After being reminded by Xie Sanniang, Shen Xiu remembered something. Since she had moved to the county seat, she should go see Trini and tell her about her move.
Trini's husband-in-law is also a government servant. With such a relationship, she is not afraid even if there are gamblers and scoundrels living across the street.
However, although I am not afraid of these two gamblers and scoundrels, I still have to be careful about them.
When Shen Xiu went to Xiuzhuang again the next day, he took Da Ya with him.
When Shopkeeper Liu saw her, he smiled and said, "I have something happy to tell you, little lady."
"What happy event?" Shen Xiu asked, "Is it possible that the three embroiderers have learned this technique of embroidery?"
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "The three embroiderers have almost mastered their skills. But what I want to talk about is not this happy event."
Shopkeeper Liu wanted to pass things off, but Shen Xiu couldn't guess what happy event it was.
"Miss Li is getting married. She made a special trip to the embroidery shop yesterday and said that all the items for the dowry will be made by our embroidery shop."
Which Miss Li? Shen Xiu thought for a moment and realized that she seemed to only know Li Miao'er, Miss Li. So Li Miao'er was getting married.
Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "Thanks to you for the extra business of Xiuzhuang. But Miss Li said that the other things are fine, but you are designated to make this wedding dress, and she also said that she has some requirements that she needs to tell you in person."
The Li family is a wealthy family, and Li Miaoer has a status in the family. How extravagant is this wedding?
With this business, the embroidery shop no longer has to worry about the problem of cash flow.
Therefore, shopkeeper Liu attached great importance to this business. After Shen Xiu finished giving instructions to the three embroiderers, he urged her to go to Li's house to meet Li Miao'er.
Li Miaoer is now a bride-to-be. When Shen Xiu arrived at Li's house, she was looking at the pearls delivered by the pearl shop.
When she heard that Shen Xiu was coming, Li Miaoer pointed to the two strings of pearls in front of her and said, "Let's take these two!"
After the shopkeeper of the pearl shop went out, Shen Xiu came in holding Da Ya's hand.
Li Miaoer smiled and said, "Whose child is this? How pitiful!" After saying that, he asked the maids to take the eldest daughter down to eat some fruit.
After Da Ya followed the maids away, Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Miss Li finally got what she wanted. I heard that the wedding is next month. It's such a happy event."
Li Miaoer blushed and said, "This is possible thanks to you. If you hadn't helped me embroider the veil, I wouldn't understand what he was thinking. You can be considered our great matchmaker, so I will wear this wedding dress."
I want you to help me do it."
"Do we still want the original pattern?" Shen Xiu asked.
But Li Miaoer shook her head: "Yunniang is Yunniang, and I am me. I don't want to live in her shadow forever. This time I plan to make a unique wedding dress."
Shen Xiu didn't understand because they were different. Aren't all the wedding dresses the same?
Li Miaoer said: "Although I am a bride for the first time, I have seen other people's wedding dresses. They are either red or gold, which are too gaudy. I want a unique wedding dress, preferably
It’s a trick that no one has ever seen before.”
As Shen Xiu listened, something suddenly moved in her heart. Although Li Miaoer's request was a bit high, it just gave her a chance.
"I understand what you mean, Miss Li. Do you think that ordinary wedding clothes are too vulgar and not unique enough?"
Li Miaoer said: "That's what I mean."
Shen Xiu smiled and said, "I did think of an idea."
"Ordinary wedding dresses are made of one layer, but we can make two layers. The outer layer is made of gauze, and the inner layer is made of gauze. The outer gauze is embroidered with stems and leaves, whichever is light and elegant, and the inner gauze is embroidered with large flowers.
It’s better to have a house filled with wealth and wealth, which is not gaudy and looks good when worn. What do you think, Miss Li?”
Li Miaoer thought this was a good idea. It was hard for Shen Xiu to think of a two-layer wedding dress, so she immediately said: "Then I will do it according to your wishes and embroider a two-layer wedding dress."
After Shen Xiu returned, she told Shopkeeper Liu: "Miss Li wants to make a unique wedding dress. I think this is a good opportunity to help us promote this embroidery."
Poke Sha Embroidery has not yet become famous. If it can become famous through Li Miaoer's marriage, it will definitely be a good thing for the embroidery shop.
Shopkeeper Liu was very excited, "The Li family is a big family. There will definitely be many people attending this wedding. If we do well, I'm afraid we won't have to worry about business in the future."
Without further delay, shopkeeper Liu immediately asked three embroiderers to help Shen Xiu make the wedding dress. Shen Xiu also had to embroider copybooks, so she agreed to come to the embroidery shop every morning to help embroider Li Miaoer's wedding dress.
This wedding dress is entirely related to the promotion of embroidery. Shen Xiu had to squeeze in time even if she didn't have time. Fortunately, she now lived in the county town, so it was very convenient to travel. She really didn't have time to cook, so she went out to buy food every day.
A month passed by in a flash. Shen Xiu was busy embroidering the wedding dress in the morning and copybooks in the afternoon. In her dreams, the day of Li Miaoer's wedding had arrived, but the wedding dress had not yet been embroidered.
Fortunately, the three embroiderers gradually understood the key to embroidering yarn, and the four of them worked together to embroider the wedding dress before Li Miaoer got married.
The day Shen Xiu delivered the wedding dress to the Li family happened to be the day when everyone was giving gifts to Li Miao'er.
The maid led Shen Xiu to the place where Li Miaoer was entertaining guests, and saw that the room was full of female relatives.
Shen Xiu only recognized Lu Yuhan. After not seeing him for a long time, he seemed to have lost some energy and his whole person seemed listless.
With so many guests coming to the house, Shen Xiu didn't stay long. She handed the wedding dress to Li Miao'er and left.
As soon as her front legs came out, Lu Yuhan followed her and walked out.
A maid wanted to follow her, but Lu Yuhan waved her hand, "It's too stuffy in the house, I want to go out for a walk."
Shen Xiu thought to herself, Lu Yuhan clearly has something on her mind, but what does she, a young lady, have to worry about?
But soon, she no longer thought about Lu Yuhan's worries, because a woman who still had charm walked over.
"Axiu, why are you here too?" Sister-in-law Xu gently supported Liu Yao and walked over, complaining as she walked, "It's so hot today!"
Shen Xiu's heart tightened, she was really afraid that something might happen, but she could only come forward and said, "I'm here to give Miss Li an embroidered wedding dress. Where is Sister-in-law Xu?"
Sister-in-law Xu said oh, looked at her up and down, then raised the fan in her hand and fanned it twice, "I'm here to give Miss Li some makeup. It seems that we are somewhat related..." When talking about kinship
, lowered his voice unconsciously.
Shen Xiu heard Cuini say that Sister-in-law Xu was born as a maid, so the person related to the Li family should be her original master's family, not herself.
She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Xu, please go in. I'll go back first."
"Don't leave yet!" Sister-in-law Xu stopped her, "You haven't come to my door for many days in a row, and I don't know how your copybook is doing. I heard from Trini that you have moved to the city.
It just so happens that I have nothing to do today and I just happen to go to your house for a visit. Please wait for me at the door for a while, I will come out soon."
