    After ten days of classes, Huaxi was not idle until the rest day, sitting in the room and embroidering two small flowers.

    When Hongliu came in, she saw Huaxi sitting quietly on the side of the couch, with a big fluffy pillow behind her, her head lowered, looking at the patterns on the flower shed intently, her thick eyelashes trembling as lightly as cicada wings, slender  The jade fingers are flying and the needles are moving, and the fingertips are as agile as dancing on the brocade.

    Hongliu walked closer and saw that on the plain white brocade was a three-inch dark gold-edged fortune flower outlined by a striped embroidery circle and a butterfly with spread wings.  Huaxi is playing from shallow to deep, layer by layer, with three blue colors filling the rich petals. The transition between layers is soft, fresh and elegant.

    This was the first time Hongliu had seen such an embroidery method, and she couldn't help but take a second look.

    "Are you back?" Huaxi felt someone approaching, raised his eyes and saw it was Hongliu, lowered his head and continued to embroider.

    "I've never seen this embroidery technique before. I wonder what it's called?"

    "Dazi embroidery, I learned it in Grandma Ma's class. It was originally used to decorate the corners. I thought it looked good so I tried it to see if I could use it on the whole piece. If you want to learn it, I will teach you another day." This is not the case.  Huaxi's invention was just that she had seen a whole piece of three-blue embroidery in her previous life. This embroidery method became popular from the Qing Dynasty.  When I looked at it, I just thought it was simple and beautiful. I didn't expect that now I could embroider it myself. I couldn't help feeling that things in the world are impermanent.

    "Thank you so much, girl." Hong Liufu thanked her and took out a small cloth bag and presented it to Hua Xi, "This is what the girl asked me to find."

    Huaxi put down the flower shed and opened the cloth bag. They were all scraps of fine rabbit velvet and mink fur. She nodded immediately, "Not bad, it's just right."

    Hongliu said: "What are these leftover materials for making winter clothes used for? Usually these are taken away secretly in the embroidery room, spliced ??together, and sold or used for personal use. Today, the woman in charge asked me, I  After a few words of confusion and a promise of some broken silver, she didn't ask any more questions."

    Hua Xi flattened the cloth bag, carefully picked through it, found a few suitable pieces, took them out to compare, and nodded with satisfaction, "Next month is the birthdays of Third Brother and Xuan Brother, I have nothing to offer, spices  I got them all from the house. It¡¯s not suitable to make them into fragrant pills as birthday gifts, so I wanted to make two pairs of ear warmers and gloves as birthday gifts. After the two brothers¡¯ birthdays, winter will soon come, and now I have them in my hands.  This one is for the old lady."

    "Warm ears?" Hong Liu asked puzzledly, "What is it?"

    Huaxi looked up at Hongliu and smiled: "It's used to cover your ears in winter. There's a lot of fur here, and there will be quite a few left after making the three pairs. I'll make one pair for you to take a look at, and I'll give you some later.  Make one by yourself so that you don¡¯t have to freeze your ears while walking around and working outside in the winter.¡±

    "Girl" Hongliu called out in a low voice, and the things that had been suppressed in her heart for the past few months came back to her, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

    "Huh? What's wrong?" Huaxi didn't raise his head, still lowering his head to select leather.

    "My slave, my slave" Hongliu was anxious and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

    Hua Xi put down the things in his hands, "You are usually a cheerful person, why are you so hesitant today?"

    "This slave is just feeling it for a moment. The girl is kind to others. She prepares gifts for the old lady and young masters and is thinking about the slaves slave, the slaves will definitely keep the girl's kindness in their hearts" Hongliu thought for a while, but she didn't know.  Shame or fear, in the end I still didn't say what was in my heart.

    "Are you lenient?" Hua Xi was startled, then smiled, "I have taken note of your words. I will never treat anyone who treats me sincerely"

    Hongliu nodded, "I'll save you the trouble. I will serve the girl wholeheartedly from now on."

    "Is Mother Liu back?"

    "just came back."

    "You go down and do your work, and call Mother Liu here by the way."

    Hongliu exited, and after a while, Mother Liu came.

    Huaxi asked Chunying to move a small table for Liu¡¯s mother to sit on, and then sent Chunying out, then asked: ¡°Mom, can you find a suitable shop when you go out this time?¡±

    Since the Chuntao matter was resolved, Huaxi asked Mother Liu to ask someone to find a shop in the city.

    Mother Liu's face was full of joy, "What a coincidence, my distant nephew lives in Liutiao Lane behind Zhengyang Street. There is a grocery store at the corner of the street that is due to expire at the end of the year. The shop owner is not a local and has returned to his hometown to retire. He doesn't plan to rent the store anymore.  It's not very popular, so my nephew went to inquire about it. The rent is fifteen taels of silver a year. Although it's not on the street, there are many residents around it, and it's close to Zhengyang Street. You can just turn around from Zhengyang Street.  See, the rent is twenty taels cheaper than the shop on the street."

    Huaxi thought it sounded good and asked, "Are there any other powder shops around?"

    "The slave went to see it.  Except for Yipinxiang on Zhengyang Street, there are no rouge shops nearby.  The slave's nephew found out that there were two big families living nearby. The ladies and girls must have bought their goods from Yipinxiang.  The rest are small households with modest doors, and they buy their daily rouge and gouache from street vendors.  "

    "Well, so this place is indeed suitable." Huaxi had not planned to sell high-quality goods as soon as she opened the store. Firstly, there was insufficient funds, and secondly, the cost was too high. Big families had designated places to purchase goods, so she did not expect to be able to grab them.  Other people's businesses are meant for small businesses with some spare money.

    "But there is one thing. I want to ask the girl to make an idea. Who will take care of the shop after it is decided?"

    Hua Xi had already considered this matter, and when she asked about it, he said, "Last time I heard from Mama Liu that your distant nephew is eighteen this year. It seems he hasn't gotten married yet, right?"

    Although I have never seen Mother Liu¡¯s nephew Liu Qigui in Huaxi, I have heard Mother Liu talk about it several times.  His parents passed away five years ago. Thanks to Liu's mother's help, he found a carpenter to learn the craft, and now he does some carpentry work in the master's shop.  A few days ago, he was asked to inquire about the shop. A few days later, news came out that there was news, so Huaxi sent Liu's mother out of the house.

    It didn¡¯t take ten days to find out what happened, and he also found out the prices of other shops. Huaxi felt that Liu Qigui was a capable person, so he made up his mind.

    ¡°Girl¡ª¡ª¡± Mother Liu called out, ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    "Ding Xiang is not young anymore, and she is not born into the Mu family. The deed of betrayal is in my hands. Her temperament is not suitable for staying in this house. I want to find a good family for her who knows her family well."

    Mother Liu was overjoyed, "This is a great thing. That kid Qi Gui is an honest man, so Ding Xiang will definitely be right to follow him."

    "Even if I have this intention, I have to see if Ding Xiang is willing to do it. I'll tell you if it's not appropriate. You can ask her what she means later. If she agrees, you can find an excuse to leave the house and take her to the wedding in two days.  Take a look. If she is interested in you, ask her to accept you as her godmother. Once they are married, the marriage will be handed over to the couple. You will also follow her out of the house, so that you can have someone to support you until the end of your life."

    Mother Liu's eyes were filled with tears, "Girl, I know you are doing this for the sake of me and Ding Xiang. But we are all gone, how can we leave you alone in the house?"
