Mu Yunyao was not polite either, but after five or six consecutive days of sending her off, she stopped her and gave her a tael of silver. Seeing that Yang's face changed, she quickly said:
"Auntie, I know that you don't give us meals for money, but we can't eat and drink for free. Besides, even if you want to, and Uncle Yang, no one's life is easy, and you can't let you go to work and work again. money."
"You girl, well, since that's the case, then I'll use this money to buy some delicious food for you two, and take care of your body. It's really heart-wrenching to see you all weak."
"Okay, thank you auntie. By the way, I have some silk threads here. Some of them are split and broken. Some of them have endless colors. They have been sorted out. Auntie is free. How about I teach you to embroider two stitches?"
"I can't learn your craft." Yang hurriedly refused, she really couldn't learn it.
"There are many embroidery techniques. The one I use is too complicated, but it is also a little simple. My aunt is very careful, so I can definitely learn it. I can embroider some handkerchiefs during the slack season, and I can sell them. Money to subsidize the family."
"Can I do it?" Mrs Yang was really at a loss.
Mu Yunyao smiled and nodded: "It's definitely possible." Yang's family is very sincere to her and her mother, and she has this kindness in her heart.
After taking some time to teach Yang some simple flat embroidery stitches, Mu Yunyao drew patterns for Yang to practice. Although Mr. Yang can't draw inferences from one case, he is very serious about the needle. Because of the fresh pattern, the finished product is also very good.
Yang's heart was very happy, and when someone went to Yancheng to catch a big market, he went with a handkerchief, not to mention, the shopkeeper of Xiuchunfang looked at it and thought it was good, and bought it for twenty cents a piece. , and told her that the Spring Embroidery Workshop could give her handkerchief cloth and silk thread, so that she was only responsible for embroidering, and each embroidered piece was five cents.
When Mr. Yang came back and talked to Mu Yunyao, Mu Yunyao knew that the shopkeeper had the intention to sell it well: "My aunt's craftsmanship is worth the price."
Yang's heart is grateful, you must know that whoever has a livelihood now is holding it hard, for fear that others will learn it, but Mu Yunyao has carefully taught her. This handkerchief is only embroidered with flowers on the corners, and the pattern is not large. If you are fast, you can embroider several of them a day, and the money is too easy to earn.
On this day, Mu Yunyao looked at the pictures of mountains and rivers that had begun to take shape in her hands, carefully rolled up the embroidered cloth, wrapped it in a plain white towel, and was still accompanied by Su Qing and the Yang family into the city.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Chunxiu Square, the shopkeeper greeted them and invited people to the tea room upstairs: "Miss Mu is here, but what is missing?" He said, but his eyes stared at Yang's and Su Qing's embrace. Embroidered cloth.
Hearing him name his surname, Mu Yunyao was not too surprised, but he was surprised that he didn't investigate himself: "I think about it, but I still think the shopkeeper's statement is reasonable. It's been too long, it's better to use what the shopkeeper provides, but I don't know what the price is for the shopkeeper?"
"It depends on the girl's craftsmanship? The price of embroidery has always been variable. If you like it, you will be charged with tens of hundreds of taels. If you don't like it, two cents will be too expensive." The shopkeeper said After finishing, looking at Mu Yunyao's expression carefully, she wanted to see a trace of nervousness on her face, but found that the little girl in front of her was calmer than him, who had experienced strong winds and waves.
"I used embroidery thread to roughly embroider an outline. The shopkeeper can use his palms and eyes first." She wanted to catch big fish.
The embroidered cloth was slowly unfolded, and the shopkeeper kept his eyes fixed. After a blank space, a little crisp color came into view, followed by the mountains and mountains, and the cangxiu and ancient buildings were unfolding in front of them. Just a glance made people feel that they were majestic. Especially at the end of the picture scroll, a little vermilion jumps up, the red sun rises, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, which is amazing.
He admired for a long time, and then took a closer look: "It's unbelievable, such a picture was actually embroidered stitch by stitch."
Mu Yunyao smiled slightly and helped Yang Shi and Su Qing turn the embroidered cloth over.
The shopkeeper just glanced at it, then widened his eyes and froze in place: "This... This is... "
But Mu Yunyao slowly put away the embroidered cloth: "Shopkeeper, how much money do you think such an embroidery is worth?"
"This..." It took a while for the shopkeeper to regain his senses. Hearing this, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. From this embroidery, it can be seen that this woman has extraordinary knowledge. If the asking price is low, I am afraid that she will just turn around and leave. After all, this is a gift. Things to enter in Kyoto…
Wait, the shopkeeper suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Yunyao with stern eyes: "Miss Mu seems to be very well informed."
The back of this embroidered piece of splendid mountains and rivers turned out to be a pattern of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness! There is only one family in the world who can use this pattern, the emperor of the dynasty!
How can a village girl know that he wants to send this embroidery to Kyoto, so that the adult can be used as a candidate for the emperor's birthday gift? Or, what she said about being filial to her father was false
"I didn't know about it originally, but someone found me and said that they wanted to buy the embroidery in my hands. I promised the shopkeeper first, but of course I wouldn't sell it. The man said something, and I even guessed, and roughly guessed it. I am grateful for the trust of the shopkeeper, so I changed my advice to double-sided embroidery. I don't know if there is something wrong with making my own decisions like this?" Mu Yunyao said, showing a nervous and excited look.
But the guard in the shopkeeper's heart did not disappear much: "Who is looking for you?"
"I don't know either. I just heard that when they left, someone called Boss Tan."
Tan? The surnamed Tan, who is so concerned about his whereabouts, is only the old enemy Caiyuege!
It's no wonder that the shopkeeper of Caiyue Pavilion was not yin or yang when he saw him in the past two days.
The shopkeeper was angry, and then quickly restrained: "Miss Mu, I am willing to give this number to this embroidery?" Such an embroidery, people can't take their eyes away from it, he will buy it no matter what! There are also people above Caiyue Pavilion. If they are robbed first, then his crime will be beaten. Saying that, stretched out a finger.
Mu Yunyao groaned in her heart, she had thrown out Boss Tan, and the shopkeeper didn't give up trying to test her, since that's the case, don't blame her for opening her mouth: "One hundred thousand taels? The shopkeeper is really a real person. "
The shopkeeper choked, one hundred thousand taels, and the girl was really embarrassed to say: "Miss Mu, how can there be one hundred thousand taels of embroidery in this world?"
"That Boss Tan, he said my embroidery is priceless."
"Girl, I am willing to pay a thousand taels..."
Mu Yunyao stood up directly: "The shopkeeper, how much the silk thread and embroidery cloth you gave, I'll give it to you, this embroidery is no longer for sale."
"Hey, girl, the price is easy to say, and it's negotiable to ask for the price and repay the money on the spot." The shopkeeper hurriedly reassured.
