Farming Beautiful Widow - C143
When Wen Xiu brought the child to the cloth farm, Manager Feng sent off the big customer, who looked like a well-dressed customer, to the door. He sent the customer off with enthusiasm and watched him leave before turning around with a slight bow to see Wen Xiu standing at the door.
“Heh, you’ve come at the right time. I was planning to go to Xitang Village to find you in the afternoon.” Manager Feng’s eyes lit up. His face was red and he seemed very happy. As he greeted Wen Xiu, he invited her to the backyard.
There were many who bought cloth and cotton, and when they saw the shopkeeper enthusiastically invite a country woman into the backyard, their faces were full of respect. They all stretched out their necks to look inside, wondering what kind of background that woman had just reached.
However, there was a curtain hanging at the door between the backyard and the cloth farm. After shaking for a while, it returned to its previous calmness, obstructing everyone’s line of sight. Standing outside, they were unable to see through it at all.
The shop assistant was more quick-witted and did not mention that Zhang Yangwen and Soo Soo were the most popular people in the shop. Instead, he called over the guests to buy some clothes and pull out some clothes for the customers to choose from.
Soon, the cloth shop returned to normal.
Manager Feng invited Wen Xiu into the backyard and quickly asked the maidservant to make tea.
The maidservant slipped into the kitchen and waited for her to bring two cups of tea to the parlour. On the tray, there were two plates of pastries that looked quite exquisite. After serving the tea, he placed one plate of pastries on the table between Manager Feng and Wen Xiu, while the other plate was specially given to Tree and Tong Tong.
The two children had never seen shining pastries before and were very envious. However, without their mother’s permission, no matter how much they wanted to eat, they didn’t make a move. Only when Wenxiu allowed him to do so did he happily go to the side and eat dessert seriously.
Manager Feng saw that the two children were very fond of him. His youngest son was probably not much older than the two of them, but he was still a bit disobedient and mischievous. It was the same when he went to school. Looking at the well-behaved siblings, he had the illusion that “good children belong to others”.
Manager Feng knew about Wenxiu’s situation and knew that Li Jun had been missing for a long time before returning. Xitang Village could say anything, but the weirdest thing was to say that Li Jun had faked her death and returned her soul. However, he was not gossipy, and the reason why he looked for Wenxiu was purely for the business. After his gaze stopped on the two children for a moment, he began to talk about serious matters, “Sister-in-law, you don’t know how popular the design you gave me was. “After the embroidery lady matched the colors you gave her, it was both beautiful and special. I came to sell it for a round and sold a total of eighteen sets.”
Although this number of eighteen was not a lot, it was still decided without even looking at the embroidery sample. It could already be considered pretty good. Previously, Wenxiu had asked him to promote her because she wanted to let the people in the town understand the new tricks. She did not expect that it would be decided so happily.
Manager Feng was excited, thinking of the money rolling in, he was excited and joked, “These few days, I’ve been busy from morning to night, and there’s an endless stream of customers. I’m not wearing any clothes here, I’m afraid I’ll have to change my appearance and become that embroidery workshop.”
Wenxiu smiled and did not speak. As long as she could make money, why not turn the cloth shop into an embroidery workshop? Or it could be said that although it took more effort to separate the embroidery workshop from the cloth shop, the embroidery workshop could still be expanded indefinitely.
“Dad, I heard from the shop assistant that that young sister-in-law is here to send us off.”
A clear and cold voice was heard. Wen Xiu and Manager Feng looked out at the same time. A tall young man walked in with his back to the sun.
After he entered the room, he called out to his father twice. His gaze first fell on the tree and the Tong Tong, before finally landing on Wen Xiu. At this moment, the scholar could clearly see his face.
The young man was clean and white, with good skin and good facial features. He was wearing a blue jacket, and his collar was open. His snow-white fur collar was slightly trembling with his movements, and his fine hair was fluttering in the wind.
“Eh, it’s you!” Wenxiu quickly sized up the young man and looked into his eyes. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed as he pointed at Wenxiu in surprise and said.
Wenxiu frowned. She did not know this person.
From his son’s tone, it seemed that the two had met before, but without knowing the reason, they asked in surprise: “Chuan’er, you know sister-in-law?”
However, Feng Chuan smiled and shook his head, “I don’t. It’s just that when I went to pick up little brother from school, I bought two skewers of candied fruits from this little sister-in-law.”
Wenxiu finally understood in her heart. It was someone who had bought the candied flakes from her. However, her candied fruits business was too good for her to handle. She couldn’t remember what the person who bought the candied fruits looked like.
“My name is Wen Xiu. You can call me by my name.”
At first, when Manager Feng called her “sister-in-law”, she didn’t think anything was wrong, but when Feng Chuan and Manager Feng both called her “sister-in-law”, she felt something was wrong.
He couldn’t tell what was wrong, but it felt weird.
It had not been one or two times since Wen Xiu had interacted with Manager Feng. Now that she was formally introducing him, Manager Feng was still not used to it. He was stunned for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
“Wen Xiu, this is my eldest son, Feng Chuan.” After introducing Feng Chuan to him, he then formally introduced him to Feng Chuan, “Chuan’er, our family’s booming business in recent days is all thanks to Wen Xiu’s new idea. “Not only that, but the drawings she drew weren’t something I’ve never seen before. There were a lot of people who hadn’t seen them, but I liked them very much.”
Feng Chuan nodded again and again, and laughed: “Father, I just returned from Yongan City, these few days, all the cloth villages in Yongan City have been on fire, everyone is fighting over the order, and the business is very good. “This wind, it’ll be in the capital soon.”
“That’s for sure!”
The father and son duo chatted merrily.
Wenxiu looked at Feng Chuan and thought to himself: “This Young Master Feng is only around twenty years of age. He is of good looks and has a good family background. I didn’t expect him to be so approachable.”
Feng Chuan saw that Wen Xiu was lost in thought and called out to her a few times. Only then did Wen Xiu regain her train of thoughts.
Wenxiu was somewhat embarrassed as the corners of her mouth twitched. She smiled and said, “I wonder what Eldest Young Master has just said. Can you say it again?”
Feng Chuan was very careless and did not mind her earlier attitude at all. He repeated: “I just asked you, other than the two diagrams you gave my dad that day, is there anything else?”
“Of course.” Wen Xiu replied. She took out a few small steps filled with pictures and spread them out on the table for the father and son to see. Then she continued, “These pictures are not cartoon. Therefore, in order to open up the market and earn more silver, I intend to sell these designs to the cloth farms in the city. Young Master, I’m afraid you will have to make a trip to Yongan City. “
