Chapter 394: It’s a pity that the Third Master is a lame man
"Third Master, it's really strange that a father would sue his own daughter." Liu Gui said with emotion as he drove the carriage, "What a result! Such a big thing has been revealed."
After he finished speaking, he paused, clicked his tongue, and added: "This time, the Shangshu Mansion is likely to be in trouble."
He originally went to the gate of Shuntian Prefecture to inquire what major case was being tried inside that had blocked the road.
As a result, I accidentally started eating melons, and I liked it more and more.
It was not until the Shuntian prefect sent someone to collect the evidence that he remembered that he had forgotten the Third Master.
Fortunately, the Third Master did not blame him.
After hearing what Liu Gui said, the Third Master said indifferently, "That's what they deserve. Those who do evil will eventually perish."
"Third Master is right." Liu Gui nodded quickly and said, "To be honest, the eldest daughter of the Lin family is also unlucky. No, it can't be said that she is unlucky. If she had married the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, she would have been truly unlucky..."
Liu Gui started talking nonstop while driving the carriage.
"However, I heard that the young lady has been hiding in a remote countryside for many years. What's her name? Yes, it seems to be a village in Fengqi County..."
When the Third Master heard Liu Gui mention Fengqi County, his expression changed slightly.
"Fengqi County..." The Third Master murmured, his eyes becoming somewhat distant.
Liu Gui, who was outside the carriage, naturally did not hear the Third Master's whisper.
His tone changed, and he asked nervously, "Third Master, what sells best when shipped overseas?"
This was asked by one of his brothers.
His brother also wanted to take a gamble and go out to sea with him to earn some money to supplement the family income.
But everyone knows that going out to sea is a gamble with your life.
If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
"Porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and embroidery are all good and can all be sold at high prices," the Third Master said bluntly, "However, porcelain is fragile and calligraphy and paintings are easily damaged by moisture. Moreover, these two items are already expensive. Embroidery, on the other hand, is more profitable. If it is a high-quality embroidery, it can be sold at a sky-high price overseas..."
After hearing what the third master said, Liu Gui immediately decided to tell his brother and buy embroidery products when the time comes.
At the same time, she thought to herself that the Third Master would definitely buy a large amount of embroidery next time he went out to sea.
"Stop." The third master in the carriage suddenly said.
Liu Gui quickly pulled the reins.
A fragrance came and Liu Gui immediately understood.
The Third Master must be buying roast duck from Juxiang Pavilion for the Third Madam to take home.
The Third Master really loves his wife.
"Third Master, I'm going..."
"Need not."
The Third Master lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage without waiting for Liu Gui to finish speaking.
Then, he limped to Juxiang Pavilion.
Liu Gui looked at the back of the Third Master and sighed.
The third master is handsome and good at making money, but unfortunately he is lame.

Daliushu Village.
The news that the Su family was going to open an embroidery studio immediately caused a sensation.
"Mrs. Su, do you think I can come and learn?" the village chief's wife asked excitedly.
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "Of course I can."
"Sister-in-law Su, what about me?"
"What about me?"
Everyone rushed into the Su family and started asking questions.
Old Lady Su simply said loudly: "Women in our village can come and learn in their spare time."
"Do you want money?" someone asked.
"No!" Old Mrs. Su said with a smile, "We are all from the same village, no money is needed."
Everyone was very happy.
Everyone looked at Old Mrs. Su with gratitude in their eyes.
"That's great! If you study well, you can bring in some income for the family in the future."
"That's right! We're all benefiting from Fuya again...
"That's right! Thanks to our Fuya..."
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
She didn't seem to mention the little girl's name.
Old Mrs. Su was receiving the women from Daliushu Village in the yard, while Gu Xiu Niang was discussing the rules of opening an embroidery studio with Xiao Tangbao in the house.
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact the ancient embroiderer was making suggestions.
Because she felt that Xiao Tangbao had no rules and just wanted to improve the living standards in the village and the status of women in the family.
"Young lady, you are kind and generous, which is good, but opening an embroidery studio is different from other studios. You can't rush it." Gu Xiu Niang said solemnly, "If it were simply to teach people embroidery, it wouldn't matter. But opening an embroidery studio is different. You must train a group of beautiful women of your own."
"These concubines are the foundation of the Embroidery Room, so they must sign a contract with the Embroidery Room. Otherwise, if the concubines have second thoughts, the consequences will be very serious. The lightest case is that the Embroidery Room will be closed, and the most serious case may involve the Su family's bankruptcy."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Well, she was sure that Aunt Gu was not exaggerating.
If the embroidery workshop received a big order, the concubines would suddenly go on strike.
If we can’t deliver the goods on time, won’t we have to pay compensation and lose everything?
This is still good. What if the contract is to embroider dragon robes and phoenix robes?
Little Tangbao touched his little neck and thought it would be better if it grew stronger.
"Auntie Gu means... that we select young girls with embroidery talent and sign a contract with them?" Xiao Tangbao said.
A happy smile appeared on Gu Xiuniang's face.
Although you are young, Miss, you are so smart!
I understand it at once!
"That's right," said the embroiderer with a smile, "If you want to learn the true Gu needlework, it takes at least three or four years, usually four or five years, or even longer."
"So, the girls in the Gu clan all started learning embroidery when they were five or six years old."
"Despite this, only a few extremely talented children are qualified to learn flying needle acupuncture after they are in their teens."
Most children will never be qualified to learn flying needle acupuncture in their entire life.
After listening to what Gu Xiu Niang said, Xiao Tangbao looked at his chubby little paws.
I was thinking to myself whether I should remind Aunt Gu that I was only four years old and not yet old enough to learn embroidery like the members of the Gu clan.
"Miss, you are extremely talented. You can learn embroidery now." said the ancient embroiderer.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Aunt Gu, can you read minds?
"In that case, let's slowly select from the young ladies in the village." Xiao Tangbao said, "When we find someone with talent, we can ask her if she wants to sign a contract with us.
"If she signs the contract, we will pay her wages during her apprenticeship."
"For those who don't sign a contract, we can continue to teach, but we won't pay them."
"Auntie Gu, what do you think of this?" Xiao Tangbao finally asked.
Gu Xiu Niang nodded repeatedly.
The lady is so smart!
She didn't even mention it, but I understood it all by myself.
However, he added, "For those who don't sign a contract, we will only teach the first few needle techniques. The essence of the following ancient needle techniques must be used as our unique skills and signature, so we can't teach them to everyone."
Xiao Tangbao thought about it and nodded to show his understanding.
To put it simply, Gu's acupuncture method belongs to Aunt Gu.
It is rare that Aunt Gu can teach me this.
Moreover, Aunt Gu did this for the long-term interests of Xiufang.
"Miss, if you can find an embroidery shop or a cloth shop to buy our embroidery, or help sell it for us, then our embroidery workshop can gradually become famous." The ancient embroidery lady said: "Otherwise, if our embroidery workshop cannot sell its embroidery..."
Gu Xiu Niang didn't say anything else, but Xiao Tangbao understood that she was talking about the sales problem.
Admittedly, the sales problem is a big problem.
Whether it is the future embroidery studio of their own family or the aunts and ladies in the village who have learned embroidery, they will only make real profits if the embroidery they produce can be sold.
If it can't be sold, there's no point in saying anything.
Where should she find sales channels?
I heard that foreigners overseas particularly like embroidery from the Central Plains.
If it can be sold overseas, it will definitely fetch a high price!
