Meng Yiqiu said coldly: "Mrs. Hong is disrespectful to Mr. Tang. We, the Meng family, cannot afford such a noble embroiderer. Send her back and tell her what I said. Sorry for her wages and let her leave the Meng family embroidery shop immediately!"
Hong Shizhu was stunned.
She was furious: "Second Young Master, you can't do this to me! I'm the best needle in Qinzhou!!"
Meng Yiqiu raised his eyebrows: "Even if you are Dayan's first needle, I won't keep you if I don't want to." He flicked his sleeves: "Take her away! Don't let her bother Mr. Tang!"
Two servants came and dragged her away.
Hong Shizhu was ashamed and angry. She broke free from their hands and said angrily, "You will regret this! If you drive me away, you will definitely regret it!"
Meng Yiqiu disagreed: "Oh!"
Hong Shizhu was furious and gasped twice. She held her chin high and walked out with a proud look on her face. When she reached the door, she slowly turned back, glanced at Tang Shiyue's face, and gritted her teeth in hatred.
I will pay you back double for today's humiliation tomorrow! Tang Shiyue, just wait for me!
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
...
...
She was dissatisfied with everything else except the decision of the Second Young Master Meng. As long as he wanted, he could always make the most correct choice at the most appropriate time.
Tang Shiyue put down the tea bowl and said seriously, "Second Young Master, you don't have to be like this. The Meng family is a big family with a great business, and my Yuefang is just a small weaving workshop. Second Young Master, you don't have to give in step by step. It's better to part ways in peace."
Meng Yiqiu smiled and said, "Ayue, you don't have to mind. What I did was naturally what I thought was worth doing."
She frowned slightly.
Meng Yiqiu then said, "I will transfer a few more embroiderers here tomorrow. You and your disciple will interact with them for two days and pick out the suitable ones to keep. I will send away any unsuitable ones."
He looked at her with gentle and sincere eyes: "Ayue, you can be angry and lose your temper, but our two families have already come to this point, and there shouldn't be any more changes in the business."
He smiled faintly: "Ayue just said that I should work hard towards my goal and solve difficulties when there are any... So my goal is to cooperate with Yuefang. If anything happens in the future, Ayue doesn't need to ask, I will solve it perfectly."
He sighed: "So, Ayue, can you trust me again this time?"
He looks like an immortal, so whether he does it on purpose or not, the effect should be similar.
Tang Shiyue dared to bet that all the women present at this moment wished they were the one who was treated like this by him.
She tapped her hands on the table subconsciously and murmured slightly.
Meng Yiqiu is a man of some ability. His ability to discharge electricity at any time is like a human killing weapon among women, and he is invincible.
The key point is that she had her eyes on the Meng family in advance, and she had already discussed this with him. If she were to force herself to go back on her word, she would probably become enemies.
Tang Shiyue nodded: "Okay."
She stood up: "You watch first, you two, go!"
Xia Yuhui and Qiao Sangyu quickly followed.
This is going to be a closed-door lecture.
This young lady's temper is really scary, and she is really protective of her food.
Meng Yiqiu put his hands behind his back and looked at the backs of the people, then turned around and glanced at the room indifferently. All the embroiderers were silent.
Meng Yiqiu asked: "Is there anyone who is unclear or does not understand the current situation?"
No one dared to answer, so he continued, "Then think carefully. If you come up with a good idea, you will be rewarded. If you can't, get out! The Meng family has never lacked embroiderers!"
The second batch of embroiderers from the Meng family soon arrived. After receiving instructions, Qiao Sangyu selected them without hesitation and finally kept ten of them.
And within a few days, these ten people actually came up with several ways of thread embroidery, many of which were eye-catching. Including the beaded and gem-inlaid embroidery that Tang Shiyue had imagined before, someone also came up with a good way and tried to make it, and it was indeed beautiful.
Such a result was so unexpected and surprising that even Meng Yiqiu was stunned.
He felt that what Tang Shiyue said, "If you want to do something, there are a hundred ways to do it, and if you don't want to do something, there are ten thousand excuses," was so true. He planned to do it this way no matter what he did in the future!
After the results were achieved, both parties sat down to talk again and prepared to sign the contract.
Tang Shiyue's intention was to only sign clothes, and call these types "embroidered clothes" to distinguish them from ordinary sweaters. Both types could be signed to them, but the profit ratios would be different.
But Meng Yiqiu wanted to take over all the products produced by Yuefang, and if Yuefang had any new products in the future, they should be handed over to them in time.
Of course Tang Shiyue couldn't agree to this.
And this dignified second young master of the Meng family was actually here arguing with them back and forth. It had been more than ten days, and he was not in a hurry. He just hung around Tang Shiyue every day.
Tang Shiyue didn't have time to pay attention to him.
Not to mention the pile of things she had on hand, Tang Shirong also had to take the imperial examination.
The county government has announced the examination date, which is February 12th. The chief examiner of the county examination will be the county magistrate.
Before taking the exam, candidates must first go to the county government's ceremonial office to register and fill out a personal statement, which mainly includes their name, native place, and the birth, living and official records of the past three generations.
They also need to find five people who take the exam together to fill out a mutual guarantee form. In addition to this, they also need to ask the county's students to come and guarantee that they are not impersonating others, hiding their death, using a substitute, or using a false name, and that they have a clean background, are not the descendants of prostitutes, actors, or clerks, and that they themselves have not committed any crimes.
This completes the registration.
Tang Shiyue finished running this lap and really broadened her horizons. She had never expected that taking an exam in ancient times was so troublesome.
Because of the Chinese saying “since you’re already here”, Tang Shiyue instigated and simply signed up Huo Qiyang as well, letting him give it a try.
Anyway, Xu Wenqu said that Huo Qiyang has solid knowledge and is no worse than Tang Junchen. Besides, he is too young, so it would be good for him to pass. However, just regard it as an experience gained.
County Magistrate Lin also invited them to have a meal and explained to them the rules of the examination room.
To be honest, with Magistrate Lin here, the county examination is just a formality and there shouldn't be any problem.
Having said that, I still can't help but be nervous.
Tang Shirong had already shown the attitude of studying very hard, and even the usually lazy Tang Junchen began to cram like crazy.
Being led by them, Tang Shiyue felt a little nervous and didn't dare to speak too loudly at home.
After practicing whipping at the martial arts gym this morning, Tang Shiyue suddenly remembered to ask Qing Weile: "Before, A Jing asked me to check my brother and I's life experience. Did you find any result?"
Qing Wei Liao couldn't help but cough.
Tang Shiyue frowned. She had forgotten about it a long time ago, but she remembered it when she went to the county government to fill out the confession form. Seeing Qing Weilai's strange expression, she asked, "Weilai?"
Qing Weiliao hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I just found out something and haven't had time to tell you yet."
They found the residence of Wang and Tang Yongli, and then searched around and found Wang's adulterer, a grain shop owner not far away, whose surname was Wei. According to him, they hooked up when Wang came, and later they met almost every day when Tang Yongli went out.
Later, Wang heard from someone that Tang Yongli wanted a child, so she asked him to help get one.
Boss Wei just agreed and didn't take it seriously. Later, when he passed Qiuye Alley, he saw a woman hurriedly throwing a basket under the bridge. He looked over and found that it was a pretty boy. He took it and gave it directly to Wang. This should be Tang Shirong.
Tang Shiyue asked: "Autumn Leaf Alley?"
