Mu Yunyao wasn't courteous and instead called her back after being continuously sent for five or six days. She gave her a tael of silver. When she saw the Yang family's expression change, she hurriedly opened her mouth and said,
"Aunt, I know that you didn't give us food for free, but we can't waste it. Besides, even if you are willing, and there's also Uncle Yang, we don't have a good family. We can't let you work and spend money."
"Little girl, since it's like this, then I'll use this silver to buy you two some delicious food to recuperate your bodies. Seeing how weak you are, it really makes one's heart ache."
"Well, thank you very much, Aunt. "Oh right, I have some threads here. Some of them are broken and some are inexhaustible. I've already sorted them out. Since aunty has nothing to do, how about I teach you how to embroider two needles?"
"I can't learn your skills." She really couldn't learn it.
"There are a lot of embroidery techniques. The one I used was too complicated, but there were also some that were very simple. Aunt was very meticulous and would have definitely learned them. I can take advantage of the leisure time in the village to embroider some handkerchief."
"Can I do it?" The Yang family really didn't feel reassured.
Mu Yunyao smiled as she nodded, "It's definitely possible." Mistress Yang was very sincere to her and her mother, this favor was hidden in her heart.
After taking some time to teach the Yang family some simple embroidery techniques, Mu Yunyao drew some patterns for them to practice. Although the Yang family didn't care much about it, they were very serious about the acupuncture. Because the pattern was fresh, the finished product was not bad.
She took advantage of the time that someone was visiting Yan City to catch up on the big market to bring along the handkerchief. Not to mention, the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop found this to be quite good and spent twenty yuan to buy them one at a time. He also told her that the embroidery workshop could give her a handkerchief and silk threads.
When Mistress Yang came back to speak with Mu Yunyao, Mu Yunyao knew that the shopkeeper had the intention to sell them well. "Aunt's culinary arts are worth this price."
Mistress Yang felt gratitude in her heart. It must be known that whoever had a livelihood to earn money held onto it with all their might, afraid that others would learn it. Yet, Mu Yunyao had taught her meticulously. The handkerchief was embroidered on the corner, but the patterns weren't too big. If it was fast, he could embroider quite a few each day. This silver was too easy to earn.
On this day, Mu Yunyao looked at the painting in her hands. She carefully rolled up the embroidered cloth and wrapped it with a pure white cloth. Then, Su Qing and the Yang family followed her into the city.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Spring Embroidery Workshop, the shopkeeper came out to welcome him and invite him to the tea room upstairs. "Miss Mu, you've come. What are you missing?" As he spoke, his gaze was fixated on the embroidered cloth carried by the Yang family and Su Qing.
It was only because he didn't investigate her that he felt it was strange, "I think over and over again, but I still feel that storekeeper's argument is reasonable. I have to rely on my own money to buy the silk embroidery Mountain and River Diagram and spend too much time.
"This will depend on the skills of the girl. The price of an embroidery item has always been very variable. If one meets someone who likes it, it would be possible for it to be worth a few hundred taels of silver. If one meets someone who doesn't like it, it would be considered expensive. " After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he carefully looked at Mu Yunyao's expression. He wanted to see a trace of nervousness on her face, but he noticed that the little girl in front of him was even calmer than someone like him who had experienced many storms and waves.
"I used the embroidery thread and roughly embroidered the outline. The shopkeeper can use the palm and eye techniques first." She wanted to catch a big fish. If she wasn't careful, the thin fishing line in her hand wouldn't be able to catch it.
The embroidered cloth slowly spread out and the shopkeeper stared fixedly at it. After a moment of blankness, a hint of a crisp color appeared before his eyes. Especially towards the end of the painting, a point of vermilion light shone. The sun rose high in the sky, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful, causing people to be amazed.
He praised for a while before carefully looking closer. "This is unbelievable. This kind of painting is actually stitched together."
Mu Yunyao smiled slightly and helped Yang Shi and Su Qing turn over the embroidered cloth.
The shopkeeper only took a glance before his eyes widened. He was stunned on the spot: "This … "This is …"
Mu Yunyao slowly put away the embroidered cloth. "Shopkeeper, how much do you think such an embroidery is worth?"
"This …" The shopkeeper took a while to recover his wits, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help but hesitate. From this piece of embroidery, one could see that this woman had extraordinary experience.
Wait, the shopkeeper suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Yunyao with a cold gaze. "Miss Mu seems to be extremely well-informed."
On the back of the embroidery, there was actually a design of a dragon and a phoenix! There was only one place in this world that could use this pattern, the king of the dynasty, the Son of Heaven!
How could a village girl know that he wanted to send this piece of embroidery into the capital and make that lord his choice as an Emperor's birthday present? Or could it be that what she said about being filial piety was false?
"Originally, I didn't know, but someone found me and said that they wanted to buy the embroidery item in my hand. I promised the shopkeeper that I wouldn't sell it, so that person said something which I guessed roughly …" I thank the shopkeeper for his trust, so my good idea has been changed to double-sided embroidery. As Mu Yunyao spoke, she revealed a nervous and excited expression.
The storekeeper's guard did not drop much. "Who was the person looking for you?"
"I'm not too sure either. I just heard someone call him Boss Tan when they left."
Tan? His surname was Tan, and the only one who was still so concerned about his whereabouts was their old rival, the Rainbow Moon Pavilion!
No wonder when the manager of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion saw him these past two days, he didn't seem to be in a bad mood. It turned out that he also had his eyes on the item in this girl's hand.
The shopkeeper was angered before he quickly restrained himself. "Miss Mu, am I willing to give this number for this piece of embroidery?" Such an embroidery item was something that others couldn't tear their eyes away from. No matter what, he had to buy it! There were people on the side of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, so if they were the ones to go first, then he would have to beat them for his crimes. As he spoke, he extended a finger.
Mu Yunyao's heart sank. She had already thrown Boss Tan out, but this shopkeeper still hadn't given up on testing her. Since that's the case, then don't blame her for opening her mouth wide: "A hundred thousand taels? The shopkeeper is really honest. "
The shopkeeper was speechless. "A hundred thousand taels? Does this girl really have the nerve to speak up? Miss Mu, how can one of the world's embroidery items be that easily sold for a hundred thousand taels?"
"That Boss Tan, he said my embroidery is priceless."
"Young lady, I'm willing to pay a thousand silver …"
Mu Yunyao directly stood up. "Shopkeeper, how much did you give me for the silk and cloth? I'll give it to you. I'm not selling this piece of cloth."
"Ah, young lady, the price is negotiable. The sky-high price is to be paid on the spot, it can be negotiated." The manager hurriedly comforted him.
