Guo Yanlin wanted to send her aunt a greeting, but she saw that her mother Rong accompanied Zhou youzhao.
He went to greet him and asked Guo Huimin if he was OK.
Rong's mother replied with a smile that everything was fine. She also said that her master was busy with internal affairs. Knowing that he was looking for Zhou youzhao, she ordered her to send seven girls to her.
The seven girls, Zhou youzhao, changed their surname to Weisheng, but Weisheng Chengwen seems to have forgotten and did not put them in the genealogy.
Guo Yanlin had to exchange greetings again, and then politely sent her mother out of the front hall.
Stay in the room after only two people's intimate girl, small Si.
Guo Yanlin gave Zhou a cold smile and said, "I always know you have a lot of thoughts, but I didn't think about it. Now you dare to count me in. Don't you think I'm just a little beauty?"
In her eyes, Guo Yanlin is a straw bag.
"What's the matter with you, cousin? You can't ask for her by yourself. You're angry with her. Instead, you complain about me. When can I ask you to marry her?"
I can't blame Zhou for this.
Her original intention is to use Guo Yanlin's mouth to damage Lin Anxin's reputation in the aristocratic circle.
Only in this way can she break her last hope of marrying into Prince Gong's residence.
Zhou youzhao is not a good person and is very realistic. Even so, the girl is still affectionate and wants to marry Su junyang. Her appearance and family situation are better than that of Deng Jingu. However, she has a small mind. She looks at the pot and covets the bowl. Her father falls in love with Deng Jingu and designs to go to Lin Anxin. She likes to rob Lin Anxin's things and looks sad at her He was sad, angry and helpless, which made Zhou youzhao have a sense of achievement at that time, and he could defy Lin anxiously.
If Guo Huimin hadn't secretly contacted her father, how could it have happened that she and the third generation went to Beijing to recognize their ancestors?
In any case, she refused to admit that she had planned him.
"If you know her like that, why don't you make it clear that she is actually a relative of Lu Shilang in the Ministry of officials?"
Zhou youzhao looks at him suspiciously. Is it because Lin Anxin has swept him out of the house, and the posture is ugly?
She couldn't help gloating and replied, "cousin, how long has she been in Beijing and how many years have I left my hometown? How do I know she has such a high relative? "
"You don't know?"
Zhou youzhao shook his head and replied: "I really don't know. I told you that she is not a good friend. You don't believe it. You have suffered this time."
Guo Yanlin took a deep look at her and didn't tell her that he was persuaded to leave by his mother, Haoyan, who was in charge of old lady Zhou. Lin Anxin didn't send him away.
The two finally parted unhappily. Guo Yanlin was so angry that he turned blue and left.
...
for several days, Guo Yanlin never appeared at the door of the Lin family, which made Lin an feel relieved.
Because Su junyang was recently detained in the palace by Princess Gong, she said that she had been ordered by the Empress Dowager to stare at Su junyang, so that he could learn more from her husband.
Since the Mid Autumn Festival, Lin Anxin has not seen him for more than a month.
Fortunately, she herself is also busy. With the reputation of jinxiufang, her business has improved a lot.
Compared with last month, there are three or four more orders. In addition to these custom-made autumn shirts, there are also several large screens.
Small embroider Niang in the end study time is little, the foundation is shallow, can't do such a big thing.
Lin Anxin didn't want to guess more about Su junyang's recent situation, so he went into the embroidery workshop and took his four girls to stay in the embroidery workshop all day, busy embroidering the big screen.
Lin Qingsong wants to go to school. Lin Anxin is busy with business. Liu Sanniang has nothing to do. After thinking about it, she takes her little girls to jinxiufang to help.
Those big screens, in addition to a pine and crane Yannian ordered by the third lady of Lu, were given to her old father, a rich peony, and a mandarin duck playing in the water. They were all made to get married.
Such a large screen not only to use red sandalwood, or mahogany, yellow pear wood and so on, used to do outside the screen frame.
It also needs to be inlaid with pearls, agates, jasper and various kinds of gems. A screen can be as few as dozens of taels, or as many as hundreds of taels.
Although the third lady of Lu has never seen her craftsmanship, her daughter's letter recommends it. She has no doubt about it. You know, the daughter of a wealthy family attaches great importance to needlework. If she can win Lu Yulian's praise, you can imagine how good Lin Anxin's craftsmanship is.
Of course, in this case, she couldn't say it outside. She just pulled a few sisters of her mother's family to get together. She said such a thing and praised Jinxiu square.
These are the big orders.
The girls Liu Sanniang brought with her can't help them, but they can help them to do some piecemeal things, or pick up silk thread, or divide silk thread, and so on.
It was so easy for her to take the girls to finish those screens. On this day, she went to the embroidery workshop. She heard sister Lu say that the shelves for those screens had been sent. She took the little embroidery girls to set the screens.Lin an got the news and took the girls to look inside. Sure enough, she was relieved.
After working day and night for a month, these three screens were embroidered.
Three screens earned 150 Liang, which is not much. However, Lin Anxin earned it with her hands.
"Girl, girl, the princess Minghui is here."
Lin Anxin is standing in front of a peony screen to do the final inspection. She is surprised to hear Ailian's report.
He turned to Tingquan and asked, "I've never heard it wrong. Is it Princess Minghui?"
"It's me, of course. Good aunt. I'm at ease. I haven't seen you for a long time."
Su Yulin appeared at the door with a happy face.
Liu Sanniang liked her very much. She welcomed her with a smile and asked, "where are you hiding these days for leisure? My daughter talks about it all the time. Without you, she always feels lonely. But it's not convenient for us to visit that house."
Su Yulin blinked her big eyes, picked up her skirt, ran to the three screens and looked at it carefully. She said, "ah, peace of mind, your little embroiderer's needlework should be the best. These flowers and mandarin ducks look fresh and beautiful from a distance. Ah, I want one too. I'll ask your embroiderer to order one for me. I want a full screen of red plum blossoms, the best one is the one That kind of breeze caresses, the kind of red plum, just think about it is very beautiful
Lin Anxin is sure that this guy has definitely seen such beautiful scenery.
"Years ago, let them embroider it for you. Is that feasible?"
"Let's make a deal. I'll send a box of small pearls to the pillow book. It's for my mother to grind pearl powder for me. I haven't used it yet. By that time, let your embroiderers take pearls to decorate the red plum. It must be very good. As for the screen shelf, I can't bear to see these precious stones."
She said, looking back at Lin Anxin, she said with a smile, "I'm going to carve a shelf with elegant patterns. Ah, I don't care. You must help me think of a good-looking pattern. Then, I'll give you a big reward."
Lin Anxin nodded and said with a smile: "brother, I'll settle the accounts clearly. Don't worry. You are such a rich man. I will never count less."
Liu Sanniang was busy watching. She secretly signaled Qiuxiang and Qiushuang to go and order a table for dinner.
"Princess, you haven't been here for some days. You look better when you grow up."
Su Yulin is a very clear girl, smell speech gave her a big smile.
"Auntie, I miss you so much. But since I entered the palace on the Mid Autumn Festival, the Empress Dowager insisted that I stay with her in the palace. This company is more than one month."
So Lin Anxin said with a smile, "it's hard for you to stay."
"I can't stay and I can't help it. My mother said that if I sneak home in advance, I'll be fined half a year's monthly silver. It's only tens of taels a month, so it's not enough."
Princess Minghui took Shuangyue as an example, one was sent by the government, and the other was given by Prince Gong's house.
The law of the great Zhou Dynasty was quite patriarchal, and the salary of a princess was far less than that of a princess. The salary of a princess was about 800 stones a year, while a princess, such as Su junyang, was a rice bug, and he also had 2000 stones a year. In addition, there were rewards from the elders.
Su Yulin said that she had only a few dozen Liang a month. She was right. The salary was paid in silver every month. It depends on the price of rice in that year. When the price of rice is high, the monthly salary is high, and when the price of rice is low, the salary is also reduced.
Every month, the government gave her about 30 to 40 liang of silver, while Su junyang could get between 100 Liang and 123 Liang every month.
Therefore, she said that she only spent tens of taels of silver a month. She really didn't lie.
"Don't worry, what's the price of your screen? I can help you sell it later. "
Su Yulin really wants to help her.
Lin an thought to himself and said with a smile, "well, the total amount of money and materials is about one hundred Liang. If the shelf is made by the owner himself, it's just sent to me for inlaying."
She answered like this, but she thought that the four or five little embroiderers who had opened a small stove alone could learn to embroider screens for others.
"However, I don't have many embroiderers on hand. I can't do too many screens, so I can embroider a few more small pit screens. It's just a few months away, and it's going to be new year's day. It's good to give gifts."
After her reminding, Su Yulin understood and said with a smile, "it's all up to me. I always have a few handkerchiefs to recommend to them. They also have other little sisters to marry or spend their birthdays. It's very good to send such a thing."
Girls in the boudoir give things, more of a figure of elegance.
Although Xiaokeng screen can't make much money, it can't stand to finish one very quickly. In this way, a little embroiderer can embroider one in seven or eight days.
If five people embroider together, they can earn no less than the big screen, and she can relax a lot herself.
Lin Anxin was naturally very happy."Is it still fun in the palace?"
"It's no fun at all. The Empress Dowager's old people are very rare to your husband recently. When she is free, she calls him to the palace. It's said that he is a scholar, but the emperor's uncle praises him more and more." Su Yulin waved her hand.
