Chapter 188 Gu Dajiang Did Not Meet General Xu
To show her sincerity, Miao took out more than a dozen clothing designs she had designed and handed them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he took it and looked at it. He quickly folded it up and put it in his sleeve pocket.
With a big smile on his face, he said to Miao: "My dear sister, meeting you is like picking up a treasure. If you have any good things, please take them out quickly so that I can have a good look."
When Miao heard her say this, she also responded with a smile: "Yes, there are some embroidery works, which were embroidered by my eldest sister-in-law. Zhiying, open them quickly and take them out to show the shopkeeper."
"Oh, sister, I call you sister now, so don't be so formal and call me shopkeeper. My last name is Mei, so you can call me Sister Mei." Shopkeeper Mei said with a smile while holding Miao's hand.
"Okay, Sister Mei." Miao also responded readily with a smile.
While the two were talking, Gu Fu had already released his mental power to quietly put the embroidery work done by his aunt-in-law into the box.
The embroidery pieces in the box were placed one by one on the display shelves by Zhiying and the female employees in the store.
Jiang took out ten pieces of embroidery and gave them to her niece to sell.
Fortunately, the hall of the embroidery shop was spacious enough. It was still early and no customers came for the time being, so the shop assistants displayed all the embroidery works in the hall.
When the shopkeeper heard the clerk report that everything was ready, he pulled Miao to go and see.
When the shopkeeper saw the several embroidery works scattered in the hall, his eyes lit up. Looking at them one by one, there were flower seas and peach forests, fairy palaces and domes, mountains and rivers, fertile fields, galloping horses, and vast snowfields...
Looking at the embroidery in front of him, he felt as if he were actually there. The shopkeeper looked at the painting of the celestial palace and couldn't help but say, "There is such a beautiful and exquisite house. I guess the heavenly palace must be like this."
When he saw the sea of flowers in the peach forest, he was shocked when he looked carefully, and he liked Miao even more.
If the rumors are true, the house in the peach blossom forest should be made of priceless colored glaze. According to the rumors, colored glaze is a transparent substance.
I have only heard of it, never seen it, and it is not available in the market. I didn't expect to see a house made of colored glaze on this embroidery. What a wealthy family this must be!
In addition, there are so many layers of pink, and the colors of the embroidery threads on each piece are so realistic and in line with the situation. I think this is also the reason why these embroidery works can make people feel as if they are in the scene.
The show method is also very special, with a sense of layering and three-dimensionality.
Shopkeeper Mei was more and more surprised as she looked at it. "Sister, are all these embroidery works embroidered by your sister-in-law?"
"Yes, Sister Mei."
"Sister, where did you buy this embroidery thread? With just one color, there are so many layers, especially the peach blossoms and the snowy plains, which have distinct layers and make people feel as if they are there. This is the first time I have seen a single color embroidered so brilliantly. Dear sister, if you know, please tell me!"
After hearing this, Miao smiled and said, "Sister Mei, this embroidery thread cannot be bought anywhere else. It was dyed by my eldest sister-in-law herself according to her own embroidery needs."
"Ah! Your sister-in-law has such a talent! Sister, can you help me introduce her to someone?" Shopkeeper Mei asked excitedly, holding Miao's hand.
"Sister Mei, I also want to introduce you, but my sister-in-law didn't come with us this time. I'll ask her what she thinks after I go back." Miao patted Shopkeeper Mei's hand and said.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, sister."
"Easy to say."
After the two of them made an agreement, Shopkeeper Mei began to look at the embroidery carefully again. The more he looked, the more he felt that each piece was exquisite, so he bought all of them at the price of fifty taels each.
The transaction was completed, and the few people exchanged pleasantries for a while. The store began to receive customers, so Miao took Gu Fu, Zhiying and Zhiling out of the shop and went to the next one.
The perfumed soaps, scented soaps, and shampoo and conditioner sets previously made by the women and children in the valley were sold to the cosmetics shops in the city.
She sold the soap to a rouge shop in the city at the price of 200 wen per piece, 500 wen per piece of perfumed soap, and 2 liang per set of shampoo and conditioner sets, and obtained the long-term cooperation requested by the shopkeeper.
However, Miao Shi did not agree for the time being. Firstly, the business was now given to the women in the valley, and secondly, she did not know how much the women in the valley could make in a day. It was not easy to make the decision without authorization.
After the two men sold all the miscellaneous women's products, it was time for lunch, so they planned to go back to the inn first.
Gu Dajiang asked his waiter for directions early in the morning, and arrived at General Zhenwei's mansion with an iron plate.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he showed the iron plate to the gatekeeper and told his home address. He was immediately and politely led into the mansion.
The general's mansion is inhabited by guards, so the house is square and simple. When you enter the front yard, you don't see any gardens or rocks, but a martial arts field.
Gu Dajiang and Zhixing were led to the living room. After the servant served tea, the housekeeper came out to receive Gu Dajiang.
"Mr. Gu, you are polite!" The butler saluted to Gu Dajiang.
"Butler, there's no need to be so polite. May I know if General Xu is here?" Gu Dajiang asked.
"Sir, you may not know that my general went to the battlefield with the royal army years ago. However, when the general returned home, he told us about the iron plate. If someone with the iron plate comes to visit, we must help them no matter what the problem is. I wonder what happened to you when you came here?" The housekeeper said to Gu Dajiang.
When Gu Dajiang learned that General Xu had gone to the battlefield, he thought that even if the horse was sent to him, he would not be able to handle it properly, not to mention that he did not bring the horse with him when he left the valley this time.
He put aside the matter of the horse and said, "No, I just came to Zesheng County and wanted to visit the general. Since the general is not here, I will go back first."
"Since you are here, please have lunch in the mansion. Otherwise, when my general comes back, you will blame me for not welcoming him properly."
"You're welcome, butler. We have a long way to go. My wife and nephews and nieces are still at the inn, so I won't bother you any more."
After saying this, Gu Dajiang said goodbye to the housekeeper and left the general's mansion.
Song Renjing, on his side, used his lightness skills to quietly arrive at Prince Li's mansion.
When he arrived at the door of the study, he was seen by the servant and immediately stopped. "Who are you? Who let you in?"
"It's me." Song Renjing turned around and replied.
When the servant saw the man's face clearly, he immediately knelt down, "Your Highness? I pay my respects to Your Highness. I didn't know Your Highness was coming. I'm damned! I'll go and inform the prince right away.
After the servant kowtowed repeatedly, he hurriedly retreated to report to King Li.
Prince Li had just finished his breakfast when he heard the servant's report. He was speechless about this unconventional grandson of the emperor.
Although he was complaining in his heart, he still ordered the secret guard: "Can you still contact the secret guard who came to report to my palace a few days ago?"
"Your Highness, I can contact you. What do you want me to do?" asked the secret guard.
"Go and inform him to wait in the palace," Prince Li ordered.
"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and left. Prince Li then went to the study to see Song Renjing.
