Chapter 33

Even if it doesn't happen, there are a lot of people on the road. In this era, except for some big families, ordinary small families can't help their girls to go out, so there are many big girls and little wives on the road.

Because the things she wanted to buy coincided with each other, Mrs. Lin decided to go back together with her uncle and aunt later to have a company.

The embroidery shop where Lin's mother is going is just next to the cloth shop. Her aunt takes her daughter to see the cloth first, and then comes to find them after Lin's mother has sold her purse.

The scale of this embroidery shop is the largest in the town. It is the size of two shops, two floors up and down. The wooden sign of Liu's embroidery shop is hanging at the door.

Stepping into the door, Lin's mother called to a young woman who was working on an abacus behind the counter, "Lady Liu."

The woman raised her head and saw that it was Lin's mother with a smile on her face. "Oh, it's Lin's aunt. You haven't been here for a long time? Who's next? "

Lin Mu said with a smile, "this is my daughter. Just call her leisurely." Then he said to leisurely, "this is the landlady of Liuji embroidery village. Please call sister Liu."

Leisurely came forward to see "Sister Liu is good."

Liu Niangzi hurriedly replied, "is this the leisurely sister who came back from the capital Marquis's residence? Tut Tut, I'm sure I'm from a wealthy family. I can't compare with that in Baishan town. "

"Well, don't praise her. I'm here for business today. Look, I embroidered all these this month. " With that, mother Lin put the burden in her hand on the counter, opened it, and then pushed it to lady Liu's side.

Liu Niangzi said as she looked at it, "Auntie Lin's craftsmanship is good. No wonder she can teach a scholar. All the embroidery work has the fragrance of books, which is more elegant than others. This is your ancestral skill. I think your niece Xiuyun has six or seven points of your skill. "

Lin's mother said with a smile, "yes, Xiuyun is more talented than me. Both of our female workers are taught by my mother, but she has only taught Xiuyun Kung Fu for three or four years. If she had been teaching until now, I'm afraid that child would have surpassed me. "

Liu Niangzi said, "you are really joking. Xiuyun still lacks some experience, and this year's talent still can't catch up with you."

Lin's mother said with a smile, "what if you surpass me? It's all my own children. Am I jealous of her? However, her skill is far worse than that of my daughter. Come, leisurely, and show your sister-in-law what you have done. "

Leisurely in accordance with the words of his hand carrying a small burden on the counter to open. Leisurely doesn't bring much embroidery work. It's just the handkerchief she embroidered two days ago and some pockets she practiced hand embroidery in Shenfu. Today, she brings these to see how much they can sell. Can she realize her idea of relying on needlework to support herself?

Although there were only a few pieces of embroidery, lady Liu still looked at them for a long time. She put down her purse and said, "Oh, it's true that real people don't show their faces. I'm afraid this kind of craft is also top-notch in the capital. I'm not willing to sell it. Aunt Lin really has a good daughter. Well, my aunt's embroidery work is at the same price as before, with a purse of 50 Wen and a handkerchief of 30 Wen. The small Kang screen is only three liang of silver, and the total is four thousand and six hundred Wen. " Lin's mother can sell embroidery every month, or she can't save more than 30 taels of silver to redeem her daughter after giving up a scholar. In this era, it is very expensive for a scholar.

Liu Niang Zi thought for a moment and said, "leisurely, this handkerchief is eight gondolas, and the purse is two gondolas. How about twenty taels of silver in all?" Even if you can't exchange twenty taels of silver for twenty taels, it's almost the same. At this time, five Liang silver is enough for a family of three to live a fat year. Lin's mother didn't expect that her daughter's work was so valuable. Seeing that her daughter didn't object, she went back to "Lady Liu has always been a bright person, so that's it."

Liu Niangzi saw Lin's mother and daughter behave generously, leisurely and leisurely. She was not moved to hear that the embroidery had been sold for so much money. She thought that she had come out of a wealthy family. Look at the calmness of the family. She was eager to win over the outstanding craftsman leisurely. She did not mean to calculate the price difference between copper and silver. She gave twenty-four liang of silver and six hundred Wen of copper directly. At this time, ordinary people use copper money. Although it is generally said that a crane of money can be exchanged for one or two silver, in fact, it often takes a crane of tens of Wen to exchange for one or two silver. This is still in peace and prosperity. In case of famine and war, one or two silver coins can be exchanged for a hanging of copper coins with one or two hundred pennies. After all, silver is lighter to carry.

In this small town, such a large amount of silver is enough. Liu's money is generally on the goods. Liu Niang Zi even used her private money, but she was not a fool. She made a small screen with a nice frame and sent it to Fucheng. She could earn at least ten liang of silver.

Lin's mother shoves the twenty taels of silver ingot directly to you ran. You ran sees that there are other people in the shop, so she doesn't give in too much. I just want to give it to Lin Mu after I go back.

Leisurely did not rush to collect money, but in the shop to choose some of the best embroidery. Liu Niangzi took a look at the embroidery thread she chose. It was only a few tens of Wen in total, and she said generously, "it's not worth much money, so I'll give it to my sister. As long as my sister sells it to me after she embroiders."

Leisurely declined a time, see Liu Niang son to insist on so then all right. She also knew in her heart that the price given by Lady Liu must have a large profit margin, otherwise she would not be so generous. Before leaving, leisurely said to lady Liu, "leisurely, I'd like to ask my sister-in-law to agree."

Lady Liu was a little surprised. "What's the matter? Leisurely sister, you said

Leisurely way "I sent today embroidery income silver also please Liu sister-in-law confidentiality, leisurely do not want to cause unnecessary trouble."

On hearing this, lady Liu admired leisurely even more. She said solemnly, "sister, don't worry. Even if you don't ask me, I won't tell you. If it's known by peers, you don't have many people to raise the price with me? Then I'll lose a lot. "

The mother and daughter of the Lin family laughed.

After the mother and daughter left, they came to the Chenji cloth shop next door.

In the cloth shop, Auntie and Yulian are facing a light red cloth with lotus pattern and a light green cloth with broken flowers. They are in a dilemma. Seeing leisurely mother and daughter coming, the aunt said, "come on, let's see which of the two pieces of cloth looks better. Our mother has been making a fuss, but we haven't chosen it for a long time."

Lin's mother thought for a moment and then said, "the jade lotus is white and clean. It looks good in any color. But since it's a happy event, it's time to dress up brightly. "

Auntie nodded, "that's the truth, shopkeeper. Let's pull a piece of this material."

Next, Lin Mu wants to pick the light green cloth with broken flowers for you, but she refuses. She chose a plain cloth of light purple and light blue. In fact, the quality of the cloth she brought back is better than these, but it's too eye-catching to wear in the village.

Although the fabrics leisurely picked are not patterned, they are all fine cotton, which is much more expensive than the one my aunt bought for Yulian. Two pieces of cloth cost 300 Wen, but Lin's mother did not hesitate to pay the copper.

Seeing this, my aunt could not help but smack her tongue. This younger sister-in-law really gave up money. It seems that her embroidery work earned a lot of money.

If she knew the price of leisurely embroidery, she would be even more surprised.
