"Yiyi, let’s go over there and take a look."

Seeing so many embroidery pieces, Yue Jun’s face was full of joy.

Yiyi naturally didn’t refuse, saying, "Sure." Then she held Mo Shan’s small hand, and the three of them walked directly to the left.

"Wow... This piece is just too beautiful." Looking at the Rice Painting of Mountains and Rivers in front of her, Yue Jun couldn’t help but praise, "If it were me, I couldn’t possibly embroider something like this."

Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly said, "Mom, you will definitely be able to embroider such amazing works in the future." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Actually, in Yiyi’s eyes, these embroidery works were all similar. Since Yue Jun could embroider so many patterns, she should have no problem with such works.

However, Yue Jun chuckled and said, "Yiyi, don’t say things like that carelessly, it’ll make people laugh."

Seeing her daughter’s somewhat puzzled look, Yue Jun explained from the side, "There’s a lot of knowledge in embroidery. You have to know that the techniques of various embroideries are different, so not everyone who can embroider can produce excellent works. The technique I’m more skilled in is..."

When speaking of her embroidery technique, Yue Jun suddenly hesitated. She really didn’t know which type of embroidery her technique belonged to. She vaguely remembered her foster mother mentioning something called Chu Embroidery, but after all this time, she hadn’t heard about Chu Embroidery anywhere.

In the end, Yue Jun didn’t provide more explanation, only saying, "In any case, it’s not easy to do a good embroidery, there are simply too many stitches, like double-sided embroidery, I can’t do it."

Hearing this from her mother, Yiyi nodded, slightly understanding, so she didn’t say any more and continued to follow quietly behind Yue Jun as they toured the exhibition.

Seeing so many works, she couldn’t help but marvel at the exquisite artistry of the craftsmen. All the embroidery pieces on display were so exquisite that one could forget their worldliness.

Halfway through, Yiyi suddenly remembered something.

"Mom, didn’t you say you also embroidered a piece? Let me see it."

Yue Jun’s face turned a little red, and she quickly said, "You child, we’re looking at other people’s embroidery right now, why look at mine."

Yiyi still wanted to see it, curious about what her mother had embroidered. After all, her mother had kept it secret this time; even she didn’t know what had been embroidered.

Seeing that her daughter genuinely wanted to see it, Yue Jun, somewhat shyly, took out her own embroidery from her bag. This piece was hastily completed before a competition, with no time to frame it.

After Yiyi saw her mother take out a piece of embroidery cloth and slowly unfold it, she saw the lifelike peony flowers on it.

"Mom, your embroidery is really beautiful."

Even after seeing so many embroidery pieces, Yiyi still felt that Yue Jun’s peony picture was truly good. Not to mention the bold and bright coloring, just the intricate needlework was comparable to those on display.

"Mom, you were really too modest just now. This peony flower you embroidered is truly excellent, not inferior to others."

"Really?"

Hearing her daughter’s affirmative words, Yue Jun was a bit happy but still somewhat lacking in confidence.

After all, she had previously worked on small items like handkerchiefs, pouches, and bellybands. This was the first time she had made something large, and though she thought it looked nice, she always felt she couldn’t measure up to others.

"Mom, it is indeed excellent. You need to have confidence in your embroidery." Seeing her mother’s slight lack of confidence, Yiyi vigorously encouraged her from the side.

Mo Shan, the little one, also chimed in with a soft voice, "Grandma, it’s really beautiful, just like real flowers."

Hearing her granddaughter say this, Yue Jun broke into a broad smile.

"Our Shanshan is always right. In the future, I’ll embroider a large piece as a dowry for you."

Mo Shan didn’t understand what a dowry was, but she understood that Grandma said she would embroider for her, so she clapped her hands happily and said, "Okay, Grandma, you definitely have to embroider it for me."

As they were talking, someone nearby suddenly interrupted.

"Who embroidered this?"

It was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, his gaze fixed on the peony picture that Yue Jun had embroidered, his expression full of admiration.

Yiyi glanced at the man and, seeing his admiration for her mother’s embroidery, smiled and said, "This peony picture was embroidered by my mom. We’re here today to see the embroidery exhibition and learn some things."

Wu Yongcai, looking at the peony picture before him, found it increasingly beautiful, truly worthy of being called the national beauty and fragrance peony flower.

"Do you specialize in embroidery for others?"

Yue Jun nodded, "Yes, we normally make a living by doing some embroidery."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yongcai clapped his hands and said, "That’s wonderful. Could I commission a cheongsam from you?"

"What..."

At first, Yue Jun was a bit taken aback.

Yiyi, pulling her mother, then looked at Wu Yongcai and said, "Of course, you can order a cheongsam, but it won’t be cheap."

Seeing her daughter say this, Yue Jun didn’t say more.

Actually, when she was a child, what she saw most were the cheongsams embroidered by her foster mother. If someone really wanted to order a cheongsam, she was up to the task. The reason she hadn’t made any cheongsams in Houshan Town was that she thought no one would wear them; she hadn’t expected someone to place an order today.

Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, Wu Yongcai waved his hand generously, "Price is not an issue. I want to order a cheongsam embroidered with peonies. If you can make it, I’ll pay the deposit right away."

Seeing this man’s generosity, Yue Jun no longer held back and smiled, "Alright, then it’s settled, but I’ll need the measurements."

Wu Yongcai immediately took out pen and paper, wrote down the measurements, and finally handed over a 200 yuan deposit.

Seeing the large sum from the other party, Yue Jun hurriedly refused, "No need for so much, 100 yuan deposit will be enough."

"Make it 200 yuan, high-customized cheongsams aren’t cheap either, so I don’t want you to think I’m just toying with you."

Just as Yue Jun was about to say more, Yiyi stood out and smiled at Wu Yongcai, saying, "Alright, once the cheongsam is done, we’ll deliver it directly. But...we’re not from the city, we live in Houshan Town, so how should we contact you then?"

Hearing this, Wu Yongcai immediately left an address.

"You’ll deliver the clothes to this place."

Yiyi took the note and looked at it, then left their contact information as well.

After Wu Yongcai left, Yue Jun’s face showed excitement, "Yiyi, who would have thought that on our outing we’d gain an order."

"Yes, I didn’t expect it either."

Seeing her mother so happy, Yiyi’s face was also full of smiles, then she asked Yue Jun, "Mom, should we continue looking at the embroidery exhibition?"
