The queen must start from the head

Chapter 5

Mu Lian didn't expect shopkeeper Lin to push her out so straightforwardly. She thought that the other party would buy her embroidery at a low price, but she didn't expect that the other party was indeed a sincere person.

After thinking for a while, Mu Lian walked up to the people, bowed to everyone, and said loudly, "Thanks to shopkeeper Lin and everyone's appreciation, my surname is Mu, and the single name is Lian. This "Sunrise Mountain Journey" is indeed mine. Made. However, the embroidery method is not my original creation, but the embroidery method that has been handed down for a long time in Gusu, so I can't bear the name of a master... Later, I will discuss with shopkeeper Lin to choose a good day and auspicious day for this embroidery. The work is published together with my other works, and everyone can come to watch it. I hope you will forgive me for now." After finishing speaking, Mu Lian once again bowed to the crowd, and everyone present returned the salute one after another.

"Miss Mu, you are welcome. This work was created by you. If you are willing to share it, I will be grateful."

"Extremely, shopkeeper Lin, if the exhibition time is fixed, please be sure to post a notice in front of your shop, so we can find a place..."

Those who can be attracted by embroidery are mostly people who know etiquette and integrity. Now that Mu Lian has said that she will exhibit her work publicly, and there may be more than one masterpiece with the same embroidery method, they will naturally go home and wait Good news, come and have a look at that time, feast your eyes.

Shopkeeper Lin who was standing on the side touched his beard when he heard the words, and was very satisfied that Mu Lian didn't leave him out of the conversation.This girl is not only superb in embroidery skills, but also a good person, and she will definitely not be something in the pool in the future.

After the onlookers dispersed, shopkeeper Lin politely invited Mu Lian into the living room in the backyard of the shop. Mrs. Zhou Wu knew that she would be useless if she stayed here, so she left with the excuse of going shopping.

In the living room, there was a scent of tea, and I saw Mu Lian and shopkeeper Lin sitting on both sides, discussing how to display the embroidery.

"...Honghe Tower is the property of my Lin family. Among them, the view on the fourth floor is the best, and the place is spacious. It can accommodate nearly a hundred people at a time. If the tables and chairs are removed, the number of people will have to double. "

"If the exhibition is scheduled for three days later, I can still take out four more embroideries, which can be exhibited together at that time. It's just that if there are mixed people on site, I need to arrange people to stay behind. In addition, according to my opinion See, the exhibition should be open during the day as much as possible, starting from Chenshi and ending at Shenshi, five hours should be enough."

"Five hours should really be enough, Miss Mu. I, the Lin family, will be in charge of the staff and venue. I just don't know if you intend to sell these embroidery..." Shopkeeper Lin finally got to the point. Today's Mu Lian's painting Although "Sunrise Mountain Travel Picture" has spread its reputation, many high-ranking families in Tianhai City still don't know about it.If he could strike first, he would surely be able to add such a stroke to his list of achievements.And if the opening of this embroidery exhibition can cause a sensation, maybe the family members will transfer him back to the imperial city.

Mu Lian glanced at Shopkeeper Lin and forcibly suppressed her excited expression, her heart moved slightly. As the saying goes, "money touches people's hearts".Right now, shopkeeper Lin is negotiating with himself and not buying or selling by force with her, but if the price of embroidery goes up all the way, maybe something will happen at that time.

Thinking of this, she calmly squeezed the porcelain cup in her hand, put it down, and said softly, "I was not planning to sell these embroidery items, but for the sake of shopkeeper Lin, I can make an exception and sell them." You have one, but that will have to wait until after the exhibition. As for the exhibition, I have another suggestion. Shopkeeper Lin, you can charge a penny viewing fee from everyone who comes to visit. The money can be used to pay Those who take care of the venue; in addition, it is best to limit the time and number of shows, for example, one show every hour, and only 1000 people are allowed to enter to watch each show, and then the people can be cleared before the next show starts to avoid large crowds and stampedes. event……".

The more shopkeeper Lin listened to Mu Lian's words, the more he sized up Mu Lian with disbelief. How could there be such a knowledgeable woman in the world?Could it be that Miss Mu is what the sages call "one born with knowledge"?Once this thought comes together, it is like a ladle floating in water, no matter how hard it is to press down.I'm afraid this woman can only befriended, not offended.

Although Mu Lian noticed that shopkeeper Lin's eyes on her had changed, she didn't know the reason.

The two discussed for another quarter of an hour, and after finalizing many details, shopkeeper Lin personally sent Mu Lian to the gate of the silk and satin village, and ordered the servant to drive his own carriage to take Mu Lian back to Heshui Village.

As for her "Sunrise Mountain Journey", I left it to shopkeeper Lin for foreign negotiations. After all, some celebrities had to be invited to help out on the day of the exhibition. It's amazing what a young woman can come up with.

Mu Lian entered the carriage with her head down, and as soon as she entered, she saw five horses of the finest silk and several sets of gorgeous clothes neatly arranged on the carpet inside the carriage.She couldn't help but think of shopkeeper Lin's sincere smile that didn't seem to be fake when he saw her off, and she felt a little more at ease.

"Brother, please take me to the vegetable market."

"Okay, Miss Mu, sit still." The young man in Tsing Yi who was driving the carriage smiled heartily, and with a flick of the rein in his hand, the horse started to move.

When she arrived at the vegetable market, Mu Lian got out of the car and happened to meet Mrs. Zhou Wu who came out of a nearby rice shop. She was looking for the latter. This coincidence saved a lot of time.

After learning that shopkeeper Lin sent a carriage to take Mu Lian home, Mrs. Zhou Wu opened her mouth in surprise. She had never ridden in a carriage in her life, but today was thanks to Mu Lian.

The two walked around the vegetable market for a while, bought some fresh meat, loaded everything into the car, and set off back to Heshui Village.

The speed of the carriage was much faster than that of the ox cart. It took an hour's drive to come, and it took less than half an hour to return.When getting off the carriage, Zhou Wu still felt that her feet were floating on the clouds, maybe it was because the blanket in the carriage was too soft.

The carriage stopped directly at the door of Zhou's house.

When the boy driving the car first saw the three thatched houses and the dilapidated courtyard, he was also surprised.This woman who is highly skilled and is treated as a distinguished guest by Shopkeeper Lin actually lives in such a place?This... this is not even as good as my own home!His house is still a tiled house after all!

But the amazement turned into amazement, the servant didn't say much, but diligently helped the two of them move all the things from the car, and then told Mu Lian that he would come to Heshui Village to pick her up in the morning three days later.Then turned the horses and left Heshui Village.

Mrs. Zhou Wu happened to come out with a bowl of water to quench the other party's thirst. Unexpectedly, in just a moment, there was no one at the door.

Nothing to do right now, Mu Lian quickly entered her room and began to embroider seriously.In the previous life, her family's ancestors lived in the Suzhou area for generations, and their Suzhou embroidery business even entered the imperial palace. At that time, almost all the imperial embroidery products of a certain dynasty were made by Suzhou embroidery artists.And her grandmother is a master of Suzhou embroidery. The embroidery she made is exquisite and exquisite. She was once given as a national gift to many top leaders abroad.Even under the influence of this environment, Mu Lian also learned a lot of real kung fu.In this life, she is still preparing to carry forward this skill.

As soon as she was busy, she went straight to dinner time.

When Xiao Shuang came to call her to have dinner, she had just completed half of "The Picture of Red Plum Blossoms".

At the dinner table, Xiao Shuang listened to her mother talking about Mu Lian's affairs today, her cheeks blushed with longing.

Master craftsman, that is an honor that can only be won by the most powerful craftsman in Northern Qi.Is her master already a master craftsman at such a young age?
As if she could see what the little girl was thinking, Mu Lian stretched out her hand and touched her little head, "Master is not a master, it's just someone else's absurd praise. You first practice the painting skills that Master taught you yesterday. Only by learning to paint well can we embroider the best embroidery."

"Yeah!" Xiao Shuang nodded repeatedly, her dark eyes full of anticipation for the future.Maybe one day, she will be as good as Master.Before she knew it, the balance in the little girl's heart was tipping towards Mu Lian.

After eating, Zhou Wu found an excuse to send her daughter out.Mu Lian frowned, she felt that Zhou Wu seemed to have something to say to her alone.

I don't want Zhou Wushi to stand up, walk two steps, and kneel down in front of Mu Lian. Mu Lian avoided it in shock, how could she accept this kneeling?
"Sister Wu, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Mu Lian quickly reached out to help her.The latter nodded her head, bowed to her, and said, "Ms. Mu, I know you are not an ordinary person. I, Wu Mei, am already a widow. I don't want to do anything else in this life. I just ask you to find a good way out for Xiao Shuang." , I am willing to serve you all my life to repay your great kindness!"

"Sister Wu...," Mu Lian couldn't help feeling a bit sour in her eyes, feeling sorry for the parents all over the world.Faced with this situation, what can she say?

"Sister Wu, you are the benefactor who saved my life. Why do you say these sad words to poke my heart? I, Mu Lian, can swear to God that as long as I, Mu Lian, have a bite to eat in this life, I will never be called a little girl." Double hunger! As long as she is willing to learn from me and become rich and famous, she will not be able to escape even if she wants to."

The latter words were a bit playful, and Zhou Wushi laughed "puchi" when she was teased. Seeing this, Mu Lian used her inner strength with both hands, took the opportunity to help him up, and then comforted him a lot.

Speaking of Tianhai City, after Mu Lian left, shopkeeper Lin was blocked at home by a group of colleagues before he went out to visit celebrities with the "Sunrise Mountain Journey" left by the other party.

First, one person sneered and said, "Old Lin, I heard that the master-level embroidery "Sunrise Mountain Journey" that has been widely circulated in the city today is here with you? Show it out and let the old guys see it!"

"That's right, everyone came here when they heard the news, and they just wanted to see that embroidery." One person took over the conversation with a very earnest tone.Others booed after him.

Shopkeeper Lin, what scene have you never seen before?How can you be deceived by these few words?If he really took out the things, he might not be able to leave the gate of his shop today.

So, he waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing, Miss Mu has already given me the right to dispose of this embroidery and the exhibition in three days, you guys, you should all go home, wash and sleep. "

"Let's leave it to you?" One person couldn't help screaming, "Old Lin, I said you are not kind, you have to let others drink some soup if you eat meat yourself? This exhibition will be open for a few days, Do you want someone to maintain the scene? How many celebrities do you have to invite? My Bai family can be regarded as a prestigious figure, and I don't force anything, just be the number two partner!"

"Damn! Your Bai family can compare to my Han family. Which one is better in embroidery technology? Look for Han Qiang in Tianhai City! Once my Han family embroidery shop comes out, which one of you dare to compare? The second partner, my Han family, Do your part!" If this Han Qiang knew what PK was, he would definitely pull up his posture at this moment, roll up his sleeves, and prepare to show off what muscle is.

"Stop arguing, all of you. In terms of network, my Du family has deep roots, and my ancestors were granted the shade by the former emperor. That is the glory of the sun and the moon. How can you fireflies compare to it? The second partner's Identity, belong to my Du family!"

"Okay! You old man Du, you admit it. I know you look down on us locals! It's great that your ancestors came from the imperial capital, right? If you have the ability, go back to the imperial capital! I'm afraid you are the only one who can If you don’t have enough assets, you can’t even afford a house in the imperial capital!”

I don't know who was the first to break the water glass, who was the first to tear someone else's robe, or who punched someone in the face, or who was kicked on his ass.A dozen or so people were in a mess in the living room, and the scene was so chaotic that it was simply unsightly.

In the end, Shopkeeper Lin managed to escape from the encirclement, for no other reason than the group of people inside were all confused and in chaos. How long would it take him if he didn't escape now?
It seems that Miss Mu's reputation as a master craftsman has already spread in the city, and he may not be able to suppress this matter. For the present plan, it is better to truthfully report the situation here to the master.After shopkeeper Lin made up his mind, he hurriedly left the shop and walked towards Lin's house.
