Bai Guo snickered and said, "I'm ashamed to mention His Highness the Sixth Highness, people are scared away by you..."
Bai Fuling was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "If you can, don't come to the cold spring, or wait for me to close the door and release the little raccoon!"
When Bai Guo heard the name of the vicious cat, her face turned green, she apologized repeatedly, and deeply reviewed her bad habit of talking nonsense. Everyone in the Baijiazhuang knows how fierce the little raccoon is. Even Bai Fuling's group of vicious dogs dare not provoke him easily.
In the afternoon, Bai Shao came to report that the manager of the embroidery village had something urgent to see, and Bai Fuling, who was walking cats and dogs by the cold spring, dismissed the pets around her, and saw Ding Xiang leading a simple and elegant dress in her early thirties, dignified and demure. The woman came over.
The woman's late husband was surnamed Tong, and everyone called her Mrs. Tong. She came from the Zhuo family, a well-known silk embroidery family in Dingzhou, and the husband she married was also the young master of the famous Tongji silk and satin village in Dingzhou. An expert in weaving. However, the clothes on her body are surprisingly plain, a beige silk jacket and a light gray fine Gebu skirt, there is no trace of needlework embroidery on it, so refreshing, people can't imagine that she is actually the chief embroiderer. Zhuang's big steward.
Today, her face was swept away from the previous peaceful expression, and she was obviously a little more excited. She stepped forward to salute Bai Fuling and said repeatedly: "Miss, I am very happy! I am very happy!"
Bai Fuling loves to hear good news, and said with a smile: "If there's any good news, please sit down first and then tell me. Could it be that you have created some new stitch pattern? Or is there a new progress in the printing and dyeing method? "
Mrs. Tong refused to sit down, her face blushed slightly, and then she said excitedly: "Little lady, I am ashamed, what the lady said has not made any progress, but the little lady found out that the little lady of the Huang family is actually from the Qiu family. Direct disciple!"
The little lady of the Huang family she was talking about was the young woman that Bai Fuling bought from Li Xiucai in Beiguan City a few days ago.
However, Bai Fuling has never heard of this Qiu's magic needle. Since Mrs. Tong, the head of the embroidery village, calls it a magic needle, she must be a peerless master in the embroidery industry, so she immediately reacted and asked: "What is the name of Qiu's magic needle?" I’ve never heard of it, what’s so special about the craftsmanship that their family is good at?” Bai Fuling never pretends to understand the professional knowledge she doesn’t understand, let alone express opinions indiscriminately in order to maintain a noble image in front of her subordinates .
Aunt Tong was so excited that her eyes lit up and she said: "Qiu's magic needle has disappeared for more than 20 years. It's not surprising that Miss didn't know about it. When the little lady just knew how to hold a needle, Qiu's thread embroidery was very famous. At that time, the little lady had the honor to see the golden phoenix and a hundred birds singing in spring embroidered by Pei's heirs. She used six kinds of threads: woolen thread, three-strand thread, peacock feather thread, twisted thread, flower clip thread, and stem-wrapped thread to match twelve It is embroidered by this kind of needle method, it is really exquisite workmanship... "
Anyone who really loves their profession, when it comes to matters related to their profession, can’t help rambling and can’t help themselves. However, the women in front of them either don’t understand at all, or only understand superficially. I don't understand.
Taking advantage of her breath, Bai Fuling laughed dryly and said, "Well, Mrs. Huang used to sell embroidery products to the embroidery factory, and she often took jobs in the embroidery factory. Why did you just find out that she is Qiu's magic needle?" heirs?"
Mrs. Tong sighed and said, "The young lady of the Huang family didn't know that what she was learning was the technique of Qiu's magic needle. Although her mother taught her this technique, she repeatedly said that it was a family tradition and couldn't bear to lose it, so she let her learn it. Now, it is strictly forbidden for her to show her needlework to others, let alone sell it for money in the embroidery workshop. The little lady Huang is also an honest person, and she has always only shown people with ordinary needlework. The little lady has seen her embroidery before. It’s a product, but it’s meticulously crafted and has a lot of aura, other than that, there’s not much special about it, so I almost missed a talent!”
The gossiping Ding Xiang couldn't help asking: "Then how did you find out, Mrs. Tong, that she is the descendant of Qiu's Acupuncture? Her mother is too strange. Why did you let her learn acupuncture and not allow her to use it to make a living? "
Bai Fuling glared at her and said, "You're the one who talks a lot of nonsense, hurry up and get a cup of tea, your mouth is dry!"
Ding Xiang stuck out her tongue secretly, turned around and rushed to make a pot of tea, poured two cups, one cup was respectfully brought to Bai Fuling, and one cup was handed to Aunt Tong with both hands.
Mrs. Tong thanked her, took a sip of tea, and continued: "It's a coincidence, today, the little guy in Miss Huang's belly is disobedient and tossed her hard. The little lady asked her to go back to her room to rest. After thinking about it, I felt uneasy, so I went to see her again, and I happened to see her embroidering small clothes for the child, and she didn't have time to hide when I saw me..." Aunt Tong became more and more complacent as she spoke, her expression and tone were very different from normal, she might be too happy up.
Bai Fuling let her have a good time, and then asked: "It seems that Mrs. Tong has convinced her, she must have agreed to pass on the acupuncture techniques to other people in the embroidery village?"
Mrs. Tong proudly said: "Of course, tell Miss Huang what she said to the little lady. Is there any reason for her not to follow?"
"Sister-in-law Tong, what you say is... as if I'm coercing and luring you to do bad things, by the way! Do you know of any masters in embroidery, printing and dyeing, weaving, or missing masters or lost skills? Let people look for it, we can't just wait for luck to come to our door every time!" Bai Fuling thought farther than Sister Tong.
In terms of embroidery, weaving, and cloth dyeing, she has accumulated a lot of talents over the years, and now the land-based business to neighboring countries has reached a large scale. She will start to do large-scale business when Bai Shanglu opens up the sea market. In the "export" business, Qi State has not implemented a sea ban. As long as the officials in the coastal state capital are well managed, no matter how chaotic Qi State is, the Bai family can still make a lot of money.
According to the information obtained by Bai Fuling, the foreign businessmen in this era are not much different from the foreign businessmen in history in memory. They all like silk, porcelain, tea and other products, so from the beginning, she paid special attention to collecting and cultivating them. Embroidery is a high-end profit-making product that she will focus on developing in the future. Aunt Tong's embroidery shop has already recruited countless masters, and has also cultivated a large number of rookies.
After dismissing the joyous Mrs. Tong, Bai Fuling triumphantly said to the maidservants around her, "You tell me, how can I be so lucky? Saving someone casually is not just a king, but also a talent."
For her self-praise, the maids have habitually chosen to automatically filter it. Yang Mei brought Ma Lian over. She has been teaching Ma Lian and Ding Xiang how to manage accounts half a year ago. Yang Mei was originally responsible for the internal accounts of Baijiazhuang. After she married Bai Shanglu, it was inconvenient for her to continue to manage the internal account of Baijiazhuang, so she slowly transferred the matter to the two maids, Ma Lian and Ding Xiang.
This is also one of the reasons why the maidservants in Baijiazhuang "sell well". Not only are they beautiful and gentle, but they are also capable of being literate, financial, and housekeepers. They are the first choice for businessmen. After making some connections, you may be able to use the Bai family's connections to start a business. The benefits are countless, so although the Bai family has a lot of requests, there are still many people who want to marry the maids of the Bai family.
"Just now someone who claimed to be the servant of the General's Mansion sent an invitation card, saying that he wanted to invite the young lady to have a gathering at Beiyue Building at noon tomorrow." Yang Mei pulled out a bright red and golden post from her sleeve and handed it to Bai Fuling.
Bai Fuling took it casually, and said with a long face, "You're here to protest against me?!"
Ding Xiang scratched her head and said, "Didn't the general invite you to play? Why is it a demonstration?"
Bai Fuling said unhappily: "Brother wants to invite me to his house, just send a message from his servant, why would it be so boring to send an invitation? You don't need to ask, you know that Mrs. Lu did a good job."
"Maybe she wants to ask for peace? If she knows that General Lu loves you so much, how can she dare to offend you?" Yang Mei persuaded, feeling a little sympathetic to Mrs. Lu, who unfortunately became the sister-in-law of her young lady. Waiting for her.
"I don't want to talk to her, Yang Mei, you went back to the servant and said that I'm busy and I don't have time!" Bai Fuling is now seizing the opportunity to throw a temper tantrum.
"Miss, General Lu's marriage was ordered by his parents, and the emperor bestowed the marriage on him. No matter how unhappy Miss is, this has become a fact and cannot be changed. Miss and sister-in-law are at loggerheads, and the general has no room for turning around with her. Miss Bear with the heart that General Lu's husband and wife will not get along all his life, having a family means having no family?" Yang Mei has been with her for a long time, and her husband is Bai Shanglu, the chief steward she regards as her elder brother, so she is more daring to speak than others Some.
She also knows something about Lu Ying and Bai Fuling, but now that Lu Ying is married and unable to divorce her, there is no possibility for the young lady to be with him. Lu Ying is destined to be tied to the Cui family for the rest of her life. Bing, why don't you try to see if you can help them reconcile their relationship and make Lu Ying feel better. This is not for Cui's sake, it is purely because she doesn't want Lu Ying to be sad because of her discord with his wife.
Since Miss is General Lu's adoptive sister, she should think of her adoptive brother instead of willfully making the relationship between her adoptive brother and his first wife even more rigid.
Yang Mei didn't know if the young lady really had feelings for men and women towards Lu Ying, but Lu Ying's pampering attitude towards the young lady definitely surpassed the ordinary brother-sister relationship. She had no doubt that if there was a conflict between the young lady and the Cui family, Lu Ying would stand on the young lady's side and completely dislike Cui. Shi.
Bai Fuling knew that what she said was right. After all, this place was different from the time she used to live in. If a husband and wife were not in harmony, they could easily divorce and find another spouse. Be smart, don't just think about taking advantage of the calculating brother, hum!"
