Chapter 34 Embroidery Contest
Zhou Ran took it and took a look, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Embroidery competition?"

Shopkeeper Peng nodded, "Yes, this embroidery competition is under the instruction of the prefect and is organized by Linglong Embroidery Studio and Jinhua Embroidery Studio. All embroidery workshops in Yongxing Prefecture can send embroiderers to participate."

"Our Linglong Embroidery Workshop and Jinhua Embroidery Workshop have been competing for many years. In order to defeat our Linglong Embroidery Workshop in this competition, the owner of Jinhua Embroidery Workshop specially invited two powerful embroidery girls from Jiangnan. The embroidery girls from our Fucheng area There is no match for the two Jiangnan embroiderers, so I can only ask Mrs. Zhou to take action."

Zhou Ran said: "Your Linglong Embroidery Workshop can also hire powerful embroiderers from Jiangnan." It's not like Linglong Embroidery Workshop doesn't have this capability.

Shopkeeper Peng smiled awkwardly and said: "Our Linglong Embroidery Workshop did hire powerful embroiderers from Jiangnan, but when things came to a close, those two embroiderers changed their minds and were unwilling to come."

"Let's look for other embroidery girls. We couldn't find a suitable one for a while. It just so happened that our boss saw the double-sided embroidery screens you embroidered and felt that your embroidery skills were better than those of the two Jiangnan embroidery girls. There is nothing wrong with the embroidery girl, so I will invite you to Fucheng to participate in this competition on behalf of our Linglong Embroidery Workshop."

As soon as Shopkeeper Peng finished speaking, the system's mechanical sound rang in Zhou Ran's mind.

[Short-term mission: Represent Linglong Embroidery Workshop in the Yongxing Mansion Embroidery Competition, win first place, and gain +50 health (limited to thirty days). 】

The short-term tasks of the system always come so timely and catch people off guard.

What could Zhou Ran do? She could only agree to Shopkeeper Peng.

"Shopkeeper Peng has taken great care of me. Now that Shopkeeper Peng needs me, I am naturally obligated. But if I fail to win the competition, my boss won't blame me, right?"

Although there are system requirements, she will definitely work hard to win the first place in this embroidery competition, but nothing is absolute. Although she has books provided by the system and knows more stitches than the average Jiangnan embroiderer, she really After all, the time to start embroidery is still young, unlike many Jiangnan embroidery girls who started picking up needles when they were young.

It would be okay if she wins then, but if she loses, she will have the health points awarded after completing the last long-term mission to support her. The impact on herself will not be too great, but the impact on Linglong Embroidery Workshop may be greater.

Shopkeeper Peng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhou, you are very benevolent if you agree to attend the competition for our Linglong Embroidery Studio. Our boss said that no matter what the final result is, he will be grateful for Mrs. Zhou's help."

Zhou Ran nodded, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"Then... we will set off for Fucheng after the third day of the first lunar month. Madam Zhou, can you come here?" Shopkeeper Peng asked.

The embroidery competition will be held on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the first lunar month. It takes five days to travel by carriage from Nanxing County to Yongxing Prefecture. If there is heavy snow or something on the way, there will be delays. You will also have to get used to it when you arrive in Fucheng. , it is already too late to set off after the third day of the first lunar month.

Zhou Ran also knew this and had no objection to Shopkeeper Peng's arrangement.

After discussing the embroidery competition with Zhou Ran, shopkeeper Peng focused on the embroidery brought by Zhou Ran.

"There's no double-sided embroidery this time?"

Shopkeeper Peng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after seeing the embroidery brought by Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Double-sided embroidery is difficult to embroider. How can we do double-sided embroidery every time?"

Shopkeeper Peng put away the disappointment on his face and smiled at Zhou Ran: "Ms. Zhou is right, I am greedy. Mrs. Zhou's embroidery, even if it is single-sided, is of high quality."

Zhou Ran brought three pieces of embroidery this time, none of which were large. In the end, shopkeeper Peng gave Zhou Ran a total of two hundred taels in silver notes.

After taking the money, Zhou Ran went to Ping'an Hall to buy medicine for Ye Ximing, and then turned to the snack shop on West Street.

Just like last time, there was still a long queue in front of the dim sum shop. Zhou Ran walked over and stood at the end of the queue. As soon as she stood up, the little beggar huddled up in a ball not far from the shop quickly stood up from the corner, stamped his feet that were numb from the cold and ran towards her direction.

After running up to Zhou Ran, the little beggar felt aggrieved and complained: "Why did you just come? I've been waiting for you for many days."

Zhou Ran looked at the trembling little beggar in front of her and was a little surprised. After looking at the little beggar for a moment, Zhou Ran lowered her eyes and apologized, "I'm sorry, I've been a little busy recently."

This was the first time that someone had apologized to the little beggar since he grew up. The little beggar felt that he seemed to be different at this moment. There was a different light in his eyes, and he said seriously and solemnly: "Okay, I forgive you."

Zhou Ran smiled and began to think seriously about how to arrange the little beggar in front of her.

She just said it casually at the time, never expecting that the little beggar would actually come to see him again, but now that the little beggar was here, she couldn't ignore it.

While Zhou Ran was silent, the little beggar kept chattering beside her.

"What do you want me to do? Let me tell you. Don't look at me like this. I am very strong. No beggar in the entire county can beat me."

Of course, Zhou Ran had never thought about letting the little beggar do hard work. What kind of hard work could his small body do? Besides, she had no hard work for the little beggar to do here.

"You come with me first." Zhou Ran decided to take the little beggar to buy some thicker clothes first.

When they came to the clothing store, Zhou Ran wanted to take the little beggar in, but the little beggar knew that he was not welcome. If he followed Zhou Ran in, he might make the store owner and customers unhappy, so he would cause trouble for Zhou Ran, so he insisted. Standing outside the door waiting for Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran didn't force it, she went into the store and picked out two cheap cotton clothes for the little beggar.

After coming out, Zhou Ran handed a set of cotton-padded clothes to the little beggar and said, "Put it on."

The little beggar looked at the brand new cotton clothes in front of him and shook his head repeatedly: "No, I can't take it. You have already helped me a lot, I can't take your things anymore."

If it weren't for Zhou Ran, he might have been beaten half to death that day. Let alone letting the old beggar eat meat buns and sweet snacks in his last days, he might not have been able to survive this winter.

He hasn't done any work for Zhou Ran yet, so how can he ask for her things again. Although he was originally a little beggar who relied on charity from others, but for some reason he didn't want Zhou Ran to think that he was a greedy person.

Zhou Ran smiled helplessly, stuffed the cotton-padded clothes to him, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, if you get frozen, who will help me with the work?"

The little beggar then hesitantly took it, but he only held it carefully in his hand and did not wear it on his body.

"Hurry up and put it on so you can help me work."

After hearing this, the little beggar quickly put on his cotton clothes and said, "I'm ready, can I start working?"

She had never seen someone so eager to work. Just as Zhou Ran was about to say something to him, she caught sight of two people from the corner of her eye that surprised her.
