Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 140 Poisoning to Redeem Someone (7)

"Aunt Yun, take a look at what I’ve brought." Baihe stepped forward and took out the items from her bundle to hand to Lady Yun.

Lady Yun received the cloth sculpture and was instantly captivated by it, fondling it lovingly back and forth.

"Girl, you aren’t here just to sell this piece of embroidery, are you?" Aunt Yun shifted her gaze, looking at Feng Xuxu.

"Aunt Yun knows me well. This is produced in our village, and I was thinking of doing business with you," Feng Xuxu said as she put down her tea cup and spoke to Aunt Yun.

"This piece is nice; I haven’t seen anything like it yet. Quote me a price!" Aunt Yun spoke generously.

"The large ones from one thousand to five thousand taels of silver. The mediums from five hundred to one thousand taels. The small ones from one hundred to five hundred taels," Feng Xuxu stated the price ranges based on size and the exquisiteness of the pieces. After finishing, she looked towards Aunt Yun.

Lady Yun was silent for a while. "Xuxu, this price is a bit too high."

"Aunt Yun, I’ve thought about this price. First, this cloth sculpture is not found anywhere in the nation, or even the three kingdoms. Second, creating this cloth sculpture is time-consuming and laborious. Third, the annual production will not be too great. Fourth, even if you purchase them to copy, you won’t be able to replicate them in the shortest time," Feng Xuxu emphasized the crucial fourth point to Lady Yun.

Lady Yun chuckled and shook her head. "Girl, you really do have a knack for business. You’ve left me speechless. It seems I have no choice but to agree."

"Hahaha, I wouldn’t dare show off in front of Aunt Yun," Feng Xuxu also laughed heartily.

"Girl, how is your double-sided embroidery coming along?" Aunt Yun was still eager to see the double-sided embroidery, but unfortunately, it had all been taken by the master. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"What I have brought here is Xiang embroidery, which can rival the double-sided embroidery." She took out a screen, on which a Brocade Chicken and Peony Picture was embroidered, lifelike in every detail.

"Beautiful, truly beautiful." Lady Yun had her eyes opened today—first the cloth sculpture and now the Xiang embroidery, not to mention she still had double-sided embroidery in hand. She had no idea where the girl had learned it all from.

"Well, these are relatively fewer in number. The large ones for three thousand taels, the mediums for twelve hundred taels. The small ones for three hundred taels." After some thought, she considered these prices to be about right; a fast worker could embroider a small piece in just a few days.

"Fine, but they can only be sold here," Lady Yun instructed.

"Of course," Feng Xuxu smiled subtly in agreement.

Afterward, the two began drafting the contract, and it was only after half an hour, when they had both affixed their signatures and stamped their large red seals, that the deal was finally concluded.

Upon leaving Yunyi Workshop, it was already midday. She stopped briefly at her own restaurant for a bite to eat, then boarded the carriage to head back to the village.

After entering the estate, she called for the heads of the two villages.

"The reason I called you here today is about the cloth sculptures and Xiang embroidery. When you go back, tell them they must do good work. Anything poorly done will not be accepted. Here are the sizes for each piece. If they meet the standards, they will be paid in silver; if not, they will receive nothing. They must do their work well." Baihe handed over the list of sizes to the two village heads, instructing them to relay the message to the villagers.

"Okay, we’ll head back right away. They’re all waiting at home," both village heads left cheerfully.

Day after day, as spring warmed the air and the days grew longer, the spring breeze blew away the chill of winter and turned the buds green.

"Miss, the days are gradually warming, and they’re getting longer too," Qiangwei said while sunning the quilts, talking with her young mistress.

"Indeed, spring has arrived, and with it, everything comes back to life," Feng Xuxu curled the corner of her mouth. The plans for the year lie in spring; how wonderful springtime is.

"Is Big Brother at the manor yet?" she asked, turning to Qiangwei.

"It seems the Young Master has returned from the fields," Qiangwei recalled after a moment’s thought.
