Chapter 100 Picking up Silver

When Li Dong gave Zhang Juexia the silver, he reminded her, "Soap is a product that is used a lot by wealthy families. If the workmanship is more refined and there are more patterns, the price can be much higher."

"Brother Li, if I meet that vendor again and take some more from him, can you still help me sell them?

You know we're short of money, so we're looking for ways to make money."

"Sure, I'll take whatever you have. I've been doing business with your brother Zhao Long for so many years, so I know some connections."

"Thank you, Brother Li."

Li Dong stood at the door of the inn until Zhang Juexia's carriage disappeared from view, then he entered the guest room.

When Zhang Juexia passed by Yao's cloth shop, she stopped her carriage. When Manager Yao saw that it was her, he quickly went out to greet her.

"It's been a while since you've brought me any knitted threads. You don't know how good your craftsmanship is. A customer even asked about it today."

"I've been busy lately and haven't had time to do it."

"Miss Ye, let's discuss something. You don't have time to do it, but others do. How about you take some time to teach my embroiderers?"

Before Zhang Juexia could reply, Manager Yao hurriedly added, "It's not for nothing. I'll pay you."

"Let me think about this. My eldest sister-in-law and my younger sister are also learning. Shopkeeper Yao, I came here today to ask if you have any gloves for sale in your store."

Shopkeeper Yao was also confused. "Ms. Ye, what? What are gloves?"

Zhang Juexia sighed helplessly, "It's just cold, I wear it on my hands to keep warm."

"It's cold, and the ladies in our town all use hand warmers to keep warm. I've never heard of that thing you're talking about."

Zhang Juexia felt that there was no point in saying more, and thought that since he had ready-made cotton cloth at home, he might as well buy some cotton and go home to make it.

She thought back to the last time when guests came to her house and she was in such a predicament without a quilt. "Manager Yao, please bring me ten kilograms of cotton and have the waiter put it on the carriage.

Let’s make a deal first, let’s keep the same price as last time! Don’t raise the price for me.”

"Well, I can't make a penny from you."

"How could that be possible? Who doesn't make money running a business?"

Zhang Juexia took out the modified purse he had made and said, "Shopkeeper Yao, take a look at this. Do you need it?"

Shopkeeper Yao picked it up and examined it carefully. "This is a rare item. If the color were brighter, the ladies would probably like it."

Zhang Juexia pulled Manager Yao to the front of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and pointed at the pieces of silk and satin. "How do you like the color?"

Shopkeeper Yao was really shocked by what was in Zhang Juexia's carriage, "You, this..."

"Shopkeeper Yao, just tell me if this color is okay?"

"Of course I can. But it would be a waste to make a purse out of this material."

"Then using this material, can this purse be sold at a good price?"

"Of course I can!"

"If I do it, how much will you charge me?"

Shopkeeper Yao's eyes turned, his brows furrowed, and he thought for a long time.

Zhang Juexia was a little anxious. "I have to rush and don't have time to play tricks with you. Just name a price. If I think it's not suitable, I'll go to Shunhe County and ask. Anyway, I'll sell it to whoever offers me the highest price."

"One hundred coins each."

"Two hundred wen."

Shopkeeper Yao did not reply.

Zhang Juexia drove off in his carriage, "These are all made of top-quality materials, and they also require meticulous craftsmanship. Even a fraction less will do."

Manager Yao quickly grabbed her and said, "Auntie, I know you are capable, but you have to listen to me.

Two hundred wen is two hundred wen, but you have to deliver the goods to me one month before the New Year.

It's almost the end of the year, so I should earn some money for the New Year."

"become."

Zhang Juexia drove away in the carriage without looking back.

Shopkeeper Yao watched the carriage departing and muttered, "She looks a bit like your mother, just like her. She's got that same personality. They're both quick-tempered, but your mother isn't as cunning as you think."

Zhang Juexia felt that she had stayed in the town for too long, and she was worried that the road would be unsafe after dark.

"Ahua, we have to hurry up."

Ah Hua seemed to understand what she said, and her pace was much faster than before. "Yes, that's it. It will be dark soon, and we may not even be able to see the way home."

Ahua hurried forward, and Zhang Juexia leaned on the carriage, thinking about some things that happened during the day.

It was unknown whether Qian Yulin's words were true or not. The original owner only had vague memories of the other members of the Liu family, but he still had some impression of Liu Sanle in his mind.

The mothers of both sides often play together, so the children naturally become close.

However, after the original owner's mother died, the two families rarely had any contact.

Zhang Juexia leaned forward and suddenly remembered something. Mrs. Liu should have known the original owner, so why didn't she recognize Zhang Qiuye when the two families were discussing marriage?

Could this be what the Liu family did on purpose?

But why do they do this?

It was just as Qian Yulin said, for the sake of his family's reputation.

But if Liu Sanle divorced his wife after marrying her and remarried, his reputation would be improved.

Zhang Juexia felt that it was a waste of her brain, but fortunately she was forced by Tian Caihong to marry Ye Beixiu.

Thinking of Ye Beixiu, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

After this period of contact, she has indeed fallen in love with this man.

She first accepted the man's looks, and then was conquered by his character.

To be honest, it was rare to meet such a responsible man in ancient times who did not have any chauvinistic ideas.

Ah Hua braked suddenly and almost threw her off the carriage.

"Ahua, what's wrong?"

Ah Hua's four hooves kicked around everywhere, refusing to move forward.

"Ahua, be good. Although I'm a bit braver than most people, there are deep mountains and old forests everywhere. It's getting dark soon, and I'm scared too! Let's go quickly!"

Ah Hua screamed loudly towards the sky and refused to move forward.

Zhang Juexia had no choice but to get off the carriage and look around. "From now on, I will never drive a carriage alone again. Anyone who goes out again is a fool."

She muttered as she bravely looked around.

There was a sea of ​​white in front of her. She closed her eyes and opened them again, and it was still a sea of ​​white.

She rubbed her eyes with her hands and leaned forward, "Oh my god, why is there so much silver?"

Ten shiny silver ingots were lying on the ground.

Zhang Juexia quickly looked around, but there was no one in sight. The cold wind blew past her ears, making them hurt.

Ah Hua was getting impatient waiting, so she pushed her mouth towards her, signaling her to leave quickly.

Zhang Juexia hardened his heart and wrapped up the silver and put it on the carriage. "Anyone who sees the silver and doesn't take it is a fool."

She got on the carriage and Ah Hua galloped away again.

But Zhang Juexia was feeling very nervous.
