Chapter 1026 Zhao Xi Proposes Marriage
Both mother and daughter are gentle people. Although they only arrived last night, they got along very well with Ah Xiang and her daughter.
However... this garment workshop is still a bit too small.
It was fine for Ah Xiang and her daughter to live there, but with two more people, the space for storing fabrics and clothes became much narrower and more uncomfortable.
Shu Yu looked around the tailor room and then said to Shu You, "Sister, why don't we let Tian Qin and her mother move to the backyard of Yi Ren Ge? It's still empty there, and the clothes here are going to be sent to the shop after they're finished anyway. If there's any embroidery needed on the clothes, we can have Tian Qin embroider it."
Even if a customer wants a particular pattern, they can discuss it on the spot.
The backyard of Yiren Pavilion was originally home to Da Niu and his wife, but the rooms there have been empty ever since they went to manage the estate.
Fortunately, there wasn't much stock left in the shop's backyard, and the money was brought back daily. Furthermore, given Shu Yu's current status as a local magistrate, no one dared to sneak into the shop to steal anything.
But this is not safe in the long run, and someone still needs to keep an eye on things.
It would be perfect for Tian Qin and her daughter to go there; Ning Shui Street is bustling and convenient for getting around.
To everyone's surprise, Shu You shook her head and said, "That's what I originally thought too, but Tian Qin said she wanted to rent a small house to live in and come to work every day, which would be more comfortable. However, she is new to Jiangyuan County and not familiar with it, so she asked me to help her find a small courtyard nearby. Before that, she will stay in the garment workshop for two days."
Shu Yu thought about it and agreed that this was a good idea.
If it were her, she would also choose to rent a house and live alone.
The matter was settled, the embroiderer was found, and Shuyu planned to talk to her sister about the orchids.
Before she could even speak, Shu You brought it up first.
"Ayu, I'm thinking of finding someone else to learn makeup skills. What do you think of... Lan Hua?"
Shu Yu opened her mouth, and it turned out they had the same idea?
She paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you think, sister?"
"Lanhua has loved dressing herself up since she was little. I remember when she was little, she would find a piece of charcoal to draw her eyebrows, use balsam juice to paint her fingernails, and pick flowers to put in her hair. Although it looked strange at the time, now that I think about it, if her family had been rich back then, Lanhua would probably have been the one who dressed herself up the best."
Compared to Shu Yu, Shu You, who grew up with Lan Hua, clearly has a deeper understanding of her.
Shu Yu laughed. Her eldest sister was growing up faster than she had imagined. After her trip to the prefectural city, she understood even more clearly the future development of the shop and the manpower needed.
It seems that from now on, I can leave all the shop-related matters to my eldest sister.
She laughed and said, "If you think she's capable, then ask Lan Hua for her opinion."
"good."
Shu You cheered up, but she didn't have much time these past few days.
She had to make arrangements for Tian Qin and her daughter first, and then Zhao Xi couldn't wait to bring the matchmaker to propose marriage.
Just two days later, Meng Yunzheng also returned to Jiangyuan County.
He came with Zhao Xi, and he made quite a show of it.
Zhao Xi clearly wanted to announce to the world that both he and Shu You were already taken. The neighbors in Liufang Lane no longer needed to act as matchmakers for them.
So early in the morning, he changed into a brand new set of clothes, had Meng Yunzheng help him carry a goose, and, with the betrothal letter in hand, followed the matchmaker and knocked on the Lu family's door with great spirit.
