The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 86: She has difficulty walking, so I want to help her get some embroidery work.

"Yes, our boss is on the second floor, please come this way!" The round-faced waiter was very enthusiastic. He did not frown even though they were dressed simply. He smiled and invited the two to go upstairs.

The grandmother and grandson followed her up to the second floor. The decoration of the second floor was very elegant, which once again refreshed Sheng Wanqiu's understanding of the aesthetic taste of the ancients.

Exquisite clothing and various embroidered small decorations are hung on each log-style display shelf, including large screens and small round fans and handkerchiefs. In short, each one is very exquisite.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two soon met the owner of Zhiyun Pavilion, a very dignified and beautiful woman, about forty years old, with a very gentle and generous smile.

After the young man went over and whispered a few words, the shopkeeper came over with a smile.

"Are you going to sell embroidery?"

"Hello, shopkeeper. This is embroidered by my granddaughter. Please take a look. She has difficulty walking, so I want to help her get some embroidery work."

Mrs. Sheng handed over the handkerchief in her hand. Taking on embroidery work also depends on the embroidery skills. Not everyone can take it. If the technical level is not up to standard, there is no chance. Others will also worry that you will ruin the reputation of the shop!

The female shopkeeper took the handkerchief and looked at the stitches, then held it up to the light and shadow. Her craftsmanship was barely acceptable, but the fine details were still not good enough.

Sheng Wanqiu had already left. She had no intention of interfering in Sheng Zhaodi's affairs. However, she was very interested in these round fans.

In her previous life, she traveled to an ancient town in the south and fell in love with a round silk fan. There was a cute kitten on the front and a sunset picture on the back. She asked the price and ran away.

The main reason is that she can't afford it. A fan costs tens of thousands of yuan. Is she crazy or stupid to spend so much money on a fan that can only fan air?

Although she also respected the craftsmen, the price was a bit disrespectful to her as a poor person. Anyway, she didn't deserve to own such a good thing.

Now she actually saw similar double-sided embroidered fans in this shop, each one was very exquisite. The craftsmanship of the ancients was really amazing, so she began to get excited and wanted to know the price.

She is going to be rich in gold soon, and these things should have been very common in ancient times. They shouldn't be as outrageously expensive as they are now!

"Beautiful lady, how did you buy this fan?"

Sheng Wanqiu directly repeated the words she used to greet girls in her previous life. She called all girls beautiful, even an old lady, and all boys handsome. This was a very common thing.

The round-faced boy immediately blushed like an apple. This was the first time someone called him a beauty, and he felt very happy.

"Sir, you can just call me Xiao Zi. I'm not some beautiful lady!"

"This round fan costs five taels of silver. If you buy two, you can get a discount of one tael. Two fans cost nine taels of silver!" The young man blushed as he told the price of the fan.

"I just think you're beautiful! Okay then! Xiao Zi, I'll take two!"

"Please pack this one with the butterfly and the one with the orchid at the back for me!" The price was completely beyond Sheng Wanqiu's expectations. It was such a good deal. If she didn't buy it, when would she?

"Okay, I'll help you pack it right away!" Xiao Zi's face turned even redder. When she heard Sheng Wanqiu's words, she laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared. She bared her big teeth and went to help Sheng Wanqiu pack the fan happily.

In fact, Sheng Wanqiu thought it was cheap because of her previous experience. Others did not think so. Nine taels of silver were enough for a small family to use for a year if they were frugal.

Thinking of the three people on the donkey cart, Sheng Wanqiu bought three more pieces of cloth suitable for making outerwear. For summer, choose the kind of cloth that is breathable and cool, and can absorb sweat and be breathable when worn for work.

When Sheng Wanqiu chose to pay together, the female shopkeeper of Zhiyun Pavilion looked at her several times on purpose. She really didn't understand what was going on between this old man and this child.

This person came together, and she also heard the young and beautiful girl calling the old woman "grandma".

One of them came to take the job and rushed to take the job of embroidering a handkerchief for fifteen cents, while the other one offered to pay more than ten taels without even blinking an eye. She was completely confused.

After the grandparents and grandchildren got on the donkey cart, Sheng Wanqiu took out the cloth and found out that Hui Niang could actually make clothes. She immediately gave her the task of making clothes.

When the three of them knew that the cloth was bought for them, they were so moved that they almost cried and thanked her again and again. Sheng Wanqiu immediately stopped them. She was most afraid of sentimentality, which would make her feel uncomfortable and give her goose bumps all over her body.

Sheng Wanqiu looked at her grandmother who was looking at the work in her hands with great satisfaction and smiling foolishly, and she couldn't help but curl her lips. This old lady would probably soon find out what it meant to have good intentions but end up with bad results.

Mrs. Sheng took on the job of embroidering five handkerchiefs for Sheng Zhaodi. The labor fee for each handkerchief was fifteen cents. The embroidery patterns, embroidery needles, and embroidery threads were all provided by Zhiyun Pavilion.

Sheng Xiahua learned embroidery skills from an old maid from the palace. The old maid had received help from Sheng Po before, so she was willing to teach her daughter.

Mrs. Sheng's original intention was that her younger daughter was gentle and not as lively as her elder daughter. She was the type who could sit still. After all, embroidery was a skill, and maybe she could even support herself after learning it.

Sheng Xia Hua is indeed a talented person in this area, and the things she embroiders are very spiritual. Sheng Zhaodi, on the other hand, only learned a little bit from Sheng Xia Hua, but did not put much effort into learning, so her embroidery skills are not very good.

You have to know that the money from Sheng Xia Hua's embroidery can support a family. I guess Sheng Zhaodi has a hard time supporting herself. What's more, if Liu Juan knew that she made money by embroidering, the money would never go into Sheng Zhaodi's pocket.

Liu Juan must be thinking every day about how to get more money from Sheng Zhaodi.

In addition, Sheng Zhaodi has poor legs and feet, so when she needs to pay the handkerchief in the future, she will definitely have to ask Sheng Po for help. Liu Juan might even think that Sheng Po took money from Sheng Zhaodi to help her, which will cause another chaos.

It was for this reason that Sheng Wanqiu didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. She wanted to let her grandmother know that sometimes good intentions don't necessarily lead to good results, and may even cause trouble.

When Sheng Wanqiu drove back to Qingshan Village, she had already thought of a plan on the way. If she brought the person back, the villagers would definitely make all kinds of speculations.

After all, he had only told others about the money from selling ginseng, and now he had spent it all on building a house, buying land, and buying furniture for the wedding banquet.
