CHAPTER XX

How to copy those books Lin Zhiyun went with Shen Junchuan, after all, those books were originally left by his father to his son-in-law, and he thought that Xu Bowen was destined to be his son-in-law, so he explained what to pay attention to when he showed Xu Bowen in the future, which also caused Xu Bowen's misunderstanding, and thought that those books were destined to be his. Lin Zhiyun felt that it would be good to take this opportunity to sober up Xu Bowen.

Lin Zhiyun continued to teach Shen Junyao to make silk flowers. He also wanted to learn, but her hands were too rough and easy to break the yarn, so she continued to tie the rope in the end. Although she made less money in this way, she was also happy that Shen Junyao could earn more.

Lin Zhiyun went to buy an embroidery frame and came back to sit next to Shen Junyao, and whenever Shen Junyao made a bunch of silk flowers, Lin Zhiyun sewed them one by one on the hairband and attached embroidery flowers. Shen Junyao also learned embroidery, but she embroidered not as well as Lin Zhiyun, nor as fast as Lin Zhiyun, in order to ensure quality, embroidery has always been Lin Zhiyun's own work.

When she didn't embroider the headband, she began to embroider her own things, and before her wedding dress seemed to be very popular with everyone, she bought some good materials and came back, ready to embroider another one. This time, the fabric and silk thread used are better, and she has brought the embroidery needles that she specially asked someone to sharpen, and there is no one like Wang staring, she will definitely be able to embroider better than last time.

"Is my sister-in-law going to make a wedding dress?" Shen Junyao was curious, "But will the ready-to-wear not be easy to sell?" Most of the girls embroidered their wedding dresses themselves. ”

Lin Zhiyun smiled: "But there are also girls who are not good at embroidery, aren't they?" If the girl from a large family is not good at embroidery, she will ask a good embroiderer to help embroider. If I embroider better than those embroiderers, won't they buy my ready-to-wear? ”

"But there may not be a bride getting married recently......" Shen Junyao is still not very optimistic.

He smiled: "I remember that the lotus girl in Xiaohe Village is about to get married, right?" ”

Shen Junyao nodded and said: "The lotus girl really likes the wedding dress made by her sister-in-law, but I think that my sister-in-law's wedding dress is worth dozens of taels, how can a countryman spend so much silver to buy a wedding dress." ”

"I heard your third aunt say that there are girls in the town and county who are going to marry recently, especially the daughter of the county family." He said, "When your brother got married, your third sister-in-law said that the brides of our countrymen embroidered their wedding dresses by themselves, and they were not satisfied with the wedding dresses that they had invited several embroiderers like the county daughter. I think if Yun Niang embroiders it, she can take it and try it. ”

When Lin Zhiyun heard this, he naturally did more dedication, and he had to look much better than what he wore on his wedding day, so that he could enter the eyes of the county daughter. Lin Zhiyun felt that the daughter of the county order should not be bad for money.

Their Zhou County Order of Daiyun County is a Qing official, and generally speaking, Qing officials are very poor, but their Zhou County Order is different. Zhou Countyling's family is in business, and Mrs. Zhou's family is also in business. Even if he is the son of a businessman, as long as he has real talent and learning, he can be promoted to the imperial examination. Zhou County's order is square, and his family is very rich, so their yamen in Daiyun County is as clean as water. The only thing that is worthy of criticism in Zhou County's order is that he spoils the children too much, and the children in the family are very pampered and picky.

But this is a good opportunity for Lin Zhiyun!

By the time Lin Zhiyun embroidered the wedding dress, half a month had passed, and it happened that Shen Junchuan was about to hand in the last two copied books, and the couple went to the county seat together.

Shen Junchuan's legs and feet are much better now, and he no longer limps when he walks, Lin Zhiyun is also happy when he looks at it, and his steps are much brisker.

The shopkeeper of Markham Building was also very happy to see Lin Zhiyun, and when Lin Zhiyun didn't walk to the door, the shopkeeper Wan went out directly. Shopkeeper Wan thought to himself that thanks to this Mrs. Shen recently, their business in Markham Building has improved a lot. In the past, they were indeed the best and largest in the county, but some time ago, they came to a Four Seasons Silk Village to do very big, quite a few different from them, the cloth sold is not worse than theirs, and even the price is cheaper.

However, after Mrs. Shen came, it was different, they first sold the peach blossom bracelet, and when the Four Seasons Silk Village began to imitate, they launched the silk flower headband, and now the Four Seasons Silk Village has begun to imitate the silk flower headband again, and I don't know if Mrs. Shen will bring something new.

After the shopkeeper Wan ordered the bracelet and headband and checked out, he looked at Lin Zhiyun expectantly and took the initiative to ask this question.

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "This time I made a ready-to-wear garment, I don't know if Shopkeeper Wan can help me sell it." ”

"Oh? Does Mrs. Shen still make clothes? ”

The shopkeeper Wan only saw the small flowers embroidered by Lin Zhiyun on the hairband, and felt that although the small flowers were exquisite, many embroidery girls in the county could embroider them, but there was nothing special. When he heard that it was ready-to-wear, he was actually a little disappointed. In these years, those who don't have money make their own clothes, and those who have money hire someone to make them custom-made, and there are not many people who can buy ready-to-wear clothes.

Lin Zhiyun held the embroidered wedding dress firmly in an ordinary black cloth, and she hugged the small cloth bag and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a private room in this Markham Building, I wonder if I can go up and sit down?" ”

Quite mysterious? Shopkeeper Wan thought it was funny, but his cooperation with Lin Zhiyun had always been very pleasant, and he didn't want to offend Lin Zhiyun, so he took Lin Zhiyun upstairs. After entering the cubicle and closing the door, Lin Zhiyun opened the cloth bag in her hand and took out the wedding dress she had made.

Shopkeeper Wan looked at Lin Zhiyun's unfolded wedding dress, his eyes lit up, and he was surprised: "The embroidery on this wedding dress is also embroidered by Mrs. Shen herself?" ”

Lin Zhiyun nodded: "What does Shopkeeper Wan think of this wedding dress?" ”

Shopkeeper Wan was pleasantly surprised: "This wedding dress is naturally very good, the embroidery on it is even more brilliant than the embroidery girl in our store, I didn't expect Mrs. Shen to have such craftsmanship." It's just that the materials and silk threads used in this wedding dress are all good, and there are gold and silver threads, and the price is not low. ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "That's natural, this was originally made for nobles, I heard that the county government has not yet chosen the wedding dress of the girl last Tuesday, what does the shopkeeper think of this body?" ”

"You're here for the Tuesday girl? Madame is quite well-informed. Shopkeeper Wan smiled, "I think this wedding dress is very good, but I'm not sure if it can be seen by the girl on Tuesday." ”

"Tuesday girls are picky, and I've heard about it. I want to put this wedding dress here first, if it can't be sold, I will return it to the shopkeeper at that time. If I can sell it, I want this amount. Lin Zhiyun compared three fingers with Shopkeeper Wan.

"Three hundred taels of silver?"

"Not bad."

Lin Zhiyun was ruthless when she made this wedding dress, and took out all the silver tickets that her mother hid in the loom, plus the cash on hand, she had enough thirty taels to buy these many good materials, naturally in order to get more silver. Although the price has increased tenfold, the embroidery on this wedding dress is worth this price.

Lin Zhiyun pointed to a few more positions for the shopkeeper Wan: "I have limited money in hand, so I can only do this." Otherwise, pearls can be sewn into these places, and the wedding dress will be brilliant and will surely sell for more silver. ”

Shopkeeper Wan's eyes were brighter, and the smile on his face was a little brighter: "In this case, I will buy this wedding dress directly for my wife for three hundred taels." ”

Of course, that's better, after all, she doesn't have much money on hand now, and she doesn't know how long it will take until customers come to buy this ready-to-wear garment.

As soon as Lin Zhiyun left, he couldn't wait to give the wedding dress to the embroidery girl with the best craftsmanship in the store, and gave the embroidery girl a box of pearls, and asked the embroidery girl to sew the pearls according to what Lin Zhiyun said.

"I'm going to sell this wedding dress for a lot of money, Sister-in-law Wen can't make a mistake!" Shopkeeper Wan said solemnly.

Sister-in-law Wen touched the wedding dress and exclaimed: "I have been in this industry for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a beautiful wedding dress, is it from Fucheng?" ”

The shopkeeper Wan has also seen the world, and immediately snorted coldly: "This kind of craftsmanship is rare in the world, I'm afraid even Fucheng will not have it." It is also thanks to our good luck in Markham that we actually met such a bottle of Buddha. ”

Shopkeeper Wan actually doubted whether this wedding dress was embroidered by Lin Zhiyun, after all, Lin Zhiyun looked too young, and it didn't look like he had such craftsmanship. Even their Markham Lou's signature embroiderer, Sister-in-law Wen, has only learned this craft for 20 years.

But is it important that Lin Zhiyun embroidered it? Lin Zhiyun has already sold this wedding dress to him, and he can now use this wedding dress to earn more silver! This is enough for him, as for who the embroidery girl behind the wedding dress is, it is not so important. Anyway, Lin Zhiyun can trust the Markham Building, and if the embroidery lady makes any good things in the future, she should still send it to them.

Lin Zhiyun didn't know that her craftsmanship had been doubted, she was happy with three hundred taels of silver in her heart at the moment, and she picked a lot of materials in the Markham Building.

"The money I earned today is enough for our family to eat for a long time, and I can finally make clothes for you in my spare time." Lin Zhiyun said with a smile, "I plan to make two sets of clothes for our family of four, tell me, what color do Niang and Yao'er like?" ”

Shen Junchuan couldn't help but say when he heard this: "If you are really tired, you don't need to make clothes for us, I think the ready-to-wear in this Markham Building is also very good." ”

"How can ready-to-wear clothes be made by themselves?" Lin Zhiyun smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be tired of myself, I will rest for a while when the money is enough." As an embroiderer, I know more than you think to take care of my hands and eyes. ”

Shen Junchuan had no choice but to say: "Then let's do it first, don't worry." ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll do it slowly first, and I'll wear it when the season changes." ”

She said so on her lips, but in her heart she still wanted to make Shen Junchuan's clothes first. Although the Shen family has been down for a long time, the He family bought a lot of clothes when the family still had money, and there are still two boxes of them, and the clothes that Shen Junyao wears on weekdays are all changed from the clothes of the He family in the past. When the family was separated, the Qian family originally wanted to ignore these clothes, but unfortunately Shen Junchuan remembered it later, and ran back to the Shen family to carry it back, so now they don't have to worry about wearing clothes, and she is also wearing He's.

Only Shen Junchuan really has no clothes, all the things on his body are worn by several cousins of the Shen family, and the He family has no money to buy him anything else, and he himself will buy medicine for the He family when he gets the money, and he will not spend it on himself.

Lin Zhiyun felt sorry for him and wanted to hurry up and make him a fit.
