Hearing what Madam Xu said, Madam Yuan was stunned.

Although she grew up with Madam Xu for so many years, she was not very clear about how Madam Xu studied and persisted in the Yang family.

Hearing what she said about double-sided embroidery inspiring her, she couldn't help but admire her good friend deeply.

Not only Mrs. Yuan, but Dong Xiangyu was also shocked.

At the beginning, she just became familiar with Madam Yang through a few interactions, so she casually gave Madam Yang a double-sided embroidery.

Who could have thought that this double-sided embroidery would bring such motivation to Mrs. Yang’s daughter?

"Yaqin, right? If you liked double-sided embroidery so much, you could have come to me directly and I would have given you an extra pair."

Dong Xiangyu herself loved embroidery very much. Seeing a younger generation like her, who was so serious about embroidery and loved her own embroidery works so much, she felt indescribable.

I felt a little emotional and touched. Suddenly I felt that I had been embroidering for most of my life, and it seemed very meaningful.

"I didn't bring much with me today. So, if you have time next time, come to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion and I will pick out a better embroidery for you."

Mrs. Xu was so surprised that her mouth opened wide. She didn't expect that the embroidery master Dong Xiangyu would tell her that she would send her some embroidery!

Moreover, I want to give her a better embroidery than the one I gave her mother!

Oh my god, this trip was really not in vain!

"Madam Hou, I, I am so grateful to you. I don't know what to say!" Madam Xu hurriedly thanked her.

Dong Xiangyu smiled and waved her hand: "It's fate."

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi smiled and explained, "Madam Xu, the embroidered handkerchiefs you mentioned just now are the ones sold outside our shop?"

"Those handkerchiefs were designed by my sister-in-law Qingqing, and embroidered by my sister Yunle herself."

Madam Xu was surprised. Madam Lu's sister embroidered this handkerchief herself? How come her sister's embroidery was similar to the craftsmanship of the wife of Marquis Yongchang?

"Yun Le, that girl, learned embroidery from me for a while, so her needlework skills are somewhat similar to mine."

As soon as Dong Xiangyu spoke, Gu Yunle pulled Lu Qingqing along and walked into the backyard.

Dong Xiangyu smiled and pointed at the two people, saying, "Look, this is Qingqing girl and Yunle girl."

Madam Xu was very surprised. She didn't expect that Dong Xiangyu, who had said that she would never accept disciples in her life, would be willing to teach people embroidery skills.

Yunle, this little girl, was born with red lips and white teeth. Madam Xu liked her very much. She smiled and said to Gu Yunle and Lu Qingqing: "Both girls are pretty."

"I came out in a hurry and didn't prepare anything, so I'll give each of you one of these bracelets."

As she spoke, Madam Xu took off a pair of bracelets from her wrists, and affectionately took Gu Yunle and Lu Qingqing's hands, each holding one, and put the bracelets on.

Gu Yunle and Lu Qingqing were both stunned. They didn't know what was going on and stared blankly at Dong Xiangyu and Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi introduced with a smile: "Yunle, Qingqing, this is the wife of the Minister of Revenue, Lord Xu. You can just call her Madam Xu."

"Since this is Mrs. Xu's kindness, you should accept it." Dong Xiangyu spoke slowly.

Seeing that Gu Yunxi and Dong Xiangyu had no objection, and that He Feng, who was standing nearby, was also smiling, Gu Yunle and Lu Qingqing accepted the bracelets.

"Yun Le thanks Madam Xu!"

"Qingqing thanks Madam Xu!"

Madam Xu smiled and waved her hand, appearing even more friendly, and said, "If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Xu from now on."

Gu Yunxi was slightly surprised, and so were Gu Yunle and Lu Qingqing.

He Feng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, since Madam Xu has said so, then let's call her that from now on."

Although Madam Xu seemed to be very opinionated, she did not give people a strong impression.

Besides, she is a good friend of Mrs. Yuan. They grew up together and know each other's personalities well.

At this time, Mrs. Xu had already spoken and asked the children to call her aunt, so naturally there was no need for the family members to be polite.

Call her Aunt Xu, and you won’t suffer any harm in the future.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the Lu family will be staying in Beijing.

In the past, the Lu family couldn't even enter the door of a wealthy family like Minister Xu's, let alone call Minister Xu's wife "Aunt".

Seeing this, Gu Yunle and Lu Qingqing smiled and called out, "Aunt Xu."

Madam Xu laughed heartily and said, "Ah, it's better to be a girl. I only have a few boys at home, and they make a fuss all day long, which gives me a headache."

"Girls are so soft and tender, and it makes people happy just by looking at them. It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, otherwise she would be about the same age as you."

Minister Xu has been married to Madam Xu for many years, but they only have three sons and not even a concubine.

Therefore, Minister Xu and Minister Yuan had a very good relationship, and they often made appointments to play together and discuss state affairs.

He Feng smiled and said, "Whether it's a girl or a boy, as long as they are well educated, they are all my children and will be filial to me in the future."

"Yes, yes, that's indeed the case..." Mrs. Xu couldn't help but nodded.

However, she really envied others for having daughters, because daughters are so caring!

It's a pity that she gave birth to three sons, and her good friend Mrs. Yuan also gave birth to sons. Both of them had no daughters. Whenever they saw pretty girls from other families, they couldn't help but envy them.

"Yunle, Qingqing, if you have time, come and play at Aunt Xu's house!" Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

Gu Yunle and Lu Qingqing agreed with blushing faces.

However, Lu Qingqing's wedding date is approaching. In addition to drawing patterns for the embroidery shop, she also has to embroider her own wedding dress in her free time. She probably doesn't have much time to come out.

However, Mrs. Yuan knew all this, but Mrs. Xu might not know it, so it was not easy to say it out now.

In the backyard of the embroidery shop, everyone was eating fruits and talking and laughing...

Time passed quickly. Gu Yunxi sat with them for a stick of incense. Seeing that more and more customers came to the embroidery shop outside, she stood up and left the backyard, going to the front to help entertain the guests.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu was reluctant to leave, as she wanted to communicate more with Dong Xiangyu.

However, she also understood at this time that even though she and her good friend Mrs. Yuan came here, they could not disturb the Lu family for too long, otherwise it would delay their business.

"Ashu, how about we go and see if there is anything else we need to buy?" Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

Madam Yuan reacted immediately, and she also stood up and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go and take a look!"

After saying that, the two of them walked towards the embroidery shop.
