Walking out of the Lujia Clothing Store, Qing Pheasant couldn't help but cheer.
Qixing smiled slightly.
"Miss, do you really know how to look after accounts?" Qing Zhi asked.
In the Lu family's shop, she will be a calm maid who has seen the world, and now she can express her wonder as much as she wants.
She didn't know that the young lady could read accounts. Is this also related to dexterity?
Qixing said: "At home, my mother often had to check the accounts. I watched a lot and learned a lot."
The young lady’s mother still has to take care of the accounts because she runs a carpentry business, right? Qingzhi was surprised and understood.
"Yes, my mother and father are both extraordinary blacksmiths and carpenters." She nodded and said, "The family's business must be very big."
Qixing smiled and nodded: "The family fortune is not small."
Qing Pheasant caressed his palms and sighed in his heart. It's a pity that his parents are gone, and so is the family fortune. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the den of evil spirits like the Lu family.
"Miss, do you think the shopkeeper will convey this to Mr. Lu, and whether Mr. Lu is willing to give us money for the congratulations?" Qing Zhi asked bitterly.
"Yes, the shopkeeper doesn't want to be pressed by me." Qixing said, "As for Mr. Lu, he should know that if he doesn't deliver it to me, I will come to pick it up myself."
Qing Pheasant raised his eyebrows: "Then Mr. Lu doesn't want to bother you, Miss, to make a trip."
The master and servant looked at each other and laughed together.
"However, I'm still angry." Qingzhi sighed again and continued to move forward with the lady.
It was actually expected that Mr. Lu San would be able to go to high school.
Third Young Master Lu was indeed an outstanding young master, but when she heard the news, she did not feel any pity at all. She would no longer regret that the young lady did not marry Third Young Master Lu and become a member of the Lu family. She just felt angry.
Why can't the Lu family be unlucky?
The elders of the Lu family have done evil, but the son is still rising rapidly, but the young lady can only get some money.
"Miss, if you ask for more money, just to share the joy, let the master give me another shop." Qing Zhi said sternly.
Qixing said: "If you need money, you need it."
"Act within your ability." Qing Zhi took over.
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled again.
"Don't be angry." Qixing said with a smile, "Taking advantage doesn't necessarily mean taking advantage, and losing money doesn't necessarily mean losing."
Qingzhi nodded: "What the lady says is whatever she says. I can rest assured whatever the lady does."
At this time, they had already arrived in front of Linglongfang, and the female clerk in the store greeted them with a smile: "So happy?"
Qing Pheasant smiled at her and said, "It's a happy event for my young lady."
Before the female waiter could ask about the happy event, Qing Zhi had already pulled her and handed her a bag of candies: "Auntie, try the ginger candies I just bought on the street. Didn't you have a cough two days ago? Eat this.
It can be better."
The female waiter even smiled: "Thank you so much, Xiaoqing, you still remember."
"Miss, go and get busy." Qingzhi said to Qixing, handing a small cloth bag he was carrying to Qixing, "I'll help Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Where can I use your help?"
Just like in the Lu family, the foster girl can't really have a maid to take care of her. She combs her hair, embroiders and tailors clothes, while Qing Pheasant works as a rough hand everywhere. Now in Linglongfang, the embroiderer can't have a maid to take care of her. She does embroidery, and Qing Pheasant does the work.
In the embroidery workshop, help welcome guests, serve tea and pour water.
But what is different from the Lu family is the mentality.
Qing Pheasant took Aunt Liu's arm and said, "Auntie, just take it as a favor and teach me how to introduce fabrics."
Aunt Liu was more cheerful, and she really taught her, and no longer asked what kind of happy event Qixing had encountered.
The seven stars went inward.
"Ah Qi is here." The maid inside greeted warmly, "Hurry and go to the living room, Mrs. Yang is waiting for you."
After talking and leading the way, Madam Dong had already raised the curtain and came out personally before going to open the curtain.
"Ah Qi is here." She said with a smile, "Mrs. Yang has been waiting for you for a long time."
Qixing followed her in and saw Mrs. Yang sitting and drinking tea surrounded by four maids.
"Mrs. Yang." Qixing saluted.
Mrs. Yang nodded and asked, "Let me see the progress."
Qixing opened the cloth bag he brought in and took out a drawing: "This is the colored pattern."
Mrs. Yang looked at the drawings, her originally distant expression softened a bit: "Your painting skills are good, and your color matching is also exquisite."
Qixing took out another shawl and said, "Madam, try this first."
Mrs. Yang stood up, and two maids hurriedly stepped forward to support her and show her.
"The embroidery is good." A smile appeared on Mrs. Yang's lips, she spread her arms, asked the maid to wrap the shawl around her, and walked to the full-length mirror.
Mrs. Dong herself held the round mirror behind her.
Mrs. Yang looked back and forth for a moment, then looked at Qixing: "Now I feel confident, so I won't rush you."
Although her attitude seemed arrogant, her words were undoubtedly appreciation.
Madam Dong smiled broadly: "Madam, don't worry, this unique dress will be delivered to your house on time."
Qixing also nodded.
Mrs. Yang, who was about to leave, hesitated: "I think you are a good painter. I have a painting brought by my mother-in-law. Maybe you can embroider it on your robe? I want to give it to my mother."
The patterns for embroidery are provided by embroidery shops. Of course, there are many embroiderers who can draw them themselves, but the patterns of painting are completely different from calligraphy and painting. Mrs. Yang married far away, and her natal family was in the capital and she was still an official.
A painting brought as a dowry from one's mother's family must be of extraordinary quality.
And I want to give it to my mother as a gift.
This business is not small.
Madam Dong didn't dare to take care of her. She looked at the seven stars out of the corner of her eye.
As she looked over, Qixing had already nodded: "Bring it to me and take a look."
She probably felt that what she said was not safe enough, so she added another sentence.
"I will embroider a small sample first and let Madam see if she is satisfied with it."
No, maybe I should say, let me try this, Mrs. Dong thought, maybe Miss Qixing's way of expressing my try is different from others.
Mrs. Yang was slightly startled, and she obviously felt the same.
She didn't have this idea originally. Even if she had, it should be after she got the dress and put it on and was very satisfied. But maybe it was because of the craftsmanship of this shawl, or maybe it was because of the calm look of the embroiderer, as if there was nothing in the world.
Things can't be done.
Mrs. Yang looked at the young girl and said, "Okay, I'll have the painting delivered, and then I'll keep you for the rest of this year."
She looked at Madam Dong again.
"Shopkeeper Dong, please give me a price."
Seven Stars curtsied and saluted.
Madam Dong smiled broadly again: "Don't worry, let's see her craftsmanship first."
Mrs. Yang walked out with a smile.
"Qixing, you don't have to worry about other things. Next, you can concentrate on Mrs. Yang's business." Madam Dong whispered to Qixing, "If you complete this order, your reputation will be famous not only in Xucheng, but also in the capital."
Already."
Of course, their Linglongfang is also famous, and they will be able to take orders from Beijing in the future.
She didn't dislike Qixing's slow embroidery work at all. One piece of embroidery work by Qixing was worth the profits of ten embroiderers.
After saying that, he hurriedly raised his feet and followed Mrs. Yang, her laughter falling like golden beads.
"Ma'am, please be careful on the steps."
"I will follow you back and personally pick up and deliver this painting to make sure it is safe."
