That sneaky figure is none other than Luo Gong's servant, Changgui.

These days, Luo Gong didn't mention anything about returning to the capital. Changgui's stay in the county was relatively new at first, but after a long time, he wanted to return to the capital.

But he mentioned it several times in front of Luo Gong, but Luo Gong avoided answering. Instead, he felt like he wanted to live in the county for a long time.

Now Chang Gui was anxious. When he followed Luo Gong out, he thought he was just looking for something new and would go back in a few months. Little did he know that Luo Gong would stay in the capital permanently.

Luo Gong quickly noticed Chang Gui's thoughts. He deliberately avoided Chang Gui on some matters.

As for Changgui, he has not given up the idea of ​​returning to the capital, but he also knows that his young master has an idea, so he plans to find out his plans.

After Chang Gui watched Shen Xiu leave, he was about to go back quietly, but was unexpectedly patted on the back.

When he turned his head, he was frightened to death. He saw Luo Gong standing in front of him with an expressionless face and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?"

Changgui said in a trembling voice: "Master, what haven't you done?"

"You didn't do anything?" Luo Gong said coldly: "Then why are you secretly following me?"

Changgui said pitifully: "The younger one is the Young Master's servant, so of course he must follow the Young Master."

Luo Gong didn't speak, and instead of having that careless look on his face, he showed an extremely cold expression, "You are my Luo Gong's servant, but it is Luo Mansion who gives you the moon silver. You don't have to do it again in the future.

Follow me and go back to your capital! I, Luo Gong, don’t need a slave like you who eats inside and outside."

No matter how Chang Gui begged, Luo Gong just told him to get out.

"If I see you again in the county town, I will no longer care about the relationship between master and servant." Luo Gong hated people betraying him the most. Now that Changgui has violated this taboo, Luo Gong will naturally not keep him anymore.

When Chang Gui packed his luggage and left the capital, Shen Xiu was also packing his luggage.

The first lunar month is the most leisurely time of the year. Both Wei's father and Yang are quite popular. Since the third day of the lunar month, people often come to visit us.

Wei Yan needed a quiet atmosphere to study, but he was a guest when he came in, and Wei's father and Mr. Yang couldn't chase them away.

After a few days of this, Father Wei and Mrs. Yang were finally worried about their son's studies and decided to let them return to the county town early.

Of course, the houses in the county town are much quieter than those in the countryside. Except for the occasional visit from Xie Sanniang next door, there are only three people in the house: Shen Xiu, Wei Yan, and Daya.

There was no need to do needlework before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so Shen Xiu would cook in different ways every day just like in Weijia Village.

That day when Wei Yan came back from outside, Shen Xiu brought him a bowl of gastrodia and pigeon soup.

While Wei Yan was drinking soup, Shen Xiu asked, "What did County Magistrate Zuo say? Did he agree to be a guarantee for you?"

Shen Xiu also heard about the fact that one of the four of them was missing each other to protect each other. This was related to whether he could participate in the county examination, so Shen Xiu was naturally very concerned about it.

Wei Yan took a sip of the soup and said, "County Magistrate Zuo has agreed to be a guarantee for the four of us."

Both he and Yuan Ziwen had been praised by Master Xuezheng, and they were well-known talents in Wenhua Academy. Even if Magistrate Zuo did not look at the face of the mountain chief, he would come forward to guarantee the four of them for the sake of Master Xuezheng.

.

What's more, both Wei Yan and Yuan Ziwen are very likely to pass the examination. By then, there will be more scholars in the county, which can also add some political achievements to County Magistrate Zuo. So County Magistrate Zuo agreed happily, saying bluntly that with him here, Wei Yan

The four of them will definitely be able to take part in the county examination.

Shen Xiu was relieved when she heard this.

She watched Wei Yan drink two bowls of pigeon soup, and then someone knocked on the door of the house.

Shen Xiu thought it was Xie Sanniang who came to visit, but she never expected that it was Wei Yan's classmate Qu Huan.

Shen Xiu thought Qu Huan was here to see Wei Yan, so she took him to the room where Wei Yan was studying.

"You guys sit down first, I'll get you some tea." Shen Xiu was about to leave, but was stopped by Qu Huan.

"Sister-in-law, don't leave. I'm here today because I need help from my sister-in-law."

After saying this, Wei Yan and Shen Xiu both looked at Qu Huan.

Wei Yan couldn't figure out what Qu Huan wanted from Shen Xiu, so he said, "What do you want my wife to do for you?"

Qu Huan smiled and said: "Brother Wei, don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just a business matter."

Shen Xiu then asked, "Did Mr. Luo ask you to come?"

"No." Qu Huan said, "I want to do some business myself."

"What business?" Shen Xiu became increasingly confused about what Qu Huan meant.

Qu Huan said: "Sister-in-law, let me ask you something first. Was the orchid embroidered screen you embroidered a few days ago sold to Fucheng?"

Shen Xiudao: "As you said, the orchid embroidered screen has indeed been transported to Fucheng."

Qu Huan said with a smile: "I knew it was like this. I have a relative from Fucheng. This year I followed my parents to visit his house for New Year greetings. I heard from them that there are two families in Fucheng that are the most popular recently. One is the Yu family.

One family is the Qian family. The reason why these two families are so famous is because they have an orchid embroidered screen at home. I heard that people who want to come to see the orchid embroidered screen almost break the threshold of these two families."

Shen Xiu was a businesswoman herself, so she still couldn't understand what Qu Huan meant. She smiled and said: "I did embroider the embroidered screens of the Yu family and the Qian family. It's just that one embroidered screen takes more than a month."

And I have already promised Mr. Luo to embroider an orchid brochure for him, but I’m afraid I won’t have much time in the near future.”

After hearing this, Qu Huan was indeed a little disappointed, but he continued: "Sister-in-law, can you make more orchid brochures and let me take them to Fucheng to sell?"

Shen Xiu shook his head and said: "This is not possible. This orchid album is to be sold to the capital. If the nobles in the capital know that there is such an orchid album in the capital, then this orchid album will not be considered rare."

The nobles in the capital have never seen anything, and what they want when buying this orchid book is the word "rare". If the same thing is available in the capital, then the orchid book will not be famous in the capital.

Without reputation, there will be no way to do subsequent business.

Shen Xiu didn't want to lose the market in the capital just because he made more money.

Wei Yan didn't understand business, but he was smart by nature and quickly understood what the two people said.

"Qu Huan, please don't embarrass your sister-in-law." Wei Yan said, "Forget it."

Qu Huan sighed and said: "I just think this is a way to make money. Although the people in Fucheng are not as many as the nobles in the capital, there are still many rich people."

After he finished speaking, he asked unwillingly: "Sister-in-law, isn't there any other way?"

Luo Gong said that he was doing business with him in partnership, but the other party paid all the capital, and Qu Huan himself only passed on a few words. No matter how kind Luo Gong was, he wouldn't share too much with him.

Qu Huan, on the other hand, wanted to earn a sum of money as soon as possible so that he could start his own business.

Wei Yan thought of Qu Huan's situation and looked at Shen Xiu. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was that he wanted to ask Shen Xiu if there was any other way.

Shen Xiu pondered: "Actually, there is a way. However, the orchid embroidered screen embroidered in this way is not of high quality, and it is estimated that it will not be sold at a good price."

Qu Huan said: "As long as it can be embroidered as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if the quality is inferior."

Shen Xiudao: "The embroidery method I mentioned is indeed fast enough, but it's not enough for me alone. I need to find more helpers."

"But where to find an embroiderer in a hurry?" Qu Huan asked, "Should I pay a high price to hire one elsewhere?"
