Chapter 64: Monster
However, he willingly fell into his calculations.
Because he seemed to have discovered that the aura emitted by Miss Lin and the prince was very similar.
And the teacher also told him to follow the prince more.
Elsewhere, Master Wen sneezed suddenly, as if he was being blamed for something he hadn't intended to do.
At this time, inside Qianzi Pavilion.
Lin Qingjun was talking about embroidery with Shang Jianqiu.
Shang Jianqiu didn't address the matter directly. Instead, he said to her, "Miss Lin, such a big thing happened here today. There's no guarantee that it won't be reported to the Lin Mansion. The deal between you and me can be done next time. Now, go back and explain things to your mistress. Don't ruin your reputation."
When Nanny Wan returns, she will certainly be held accountable by the master of Wanchongxuan. This happened in public, and people are talking about it. Moreover, it concerns Wanchongxuan's affairs, so the master will definitely not sit idly by. Even if Nanny Wan does not die when she returns, she will be disabled.
So the same goes for her.
Xiao Yuan said that she was Lin Qingjun, the second Miss Lin. She didn't know which Lin family Miss Lin Qingjun belonged to, but no matter which family she belonged to, everything she did here would be heard by the mistress.
If the mistress was a man of great understanding, it might be all right, but if she was vicious and couldn't tolerate a concubine's daughter, then what would happen? She would go back and explain everything to the mistress. As long as she could find out that this matter had nothing to do with her, she believed that even if the mistress punished her, it wouldn't be too severe.
Lin Qingjun smiled. This was why she liked Shang Jianqiu in her previous life. She was kind-hearted.
She said, "There's no need to be so nervous. My mistress wouldn't dare admit it."
Even if this happened, it would not matter. But she was wearing a veil today and no one could recognize her. Although Qi wanted to find something to hold against her, she was not stupid and she did not dare to joke with Lin Yingxue's reputation.
Everyone knows that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.
It would be totally unworthy if her legitimate daughter's reputation was ruined because of a mere concubine's daughter. Besides, her legitimate son is not young anymore and can be married off in two years. If others knew what happened today, which good daughter would dare to marry into such a family?
Lin Qingjun laughed freely, but Shang Jianqiu was obviously shocked.
She looked Lin Qingjun up and down and said, "After all, she is a young lady from a wealthy family. This kind of vision is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Jian Qiu, I admire you."
Although Shang Jianqiu had been in the capital for some years, the women he met were either farm girls or daughters of small families, and they were nothing compared to the woman in front of him who came from a noble family.
If they had encountered what happened today, they would not know how to cry. However, the person in front of them could not only handle it with ease, but could also fight back, and they didn't have to worry about what would happen next.
Lin Qingjun was so straightforward that she also wanted to make friends with her. What's more, her embroidery was indeed good, and judging from the embroidery, she should have some tricks up her sleeve.
She said, "If Miss Lin doesn't mind, I'll sell this embroidery to you, and we'll split it 50-50. How about that?"
Lin Qingjun was slightly stunned. Fifty-fifty?
"Boss Shang is truly generous. He's willing to give up the profit to such an extent."
The most common embroidery workshops take is 4:6, the workshop takes 6, she takes 4, and some take 3:7. It's not the embroidery workshop's fault for being so unscrupulous, but selling things like embroidery is extremely risky, especially in a place like Shangjing, where the styles and colors of embroidery can change every four months, or even every three months.
For example, last month flower patterns were popular, but after two or three months bird patterns became popular, and after another few months, word patterns became popular again. The changes are so unpredictable that no one can catch up.
There are at least thirty embroidery workshops in Beijing, if not forty, not including those that take private jobs.
Therefore, once the embroidery workshop receives these embroidery works, it has to bear the possibility that they cannot be sold and become old goods, or if they really cannot be sold, these embroidery works can only be burned.
Therefore, it was truly shocking that Boss Shang could split the profits 50-50 with her. This was something that had never happened before. Even a place like Wanchongxuan would not dare to offer a 50-50 split to the embroiderer they were most familiar with.
Besides, opening an embroidery workshop requires capital. With a 50-50 profit split, apart from the usual expenses, even if the embroidery is sold, she won't make much.
Lin Qingjun said, "No need, just 40% to 60%."
That's fair.
Shang Jianqiu shook his head. "To be honest, I can still earn a 50-50 split. It's not for anything else, but because your embroidery is truly top-notch. Look at the color matching and the composition. Others can't match it."
She continued, "I seem to understand now why Nanny Wan wanted to take your embroidery. If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily want to return it to you."
This good embroidery is like a man, it can be found by chance but not by force.
She believed that once this embroidery was put on display, it would be sold in less than an hour, and she would not sell it for less than twenty taels.
Twenty taels, fifty-fifty, ten taels per person, and the profit of ten taels is enough to support her Qianzi Pavilion's expenses for a month, so it is her earnings.
Lin Qingjun was slightly depressed. She knew that once Shang Jianqiu said something, it would not be changed. Although she also needed money, she was planning for the long term.
She said, "This time it's 50-50, but next time it's 40-60. Boss Shang, please don't say anything more. It's settled. However, I do have some requirements. I can't decide when to deliver the embroidery, and I won't sell my embroidery to anyone with a bad reputation."
It's not that she is being pretentious, but she really doesn't want her embroidery to be contaminated by others.
In the eyes of the embroiderers, every embroidery piece is not just a simple commodity. The embroidered things are like the little pets they have carefully raised. If they are not forced by life, they will never sell them. But if they are destined to sell them, they also want to find a good owner for them. This is not too much, right?
Shang Jianqiu nodded, "Don't worry, Miss Lin, I have the same idea. Besides, an embroidery shop like mine shouldn't have people with bad reputations coming here."
Because they were too cheap. An embroidered handkerchief cost no more than fifty coins, and the cheapest one only cost twenty coins. Of course, the people who bought these handkerchiefs were not rich. They were either servants in a certain mansion or some small families with slightly better off. Therefore, sales were not abundant. Besides, the servants in the mansion could embroider some handkerchiefs themselves, so why would they need to spend money to buy them? Therefore, her Qianzi Pavilion was still a run-down little building, unlike the noble Wanzhongxuan.
However, things are different now. With the addition of this young lady, her Qianzi Pavilion will one day be on par with Wanchongxuan.
But just as they finished speaking, guests arrived. When they saw the embroidery on the table, they offered twenty taels of silver without hesitation and said they wanted to buy it.
Lin Qingjun was slightly stunned. The voice of the person seemed familiar.
She turned her head suddenly and saw the tall man standing with his back to the light, like a god descending from heaven.
Her mouth twitched again, what a monster.
