After signing the contract, Jiang Yingyue pulled Su Shuiche aside to chat.
Lin Siyao quietly lowered his head and sipped his tea. From time to time, he would look up at Su Shuiche, who was happily chatting with him. Occasionally, he would look at her with a concerned gaze and smile.
She was afraid that he would be left out.
The corners of Lin Siyao's lips curled up as he lowered his head and continued to sip his tea.
Jiang Yingyue, on the other hand, went from being polite at first to being completely engrossed in the conversation. She couldn't help but secretly praise Su Shuiche's vast knowledge. From this, she was sure that Su Shuiche was definitely not a girl raised by an ordinary family.
Looking at the graceful elegance in her words and actions, Jiang Yingyue couldn't help but suspect her true identity.
However, with the current employment relationship between the shopkeeper and the head embroiderer, she couldn't directly ask.
After all, this was the other party's privacy.
If it was really as she guessed: Su Shuiche was the daughter of a famous family who had eloped with Lin Siyao.
However, her beautiful embroidery skills made Jiang Yingyue automatically dispel this suspicion.
"Head shopkeeper, the appraisal results are out.
This is the appraisal report. "At this moment, everyone who had participated in the appraisal in the back hall came out.
They handed over a piece of paper in their hands to Jiang Yingyue.
Jiang Yingyue read ten lines at a glance and scanned the entire contents of the paper. The smile in her eyes deepened. She raised her head and met Su Shuiche's curious gaze. She smiled and said, "Shuiche, congratulations. The 《Drunken Consort》 is a first-class upper grade embroidery."
The embroidery traded in the Dahui Kingdom had a set of standards.
Every embroidery house hired a professional appraiser to evaluate the embroidery according to the standards.
Embroidery was divided into first, second, and third grades according to the size of the door, simplicity, layout, quality of embroidery, and other requirements. First grade was excellent, second grade was excellent, and third grade was good.
Each grade was further divided into three grades according to the details.
As for embroidery that couldn't even be rated as a third-grade lower grade embroidery, it was coarse embroidery. Even women who knew a bit of needlework could do it.
Therefore, it wasn't suitable for unbridled transactions.
This was because even if it was bought by some greedy merchant, it would still belong to the stock at the bottom of the box.
No one was willing to buy it.
Last time, Su Shuiche and Xi Cui worked together to complete the "A Male Phoenix Seeking a Female Phoenix", which was appraised as a first-class low-quality work. The main reason was that Xi Cui was responsible for the secondary embroidery surface, and the stitches were too restrained.
Jiang Yingyue was both surprised and expected that Drunken Imperial Concubine would receive the highest rating of first-class upper grade.
Yes, she did think that with Su Shuiche's embroidery skills, she should be able to get a first-class top grade evaluation.
However, thinking was one thing.
Seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it with his own ears, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
The two sisters, Jiang Yingyue and Jiang Yingyun, had been running the embroidery shop for eleven years, but they had never received a piece of top-grade embroidery.
First-grade, mid-grade, was the highest evaluation after so many years, and there were only three of them so far.
One of them was made by Su Shuiche.
In all of Fanluo City, which embroidery house had ever bought top-grade embroidery?
None!
However, if there was one, the embroidery house would have already surpassed Yueyun and become the "Number One Embroidery House in Fanluo City".
Now, the embroiderer in front of her, who didn't look like an embroiderer at all, only took a month and a half to break Yueyun's 11-year suspension record and rewrite the history of embroidery in Fanluo City.
Fortunately, Jiang Yingyue secretly rejoiced that she had signed Su Shuiche. Within a year, with Su Shuiche's character, she shouldn't have to worry about other embroidery houses successfully poaching her.
A year later, she would continue to persuade Su Shuiche to cooperate with Yueyun Embroidery House.
As for the salary, as long as it was reasonable, Jiang Yingyue could make the decision.
…
"Ah Yao, let's go to Wuqin Zhai and have a good meal." Su Shuiche happily pulled Lin Siyao to Wuqin Zhai, which was located at the west end of the main street.
"Drunken Imperial Concubine", a top-grade, top-grade embroidery, allowed her to receive twenty taels of silver on the spot.
This was her first income since she came to the Dahui Kingdom and settled in Blossom Town.
How could she not be happy?
"Okay." Lin Siyao smiled and touched her cheeks that were full of joy.
Inwardly, he was a little surprised. Could she be so satisfied with twenty taels of silver?
He thought of the dazzling and eye-catching embroidery she kept at the bottom of her dressing table. Any one of them was worth dozens of taels, and one of them was worth hundreds of taels of silver. In addition, she had fifty taels of silver on her at the beginning.
At that time, she didn't seem to care much about money.
She spent it when she should. Sometimes, even he had to wonder if she really knew the market price.
Yes, these twenty taels of silver were the result of her hard work for a month and a half. Naturally, it was different.
…
When the two arrived at Wuqin Zhai, it was noon. The private rooms of the restaurant were already full.
They could only find a table for two in the corner of the lobby.
They ordered a few specialty dishes, such as beggar's chicken, pine nut fish, stir-fried artemisia, and five-colored soup, which filled the small table.
"Brother waiter, please save two crispy roast ducks for us. We'll come and pick them up in the afternoon." Su Shuiche smiled and ordered the waiter to serve the dishes.
She wanted to bring them home for Dabao, Xiaochun, and Xiaoxue to try.
"Okay. Madam, don't worry. I'll tell the cook.
Just wait for Madam to come and pick up the table number. "The waiter agreed with a smile.
Last time, he was also the one who received Su Shuiche and her husband.
The man was cold and handsome, while the woman was graceful and graceful. Such a beautiful young couple was rare in the relatively remote Fanluo City.
Therefore, the first time he met them, he had a deep impression of them.
The other customers in the lobby also glanced at Su Shuiche's table from time to time.
Their gazes were full of interest and envy …
Lin Siyao frowned unhappily and snorted coldly. The coldness and inner pressure that spread out from his body instantly disappeared. The gazes full of interest and envy disappeared.
"Ah Yao?
What's wrong? "
Su Shuiche heard his snort and looked up from her meal. Seeing his gloomy face, she asked worriedly, "Are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine.
I think it's a bit stuffy here. "Lin Siyao tilted his head uncomfortably and found an excuse.
"Stuffy?" Su Shuiche looked around in confusion.
In the middle of winter, the restaurant was warm like this.
However, perhaps he was the same as her and was not used to eating in this noisy hall.
"Then let's eat quickly. After eating, we'll go buy some New Year's goods."
Su Shuiche said with a smile. At the same time, she picked up a piece of pine nut cinnamon fish and put it on the plate in front of him.
"Okay.
You eat more too. "Seeing this, Lin Siyao's inexplicable displeasure was immediately swept away.
He scooped a bowl of five-colored soup for Su Shuiche, which consisted of shredded chicken, shredded whitebait, shredded tofu, shredded winter bamboo shoots, and shredded carrots. After giving her some instructions, he buried his head in his food.
She was already his wife, and that was enough. As for the jealous gazes of others, what did it have to do with him?
However, Lin Siyao did not expect that the gazes of the people around him were not only for Su Shuiche, but also for him … For example, Lu Wan 'er, who was hiding in the corner of the lobby's west window.
