Marrying a village tyrant husband with space, being spoiled by the in-laws

Yun Rulan went straight to the wooden rack where the handkerchiefs were placed and carefully examined the handkerchiefs embroidered with poems.

Then he shook his head, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"It's the same few lines of poetry over and over again. I'm tired of reading them."

"Madam, don't think too much. There are only a few good poems, so naturally everyone will embroider them. Besides, there are so many ladies and young ladies at the garden party, it's impossible for everyone to be different."

The little girl was illiterate and thought that as long as it looked good, it was fine. No one would pay close attention to what was embroidered.

"Forget it, let's go."

There was a hint of disappointment in Yun Rulan's tone.

Yu Suihuan thought about it, picked up the handkerchief on the counter, and walked up to Yun Rulan.

"Madam, please wait a moment and take a look at this. This is a new handkerchief in our store. The poem embroidered on it is not seen anywhere else."

When Yun Rulan saw Yu Suihuan's face, she was surprised at first. The girl was dressed shabbily, but her face was really good-looking. Then she lowered her head to look at the handkerchief.

"Girl, can you let me take a closer look?"

Yun Rulan knew the material of the handkerchief was brocade gauze, which was not bad, and the pattern looked unique.

"Please take a look."

Yu Suihuan immediately offered it with both hands. Whether he could eat meat every day depended on whether he could seize this opportunity.

"The night comes wind and rain, Whispering Colour."

Yun Rulan read the poem on the handkerchief and savored it carefully.

"Wonderful, what a great poem. I have never heard of this line of poetry before. Miss, do you know who wrote it? Do you know who it is?"

People in this unknown dynasty were very keen on various poems, almost obsessed with them, from the powerful and wealthy to the humble.

Those famous courtesans in brothels would also compose beautiful poems into music and sing them, which were especially popular among princes, nobles, and sons of wealthy families.

Many ladies from prominent families would participate in large-scale poetry gatherings and look for husbands after taking the imperial examinations. There were many such scholars who were chosen by wealthy ladies because of their good poetry and literary talent.

"I didn't know that. I just happened to hear someone else read it and I wrote it down."

Yu Suihuan naturally didn't dare to tell the truth. If he said too much, it would be easy to be exposed, and who knows if there would be other troubles.

"So that's it."

There was a hint of loss in Yun Rulan's tone. The person who could write such a poem must be a very talented writer. It would be great if her husband could get to know him.

"Girl, how much is this handkerchief?"

It's a pity that I don't know the person who wrote this poem, but if I take this poem back to show my husband, he will definitely be happy.

"You need to ask the owner of the embroidery shop for the price. We are just embroiderers who cooperate with the embroidery shop for a long time."

Yu Suihuan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. She stopped the lady at that time just because she wanted to make the handkerchief sell better and the shopkeeper give her more silver.

"If Madam likes this handkerchief, it will cost five hundred coins."

Hui Niang had been standing behind the counter without anyone noticing. In fact, she had already come down when Yu Suihuan was still talking to Yun Rulan.

I kept silent just to see what this girl would say.

I didn't expect that this girl is so pretty and smart. Although her clothes are shabby, she is not petty at all. Her whole temperament shows that she is not an ordinary country girl.

"Xiao Cui gave the silver. If you have any new embroidery in the future, please ask someone to go to Chen Xueshi's house in East Street to pass on a message, saying that it was sent by the eldest young lady."

"Don't worry, Madam. If there are any new styles in the future, I will definitely send someone to deliver a letter to your house first."

Hui Niang's attitude immediately became more respectful. If anyone were to say which family in Qingshan Town had the most reputation, it would definitely be Scholar Chen.

I heard that he used to be a high-ranking official outside, and only returned to his hometown Qingshan Town to spend his remaining years after retirement. The Chen family is a large family, and there are many family members who are officials outside.

After Yun Rulan and the maid Xiao Cuiren left, Yu Suihuan turned his gaze to Hui Niang with a sincere tone.

"You were not here just now, so I took the initiative to stop you. Please don't blame me."

"Miss, you are too kind. If it weren't for you, our Yuanyang Embroidery House would not have been able to make this deal. This brocade yarn is a good thing, but the embroidery thread used on it is too ordinary."

"Boss, we are here to buy some good embroidery thread."

Chun Xing hurriedly stepped forward and said that she also knew that ordinary embroidery threads were not worthy of such good material, but all she had at home at the time were those ordinary embroidery threads.

"Can I ask how many handkerchiefs you have left?"

"There are a dozen more."

Yu Suihuan answered truthfully.

"I'll take all these handkerchiefs. Each one costs three hundred coins. You don't have to buy the embroidery thread. I'll provide it. What do you think?"

Chun Xing was stunned when she heard the price of three hundred coins. She thought the maximum she would get was more than two hundred coins.

Yu Suihuan didn’t quite understand, so he didn’t say anything for a while.

Hui Niang thought that the two were dissatisfied, so she continued.

"Although your brocade yarn is precious, the cost of a square handkerchief is only 150 coins. You can earn half of it by embroidering a square handkerchief."

The commercial tax in Hexi County is as high as 20%. I have to pay 100 wen of commercial tax for every 500 wen. Apart from labor, rent, embroidery thread, and other expenses, I don’t earn as much as you do.”

"The shopkeeper misunderstood. We were overly happy when we heard that you gave us too much."

Yu Suihuan didn't expect that he could sell so many. Three hundred coins each, so a dozen would be several taels of silver.

When they came out of the Yuanyang Embroidery Tower, the two of them received three hundred coins and a bag of fine embroidery thread.

On the balcony of the embroidered building, a woman in luxurious clothes looked at the two men's receding backs, gently waving the round fan in her hand.

Yu Suihuan was immersed in the joy of making money.

"Let's split Chun Xing's money equally, half each."

"No, that won't work. This is taking advantage of you. The fabric is yours, the pattern is yours, and I just put in some effort. How can I take so much? Normally, the most I can get is forty cents."

Chun Xing felt that she had gotten a great deal by being able to learn acupuncture, and she should know what was good for her.

"Then deduct the cost of 150 wen and divide the remaining 150 wen equally, 75 wen each. After you sell these ten handkerchiefs, you can embroider them yourself from now on, and I won't be involved."

Yu Suihuan was short of money now, so he had to shamelessly take more.

"Seventy-five coins is more than enough. With the needlework you taught me and those poems, I will be able to earn a lot in the future."

Chun Xing always felt that she had gotten a great deal.

The two of them were strolling and talking. Yu Suihuan was just about to ask where the store selling gold and silver jewelry was. After taking a look around, he saw a Zhang's Silver Shop not far ahead.

"Let's go over there and take a look."

Her eyes fell on the sign of the silver shop.

"They sell gold and silver jewelry there, but they are very expensive and we can't afford them."

Although the two of them had 300 coins, it was enough to buy some food, but it would be too much to buy jewelry.

"If we don't buy it, let's see what we are afraid of."

Yu Suihuan pulled Chun Xing inside. There were not many customers here, and everyone was dressed neatly and decently.

On the counter, each piece of jewelry has a small price tag to make it easier for customers to choose.

She looked at several gold ornaments of similar size to the gold pendant, most of which were worth around two or three taels of silver. She had an idea in her mind, so she asked the shop assistant.

"Excuse me, do you recycle gold pendants here?"

"Yes, according to the court's standards, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver. What do you want to sell?"

The young man was very enthusiastic.

"Take a look at this gold pendant of mine. How much silver can it be sold for?"

Yu Suihuan put his hand into the rags in the basket, actually taking the gold pendant out from the space.

"Please wait a moment. We will know the answer after we weigh it."
