Cai Wei was leisurely sitting on the Beauty Leans, holding a thick stack of silver bills in her hand, totaling a hundred thousand taels, just enough to buy ‘Mu’s Shen Record Shop’.
Today, she had moved all the gold and silver from her space to the newly bought house.
She found the most reputable ‘Changlong Bank’ in the Great Jin Nation, to count and deposit the silver into their bank.
These silvers totally amounted to twenty-two thousand taels, all were exchanged into silver bills, which would make it much more convenient to spend in future.
“Cai Wei’s younger sister looking for ?”
Under the moonlight, Huo Yuan slowly walked over, a warm smile floating on his handso face.
Cai Wei also smiled, handing over the thick stack of silver bills in her hand, and said, “I ca to discuss business with Young Master Huo.”
Receiving the bundle of banknotes, Huo Yuan sat down opposite her, randomly flipping through them.
Although there was still a smile on his face, his expression had dimd slightly.
She was willing to accept Nangong Yi’s one hundred thousand taels of silver, but couldn’t accept his Shen shop.
It seed that in her heart, he could never compare to that man!
He gave a faint smile and said, “That’s fine, you can co with to the Shen shop tomorrow.
I will transfer it to you and introduce the shopkeeper and waiters to you.”
“That’s great!”
Cai Wei’s smile was full of joy, “Finally, after months of effort, I have my own Shen shop.”
Under the moonlight, her smile was like the blooming of a magnolia flower, so beautiful that one couldn’t take their eyes off it, her voice was sweet but not greasy, and quietly elegant.
Huo Yuan, looking at the smile before his eyes, was montarily stunned, but quickly composed himself.
A smile appeared on his handso face, he teased, “I have fulfilled your wish, I wonder what gift you’ll give in return?”
Cai Wei laughed and said, “That’s simple.
As long as big brother Huo tells what you need most now, I’ll help you get it right away.”
Huo Yuan chuckled, his thin lips arching, uttered two words: “A wife!”
Cai Wei almost knocked her head on the stone table.
She managed to maintain the smile on her face, only it looked a bit stiff, like it was carved on.
Huo Yuan found her frustrated look amusing and his mood lightened.
After a while, he leisurely said, “Sister, don’t worry, I was just joking.
Wife is sothing that should happen naturally, it can wait.
If you really want to thank , you can embroider a purse or fan bag for as a thank-you gift.
That would be much more sincere than any gold or silver!”
With this conversation, Cai Wei had no choice but to agree.
Although her embroidery skills were zero, she had received such a huge favor from him, even if it felt like forcing a duck into flight, she had to try it, right?
Upon returning to Huifang Garden, she imdiately went to Fei’er’s room to find her.
Fei’er was very happy to hear that Cai Wei wanted to learn embroidery from her.
She imdiately thread a needle and started teaching her sister carefully.
In the beginning, Cai Wei found it very awkward.
If her stitches were not too big, they were stitched at an angle or she pricked her hand.
After clumsily practicing for half the day, she slowly got better.
As Fei’er spent ti with her sister, she began to talk more.
She shared so tips and experiences of learning Shu embroidery with her sister.
She also repeatedly expressed her admiration for Nanny Xi.
Then, she talked about an incident she ca across in the fabric store today.
This morning, as Cai Fei was getting off the horse carriage and was about to enter the fabric store, she suddenly saw an old maid drop her purse.
Out of kindness, she picked up the purse and shouted to stop the old woman, returning the purse to her.
The old woman was extrely grateful, saying that the purse contained a few pieces of her lady’s personal jewelry.
These pieces had so minor damage and the lady had asked her to take them for repair at the Masterpiece Building.
If lost, the monetary loss would be minor, but the real worry was the jewelry falling into the hand of a bandit as each piece had her lady’s na inscribed on it.
If it got out, it would surely damage her lady’s reputation!
