Chapter 256 Flourishing (Part [-])

Gu Xiyan served tea to see off the guests and returned to the Liyuan, feeling a little frustrated.

Excitedly thought of a way, but there is such a big loophole.

She absent-mindedly sewed clothes on the pillow.

After a few stitches, Mo Ju came in and said, "Ma'am, the young mistress of the Cui family has come to deliver clothes."

Gu Xiyan was startled.

When she first assigned the work, she knew that the maidservants of Liu Meier's family were very good at making female celebrities. Although she said in front of Liu Meier that she would help make 86 sets of clothes, she only asked her to help. There were 36 sets, but the ones assigned to Liu Meier were all adult clothes, while on my side, they were all children's clothes...

She couldn't help asking: "Could it be that you have finished all the sewing work you brought to Cui's family?"

"Well," Xing Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "It's all done. Sister Qiugui is about to order clothes with Sister Mo Ju!"

"Xi Yan, could it be that you haven't finished your work yet?" While speaking, Liu Mei'er had lifted the curtain and entered, her face was slightly tired: "The wind is blowing on your body, and it's getting warmer every day, don't hurry up, I'm afraid they can only be worn as autumn clothes."

Gu Xiyan couldn't help sweating from her temples, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Xing Yu, I haven't served tea to the young mistress yet."

Xing Yu suppressed a smile and left in response.

Liu Meier sat on the kang, her eyes fell on the needlework in Gu Xiyan's hands.

"What are you doing all this!" She stared wide-eyed, picked up the clothes in Gu Xiyan's hand, looked at them again, and then stared at Gu Xiyan, "I think back then, you also learned from female celebrities like me." Yes, how do you make such a thing!"

Gu Xiyan picked up the clothes and looked at them again and again: "What's the matter, the stitches are the same size, and the joints are also beautifully tied... Is there anything wrong?"

Liu Mei'er had bulging veins on her temples, and her voice contained anger: "Yunshang, go to Moju and get a dress I made."

"No need!" Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "No need! I know your girl is good! But these are not silk and satin, and they are clothes for children, as long as they can be worn, there is no need to be so particular... "

Liu Meier glared at her fiercely: "No wonder the things in your house are all made by the sewing class... I think it's because the things you make are all out of your hands..."

"I know your girl is good..." At this point, she was startled suddenly, with a cheerful smile on her face, "Sister, I know your girl is good, are you willing to accept apprentices?"

Liu Meier was stunned, and said: "Do you want me to teach Hongluan? She is too tempered... If you must teach her, it's fine, and you have to be present..."

Gu Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled: "No!" Then she told her that she was planning to organize those women who were living in poverty because of their husband's death in the battle to form a sewing team, "...I thought so, so I took it." Looking at the work of the military robes of Duke Yan’s mansion, it seems that even if you ask the master for help, you can only take part of it. And the price is relatively low, so you can’t make a lot of money..." She said, her mind was spinning rapidly, "I want to To make a lot of money, you have to be skilled... But those women, I guess there are not many who can read and write, and they can do things with high technology... I have never seen a better person than you... Take it with you, those who are not talented can make rough military robes; those who are talented can do some fine work, and the price is higher..."

"What are you talking about in such a mess? Didn't you just ask me to teach you girls? Why are you talking so complicated that people can't hear you?" Liu Mei'er looked a little embarrassed, "This matter, it's good... ...What will Brother Sheng do...and what will Mr. Xiang do... Besides, this needlework is not only about talent, but also about age. From a young age, it is always smarter than those who are older. ...I have to go back and discuss this matter with my husband..."

"Of course!" Gu Xiyan said with a smile.

It can't let there be a gap between Liu Meier and Cui Zhongyuan's husband and wife because of this!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help saying: "Sister, let's send clothes to Mrs. Han tomorrow, and drop by her for a meal!"

Liu Meier stared at her: "It's not very far away, why go to someone else's house for dinner... If he treats you to a meal, I can eat for three days at home... It doesn't matter if I accompany you to deliver clothes, as for the meal, you'd better come back to eat! "

Gu Xiyan laughed haha.

* * * * * *
The next day, Gu Xiyan and Liu Meier went to deliver clothes to Mrs. Han.

Liu Meier murmured all the way: "You didn't do it on purpose... You're just dawdling, you have to wait until this time to go out..."

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but argue: "You have been waiting for me in the Liyuan since morning, don't you know what I did!"

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Cui family returned to her home, and Gu Xiyan presided over the central support of the Qi mansion.

She took office as a new official with three fires. First, she took out all the positions in the family, large and small, for research, and deleted some unnecessary positions. A group of people changed a group of people.

Now that there are rules and regulations for housework, she doesn't need to worry about it, but it is necessary to listen to the stewards' reply every morning and get a waist card to do things.

Liu Meier argued strongly: "Then you can go in the afternoon... It seems that it's time to have lunch, don't you just want to eat lunch on purpose?"

"Didn't I ask Liang Zhangzhu to go to Gong's house?" Gu Xiyan glared at her, "Their family is in the cloth business, and I ordered a batch of cloth from her shop to make winter clothes... she Delivery only this morning..."

Liu Meier was puzzled and said: "It's only spring, why did you think of winter clothes..."

"Aren't I slow to do this?" Gu Xiyan flattered casually, "The child will be born in May, who will have the time to take care of these things... Prepare now, and do it when you have free time !"

At this point, Liu Mei'er thought of something else: "Will the Duke come back? I heard from Mr. Xiang that the court has gone back and forth and asked us to send troops to attack Liang again..."

Gu Xiyan responded vaguely.

What Liu Meier was talking about was old Huangli.In February of this year, Qi Maosheng sent Qi Qi as a general to attack Liangdi for the second time, and now he has occupied the entire Shannan County.Just a few days ago, Qi Maosheng wrote a letter, saying that Mrs. Hu of Jin State Duke's Mansion sent a messenger to He County to propose marriage to Qi Maosheng and ask to marry Hongluan, but he refused.

After a while, they arrived at Gong's residence, and Mrs. Han had already greeted them at the gate.

After the two parties saluted, the Han family sent a lame middle-aged man to help them take the clothes in.

Everyone went to the living room to drink tea and chatted a few gossips, and Chunhua came to report that Liang Zhangzhu had come.

Mrs. Han glanced at Gu Xiyan, and said with a smile: "Young Madam ordered a batch of cloth for us, and you led a few people to help arrange the cloth and put it in the back room, and said that I have guests here, I really can't go away."

Chunhua answered obediently, and walked away timidly.

But Liu Meier stared at Chunhua for a while, and said seriously: "Sister Han, do you have more people with broken feet or more broken hands?"

Gu Xiyan almost choked on a sip of tea in her throat.

Han Shi also laughed, and said: "In our mansion, what kind of people are similar?"

Only then did Liu Meier feel that she had said something wrong, her face blushed, and she said embarrassedly: "Sister Han, I didn't mean that..." At this point, she glanced at Gu Xiyan, "Yesterday Xiyan told me to Take a few apprentices, if you don’t have broken hands here... no, no, it’s not the ones that haven’t broken hands, the ones that can move their hands, and that’s not the case, even those that can embroider, I can teach them... I’m following Lu Jiu I dare not say anything else about the female celebrity I learned from my mother, but this embroiderer can still do it well..."

Han Shi also understood what she meant, and after careful consideration, she also felt that this was a good way.

Leaving aside whether she can get a job after finishing her studies, just helping to make winter clothes and summer clothes for this big family, for her, it also relieved a great burden.

She smiled and said: "Then I will not be polite, I thank Young Mistress Cui here!" After speaking, she got up and blessed Liu Mei'er.

"Don't dare to be a gift from my sister!" Liu Mei'er hurriedly stood up and returned the gift to Han Shi, "It's just that I can't come to the house to teach, can you let them go to my place every few days?"

Although Yandi is no better than Shengjing, after all, under the influence of Shengjing for many years, the children of some noble families in Yandi do not easily show their faces.

Han said hurriedly: "That's natural, that's natural!"

The two agreed in this way, and after everyone said a few more words, Liu Meier urged Gu Xiyan to leave.

Gu Xiyan smiled at Han Shi, and left with Liu Meier first.

After sending Gu and Liu away, Mrs. Han went to the back room.

Liang Zhangzhu was counting cloth with Chun Hua and Ju Hong, she looked a little dazed, and counted several times before she could count clearly.

Seeing Mrs. Han coming, Liang Zhangzhu hurriedly went up to greet her, saluted Mrs. Han respectfully, and said with a smile, "Young madam is gone?"

Mrs. Han nodded, and said: "Young Madam Cui said there was still something to do, so she dragged the young lady away!"

Liang Zhangzhu said with a smile: "The relationship between these two sisters is quite good!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Han said with a smile, "Young Madam wants to help me, organize and set up a sewing team to do some work, and specially brought Young Mistress Cui here to help teach female celebrities..."

Liang Zhangzhu was startled.

When she lived here with the Han family, she felt that there was something wrong with the family, but at that time she was unknown, life and death were uncertain, and she didn't think too much about it. Although she came to give gifts several times to thank the Han family for taking her in, the Han family was a A person with arrogance refuses to accept anything that is expensive.Naturally, she doesn't want to give generous gifts anymore. She just asks people to send some ordinary gifts during the festivals... If it wasn't for this time she sent the cloth to the back room and passed through several yards, she really didn't know Gong. The mansion also took in so many people with disabilities, and what she didn't expect was that the young lady wanted to set up a sewing team for this matter!
