The servant girl stood by and waited, and the three of them got on the kang. After a while, Feng Yun came with a teapot and a teacup.

"Hello, two aunts."

Miss Wang opened her mouth and looked at Qiao Mai in surprise.

"Sister Qiao, I haven't seen your son in two months, is he already this old?"

"Adopted."

"I see."

Miss Wang hurriedly said to Fengyun, "You are fine too."

Fengyun blushed, poured tea and left.

"The little guy is very clever,"

"He also has a twin brother, don't talk about them, drink tea to warm up first."

"Hey, it's a bit cold after sitting in the car for so long, but there is also a charcoal basin in the car."

"Let's talk about you first, there must be something wrong with you."

"It's nothing, it's just that my grandmother has a bad appetite recently, and she can't eat all the time. She wants to get something fresh from you."

"how old are you?"

"Over sixty"

"It's not easy to handle. As people get older, their digestion is not very good. It's not cold, it's not hard."

"That's it"

"Can hawthorn be eaten?"

"She doesn't eat candied haws, saying she can't chew them. It's too sour and too sweet. Grandma likes light ones."

"Then try the medicinal diet."

"Medicated food?"

"Yes, don't we have any here?"

Miss Wang shook her head, "I've never heard of it."

"It's medicine and food."

"There are others like this?"

"yes,"

"do you have?"

"Hey, I don't have either. You can ask the doctor, or the imperial doctor in the capital. The emperor's dragon body is precious, and he usually eats some medicinal food."

"Okay, then I'll ask someone to find two medicinal recipes."

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter,"

"It's okay, you are not a fairy, tell me, what do you need me to help?"

Qiao Mai unlocked the kang cabinet, took out an exquisite box and placed it in front of her.

"You open it and take a look?"

Miss Wang glanced at the two of them, opened the box and looked, her eyes straightened instantly.

"My God, such a beautiful dress?"

"You know it looks good before it unfolds?"

Miss Wang nodded, "Let me tell you, I'm a good shopper. It's hard to find just the fabric of this dress, and the workmanship and the flowers embroidered on it. If you wear it on your body, it must be beautiful. .”

Qiao Mai looked at her eyes as if they were inlaid on them, so he spoke slowly.

"This dress is left to me by my master. I want to ask you to sell it, but the premise is that no one can know that the dress is mine."

"Why?"

"Because it's just this one, I'm afraid that people will use it to threaten me and ask me to get such clothes again. I don't have the ability."

"How much are you going to sell?"

"Miss Wang is a person who knows the goods, so she should know the price?"

"It's hard to say. If you are attracted by a nobleman in the capital, not to mention a few thousand taels, tens of thousands of taels are also acceptable. If you are attracted by a villain, even a tael of silver will not be given to you."

"That's why I want to ask you to sell it for a good price."

Miss Wang looked at the clothes for a long time, "Yes, but I have a request."

"Speak."

"Get me some fresh fruit, and it has to be given to me for free, just treat it as a reward for me."

Shopkeeper Lu grinned, "Aren't you embarrassing my sister, it's already winter."

"Yes, it's just fresh fruit, not a novelty fruit. Some fruit growers know how to store fruit, and they can buy it in winter. Let me try it."

Miss Wang took out the banknotes that she and the servant girl were carrying, and counted them.

"This is a deposit of 1,300 taels. How much will I give you if the clothes are sold? How about if I don't take a cut?"

"happy!"

Qiao Mai likes her work style very much, it suits her taste very much.

"Years ago, when you came to my house, I gave you the balance and you gave me the fruit."

"It's a deal. By the way, there is one more small thing."

"Come on, it wasn't a big deal just now."

"I would like to ask Ms. Wang to help me invite a gentleman to come to my house, at least Juren."

"Teach your child?"

"And my husband."

"Is this teaching the older and the younger together?"

"Yeah, Mr. Xiang is very smart, it's a pity not to study."

"Do you have a place to live?"

"There is another room in the west wing, which can be used by the husband. Let the other party tell me how much the monthly silver is."

"Is your place too small?"

"After the new year, I go to the dental store to see if there is a big house, or buy a piece of land to build a house by myself. Isn't this waiting for the money for that dress?"

"Okay, I'll ask you when I get back, it's been a year since Mr.

"Okay, then why should I go to Fucheng to find you?"

"Before the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month."

"No problem, then it's settled."

Wang Jiaru sat with her for a while, and when she left, Qiao Mai packed twenty boxes of pancakes for her, and fried several pots of stored chestnuts, about twenty catties for her to take away.

Every time this girl came, she would never leave empty-handed, Qiao Mai knew this, so she put in a little effort.

When she arrived at the official road, she also picked up some boiled peanuts, boiled quail eggs, and even roasted sweet potatoes from the stall.

When leaving, in front of the car window, waved goodbye to them, that is a proud.

Shopkeeper Lu waited for her to leave, and said with a grin.

"This girl really can't judge people by their appearance. She looks at Mimi with a smile, but she is also a ruthless master."

Qiao Mai smiled and handed her a thousand taels of silver, "You take this silver first, and I'll share it with you after it's sold over there."

"Let's forget it. This contact belongs to you, and the things belong to you. How can I share them?"

"Okay, it's okay, I'll let you do the embroidery work, and we will share it equally. No matter what it is, Ruxin must prepare a dowry when she gets married. The man's family will treat her favorably if the dowry is rich. You two are welcome. Come on, take it now."

Shopkeeper Lu's eyes turned red, "Don't look at you being careless, you are the most careful, so the sister will put it away first."

"That's right, the screen will come out in a few days, and some can be sold, don't worry about her dowry."

"To be honest, I haven't really made much money from running this embroidery shop all these years. If I didn't own the shop and still lose money, my life has been easier since you came."

"It will get better and better in the future."

"Uh-huh"

"Why don't you raise some embroiderers and train them from an early age, so that you can take on big jobs in the future."

Shopkeeper Lu's eyes widened, "You mean you want me to buy some girls and raise them from a young age?"

"Otherwise, Ruyi is not young anymore, and she is going to marry, so I can't embroider alone. Don't raise too many, just raise two or three. If Xiuhongxiuyu is a piece of material, let Ruyi teach her to embroider. them."

Shopkeeper Lu grinned, "You agree to pass on your double-sided embroidery to others?"

"Of course, why do you have to hold this thing in your hands? Embroidery art is also about fate. Some people can't learn it no matter how hard they learn it, and some people can get it right. So don't worry that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can master it. it."

"Okay, as long as you nod, I will go to Zhang Luo after the new year. I also hope that the business of the embroidery shop will become more and more prosperous. Don't worry, I will give you a commission for all my business in the future."

"No need, these are enough for me, and the profits from the booth are enough to support my family."

"No, I have to give it to you. Without you, I wouldn't be here now. You deserve it."

"It's up to you, I can't push it back and forth. Besides, I thought of a few new ways to weave the net, and I'll teach it to Ruxin and Ruyi later."

"Hey, that's great. You don't know, the competition between the embroidery shop and the embroidery shop is very fierce. If I didn't rely on some good sisters to support me, this shop would have been ruined by now."

"Isn't it me? Let's work together to make the business of this shop more and more prosperous."

"Hmm, it's getting hotter and hotter"

Shopkeeper Lu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and when he was with Qiao Mai, she always encouraged you, making you involuntarily want to do a good job and grow the business.

It is said that when Miss Wang returned to the palace, she ordered people to send all the things she brought to her yard as soon as she got out of the car.
