Shen Jing just snorted coldly and said nothing more.
She was once one of those aristocratic girls in the capital, and she was also raised as a lady by her grandmother.
Of course I know what goes on in the ignorant heads of these girls every day.
Just seeing Qiao Yuyan in such a situation, still thinking about those flashy embroidery, thinking about the interpersonal relationships between parents who are short of each other, I feel a little ridiculous.
However, this does not affect her plan, not to mention the Xue family's influence in the south cannot be underestimated. Since Qiao Yuyan can go to see them, then it is better to meet them.
With her acquiescence and Mrs. Zhang's matchmaking, Qiao Yuyan met the legendary Mr. Xue on the second day.
But it was different from what he imagined. Mr. Xue's attitude was very cold. Only when he saw Mrs. Zhang, he showed a reluctant and forced consent.
Qiao Yuyan was finally able to enter this embroidery workshop that was talked about by many people.
It is said to be an embroidery workshop, but in fact it also takes care of both a cloth workshop and a dyeing workshop.
The Xue family's place occupies a large area and is divided into several areas. A group of young girls are busy inside. It can be seen from their clothes that their family background is very average.
Mrs. Zhang and others followed Mr. Xue and walked forward cautiously, fearing that their clothes would be stained by something here.
Only Shen Jing followed with a cold face the whole time, looking at the surrounding situation with vigilant eyes.
After finally passing through the last embroidery workshop, Qiao Yuyan and others followed Mr. Xue to her small building. The building has three floors, and the second floor is where Professor Xue teaches his disciples embroidery.
There were several young women sitting inside, all working on the needlework meticulously. There were many completed embroideries hanging on the wall next to them.
Mr. Xue ushered them in with a very cold tone, "You can see for yourselves! Whatever you like, you can take it yourself."
Everyone followed in, and the embroiderers also stopped their movements and stepped aside.
Everyone slowly looked at each piece one by one, praising each one as they saw it.
Qiao Yuyan just walked forward slowly without any expression. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but wonder: "Don't my aunt like embroidery? Why didn't you say a word? There must be nothing here that you like, right?"
Qiao Yuyan smiled and said nothing. When someone brought tea, she sat down and drank tea.
Mrs. Zhang left others to enjoy it and followed her, "Auntie, do you really think you don't like the things here?"
These words also attracted the attention of others, and several embroiderers standing in the corner had unhappy looks on their faces. It was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with Qiao Yuyan's attitude.
Qiao Yuyan took a sip of tea and then said calmly: "Maybe my expectations are too high. Looking at it like this... it's just mediocre."
This sentence made Mrs. Zhang feel a little embarrassed, and the expressions of others who had been restrained just now had completely changed.
One of the embroidery ladies, who seemed to have a more outgoing temper, couldn't bear it any longer. Just as she was about to come up and say something, she was stopped by someone.
Everyone Xue's eyes finally turned to Qiao Yuyan, and his tone was a little cold, "I have disappointed this distinguished guest. Our level here is only so much. In this case, it is inconvenient to waste your guest's time. Maybe this guest Distinguished guests can look elsewhere."
After saying this, the unhappy expressions on the faces of the embroiderers in the corner disappeared, and instead they became slightly proud.
It is obvious that they are very confident in their work and believe that no one else can match their skills.
Qiao Yuyan took out her handkerchief and coughed lightly, then turned to Shen Jing and asked, "Have you seen Sister Song's embroidery skills?"
She didn't wait for Shen Jing's answer, and just said to herself: "Among us, I am the only one who has always been lazy and stolen. I can't even embroider a decent purse, but Sister Song's embroidery work has been hard work." Kung Fu, when my brother was one month old, the little clothes she gave me were really impressive.
Surprise me!"
After saying that, she stood up, looked at the embroidery on the wall again, and said helplessly: "In my opinion, some of the embroidery here are not even as good as those embroidered by Sister Song, and some of them really amaze me. disappointment."
No one else knew who Sister Song she was talking about, but it was obvious that Qiao Yuyan's words were just a slap in the face of Xue's embroidery shop.
Mrs. Zhang's face was a little ugly, and even more ugly were the faces of the embroiderers.
Everyone in Xue seemed to have calmed down.
Qiao Yuyan turned to her with a smile and said, "I came here today because I sincerely want to ask for some high-quality embroidery pieces to go back to, but Mr. Xue is a little too perfunctory with me!"
Everyone Xue just lowered his eyes at first. After hearing Qiao Yuyan's words, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at her. After a long time, he said: "So, your sister Song has become Madam Cao under her tutelage?"
Qiao Yuyan took a look and pinched her sleeves tightly, with doubt on her face, "I don't know about that."
After saying that, he turned to Shen Jing, "Really?"
Shen Jing snorted coldly, "How do I know?"
"Mrs. Cao?!" Someone exclaimed, "Is that Mrs. Cao from Nanxue Beicao?"
But no one paid attention to it. Everyone Xue looked a little embarrassed, "Since this distinguished guest knows Madam Cao's descendants, it's normal to look down on these ordinary things. If you want something from me, it's not that you won't give it to me, but you still have to ask for it." Only if you can afford the price."z.br
Qiao Yuyan smiled when she heard this, "I'm probably not at the point where I have to think carefully about buying several pieces of embroidery, right, Sister Shen?"
The corner of Shen Jing's mouth twitched, and then she smiled lightly and said: "Who doesn't know that you are rich and powerful? If you really want it, just buy Xue's embroidery workshop!"
Everyone Xue sneered, "It depends on whether I am willing or not."
After saying that, he turned around and went out, as if he was about to go upstairs. Halfway there, he suddenly said: "The third floor is my own place. This distinguished guest can see my embroidery, but no one else is allowed in!"
"No!" Shen Jing immediately objected, "I have to follow you in."
"You just don't want to buy it?" The Xue family immediately stopped and looked at them with a sneer, "This is my rule. My house is not a vegetable market that can accommodate so many people making noises."
This time there was a stalemate.
Qiao Yuyan frowned and discussed hesitantly: "Then... Can you, Mr. That’s it!”
