Chapter 25 Weak Han Rou

Shen Yunyao beat her vigorously. After a while, she stopped and prepared to go back to the house to wash up and sleep.

The secret guard was in a state of panic. He was more frightened today than he had been in the past ten years or so. He immediately left and went to report to Mu Hanxiao.

Early the next morning, Shen Yunyao discussed with Ms. Liu about making flowers.

"Mother, you need to recruit more people to make flower tangles. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with the supply." Shen Yunyao drank her porridge and made her suggestion.

Ms. Liu said: "I'm looking for the women in the village. How do you think the price should be set? How many people should I look for?"

Shen Yunyao said: "The price is the same as the ones made by children. Thirty petals are a penny. Let's find ten first and let them all come to our house to make them. This will save the things they bring back from getting dirty."

Mrs. Liu asked: "Aren't you afraid that they will learn to walk and do it by themselves?"

Shen Yunyao was not worried and said: "They only know how to make petals, but they don't know how to assemble the petals. They can't learn. I gave my mother how to assemble the petals, and she asked someone she trusted to sign a confidentiality agreement to teach her." Just find five of them."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Mrs. Liu quickly finished her porridge and went out to find someone.

Shen Yunyao went to the clan leader to write a contract.

In less than half an hour, a group of young wives entered the hospital, and Shen Yunyao also came back.

"Ayao is really capable. I heard that your family also opened a noodle stall, and now you have started this business of entangled flowers. It's really amazing!"

"Thirty petals are a penny, how much can we earn in a day? How about ten petals a penny?"

"That's right, Ayao has made a lot of money, so let us make a little more money."

The little wives were shouting.

Shen Yunyao smiled lightly and said: "Sisters-in-law, this is how the price is set. If anyone thinks it's too little, just leave. Skilled people will naturally earn more money. Of course, the finished petals must be well-proportioned, flat, clean, and not frizzy. If it doesn’t meet the requirements, we won’t accept it, and you’ll have to tear it down and make it again. However, for every sixty pieces made, you’ll get an extra penny.”

After speaking, she brought a bench to her sisters-in-law, took out the materials, and showed them.

After hearing what Shen Yunyao said, none of the sisters-in-law was willing to leave because of the low price. They were even more cautious when making petals with Shen Yunyao, for fear of doing something bad.

After trying to make one, they were able to do it skillfully and felt very happy. It turns out that this thing is so simple.

At this time, Mrs. Liu came back with five people, including Mrs. Fang, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhang.

Seeing that they were doing well, Shen Yunyao tugged on Mrs. Liu's sleeves and said, "Mom, take them with you. Let's go to another room."

Shen Yunyao took out the contract, told them the contents of the contract, and asked them to put their fingerprints on it.

No one moved or spoke. They were frightened by the one hundred taels they had to pay for breach of contract.

Fang took the lead and pressed her fingerprints, "Just don't tell others about this. There's nothing to be afraid of. Who can't keep their mouths shut?"

Shen Yunyao glanced at Mr. Fang with admiration and said: "The part we made is more important, so we will give ten coins for each piece made, and ten coins for every fifty pieces made."

The other four people then pressed their fingerprints.

Shen Yunyao began to teach them how to assemble the finished tangled flowers.

After teaching them, Shen Yunyao called Mrs. Fang out and said, "Aunt Fang, you are in charge of these fifteen people. Five hundred coins a month. How about that?"

Fang frowned slightly, "No. If you let me take care of it, I can take care of it, but don't give me any money."

"That's not possible. Auntie, the stewards in the city earn six hundred, seven hundred, or even a few taels of silver a month. I've already taken advantage of you. The stewards have a lot to do, and this is the money you should get. Don't you? I'm sorry. If you refuse again, I will find someone else."

Mrs. Fang then agreed and said with a smile: "Don't look for anyone else. If you have money, don't make a bastard. Let me do it!"

After Shen Yunyao arranged everything, she went with Mrs. Liu to deliver the finished flowers, and the twins also wanted to go.

She had no choice but to ask Mr. Fang to help keep an eye on it.

Borrowing the clan leader's ox cart, Liu drove the ox cart to the town.

On the way, Shen Yunyao had to learn to drive the cattle cart, but as a result, the cattle either refused to move or almost drove them into a ditch.

After being scolded by Mrs. Liu, Shen Yunyao calmed down.

Ms. Liu murmured in her heart that Ayao had been thinking everything carefully during this period and could do better than herself, but now she looked like a child.

In the second-floor wing of Zhiyage, Li Xue was extremely impatient, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled lightly and said, "I really don't have that hairpin in Zhiyage. Can I still lie to you?"

"We have been in love since childhood, can I still believe you? It's just that it's too late for me to know such a good thing, alas!"

Opposite Li Xue sat a girl with an oval-shaped face and delicate make-up. She frowned slightly and clasped her small waist. This posture of supporting a willow made people feel a sense of protectiveness for no reason.

Li Xue heard the implication of her words and said: "Originally, I also kept 50 sticks. It was not because it was too popular. I didn't keep any and sold them all. The business was too busy, so I'm sorry this time. But today There will be new products, Rou'er, you come and pick them first."

If Han Rou hadn't been playing with her since childhood, she wouldn't have bothered to pay more attention.

She didn't expect that the lady from the Han family, her neighbor, whom she hadn't seen for five years, seemed to be a different person now.

Before she was ten years old, Han Rou was outspoken and cute. When she was ten, she went to the capital with her parents. A few days ago, Han Rou returned to the house here with her servants.

When she saw Han Rou again, she looked so soft and frail. Every word she said contained a lot of meaning, and she was sensitive. It was very tiring to get along with this person.

If it weren't for the past friendship, she would have wanted to break off the relationship.

"Miss, Miss Shen is here." Xiangxiang came in and reported.

Li Xue said happily: "Let her bring her things here."

Now Han Rou could finish her selection quickly and leave, so she wouldn't have to listen to so many complaints.

She had just listened to Han Rou talking for an hour, complaining about life in the town and how she missed life in the capital.

At first she showed sympathy and enlightened the other party, but then she became more and more numb after hearing more.

It turned out that they were showing off their life in the capital in a shameless way.

Han Rou asked curiously: "Miss Shen is the one who makes hairpins?"

"Yes, her name is Shen Yunyao, and she is a good friend. Take a look at it later, the hairpins she made are very beautiful."

Li Xue said, unconsciously smiling from the bottom of her heart.

Han Rou stared at Li Xue's face, her eyes darkened, she lowered her head slightly and bit her lip gently.

It turns out that my friend already has a new friend, no wonder she can't even compare to a hairpin in his friend's heart.

Shen Yunyao knocked on the door and came in. When she saw Han Rou, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded as a greeting, and then said to Li Xue: "Miss Li, these are the three hundred hairpins for today. Take a look first. There are also two bamboo baskets."

She removed the bamboo basket from her back and placed it gently on the table.

Mrs. Liu also came in later and put down the bamboo basket as well.

Li Xue said: "From now on, please call me Xue'er or Xiaoxue. Calling me Miss Li is too foreign."

She took out three hairpins from her backpack. The quality was good. She nodded and handed it to Han Rou to see, "This is the most popular hairpin I bought. How do you like it? Does it look good?"

This hairpin has the same five kinds of flowers: plum blossom, peach blossom, chrysanthemum, lotus, and peony.

There are just a lot of variations in color.

Han Rou stared at the flowers in front of her and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, it seems real. Are these given to me?"

Li Xue resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Didn't you say you came to buy it just now? Why did she give it to you again?

This basket is full of high-end goods, decorated with pearls and flowers, and you can see that there are several taels of goods at a glance.

Forget it, just treat it as a meeting gift.

Li Xue smiled and said: "Well, I'll give it to you."

"Then I'll take a good look." Han Rou stood up, approached the basket, and took out one by one. She looked at each one for a while, as if she was reluctant to let go.

She smiled solemnly and said: "I, forgive me for being so excited, I have never got any decent jewelry in the capital. I have never seen this hairpin in the capital. Most people in the capital wear real flowers. Most of the nobles are Wear jewelry, gold and silver jewelry.”

Shen Yunyao glanced at the silver jewelry and pearl hairpins on Han Rou's head, and thought to herself: Isn't this some decent jewelry?

Li Xue couldn't help but look at Han Rou's hair and said, "The jewelry you are wearing is quite beautiful."

Han Rou wanted to curse in her heart. Shouldn't the focus be on the injustice she suffered in the capital?
