Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 36 Exam
  It was agreed that Zhao Wangshu was about to leave. Zhao Jiahua and Zhao Shuqing called at the same time: "Sister Shu."

Zhao Wangshu looked at them and felt a headache. It was easy to get rid of those sisters, but not easy to get rid of them. Who made them good friends.

But she couldn't take them to Qinghe Clothing Shop. She didn't want the people in the mansion to know about her opening a shop outside so quickly, and they both had maids given by the mansion with them.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Wangshu couldn't refuse directly, so he could only pretend to be confused and get through.

"Sister Shu, where are you going? Let's go together." This is Zhao Jiahua.

What Zhao Shuqing said was: "Sister Shu, can I come with you?"

"I'm accompanying Hong Chang to visit her relatives." Zhao Wangshu was anxious and came up with an excuse that they would never go together.

As she expected, the two of them stopped talking about joining her.

Qinghe Clothing Shop, which was being renovated, was still closed. Zhao Wangshu met shopkeeper Huang, the clerk and the female dressmaker in the weaving and dyeing shop.

"Just treat them as guests entering the store, and let me see how you greet them." This is a consideration for the clerk.

"I've seen your clothes-making skills, and they're pretty good, but I don't know how good you are at embroidery. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to embroider the patterns you're best at."

Hong Chang and Lu Zhi acted as guests. In order to test the guys' coping ability, Zhao Wangshu kept asking them various difficult questions.

How should two guests compete for a piece of clothing? What should I do if a guest ruins his clothes but refuses to admit it? Wait for the question.

After careful instruction from Shopkeeper Huang and Zhou Hai, the guys really lived up to expectations and handled it with ease.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Hai's family came with the female workers and their embroidery work. The three female workers embroidered civet cats, bamboo leaves and group patterns respectively.

Zhao Wangshu looked at the exquisite embroidery work they had done and nodded with satisfaction.

Although their embroidery skills each have their own merits, they all strive for excellence and perfection.

Especially the one who embroidered the civet cat. In such a short period of time, she was able to embroider the civet cat to life.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​embroidering this?" Zhao Wangshu asked curiously. After all, most people embroidered still lifes or plants.

"The slave has a little girl who has a civet cat. She thinks the patches on her clothes are ugly, so she insists on letting the slave embroider the civet cat on it. The slave has to work and do housework. Without so much free time, the civet cat gets more and more embroidered. Soon." The female worker explained sheepishly.

"I see." Zhao Wangshu smiled and turned to look at Shopkeeper Huang, "They are all good at embroidery. Why weren't they allowed to embroider on clothes before?"

Shopkeeper Huang smiled, "It's a small business, and embroidery thread is too expensive. If you embroider flowers and plants, you won't make much money."

Zhao Wangshu now understood why Shopkeeper Huang, who had been in business for more than ten years, only had one shop like this, and his layout was too small.

If the clothes are embroidered with flowers, it will increase the cost, and the selling price will be increased accordingly.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Zhao Wangshu arrived at the tea shop on time, but those girls who did not dare to go out before probably lost track of time because of their fun, and none of them came back.

She could only sit in the shop and wait. After entering the shop, she was too embarrassed to sit there and said, "Bring me a pot of hot tea and two plates of tea fruits. You guys can sit down too."

"Thank you, miss." Hong Chang and Lv Zhi sat down, but they didn't sit down and only sat half-way.

The people living near this street are all officials, and the tea and tea fruits are not bad. At least Zhao Wangshu did not find it difficult to swallow.

A carriage stopped outside the store, and an old woman with gray hair got out of the carriage. She said to the carriage: "The girl has arrived at my uncle's house."

A thin girl of twelve or thirteen years old got out of the car, helped the old woman out of the car, and walked towards the store.

The fat proprietress came out and asked with a smile: "Please sit inside, two guests."

"We're not here to drink tea, we're here to see my uncle," the old woman said.

"Uncle?" The landlady was stunned, then turned and shouted inside, "Master, come out quickly, my niece is here."

The old woman frowned and helped the girl sit down at an empty table. The tea shop owner came out and saw the old woman, "Who are you? I don't know you."

The old woman said in shock: "Who are you? You are not my uncle!"

"Mother Qi." The girl shouted uneasily.

"Don't be afraid, girl, Grandma is here." Grandma Qi comforted her and then asked the boss, "We are looking for the owner of this store."

The boss patted his chest and said, "I am the owner of this store."

"This is my uncle's shop."

"This is my shop. I have been selling tea here for more than ten years."

"What about my uncle?"

"How do I know where your uncle is?"

The two of them were fighting each other, to no avail.

The lady boss who was standing nearby couldn't help but interject and asked: "Is your uncle's surname Dong?"

"Yes, yes." The wrinkles on Nanny Qi's face seemed to have relaxed, "Please, Madam, tell me where my uncle lives."

"Don't call me madam. I'm just a business woman. I can't afford it. I don't know where your uncle lives."

"Then how do you know that my uncle's surname is Dong?"

"I remember, I remember." The boss suddenly spoke, and everyone's attention was focused on him, "The original owner of this store had a surname of Dong, and his name was Dong Wei."

"That's my uncle's name. Please tell me the shopkeeper where to find my uncle." Aunt Qi said with a pleading look on her face.

"Dong Dong's family gave me the store and then went to the border to join the army. He said he wanted to find a future to support his sister. He has been there for more than ten years," the boss said.

"Mommy, what should I do?" The girl panicked.

The master and servant definitely cannot go to the border to look for the person. Even if they are willing to go all the way there, they may not be able to find the person.

"Girl, don't be afraid, there is a nanny here." Aunt Qi felt uneasy and did not dare to show it.

The landlady looked at the old and the young and couldn't bear it, and asked, "Do you have any other relatives in Beijing?"

Grandma Qi thought for a long time before she remembered, "I remember that my wife's cousin married into the Zhao family."

"Zhao family? Which Zhao family? There are many people named Zhao living in these streets alone." The proprietress poured two cups of tea and handed them to the master and servant.

"Thank you, boss lady." The girl held the cup tightly and warmed her cold hands.

"My cousin's surname is Lin, and her husband's name is Zhao Qin." Aunt Qi hesitated a little, then thought about it carefully, "Yes, that's Zhao Qin."

Zhao Wangshu, who was sitting nearby waiting for someone, didn't expect that Zhao Jiahua would be the one to eat melon. Zhao Qin and Lin were her parents.

Although he already knew who the master and servant were looking for, Zhao Wangshu didn't know whether to tell them or not.

After all, I don’t know what the relationship between Lin and her cousin is, and I don’t know if Lin is willing to take in her cousin’s orphan.

However, after the landlady said, "Sorry, I can't help, we don't know this person." Zhao Wangshu still said, "I know where the person you are looking for lives."

After all, I couldn't bear to see the master and servant desperate.
