Chapter 93 Embroidery Workshop
Chang Yinyu put his head down and fastened his belt. He picked up Gu Songyin and put it on his waist, then raised his head and asked, "Has the master gotten up?"

Just as the maid was about to bring out the washing water, she stopped when she heard Chang Yinyu's question, and said softly, "Not yet. My lord slept late last night, so my maid went to take a look."

"Sleeping late?" Chang Yinyu frowned. She hadn't left the room since Li Yanchuan had left. She didn't order or do anything. How could she sleep late? He straightened his clothes and said: " Forget it, if you have nothing to do, go down first, and I will wake the master to wake up."

The maid nodded and staggered the way to let Chang Yinyu go first.The man was full of energy for the first few steps, but suddenly he fell down in front of the maid, so frightened that he threw away the water basin to look at Chang Yinyu.

"Guard Chang, what's the matter with you?" The maid didn't dare to touch Chang Yinyu, but when she saw the man kneeling on the ground with a very ugly expression, she said, "I'll go find the doctor."

Chang Yinyu got over the dizziness, and since that day when he and Zhuo Ran were attacked in the Imperial College, this kind of situation happened from time to time. At first, he just suspected that the remaining poison was not cleared, so he listened to Zhuo Ran's words and drank the medicine well, but more and more It's getting worse.

He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, don't bother."

Chang Yinyu stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of the master, I just haven't healed from an old injury."

The maid nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhuo Ran didn't do anything last night, but she also slept late.After Li Xunchuan left, she thought about Li Xunchuan's words carefully, and thought about what to do in the embroidery workshop in the future. She really didn't have a clue about many things, so she had to put it down for the time being, and then talk to Li Xunchuan when she had time.

I kicked the quilt last night, woke up several times in the middle of the night from the cold, and now my head is still a little groggy.Zhuo Ran grabbed the bed curtain and shook her hands, then she heard Chang Yinyu shouting outside.

"Little Junior Sister, are you up yet?" Chang Yinyu was unscrupulous because of the small number of people in Zhuo Ran's courtyard, and he kept knocking on the door, causing Zhuo Ran to have a headache.

"Get up." Zhuo Ran put on a coat, Chang Yinyu came in with food, and ordered the maid to boil water, and said: "It's not too late, eat something light and go take a bath, Mr. Wen keeps the promise, we don't Just be late."

Zhuo Ran wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and said, "Let's eat together."

Chang Yinyu didn't refuse, the two divided the food, Zhuo Ran wanted to see that he was a little abnormal today, he never stopped stirring the porridge with his chopsticks, he used to compete with himself for food, Zhuo Ran raised his hand and shook in front of him, Said: "Yike, what's wrong with you?"

Chang Yinyu shook his head and said, "What's wrong with me? I'm eating."

"You don't have to accompany me to see Wen Rongxi." Zhuo Ran said: "I can't do without people at the Imperial College. When you go to Liu Jijiu, don't mention anything to him. I will go to the Imperial College to find you after I come back."

"The governor should have told you about Wu Lianyi yesterday, right?" Chang Yinyu carried a carrot to Zhuo Ran and said, "I was listening to the maids talking about it this morning."

Zhuo Ran said: "I'm not familiar with Wu Lianyi, but it really hurts the reputation of the public. He's still a petty official. What he's trying to do is only harmful and not beneficial."

"Shouldn't you ask the governor about that?" Chang Yinyu took a sip of porridge, frowned and said, "Little sister, don't let him come in the future, his horse has a very bad temper, and he touched his fur yesterday , I was almost knocked into the air, it's so annoying."

Zhuo Ran smiled, but did not speak.

Wen Rongxi lowered his head and folded up the letters in his hand carefully. Yan Chengxuan sat on the counter and said, "Sister, why did you ask Zhuo Xiaqiu to help? She is a business manager, and I'm afraid she doesn't understand the business of the embroidery workshop." Bar?"

"At that time, Zhuo Siye was the one who brought up the urgent matter of Yan's family, and it has not been resolved yet. Siye came here just to make up for her suggestions but no real solution." Wen Rongxi said: "Since the imperial concubine and empress have spoken , then let’s meet people.”

Yan Chengxuan nodded and said: "That's right. It was just a hasty moment at the banquet that day, Yan Shu, what do you think of Zhuo Xiaqiu?"

Wen Rongxi tidied up his messed-up account books, and said, "Didn't you just talk about it in a hurry, what can you tell from a face-to-face meeting?"

"Having said that, you have to think about the real purpose of her coming." Yan Chengxuan jumped off the counter, Wen Rongxi looked up at him, and he said, "Xiaqiu, you look kind on the face, you really want to do it." When something happens, she will not be soft-hearted at all."

Wen Rongxi nodded, seeing Lao Wang walking in with a new account book, he spread out the paper and said, "Is this the account book for the Luzhou Line?"

Old Wang nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Wen, the business routes along Luzhou are running very well, and the money is a little more than budgeted. For the time being, it seems that the business of the embroidery workshop will not be delayed."

"It's a little more than the budget, but it's not doubled. What's there to be happy about?" Yan Chengxuan stretched his neck to look at the accounts recorded on it, but he couldn't understand it.

Wen Rongxi smiled and said: "What is Yan Ershao thinking? This year, due to the impact of His Majesty's new policy, tax reduction and exemption in many places, the trade routes have been compressed, and it is good to have more than the budget. And this silk embroidery is too extravagant. Except for some dignitaries who need to support the scene, no one is willing to spend money on this thing."

"Yes, Second Young Master," Lao Wang sighed, and said, "Our embroidery is all carefully crafted, which takes manpower and material resources, so the initial price will naturally be higher. If we deliberately lower the market price, we will definitely lose money. "

Yan Chengxuan let out an "ah" in disbelief, and said, "Is our family so poor? No, I..."

"Second Young Master is naturally not worried." Wen Rongxi raised his hand to touch Yan Chengxuan's clothes. The materials of the crimson brocade robes are all new products from the embroidery workshop. Needless to say, the quality of the materials, he said with a smile: "Beautiful clothing and jade food, how can you understand these things?" The suffering of the people."

Lao Wang followed suit and smiled.

Yan Chengxuan stepped back abruptly, leaving Wen Rongxi's hand in the air.He paused for a moment, then met Wen Rongxi's eyes, and said softly, "I'm going to find Jingshan."

Before Old Wang could react, Yan Chengxuan had already strode out. Wen Rongxi curled his lips slightly and said, "Old Wang, I will meet with Si Ye in a while, and you can arrange the things behind. The business will come often."

"Zhuo Siye?" Lao Wang smiled, followed Wen Rongxi to sort out the pile of accounts, and said: "I saw the portraits of her and the second young master when I went to the street that day, and there were many people who bought them, so I have to say something , this business looks too good-looking."

Wen Rongxi also nodded, and said with a smile: "From now on, you will see each other every day."

"Don't dare." Old Wang wiped his face, he thought for a while and said, "Just mentioning the previous matter, it is really not easy for Zhuo Siye to come to this point."

Not a moment later, Yan Chengxuan ran back again, as if he had expected it a long time ago, Wen Rongxi naturally threw the account book in his hand on the counter, turned around and ignored him.

"Second Young Master." Old Wang put down his things and said, "Mr. Wen, I'll go to the embroidery workshop first."

Wen Rongxi nodded, buried her head in the books and did not speak.

"Yan Shu..." Yan Chengxuan called softly, and couldn't hold back his anger and said: "I just found out that Li Yanchuan invited people from the Six Great Cities to a banquet in the boat on Bi Lake last night, but he bypassed you!"

Wen Rongxi said calmly, "I know."

"What does he mean?" Yan Chengxuan lowered his voice as much as possible, and said, "Didn't he know that you were originally from the Six Great Cities? It's because Li Yanchuan is still the governor of the Imperial Army because of ignoring people like this. What's more, we have seen these people before." , what is he trying to do by poaching the wall halfway?"

"Second Young Master is too busy." Wen Rongxi said.

Yan Chengxuan walked around in front of Wen Rongxi to block the way, he moved two steps to the side, and brushed past Yan Chengxuan.

"Yan Shu!" Yan Chengxuan said: "By the way, Marquis Wu went to Li Yanchuan's painting boat to make a fuss yesterday, saying that Wu Lianyi had prostituted a top card in Huanyan Pavilion, Marquis Wu was so angry that he lost his temper and didn't come until dawn. Slow down."

"Wu Lianyi?" Wen Rongxi frowned, he didn't realize who this person was for a while, Yan Chengxuan reminded him only to remember that Yan Yingzhen had mentioned this person to him.

Wen Rongxi didn't stop what he was doing, and said: "Wu Lianyi has always been quiet, how could he do such a thing, someone must have fabricated it behind his back."

Yan Chengxuan shook his head, and said: "It's spread all over the outside world, even if Wu Lianyi didn't explain it, it's an acquiescence. Jingshan is talking about it with the people below."

Wen Rongxi bowed his head and did not speak.

"You... why aren't you surprised at all?" Yan Chengxuan said.

Wen Rongxi put the last account book away, then turned around and said: "The governor also sent me an invitation, but I just didn't go. As for what the second young master said about Wu Lianyi and the first card, I was not very surprised because I was not interested. "

Yan Chengxuan said "Oh", Wu Lianyi was from his household department after all, if it spread, it would be a shame to him, and he simply pretended to be stupid, otherwise there would be no other benefit except to get Yan Yingzhen to scold him.

"Yan Shu..." Yan Chengxuan called out.

Wen Rongxi didn't answer, and walked straight to the embroidery workshop.

The white clothes fluttered and gradually drifted away, Yan Chengxuan looked at the back figure without looking back.Why did he pull the brocade robe from Wen Rongxi's hand in such an abnormal way just now? Is it because Wen Rongxi didn't express anything when he heard Lao Wang and Wen Rongxi talk about the portrait of him and Zhuo Ran, or because he was always so cold, as if he could never touch Same as the one who arrived.

Yan Chengxuan didn't dare to think about what kind of emotion this was. He was afraid, but he was also at a loss.

What if...Wen Rongxi also feels this way?
Before he finished thinking, Jing Shan ran in, with a smile on his face, and said, "Second Young Master, Zhuo Siye is here."

Yan Chengxuan nodded and said: "It's good if you come, Zhuo Siye please come in, Yan Shu will wait for her inside."

Jing Shan led the people in.With a faint smile on his face, Zhuo Ran bowed to Yan Chengxuan and said softly, "Second Young Master is also here."

"Why did Xiaqiu come here?" Yan Chengxuan looked back and said, "Yan Shu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "Second Young Master, forgive me, I got up late this morning."

Yan Chengxuan still had other matters on his mind, he was not in the mood to play tricks with Zhuo Ran, so he could only speak concisely and said: "Yan Shu will teach you the management of the embroidery workshop, you can go find him."

Jing Shan followed Yan Chengxuan, Zhuo Ran raised his eyebrows, and walked alone to the embroidery workshop behind.

The Yan Family Embroidery Workshop really lived up to its reputation.Since Zhuo Ran stepped in, this was the only admiration in his heart. It is not unreasonable that the embroidery workshop occupies a large area. Every embroidery worker has an embroidery table, and the configuration is relatively high. All the embroidery threads used just now are of uniform thickness. Pure color.

No one spoke in the embroidery room, and the silver needle could be heard falling, Zhuo Ran walked over slowly and looked down, but the embroiderer did not move.

Really serious.Zhuo Ran smiled lightly, even the slight sound shocked Xiuniang, and the tip of the needle immediately got into her finger.

"Hiss." The embroiderer hurriedly let go of her hand, fearing that the blood would stain the brocade and disturb other people, so she quickly fell silent.

Zhuo Ran mouthed in a low voice and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Xiu Niang seemed to recognize Zhuo Ran, she shook her head lightly, put everything away and went out with Zhuo Ran.Xiu Niang bowed her head and said, "Zhuo Siye."

"I'm really sorry just now." Zhuo Ran said softly, "Is your hand okay?"

"It's nothing." Xiu Niang shook her head and said, "Why is Zhuo Siye here?"

"Luanying." Wen Rongxi called out.

Xiu Niang looked behind Zhuo Ran, Zhuo Ran also turned her head, and she saw Wen Rongxi walking over slowly.Xiu Niang leaned over slightly and said, "Mr. Wen."

"What were you talking about just now?" Wen Rong gave Zhuo Ran a hopeful look, and said, "Zhuo Siye, did Luanying offend you?"

Zhuo Ran smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Wen misunderstood, I went to the embroidery workshop to have a look, and accidentally hurt this Luanying girl, so I came out to ask."

Luan Ying hurriedly said: "Zhuo Siye, Mr. Wen, I'm fine, but my finger was pricked, so I'll go first."

Wen Rongxi nodded and said, "Be careful."

"Yes."

Wen Rongxi raised his hand to guide Zhuo Ran, and said, "Master Si Ye, please, let me tell you about the operation of the embroidery workshop."

Zhuo Ran followed Wen Rongxi and walked around the entire embroidery workshop.

***
Li Xunchuan leaned against the door, and Xiyu and Gu Zhao didn't dare to step forward to call for someone.Bihu Painting Boat held a banquet originally to see how the people in the six major cities behaved, but they accidentally picked up the great bargain of Wulianyi, but it took some effort to pick up this bargain.

Will Wu Lianyi know the group of people who assassinated Zhuo Ran?Li Xunchuan thought about it, the assassin had nothing to do with Li Chengru, and even said they were using each other, and although Wu Lianyi was benevolent to the Yan family, he was not as obedient as the rumors said, instead he kept acting out of line again and again. As for the matter, which side he is connected with can only be guessed by Li Xunchuan.

If Wu Lianyi died, these things would be clueless again. He predicted that Li Yanchuan would not dare to touch him, so he didn't bother to make any explanations and let things develop.

Li Xunchuan couldn't figure it out.There are too many things that need to be discussed in the long term. Zhuo Ran wants to start with Yan's family and Luzhou now. He has to get through this line so that he can always stay on the same line with Zhuo Ran. It's just too difficult. How can Wu Lianyi Open your mouth.

"Master—" Wu Song ran from the gate of the mansion to the backyard in one breath, shouting at the top of his voice, making Li Yuchuan even more irritable.

"Pine nuts!" Xi Yu whispered, "Shhh—"

But Wu Song shook his head and said: "Master, that Yuan Lu has come, and he said he brought His Majesty's orders!"

Li Xunchuan immediately stood up straight.
