It's almost the end of the month, and the business of Ruyi Embroidery Shop is still very deserted.
Firstly, the Duo Zi Zhang incident ruined the reputation of Ruyi Embroidery Workshop. Now everyone knows that the goods in Ruyi Embroidery Workshop are not genuine and the prices are not real. Secondly, after Zhu Xiu Niang left, some customers who bought embroidery from Zhu Xiu Niang became dissatisfied.
Come to the door again.
Jia Lin has become more and more worried these days. He is not only worried about poor business, but also worried about not being able to find an embroiderer who can outdo the embroidery shop. He is determined to cause trouble for the embroidery shop, but he knows that he can't fight against Shen Xiu, so
After much deliberation, I could only drink to drown my sorrows.
That day he came out of the tavern. He was so drunk that he was unsteady on his feet and accidentally bumped into someone.
Jia Lin opened his drunken eyes and rubbed them carefully again before he saw clearly that he had bumped into a fortune teller.
"Brother, I'm sorry." Jia Lin casually cupped his hands, said this, and continued to walk out.
The fortune teller looked at his back and sighed, "Your Majesty, this step to the east is a big mistake!"
To the east was the direction of Ruyi Embroidery Workshop. Jia Lin couldn't help but turn around and said, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
The fortune teller pretended to be profound and said: "It doesn't mean anything. It was just a slip of the tongue. Please don't take it to heart." After saying that, he shook his head and left.
Jia Lin's curiosity was aroused. He didn't understand why he was wrong to go east, so he grabbed the fortune teller and said, "Brother, don't leave yet. What did you mean by that sentence just now?"
The fortune teller stopped and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies?"
Jia Lin was stunned for a moment, then said: "Of course I want to hear the truth."
The fortune teller looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk. Please come with me, sir."
The fortune teller brought Jia Lin to his fortune telling stall, "I was a little thirsty just now. I wanted to go to the teahouse to ask for a cup of tea, but I didn't want to bump into the guest officer."
When Jia Lin was talking to the fortune teller, he had already seen a few big characters on the table, which read: Ten coins per fortune.
He took out ten copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table, "Is this enough money?"
The fortune teller nodded: "Enough is enough, but I don't know what the guest wants to ask, about the future or heirs?"
Jia Lin said: "Ask about the future. Just now you said that I was totally wrong to go all the way east. Why is that?"
The fortune teller shook his head and said: "Of course you are wrong. My Lord, you are born with gold. The so-called gold brings water. My Lord, it should be easy for you to seek wealth. But when I look at your face, you have the appearance of losing money recently. I will
Judging from the direction you are going, it is to the east, so your store should be located on the east side. This is a big mistake."
"Why can't we open the store in the east?" Jia Lin asked puzzledly.
The fortune teller said: "The east side belongs to wood, which happens to be in conflict with the guest's metal sign. Naturally, it will not be easy to make money."
"Then according to what you said, where should I open a store in the county?" Jia Lin asked.
But the fortune teller shook his head: "Sir, do you know the name of this county?"
Jia Lin thought about it carefully and said, "I heard someone say it when I came here. It seems to be called Huai'an County."
"By the way, it's the word Huai'an." The fortune teller dipped his pen and wrote the word "Huai". "Look, sir, the word "Huai" has a wooden character, which happens to conflict with your golden destiny. So you are here
In Huai'an County, everything is not going well, let alone asking for money, I'm afraid it will be harmful to your life in the future!"
Jia Lin was speechless for a long time. He originally felt that everything was not going well during this period. But now after hearing what the fortune teller said, it suddenly dawned on him. It turned out that he was in a bad situation in the county because he should not have come to Huai'an County to open a shop and do business.
"What Mr. Yi said, where should I open a store?" Jia Lin now believed the other party in his heart and asked sincerely.
The fortune teller had already thought about this question for him, and then he talked eloquently: "My guest, since you belong to gold, you will naturally move closer to the water. As the saying goes, when gold enters water, it will sparkle. This is exactly what you want to do to seek wealth.
What a good sign!”
At the water's edge, Jia Lin thought. To the north of Huai'an County is Qingjiang River. Could it be that he wants to move his shop to Qingjiang River?
Although Jia Lin felt that the fortune teller was right, he was still a little hesitant. After all, moving a shop was not a trivial matter.
But within a few days, news came from the embroidery shop that Shen Xiu had restored the many tents of Ruyi Embroidery Shop to their original state and sold them for one hundred taels of silver.
This news made Jia Lin so angry that he almost vomited blood.
I worked hard to make more than 20 pieces of embroidery, but I didn't make a penny, but it damaged the reputation of the embroidery workshop.
As for the other party, he only gave him the cost price and bought back the many accounts. Now after tinkering with them, he sold them for a hundred taels of silver.
This is simply using the embroiderers of Ruyi Embroidery Shop to make money.
But Jia Lin had no choice. The technique belonged to others, and he agreed to sell the tent. What he could do was to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
However, this incident made Jia Lin understand a fact.
This Huai'an County is indeed in conflict with him, and he is indeed no match for Shen Xiu.
In terms of background, Shen Xiu had the support of the county magistrate's wife, so he couldn't compete with the opponent. In terms of technique, the opponent had both poke yarn embroidery and Na yarn embroidery, while he only had a few embroiderers with average embroidery skills.
In terms of calculating skills, he is still not as good as the other party. Just by looking at these two times, he knows that he has not been able to get any benefit from the other party. On the contrary, the other party has used him to make some money.
Since there are various disadvantages to opening a shop here, you should listen to the fortune teller and find a place with water.
Jia Lin had this idea and closed Ruyi Embroidery Workshop the next day.
By the time everyone in the embroidery village knew the news, Jia Lin had already moved with several embroiderers and workers to Linjiang County in the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River.
Shopkeeper Liu and Madam Hui were surprised and delighted by Jia Lin's actions.
After Ruyi Embroidery Shop closed down, they were the only embroidery shop left in the county, and they could easily make money from now on.
So when shopkeeper Liu talked about this, he was all smiles.
However, after Hui Niang was happy, she raised a question: "Then if Ruyi Embroidery Workshop had not moved, how could it have persisted for half a year? Why did it suddenly move?"
Shopkeeper Liu said: "What does the owner want to do so much? There must be his own reasons for moving Ruyi Embroidery Workshop. Should we make careful plans next?"
Huiniang said: "I know what you said. But there is one thing that I haven't figured out yet. There was a mole in our embroidery village before. Although we haven't been able to find out, I always feel a little uneasy.
Ruyi Embroidery Workshop has left, but there is no guarantee that this traitor will still cause trouble in the future."
"What does the boss mean?" Shopkeeper Liu heard Hui Niang mention the mole and felt that if the mole was not found out, it would be a hidden danger, so he asked Hui Niang what his plan was.
Huiniang said: "I always feel that Mrs. Shen probably knows about this traitor. If you don't tell me now, she is probably afraid that I will be embarrassed. After all, all three embroiderers have a close relationship with me. So, you
Call her quietly for me, I want to ask her to find out who this traitor is?"
