Chapter 121 Suzhou Embroidery



Chapter 121 Suzhou Embroidery

"Two hundred taels?" Mrs. Zhou nodded with a smile, and seemed very satisfied with the price.

Wanniang smiled and shook her head, then explained to her that this embroidery not only had a good meaning, but also had excellent embroidery skills:

"Madam Zhou, this embroidery is two thousand taels, it is absolutely worth the money. If it were brought to the capital, it would be worth more than this price. You know I am not in a hurry to sell it."

What Wanniang said was so logical and confident that Liu and Yueniang, who were standing by, were stunned.

In fact, Qu Jingyao has always admired Wanniang. She is really good at doing business.

Mrs. Zhou lowered her eyes and thought, stroking the embroidery with her hands. She really liked it, but it was really expensive!

The little maid whispered softly in her ear, but it did not escape the ears of Qu Jingyao and Bai Guo.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly:

"Mrs. Zhou, this is the most suitable gift for the elders in your family. It will definitely please them."

Qu Jingyao had heard something about the Zhou family. She had heard gossip before that Madam Zhou's mother-in-law favored the second wife...

When Mrs. Zhou heard what Qu Jingyao said, she gritted her teeth and bought the embroidery.

"Okay, Madam, please help me wrap it up."

"Okay! No problem."

Wanniang happily helped Madam Zhou wrap up the embroidery and handed it to the maid beside her.

"Thank you very much, Madam. Hongye will pay the money."

When Mrs. Zhou was about to leave, Qu Jingyao stopped her with a smile.

"It's fate that Madam Zhou is attracted to our embroidery. This handkerchief is also made of Suzhou embroidery. I'm giving it to Madam Zhou. I hope you can promote it."

Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows and praised her for her business skills.

"Oh, isn't this orchid exactly what Madam likes?"

The little maidservant beside Madam Zhou looked at the orchid embroidered on the handkerchief in surprise.

Qu Jingyao smiled and exchanged a few words with her before sending the guest away.

Wanniang reached out and touched Qu Jingyao's forehead and said:

"You clever bastard! Madam Zhou is the wife of the eldest master of the Zhou family, a wealthy family in town. It's just that she doesn't like the old lady."

Listening to Wanniang, she really made the right bet.

"Mrs. Zhou often entertains some of the town's wealthy families. You'd better work harder this time when you go back. The business will be good in the future."

After Wanniang said this, Qu Jingyao had a better idea in her mind. She discussed her idea with Wanniang. She didn't want to sell the Suzhou embroidery and Sichuan embroidery too cheaply, as these things are valuable because they are rare.

"That's right, don't worry."

"Sister, I'll leave these to you. I'll be going back first. If you need anything, please go to the Qu Residence near Qing Academy. I'll tell the servants to let you know."

Qu Jingyao explained everything to her before leaving with peace of mind.

The mother and daughter walked straight through the market towards the house.

The market was bustling with people, and the sounds of many vendors hawking their wares were mixed in.

"Baiguo, go buy some cakes."

"Okay, Master, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."

Baiguo walked straight to the pastry shop opposite, while Qu Jingyao took her mother and stood aside waiting.

"Sister-in-law, Ruyang City is really lively."

"Yes! I seldom came here before, but I didn't expect this market to be so lively."

The two sisters-in-law of the Liu family started chatting.

Qu Jingyao came to a small stall where various types of jade were piled up, but the quality was not very good, and some were just scraps.

"Boss, how much are these jades for?" Qu Jingyao bent over to pick them out.

When the hawker saw a customer coming, he immediately started introducing the food with a smile on his face.

"Miss, these are all top-quality jades. Which one do you like? I'll give it to you at a lower price."

Qu Jingyao glanced at him, and continued to pick with a half-curled smile on her lips.

"What if I want all these bigger ones?"

"Miss, what you said is true. Don't try to make fun of me. These are not cheap. You see, the big one costs five taels of silver, and these pieces here cost three taels of silver."

The vendor's face was all smiles at this time. He actively introduced the jade to her and kept bragging about how good his jade was.

Qu Jingyao raised her eyes and raised her red lips slightly: "Boss, these are not top-grade. They are neither watery nor pure. They are two taels of silver each."

"Miss, do you understand? I..." Before the peddler could finish his words, Qu Jingyao picked up the jade pendant from her waist and shook it twice in front of him.

The vendor immediately stopped talking after seeing this, and muttered for a long time, not knowing how to refute: "Girl, you see, this is just a small business, and I can't afford to lose money, right?"

Qu Jingyao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and turned to leave. When the vendor behind her saw her, a look of surprise flashed across his face and he quickly called her to stop.

"Please wait, miss. Please wait. Two taels is two taels. Do you really want all of it?"

Qu Jingyao's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at him with a half-smile: "I only want the big ones."

The vendor looked at the jade on the stall and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

This is Baiguo coming back with the pastries.

"Baiguo, pay the money, take the things and let's go back."

She turned and came to her mother and aunt, who asked her in confusion why she wanted to buy those jade stones, as they didn't look very good in quality.

"If I buy these back, I can increase their value several times."

After he finished speaking, Bai Guo returned to her with the things in his hand.

"Master, you can go now."

"Let's go, Xiaochen and the others should take a lunch break."

The master and servant took Liu and Yue Niang and walked straight through the crowd towards Qing Academy.

They didn't know that during the lunch break at the academy, the two brothers were about to return to the house, but were picked on by Qu Shushan for no reason.

He heard that these two little brats were the younger brothers of the bitch Qu Jingyao, and that they were even picked up and dropped off by servants every day.

Why should she, the Liu family member who was expelled from the clan, live better than him?

At this time, Qu Shusheng was blinded by jealousy.

"What did you do? Why did you hit my brother?" Xiaochen accused Qu Shusheng angrily.

He glanced at them with disdain and snorted, "Don't be the first to complain. I'm too lazy to bother with you."

As he was speaking, Qu Shushan was called away by other students.

"Brother, he did it on purpose."

"I know. Let's go back first. There are still many days to come." Xiaoyang raised the corner of his lips in a cold smile and looked at Qu Shusheng's departing back.

Xiao Chen's face was filled with rage as he said angrily, "Just wait and see."

Xiaoyang comforted his brother and the two brothers walked out of the academy.

Qu Jingyao and others arrived at the house early.

"The master is here."

Uncle Liang opened the door and saw the person coming, and he bowed quickly.

"Uncle Liang, call everyone to the front hall so I can introduce the other masters of the family."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The two sisters-in-law of the Liu family looked around the house in front of them.

"Yaoyao, this house is worth a lot of money, right?"

Yue Niang pulled Liu's arm, her eyes widened unconsciously, her eyes full of surprise, and she looked around.
