Chapter 123: The Weaver Girl
How so?
They just happened to come over to buy cloth, but this happened, Cheng Yuru's face was calm when she heard this, and she not only remembered what happened before.
At that time, it seemed to be a boiling Jiangnan rectification, which uprooted many industries here. The weaving business is naturally the top priority in this Jiangnan area.
She later heard rumors that it was because the cloth merchants among them made huge profits all year round, and deliberately cultivated some weaver girls who learned to cut corners, so as to minimize the cost of silk threads used in cloth.
The cloth they make looks the same as the ones made by others, but it is very useless.
Later, this matter seemed to have reached the ears of the royal family, and the emperor directly sent a minister to strictly investigate.
It seems that they have arrived at this time.
Cheng Yuru knew that the person next to her was very anxious, so she hurriedly took her hand and comforted her softly.
"Sister Ying, don't worry, I have my own way."
She directly pulled people to the side of the remote place, and with the vague memory before, she really walked into a very secluded alley.
Lin Ying looked at the person next to her with some confusion, but did not interrupt her. Cheng Yuru has always had her own reasons for doing things, she just waited and watched.
Sure enough, Cheng Yuru walked to the door and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
There was no one inside.
She didn't pay attention to this situation, and said directly to herself, "The little girl has something to ask for, so I specially ask Wen Niang to help make a few pieces of cloth." ”
Although the people inside still hadn't opened the door, there was some murmuring sound.
Lin Ying was a little stunned and felt a little strange.
Hearing Cheng Yuru knocking on the door, not only did she not open it, but she also needed someone to invite her with such respect, what kind of sacredness is this?
There was a "crunch" and the door slowly opened.
The sight was an extremely ugly old woman, who seemed to be unable to see in one eye, and had a deep scar on it.
"Who called me?" She saw the two people in front of her show intense impatience.
"It's the little girl." Cheng Yuru actually made a big salute respectfully.
The old woman glanced at her, this little girl not only knew her name, but could also be so respectful.
She looked the person up and down a few times before she said coldly, "How did you find it?" ”
"Naturally, I know it from a source that wants to know." Hearing the old woman's question, Cheng Yuru smiled softly.
Knowing the existence of this person, she still trusted the blessing of her previous life, Cheng Lian'er sent someone to kill her before, she was in the Jiangnan area at the time, and she hid in this courtyard by mistake.
What surprised her was that the ugly and weak old woman waved her hand casually, and the killer was killed instantly.
She could see the weapon clearly, but it was a very ordinary embroidery needle, and then she asked Wen Niang for help and helped her do chores for more than half a month, but one day someone suddenly left.
Later, she returned to Wang Liande's side, and at that time she knew that the person who got along with her day and night for half a month was actually a famous killer in the rivers and lakes.
Known as the Thousand Needles Meng Po.
Unfortunately, the two haven't seen each other since.
Today, when I thought of finding this place, it was actually a sudden thought.
Wen Niang's craftsmanship in weaving cloth is superb, and she can even take several times faster than others. The cloth she makes is often sold at will and can be coaxed.
It's just that no one knows that she did it.
When her thoughts flipped around, the old woman snorted coldly, "I don't even dare to say where I came from, and you still want the cloth I weaved?" ”
Cheng Yuru took a step forward, but said: "Naturally, a bold and reckless person like me dares to come, and ordinary people may not." ”
Lin Ying was very surprised that she spoke like this, and looked over in surprise.
But she saw that the old woman's face showed a little satisfaction.
Sure enough, the next moment, her old and hoarse voice sounded, "Make up and come in." ”
As a result, she suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Ying on the other side, looked at her carefully, noticed her legs, and sighed faintly.
"You come too."
Lin Ying was inexplicable about the current scene, but she still adhered to the principle of saying less and watching more, and hurriedly followed.
Cheng Yuru knew that she had many doubts in her heart, but now was really not a good time to explain, so she thought about going out and talking to her again.
Wen Niang doesn't eat soft and hard, and she doesn't look at good or bad.
The only criterion for her willingness to lead people into the house is to have her own personality, which she is quite pleasing to the eye.
Cheng Yuru was in such a troublesome state in her previous life, if it weren't for Wen Niang's subordinates who were still a little pleasing to the eye, she would definitely drive people away.
She just guessed what she must have liked Wen Niang, so she thought about trying her luck now.
And sure enough, it worked.
The moment Lin Ying entered the door, she was shocked by all kinds of cloth in the yard.
Although some of them are still half-finished products that are drooping, it is not difficult to see that the quality of this cloth is not at all what ordinary people can produce.
Not only that, but a cursory glance revealed that the weaving method used for several pieces of cloth was very rare, and she had the privilege of reading a few books and knew that there were some unique crafts.
At that glance just now, I just saw one of them.
Cheng Yuru was not surprised by this, but turned her head directly to look at the person next to her.
"The little girl wants to ask, is water silk more valuable than brocade silk?"
Wen Niangrao has experienced strong winds and waves, and she didn't expect her to ask this in the first sentence.
Unconsciously, she actually forgot her original thoughts.
"Only those who don't see it will regard brocade as a so-called treasure."
When Lin Ying heard this, she looked up at Cheng Yuru. She had actually heard a lot about fabrics, and many of them were the same.
It is nothing more than the exquisite material of brocade silk, and its value far exceeds that of other equal silks. I just listened to what Cheng Yuru said before, and when I saw the obviously very knowledgeable weaver in front of me say this, I was a little helpless for a while.
In vain, I have been in the cloth business for so long, and I can't tell the difference between good and bad.
At that time, Boss Yun was actually not very interested in water silk, but he thought it was produced by Jiangnan, so he reluctantly agreed.
But now it seems that it is not at all as they thought, Wen Niang reacted after she finished speaking, and saw Cheng Yuru say with a smile.
"Then please help us make eight horses, and the little girl will try to repay as much as she can."
After saying this, Lin Ying didn't expect her to be so direct.
Wen Niang always has a feeling that she is understood by the other party in all aspects, and always follows her ideas inadvertently.
She suddenly looked at the person in front of her with both eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse, "Who are you?" ”
"Who am I, why do I care so much? I'm just here to do you a favor. Cheng Yuru heard the question, but sighed softly.
When Wen Niang heard this, she froze instantly.
