Chapter 109 Is the Jade Needle Hall helping us?
Madam Yang instructed the other embroiderers to assemble the ink-and-wash dress.
Liu Yu glanced at Feng Huan behind him and deliberately stopped in front of another set of clothes.
Chen Xiyao and the others thought that Liu Yu liked this set, so she agreed to give a set to Lian Baoer, so Yuer naturally couldn't be left out.
But before she could open her mouth, Feng Huan came over again and did the same thing.
Chen Xiyao frowned and was about to step forward to argue with Feng Huan.
Liu Yu grabbed her, shook his head silently, and said something in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
After hearing this, Chen Xiyao's eyes lit up and she voluntarily gave up the right to snatch. Without any connection, she continued to shuttle between the various dresses with Liu Yu and the others.
Later, when Feng Huan was deliberately snatching the goods, Chen Xiyao would argue with Feng Huan for a while in order to make Feng Huan more realistic, and deliberately raised the price of each set to twice. In order to save face, Feng Huan had to buy them with three times the silver.
After many cycles, except for a few sets that were reserved by others, all were bought by Feng Huan at three to four times the price.
The smiles in Liu Yu and Chen Xiyao's eyes became even more intense.
Without her dress, Chen Xiyao cast her eyes on the four exquisite double-sided embroidered paintings and walked towards them decisively.
This time, Feng Huan did not follow up immediately. You know, double-sided embroidery is not cheap, and she bought those dresses at three to four times the price.
By this time, she had spent nearly 6 taels of silver, nearly one-third of all her pocket money.
And those four double-sided embroidered patterns are much more expensive than the dresses.
Chen Xiyao, who was walking in front, noticed Feng Huan's hesitation.
She suddenly had an idea and said loudly:
"I thought Miss Feng was really amazing, but now it turns out she's just this good. She's a joke. If you can't afford it, don't come out and embarrass yourself."
The onlookers, hearing this, could not help but sigh that Chen Xiyao was vicious and actually used Feng Huan's words to slap herself in the face.
Now, Feng Huan was in a dilemma. If he continued to do so, his wallet would be empty, and if he ignored it, he would only lose face.
Everyone looked at Feng Huan, wanting to see what she would do.
Faced with everyone's questioning gazes, Feng Huan decisively chose the former. She would have money every month, and if worst came to worst, she could ask her mother for more. If she lost face because of this, it would be a huge loss, as she was Feng Bu's daughter.
Thinking of this, she strode up to Chen Xiyao and the other three, without even looking at the double-sided embroidery from the Beijing market that was taller than a person, and waved her hand: "We want this double-sided embroidery in the Feng Mansion."
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar again, and they all exclaimed: "This Feng Shangshu Mansion is really rich!"
The maid realized that her girl was bloodthirsty and immediately pulled Feng Huan's sleeve.
Feng Huan was being very impressive at this time, but was interrupted by a little maid. He glared at the maid next to him.
The little maid explained tremblingly:
"Girl, we are running out of money."
Liu Yu happened to understand the maid's lip language and immediately told it to Chen Xiyao.
After listening to this, Chen Xiyao turned around and mocked Feng Huan again.
Feng Huan was so stimulated by this that he immediately prepared to ask the maid to go home to get the silver.
"Mrs. Yang, I'll buy this double-sided embroidery." Chen Xiyao immediately asked the maid to take out all the silver and banknotes.
This is to snatch it from her. How could Feng Huan let this happen? He took the lead and pulled Madam Yang over, asking anxiously:
"You can't sell this double-sided embroidery to her, you can only sell it to me. I'll still pay three times the price and I'll write a note for you. Is that okay with you?"
Mrs. Yang had been following along the way and saw it all clearly. She nodded and explained the specifications for the note.
The same is true for the next two pictures.
Looking at the money she had spent, Feng Huan's heart was bleeding. With the three IOUs, she had nothing left in her private treasury. She might have to ask her mother for another two thousand taels.
She had completely lost the excitement she had at the beginning, and stared at Chen Xiyao and the other two with eyes that looked like she could eat them.
Chen Xiyao didn't care about Feng Huan's hateful look at all, and praised him in a very good mood:
"Well, the Feng family is really rich. I have seen it."
As he said this, he was really afraid that he would laugh in front of Feng Huan, so he took Liu Yu and the other person out.
Lian Baoer was not like Liu Yu and Chen Xiyao who could hold back, and he burst out laughing before leaving the viewing hall.
Listening to Lian Baoer's laughter and seeing everyone trying to hold back their laughter, Feng Huan suddenly seemed to have an epiphany. He realized that he might have been tricked by Chen Xiyao, and he immediately became furious.
But she did not lose her mind. After all, there were so many people watching. If she caused trouble for them in Yuzhen Hall at this moment, what would be the difference between that and admitting in front of everyone that she was stupid.
However, Yuzhentang's subsequent actions almost made Feng Huan completely lose his mind.
I watched as Madam Yang and three embroiderers took out three double-sided embroidery pieces and hung them in the center of the viewing hall again, a picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating a birthday, and two sets of women's dresses that were the same as those just now, but in comparison, they were more exquisite.
Feng Huan couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed to Madam Yang, staring at her with his red eyes, and asked with gritted teeth:
"Are you from Yuzhen Hall and Chen Xiyao in the same group?"
"Miss Feng, what nonsense are you talking about?" Madam Yang pulled her hand away indifferently.
"Then why do you still have these? Aren't there limited quantities of dresses and double-sided embroidery paintings?" Feng Huan almost shouted.
Chen Xiyao and Lian Baoer, who had just come in, couldn't understand it either.
"Sister Yu'er, do you feel that Yuzhen Hall is helping us?" Lian Bao'er whispered in Liu Yu's ear.
Liu Yu coughed calmly and said, "Is there? No! Isn't there a reward for the lucky ones? Maybe these are it."
"Yes, I have heard of it."
"Me too..." Some people did remember that this happened.
"Yes, you are right. These four double-sided embroideries were all made by the owner of our Yuzhen Hall. To celebrate the opening of Yuzhen Hall, we will draw four lucky winners from among you and give them as gifts." Mrs. Yang confirmed the matter.
As soon as Mrs. Yang finished speaking, the hall was first dead silent, and then cheers rang out.
However, there was one exception, and that was Feng Huan, who was looking at Madam Yang with ferocious eyes at this moment.
Yuzhentang's move made her lose all face and dignity; it was simply a joke.
If she could, she would have wanted to tear down the embroidery workshop on the spot.
But some of the people present today were even of higher status than her, so she couldn't do that.
"I want to buy these four pieces of embroidery." This was the only thing Feng Huan could do.
Everyone was surprised. Did she still have money? Everyone immediately gave up hope. They were not Feng Huan. They did not have three or four times the amount of money to spend.
Just as everyone was about to leave in disappointment, this time, Mrs. Yang unexpectedly did not agree. She just shook her head:
"Miss Feng, I'm really sorry. I just said that these four embroidery pieces are not for sale. They are given to the lucky ones."
