After hearing this, Xiulan, Huang Dongshi and Xiuqing all picked up the book to read.
"Is this the knitting stick?" Xiulan looked at the book for a while and asked, pointing at the bamboo sticks on the table.
Huang Wanzhen nodded and said, "Yes, I gave you seven pairs in total. If they're not enough, you can buy more."
"By the way, I'll go call Little Stone and move the yarn from the car to the backyard."
The car belongs to the Song family. When Song Wenyin wants to go home, she will definitely drive it away. If she forgets to take it, she will have to trouble the driver to bring it back.
When they came back, Xiulan and the other two had disappeared with the books. Huang Wanzhen was not in a hurry to look for them and went straight back to the studio.
"Can you really make money by knitting sweaters?" Song Wenyin looked at Su Jingyi hesitantly.
"Who knows? We'll know when we get the 'Gorgeous Clothing' and try it on." Although Huang Wanzhen was very confident, she had been in this era for a long time and had learned to be cautious when speaking.
"If I make money, I have to thank Jingyi." Seeing that Su Jingyi was just drinking tea and not talking, Song Wenyin opened her mouth again to test the waters.
Huang Wanzhen then realized that she had talked too much just now. Song Wenyin was not asking her, so she simply drank her tea in silence.
The room instantly fell silent. After a few minutes, He Lanshan broke the silence. "It's really boring here. I'm not going to stay here anymore. I'm going to go somewhere else."
After she left, Su Jingyi didn't stay long and left with a smile.
Song Wenyin immediately told Huang Wanzhen to have less contact with Su Jingyi, "I always feel she has bad intentions." Then, to support her judgment, Song Wenyin helped Huang Wanzhen recall the past, "When you first started high school, her little follower Ye Mengyu was always targeting you in some insincere way. If she was a good person, why didn't she stop her? It was only after you became good friends with us that Ye Mengyu restrained herself."
"I think she approached you with some ulterior motive."
Huang Wanzhen felt that what Song Wenyin said was not groundless. On the first day of entering school, she had a quarrel with Su Jingyi and Ye Mengyu. Later, she integrated into Song Wenyin's circle and did not interact much with the two sides, which is why she has been living in peace until now.
"That Su Jingyi has been trying to get close to me since entering high school. The Academic Affairs Office arranged a dormitory for me and she was the one I shared. Who is she?"
Song Wenyin said with disdain, "What kind of background? Someone who licks the ass of foreigners. Her father is the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. He climbed up step by step. He started out as a small consul, and later relied on his good relationships with foreigners to climb to the position of Deputy Minister. Now she is a hot candidate for the next Minister of the General Assembly."
"Where's Ye Mengyu?"
"Ye Mengyu's father, Ye Xiangsheng, is the Deputy Director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He doesn't have much talent and relies on his wife's family. Ye Mengyu's uncle is the Minister of the Interior, Meng Hezhang. He's a truly powerful figure, a Jinshi from the previous dynasty, and I heard he has a photographic memory."
Huang Wanzhen was so shocked by Song Wenyin's words that her eyes almost popped out of her head. "Who told you all this? Are there people around you who speak so rudely?"
Huang Wanzhen really misunderstood Song Wenyin, because she herself was a person who didn't care about etiquette. "Hey! I've read all this information. People like us were all taught by our families before we started out. We don't have to know who to offend, but we have to remember who not to offend."
"No way? Who taught you the lesson?" Huang Wanzhen looked at Song Wenyin suspiciously.
"My mom! In my family, my daughters are taught by my mom, and my sons are taught by my dad. I don't see my dad very often and I'm not familiar with him."
Huang Wanzhen: “…”
"What's with that expression? I'm telling the truth. My dad is away on business all year round. He's currently in Baoding Prefecture. He won't be back unless something serious happens."
"No wonder you always look for me when you have something to do." Huang Wanzhen sighed and continued, "Baoding Prefecture is not far away. If you miss your dad, you can ask your driver to take you there. You should be able to come back the same day."
Song Wenyin curled her lips, "I don't want to, I already said, I'm not familiar with him!"
"Does your father have a concubine?" Huang Wanzhen guessed.
Song Wenyin pursed her lips and glanced at her sideways. "It's not what you think. My father's concubines are all pretty good. It's my father who is too patriarchal. He only has his sons in his eyes. In his eyes, even the sons born to those concubines, no matter how capable they are, are ranked ahead of me, let alone my brother."
Huang Wanzhen patted her shoulder soothingly and said, "Then become strong on your own. We can grow into outstanding towering trees without a father."
Song Wenyin nodded stubbornly with tears in her eyes.
After returning the next day, Huang Wanzhen was taken back to the backyard by Huang Dongshi. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiuzhu sitting on a small stool knitting a sweater.
"Of course! You can learn it so quickly?" Huang Wanzhen never expected that the first one to learn it would be Xiuzhu. You know, among the people who came from the Huang family, Xiuzhu was the least literate. She was sure that Xiuzhu couldn't even recognize all the words in the knitting book.
"My girl is very good at sewing." Before Xiuzhu could say anything, Mrs. Huang became proud first.
"Okay, in that case, Xiuzhu can go and knit sweaters. I'll hire someone else to cook and wait on you."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Huang was a little unhappy, "Xiuzhu has been with me since she was a child. I am not used to being away from her."
"Then why are you still letting her learn knitting?" Huang Wanzhen suggested to her, "You've been working here for quite some time. See if there's anyone you like. We can pay her more and try to recruit her to your company."
Mrs. Huang reluctantly nodded in agreement. Xiuzhu didn't say anything, but she was very happy in her heart. Seeing Xiulan and Xiuqing, who were not as good as her in the mansion before, now managing several people and being very powerful, she felt very uncomfortable and had been looking for an opportunity to win the favor of the second lady.
When she saw a knitting book at Xiulan's place yesterday, she knew that her opportunity had come. Knitting a sweater is similar to knitting, but one uses hands and the other uses bamboo sticks. She first looked at the simplest knitting method, thought about it in her mind for a while, and then she could start knitting.
Within half a month, Xiuzhu became the team leader of the knitting group. She not only learned simple knitting methods, but also learned more complicated patterns such as cable knitting and sunflower knitting.
Huang Dongshi originally had her eyes on Zhu Xiqin, but Zhu Xiqin preferred selling goods in the shop, so she introduced a relative from her family to the shop. However, within a few days, the relative broke one of Huang Dongshi's favorite tea bowls. Heartbroken, Huang Dongshi immediately let the relative go.
In the end, no one knew whether it was Haili or Haimi who told Yuya, but with Master Chen's permission, Yuya came to Pigeon Hutong and tried it for a few days. Not only did she not make any mistakes, but she was also able to free up her hands to help Haimi take care of Zhenzhen for a while.
"I don't know what Yuya ate to grow up. She is stronger than Xiuzhu and can carry two buckets of water at a time." While doing needlework, Mrs. Huang chattered to Huang Wanzhen about Yuya's amazing abilities.
