"What's wrong? Are all the shops on the whole street closed? It doesn't matter. At worst we can just not go there. But don't worry, the Jinyulou will definitely not close, so we won't leave the city hungry." Mu Yingbao was not good at picking embroidery thread, but when he saw Tuzi's expression, he smiled and teased him.

Xue Wenyu did not scold Tuzi. Since his wife had spoken, he just listened.

"No, ma'am, it was the third prince who came to see you and said that the Queen Mother asked him to come and take a look." Tu Zi said.

Ah? Yes, it's already noon!

Mu Yingbao looked at Xue Wenyu, "How about we go eat first? Then continue our journey?"

Xue Wenyu wanted to tease her, but if he went shopping after eating, he would have no chance to meet her. After thinking for a while, he didn't say anything and nodded to his wife.

"Go tell the Third Prince that you can buy some embroidery thread here and then come over." Mu Yingbao instructed Tu Zi

Tuzi responded and turned to leave the shop. Mu Yingbao walked over to Nanzhu who had already turned to look at him. "It's okay. We don't need to rush. You can choose whatever you want."

"But, Madam, aren't you hungry?" Nanzhu asked. "Did you forget that I had some pastries before I left?" Mu Yingbao said with a smile. Nanzhu remembered and turned around to continue choosing the embroidery thread. The owner of the embroidery shop was stunned when she heard the conversation between Mu Yingbao and others. Xiao? The Third Prince

When they came, they had no intention of going out to meet. The Queen asked them to come and see? Jinyulou? Duibu, it was heard that the Queen had booked Jinyulou to entertain the Duke and his wife of Yan State.

But that's not right. It's already this hour, and these two are still hanging around. The Queen has sent the Third Prince to come and take a look, but Lady Yanguo is still not in a hurry and is asking the maid to continue choosing the embroidery thread?

This is, to let the Queen wait?

The lady boss was thinking, not to mention that the Queen is the mother of a country, even if he is the third prince, his status should be higher than that of the Duke and his wife, right?

However, these two didn't take it seriously at all.

"These, let's buy ten bundles of each kind." Nanzhu called the proprietress over and said, pointing at the sample threads she had picked out.

Although his wife just said that it wouldn't matter if she waited a little longer, Nanzhu didn't really intend to ignore the time.

"Girl, what did you say? Ten, ten bundles?" The boss's wife thought she had heard wrongly.

Embroidery threads were originally put in bundles, but if there were more, they would be put in bundles, which were divided into large, medium and small bundles. A small bundle had ten strands, a medium bundle had fifty strands, and a large bundle had one hundred strands.

After running the embroidery shop for so many years, even if the embroidery shop comes to buy in large quantities, they only buy medium-sized bundles of fifty threads at most.

These hundred bundles have never been reached.

As a result, the lady's maid just now actually said ten bundles?

Nanzhu nodded; "Yes, Factory 10, I picked out the best ones, ten bundles of each. Also, I think your embroidery needles are pretty good, give me a hundred of them."

"Okay, okay, wait a moment." The proprietress tried hard to calm herself down and be composed.

He turned around, opened the curtain of the inner door, and shouted, "Master, come out quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen rushed out.

He stared at Mu Yingbao and others nervously, protecting the proprietress behind him.

"Sir, take whatever you like, but don't hurt the child's mother." The man's voice trembled.

He was obviously very scared, but he still tried hard to stay strong.

Mu Yingbao and the others looked at the scene in silence, not knowing what to say.

In fact, when Xue Wenyu and Wen Xiaowu came in, they noticed that there were people behind the curtain of the inner door, and there was more than one person.

I had been prepared for this, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

"Boss, where is Xiao?" The boss' wife was also confused, and asked after she came to her senses.

"Shut up. I told you not to listen to my advice. You kept saying that the brave ones will die of overeating while the timid ones will die of starvation." The man said fiercely in a low voice.

Phew, Mu Yingbao couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this. This lady boss is really working hard for her business.

"Shi, you are talking nonsense. I called you out to help pick up the goods. This lady wants ten bundles of each of the threads she wants." The proprietress searched her husband and whispered to him.

The girl, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, also heard the conversation between her parents. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly hid the scissors behind her back.

"Really?" The man was a little unconvinced.

"Hey, you two, stop dawdling. The Queen is still waiting for this gentleman and his lady at the Jinyu Tower. Hurry up." The proprietress reminded anxiously.

When the man heard this, he said "oh" and quickly ran towards the inner door.

The girl was okay. Before she ran away, she remembered to go to the counter and take away the tray with the selected South Pearl threads.

"If I really want to do something to you, what can a pair of small scissors do?" Wen Xiaowu said when the girl passed by him. The girl was so scared that she walked into the door faster than her father.

"Ma'am, I'm so sorry." The proprietress said to Mu Yingbao very embarrassedly.

"It's okay, just settle the bill." Mu Yingbao said with a smile, how could she be angry with them over such a thing.

Upon hearing this, the proprietress immediately went behind the counter to settle the bill.

Nanzhu uses the best embroidery thread, which is also the most expensive. It costs more than one hundred taels of silver.

Wen Xiaowu went forward to pay the money without Mu Yingbao asking.

Soon, the father and daughter began to carry the embroidery thread out.

"Madam, please count and check." The man said in a low voice, not daring to raise his head.

"No need, there shouldn't be any problem. I believe you." Mu Yingbao said with a smile.

The man wrapped the embroidery thread with cotton cloth, muttering to himself, "My family is honest in business. Besides, who dares to play tricks on you?"

After the packaging was completed, Tuzi immediately came in and moved it out.

"Madam, this bag is a gift from our store. It's a new product from our store and we just started selling it." The proprietress handed another small bag to Nanzhu and said to Mu Yingbao.

"Okay, if we find it good, we will come to your house to buy it again." Mu Yingbao did not refuse this courtesy.

"That's a good idea, of course." The boss's wife was very happy to hear that.

The family of three was sent to the outside of the shop. They watched the Third Prince coming over and greet the Duke and his wife very respectfully. Then they watched the Duke of Yan help his wife get on the carriage and go to the direction of Jinyu Tower together.

"Look, it's right to listen to me, right? You are the one who is timid. If I had listened to you and closed the shop, I would have missed this big business. It would take a long time to sell a single business deal, just like on weekdays, when I sell a few strands at a time." Seeing the man walk away, the proprietress said to her husband very proudly.

"Okay, okay, ma'am, you're awesome, that's enough." The man breathed a sigh of relief and was not annoyed by what his wife said.

"You two heard it just now, right? The lady said that if the product is good, she will come to our shop again in the future." The proprietress continued proudly.

Upon hearing this, the man looked at his daughter, shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help but criticize her: "Are you stupid? They are from Yan State, and they live in the capital of Yan State. They are so far away from us. Would they come so far to buy our thread?"

"That's hard to say. His status is there. Once he has used good things, he will never look down on bad ones. Besides, he is not short of money." The proprietress still said confidently.

The man was too lazy to argue with his wife, and soon after, he realized how unreliable the saying "women have long hair but short knowledge" was.

Curious people on the street looked in the direction of Jinyu Tower.

In the capital, Emperor Zhou Hong also stood outside the imperial study, looking in one direction.
