Afterwards, Magistrate Zuo found an opportunity and mentioned the jade bracelet to Shi County Cheng.
Shi County Cheng has been keeping his tail between his legs these days. Although he has cleared up his relationship with those gangsters, those gangsters are fighting for his power in the end. He is afraid that County Magistrate Zuo will fall out at the slightest suggestion.
So I have been working very diligently these past few days.
When County Magistrate Zuo suggested that Wen Min was interested in the pair of jade bracelets, Shi County Cheng agreed without even thinking about it. There would be more jade bracelets, but Magistrate Zuo must not be offended.
He was just about to avenge his crime and make meritorious service, so he wanted this jade bracelet at the right time.
But when Shi Xiancheng came to see Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Ma refused to give up the jade bracelet.
Shi Xiancheng didn't bother to reason with her, so he directly held Mrs. Ma down and found the pair of jade bracelets from the dressing box.
For this pair of jade bracelets, Madam Ma worked hard for half a year. But this is a story for another day.
After Wen Min got the jade bracelet again, she invited Shen Xiu over.
"I'm going to get this jade bracelet back for you. You should put it away this time and don't let anyone snatch it away again."
Shen Xiuhan smiled and said: "No. The streets are very calm now. Everyone said it was thanks to the county magistrate's wife."
Wen Min smiled lightly and said: "Don't flatter me, I won't do this. What's going on between you and Luo Si? Why did I hear the maid say that you seemed to know each other, and we talked in the corner for a long time."
"What Luo Si, who are you talking about, madam?" Shen Xiu said with a confused look on her face.
Wen Min said: "Luo Si is my cousin, the young master you saw last time you came here."
Shen Xiudao: "It turns out to be that young master. I think the maid made a mistake. This is the first time I have met that young master."
Wen Min didn't believe it. His maids were all trained by him and would not tell lies.
However, since Shen Xiu refused to admit it, Wen Min did not ask any more questions, but simply said: "My cousin is a well-known playboy. It would be best if you don't recognize him."
Shen Xiu just laughed it off. Whether the other party was a dandy or not had nothing to do with him. Anyway, she would not deal with him in the future.
Wen Min felt tired easily after being pregnant, so Shen Xiu came out after not sitting for a long time.
The last time she met Luo Gong at the county government office, he skipped class. However, it was not such a coincidence every time, so Shen Xiu didn't meet anyone and quickly left the backyard.
This day was the day when Lu Yuhan's ladies came to pick up the embroidery. Shen Xiu hurriedly hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the shop before the ladies arrived.
Several girls came to Shen Xiu's embroidery shop with a smile. Shen Xiu entertained them and took out their customized embroidery work.
"Axiu, why don't you even have a waiter in this shop?" Lu Yuhan is the most familiar with Shen Xiu and speaks the most carelessly. "You are working here alone, inside and outside, and there is no one to help you."
Shen Xiu smiled and said: "I also want to find a female clerk, but there is no suitable person at the moment."
"Are you looking for a female partner?" One of the girls turned around and asked, "I do have a suitable candidate."
"Fourth cousin, who are you talking about?" Lu Yuhan asked on behalf of Shen Xiu.
The girl Lu Yuhan called her fourth cousin was a girl from a branch of the Lu family. Her surname was Lu and her last name was Caiwei. She said: "I used to have a maid named Ling Dong. Later, when she was seventeen, she was let out and married.
She was given the job of being the first lady of a small family. After marrying Rendong, she gave birth to a son and a daughter, and her life was pretty good.
But since the death of her father-in-law, the situation at home has not been very good. A few days ago, Liandong asked someone to send me a message, asking me to find a job for her.
But I am a girl, so how can I find a job for her? Now that you mention the female clerk, I think Lonicera is a suitable candidate. She is hard-working and sweet-tongued, you will know it once you have seen her. "
Shen Xiu was pleased to hear this, and said: "It's just that I run a small business, and I'm afraid that Lonicera may think the wages are low."
"No." Lu Caiwei said, "She has two children to support now, and she won't be picky. If you think it's feasible, I'll ask her to see you tomorrow."
After talking about the female clerk, Shen Xiu opened the cloth towel on the sewing basket, revealing the embroidered handkerchief.
"This is your customized embroidered handkerchief. If you are not satisfied, you can return it directly."
Shen Xiu dared to say this, and she had the confidence to do so, because she had worked hard to make these handkerchiefs. Not only were they made of fine silk threads, but they were also split extremely finely, truly achieving the word "fine".
The flowers on the embroidered handkerchief are not only fresh, but there is also an ancient poem embroidered next to them.
These ancient poems are all in hairpin fonts, embroidered with fine black embroidery thread, and the shades and weights of the pen and ink are all expressed. They look just like they are written.
After several girls got the veil, they all admired it and paid the money happily.
Lu Caiwei also ordered a handkerchief before, and the pattern was a cluster of orchids that she had never seen before.
This orchid has a graceful posture. When Lu Caiwei was choosing a flower, she caught her eye at first sight and felt that it was different from any other orchid she had ever seen.
Now that the handkerchief was embroidered, Lu Caiwei held the handkerchief and felt that the orchids on it were embroidered so vividly, as if she could smell the elegant orchid fragrance with just a slight sniff.
She liked the veil very much, and when she returned home, she ordered the maid next to her to put it away.
Lu Caiwei watched the maid put away the handkerchief and was about to ask someone to send a message to Lonicera and bring her to Shen Xiu's shop another day.
Before she could say anything, a bustling voice came from outside, "My aunt is back."
When Lu Caiwei heard that her eldest sister was back, she didn't even bother to change her clothes and hurried to her mother's yard.
Lu Caiwei's eldest sister, her aunt Lu Cailian, got married in Fucheng the year before last. This is her first time coming back to visit relatives.
As soon as she had finished meeting her mother, Lu Caiwei came.
"After several years of not seeing each other, my fourth sister looks even more beautiful." Lu Cailian looked at her sister and said with a smile.
Lu Caiwei said with red eyes: "Sister, didn't you agree to come back to see us every year? Why does it take so long to come back?"
Lu Cailian's eyes darkened. She was not welcomed by her husband in her husband's house, and she was not happy with her parents-in-law. Naturally, she did not dare to ask for a return to her parents' house. If it hadn't been for a reason this time, she would not have come back.
Seeing that the eldest daughter was uncomfortable, Mother Lu quickly interrupted: "Caiwei, your eldest sister has been running all the way, let her rest for a while! You go back first!"
As soon as Lu Caiwei left, Lu Cailian smiled bitterly, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to come back, but..."
"I understand your difficulties." Mother Lu comforted her eldest daughter, "How can you be as comfortable as a daughter-in-law as you are as a girl?"
Lu Cailian's eyes turned red when she heard this, but she held back her tears. After a while, she said, "Mom, I'm coming back this time for the Winter Solstice Banquet in more than a month."
"My mother-in-law is very worried about this Winter Solstice Banquet because she wants to use this banquet to find a better husband's family for my sister-in-law." Lu Cailian said, "I think this is an opportunity. If I can help my mother-in-law organize this,
The banquet may win her old man's favor."
Mother Lu nodded and said, "You are right to think so. Life is easy. As long as you plan well, everything will be fine."
Lu Cailian said: "So I took the opportunity to come back. Firstly, I came back to take a look, and secondly, I wanted to buy two rare things that are not available in the city."
Mother Lu frowned slightly and said, "This is difficult. There is nothing good in Fucheng, and your mother-in-law has high standards. I'm afraid there is nothing that can catch her eye in the county town."
Lu Cailian said: "Anyway, I only do my best, and the rest is up to fate!"
