Su Huaiyue was preparing to close the stall. While carefully organizing the scattered fabrics and decorations, she was thinking about tomorrow's plans in her mind.
At this time, a well-dressed maid hurried over and said breathlessly: "Sister, please wait a moment, our lady wants to buy some bags from you."
Su Huaiyue raised her head slightly and noticed a hint of anxiety and restraint in the maid's expression.
She smiled politely and explained, "All the bags are sold out today. However, you can tell my wife that if she has any special preferences, I can customize it for her."
Upon hearing this, the maid nodded with an apologetic look, then a hint of excitement, "Okay, I'll go and reply right away."
Su Huaiyue nodded and watched the maid trot away.
Wei Yunrou came over and whispered, "Looking at the maid's attire, I'm sure this lady is no ordinary person."
"That's true."
Su Huaiyue replied while packing up, with a leisurely smile on her face, "However, no matter what her status is, as long as she is interested in my craftsmanship, it's fine."
Not far away, an elegant carriage stopped at the end of the street, and the maid leaned close to the window and reported in a low voice.
After a while, she hurried back to Su Huaiyue's stall, her tone particularly polite: "My wife said that she is very interested in your craftsmanship and hopes to discuss it with you in detail in the carriage."
Su Huaiyue was slightly stunned. She wanted to politely decline the maid's invitation.
However, at this moment she overheard the gossip of street vendors.
"Look, isn't this the maid from Liu Dafu's family?"
"Of course he is. His family has a big grain business. I guess he's here to buy some things. He's rich, so he's so impressive. Look at how luxurious his carriage is."
These words floated past Su Huaiyue's ears, and she couldn't help but stop her words that were about to refuse.
Liu Dafu's family sells grain, and this sentence instantly caught her attention.
Thinking of this, she turned around and smiled at the maid.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But please wait for a moment, I need to clean up the stall first."
As Su Huaiyue spoke, she continued to fold the last few pieces of cloth neatly and put them into the box, her movements still unhurried.
Wei Yunrou nodded thoughtfully and whispered, "It seems this is an opportunity. It may also be helpful for our family's next plan."
Su Huaiyue did not respond directly, but patted Wei Yunrou's shoulder gently, indicating that she should not worry.
Seeing this, Wei Che said calmly, "Su Huaiyue, be careful."
Su Huaiyue looked back and smiled, "Don't worry, I will."
She tidied up her stall and walked towards the carriage not far away.
Although she was somewhat curious about this lady, she still had a calm smile on her face.
The maid lifted the curtain and led her into the carriage. The carriage was decorated in a unique and elegant style, with a faint fragrance.
"Miss Su, please sit down,"
The lady in the car said gently.
She was in her early thirties, with an elegant temperament and simple yet noble clothes.
"I've heard you have excellent craftsmanship. Could you customize some special bags for me?"
"Madam, you are too kind. I am just good at making small things."
Su Huaiyue answered modestly, his eyes meeting the lady's, testing her intentions. "If you have any special ideas, just tell me and I can design one specifically for you."
The lady smiled with satisfaction, and it was clear that these words appealed to her. "I really like things that are different, especially those that have their own unique style and color. After hearing Xiaoqin talk about your work this time, I was immediately interested."
"It's my honor," Su Huaiyue responded, mentally considering what to say next. "How about this? I can visit your house anytime and discuss this with Madam at any time."
This suggestion seemed to be an unexpected surprise for Mrs. Liu. A hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes: "That's great! Such thoughtfulness, I'm afraid there's no such service anywhere else."
Hearing this, Su Huaiyue felt a little relieved, realizing that this lady was truly interested in their skills and was not just being perfunctory.
"Then let's get back to business. When would Madam be free?"
"Why don't you come with me to my house today so that you can take a look at the environment first." The lady had obviously made up her mind and quickly made the invitation.
Su Huaiyue lowered her head and thought about it. Going back now was just a small matter. This opportunity was rare. "Since Madam is so enthusiastic, I won't refuse."
So, the group followed Liu Mansion's carriage and slowly drove towards Liu Mansion. Su Huaiyue slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the scenes on both sides of the street, and was full of anticipation for the upcoming cooperation.
Inside the car, the lady chatted with her in bits and pieces, and Su Huaiyue gradually learned some information about the Liu Mansion.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.
The Liu family was a prestigious family, and the servants had already opened the door to welcome them.
The two got out of the car and walked into the mansion. When the maids saw the lady, they bowed and greeted her in unison.
"Miss Su, please come this way."
The lady guided Su Huaiyue very enthusiastically. Along the way, the garden scenery of Liu Mansion also attracted Su Huaiyue to stop frequently. He couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity and richness of this place.
Su Huaiyue followed Mrs. Liu along the neatly paved stone road, passing through the courtyards.
The scenery along the way was exquisite and extraordinary, and the servants moved around in an orderly manner, doing their own things.
The Liu family's extravagance was jaw-dropping. Not only Su Huaiyue, but even Wei Che and Wei Yunrou, the wealthy members of the Wei family, were mesmerized by it.
Only Wang Susu followed behind, not daring to look up. She would glance up from time to time, her eyes full of envy.
Su Huaiyue immediately decided to make a good profit from these unlucky people.
The little money that flows through the fingers of these rich people is enough for some poor people to live for a long time.
"Mrs. Liu, this is such a refreshing place."
Su Huaiyue exclaimed sincerely, his eyes lingering on the lush plants and the exquisite and unique rockery.
"No, no, it's just some home decoration. I'm sorry to make Miss Su laugh."
Mrs. Liu shook her head, but she couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes.
Mrs. Liu stopped in front of a small pavilion with exquisite carvings.
"Miss Su, let's sit here first. I've asked the kitchen to prepare snacks and tea."
After the two of them sat down, Su Huaiyue observed Mrs. Liu carefully.
"I wonder what kind of style Madam likes?"
Mrs. Liu smiled slightly, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "As for me, I like things that aren't too flashy, but definitely not ordinary either. For example, the color combination should be unique, but the cut should still be comfortable and fit."
Su Huaiyue nodded, having made up her mind, "Okay, I roughly understand Madam's preferences."
Mrs. Liu nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.
As night fell, the Liu Mansion's garden appeared even quieter under the soft light of lanterns.
After an afternoon of discussion and planning, the distance between Su Huaiyue and Mrs. Liu seemed to have narrowed a lot.
