Jin Cai got up as soon as the cock crowed. She was unfamiliar with the place and she was the only "outsider" in the house. She would not act sneakily as before. But today she was hesitant on the street with a basket in her hand.
How to sell this?
Could it be that she was asked to shout loudly? That would be so embarrassing! Even though she was a maid, Jin Cai never left the house. Fearing that she would have a hard time explaining herself when she returned, Jin Cai gritted her teeth and just shouted, but her voice became hoarse.
"Forget it!" She couldn't shout out anything anyway, at most she could go back and yell at him.
Just as she was about to pack up and go home, a pair of small hands covered her, "Leave it there..." Jin Cai raised her eyes and said in surprise, "Seventh Miss!"
Shen Qingqiu was wearing a plain dress and had two cute buns on her head. She looked no different from an ordinary child, except that she was cuter. She held the handkerchief and started shouting loudly, without any shyness. Jin Cai hurriedly said, "Don't... How can you do such a thing!"
You know, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the last! Shen Qingqiu didn't care, "Whatever it is, my mother spent so much effort to embroider these things, and I rely on my voice to sell them, so I am upright and honest." This sentence stopped Jin Cai.
There were many vendors on this street. Jin Cai was able to hook up with Shen Qingwei, the eldest son of the Shen family, so she must be good-looking. And a half-grown child like Shen Qingqiu was cute. As long as she didn't act like a fierce monster, the girls and aunts would be happy to see her.
Soon, people came over. Jin Cai was just too embarrassed to speak at first. She was originally a servant. When people came to choose handkerchiefs, she would naturally say something happy. Besides, Liu and others' embroidery skills were good, much better than those of ordinary embroiderers on the market, and soon they were almost sold out.
Shen Qingqiu watched for a while and saw that Jin Cai was able to handle the situation easily, so he went back home first.
If her mother knew that she came out to help Jin Cai sell things today, she would probably be beaten with a feather duster again.
"How many times have you turned around?"
Mrs. Liu was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the room. Mother Chen felt dizzy watching her, so she poured her a cup of hot tea and told her to sit on a chair and have a good rest.
Liu looked towards the door while holding her tea, "Why hasn't Jin Cai come back yet?"
"How can it be so easy to sell things?" Mother Chen said, "Wait a little longer." She turned around and picked up the handkerchief she had embroidered halfway. She was old and her eyesight was not good, so she could not make a handkerchief. The most she could do was embroider a few tree trunks for Liu, and then ask Liu to add the dense branches and leaves.
In addition to Liu, Ah Xiu also looked out the door nervously. She was most afraid that her embroidery would not sell. If she tried to make a living, she was afraid that Yang Xiucai would sell her out again in the future.
After much anticipation, Jin Cai finally came back. She opened the basket she had brought that morning and found only one or two pieces of embroidery inside. The rest were small pieces of silver! "I listened to Mother Chen for everything else. She asked for fifteen coins. Miss Xiu's little fox took a lot of time, so I asked for thirty coins."
Jin Cai put the money on the table. It was much more than the money that Ah Xiu Liu and Chen Mama had seen before, but Liu was still excited. It was great to be able to make money. Even if there was any accident in the future, she could at least afford the food and drink for herself and her daughter.
"Take this money." Liu gave Ah Xiu twenty-eight cents.
Ah Xiu hurriedly pushed it away, "I can't take this--" Before she finished speaking, she asked Liu to hold the money in her palm, "After all, you earned it yourself, and you will earn more in the future." Mother Chen got some, and she happily put it into her purse.
Liu gave him another seven pieces of gold.
Jin Cai was stunned, "Why... is there mine here?" She didn't embroider anything?
