"I originally did this in memory of my father, so naturally, I'm not in a hurry. I'll just take my time." Mu Yunyao's heart slightly moved. The fish had already taken the bait, so if she were to pull the fish up now, it was possible for her to break the fishing line. Thus, she couldn't be anxious. She put away the fishing line and let the fish take the bait.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this line?" I want to remember my father, so I naturally have to use the best items. Today, seeing how good these silk threads are, I'm afraid you won't have enough money to buy them all at once.
"Don't worry miss, you're so young and yet so filial, I can give you some silk, but these colours are also incomplete, I don't know how fast you can create the map, I want to see if you need me to hurry up and send them over."
I have followed my father and read the Mountain and River Diagram countless times, and I have memorized every bit of color and every line in it. If I were to rush through it, I would have completed it in less than two months.
"Is what the lady said true?" Although he had some doubts, but if he was serious about this, he might be able to accomplish something big."I venture to say, judging from the clothes of the girl and her two family members, they should be from an ordinary family. The high quality embroidery thread and the high quality embroidery cloth are worth a lot."
Mu Yunyao still had a smile on her face."Manager is right, so I plan to take my time and accumulate some silver to buy some embroidery threads. Slowly, I'll be able to finish the Mountain and River Diagram."
"I have a suggestion, girl. I can make the decision to give you the best embroidery thread and cloth."
Mu Yunyao's face immediately became guarded, "Shopkeeper, why are you so kind?"
Miss, don't worry. Speaking of which, the embroidery method for the flying needle painting has been lost for a long time, and today, I see that I love it in my heart. It just so happens that there is an elder at home celebrating his birthday.
"This is something I gave to my father. I don't want to sell it." If you are begging for money, why don't you let someone else come asking to buy it? Only then can you get a good price.
"I can understand lady's fist and heart, but if I were to use the best embroidery thread and cloth, the price would be too high. I am afraid that it would drag this lady down for many years. When the lady finished embroidering the Mountain and River Diagram, her heart was already full of filial piety. If you sell it to me at a high price, then you would be able to earn two taels of silver to allow your family to live a better life.
Mu Yunyao sized up this person. No wonder he was able to become the shopkeeper of the Spring Embroidery Workshop. His eloquence was enough to make him speechless."The shopkeeper's words are somewhat reasonable."
Seeing her waver, the shopkeeper's smile immediately widened."How about this, I can tell from the lady's character that she's definitely a person with a pure heart and keeps her promises. I'll pick out some embroidery threads first and help you send it home.
"This is too inappropriate."
"I have been the shopkeeper of the Spring Embroidery Workshop for many years. I have a good eye for people. I trust lady."Get on, two people. Go get the girl a carriage and place the embroidery threads and fine embroidered cloth on one of them. Help the girl bring it home."
"Manager, I really am ..." Mu Yunyao's face became even more unsettled.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper became more and more confident."It's alright, it's also fine. I just wanted to be on good terms with this lady." If he succeeded, then he would have accomplished a great deed. If he failed, then he would have someone to send him the address of this girl. It would be easy for him to deal with a village girl.
Mu Yunyao, Su Qing, and the Yang family were passionately escorted to the carriage by the shopkeeper. It wasn't until they were outside the city gate that Su Qing and the Yang family finally regained their senses.
"Yun Yao, you little girl, you ......" "This is ..." Lady Yang's eyes were filled with amazement as she sized up Mu Yunyao. She couldn't imagine how that little girl, who had been crying a few days ago, had suddenly turned into someone she couldn't understand in the blink of an eye. When she heard the conversation between her and the shopkeeper, she didn't understand. She felt that every sentence had a deeper meaning.
Su Qing nervously held Mu Yunyao's hand. She couldn't help but worry in her heart. Although she had heard about the strange dream and the things she had learned in the dream, her worry did not decrease. Instead, it only increased.
Mu Yunyao secretly squeezed Su Qing's hand, then raised her head with a bashful smile as she let out a heavy sigh of relief, "Aunt, I also saw the embroidery method in Father's book. After secretly practicing it for a while, I realized that it wasn't too difficult. When I was at the Spring Embroidery Workshop just now, I wasn't very confident. I only wanted to be calm and steady so that I wouldn't be looked down upon by others."Don't laugh at me, aunt."
"Little girl, you really are worthy of being your father's student. However, since that shopkeeper gave you the thread, you won't come back to cause trouble again, right? "
"The Spring Embroidery Workshop is quite big. I don't think that they would bother with a little girl like me."
After notifying his husband at the gate of the city, the group of people returned to the Weir Village.
Many people were surprised when they saw the carriage enter the village. When they saw the box of gorgeous silk that was carried down from the carriage, they were even more amazed.
Without waiting for Mu Yunyao to say anything, Mistress Yang first told her about the matters of the Spring Embroidery Workshop, causing everyone to feel dizzy when they heard it.
When Mu Yunyao began her needlework, the village's wives and maidens came in a pile. There wasn't even a place to stand in the courtyard.
The Yang family had a better relationship with Su Qing these few days. They stood beside Su Qing, blocking her way, "Don't push. These silk and cloth are very expensive. The shopkeeper of the Spring Embroidery Workshop will come back to buy them. You can't afford to dirty them."
Everyone quieted down when they heard this, but their eyes were still fixated on Mu Yunyao's hand.
"Oh, is this a needle? No matter how much I look at it, I feel dizzy, just like that hair! "
"With your big, thick hands, you can still hold the brooch with the sole of your shoe. Don't even think about holding the brooch in your hand."
"I can't do this, I can't watch this. I've just had my fill of fun. When I get out of here, I can talk to others."
Originally, they weren't too happy about Mu Yunyao getting the thread for free, but after seeing her work, the villagers all gave up on that idea. Was that embroidery? That would simply be killing them!
The embroidery needles were like strands of hair, the embroidery threads were even thinner than a strand of hair. Mu Yunyao held the embroidery cloth tightly in place and fluttered her fingers, causing people to be dazzled. The embroidered cloth looked blank, and in the blink of an eye, there were many colors added on it.
At first, these people were still full of interest, but after two days, they gradually lost interest. There wasn't much time left for Dong Ri to rest. In the beginning of spring, they had to clean up the land. They also didn't have much time to waste.
On the other hand, the Yang family, seeing that Su Qing was so busy helping Mu Yunyao that she couldn't even eat food, decided to make more and bring it over to the two of them.
