After entering the county seat, the carriage stopped directly at the gate of the Lingqiao Pavilion, and Qiao Xi gave the coachman ten copper plates, and asked him to wait for the two sisters and brothers at the gate of the city in the afternoon.

got out of the carriage, carried a small basket, took his brother's hand, and walked into the Dexterous Pavilion.

"Welcome, may I ask ......" The second son raised his head and looked, but before he could speak, he was directly stuck, and walked out of the counter with a surprised face, "Girl, you are finally here, I have been waiting for many days." ”

"Wait for me, what's the matter?" Qiao Xi asked inexplicably.

"There's something, there's something, did the girl bring embroidery this time?" The smile on the second son's face was about to spread out. There's no way, who makes the girl's embroidery good, and there is the publicity of her own lady, just a few, sold out in one day, and there are still people lining up to buy it. Recently, the most discussed thing in the county town is their dexterous pavilion embroidery, so that Ruyifang can't sit still, he has found several times that someone is staring at their dexterous pavilion, and told Madame, but Madame said that it is not in the way, since Madame said this, of course, he is a shopkeeper who listens to Madame's words, and he does not take them seriously.

"Brought, twenty embroidered handkerchiefs, ten purses." As he spoke, he put the basket on the counter, lifted the covered cloth, and the embroidery in the basket appeared in front of him.

"Madame has explained, embroidered handkerchiefs one or two, I don't know how this purse girl plans to sell?" The second son looked at the purse and already had a plan in his heart, the purse in their shop was generally sold for about five taels, and someone bought ten taels of purses like this.

"Whatever price you see is right, that's the price." Qiao Xi is not a greedy person, she doesn't know anything about this industry, even if he only gives the price of embroidery, she can accept it, and she makes a lot of money after removing the cost, no background, no background, just make a small profit and live a stable life.

"How about I give you two taels of silver?" The second son thought about it and said.

This in itself is the price in Qiao Xi's heart, Qiao Xi does not raise the price, and she just said that he will give whatever price he gives, so she readily agreed, "Okay, just this price." ”

The second son liked Qiao Xi more and more, and thought that she should at least raise the price, but she didn't expect to get it in one bite, no wonder Mrs. said that as long as she didn't bring down the embroidery she brought, try to give it as high as possible, such a character, I'm afraid not everyone can have it.

Obviously she needs money, but she is not complacent because of her craftsmanship, but calms down, as if her embroidery is no different from ordinary people.

The second son quickly settled the embroidery money, and forty taels in half a month was so credited.

Witnessing the whole process with his own eyes, Qiao Bai was dumbfounded, these forty taels are too easy to earn.

My sister is so much for half a month, isn't it eighty taels a month, my God, I'm going to faint, I'm going to faint. Qiao Bai really swayed, startling Qiao Xi, and reached out on his wrist, but he was a little excited, nothing else, and shook him gently, "Little brother." ”

"Sister, sister." Qiao Bai also knew what he had just done, so he didn't dare to look at his sister, lowered his head, and shrunk his toes and whispered twice.

Qiao Xi didn't give face to the little brother at all, and laughed out loud, "Let you see the joke." ”

"No, it won't." He can't expect everyone to be like this little girl, not to take these things to heart, to have such a reaction is the most real, and it is also the most in line with the child's heart, he can only say that this girl is a special case.

"Little girl, do you embroider any other embroidery?" These are small pieces, and the price can't be raised, if there are large ones, it's the best, and the price is definitely fair and just.

"Yes, small pieces are good embroidery, and large pieces cost a lot of time, but it depends on how big it is." Of course, she also knew that the money for large items came quickly, and she had planned to hide it from her eldest brother before, but since she was ready to tell her after the eldest brother's birth test, it didn't matter.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the embroidery is good, it doesn't hurt to have a little more time, of course, you can rest assured that the price will never lose you." He has been working in the Lingqiao Pavilion since he was a child, and he took over after his father retired, and this business is on an equal footing with Ruyifang, and Ruyifang has repeatedly wanted to suppress their Lingqiao Pavilion, but it has not been able to do so, and it has been fighting openly and secretly for many years.

When her embroidery did not appear again, he always felt that it was difficult to overpower Ruyi Fang, but now the opportunity is in front of him, and if he does not seize it, it will be fleeting.

"I believe in you. I will produce one large item in three months at most, and I will not have more. She knows very well the truth that scarcity is expensive, and if there are more, it will become a rotten street, and in the end no one will care.

"There is no time limit, if the girl has it, she will bring it, or what kind of embroidery do we want, we will discuss with you, and if you can embroider, you can take it, what do you think?" After all, she is still a child, and if she has the ability, she may not have the energy, as she said, the simple and simple small pieces cost less thought, and the energy will not be used too much, but the large ones are different, as long as she is caught in her hands, this business cannot be escaped.

The time limit is indeed very attractive to her, so it is the best, it can give her free play, as for customization, this is also possible, embroidery according to the requirements of the owner's family can also reduce her time for composition. "Yes."

"I know that the girl is a cheerful girl. In this way, girl, you can't sell this embroidery to other families. The second son mentioned it as if unintentionally.

Qiao Xi suddenly smiled, "That's nature." I'm alone, and I don't have that energy. ”

"The girl is so cheerful, I don't know if I can sign a contract that will only be sold to the Dexterous Pavilion." Originally, I wanted to sign it together, but after thinking about it, it would be more appropriate to sign a contract that would only be sold to the Lingqiao Pavilion.

"Yes, but this contract can only be signed for one year, and all my embroidery will only be sold to Lingqiao Pavilion within a year, and it may not be necessary after a year." A year later, the family will definitely be in a different situation, a year is not slow, it is fast, and she can't predict the changes, and she can't give a positive answer.

“…… One year at a time. When the time comes, it's good to discuss. The second son thought about it and agreed, no one can predict what will happen in a year, so let's grasp this year in our hands first.

The two sides reached an agreement, and soon signed an agreement to supply only to the Dexterous Pavilion for one year. After the agreement was reached, Qiao Xi was going to take his little brother for a walk around the county, and by the way, he would buy some cloth and silk thread to go back, and there was not much left at home.

There have always been people from Ruyi Fang outside the Dexterous Pavilion staring outside, and the people of Ruyi Fang are also smart, and they can't blatantly use their own people, so they spent money to hire a few beggars, and let them squat outside the Dexterous Pavilion every day without repeating it, and once they find suspicious people, they will be informed immediately.

Today is no different from usual, beggars, not many people will focus on them, either to show that they are good people, to give some money or to eat, although beggars are not as many as cattle in the county, but it is not a few, it is normal for the Lingqiao Pavilion not to take it for granted, the beggar got other people's money, of course he is willing to do things well, after seeing Qiao Xi's two sisters and brothers get out of the car, they went directly into the Lingqiao Pavilion, with a basket in their hands, and then he quietly moved the place, and then heard them talk about embroidery, The beggar snuck away, found his partner, and asked him to go to Ruyifang to report the news, and he continued to go back and star.

Qiao Xi saw beggars when she came, and like many people, she didn't take them seriously. There are a lot of beggars in the Celestial Empire, and they do everything to abduct and deceive, which is very disgusting, but it is also pitiful, even so, many people still stay away, and similarly, she has no sympathy here.

Qiao Xi pulled his younger brother out of the Dexterity Pavilion a few steps before he was stopped by someone.

"This girl, I don't know if I can borrow a step to speak." The person who came had a round face, the corners of his eyes were quietly raised, a pair of eyes were shrewd, his hands were blocked in front of Qiao Xi, and his tone was a little condescending.

"I can't." This person didn't feel good at first, and she didn't know him, so if they took a step to speak, they had something to say.

"Sister......" Qiao Bai cautiously approached her sister, and Batra did not let go of her hand.

"Good." Qiao Xi comforted her younger brother.

"Girl, my master is invited, and I ask you to cooperate." The man's eyes were sharp and very strong.

"Your master, I don't know your master, why should I go with you." Qiao Xi felt the fear in Qiao Bai's body, and knew that the little guy was not lightly frightened.

"My master, the boss of Ruyifang, wants to discuss things with you." Only then did the man realize that he didn't say who the master was, no wonder this little girl's face was not good-looking, but it was her honor to be favored by the master, how could she take Joe's share. Although the craftsmanship of the embroiderers in their Ruyi workshop is not as good as those places in the capital, it is not bad.

As soon as she heard that it was Ruyi Fang, she understood the meaning of this person's coming, "I'm sorry, your boss is going to be disappointed, I have already signed a contract with the Dexterity Pavilion." After speaking, he took his younger brother and left.

When the man heard the word contract, he knew that there was no hope, and he no longer stopped the two siblings.

Madame this time...... He couldn't imagine it.

Back at Ruyi Fang, Mrs. Chen was already waiting there, and when she saw that there was no one behind the shopkeeper, her brows furrowed unhappily, "Shopkeeper Zhou, where are the people?" ”

"Madam, that person has already signed a contract with the Dexterity Pavilion, and we are one step late."

"What, when?" There was no contract at all that she inquired about, and now ...... Could it be just before, "Forget it, I'll go first." "She went back and thought about what to do, but she couldn't be overwhelmed.

The county seat is prosperous, when she first came, Qiao Xi had never visited the county seat at all, this time she could take her younger brother to enjoy shopping, she took her younger brother to the silk village first, and bought a few pieces of cloth and some silk threads.

After that, he stopped and stopped, bought paper for the eldest brother and the younger brother, and bought some gadgets for the younger brother, until the time was about right, he came to the city gate, got into the carriage and went back to Qiaojia Village.
