Chapter 226 Big Money

However, except for shopkeeper Wu of the Weaving Girl Embroidery Village, the other three embroidery villages did not ask Ye Weilan for her name and address, so they had to wait. Azure inquired about these things.

Who knew that after finally getting the news, they were invited to come to Ye Weilan's house.

These shopkeepers are also old-fashioned. Seeing this posture, they all feel a little bit drummed. I don't know what kind of medicine this little girl is selling in the gourd?

Song Jiayin served tea for everyone, and then stood aside with her hands down.

Ye Weilan opened the mouth and said: "All shopkeepers, I would like to invite you to come here today, because I want to show you a screen."

As she said that, she winked at Song Jiayin, and Song Jiayin took a piece of embroidery that had been prepared from the desk. After unfolding, she saw red embroidery on a thin layer of organdy. The pattern of plum blossoms is exquisitely designed, and the color is elegant and generous, which is pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Song Jiayin held the embroidery for a while, turned the embroidery over, and saw that the back was the same red plum blossom as the front, which was actually a double-sided embroidery technique.

When the shopkeepers saw the embroidery in her hands, they couldn't sit still. They all stood up, walked up to her, and hurriedly brought the embroidery to her eyes, carefully inspecting the stitches. , with an excited expression on his face, he murmured: "It really is double-sided embroidery, and the reverse side cannot be seen at all."

Ye Weilan smiled from the side: "Please sit down for a while and listen to what I have to say."

The shopkeepers had no choice but to return the embroidery to Song Jiayin reluctantly, and then sat back.

Ye Weilan then said: "There are four pieces of embroidery in total, which can just make a screen with four leaves. The little girl intends to sell these four pieces of screens. Today, I invite some shopkeepers to come to hold a private auction. These four pieces The screen, the one with the highest price gets it! The little girl believes that no matter which shopkeeper gets these four screens, he will look up to everyone in the eyes of the shopkeeper."

Following her words, Song Jiayin took the remaining three embroidery pieces one by one, and unfolded them for them to see.

Ye Weilan said again: "The shopkeepers are all people who know the goods. They should know the value of this double-sided embroidery. You are all busy people, and the little girls don't dare to waste your time. Let's start now. These four screens , the base price is 1000 taels for one piece, and 4000 taels for four, so please feel free to bid."

Shopkeeper Wu of Zhinu Embroidery Village immediately said, "Four thousand five hundred taels!"

A tall and thin man with a horse face said, "Four thousand five hundred and fifty taels!"

There are also two shopkeepers, one is a woman with a very rich figure, she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, although she knew that double-sided embroidery would definitely make money, but four screens cost her more than 4000 taels. no.Because she is also working for others, the embroidery village is not hers.

Although the fourth shopkeeper of the embroidery shop felt that the double-sided embroidery was good, he was still a little vague when it came to bidding.

Therefore, only shopkeeper Wu from Weaving Girl Embroidery Workshop and the shopkeeper with a horse face were left to bid there. Shopkeeper Wu seemed to be determined to win the four double-sided embroideries, so he kept increasing the price, and soon called for 6000 taels.

The shopkeeper with a horse face was a little timid, hesitated for a moment, and added another 100 taels. The shopkeeper Wu didn't increase the price immediately this time, but hesitated for a while, and added another 50 taels. The shopkeeper with a horse face saw her hesitation, and closed the door He talked and didn't bid again.

"Six thousand, 150 taels..." Ye Weilan smiled faintly. She was not satisfied with this price, but it was much better than selling her embroidery products in an embroidery shop.

Xiuzhuang is doing business to make money, so it will definitely not give her too high a price.

Moreover, almost as she imagined, the person who got this double-sided embroidery was from "Zhinu Embroidery Village", and "Zhinu Embroidery Village" is the property of the Xuan family. If you think about it, it won't take long for Xuan Chen to know that she The double-sided embroidery has been embroidered.

Thinking of Xuan Chen, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart!
I don't know if that bad-tempered guy would vomit blood angrily if he knew that she had embroidered double-sided embroidery and sold it instead of saving it for him to open an embroidery shop.

"Deal!" she said. "Congratulations to Mrs. Wu for getting these four pieces of embroidery."

Aunt Wu stood up with a smile, and nodded to the other three shopkeepers, "Everyone has accepted!"

After finishing speaking, she said to Ye Weilan: "Before I came here today, I didn't know that the girl wanted to sell embroidery, so I didn't bring any money with me. Please wait a little bit, I will go back and get the money, and I will be back in a while."

Ye Weilan said quickly, "I don't dare to bother Mrs. Wu again, let Uncle Song go with you to get it."

"It's easy to say!" Aunt Wu said, and walked out.

The other three shopkeepers also left one after another. Song Hengzhi took the four double-sided embroidery and sent everyone out.

Ye Weilan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in her heart that she really didn't work in vain, six thousand and one hundred and fifty taels of silver, she really earned all the expenses of the whole family for ten years.

Song Jiayin couldn't help but said: "Miss, will that woman really give us more than 6000 taels? What if she backs out? That's more than 6000 taels!"

"No!" Ye Weilan said lightly. "She knows the goods, otherwise, she would not have gone to the inn to find my mother that day. She is not only sure to get my double-sided embroidery, but also the embroidery method. Let me make a lot of money money, and then slowly lobbying my mother is her idea. When she sells the four double-sided embroidered screens, the real competition will begin. At that time, the other shopkeepers will It won't be what it is today."

Song Hengzhi successfully brought back 250 taels of gold and 150 taels of silver ingots. When Ye Weilan saw these gold and silver, Gao Ti's heart was completely relieved.

She prefers gold to portable silver bills, so please ask Song Hengzhi to ask shopkeeper Wu for all gold.

Sui Youran looked at the gold and silver in surprise, a little unbelievable, "Lan'er, did you really trade for those pieces of embroidery?"

Ye Weilan nodded, and then said: "Next year at the latest, people will figure out the idea of ​​double-sided embroidery. By then, we won't be able to earn so much money."

Sui Youran sighed quietly, "Money is endless, Thirteen Niang, Yi Niang said, with this money in our hands, we will have food and drink for a lifetime. From time to time, we can also do some embroidery work to make up for it. It's a good day, so don't worry about it."

Inside the words, she wanted to persuade her daughter not to think about seeking revenge from Wenmo. Wenmo is the prime minister, a high-ranking member of the court, and her own niece is also the imperial concubine. How can it be said that it can be brought down if it is overthrown?She has no hope in this life, only such a son and a daughter, she really doesn't want anything to happen to her daughter because of revenge, in that case, she will feel so distressed to death.

Ye Weilan didn't care, but was busy hiding all the gold and silver.

……

Early in the morning, Ye Weilan got up. Like the previous few days, she first used golden sore medicine to clean Xiao Hei's wound, and then applied the medicine. Then she went back to the house, changed her clothes, and wiped her face and hands. After washing it again, I had breakfast.

Today's breakfast is Zamian pancakes, with a lot of eggs in them, which are tender and delicious. With millet porridge, the family of seven eats delicious and sweet.

After breakfast, Li Feng sent Sui Youran to the kang in the east room, Song Jiayin was busy clearing the table, Song Hengzhi said: "I asked Mr. Su from the yamen yesterday, and he said that my student status can be transferred here. , so I want to invite Master Su to have a meal alone today."

"Oh?" Ye Weilan couldn't help being happy when she heard this. She had been thinking about this matter all the time. If Song Hengzhi didn't transfer his student status, he would have to go back to the Song Family Yingzi in the year of the Grand Competition. If he could transfer his student status over here , things are much simpler, and you can take the township examination nearby.

"Then you have to invite a good dinner. I'll give you 20 taels of silver. You look at the flowers. Not only can the people in the yamen not offend you, but you have to win them over..." Ye Weilan went into the room and took the flowers. 20 taels of silver came out.

Song Hengzhi put the money away carefully, rinsed his mouth again, changed his clothes, and drove the carriage out to find Chen An.

Because he was going to have a treat today, Ye Weilan couldn't go out, so she called Li Feng to help milk the cow. After all, since she bought a cow, she couldn't raise it for nothing.

Li Feng had already told her to buy a wooden barrel, scrub it clean, and scald it with boiling water, so it will come in handy now.

She and Song Jiayin stood in the stable, watching Li Feng sitting on the pony saddle, milking the cow vigorously with his hands. The cow stood there very docilely, without moving.

She milked for about a quarter of an hour before stopping, and then went to the kitchen with the wooden bucket. This cow was just in the peak period of milk production, and this time it milked seven or eight catties of milk. She cleaned the pot and cleaned the milk. Pour it in, light the stove, and start heating the milk while stirring it with a spoon constantly.

When the milk boiled, she poured half of the milk into an earthen pot, and the rest into a wooden basin, about four catties of milk, four catties of milk sounds like a lot, but pouring it into a basin is not enough. How many.

She came out with a wooden basin, and greeted Ye Weilan to the embroidery room in the backyard, "Miss, come, soak your hands for a quarter of an hour while it's fresh."

Ye Weilan tugged Song Jiayin's hand, "Sister Jiayin, let's ask Xiaofu to soak his hands together."

Song Jiayin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lan'er, this milk is for you, so let's not use it."

"Who said it was for me alone? These are enough for the three of us to use together." Ye Weilan insisted on pulling her out, came to Chen's house, and called Chen Xiaofu over.

When she came back, she saw Li Niang staggering into the gate of her house with a floral handkerchief in her hand.

Seeing Li Niang's slender figure, Ye Weilan's expression turned a little ugly. On the day of the banquet, Li Niang was standing by Li Zheng's side, and she wanted to make a baby kiss with Li Zheng's son. of.
