theoretical proposal was undoubtedly the best opportunity to push the art of Manchu embroidery to another climactic peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she was also very aware that if Gu Youyou wanted to start this ready-to-wear clothing store, she could use other embroidery to replace her Manchu embroidery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she was sought out was merely due to their acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This opportunity…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could be described as once this chance is gone, there won’t be another shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at what cost…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to make Manchu embroidery a common craft that everyone could master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou calmed her spirit and carefully observed Miss Du, who was in a quandary, guessing the latter’s thoughts to a great extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it been a normal business partner, Gu Youyou need not have employed persuasion with emotion and reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could have exerted both favor and authority and secured Miss Du’s cooperation effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, who else could be as loyal and down-to-earth as Miss Du?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the favor she owed the Jie Family and because helping her reignite the greatness of Manchu embroidery, Miss Du would be the most trustworthy business partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, unlike modern times, Gu Youyou did not have the luxury of time to ponder over an opponent or a partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding one worth trusting was to secure lasting peace of mind, which is why she made every effort to persuade Miss Du and win her over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re unwilling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But have you considered that without heirs and without a disciple to pass on your skills, Manchu embroidery will ultimately be lost?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since your ancestors broke tradition to ensure its continuous transmission from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, why must you adhere to convention and let this skill lose its legacy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand you fear that Manchu embroidery will lose its value once everyone can do it, but you needn’t worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go to the human trafficker’s, spend more silver to buy maids with good talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Servitude Contract in your hands, they are yours, just like Cuiya, and controlling a maid is far easier than managing an Embroiderer, isn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all else fails, ask Miss Xie to help you find a fierce matron to take charge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although such a practice was very inhumane, it must be said that Yue Rujing’s method was highly effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those maids who were sold, it was also beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being an Embroiderer was certainly better than being confined to serving and dealing with the intrigues of women in a large household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least they wouldn’t be beaten on a whim, wouldn’t have to take the blame for their masters, wouldn’t be sexually harassed by male masters with ulterior motives, and they wouldn’t have to kneel and kowtow to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would at least live with dignity, like human beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone not born lacking common sense would choose to be a loyal Embroiderer with rights rather than a maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Du had been struggling with this decision, her head bowed in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a significant matter for her, and Gu Youyou did not rush her, waiting for her to make a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the stone table under the willow tree outside the courtyard, Xie Qinyun was playing with Yue Rujing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou glanced over in slight surprise, never expecting these two to frolic together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you an employee of Jisheng Hall?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you a guard of Jisheng Hall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, no, that’s not right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would Jisheng Hall have guards?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you a relative of the Lin Family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I have nothing to do with the Lin Family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Qinyun thought about it and realized it made sense; after all, the relatives of the Lin Family were essentially from the Ducal Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ran out of patience after guessing back and forth, and asked loudly, “Who exactly are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guess?” Yue Rujing plucked a willow twig and playfully scraped it over Xie Qinyun’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Qinyun snatched it and threw it on the ground, and looking at Lin Qianqing talking to another employee by the lotus pond in the distance, she said, “Calling you a servant doesn’t seem right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qianqing is so respectful towards you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that person who came with you, she’s respectful to him, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who on earth are you two?”\u003C\u002Fp>",723,"2026-06-06T06:54:59.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","613b320a7cb89dbe06119ce2d3008437036d28ec2733e70ed633d61492e3af27","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-725","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-723",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
