"yes, I don't know if it's convenient for you to go in and talk in detail?" Qiao Xi looked at the woman with wide eyes and hope.

The woman secretly said in her heart: This little girl is really pleasing enough, and her speech is also polite, and even the embroidery in her hand is really good. "Little girl, you embroider a handkerchief really well, go sit inside."

"Really? Thank you ma'am. Qiao Xi looked at the woman with a grateful expression.

"Second son, come out to see the store, I have something to talk to the customer." The woman shouted to the inner hall, and soon a young man came out of it.

"Little girl, let's go." The woman walked ahead, and Qiao Xi followed her into the inner hall.

After the second son came out, his eyes were always on Qiao Xi's body, but at a young age, he didn't see the timidity of outsiders at all, but his face was open, no wonder Mrs. personally led her in to discuss.

His wife is no one else, it is the wife of the richest man in Fuyang County, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu's special favor of this lady, so far there is only one Mrs. in the back house of the Zhu family, and others try every means to enter the Zhu Mansion, Mrs. Zhu has given birth to two sons and a daughter for Mr. Zhu, that status is unbreakable, the most important thing is that Mr. Zhu has no two hearts, and has always treated Mrs. Zhu like a jewel, and this lady came to check the accounts, but I didn't expect to let this little girl run into it, which can only say that her luck is really good.

"Sit down, my husband's surname is Zhu, you can call me Mrs. Zhu, how old is the little girl this year?" How can the family rest assured that such a young child will go out without worrying about being abducted by traffickers?

"Hello Mrs. Zhu, my name is Qiao Xi, Chenxi's Xi, nine years old this year." After Qiao Xi finished speaking, he took a seat next to Mrs. Zhu.

"Good name, the morning sun warms my heart, why are you alone, your family?" Looking at the same size as her daughter, there shouldn't be a father and mother by her side at such a young age, even a poor family wouldn't let such a young child go out alone.

"My father and mother have passed away, and there is only one eldest brother and younger brother." Qiao Xi doesn't feel that there is anything about her life experience that she can't be humane to outsiders, and she doesn't feel how pitiful she is, she doesn't need the pity of others.

"Ah...... Sorry to bring up your sadness. Mrs. Zhu said apologetically.

"Madame don't mind, I wonder if Madame is satisfied with my embroidered handkerchief?" She didn't have much time to chatter, she hurried home.

Knowing that she didn't want to talk about it more, Mrs. Zhu changed the topic with her, "I have ten minutes of your embroidered handkerchief, I don't know how you want to sell it?" If she took this handkerchief back, her daughter would be very happy.

Qiao Xi said bluntly, "Embroidered Pa is not worth two prices for five hundred wen." ”

Five hundred Wen, the price is a bit high, but this quality, absolutely nothing to say, to be able to embroider such a good thing, it must take a lot of energy, so think about it, she feels that the price is a little low, "Little girl, let's do it, I will buy your embroidered handkerchief at the price of one or two silver each, if there is such a thing in the future, even if you bring it to me, I will collect it at this price." "With such a beautiful embroidered handkerchief, it may change the business of Lingqiao Pavilion, she has been tied with Ruyifang in the past, and has never competed, this time it is very likely to be compared.

As soon as Qiao Xi heard this price, her eyes lit up, and she thanked her again and again, as long as she sold the things in her hand, as for other things that she should not care about, she would be happy to have the money in her account. "Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Zhu"

"Okay, I may not be there next time, but I'll tell you to go down, it's not early, it's not safe for the little girl to be out alone, go back early." She still likes the little girl's temperament, not delicate and pretentious, very down-to-earth and generous.

"Thank you, Madame, for your concern."

After settling the money, Qiao Xi said goodbye to Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu took a few embroidered handkerchiefs home with high interest and gave them to her daughter as gifts.

Although Miss Zhu is small, she is very polite to be taught by Mrs. Zhu.

"Xian'er, come here, see what my mother brought back for you?" After Mrs. Zhu returned home, she went straight to her daughter's yard.

"Mother, what kind of good thing is it?" Zhu Xian'er slowly put down the brush in her hand, cleaned her hands before coming to her mother, Mrs. Zhu, and asked with a smile.

"Come, look." Mrs. Zhu brought back the two embroidered handkerchiefs directly in front of her daughter's eyes.

"Wow...... Mother, this ...... Is this really fake? Miss Zhu's performance is the same as that of Mrs. Zhu, but Mrs. Zhu's experience is there, so she didn't lose her temper like Miss Zhu and exclaimed.

"Silly girl, of course it's true." Mrs. Zhu touched the top of her daughter's hair with a soft gaze.

"Mother, where did you buy this, this is amazing, these flowers and fish seem to be alive." Miss Zhu's eyes were full of disbelief, such an embroidered handkerchief is not cheap, but no matter how expensive it is, it is worth it, such a thing is hard to find.

His father went south and north to do a lot of business, she has also seen a lot of good things, but this kind of embroidery is the first time to see, although the thing is small but with a snatching aura, no one refuses!

"Today, my mother went to the Lingqiao Pavilion to check the accounts, and I happened to meet a girl as old as you who came to sell embroidery, and she embroidered them." Mrs. Zhu explained it roughly.

"As old as me, then her craftsmanship is really amazing." She can also embroider, at most embroidery small things, she can't embroider such a delicate embroidered handkerchief, that girl's mind must be very skillful, otherwise how would she embroider such embroidery.

"Yes, so my mother let her have such embroideries in the future and sell them in Lingqiao Pavilion, and we will accept them." There will definitely not be many fine embroideries like this, and her lord's business is big, so she can take them to other towns to sell, and the price is naturally high.

"Mother, how much do you get for an embroidered handkerchief?"

"One, two, one."

"It's so cheap." She thought it was even more expensive.

"Silly girl, it seems to you that one or two feels very little, but for that child, it is very much, she earns twenty taels at one time, she is very content." At such a young age, but you have to run for life, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

"Is her life miserable?" Zhu Xian'er was a little unexpected, she had been clothed and fed since she was a child, and it was normal for her not to empathize.

"That's not necessarily, although her parents have died, but her mother didn't see a negative posture on her face, she worked hard for life." Judging from her speech and demeanor, she didn't see the cynical appearance of the little girl at all, but smiled.

She ...... She was an orphan. Zhu Xian'er was taken aback, she didn't expect that she was an orphan, but she hadn't been defeated by life.

"She has an older brother and a younger brother, and the elder brother probably went out to work, and only the younger brother is left at home."

"It's hard."

"It's like you, born with a golden key, and you haven't suffered anything."

"Mother......" Zhu Xian'er shook Mrs. Zhu's sleeves unobtrusively.

"You......" poked his daughter's forehead dotingly.

After leaving the Dexterity Pavilion, Qiao Xi went to buy two bags first to fill his stomach, otherwise there would be nothing to eat on the road later.

After filling his stomach, Qiao Xi ran to the county school where his eldest brother studied, and secretly glanced outside, but he didn't see his eldest brother. Sneakily came, I sneaked away again.

The eldest brother didn't see it, so Qiao Xi didn't stay in the county seat, quickened the pace of his feet, and walked away again.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, the sun had already set, and I saw a small figure at the gate walking anxiously there from a distance, looking towards the entrance of the village.

After seeing his sister's figure, he was like a bird flying out of the birdcage, flying towards Qiao Xi happily.

"Sister, sister, you're finally back." Panting and standing in front of Qiao Xi, he said.

"Let's go, go home and give you something to eat."

"Well, go home." My sister is back, and Qiao Bai is very happy. It's boring to be at home alone, and I don't dare to go out. "What a good thing."

"Maltose. That's not what you're thinking about. ”

"Wow, sister, you're the best." Just thinking about it makes your mouth water.

"Little ponyf." pinched his brother's nose, and the two walked happily home, one after the other.

As soon as she got home, Qiao Xi began to cook dinner, and since there were only two people, she didn't cook much, so she fried a green vegetable and stewed a little meat.

After eating, locking the door, Qiao Xi put the money earned today on the table, and the silver touched the table with a banging sound.

"Sister, so much?" One tael, two tael, three tael...... Twenty taels, my God, there are actually twenty taels, how can they sell so much. More than they make selling vegetables.

"Yes, twenty, one or two." Embroidered handkerchiefs can be one or two, if it is replaced with a purse or a sachet, the price must be higher, and you can earn more.

"One or two? So valuable. "Her mother used to sell the best for only 100 yuan, and the price in this town is already one of the best, and others can't compare.

"That means that someone has a discerning eye for the goods, if it's not good, how can she spend this big price."

"It's a good thing we can make money anyway." I believe that the person who buys my sister's embroidery must like it very much, otherwise how can it cost a lot of money.

"You're ......"

"Little pitiful, this is for you as pocket money, buy whatever you want in the future." Qiao Xi very generously moved a tael of silver and pushed it in front of his younger brother.

"For me?" Qiao Bai couldn't believe that his sister actually gave him so much money.

"Yes, for you. What is given to you is yours, and you can spend it. But I have to hide it, and I'm not responsible for losing it. "She forgot to give her and her eldest brother money during the New Year, in the Celestial Empire, the elders have to give the juniors a red envelope during the New Year, this one or two silver should be regarded as a red envelope for the New Year, don't panic if you have money in the palm of your hand, hahahaha......
