Hong Xing'er had been completely marginalized, and her face became more gloomy day by day. But she was just a little girl after all, and no one encouraged her, so she didn't dare to do anything.
When we arrived at Cailuan Pavilion, at the gate, Manager Liu was standing next to a man.
The man was in his forties and should be the shopkeeper. He bowed and nodded in a standard manner and greeted Wen Yuyi.
Manager Liu introduced: This is the new shopkeeper, his surname is Jiang.
Wen Yu ignored him and asked Manager Liu directly: "Where is Master Qing?!"
He said to the shopkeeper, "Miss Wen, Master Qing has other plans today. He can't receive you for the time being. This..." He pointed to a woman standing in the distance. "Master Wang, she is also quite capable. How about letting her receive you?"
Wen Yu didn't even look at Master Wang: "The previous selection of materials, measurements, and styles were all decided with Master Qing, and she was the one who asked me to come. But she's not here?!"
Wen Su is not as arrogant as Wen Jiao on weekdays, but she is more capable than Wen Jiao in her heart. She sneered and said, "It's probably because Cailuan Pavilion's business has grown so big that they don't like the Wen family as a client!"
Shopkeeper Liu quickly shook his head, "No, no, Miss, I am scared to death when you say that! The Wen family is a big customer."
There are so many people, and they need to make dozens of sets of clothes at once... "I heard about it when I arrived, so how dare I neglect it? It's just that Master Qing...she...is not feeling well."
"Sometimes I have something to do, sometimes I'm not feeling well! Who are you trying to fool? We don't have to work in Cailuan Pavilion! Tell your boss to prepare the money, we want to return the goods!" Wen Yu was very powerful.
Wen Wan was anxious when she heard this. It was almost done, how could she withdraw? Even without Master Qing, Master Wang would be fine! Just as she was about to open her mouth, Wen Yu's sharp eyes came over. She was actually frightened and didn't dare to speak.
Wen Yu snorted coldly and turned to leave. The shopkeeper apologized quickly: "Oh, Miss Wen! This is it... Master Qing is resting in the back. I'll let her serve the ladies right away. Just give her some time... Let her dress up and don't scare the precious girls."
Wen Yu snorted again, turned around and sat down.
Wen Su said, "Hurry up, we still have things to do!" After that, she glanced at Wen Wan and said, "Look at what you have accomplished! " "Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper went downstairs in a flash.
After a while, Master Qing came, and Wen Yu found that her face looked bad and she looked a little confused.
"Master Qing is here, Fourth Sister, you go and try first!"
Wen Wan was eager to do so and went upstairs happily.
Shopkeeper Liu wanted to move closer, but Wen Yu's face darkened and she said to Manager Liu, "It seems that you really changed the rules here!"
Manager Liu also sighed in his heart, this shopkeeper was too eager, sometimes he even didn't know how to behave. He hurried over and whispered something to the shopkeeper.
The man smiled awkwardly and went to the back.
After Wen Wan finished trying on clothes, Wen Su left. She had few clothes, so she was quick.
Finally, Wen Yu took Yan Zhu upstairs. Master Qing didn't say anything. He turned around, opened the cabinet, and took out a bundle and a purse from the middle.
Wen Yu looked at him and said, "Are you really not feeling well? Judging from your complexion..."
Master Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Master Liu, I'm afraid it's not going well."
“…”
"It was a severe stroke. He is unconscious..." Her eyes turned red. She shook her head, "He probably won't survive for a few days."
"Alas, he is old. He has lived a peaceful life. You don't have to be overly sad."
"Back then, he saved me from the sea of suffering. I worked hard and repaid him with my whole life. I'm not too sad... it's just..."
She shook her head and said no more.
"You take care of this place so well, what else can they do?" Wen Yu asked.
"After the shop was established, my wife and the first and second uncles always wanted to intervene, but they didn't know how to do it and kept meddling. Later, Master Liu took the lead and sent them all away. So, they hated it so much..."
"But... to put it bluntly, with your status, you can't have private property. Even if you don't want property, they won't tolerate you if you work hard to earn a living, right?!"
"Some time ago, the master was not feeling well and wanted to give me the indenture... but he couldn't find it... and the mistress took it first. Since she did this, I'm afraid she doesn't intend to let me go easily."
"Alas." Wen Yu was so depressed. Why did she keep encountering such things these days? Master Qing sighed, "I have lived a miserable life and lived for so many years just to have someone burn paper money for them during the Qingming Festival. Let's not talk about this... Miss Wen, Zhuzhu, look..."
She pulled out a package.
"Here are some embroidery patterns from my family. Also, these are the key points of embroidery... My family doesn't have many descendants, and since Miss Zhuzhu likes them, I'll give them to you!"
Yan Zhu was surprised and happy, and took it with both hands. "Master Qing, what should I say?"
"The embroidery pattern and the key points are available, but whether you can do it successfully depends on your understanding and luck."
Wen Yu said, "Master Qing, this is the essence of your craftsmanship. We can't take it for nothing. I have some silver now, if you need me..."
"The girl is kind-hearted, and doesn't understand the viciousness of human nature. If they won't let me go, it's useless to ask for money."
"Everything depends on human effort, so you don't have to be overly anxious. Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Master Qing looked at Wen Yu, tears in his eyes and he was moved. He suddenly knelt down in front of her.
Wen Yu hurriedly helped him up, "What are you doing?"
"Please help me, girl!"
"You stand up and speak. I will do what I can do."
Master Qing stood up and took out a paper bag from his clothes. "I have another descendant in my family... There are two banknotes and a letter in it. Please deliver it to the address in it, young lady."
Wen Yu put it away first. "Okay! This is easy, I'll go there in a minute!"
"No, this... is not the kind of place where you can go in person. Just find someone reliable to take it there. Don't let your family know. Thank you, young lady! I..."
Master Qing suddenly stopped talking and put clothes on Wen Yu. "Miss Wen, are you feeling okay?!"
Wen Yu understood that someone was coming! She still said slowly, "Yes."
"How about I give you a little more here, maybe you will grow taller."
"Miss Wen?"
Judging from the voice, it sounds like Manager Liu.
Wen Yu hummed, "Come in!"
Manager Liu came in and looked at them, his eyes flickering, "Miss Wen, have you chosen the material?"
"Choosing materials? Manager Liu, the materials have already been chosen!"
Manager Liu was a little embarrassed. "Yes, yes! Look at my memory!"
As she spoke, her eyes searched around. Yan Zhu put the bag on the table and looked around for new things...
Manager Liu didn't notice anything unusual, but asked the shopkeeper to keep an eye on her. She had no choice but to strike up a conversation with him.
Wen Yu sat there without answering, then turned to Master Qing and said, "Master Qing, what's going on here? If you keep going like this, you're going to offend all your customers!"
Manager Liu blushed and said quickly, "Oh, it's my fault! I'm a little confused today! Please take your time and I'll go wash my face to sober up!"
He went down with a smile.
Master Qing tries clothes on Wen Yu...
"Master Qing, although I don't know your past experience, you have made a living by your own ability over the years, and you have managed this place very well. That means you are a capable person, and your luck is not the worst! I believe you will be able to get through this safely. If you can bear it, don't think too much. What if, by chance, you can encounter good things?"
"Thank you, girl! I'll remember that!"
…
When she got home, Yan Zhu opened the bundle, which contained embroidery items of all sizes.
She looked at them piece by piece, "Oh my god, there is such an embroidery method..."
Those embroidery pieces may have been padded with cotton, so each flower looks three-dimensional and full. "I've never seen this before. In the past, Mrs. Song Wu's clothes... should be a variation of this embroidery method. Oh my God, it's so beautiful! Ah Yu, Zhuzhu is so lucky!"
Wen Yu looked at the mirror and saw herself becoming more and more beautiful and confident.
Turning back, it was Zhuzhu, like a delicate flower, greedily gesturing at the embroidery pieces...
"Well, we do have incredible luck!"
There are always some stinky babies who want to see the male and female protagonists...Okay, okay, let's arrange it tomorrow!
