Chapter 207 Apply for Household Registration
At this time, Song Hengzhi brought Song Jiacong in from another room, smiled and clasped hands with Chen An, and chatted with each other. They were both men, so it was easier to talk.

Ye Weilan took Chen Xiaofu to sit on the kang, then knelt on the kang, opened the drawer on the kang cabinet, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Chen Xiaofu, this handkerchief was pink with white embroidered Cuscuta flower.

"Xiaofu, this handkerchief is for you."

"It's so beautiful!" Chen Xiaofu looked at the handkerchief with sparkling eyes and asked in disbelief. "This...do you really want to give it to me?"

"It's natural!"

"But..." Chen Xiaofu said hesitantly. "My mother said that this is very expensive. If you sell it to an embroidery shop, you can sell it for a lot of money."

Ye Weilan smiled and said: "Silly girl, you should know that how much money is worth is not as good as the bond between our sisters. It's just a handkerchief, not worth anything. If you like this embroidery, you can come and find it when we move into a new house later." Me, I will teach you how to embroider, and when you have learned it, you can embroider handkerchiefs for yourself, and you can also take them to the embroidery shop to exchange some money to supplement your family."

Li Ying heard her words from the side, and hurriedly said: "Xiaofu, this is a skill that no one else can ask for, why don't you hurry up and thank Miss Lan'er."

Chen Xiaofu hurriedly said: "Thank you Miss Lan'er."

Ye Weilan said: "I beg you, don't call me Miss any more, Xiaofu, from now on you can just call me sister, look at Sister Jiayin, just call me by my name."

Li Ying said: "No way, miss, seniors and young are orderly, there is a difference between seniority and inferiority, your status is noble, and Xiaofu should respect you."

"If Aunt Ying is like this, then I will be angry, and I will not dare to associate with you in the future!"

Li Ying couldn't hold on anymore.

Chen Xiaofu called timidly, "Sister Lan'er!"

Ye Weilan happily agreed, she really didn't want to be a lady, she just wanted to be an ordinary village girl.

But Chen An stood up and said to his wife and children at home: "You are here to chat with Madam and Miss. I will go to the Yamen to get the household registration. I am afraid that I will invite someone to drink at noon. I will come over in the afternoon."

Li Ying got up and warned: "Remember to drink less alcohol, your stomach is not good."

Chen An nodded, agreed, and left.

In the afternoon, Chen An came back and brought back a household registration book, on which the names of Ye's mother and daughter, and Song's family of four were clearly written.

Ye Weilan's high-minded heart has been completely let go. Without a household registration, she and her mother can't do anything.

Asking her mother to put away the household registration properly, she saluted Chen An, "Uncle Chen, thank you so much."

Chen An said with a smile: "Look at this girl, there are really a lot of courtesy, don't be so polite, as I said, we are our own family, how can there be any reason why our family does not help our own family?"

Ye Weilan also smiled and said: "Since it's my family, Uncle Chen, don't be polite to me, stay for dinner tonight."

……

The house of Ye Weilan's house is finished, and the sewing is almost done at home. Just waiting for the furniture to be delivered one after another, they can officially move into the new house.

Ye Weilan was thinking, when she was in the capital, she got 10,000+ taels of silver bills by tricking the three wives of the Wen family.

If it was an ordinary farmer's family, with these 10,000+ taels of silver, they could live comfortably for a lifetime, but she was very dissatisfied with this figure.

Because she has a bigger goal, she wants to go back to the capital one day, she wants revenge, she wants to fight against Wen Mo, all of which need money to pave the way.

So, she still has to make money!
And even though she was reborn, she doesn't know how to make a lot of money, so she can only embroider a few pieces of embroidery.

So, seeing that she had nothing to do for the time being, she asked Song Hengzhi to take herself, Li Feng, and Song Jiayin to the embroidery village.

She was not idle on the boat, embroidered all the way, and finally embroidered a double-sided embroidery, she thought, this double-sided embroidery should be able to earn her a lot of money.

As expected, there is an embroidery shop in Liaocheng, and she specially chose the "Weaver Girl Embroidery Workshop" under the "Jubao Trading Company", because the businesses under the "Jubao Trading Company" are all honest, genuine, and have a good reputation, so she is willing to patronize .

She will never admit that she chose "Zhinu Embroidery Workshop" because of Xuan Chen.

In the embroidery shop, a woman in her 40s and a girl in her [-]th and [-]th years old look after the shop. The business in the shop is very good, and there are several female customers looking at the embroidery.

Although the main customers of the shops at the border are Tartars, this does not prevent them from doing business with local customers.

Because there are many shops, Liaocheng is very popular, and there is no need to worry about no customers for any business.

Seeing a new guest coming to the door, the woman greeted her very warmly.

"A few customers want to buy embroidery?"

Li Feng replied with a smile: "I will accompany my young lady to go shopping. If there is any embroidery that I like, I will naturally want to buy it."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Weilan with his eyes.

The old woman knew that the little girl was the master, so she smiled and said, "I don't know what you want to buy, girl?"

Ye Weilan looked around, walked to the counter, and asked, "How do you sell your embroidery?"

Seeing that although the clothes on her body were only made of ordinary satin jackets and trousers, the woman had an inexplicable elegance and nobility on her body, so she didn't dare to neglect her, and said with a smile: "It depends on what the girl wants to buy, we There are handkerchiefs, curtains, tablecloths, quilt covers, and screens in the shop, all with different prices."

Ye Weilan thought for a while, then pointed to the only screen in the shop. This screen was just a very ordinary picture of a phoenix wearing a peony, with a high-quality fir base and glazed panels. It was about three inches wide. The size is two feet long.

The woman smiled and said, "This screen is not for sale, someone has already ordered it."

Ye Weilan smiled and said, "I don't want to buy it, but I just want to ask how much it costs to buy such a screen."

The woman stretched out two fingers, "It's 2000 taels of silver!"

Ye Weilan was taken aback, and thought to herself, this is really a sky-high asking price, how can this kind of thing be worth 2000 taels of silver?If the base is made of red sandalwood, maybe it can be sold at a higher price, but this is obviously a fir base. The price of fir and red sandalwood varies from day to day, and the price difference is ten times.The material for this base is worth 30 taels at best, plus 20 taels for manual work, but 50 taels.That is to say, the glazed panel can be worth some money, but at most it is worth five or six hundred taels.

This kind of embroidery work is very ordinary, and the patterns are old-fashioned, not novel at all. Although the embroiderer's craftsmanship is good, it is already enough to pay 100 taels, and the sum of inside and outside will not exceed 800 taels. How can you ask for such an expensive price?

Before the woman could speak, Li Feng said: "Miss, you don't know, this Liaocheng is a place of bitter cold at the frontier, the people here don't know how to raise silkworms, so naturally they don't know how to weave silk satin. Naturally, Ziguo will not."

"But the princes and nobles of the Tartar Kingdom still like our embroidery, and are usually willing to spend a lot of money for a good embroidery."

The woman in the embroidery shop smiled and said: "This sister-in-law is a sensible person, little girl, most of the embroidery in my shop is sold to businessmen from the Tartar Kingdom who come to buy. Wearing a Peony Picture' was ordered a long time ago, and the goods were only delivered from the south, and they were placed there to attract popularity, not for sale. If you want to buy it, I still have handkerchiefs and sachets here. Look, girl. Look."

As he spoke, he handed over a pink handkerchief embroidered with white plum blossoms.

Ye Weilan casually took the handkerchief and glanced at it. It was just an ordinary embroidered work, and there was nothing special about it, so she returned it to the woman, and continued to focus on the screen. She still had a set in her hand. If you want to sell the four screens for a good price, it is necessary to find out the price of the screens.

During this journey on the boat, she had nothing to do, so she embroidered four screens. The designs and colors were very simple, but they were the "Four Gentlemen" that can be seen everywhere, that is, plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.

However, her screen is not simple, because what she embroiders is not single-sided embroidery, but double-sided embroidery, that is to say, her embroidery is exactly the same on both sides.

Ye Weilan thought for a while, then took out a handkerchief, handed it to her and said, "Ma'am, help me see, how much money can this kind of needlework be sold for?"

This handkerchief was also double-sided embroidered, with a red plum blossom slantingly bent at one corner of the snow-white handkerchief, which she brought out to attract business, and it was the only double-sided embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

The woman took the handkerchief in her hand and looked at it from the other side. She was stunned and stammered, "This... what kind of embroidery is this? Why are the flowers on both sides the same? This... Which side is heads? Which side is tails?"

"It's called double-sided embroidery." Ye Weilan explained softly. "It's my mother's original skill, and it's unique. Auntie, how much do you think such a handkerchief should be sold in your shop?"

The old woman suppressed the shock in her heart and said: "Little girl, for this handkerchief, Madam will give you five taels of silver!"

Ye Weilan saw that she gave such a high price all of a sudden, but smiled calmly, "I don't want to sell this handkerchief, I still keep it for myself, but I have a set of screens, which are also the same double handkerchief. Face embroidery, I wonder if the aunt is interested?"

"Yes! Of course I'm interested!" The woman said with a smile on her face, "Little girl, can you tell me where your family lives?"

"We moved here from other provinces. We just built a new house in Chenjiazhuang. We haven't had time to move in yet. Now we live in Home Inns." Ye Weilan knew that such a rare skill like hers must be in the hands of major embroidery factories. scrambling.

The woman warmly brought her the silver, "Little girl, my surname is Wu, you can call me Aunt Wu. If you have embroidery in the future, just bring it to me. The aunt will never treat you badly. Auntie Let me tell you, you are young and don't know the sinister heart, although there are still a few embroidery shops in Liao City, but when it comes to doing business, the price given by our Zhinu embroidery shop is the most fair."
