C41

Qin Taohua pouted unhappily, "Mother, I'll be seven years old after the new year. I won't be kidnapped when I grow up."

Mu Rousang speechlessly looked at the sky, waved her hand and pulled her up onto the donkey cart. She first sent Aunt Qin to the market, and after all, it was still a busy city so busy that Qin Er couldn't even close his mouth, "This market is really lively, it's a county city after all!"

After calculating how long it would take for these items to be sold, the group found a place to pay the entrance fee and the tea fee.

Mu Rousang watched from the side for a long time before finally understanding that the so called tea fee was the protection fee. She also followed him to the ground without saying a word and started to pay.

"Second Aunt, can you stay here by yourself?" Mu Rousang was a little worried. Everyone was unfamiliar with the city, what if there was any trouble ?

Qin Er waved his hand, "You guys go ahead, leave this place to me. If anything goes wrong, Rou Sang, you don't have to worry about it. It's not just one or two times that the Second Aunt sells eggs."

Mu Rousang thought that it was true, after Second Uncle Qin and the others got on the donkey cart and repeatedly reminded Qin Er to definitely wait for them to return, they finally brought the little donkey cart out of the market.

Mu Rousang sat in the carriage and called out to Second Uncle Qin, "Second Uncle, I need to go to Embroidery, where are you planning to go?" The last few words she said was actually towards Mu Jinzhi.

He turned around and smiled at his sister, "Take me to the bookstore first. There's a bookstore in the middle of the street, it looks exactly the same as our town's signboard."

Mu Rousang nodded her head, "Then I will first send big brother to the library, I want to make a trip to Embroidery to sell the embroidery work I made." It wasn't easy to hide in the space to embroider a few more, no matter what you had to earn back this time's expenses.

"Peach Blossom, come with me to the Embroidery!" When Mu Jinzhi went to pick up the books, she was afraid that the peach blossoms would affect him.

Qin Taohua originally wanted to follow behind Mu Jinzhi, but Second Uncle Qin had already made a decision for her, "Peach Blossom, follow Rou Sang to the Embroidery. Your mother had previously told you to meet the embroidery activities in the Embroidery, don't look up and peek at the top of your head."

He was afraid that Qin Taohua would be too proud, so it would be difficult for him to beat up her own daughter for the Qin Er.

Qin Taohua pouted her lips and said unhappily, "Father, how could I! I've always tried to learn embroidery, right, right! "

Mu Rousang had a headache. Looking at her pair of little claws, she said, "Yes, yes. Peach Blossom is now embroidered even better than before."

Under Qin Taohua's teasing, the donkey cart sent Mu Jinzhi to the library first, then turned around and went to the Embroidery on another street. It was said that the embroidery activities there were the best selling and the most flourishing.

The reason why Mu Rousang went there was to see how good her embroidery skills were. In the past, she was only comparable to the people in the surrounding villages.

Very quickly, Second Uncle Qin brought the two of them to the entrance of Embroidery. Seeing that it was filled with women, he felt too embarrassed to go in, so he squatted down not far from the door while guarding the donkey cart to smoke, "Peach Blossom, you and Rou Sang can go in!"

Mu Rousang carried a small basket out from the carriage. Inside the basket were a few embroidered items, which were all the lucky kids suitable for the New Year.

No one bothered with the two little fellows entering Embroidery, as everyone thought that the two little fellows had entered out of curiosity to take a look at something new.

Mu Rousang did not say a word, and pulled Qin Taohua to look around, the peach blossoms were envious of the embroidery, "It's really beautiful, just like real. Rou Sang, will I be able to embroider so well in the future?"

Mu Rousang took a careful look at the newcomers, and saw that they were dressed in a pink plum blossom dress with light blue petals, and wore a silver brocade hibiscus dress with golden threads embroidered on it. Ling Yun was wearing a simple bun with two butterflies in golden steps, and had the same colored belt around his waist.

Her gentle voice was as soft as the wind, "Little girl, where are your parents?" Boss Zhou's mother was a woman who knew how to do business, and he would never bully people just because of his clothes. This was one of the reasons why her business was booming.

Qin Taohua shrank her shoulders and hid behind Mu Rousang, her small hands tightly grabbing onto Mu Rousang's sleeves, the aura from this woman's body made her feel fear.

Mu Rousang was alarmed, she smiled and revealed a mouthful of glutinous rice teeth, "This sister, our father is smoking outside!" She was clearly wearing a woman's bun, so she opened her eyes slightly and lied.

Boss Zhou covered his mouth with his kerchief and laughed. This girl had a sweet mouth, "Little girl, do you think calling me boss looks good?"

The weather was cold yet again. It was the middle of the afternoon and no customer came to the shop either. Seeing this pink and tender child, Boss Zhou couldn't help but feel sad thinking about his daughter who had passed away early.

Mu Rousang extended her pinky towards the screen, her crisp voice woke the yearning Boss Zhou.

"Oh, Lady Boss, what's this big one called?"

She clearly had a few pieces in her basket, but she was still acting young and asking others questions. Qin Taohua completely didn't understand what she was asking.

"That is called a screen, it's a double-sided embroidery and is even more expensive than normal. What, the little girl has taken a fancy to it?" She was purposely teasing Mu Rousang.

"Lady Boss, this must be very expensive!" She was a bit bashful and a bit shy. Actually, she was pretending. She just wanted to know how much silver was sold for.

Boss Zhou was amused, he did not understand what the little girl was trying to do, "Of course, such a large embroidery screen is double-sided. Just the embroidery itself would cost three to forty gold, and with the addition of the cost of the shelves, it would usually cost sixty to seventy gold." She didn't think too much about it. A little girl asking such questions would at most make her curious.

Mu Rousang stood on her tiptoes and tried her best to match what the Boss Zhou was looking at, holding out the small basket to her, "Lady Boss, how much do you want to charge for this embroidered basket?" She knew that his embroidery skills weren't inferior to the embroidery on the screen.

The Lady Boss opened the basket and inside was a big bag of white muslin. Opening the basket, she looked inside and after pondering for a while, she beckoned her over and asked, "Little girl, who embroidered these flowers?"

Qin Taohua stretched her neck out from the back to look, but Mu Rousang blocked her behind, afraid that this guy who did not have the door latch would slip a word.

"Lady Boss, my sister is a bit tired. Can I get some water to drink?"

The Boss Zhou was clear-headed, he called his maidservant to bring tea and snacks to Qin Taohua, "Peach Blossom, wait for me here, I have something to talk about with Mother Boss Zhou."

Qin Taohua stared at the fragrant dim sum and nodded indifferently.

Only then did Boss Zhou bring her into the room, "The little girl is so smart, he can't be your elder sister, right? I don't think so. "

Mu Rousang took the basket and unceremoniously followed Boss Zhou to sit down. She only planned to do this once, and would not be able to sell any embroidery in the future, so she asked Boss Zhou straightforwardly, "Mistress, I won't be using any pretense, this embroidery was embroidered by my mother to ask my father to come to Embroidery to sell. It's just that as a man, how could he have the nerve to come in.

Mu Rousang opened one of the double-sided embroidered pictures. It was a Hundred Seed Map, and looking at the red undergarment Little Gun Chop on it, Mu Rousang could see all kinds of vivid postures. Even Boss Zhou would like it if he looked at it.

"Little girl, you have a few pieces of embroidery. Your mother isn't someone from this county, right? Only someone from the Central Plains would understand this embroidery technique." Boss Zhou was indeed someone who opened up the Embroidery, he had a good eye.

Mu Rousang knew that the people outside would not be so easy to fool.

"Hehe, what's wrong with that little girl?"

"Lady Boss, my mother never said where she came from. I don't know how to reply." Mu Rousang sighed again, only now did he remember that his mother's side of the family did not have a single relative, what kind of situation was this? Could it be that his dog-blooded brother and sister were at odds again?

Boss Zhou laughed and thought that if he were to ask a little girl what she could ask, he could let go of all his thoughts, "Little girl, I won't trick you. How about thirty silver taels for an embroidery job? If I sell it, I will only earn about 10 taels of silver. There are even people working on it and I still need to ask Master to make me a frame. All of these will cost money. "

did not know how fierce she was when she talked to Mu Rousang about the price. Furthermore, her family was not short on money, she could sell them off slowly even if she kept them.

"Big sister, my mother told me to sell this embroidery job for at least 35 taels of silver. If that doesn't work, then tell my father to take me to another one." As for the competition, anyway, she had the initiative, she did not open her own Embroidery.

The corner of Boss Zhou's mouth twitched, this girl's mouth was really sharp.

"Little girl, you are rising too much!"

"Lady Boss, for the sake of embroidering these screens, my mother almost blinded me. Sigh, before we left, my mother even said that if we lost a copper coin, we could sell them at least for forty-two silver coins. As you know, Lady Boss, whether it is the yarn or needle, they all have certain requirements for the elderflower herb, so my demand for the elderflower herb is much higher."

What she was selling was skill. If she didn't have it, she would be blind to the point that she almost couldn't see it in space. She made up her mind that she would never sell embroidery ever again.

"Lady Boss, my mother even told me and Daddy to go home early. If you find it too expensive, I'll go to another house to ask. My mother said this kind of embroidery is very rare in Ping An County."

What do you mean lying when you open your eyes? She just entered the door and saw that the embroidery style was different from mine. She was a little worried that the Lady Boss was very knowledgeable and wasn't worried at all that she wouldn't be able to sell it.

"Lady Boss, what are you worried about? My mother said that it's almost New Year's, and this kind of interesting embroidery is the easiest to sell. If you sell it for 88 taels of silver, then wouldn't it mean that you will be rich in the coming year?"

The eyes of Boss Zhou, who was hesitating a moment ago, lit up. Hah, such a good embroidery item, with such an exquisite frame, wouldn't it be worth a lot?

Gritting his teeth, he made a decision, "Fine, I want all of these! Xiao Cui, go to the tent to get some silver. " she called out.

Mu Rousang muttered in her heart, how would the servants outside know how much money they would need? After thinking about what it had to do with her, she decided to take the silver as soon as possible.

There were a total of five pieces of embroidery that were sold for 175 gold. This was also because Mu Rousang had made up her mind and sold the food, because if she sold more, it would attract others' attention. Raising more pigs would mean that Mu Jinzhi would be together with her everyday, hence her family would not have that much silver on the surface.

In fact, she was already very satisfied with selling them for 30 gold, she did not expect to earn another 25 gold, bringing it back, and got Xiao Cui to help split the money into two piles, one for 150 gold, one for 25 silver, and place them in the basket with the lid on the bamboo.

He carried the basket and went out to greet the peach blossoms that were still eating non-stop. After coming out of Embroidery, he pulled her and quickly went over to Second Uncle Qin's side. "Second Uncle, let's go!"

Even if she had that much money, she would still be afraid. If she was alone, she would be able to exterminate them with the help of the embroidery needles, but there was still one big and one small girl left.

Second Uncle Qin was hurriedly rushing the little donkey cart to turn two streets in a row. On the carriage, she was the one who had secretly thrown a large portion of silver taels into the air, leaving only twenty-five taels of silver outside. Only then did they heave a sigh of relief.

Seeing that no one was following him, he invited Second Uncle Qin to rush the donkey cart to meet Mu Jinzhi in the other street.

"Bro, let's go buy New Year's products!" At the entrance of the bookstore, Mu Rousang pulled her brother along as she excitedly wanted to go shopping.

Mu Jinzhi grabbed her little arm, "Sister!"

Mu Rousang turned his head and suspiciously asked him, she looked at the small bag in his hands and patted on the back of his head, "Oh yeah, big brother, you haven't bought any pen and ink yet right?"

Mu Jinzhi sighed in his heart. It was only when he arrived at the county city that he realized he had been negligent, "Little sister, big brother has already bought all these things just now. He thought about how Mu Rousang had given him 20 + taels of silver before he left and added," I will also buy the books that little sister likes. "
