of Wei Yan. Since Wei Yan said that he had no talent for studying, Liu Hao had no choice but to give up on the imperial examination.
But deep down in his heart, he still hopes to become a person of status.
Shen Xiu thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that Liu Hai would have to become a respected person.
"You have to become a respected person." Shen Xiudao, "This matter is not easy to handle."
After Shen Xiu finished speaking, she changed the subject and said: "But there is a saying that where there is a will, there is a way. I think as long as you put in enough effort, you should be able to achieve this wish one day."
Liu Hao was encouraged, and a light shone in the depths of his eyes.
Shen Xiu continued: "I discussed it with Sanniang and decided that it is not an option for you to wander like this every day. If you are willing, I can introduce you to Qu Huan and practice by his side for a few years."
Liu Hai met Qu Huan in the alley, and he knew that Qu Huan and Shen Xiu had business contacts.
"Will he have me?" Liu Hao asked uncertainly.
Shen Xiudao: "As long as you are willing, I will tell him. If one day you don't want to stay with him anymore, then you can come to my shop to help."
The reason why he introduced Liubao to Qu Huan instead of taking him in himself was because the embroidery shop really didn't need so many manpower.
As for Qu Huan, he is currently doing business in partnership with Luo Gong, so he naturally needs manpower around him.
If Liu Hao follows Qu Huan, he will definitely learn a lot.
Shen Xiu felt that Liu Hao would not refuse this proposal, and Liu Hao agreed after thinking about it.
"Then Mrs. Shen must keep her word. I don't want to follow Mr. Qu anymore, so you must take me in."
Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Of course."
Therefore, Shen Xiu quickly introduced Liu Hai to Qu Huan.
For her sake, Qu Huan readily agreed.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Luo has returned to the county government office. I have already mentioned the matter to him. When Brother Luo heard that you had something to discuss, he said that he would find time to see you tomorrow morning."
Shen Xiu has been waiting for Luo Gong for several days.
The next morning, she went to Luo Gong's house as promised.
Luo Gong was lying on a soft couch in the room, with a cloth wrapped around his right arm. There were several maids surrounding him to help him eat.
When Shen Xiu entered the house, she smelled the smell of medicine. Seeing the maids' behavior, she knew that Luo Gong was injured.
When Luo Gong saw Shen Xiu coming, he waved away the maids and asked them to pour tea for Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu glanced at Luo Gong's right arm, "Why is Mr. Luo injured?"
Luo Gong said casually: "It's nothing, just a small injury." While speaking, he picked up the oranges on the plate with his left hand and tossed them up and down in his hand.
He had always been a carefree person, but it was only after he became the county magistrate that he became more serious. Now that he was injured, he has returned to his true nature.
The corner of Shen Xiu's mouth couldn't help but twitch. She still felt that the more serious Luo Gong was more pleasing to the eye.
"Don't you have something to tell me?" Luo Gong tossed the oranges for a while, then felt bored and stopped.
Shen Xiu put away those miscellaneous thoughts and said seriously: "I want to discuss a business deal with Mr. Luo."
Luo Gong was indeed very interested in this topic. He sat up straight and asked, "What business?"
Shen Xiudao: "The sales of the orchid booklet look good at the moment. But when people in the capital get tired of seeing it, I'm afraid this orchid booklet won't be sold."
Luo Gong also had this worry. He had made a lot of money from the orchid book before. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up this way of making money.
"Then what can you do?"
Shen Xiudao: "I have actually been thinking about a solution. If you want orchid booklets to sell well, you have to keep introducing new ones."
"Originally I had no idea, but by chance I got a double-sided embroidery work. I thought, why can't the orchid book be embroidered with double-sided embroidery?"
Shen Xiu continued: "If the orchid book can be embroidered on both sides, its value will definitely be higher. Then people will be more interested in it."
When Luo Gong heard the word "double-sided embroidery", his face felt uncomfortable for a moment, probably because he remembered selling fake goods to Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu also noticed the trace of discomfort, but she pretended to have seen nothing.
Luo Gong quickly adjusted his mood and followed Shen Xiu's words and said: "But double-sided embroidery is not that easy to embroider."
Shen Xiudao: "I originally thought so. But since I had such a double-sided embroidery piece in my hand, I took it apart and looked at it to see if I could find the technique for making double-sided embroidery."
Shen Xiu said with a smile: "Maybe my talent is not bad, but it really helped me find the technique of double-sided embroidery."
After she said the last word, she took out a handkerchief from her arms and said, "This handkerchief is the handkerchief I embroidered using the double-sided embroidery technique."
When Luo Gong took the handkerchief, he still couldn't believe it. But after he looked at it, he realized that the handkerchief was indeed double-sided embroidery.
Not only are the patterns on the front and back exactly the same, but there is no thread showing on the back, and the front and back are equally neat.
"How is this veil?" Shen Xiu looked at Luo Gong's expression and asked with a smile.
It took Luo Gong a long time to react, and then he said something.
"Ms. Shen, I, Luo, really saw the right person. Going into business with you is the most correct thing I have done in my life."
Shen Xiu smiled lightly: "Mr. Luo, I don't like sweet talk. You know the importance of this double-sided embroidery technique even if I don't tell you about it. I think we should have a good talk."
"What to talk about?" Luo Gong asked, "If you want to talk about the share, that's no problem."
