Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 8
"I'm really mad at people. My good cheongsam was cut and torn by them, and now I still refuse to admit it. Mr. Qian and Mr. Qu came to judge me." laughed.

"Isn't it just a piece of clothing, and I can make another one. This shop can't be smashed. Ms. He likes the cheongsam made by Master Shen very much. No, my fourth child and I were sent by Boss Meng to pick up cheongsams for Ms. He. Qian Jiang took out a bill and slapped it on the counter with a "slap".

Mrs. Ma was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. No one knew that Ms. He was the niece of Mr. Hua, the boss of Jin'an Hall.

Xiaoyue took a look at the receipt, and said softly: "Miss He Manling's cheongsam is ready, I'll pick it up for you."

Mrs. Ma saw that the people really came to pick up the cheongsam, and she thought they were people who could not offend anyone, so she waved her hands and said, "Forget it, I don't want the clothes anymore, I don't want to be as familiar with them, Xiaocui, let's go, today I will just leave." I don't care about the face of Third Master Qian and Fourth Master Qu."

The servant girl tremblingly helped the middle-aged woman to leave in a hurry.

The other man who came in together didn't speak at all, and he looked a bit dull in his gentle manner.He glanced at Ye Zijin, and suddenly asked, "Do you know Boss Meng?"

Ye Zijin shook his head, "I don't know him. Boss Meng's reputation is far and wide, I've only heard of it."

Qian Jiangdao: "Seeing that what you said is true, you dare to challenge Mrs. Ma, you are quite courageous."

"That's thanks to Boss Meng's prestige." Ye Zijin guessed that the two of them and that Mrs. Ma were probably members of the gang, and they were a little more cautious when speaking.

"Heh, the big brother is so majestic. Don't worry, no one dares to touch this shop." Qian Jiang laughed.

At this time, Xiaoyue fetched the cheongsam, Qian Jiang paid for the clothes and got into the car with Qu Xiangtian.

"It's dangerous." Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"You also said that if I hadn't reacted quickly, the God of Plague would have ordered someone to smash the shop. You didn't even know Boss Meng was so famous." Xiao Wu complained.

"Zijin, who is Boss Meng? How do you know him?" Xiaoyue asked.

Xiao Wu looked helpless, "You don't read newspapers, Meng Haoxiang has never heard of it, but he is a popular person next to the boss of Jin'antang, the big boss of Baohui Foreign Firm!"

"Oh..." Xiaoyue asked again, "Zijin, what do you do? Do you want to think about coming to Shen Ji for help? When the master comes back, I will tell him that there is a shortage of someone like you in the shop." Experts in needlework, Xiao Wu and I can only help the master with odd jobs, but your skills can help the old man do a lot of work."

"I have been selling newspapers and cigarettes. If Master Shen doesn't dislike me, I am willing to come to Shenji to help. Thank you, Xiaoyue." When Ye Zijin heard that she could help in the tailor shop, she was willing to do so. There is no need to expose to the wind and sun to make clothes, so I agreed immediately.

On this day, after selling the last newspaper, Ye Zijin went home full of joy. In order to celebrate her hope of entering the tailor shop, she went to the Dezhen Hall of Chenghuang Temple to buy a box of pear paste candies that Zheng loved.

As soon as he entered the house, he found a strange woman sitting in the house.

Zizheng was fixing a phonograph when he saw Ye Zijin come in, and hurriedly said, "Sister, this is the female student I mentioned to you last time, her name is Wang Xinyu. Xinyu said that her phonograph was broken. I can fix it, so I came to my house."

"Hi, Miss Ye, I'm sorry to bother you." Wang Xinyu nodded politely.

Zijin responded with a smile, and glanced at Zizheng, but Ye Zizheng deliberately avoided her gaze.

Ye Zijin put the pear paste candy he bought on the table, picked up a piece and handed it to Wang Xinyu, "Try this, the pear paste candy from Deshengtang is Zizheng's favorite."

Wang Xinyu took the candy with both hands, and said: "Thank you." She tasted a small piece and said, "This candy is so sweet, Zizheng said just now that he has the best sister in the world, and seeing her now is really envious." , It hurts to have a good sister, it's like soaking in a honeypot."

Ye Zijin now knew why Zizheng was so impressed by the girl in front of him. Not only was this girl beautiful, she also had a nice voice.The hair style is the pear flower-style ear-length short hair that female students like recently, revealing a smooth forehead, delicate eyebrows, and crooked eyes when smiling.Seeing her reminded Ye Zijin of the phrase "After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather comes late in autumn".

"Xinyu, you live in the alley too?" Ye Zijin remembered Zizheng mentioning it.

Wang Xinyu nodded and said: "Well, I just moved here a few days ago. I also live with my sister, but she is very busy every day, and my schedule is different from hers."

Ye Zijin vaguely guessed something, and didn't ask any more questions.

Zizheng struggled for a long time but failed to fix the phonograph. It was getting late, Wang Xinyu got up and said, "Leave the phonograph here first. I'll get it after it's repaired. I'll go back first."

Ye Zijin glanced at Zizheng, and said, "Don't mess with it, go and send it to someone else."

"Oh..." Zizheng put down his tools and went out with Wang Xinyu.

Ye Zijin looked at the disassembled gramophone, recalling Zizheng's serious repair just now, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
