Chapter 37 Embroidery Village
The emperor proudly ordered: "Li Changhai, set the meal, I'm hungry, by the way, if Lao Liu sends someone over tonight, you can bring him in directly."

Li Changhai immediately accepted the order with a smile on his face, "Old slave complies with the order. I will explain to you later, and let Xiao Lizi personally guard outside. When people come, I will directly bring them in. I promise not to let others see them. I will go right away." Deliver meals to the emperor."

Oh hello, it's really rare, the emperor passed the meal in advance today, obviously the appetite was aroused by the lotus meat slices!
Also, the sixth prince finally got the hang of it, and knew that he was going to join the emperor, which is really not easy!

It seems that marrying a good woman is not the same. The sixth concubine is really a filial child, compared to that Bai...tui, what to compare with her, you should slap her!

The Sixth Prince's Concubine is right. The Emperor is really wise and great. He has a discerning eye. He chose Gu from so many people to give to the Sixth Prince. Presumably, the Sixth Prince will be very happy in the future!

Half of the emperor's dishes were missing, and that was a large table. Li Changhai found that the emperor seemed to eat less today.

Seeing him put down his chopsticks, Li Changhai stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, but these dishes are not to your liking, or do you have no appetite? Do you want this old servant to invite the imperial doctor?"

The emperor glared at him: "No need."

Li Changhai was instantly enlightened by the emperor's stare: The emperor is waiting to eat the dishes sent by the sixth prince!
……

Ye Hanyu took Gu Wanning out of Ke Siyun and went straight to the Xiuzhuang. Before, Ye Hanyu had never been in a place like Xiuzhuang, which was obviously full of women, and it was a bit new when he first entered.

A female waiter came out to entertain the two of them. Gu Wanning took out a small black sign and waved it in front of the waiter, "Let you Mrs. Song come out to meet me. When the waiter saw the little sign, his eyes lit up immediately: "I have seen my boss, Please come to the owner's house, Mrs. Song's is at the back, you just go in directly. "

Gu Wanning said "Alright", and took Ye Hanyu to the backyard.

There are all kinds of embroidery in the shop, and the backyard is where the embroiderers work. Originally, when the emperor rewarded her with this embroidery house, there were only eight embroiderers in the shop, and the rest was for collecting. Some embroidered products consigned by others have limited income, at most one hundred taels of silver a month, and the eight embroiderers are still exhausted.

After Gu Wanning took over, she recruited eight more embroiderers, and gave them some new embroidery samples. Those embroidery samples were all styles that had never been seen before, and ordered someone to order special embroidery threads, embroider them into large pieces, and embroider them out. The works are bright and eye-catching, and the style is novel. The deposit alone has taken no less than 2000 taels in the past two months. In addition, the sales of those small embroidery products are not bad. The business has doubled even if the business is good.

Mrs. Song came out immediately when she heard the news. When she saw Gu Wanning, she was overjoyed: "Boss, it's great that you can come. The Guanyin statue you told me last time has been completed, and I'm about to send it to you. Xin'er, let you see if the finished product is what you want."

[The man next to the owner is the sixth prince, oh my god, I am so lucky to be able to meet the royals and nobles!And the sixth prince is really handsome, standing with his master is a match made in heaven! 】

Ye Hanyu couldn't help but leaned in Gu Wanning's direction again, the corners of her mouth were slightly bent, this female shopkeeper is quite discerning, not bad!
Gu Wanning didn't pay attention to the man's small movements, she told Mrs. Song: "Then take me to have a look. Forget it, just bring the embroidery." The embroidery room is full of women, it is inappropriate to bring Ye Hanyu in, he is alone It's not appropriate for people to throw it here, so just bring the embroidery over.

Lady Song hurried to the embroidery room and came out quickly with a red box. The Guanyin statue was not a big piece, but this embroidery had been embroidered for nearly two months, which showed that a lot of thought was put into it.

Gu Wanning took the box and took a look at the Guanyin statue.

The Avalokitesvara on the embroidery has drooping eyes and a solemn Buddha image, holding a clean bottle and sitting on a lotus platform, which is exactly the same as the picture she gave!
The most important thing is the color matching of the embroidery thread, which fully met her expectations. She couldn't help but be obedient and said, "I will award 20 taels of silver to the embroiderer who completed this Guanyin statue. In the future, I will not embroider such a Guanyin statue without my order." , remember to take back the embroidered pictures, and tell the embroidered ladies, whoever dares to embroider in private and sell them for money will directly send them to the Yamen for questioning."

Mrs. Song hurriedly replied: "My master, don't worry, they will have food and lodging in the back, and they signed a death contract, and the wages paid by my master are high, no one dares to be disobedient."

Hearing this, Gu Wanyan chuckled: "People's desires are endless. When a person is hungry, what he wishes most is to have something to fill his stomach, but is he satisfied after eating? No, he should want to eat Meat!
Now the embroiderers feel that the wages I give are high. One woman can embroider for one month and the whole family can live for one year. But when they know that this small embroidery is worth a thousand taels, they will Won't you think of something else? "

Mrs. Song stopped talking, and the salaries of the embroiderers in the backyard were divided into three levels, namely 30 taels, 20 taels and ten taels.

For example, the embroiderer who embroidered this Avalokitesvara statue earned 20 taels of silver in 51 days with the 71 taels of reward, but compared with the high price that this Avalokitesvara statue will sell for, that is really very little!

It's hard to guarantee that Xiu Niang won't have other thoughts, she immediately frowned worriedly.

Gu Wanning comforted: "Don't worry too much, you can just collect the leftover embroidery thread and burn it later, without the embroidery thread, even if she is born with skillful hands, she will not be able to embroider the same embroidery. "Actually, there are a lot of embroidery threads, and the remaining ones are definitely not enough to embroider another embroidery like this. However, she is used to everything under control, and she doesn't like to fix things when something goes wrong.

All the embroiderers signed death contracts, even if someone was willing to redeem them, it would be useless without embroidery thread!

When Ye Hanyu heard that an ordinary Avalokitesvara statue could sell for a thousand taels of silver, she was so curious that she took the Avalokitesvara statue and began to observe it carefully.

Avalokitesvara is indeed more face-to-face than the pictures he saw before, and the embroiderer's workmanship is also extremely exquisite. This Avalokitesvara looks like a real person, with delicate skin and distinct hair, but it can't be sold because of these Thousand taels of silver, right?
He couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly.

Gu Wanning laughed immediately: "Miss Song, go get the candles, and then close the curtain."

Lady Song followed her words, closed the curtains, found a candle and lit it.

Gu Wanning then unfolded the painting, held it in her own hands, and stood facing Ye Hanyu. At first, neither Song Niang nor Ye Hanyu knew what she was doing, but when the candle was lit and the light shone on the Avalokitesvara, a miracle happened.
