When Jia Lin heard that Shen Xiu was about to hand over the technique of embroidery, he was happy but also a little skeptical. After all, Shen Xiu had been too resistant before, which made him doubtful. He glanced at the other party and said, "Are you really willing to hand it over?"
What’s the technique of stamping yarn embroidery?”
Shen Xiu sighed deliberately: "What can I do? You have the handle. Now it seems that I have no other choice but to hand over my skills. If you want to blame me, you can only blame me for finding the wrong person, not Huaihua."
People like this help me dye my threads."
Jia Lin snorted and said, "You are sensible. If it hadn't been like this earlier, it would have been over."
"But I can hand over my skills." Shen Xiudao, "But not now."
Jia Lin looked at her suspiciously, "Don't play any tricks."
Shen Xiu smiled helplessly and said: "What tricks can I do? It's just because the technique of poking yarn embroidery requires some tools. I can't prepare nothing, right?"
"If Ruyi Embroidery Shop doesn't have any tools, just go back with me," Jia Lin said.
Shen Xiudao: "I know your Ruyi Embroidery Workshop has all the tools, but this embroidery requires one thing, and such a thing is something you can't think of, so your Ruyi Embroidery Workshop doesn't have such a thing at all."
Jia Lin's curiosity aroused, "What is that?"
Shen Xiu smiled mysteriously: "Secret. You will know when I go to Ruyi Embroidery Workshop tomorrow. You can't even wait a day!"
Jia Lin looked at her without saying a word, and Shen Xiu looked at him without evading.
In the end, Jia Lin compromised. The main reason was that he held Shen Xiu's handle and was not afraid that she would break her promise.
When Shen Xiu came out of the teahouse, there was no trace of happiness on Shen Xiu's face. On the contrary, there was a hint of sadness on her face.
The fact that Jia Lin let her go so happily shows that he must have made complete preparations.
But she still went to Stone Village with a glimmer of hope. As soon as she arrived at Aunt Cui's house, she met Aunt Cui who was about to go out.
"Auntie, where is Sophora japonica?"
Aunt Cui said anxiously: "I'm looking for her too. This girl went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet."
Shen Xiu's heart sank. It seemed that as she expected, the Sophora japonica was indeed in Jia Lin's hands.
She forced a smile and comforted Aunt Cui: "Auntie, don't worry, I know where the Sophora japonica has gone. If you wait at home for a while, I will definitely send the Sophora japonica back."
In the house, Sister-in-law Xu looked at her newly dyed nails and said to the maid Hongxing: "Are the nails a little darker?"
Hongxing complimented: "No, this crabapple red just matches my wife's skin color, and makes her hands look slender and long."
Sister-in-law Xu stared at her nails, still a little dissatisfied.
She was thinking about whether to re-dye her nails when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is here? Go and see?" Sister-in-law Xu yawned leisurely and asked Hongxing to open the door.
After a while, Hongxing came back and brought a guest.
Sister-in-law Xu looked at the guests in front of her, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This is really a rare guest."
Shen Xiu didn't bother to chat with her, "Sister-in-law Xu, I have to ask you for help with something."
"So, Ruyi Embroidery Shop detained a girl named Huaihua?" Sister-in-law Xu wondered, "What does this girl have to do with you?"
Shen Xiu didn't want to waste time and simply explained: "She dyed the silk embroidery threads I used for me. Boss Jia found out about this from somewhere, so he used her to blackmail me. But I don't want to betray the embroidery village.
So I wanted to find her."
"I can help with this." Sister-in-law Xu immediately told Hongxing, "Go to the Yamen and call my husband back, and tell him that I have something to ask him."
After Hongxing left, Sister-in-law Xu leaned leisurely on the chair, played with the nails in her hands and asked: "Although my man is a head catcher, I have a backer at Ruyi Embroidery Workshop. Now I stand on your side with great fanfare."
, I will definitely offend the other party in the future."
Shen Xiu didn't wait for her to continue, then said: "When the county magistrate's wife celebrates her birthday next year, I will definitely embroider a better embroidery."
Sister-in-law Xu smiled and said: "Next year is next year. Anyway, just remember to owe me a favor."
Shen Xiu knew that Sister-in-law Xu was not an easy person to fool. Sooner or later, this owed favor would have to be repaid, and she might not know what kind of requests she would make in the future.
But she couldn't care about that much at the moment, so she could only use the other party's strength to find Sophora japonica as soon as possible.
Before Sophora japonica was found, Shen Xiu was not idle and sent Liu Boy to Wenhua Academy to deliver a letter.
Half an hour later, Wei Yan hurried back.
"Axiu, what happened?"
Shen Xiu had already prepared paper and pen, and even polished the ink.
"Ms. sir, the matter is urgent. I don't have time to explain it to you in detail. Please write a piece of paper for me first."
Wei Yan looked at the paper and pen in front of him and said, "Who do you want to sue?"
Shen Xiudao: "This matter is related to a woman's reputation and the future of our embroidery village. I will tell you the whole story when I am free. You should write the petition for me first!"
The reason why she knew about Wei Banyan's petition was because she heard it from Yang.
Wei Yan was indeed good at writing pleadings. He often helped the bookstore copy books, and the bookshop often helped people write pleadings. Wei Yan read a lot, so he wrote down the popular texts on the pleadings.
At that moment, he followed Shen Xiu's instructions and finished writing a pleading with one wave of his hand.
Shen Xiu picked it up carefully and saw that what Wei Yan wrote was not his usual small regular script with hairpin flowers, but the thin gold script she had embroidered before.
"Ms. sir, why do you write the petition paper in thin gold script?"
Wei Yan smiled slightly and said, "Just go to the county government office with the pleading. With this pleading here, as long as what you say is true, then County Magistrate Zuo will definitely handle it impartially."
Wei Yan took half an hour's leave from the academy, so he had to go back after writing the petition.
Shen Xiu looked at the paper he wrote and always felt that there was some meaning in his words. But she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it.
She had no choice but to put the matter aside for now and turn around to find out when Magistrate Zuo would come to court to hear the case.
Zuo County Magistrate was promoted from Juren to County Magistrate. As an ambitious person, Zuo County Magistrate certainly did not want to stop at being a county magistrate, so he was considered diligent as a county magistrate.
In a month, there are seven or eight days in the morning hall, and as for the lunch hall and evening hall, there is not a day left.
Cases are heard in the lunch hall at noon, and cases are heard in the evening hall in the evening.
Shen Xiu looked at the sky and saw that there was still an hour until dark. She now only hoped that Wang Captou could help her find Sophora japonica before an hour.
The most painful thing is waiting for someone, and Shen Xiu only got one day from Jia Lin. So she had to put an end to this matter today.
If it can't be resolved, tomorrow Jia Lin will know what he has done in private. If he can't help but let out the news that Sophora japonica is the broom star, it will be a devastating blow to Xiuzhuang.
While Shen Xiu was circling in the yard, she prayed to all kinds of gods to protect Sophora japonica from being found soon.
Probably these prayers had an effect. When the sun was about to set, someone finally knocked on the door of the house.
