Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 24



"Yao'er, what are you doing?"

"Mother, let's go to Yan City to buy something." She already had a plan for this first sum of money. Now, she would first make a trip for it.

Su Qing couldn't stop her, so she could only accompany her as she walked forward.

"Aunt Yang, do you want to go to Yan City?" Mu Yunyao asked in a clear voice when she saw the Yang Family.

"What are you two doing in Yan City in such a cold weather?"

"Mother and I thought of ways to make money, so we decided to make a trip. Aunty, let's go together." Mistress Yang and her mother had a good relationship, and as long as it was within her capabilities, she was willing to help.

Mistress Yang thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I will go with you two. "Don't just stand there. Wait a minute, I'll tell your Uncle Yang to go to Li Zheng's house and borrow that little hairy stove. Let's take a donkey cart."

Seeing Mistress Yang's expression, Mu Yunyao knew that she didn't believe what she said about earning money. However, she wasn't at ease with the two of them and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. "Alright, thank you, Aunt."

The husband of the Yang family was silent. He didn't make a sound even while driving the donkey cart. On the other hand, the Yang family and Su Qing chatted very intimately.

When they arrived at Yan City, Mu Yunyao didn't loiter around and headed straight for the largest Spring Embroidery Workshop.

Looking at the people entering and exiting the Spring Embroidery Workshop, Mistress Yang's heart was nervous. Those people's clothes were sparkling, if they were to go in and dirty them, they couldn't afford to pay: "Yunyao, the things here are all very expensive, we can't afford them."

"Don't worry, Aunty. Sometimes you don't need to spend money to buy things." Although she had a few dozen taels of silver on her hands, if she were to throw them into the Spring Embroidery Workshop, she would not be able to buy even a single thread.

The shopkeeper of the Spring Embroidery Workshop was in the middle of settling accounts. Hearing this, he could not help but look over curiously. Their Spring Embroidery Workshop had been in business for over a hundred years and was one of the best in the entire Dali Country.

Looking at Mu Yunyao, he couldn't help but be startled. What a young lady. If it wasn't for the fact that she was wearing a coarse cloth dress, he would have suspected that she was from the Shangguan Family. "This lady, are you here to buy silk?"

"Not bad, I want the biggest embroidery frame, the best thread, and all kinds of colors."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but become even more curious, "The biggest embroidery stand is very big. Why do you want it?"

"Of course it's embroidery."

"Hehe, young lady, this embroidery rack, coupled with the various colored complete silk that you mentioned, is not cheap." The shopkeeper looked at the nervous expression on the Yang family and Su Qing's faces. These two didn't seem like rich people!

"The shopkeeper is not going to sell. If you are not going to sell, it would be the same if I go to the Rainbow Moon Pavilion across the street." Noticing that the shopkeeper's gaze made Su Qing even more uncomfortable, Mu Yunyao was instantly annoyed in her heart. She said that and was about to leave.

"Miss, wait a minute," the shopkeeper called out to stop her. He didn't know why, but the imposing little girl in front of him always made him feel afraid to look down on her, "These kinds of threads are very heavy. Miss, please follow me upstairs to take a look." Forget it, let's just treat it as him being in a good mood today and forming a good relationship with him.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before following behind the manager.

When she opened the door to her room upstairs, she could smell the unique scent of silk, leaving her dumbstruck.

Mu Yunyao's gaze, however, fell on the rows of embroidery threads hanging from the wooden poles, "Shopkeeper, although you have a lot of these embroidery threads, they aren't completely colored."

"Isn't that all?" The shopkeeper frowned. Could this girl be here to cause trouble?

"Simply speaking of this red, you have positive red, jujube red, rose red, pink, and water red, but you lack the silver and magenta colors. Am I wrong?"

"This... "Silvery red and magenta are actually similar to red and rose red, and most people use them sparingly, so …"

"So many?" The shopkeeper was surprised, "Miss, you even wrote bright yellow. This bright yellow is close to bright yellow. No silk shop would dare to sell it to you." That was against the rules, and being caught by the officials was a huge crime. The officials didn't want to hear any explanation. After all, it didn't look like it was the same.

"Then Shopkeeper, are you selling bright yellow silk to me?"

"Not for sale." The shopkeeper was filled with regret. If he had known this girl was only here to cause trouble, he wouldn't have wasted this time.

Mu Yunyao slightly smiled and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. "Shopkeeper, please take a look first."

"What's so good about this handkerchief …" "This..." The shopkeeper glanced at it and immediately reached out and took it. He put the handkerchief in his hand and carefully looked at it. He even unconsciously took two steps towards the window, "Is this the lost needle technique?"

"Manager has good eyesight. It's just that the embroidery cloth is rough and the embroidery needles are not suitable. I can barely see it."

The shopkeeper carefully observed the embroidery butterfly on his handkerchief over and over again, carefully touching it with his fingers: "The flying needles' embroidery technique can split silk into fine strands over hair, and the needle is like a strand of silk, matching color is unique, thus it can be dyed into a piece of paper with a single touch, and all the feathers and flowers are exquisite, all the characters in the mountains and rivers can be seen vividly."

Mu Yunyao smiled. "I want to embroider a painting. I wonder if shopkeeper is willing to sell me some threads?"

The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles as he looked at Mu Yunyao as if she was a golden doll. "Miss and the two madam, you've been standing here for a long time, so I think you're tired. How about having a cup of tea and resting in the tea room? I'll get someone to prepare the thread that the girl needs. "

Mu Yunyao's eyes flashed before she nodded, "Alright."

The shopkeeper immediately ordered people to serve him good tea and snacks. As he spoke, he carefully probed the history of the embroidery techniques.

Mu Yunyao smiled. Although it seemed simple, she didn't reveal any useful information. After a while, all sorts of threads were sent over, and the quality was two levels better than what she had seen just now. "Shopkeeper, how much silver are these threads?"

"Excuse me, may I ask what kind of masterpiece this lady would like to weave that would require so much silk?"

"When father was alive, he loved to draw, and felt that the drawing paper was too thin to be preserved for long, so he felt regret. Now that father is dead, I want to carve out his favorite brocade mountain and river diagram. "

"Oh, I wonder how the specifications are?"

"If it was embroidered according to the original size of the painting, it would be around six feet long and five feet tall."

"The embroidery process is extremely meticulous. Just a single flying bird would require seven to eight days. I wonder how long it would take for the lady to embroider such a large piece?"

"I have plenty of time, I can slowly embroider it." Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes, seemingly interested in the pastries on the table as she slowly picked one up to taste. Her appearance was beautiful and her every movement carried a bit of unrestrained behavior, only giving people the feeling that she was of a pure temperament.

"How long will it take for the girl to finish her masterpiece if she is in a hurry?" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was a bit nervous. If he could complete it in a short period of time, he might even be able to reap great rewards!
