She had inquired before, and it was said that a skilled embroiderer would sell her work for one or two taels of silver. She had also discussed with Madam Su that if she could sell it for one or two taels of silver, it would be fine. Unexpectedly, the price increased fivefold!
In this era, a bun cost three cents, one tael of silver was one thousand cents, ten taels of silver was ten thousand cents, and three thousand buns!
"Miss, I just calculated. You have ten small items and five large items, which totals to one hundred taels." Bai Muyang glanced at Shopkeeper Lin and said, "Lin Dong, give Miss Tang one hundred taels of silver."
Shopkeeper Lin immediately presented one hundred taels of silver.
This Mr. Bai is so generous!
Tang Li's favorable impression of Bai Muyang doubled. After accepting the silver, he said, "Master Bai, how about you give me a list of the embroidery you need and the delivery time, and I will deliver according to the list?"
Bai Muyang nodded: "Miss Tang is very thoughtful."
Bai Muyang asked Manager Lin to sort out the list while he chatted with Tang Li.
"Master Bai, you are not from Yaoshui Town?"
"How did Miss Tang see that?"
"Accent and conversation." Tang Li said.
"Miss Tang, guess where I'm from?"
Tang Li thought for a moment and asked, "Are you from Shangjing?"
Bai Muyang was really surprised: "How did you see that, young lady?"
"Your clothing style is very novel, it should be the current fashion. Shangjing must be the origin of the trend." Tang Li said, "But I haven't even been to Qinghe County, so I'm just guessing."
In fact, there is another reason. Tang Li remembered that in the original novel, the Bai family was the first imperial merchant and the richest family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He wondered if Bai Muyang had any relationship with the richest Bai family.
Bai Muyang chuckled, "Miss, you guessed right. I used to live in Shangjing, but due to health reasons, I planned to recuperate in Yaoshui Town for a while. It's my fate to meet you."
"It is my honor to meet such a distinguished figure as Mr. Bai."
Tang Li's words were not entirely compliments, but were somewhat sincere.
Bai Muyang was really good-looking, gentle and refined, a completely different kind of handsome compared to Wei Qing's wild and rough appearance. Both of them were uniquely handsome in this small town.
It is said that looking at handsome men can prolong life. Of course, it is an honor to be able to see a handsome man.
"I live in Bai Mansion, east of Yaoshui Town. If you need to make an order, please contact me directly."
The two chatted for a while, and then Tangli said goodbye.
Bai Muyang smiled and watched her leave.
"This little girl is quite interesting." Bai Muyang said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Lin was a little surprised. He had been with Master Bai for quite a long time. Master Bai grew up in Beijing and was surrounded by many beautiful young ladies. Master Bai was always cold and indifferent to those girls. This was the first time he heard Master Bai say that a girl was interesting.
There was a noise outside. Manager Lin went out to take a look and came back soon.
"Master Bai, it's Bai San. He said he's getting married next month. I wonder if you're free to attend his wedding banquet?"
Bai Muyang is the direct descendant of the Bai family in Shangjing, and this Bai San is the Bai San of the Bai family in Yaoshui Town. He is a branch of the Bai family, and a branch with extremely distant blood relationship.
When the Bai family in Yaoshui Town heard that Bai Muyang was coming, they couldn't wait to curry favor with him. If they could invite Mr. Bai to the wedding banquet, it would be such an honor!
"Bai San?"
As soon as Bai Muyang arrived in Yaoshui Town, the Bai family went to greet him. He thought for a long time before he remembered Bai San and was a little surprised.
"He's not married yet?"
He thought that Bai San looked quite old, with white hair and wrinkles on his face, but he was still not married?
"Master Bai, um, it's actually the second wife... He's waiting outside, do you want to see him?"
"Sent him away."
Bai Muyang waved his hand lazily. He would not waste his time on meaningless things.
…
Tang Li rushed home with a hundred taels of silver in his pocket, his feet flying and his face full of joy and excitement.
It was the first time she had seen so much silver since she came to this world!
A full one hundred taels!
Even if it wasn't all hers, but at this moment, with it in her arms, she felt like a wealthy woman!
It feels so good to be rich. She wants to make more and more money!
Tangli walked faster than usual. When the sun was still a long way from the west mountain, she hurried back to the village.
She first went to Doctor Su's house and gave fifty taels of silver to Mrs. Su. She also bought needlework, fabrics, and some food, and gave them all to Mrs. Su.
Fu Qing held the fifty taels of silver in his hand, unable to recover for a long time.
She actually made money!
She is no longer a useless person who only drags down her husband!
In fact, over the years, she had thought countless times about banging her head against the wall and dying, so as not to drag her husband down! However, her husband seemed to see through her intentions and said that if she didn't live, he would die with her. Fu Qing could only suppress this thought.
Now that her condition has improved, she can earn money.
Fu Qing looked outside the door. It was no longer dark and gloomy. She saw the sunshine...
Tangli returned home.
Erbao and Sanbao are at home, while Dabao and Xu Jue have gone out to collect grass for the pigs.
Seeing her come back, Erbao and Sanbao immediately surrounded her.
The two little radish-heads tilted their heads up to look at her and said in a baby voice, "Mommy, the babies miss you so much~"
Tangli took out two strings of candied haws from the package and handed them to the two babies, whose eyes immediately lit up.
The third baby was young and very clingy. He held a candied haws in one hand and pulled the corner of Tangli's clothes with the other, and followed her into the room.
The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and Wei Qing was doing exercises with his legs propped up.
He wore a thin shirt, his hands braced against the wall, doing pull-ups. His arm muscles bulged, demonstrating his immense strength. His honey-colored skin was beaded with sweat. He could even move his injured leg in small arcs; it seemed the medicine and Dr. Su's acupuncture had been effective.
Wei Qing supported himself and turned his head to look at her, a hint of tenderness showing on his rough and wild face.
"Wife, are you back?"
"I'm back. The situation in town is much better. There's meat to sell! I've made money. I'll make braised pork as an extra meal tonight!" Tang Li said happily.
"One more thing. I was outside a shop today, and guess who I saw?" Tang Li gossiped. "It was Mr. Bai, the Third Master that Chen Xiaocui was going to marry! Mr. Bai looked to be in his forties or fifties, but I didn't expect Chen Xiaocui would be into this type of guy!"
The thing was, when Tang Li came out of the inner hall of the Weaver Girl Shop, she saw a man standing in the shop waiting. The man was in his forties or fifties, with half white hair. He looked at her with a lustful look that made her feel sick.
Tang Li turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard Manager Lin talking to him.
Mr. Bai San, you are about to get married...
After connecting a few key words, Tang Li realized that this person was the one Chen Xiaocui was going to marry!
Tang Li suppressed her nausea and took another look. Seeing the sparse hair and the big yellow teeth, she couldn't help but think, Chen Xiaocui has a really strong taste!
