Shen Xiu didn't have a good impression of the person who bought away Wei Yan's case, and asked unhappily: "What is he doing here?"
Wei Yan said: "He came to Fucheng to visit relatives. He knew that I live in Fucheng for a long time, so he stopped by to see me."
"By the way, sir." Shen Xiu originally had a question that she had always wanted to ask, but could never find the opportunity. Now that Wei Yan took the initiative to bring it up, she asked, "Did this person get the top spot in the end?"
Wei Yan said with a smile: "I won. Like me, he was also the first in the county examination and the prefectural examination. Being able to win the first in these two examinations shows that he is indeed very talented."
"That's good." Shen Xiudao: "It's not in vain for me to give him the top spot. But in this way, Xiao Sanyuan's name will fall on him."
Wei Yan smiled and held Shen Xiu's hand, "It's just a false name, you don't need to care too much. If you can't let go of this matter, I will try hard in the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination in the future, and maybe I can give it to you.
Earn a big three yuan."
Compared with the small three yuan, the big three yuan is much more difficult.
Shen Xiu didn't want to put too much pressure on Wei Yan, so she tried her best to wipe away the look of regret on her face, and said as if she didn't care: "I don't care about this matter very much. There is no need to force the matter of Dasanyuan. My husband, you should just give it to me.
Tell us about this young man from an aristocratic family!"
Wei Yan glanced at Shen Xiu. Although Shen Xiu pretended not to care, Wei Yan knew that she still felt sorry in her heart.
He secretly made up his mind, but on his face he acted calm and indifferent, and said with a faint smile: "This young master from an aristocratic family has the same surname as you, Shen Shiqi."
Shen Shiqi actually has the same surname as her.
Shen Xiu couldn't help but ask: "Then whose relative did he come to Fucheng to visit?"
Wei Yan said: "His sister is married to the only son of Qin Zhifu. If you have been to the Zhifu Yamen, you should have seen his sister!"
It turned out that Shen Shiqi's sister was the young lady. Shen Xiu's expression was a little complicated, "I have seen her before, but I recognize her, but she doesn't recognize me."
She suddenly became interested in the Shen family where Shen Shiqi lives, "Ms. sir, where is Shen Shiqi from and what is the status of the Shen family in the local area?"
Wei Yan said: "Shen Shiqi is from the provincial capital, and the Shen family is considered a relatively powerful family in the provincial capital."
The phrase "powerful" made Shen Xiu think a lot. Someone in the Shen family should be an official in the court, and there should also be a lot of property. Otherwise, Shen Shiqi would not have made a move and it would have been two thousand taels of silver.
"The Shen family is rich and powerful. Why would they marry their daughter to Fucheng if they couldn't find any kind of son-in-law?" Shen Xiu couldn't understand this question.
Wei Yan said: "This question needs to be asked of the Shen family. In fact, the only son of the Qin magistrate is not bad at all. He is an outstanding figure at a young age. It's just that he is introverted and doesn't like to meet people, so his reputation is not obvious."
After all, Shen Xiu had only been to the government office once and didn't know the situation of the Qin family. But when she talked about the only son of the Qin magistrate, she thought of Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu is currently receiving her cousin.
Mrs. Zhang was very dissatisfied with not attending the fire-warming party a few days ago. Although she didn't say it explicitly, her words conveyed her displeasure.
Mrs. Gu automatically filtered out her complaints, and after Mrs. Zhang vented her dissatisfaction, she said slowly and calmly: "There will be guests at home in a few days. It's best for my aunt not to come to the house during this period."
Zhang asked: "What kind of guest is so important?"
Mrs. Gu said calmly: "It's not an important guest, it's my daughter-in-law's family who are coming."
"It turns out they are brother Kun's wife's natal family." Mrs. Zhang said, "It's his fault. What does it have to do with you and me?"
Mrs. Gu smiled faintly and said: "That's not what you say. My daughter-in-law has always set her sights on others because of her good family background. I heard that her younger brother is also famous for being arrogant. Why should my aunt be the same as them? Besides, I don't
I asked my aunt to come here just to avoid suspicion."
Mentioning her family background, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but comment. In the eyes of wealthy families, merchants like them were indeed not worthy of attention. Mrs. Gu also had good intentions and didn't want her to be looked down upon.
Just to avoid suspicion.
Mrs. Gu explained: "I know that my cousin has always wanted to deal with Jinxinxiufang. This time someone from the Shen family comes, I think it is an opportunity."
"What opportunity?" As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard that the opportunity had come, she immediately opened her eyes.
Mrs. Gu was still unhurried and said: "The Shen family will send people here this time, and they will definitely not come empty-handed. Plus it is approaching the end of the year, so they will definitely bring many New Year's gifts."
"Reciprocity is the most important thing among aristocratic families. As a mother-in-law, I can't help but not express my gratitude when my daughter-in-law's family has sent so many things. I plan to let my daughter-in-law customize an embroidery at Jinxin Embroidery Workshop. Let's talk about it.
Express our feelings."
"What does this have to do with dealing with Jinxinxiufang?" Mrs. Zhang didn't understand what Mrs. Gu had in mind.
Mrs. Gu didn't say much, just smiled and said: "I'm just going to say this. If there is a problem with the embroidery, it will be my daughter-in-law who will take care of it. She has always been an unforgiving person. If she gives something to her mother's family,
If something goes wrong, you can see if she is willing to give up."
Mrs. Zhang heard it somewhat clearly, but also a little confused.
When she gets home, she will tell Master Gu what Mrs. Gu said.
Master Gu just slapped his thigh and said, "This is a good idea. I originally had a rough plan, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate. Now that the Shen family is coming, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
After the success of the honey trap, Mr. Gu has been planning his next move.
This step is crucial, as it must defeat Jinxinxiufang in one fell swoop without leaving them unaware.
Mr. Gu thought for a long time and originally planned to do some tricks on the silk. However, Shopkeeper Fan had been a shopkeeper for so many years, and the problematic silk could not be hidden from his eyes.
Later, a businessman named Qin gave him a suggestion.
Silk cannot be used to make hands and feet, but embroidery thread can be used to make hands and feet.
A businessman named Qin told Mr. Gu that he had a batch of silk embroidery threads in his hand. These embroidery threads were made of second-class silk. However, after being dyed by experts, they looked no different from the best silk embroidery threads.
Grandpa Gu thinks this is a good idea.
If Jinxin Embroidery Workshop uses this batch of silk embroidery threads, and something goes wrong with the embroidery products, Jinxin Embroidery Workshop will be in crisis.
It’s just that the ancient master feels that ordinary guests are of little weight and cannot defeat Jinxinxiufang all at once.
If Jinxinxiufang can offend a customer with a background, and he adds fuel to the fire behind the scenes, Jinxinxiufang can be completely destroyed.
But customers with backgrounds are not so easy to find, and among the powerful customers at Jinxin Xiufang, several are friends with Shen Xiu Niang.
The ancient master had been worrying about where to find a powerful guest, but now that he heard Zhang's words, he suddenly felt that the opportunity had come.
The Shen family is an outsider and has no relationship with Jinxinxiufang. The Shen family's status is important enough, not to mention that Mrs. Gu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Shen, is supporting her.
As long as there is something wrong with the embroidery, Mr. Shen will never give up.
With a young lady like her stepping forward to hold people accountable, Jinxinxiufang will definitely become notorious.
