Xue's mother said, "How can you run a shop like this? Not for profit, but just for fun? Isn't that a waste of money? The shop, the maids, the embroidery thread, the brocade, and so on, all add up to a lot of expenses day by day."
Xue Huan: "Mom, we have money now, it's okay. Don't we make money to spend it? If Dad were here, he would definitely want you to live happily every day. Now that Dad is gone, it's only right for me, your daughter, to take care of this, so you don't have to worry about money at all."
Xue's mother still had some concerns: "But I don't know how to run a shop, I only know how to embroider. I don't want to be unable to sort out the account books by then."
"That's all right. You just need to take care of the embroidery. I've already found someone to help you with the management of the shop and the accounting."
"Found someone? Who?"
"Let's keep it secret for now. You'll know when you get there." Xue Huan blinked, deliberately keeping the secret.
Mother Xue patted her lightly and said, "You child, you are still playing tricks on me."
Xue Huan could see that she was actually moved, "So you agree?"
"Who said that? I'm going to the county to open a shop. What will happen to Jun'er and Yao'er?"
"Isn't that easy? Our family will still live in Qingyun Lane. You can go to the embroidery workshop during the day. Jun'er is in good health now and doesn't need someone to watch her all the time. I plan to hire a female teacher to teach her how to read and write. As for Yao'er, he can go directly to the county academy. The environment there is definitely better than our country academy."
After hearing this, Xue's mother was moved. Even if she didn't consider herself, she had to think about her child. What Huan'er said made sense.
But she still had one last concern: "Once we're gone, we'll probably have to stay in the county for a long time, only coming back during festivals. What will we do with the vegetable garden to the east?"
The vegetable garden has only been built a few months ago, and the land inside has not been fully planted yet, or even only a small part of it. If left unattended, it will become barren sooner or later.
The vegetable patch now will become abandoned because it has been unattended for a long time.
Xue Huan smiled, "Mom, I've already made arrangements for this. The peppers grown in the vegetable garden are the foundation of our prosperity. I won't ignore it."
The eldest daughter has always been successful in her work. The family's current situation is almost entirely supported by her. Hearing her say this, Xue's mother felt relieved.
Under Xue Huan's smiling gaze, he nodded.
It was already late, so Xue Huan waited until the next day before taking her family back to the county.
She drove the donkey cart directly to the door of the embroidery workshop. In front of Xue's mother's puzzled eyes, she announced, "Mother, I have already bought this yard. Look, the plaque above is already hung. It says 'Jinluyi Embroidery Workshop'. The embroidery workshop has been transferred to your name. Come, I'll take you inside to have a look."
Xue's mother followed her in dazed. Madam Qiao was directing two maids to decorate the hall. This would be the embroidery workshop's front door for entertaining guests in the future, so it had to be ready.
She also started to work quickly and looked very motivated.
Seeing Xue's mother and the others come in, he quickly dropped the things in his hands and came forward, "Hui Niang, you're here?"
Mother Xue was stunned and subconsciously looked at Xue Huan. When she saw her nod, she realized that Madam Qiao was the helper she had invited for her.
"Zhi Niang, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Qiao pulled her into the house and told her the whole story.
Finally, he said, "From now on, I will follow you and do whatever you want. Whether I can live a peaceful life in the second half of my life depends entirely on you."
This is of course a joke.
But Xue's mother held her hand and said solemnly, "Okay."
The two smiled at each other.
The Jinluoyi Embroidery Workshop, which would later become famous throughout the world, was born in this way.
To open an embroidery workshop, there is a lot of preliminary preparation work. It is impossible for only Xue's mother and Qiao's wife to run the shop. Recruiting people is a must.
You also have to stock up on goods, report to the authorities, etc.
However, because she had a lot of things to do, Xue's mother really had no time to be sad. She went to the embroidery workshop after breakfast every day, and was busy all the time. Her spirits were visibly getting better day by day.
Xue Huan saw this and gradually felt relieved.
Since she no longer needed to worry about the embroidery workshop, she focused her energy on the village vegetable garden.
Although she is no longer short of money, she is not going to give up this vegetable garden. She even plans to expand it and build it into an authentic manor.
She had said before that the vegetable garden had been arranged, and she was not saying that to appease Xue's mother.
"Xue Qing, Xue Xiu, from now on, the affairs of the vegetable garden will be handed over to you two."
That day, Xue Huan brought a man and a woman to the vegetable garden. The man's name was Xue Qing, and the woman's name was Xue Xiu. Both of them were very good-looking, but their expressions were a little stiff and cold. However, this was not because of their personalities, but because -
They are puppets!
Xue Huan found them in the warehouse, casually placed in a corner, covered in dust. After discovering that they were puppets, she happily moved them out.
Among the memories that the Five Elements Pearl Spirit had previously transmitted to her, there were those about puppets.
Following the guidance of her memory, she installed spirit stones on the two puppets. These were not real spirit stones. The spirit stones in the space had been exhausted by her, the Five Elements True Person, long ago. This was also the reason why the Five Elements Beads fell into a deep sleep later.
The spiritual stones she uses now are replaced by jade stones soaked in spiritual springs.
The better the quality of the jade, the more spiritual energy it can hold. Once the spiritual energy in the jade is consumed, the jade can no longer store spiritual energy.
She didn't understand the principle behind it, maybe it was because the structure of the jade was destroyed?
In short, the fake spirit stones made from jade are only disposable, and she usually needs spirit stones in many places, so the spirit stones are consumed very quickly. The jade she had looted from Qian Dazhi's warehouse had long been used up.
She bought a lot of jade in private.
But good quality jade is hard to come by.
Back to the puppets, after Xue Huan installed spirit stones on the two puppets, they actually "came to life"!
She originally thought that the two puppets were broken, so she just gave them a try, but she didn't expect that they were still good.
After moving around for a while, they were able to move freely and looked very flexible, no different from real people.
What surprised her most was that the two puppets had perfected their Qi Refining skills and a certain level of intelligence, and could understand her meaning very well.
These are two helpers tailor-made for her!
Xue Huan didn't know whether they had names originally. Since they would be working for herself in the future, they had to have a name, so she gave them each a name. The boy was named Xue Qing and the girl was named Xue Xiu.
