When the autumn wind blows, Jiang Wanru's needlework, after two years of grinding, can finally be shown to the world. After learning simple double-sided embroidery with Jiyuan, she carefully embroidered ten pieces of handkerchiefs for women, five of which were given to Jiyuan as a thank-you gift. Jiyuan took the handkerchief and, in order to encourage Jiang Wanru to continue working hard, sincerely praised her two or three times, saying: "Not bad, close to my standard."

  Jiang Wanting heard Jiyan's praise and continued to work hard, embroidering more than a dozen men's handkerchiefs. That day, she presented more than a dozen hand-embroidered men's handkerchiefs to Mugen in front of Jiyan. Mugen, who received the handkerchief, smiled and said: "Sister's embroidery is good, I like this handkerchief." Jiang Wanting heard and laughed at Jiyan beside her, saying softly: "Did you hear that? I told you to embroider a handkerchief for my brother, but you kept pushing it back. Now the credit has been taken by me." Fang Zheng, who was watching from the side, saw the handkerchiefs in Mugen's hands and his eyes turned red with envy, snatching half of the handkerchiefs from Mugen's hands.

  As the night fell quietly, Jiang Wanru and Ji Yan sat in the room, each lowering their heads to work on their needlework. After a long time, Jiang Wanru held up the handkerchief she had embroidered and examined it carefully under the candlelight. Ji Yan heard the movement and looked up to see the handkerchief in Jiang Wanru's hand. She saw the smile on Jiang Wanru's face and smiled along with her, but as she slightly tilted her head, she glanced at the several boxes placed beside Jiang Wanru and couldn't help but shake her head slightly in her heart. Those boxes contained the handkerchiefs that Jiang Wanru had recently embroidered.

  Jiang Wanru was so enthusiastic about making embroidered handkerchiefs after mastering the technique that she spent all her time on it, except for practicing calligraphy. Gu Yan thought to himself that with Jiang Wanru's current fervor, in ten years' time, every member of both families would have enough handkerchiefs to last a lifetime. Jiang Wanru glanced at the corner of the handkerchief she was holding, which had a flower pattern on it, and showed it to Gu Yan, saying: "I've made several styles of handkerchiefs. We can try selling them in the shop."

  Ji Yan let out a sigh of relief and smiled, saying: "Miss, you originally embroidered them to sell, that's great. Miss, everyone likes the style you embroidered. It will definitely sell very well." Jiang Wanru smiled and glanced at her, saying: "If they don't sell, we can use them ourselves." Ji Yan looked at Jiang Wanru with a bitter face, saying: "Miss, it will definitely sell well. Otherwise, I'm worried that in the future when my sister-in-law enters our household, all the handkerchiefs of her family members can be directly given to Miss to embroider."

  Jiang Wan looked at Ji Yan's bitter face, her mood suddenly improved, and she smiled and said to her: "Don't worry, I'll take care of my handkerchief. The style is exquisite and beautiful. Besides, it was your brother who actively told me to put the handkerchief in the store for sale. By doing so, I can practice my skills and earn some silver. If the handkerchief sells quickly, in the future, I will only be responsible for designing the patterns, and the store will hire an embroiderer to make them according to the design. At that time, we will also put our shop's logo on the handkerchiefs and sell them to the Zhongnan region."

  Fang Zheng last time took Jiang Wan's embroidered handkerchief, divided into two pieces for his master. The shopkeeper was an expert, and after taking a closer look, he immediately proposed: "The boss is clever, the pattern on this handkerchief looks small and elegant, but it doesn't affect the overall feeling of the handkerchief. Ask the boss to come up with more patterns, we'll try selling them in the store first. If business is good, we can think of other sales channels later." Fang Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, thinking it was a great idea. He had only glanced at Jiang Wan's embroidered handkerchief, and thought the pattern wasn't flashy, didn't affect the masculinity of the person using the handkerchief, so he snatched a few pieces from Mu Gen's hands for his own use. Fang Zheng felt that his master could connect one thing to business, and deeply felt that he was too inexperienced in this aspect.

  Ji Yan heard the meaning in Jiang Wanru's words and thought that if the handkerchiefs sold well, she would have to ask the seamstress to do more work. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly spoke up: "Miss, no need to ask the seamstress to do it, my mother and I can take on this task." Jiang Wanru heard this and laughed so hard that she bent her waist, saying: "Ji Yan, if the handkerchief styles can be sold in the central and southern regions, even with your mother and me together, we won't be able to finish all those embroidery tasks. You just focus on creating more flower patterns later, you're better at that than I am." Ji Yan thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly: "Miss, can I also create flower patterns?"

  Jiang Wanru couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this. Ji Yan's courage had grown over the years, and she was much more composed than in her youth. When facing outsiders, she could appear quite stable and dignified. However, no matter what, she couldn't change her inherent timidity, and she always acted with caution. Nevertheless, anyone with discerning eyes would have to admit that Ji Yan had a natural talent for needlework. Her mind was nimble, and even when making the same garment with the same fabric and pattern, hers would turn out more elegant than others'.

  After learning to make clothes, Jiang Wanmu never dared to embroider flowers on them, fearing it would affect the overall beauty of the garment. She liked making handkerchiefs because they had a small space for embroidery, and the flowers were small, so her lack of skill was not easily noticeable. In terms of playing to one's strengths and avoiding weaknesses, Jiang Wanmu still understood that in embroidery, she couldn't compare to Ji Yan's skill and finesse. Jiang Wanmu nodded vigorously at Ji Yan, believing that she had potential in this area and hoping that in the future, she could rely on her own efforts to make a better life for herself.

  In the ordinary people's homes in Ningzhou, there were not so many rules for women. After all, survival was the most important thing. The men who were the heads of households did not object to their wives doing some needlework to earn some extra money; on the contrary, they took pride in their wives' good needlework skills. When Jiang Wan heard about this, she felt very envious of those women, thinking that they had more autonomy at home and also had a say in family matters compared to women from aristocratic families. Jiang Wan knew that Mu Gen was simple-minded and it would be difficult for him to make a fortune in the future. However, as a husband, he was quite good.

  Jiang Wanmu glanced at Jiyuan, who was excitedly saying: "Miss, I also want to come up with some new ideas tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll start making more scarves. I want our store to have more scarves to sell..." Jiang Wanmu smiled as she listened to Jiyuan's nonsensical talk about the future. Days filled with dreams are always good days. Jiyuan's small face turned red with excitement as she spoke for a long time, without realizing that she didn't even have the fabric in her hands to make scarves. Moreover, she had said earlier that she didn't have enough embroidery thread and needed to buy some more tomorrow.

  The night was even darker, and Jiang Wanmu smiled at Jiyuan, hearing the surprised voice outside: "Third Master, are you back tonight?" Inside the house, Jiang Wanmu glanced at Jiyuan, who had stopped speaking, and saw that she too had a look of surprise on her face. Her eyes flickered slightly as she said in a soft voice, "It's none of our business. After he leaves, you can go back to your room and sleep. We'll leave early tomorrow." As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of knocking on the door was heard outside, accompanied by Lianhao's shout: "Wanmu, open the door, I have something to say to you."

  Jiang Wanmu slightly furrowed her brow and said to Jiyuan in a low voice, "Remember not to close the door, just leave it open like that." Jiyuan went to open the door and welcomed Lianhao in. Jiang Wanmu quickly put away several boxes on the table, leaving only a handkerchief that she hadn't had time to put away. When Lianhao came in, Jiang Wanmu stood up and smiled as she greeted him, saying, "Third Master, are you resting today?" Lianhao sat down, glanced at Jiang Wanmu who was still standing, and gestured for her to sit down, saying, "I'll rest tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you, so I rushed back tonight."

  Jiang Wanru hasn't known what to say to Lian Hua since he snatched her two jade pieces. Jiang Wanru reached out to touch her empty neck, and smiled as she let go of her hand to look at Lian Hua. But saw that he was making eyes at Jiyuan, while Jiyuan lowered his head, not noticing his subtle gaze. Jiang Wanru followed suit, lowering her head, thinking that Jiyuan had become even more beautiful recently, which is why Lian Hua noticed her. Now it seems that in the future, she should still avoid seeing Lian Hua, lest she gets entangled in some unrelated trouble.

  Lian Hao glanced at the two masters and servants with their heads down, and said directly to Jiang Wanru: "Wanru, let the people around you go down, I have something to say to you." Jiang Wanru looked up at him, and seeing that it was indeed late, she didn't want Lian Hao to stay in the room for too long. She opened her mouth to Ji Yan and said: "Ji Yan, go out for a while. Remember, I still have things to instruct you, so wait outside first and come back later." Ji Yan's eyes flickered slightly as he smiled and said: "Yes, miss, I'll wait outside."

  After Ji Yan left the room, Lian Hao's expression changed to one of displeasure. He spoke in a low voice to Jiang Wanru, "Wanru, it seems like you've forgotten that you're my wife?" Jiang Wanru smiled slightly and replied, "Third Master, have you come here tonight just to remind me of this? Or is it to tell me how much longer I can remain your wife? You're smarter than me, with more knowledge and experience. Why don't you calculate it for me and give me a specific date?" Lian Hao's expression changed from anger to a smile as he looked at Jiang Wanru.

  Jiang Wanmu looked at Lian Hua's smiling face, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little flustered and panicked. Her body stiffened up straight. Thinking that it was already late, Lian Hua had never come over at night before, his sudden arrival had also driven away the people by her side. This Lian Hua seemed to have changed into a different person, giving off an inexplicable eerie feeling. She didn't know how Lian Hua would treat her next, and her heart was jumping up and down nonstop. Lian Hua glanced at Jiang Wanmu's somewhat flustered expression, and smiled as he said: "Wanmu, you're thinking too much, I just said one sentence and you've already responded with two or three sentences. Alright, last time I took your two pieces of jade, now I've found a cyan jade pearl necklace that would match perfectly with those jades, hurry up and change out the red cord for this jade chain, let me take a look?"

  Jiang Wanmu looked at the jade chain in front of her, then glanced at Lianhao who was urging her. She reached out to touch her neck and shook her head slightly, saying: "I don't need this jade chain, that piece of jade is not with me now." Lianhao looked at Jiang Wanmu with some disbelief, saying: "That's the peaceful jade personally blessed by the abbot of Guangming Temple, how could it not be with you?" Jiang Wanmu stared back at him without speaking, her eyes full of questioning.
