When Yang Xiucai heard what Ah Xiu said, he felt a little shaken.
Liu also advised: "I also think what Ah Xiu said is right." After all, my cousin has taken the imperial examination for so many years and has never passed it. He can't rely on the imperial examination for his whole life. It would be nice if there are other ways out.
"Girl, we don't have much money now. If we don't have any income, we won't even have meat to eat in a few days." Mother Chen said to Liu worriedly.
"Otherwise, go find the Marquis--" Jin Cai said from the side.
In her opinion, Liu would be living in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, so how could the Marquis' Mansion lack money? Liu frowned after hearing this. It was okay before, but now she was unwilling to ask for money.
Ah Xiu had a poor family background. Her parents sold her because her family was poor. Now she was worried that her family would fall into poverty again, so she also suggested, "I can do embroidery. Why don't I find a embroidery shop to do it, and I can also supplement the family income."
Shen Qingqiu said: "Yes, Ah Xiu is good at embroidery, and Mother Chen and you two are also good at embroidery, so why not open an embroidery shop, so that you can have something to do and earn some money."
"How can this be possible? I usually just embroider for fun. How can anyone buy my embroidery works if I open an embroidery shop?" Liu shook her head. "Besides, what kind of woman would open an embroidery shop in public?"
Shen Qingqiu said: "The embroidery shop sells women's things. What's wrong with a woman opening one? What's wrong with her making a living on her own?" This idea is really strange. Women are not allowed to show their faces in public, and even rouge and powder are sold by men.
But Liu still shook her head, and Shen Qingqiu was helpless.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen had some thoughts. "I think what the young lady said makes sense. If you don't open an embroidery shop, you can just embroider some things and sell them." You can't just wait for Gu Yong to come and propose marriage, and then live off the family income. When Liu heard that she didn't want to open an embroidery shop, she would just embroider things at home. If she couldn't sell them, she would lose some embroidery thread, which was not worth much anyway, so she agreed.
The room was almost tidied up. Seeing the women discussing embroidery, Yang Xiucai returned to his room and began to review his lessons.
"Then what should we embroider?" asked Liu.
"We don't know what girls in Beijing like." Mother Chen frowned, feeling troubled. Ah Xiu said, "Whether it's Beijing or somewhere else, the girls must carry handkerchiefs when they go out."
Mother Chen nodded, "That's right, even if my little devil doesn't bring anything with him, he still has to bring a towel with him when he goes out to wipe his mouth after eating." Shen Qingqiu listened to them pulling him in, and just took a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating his fill, he lay down on the bed and prepared to take a nap.
Who made her a child? Shouldn't she let others worry about making money? But despite saying so, Shen Qingqiu still made a contribution. The handkerchiefs embroidered by Liu and her friends were mostly flowers and plants. Although they were beautiful, they were just like that after seeing them for a long time. When she had nothing to do, Shen Qingqiu used paper to outline a beautiful little fox, and eagerly gave it to Liu, asking her to embroider it.
"Go away, mom is working." She just regarded Shen Qingqiu as a troublemaker and pushed him out. Mother Chen was the same, not even looking at her things.
"Wow, this embroidery is really nice." Ah Xiu actually liked this vivid little fox and immediately compared it to her own embroidery, preparing to copy it.
She didn't make many embroidery pieces just to test the waters. In two or three days, Ah Xiu wasted too much time embroidering the little fox, so she only embroidered two handkerchiefs. Liu and Chen Mama each embroidered three handkerchiefs with flowers and plants, and that morning they were packed in a basket and handed to Jin Cai, who sold them.
