Chapter 164: He Must Have Something Against the Third Master
"I remember that Jin Wen and Jin Wu have been teaching you all the time?" Xiao Jiuyue pinched his face. His face still had the baby fat and looked chubby. Every time she pinched it, Xiao Jiuyue felt that this chubby face was particularly easy to pinch!
"Sister, can you please stop pinching my face?" Xiao Jiayuan's face turned red after being pinched, like a cooked shrimp.
"Why, now that you've grown up you dislike your sister?" Xiao Jiuyue pinched Xiao Jiayuan's face hard again. Fearing that the little guy would get angry, Xiao Jiuyue cleared her throat and said, "Guo Sheng and the others will be leaving soon."
"Don't worry, Master Guo said that as long as he stays at the Xiao family for one day, he can teach me for one day." Xiao Jiayuan said the words he had prepared long ago, and said, "Sister, Jin Wen and Jin Wu are also very good, but I think it's good to have many skills. Everyone teaches differently."
Xiao Jiuyue suppressed her smile, pulled him to her side, and said, "Guo Sheng is a capable general by the Third Prince's side. If I teach you kung fu, I'm afraid it will delay him."
"But, Master Guo said he could teach me." Xiao Jiayuan was skeptical.
"Mom asks you to do something, but you are very busy. Will you refuse?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Xiao Jiayuan shook his head and said, "How could I refuse what my mother asked me to do?"
"So, Master Guo is also doing this for the Xiao family's sake." Xiao Jiuyue's words silenced Xiao Jiayuan, and his eyes suddenly dimmed. Xiao Jiuyue comforted him, "Jiayuan, when Manager Jin comes back, I'll have him teach you Qinggong. As long as you can endure the hardship!"
"Sister, I'm not afraid of hardship." Guo Jiayuan's eyes brightened again when he heard this.
After sending Xiao Jiayuan away, Xiao Jiuyue called Lianxin over.
"Don't worry, miss. I'll go and tell him right away." Lianxin went to the front yard and saw Jun Lie. Although the Third Prince looked frail, the casual look he gave her made Lianxin feel a chill in her heart. She subconsciously straightened her back.
Lian Xin finished Xiao Jiuyue's words in one breath. She stood there waiting for a long time before she heard the Third Prince's voice say, "Among the three of them, one must be my teacher."
"Yes, I will tell the young lady every word when I go back." After Lianxin retreated and left the house, she breathed a sigh of relief. Just after she took a few steps, she was blocked by Guo Sheng.
Lian Xin was forced directly to the side corridor. Guo Sheng's puzzled voice rang in her ears: "Why doesn't Miss Xiao agree to let me teach Master Jia Yuan? My Qinggong is very good."
If it was because he wanted to compete with Guo Yang at the beginning, and later he wanted to teach Xiao Jiayuan how to praise people sincerely, now Guo Sheng feels that he must teach this young master Xiao Jiayuan, otherwise, wouldn't it seem that he is inferior to Jin Wen and Jin Wu?
"My young lady said that the Third Prince is very busy and she is afraid that it will delay his important work." Lian Xin answered with a smile, looking at Guo Sheng's face. She heard all of Guo Sheng's mutterings about the young lady today.
"I..." Guo Sheng wanted to explain something, but Lian Xin made an excuse and said, "The young lady is still waiting for my reply. I have to leave first."
Lian Xin found an excuse and left quickly. Guo Sheng wanted to catch up with her, but Lian Xin jogged into the backyard. Guo Sheng had no choice but to stop. He muttered, "Miss Xiao must have something against the Third Master."
…
"Miss, will there be any consequences if you reject the Third Prince like this?" Lian Xin still felt her chest pounding. Standing in front of the Third Prince, she felt like she couldn't say a word.
"I'm just saving the Third Prince some trouble." Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly as she said, "Alright, forget about it. Hurry to the door and see if Tian Jinhong, Aunt Shi, and Aunt He have arrived."
"Yes." Lianxin responded and immediately went to the door to greet him.
Xiao Jiuyue was concentrating on drawing the drawings. She had seen so many styles of ancient clothes. With a little improvement, from color matching to accessories, small changes could make the clothes more lively.
Meiren Niang and Aunt Xiao San were able to bring out all the styles that were popular in Shengjing in the past. From her perspective in later life, even styles that were popular in the past would be trendy in Lancang County!
The most urgent task is to recruit more embroiderers!
"Miss, Aunt Shi and the others have arrived, and Mr. Shang has also come back and said he wants to see the eldest lady." Lianxin came back not long after.
Xiao Jiuyue drew the last stroke, put down his pen, and went directly to the front yard to meet Shang Ting.
People are in high spirits when good things happen. Compared to the dusty and nervous Shang Ting when he first arrived in Hongdu, Shang Ting is now full of energy and energy, his eyes full of joy. He said excitedly: "Miss, this is the order we received today. One-third of the fabric has been sold, and we have received 36 pieces of ready-made clothes!"
"It's because there are not enough embroiderers, so I dare not make more. Otherwise, I would have to make even more ready-made clothes!" Shang Ting became more and more excited as he spoke. This time he brought a shipload of cloth and put it in Mingzhou. I'm afraid that these cloths will not be sold out until autumn. Maybe they will become stale cloth and be sold at a reduced price!
But this time, one third of the cloth in the entire ship was sold in one day. He believed that the entire ship's cloth would be sold out soon.
Xiao Jiuyue gestured for Shang Ting to sit down. She held out a cup of tea and said, "Second Master Shang, this is just the beginning. Is the second batch of fabric from Mingzhou ready?"
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Miss. The ship will be dispatched in five days as agreed." Shang Ting was still worried at the time. What if the two ships of cloth could not be sold? If they had to be shipped back, he would definitely lose money on that batch of cloth.
Now, Shang Ting just felt that it was a good thing that he listened to his son Shang Yifan's words: since you have decided to trust the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, then go all the way.
"Well, Mr. Shang, just prepare your goods." After Xiao Jiuyue and Shang Ting finished talking about Zhiyun Tower, they went to meet Aunt Shi and the others.
Aunt Shi, Aunt He and Tian Jinhong were waiting for Xiao Jiuyue in the backyard. It was summer now, and the three of them were standing in the pavilion with exquisite snacks on the table, and they didn't move at all.
"Sorry for the long wait." Xiao Jiuyue walked into the pavilion and apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay. We just got here too." Aunt Shi shook her head repeatedly. Although she had been to the Xiao family several times, every time she came, she couldn't help but sigh that the garden of this rich family was different from the house of their peasant family!
Looking at a simple pavilion, there are camellias planted everywhere on the mountain, but they are planted neatly and orderly on both sides of the pavilion, giving people a feeling of entering a garden.
"Sit down." Xiao Jiuyue sat directly on the stone bench. The evening breeze blew, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. She took the initiative to pick up a piece of dessert and tasted it, then gestured for them to try it. After they sat down and tasted the dessert, she asked, "Yangmei, do you have any more?"
"Miss Xiao, we came here today just to talk about this." Aunt Shi responded immediately after hearing this.
Tian Jinhong also said: "The bayberries have been picked almost all now, and the workshop can start making canned bayberries tomorrow."
