Chapter 636: Taking in? Disguised and entering the embroidery workshop
"You... can you really clear Min'er's name? Forget it, girl. Peng Kun has a huge influence in Lin'an City. Apart from his wife's family and his backers in the capital, there are probably few people who can scare him." Old Man He looked at the two young men and women in front of him and shook his head. His daughter was already gone, so how could anyone take risks because of this?
"It's okay, just wait. Tornado, let's go." Yao Qingnian whispered a few words to comfort them, then called Tornado and left.
"Girl..." Old Man He wanted to say something, but Yao Qingnian and the others had already walked out the door, and the sound of Aunt He crying could be heard faintly from inside.
"That Mr. Peng is so abominable. I have disliked him for a long time. Madam, tell me, what should we do now?!" Tornado said indignantly.
"Let's do this..." Yao Qingnian thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements." Xuanfeng nodded and the two of them prepared to go.
The two found a place to disguise themselves.
"I really won't be recognized like this?" At this time, Xuanfeng had been dressed up as a girl by Yao Qingnian. He looked at his outfit with embarrassment.
"Of course not. You have to trust my makeup skills. It's not that easy to be exposed. Not to mention, when you dress up like this, you're no less pretty than a girl." Yao Qingnian looked at Xuanfeng with satisfaction.
"Okay then..." Tornado held his chest together uncomfortably.
"Hahaha, let's go, let's get going." The two of them dressed like ordinary people and headed towards the embroidery workshop.
After Yao Qingnian and the others got dressed, they went to Peng Kun's embroidery workshop. They heard that his wife had found out about his last affair and beat him up. She didn't let him take care of the family affairs and sent him to the embroidery workshop, where he stayed all day long. Naturally, the matter of becoming the head of the Chamber of Commerce fell through. He felt aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. He could only find a few guys in the embroidery workshop to have a drink, and his life was comfortable and relaxed.
We arrived at the embroidery workshop and it was Yao Qingnian's turn to perform.
"Excuse me, are you still hiring embroiderers?"
"Yeah, where are you from? The requirements here are high, not everyone can come in." The clerk in the embroidery workshop looked at the two of them.
"My dear brother, my sister and I came from another county to Lin'an City to look for our relatives. However, we didn't find anyone and our travel expenses are all gone. If we don't find something to do, we will have to sleep on the streets. We heard that there is work in your embroidery workshop, so we came here specially to ask if you can take us in. My sister and I can do any work. Don't worry, our requirements are not high. We just need food to eat and a place to live. Once we find our relatives, we will leave immediately."
"This is an embroidery workshop, not a shelter. Go away." The clerk impatiently asked them to leave.
"I can embroider. If you can take us in, we don't want any wages!" Yao Qingnian shouted loudly.
Mr. Peng, who was taking a nap inside, was awakened. He opened his eyes irritably and cursed: "Who is making a noise outside and disturbing my sleep? You all don't want to work anymore, right?"
Hearing the scolding, the waiter hurried in and replied, "Master, there are two girls from other places. They said they came to look for their relatives, but they couldn't find them and they ran out of money. They came to ask if we can take them in. The girl said she can do everything and that we can provide them with food and lodging. I will let them go right away!"
"Stop! Let them in!" Master Peng was woken up and felt very unhappy. Since they were two wild girls from other places, they could embroider and didn't need any wages, it would be fine to just give them some food and a place to live.
"Yes, sir." The waiter ran out: "You are lucky, our master let you in."
"Thank you, young man!" Yao Qingnian and the other man exchanged glances, then followed the guy inside.
It was noon now and the workers had all gone back to eat. The embroidery workshop was quiet. Yao Qingnian followed the worker to the yard and saw Peng Kun lying under a tree taking a nap.
"Master, I've brought the people here." The waiter saluted Master Peng, and then said to the two men, "You, why don't you come over here and meet the master."
"Well, you go down first! They stay." After hearing the waiter's words, he slowly got up from the recliner, picked up the small teapot beside him, took two sips, and then looked at Yao Qingnian and the others.
"Greetings, Master." Xuanfeng followed Yao Qingnian's instructions and spoke in a shrill voice, acting like a little bird. Xuanfeng thought, I should be performing well, right?
Yao Qingnian almost laughed out loud, haha, she didn't expect Xuanfeng's acting skills were so good, very good. This shy look really makes people feel pity.
"Oh, little beauty, get up quickly and let me see you." When Master Peng heard the voice, he was really pleased. Looking at his delicate and pretty appearance, he hurried forward, helped him up, and took the opportunity to touch Xuanfeng's hand.
"Thank you, sir." Xuanfeng quickly withdrew his hand embarrassedly. His hands were very rough, and if he touched them, he would be exposed.
Master Peng looked at Yao Qingnian who was standing beside him. This sister didn't look very good. "Ahem, you can stay, but my embroidery workshop is not big, and you can't eat and drink for free."
Yao Qingnian deliberately made herself ugly to highlight the beauty of the whirlwind.
"Master, we understand. My sister can do embroidery, and although I can't do embroidery, I can do everything, such as serving tea and water and serving you. Will you let us stay? We don't want wages, just food and accommodation." Tornado continued.
"Okay then, you guys stay here and try it out. If you perform well, I'll consider it."
"Thank you, Master. We sisters will definitely behave well, right, sister?" Xuanfeng went over and massaged Master Peng's shoulders.
"Yeah, thank you, sir." Yao Qingnian secretly gave Xuanfeng a thumbs up.
"What's your name?" Master Peng looked at Xuanfeng with satisfaction. His wife had seen that the embroidery workshop only hired women and servants, and there wasn't even a pretty young wife. It was a rare opportunity to have one delivered to his door today. It would be nice if he could stay in the yard and serve her without being discovered by his family.
"My name is Feng'er, and this is my sister Qing'er." Xuanfeng said softly.
"Feng'er? What a nice name. Okay, then you can serve me in the backyard, and your sister can help in the embroidery workshop. If you do a good job, I won't treat you unfairly." Master Peng smiled and asked someone to take them to the backyard to stay, and then instructed his men not to make the matter public.
Yao Qingnian and the others entered the embroidery workshop smoothly. Xuanfeng was left in the backyard, while Yao Qingnian was taken to the embroidery workshop in the front yard to work. When it was time to start work, embroiderers came one after another.
