Wen Xiu Niang didn't notice Shen Xiu's eyes on her, but she had something secret in her heart. She was afraid that her role as an insider would be exposed, so she quickly made an excuse and left the embroidery village in a hurry.
Following Shen Xiu's instructions, Liu Hao stood guard at the entrance of Xiuzhuang. When he saw Wen Xiu Niang coming out, he followed her.
He was wearing shabby linen clothes and looked like a beggar. He followed Wenxiu Niang without arousing her suspicion at all.
Wenxiu Niang went to buy some food first, and then ducked to the teahouse.
Jia Lin arrived belatedly half an hour later.
"Boss Jia." Wen Xiu Niang came forward with an anxious look on her face, "At first you said that as long as you seize Huai Hua as a handle, you can successfully drive Shen Xiu out of Xiuzhuang. Now she has won the lawsuit on Huai Hua's behalf.
Then what should we do."
"It's not what we should do, it's what you should do!" Jia Lin dusted off his clothes and said casually.
Seeing him like this, Wen Xiu Niang had a bad feeling in her heart, "Boss Jia, what do you mean?"
Boss Jia smiled and said: "What do you mean? From now on, we will just go back to the bridge."
Wen Xiu Niang stared at him and said, "What does it mean to return from the bridge to the bridge and return to the bridge?"
Boss Jia said: "Ms. Wenxiu, you are such a smart person, don't you understand what I mean?"
"You asked me for help in order to pay off your husband's gambling debt. As for me, I didn't want to make a losing business, so I spent money to buy information from you. After this transaction is completed, there will be no relationship between us."
Boss Jia said: "But if you change your mind and want to sell me the embroidery method, that's another business. Besides, we have nothing to talk about."
Wenxiu Niang said: "I will not sell you the method of poking yarn embroidery. Hui Niang is very kind to me, and I will not betray her."
What a stupid woman. Jia Lin glanced at her contemptuously. Did she think that betraying Shen Xiu would not harm the interests of Xiuzhuang?
Regardless of whether she was really stupid or just making excuses for herself, Jia Lin didn't want to say anything more to her.
"If you have nothing to do, I'll leave first."
"Wait a minute." Wen Xiu Niang stopped him, "Boss Jia, you're not going to admit your debt, are you? If I'm really caught out by Xiu Zhuang, I'm afraid you won't be in any better shape."
Jia Lin turned around and said, "What do I have to be afraid of? Xiuzhuang and Ruyi Embroidery House are rivals. After this incident comes out, I will just be scolded by your boss behind your back. But you, Wen Xiu Niang, want more
Take care."
After he finished speaking, he laughed a few times and walked away.
Liu Hai watched him leave the teahouse, thought for a while and followed him.
Jia Lin didn't go anywhere and went straight back to Ruyi Embroidery Workshop.
The layout of Ruyi Embroidery Workshop and Embroidery Village is similar. The first floor is used to entertain guests, and the second floor is where the embroiderers work.
Zhu Xiu Niang, who came from Suzhou, has an independent embroidery room on the second floor.
When Jia Lin opened the door of the embroidery room, Zhu Xiu Niang had just put down the scissors in her hand.
"My boss, you are here at the right time. This embroidered statue of Guanyin has been embroidered."
On the dark blue satin ground, Guanyin and the boy beside him are embroidered vividly, especially the Guanyin in the middle, who looks extremely kind.
Jia Lin nodded and smiled: "Zhu Xiu Niang's embroidery skills are indeed good."
Zhu Xiu Niang only smiled faintly: "No matter how well the embroidered statue of Avalokitesvara is embroidered, if you want to get the approval of the Lu family, you have to have something to back it up."
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of things." Jia Lin said, "Now everything is ready and all I need is the east wind."
The old lady of the Lu family has two things that are bothering her recently. One is her granddaughter Lu Yuhan’s recent temper tantrum over her marriage, and the other is her grandson Master Lu San who is suffering from dyspepsia.
Fortunately, Lu Yuhan only had a temper tantrum for a few days and then calmed down.
The old lady of the Lu family put all her thoughts on her grandson. Young Master Lu was suffering from overeating due to overeating.
Originally, the Lu family planned to invite Dr. Lin, a well-known doctor in the city, to come for consultation, but they didn't know that Dr. Lin had already been invited by the county magistrate's wife. Wen Min asked Dr. Lin to take care of his health, so he simply left him in the county government office.
The Lu family couldn't hire Dr. Lin, so they hired another doctor. Unfortunately, this doctor's medical skills were average and he didn't know Master Lu's temperament. The medicinal soup he prescribed was bitter and unpleasant, and Master Lu immediately vomited it.
come out.
The old lady of the Lu family felt sorry for her grandson, so she changed doctors. Unfortunately, her grandson's condition never got better.
That day, the old lady of the Lu family was worrying about this matter, when she saw the housekeeper walking over cautiously.
"Old lady, Ruyi Embroidery Workshop sent an embroidered portrait, saying that this embroidered portrait was customized by the old lady a few days ago."
Mrs. Lu's heart was full of her grandson, so she didn't take this matter to her heart at all. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Put your things down first. We'll talk about this later."
That night, after dinner, Mrs. Lu called the third young master's wet nurse over.
"Third Young Master still don't want to eat anything?"
The nanny smiled and said: "To tell the old lady, the third young master is already feeling better. He drank less than half a bowl of rice porridge and ate two pieces of yam cake in the evening."
"Amitabha." Mrs. Lu recited the Buddha's name and asked the wet nurse why the third young master suddenly felt better now when he had no appetite in the morning.
The wet nurse said: "Thanks to a maid next to the third young master, she heard a recipe somewhere, saying that hawthorn and malt can cure food accumulation. I thought these two things are neither bitter nor unpalatable, so I asked her to
She tried making some. Unexpectedly, after the third young master drank the hawthorn malt water, he was indeed cured."
Mrs. Lu then ordered someone to reward the maid heavily. As soon as the person who gave the reward came back, Mr. Lu came with a smile on his face.
As the saying goes, a child is better than a mother. When Mrs. Lu saw her son like this, she knew something good was coming.
Sure enough, Mr. Lu said: "The people sent to the temple have returned. It is said that the horoscopes of Master Yuan and Miss Qi are very good together, and they will have a good husband and a noble wife in the future."
Old Mrs. Lu said happily: "This is really a happy event. It seems that our seventh girl will be blessed in the future."
Mr. Lu smiled and said: "Mom, there is another happy event coming soon! I have always wanted to invite a good gentleman to enlighten the third child. Unfortunately, there has never been a suitable candidate. Now there is a gentleman from Fucheng who is both knowledgeable and easy-going.
, just right for teaching our third child.”
"This is a happy event." Old Mrs. Lu knew that studying was a serious matter. Now that she heard about the good husband, she felt that it was also a good thing for her grandson.
"Today is such a good day, happy events come one after another." Old Mrs. Lu couldn't help but sigh when she was so happy.
The maid next to Mrs. Lu joked: "It's a coincidence. Ruyi Embroidery Workshop just sent an embroidered statue of Guanyin, so there are so many happy events in the family."
"What kind of embroidery do you mean?" Old Mrs. Lu asked.
The maid smiled and said: "The old lady forgot, Ruyi Embroidery Workshop sent an embroidered statue of Guanyin at that time, but the old lady missed the third young master, so she didn't bother to look at it. Not long after the embroidered statue was delivered, the third young master's
The disease is cured. Now the great master has brought two pieces of good news."
"It's just a coincidence!" Mr. Lu didn't take this matter to heart.
But Mrs. Lu is different. She believes in Buddhism herself, otherwise she would not have asked Zhu Xiu Niang to help embroider an embroidered statue of Guanyin. Now that she heard what the maid said, she immediately wanted to go see the embroidered statue.
The embroidered statue of Avalokitesvara was embroidered by Zhu Xiu Niang to make it lifelike. The image of Avalokitesvara on it has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, as if just being looked at by the Bodhisattva can relieve all kinds of suffering.
Mrs. Lu immediately ordered people to put the embroidered statue of Guanyin in the Buddhist hall. "From now on, I will bow down morning and evening and ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless our family's safety."
For a Buddhist believer like Mrs. Lu, she did not think that such a thing was a coincidence. Instead, she thought it was the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Especially this embroidery statue was sent by Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, so Mrs. Lu also had a better impression of Zhu Xiu Niang. She felt that she was destined to Guanyin, so the embroidered statue of Guanyin was so effective.
Old Mrs. Lu only mentioned this to the maid next to her, but the next day the entire county knew what happened to the Lu family.
Zhu Xiu Niang had a predestined relationship with Guanyin, and word spread that the embroidered statue of Guanyin she embroidered was extremely efficacious.
