Chapter 49: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
"Sister Li doesn't need to be presumptuous, if it weren't for your fine embroidery, I wouldn't dare to bring you here."
How Gu Qingyi couldn't see Li Niangzi's restraint, she was stoic by nature, and she didn't lose her fierceness, just because she was tempered by someone who was unladylike, and she avoided the nunnery in frustration. With the status of the Splendid Pavilion, if she can recognize her embroidery work, I am afraid that no matter how turbulent her heart is, she can't help but rejoice.
She is still young, and she shouldn't have wasted her life on the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.
Unable to avoid her escaping, Gu Qingyi directly snatched the basket in her hand and put it on the counter, put her own handkerchief on it, and asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper Xu, this is the embroidery work of our sisters, how much do you think it is worth?" ”
Xiuyun Pavilion is famous, many rich and noble people like to come here to buy embroidery, even if it is not palace embroidery, it is also the name of Xiuyun Pavilion, and it is also a matter of raising face, so the guests are like clouds, and there is an endless stream.
When Gu Qingyi was still Yan Shunhua, he needed to buy clothes because of his marriage, and he had dealt with the head of Xiuyun Pavilion, and knew that the ordinary embroidery sold in the pavilion was to purchase fine embroidery, one to earn the price difference, and the other to attract customers, killing two birds with one stone.
However, Xiuyun Pavilion has a fixed cooperative embroidery, and it is easy not to accept unfamiliar embroidery, for fear of ruining his own reputation, so Gu Qingyi specially put his handkerchief on it, so he could add some chips.
Sure enough, the moment he saw the handkerchief, the shopkeeper Xu's eyes lit up, and he secretly figured out Gu Qingyi's identity, and even looked up to Mrs. Li. In addition, her embroidery work is also good, with the intention of making friends, she did not refuse to leave, and said politely, "Little lady, this palace embroidered handkerchief is twelve taels, and the remaining seven taels, do you see if the price is satisfactory?" ”
It's two taels more than the Splendid Pavilion.
Gong embroidery cannot be learned by non-powerful families, Gu Qingyi knew that the other party had misunderstood her identity, but she did not debunk it, thanked her happily, and asked again, "Shopkeeper Xu, we have embroidery work in the future, can we sell it to you?" Or if you need any embroidery, just tell us and we will do our best and we will not let you down. ”
It's about seeking cooperation. After all, Xiuyun Pavilion's cooperative embroidery girl often undertakes some tedious and trivial tasks.
Shopkeeper Xu hesitated for a moment, "I can't be the master of this matter, I need to ask the lady in charge, but she is reporting to the owner at this time, and she can't be free, so please wait a little bit." ”
"Okay, I'm tired of asking the shopkeeper to deliver the message."
Shopkeeper Xu invited them to sit down on the embroidered couch in the inner room, poured tea, said a confession, and went up to the second floor. ”
She is not a person who does not know what to do, there are so many embroidery girls in the capital, and there are only a lot of people who throw stones to ask for directions every day, and the shopkeeper Xu can take care of her, all depending on Gu Qingyi's face.
"Sister Li, why do you have to see outside, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you and I live in the same hospital, and we should watch and help each other." Gu Qingyi didn't want her to have a psychological burden, so she explained, "It's also because of your outstanding embroidery skills, otherwise no matter how much I help, I won't be able to do anything." ”
Since being abandoned by Zhang Jingwen, Mrs. Li has tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, and even her family thinks she is ashamed, she has nowhere to go but to support herself in the nunnery, but she did not expect to meet a noble person for life in the cold and deserted nunnery. Whether it is Mrs. Zhou or Gu Qingyi, they are both affectionate and warm-blooded, and they are many times better than those who are good-looking. She is just a lowly cousin, how can she be cared for by them.
Thinking like this, her eyes were red, but she rejoiced in her heart, and secretly kept this friendship in her heart, and in the future, she had the opportunity to sing in the drama and literature, and repay each other with grass and grass, and live up to her kindness.
