Chapter 144

Huang Yihuan became Shen Ru's crush. On her mother's side, Mrs. Huang also admired Shen Ru's mother.

When they were saying goodbye, Shen Ru looked out of the carriage window and saw that the Huang family's mother and daughter really looked like idiots!
"Mom, what did you say to Mrs. Huang? Looking at Mrs. Huang, she wants to go home with us."

Mother Shen chuckled. "It's nothing, just some charioteer skills. But the Miss Huang family admires you very much. Didn't you go horse racing?"

Shen Ru told the story about how she and Huang Yihuan met Xiao Wujin, and Shen's mother was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

"Aru, tell me the truth, Master Xiao, are you too close to each other?"

Shen Ru didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her mother's words always seemed to have other meanings.

"Mom, this is Liangzhou, where Mr. Xiao lives. Isn't it unusual to see him?"

"By the way, mother, what do you think we can open a ranch later?"

"Pasture?" Shen's mother wondered if Shen Ru's idea was too whimsical.

"Aru, your father and I are not good at horseback riding, and we don't know anything about ranching!"

"As long as we can find useful people, but for now, let's see if Xiao Wujin can cut the river open!"

"Without water source, Liangzhou City will be very difficult in the second half of the year!"

"I also heard from Mrs. Huang about this. The prisoners will all be transferred to dig the river."

Mother Shen's expression calmed down and she said with some worry: "Aru, what do you think your third uncle and the others will do if they know that Shen Ming is dead!"

"What can I do? If the big one is useless, then I can get another one."

Shen Ru said: "Shen Ming got into a fight with local gangsters, and even if he died, they would have nowhere to talk to. If the third uncle and the third aunt don't want to be left alone when they get old, it's too late to have another one now."

Mother Shen looked at Shen Ru speechlessly, could this child be born just by talking about it?
The two chatted all the way back home, but they saw many people going out with working tools such as shovels.

"It's strange for Mr. Xiao to have such strange thoughts."

Mother Shen sighed noncommittally, and the two of them entered the house together.

The affairs of the government have little to do with ordinary people. Shen Ping and Qian's embroidery workshop is about to open.

Because Shen's mother also contributed money and mentioned the embroidery workshop to the Huang family, a lot of people came on the opening day.

In the previous life, Shen Ping and I had been embroidering things for the past few days. Several embroidered handkerchiefs were framed in the embroidery frames, which surprised the ladies who came to support them.

"This exquisite butterfly playing with flowers is just like the real thing. This flower... is probably a peony. I have only seen it in paintings."

"And this rabbit, is it making medicine? It's so lifelike!"

"These styles are much more novel than those sold before. As expected of someone from the capital, they have seen more than us!"

Shen Ping and Qian didn't expect to have business as soon as they opened their doors. Everything on the shelves were all styles, and if customers wanted them, it would take time to embroider them.

"Mrs. Shen, these two are also from the Shen family, right? Your Shen family is really a place of outstanding people, and all of them are talented people."

Mrs. Huang looked at the embroidery and couldn't put it down.

"I don't know if these two will accept apprentices. We are so happy now that we can't even embroider a flower. How can we make sachets for our husband in the future?"

Huang Yihuan was talking to Shen Ru when he heard his mother's words and felt a little embarrassed on his face.

"I don't like the embroidery needle. It's a finger-tackling job. It's better to ride a horse and drink!"

"What a coincidence, I don't know how to do it either, but my cousin is good at women's music, and is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Yi Huan, come here."

Huang Yihuan was about to say something when he heard his mother calling.

"Shopkeeper Qian, if you can teach my daughter to embroider her own bellyband, I will give you 50 taels of silver as a reward."

"Mom!" Huang Yihuan refused. She really didn't want to embroider.

Qian was surprised, 50 taels!
"Mrs. Huang, it's not that I don't want to take this job. It also depends on whether Miss Huang is willing to learn it." "You must learn it, Yi Huan. Mother doesn't require you to be good at embroidery, but the embroidery inside you will always be good at it." It’s up to you to do it yourself!”

Mrs. Huang said forcefully, "Do you want to be rejected by your husband's family in the future?"

"That's right, Shopkeeper Qian. My daughter only knows a little bit. If you can help her learn to embroider this cat-playing-butterfly, I'll give you the money too."

Qian wanted to decline politely, but Shen Ping on the side agreed.

"It's just that my mother and I need to be in the shop and can't leave. If any girl wants to learn embroidery, she can come to our shop to learn."

You can make money and liven up the shop, so why wouldn't you want it?
"Do you think Shen Ping is still good at soliciting business?"

Mother Shen and Shen Ru said to the side.

"Well, she will try her best."

Shen Ru nodded and said, how could someone who could report his biological father not be determined to live a good life?

The supportive ladies and daughters left one after another. Some ordered embroidery and some bought sachets, which kept the shop open in vain.

Near noon, a fair-skinned, beautiful young woman with a slightly exotic flavor walked in.

Shen Ru was still in the shop with her mother. As soon as the young woman entered the room, she recognized her. She was the second young lady of the Yan family next door and the sister of Yan Shaoqing.

When Huang Yihuan and I were peeking next door, we happened to see the second young lady and her son-in-law.

"Are you embroiderers from the capital?"

Yan Zhenshan said gently and softly: "Do you have any novel ones? I want a different kind of round fan."

Neither Shen Ping nor Qian had ever seen Yan Zhenshan before, but they thought the young woman in front of them was extremely beautiful.

"I don't know what style the lady wants. There are flowers, plants, and small animals. We have laid out some common styles. If the girl wants something different, just give me a rough idea and we will embroider it for you."

Shen Ping said generously.

"Oh, then...are there any snakes?"

Yan Zhenshan's eyes moved and landed on Shen Ping's face.

"Can you embroider that little snake with a green body and red tail?"

Shen Ping was a little surprised, but quickly regained her composure.

"What the madam wants is not available at the moment, but I can draw it according to the style she wants, and then embroider it according to the style she selected."

"Oh, let's paint it and send it to Yan's house tomorrow. If there's anything I want, I'll give you a satisfactory price."

"The Yan family?" Shen Ping was surprised. Isn't that the next door?
"My young lady is the second young lady of the Yan family."

The maid beside Yan Zhenshan said proudly.

Yan Zhenshan walked away without saying anything else.

"The second young lady of the Yan family is wearing a woman's bun again. Has she left the government?"

Qian said in surprise, "Ping'er, if you leave such unclear words, will you accept this job?"

"She is Yan Shaoqing's second sister, Yan Zhenshan, and she is married."

Shen Ru opened the curtain behind and walked out with Shen's mother.

"Since I agreed, let's draw some more. Just send them to Yan's house tomorrow for her to see."

Shen Ping was calm and at ease in front of guests, but now, she was in trouble.

"But...I've never seen a green snake! How should I draw it?"
