Although I don’t know whether Xu Xi’s words are truth or flattery, who doesn’t like to hear good words?

When Mrs. Xiao heard what she said, she immediately laughed and asked, "How do you know he has no intention of buying any more design drawings?"

Xu Xi snorted coquettishly, "You didn't see the pain in his heart when he took out a hundred taels to buy my design. If you hadn't said something, madam, he would have sold the design to you because he didn't like it. He probably wouldn't have even thought of it."

He would spend a hundred taels of silver to buy that picture. I think he planned to spend a hundred taels of silver to buy ten pictures."

Mrs. Xiao suddenly laughed "hahaha".

After entering the Hou Mansion, Xu Xi had a lot of contact with these ancient women. Not only the wives and ladies of the Hou Mansion, but also the women in the village like Xie and Xu Xue, all behaved in a chaste and quiet manner, smiling.

Always try to control how much you open your mouth, and at the same time cover your mouth with a handkerchief or palm to prevent others from seeing your teeth.

But the Mrs. Xiao in front of her had a bold and unrestrained smile. She opened her mouth and laughed without any intention of covering it up.

Xu Xi fell in love with Mrs. Xiao right away.

"Okay, you trust me, I can't be pretentious anymore, right?" Mrs. Xiao smiled, reached for the brocade box, opened the lid, took out the design drawings inside, and read them one by one.

Xu Xi would not sell dog meat on the head of a sheep. The rest of her designs were all carefully designed by her. Their ingenuity and exquisiteness were no worse than the first bird picture. Mrs. Xiao read each one and couldn't put it down. She liked every one.

no.

After reading it, she counted, there were nine in total, and she directly ordered, "Mother Yun, pay Miss Zhao nine hundred taels of silver."

The mother-in-law standing behind Mrs. Xiao took out her money bag from her arms and counted nine silver notes to Xu Xi.

Xu Xi took the bank note and thanked her, then asked Mrs. Xiao, "I wonder if Madam bought these pictures and asked craftsmen to make them for herself to wear, or did she run a silver shop at home?"

"Of course I wear it myself..." Mrs. Xiao said this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Opening a silver building?"

She turned to look at Grandma Yun and asked enthusiastically, "Mammy, how about we open a silver building?"

Aunt Yun looked at Mrs. Xiao, her eyes full of doting, "Miss, if you think it would be good to open a bank, then open a bank. Madam has said, just do whatever you want."

Mrs. Xiao's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly recovered and looked at Xu Xi, "Miss Xu, are you interested in opening a silver building together?" She raised the design drawing in her hand, "I think you have a very clever mind.

If you design jewelry, our silver shop will definitely be crowded with customers."

It is impossible for Xu Xi not to be moved.

She suddenly came to a strange world. Although the Xu family was very kind to her, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion and the eldest lady seemed to be nice to her as well, she did not feel safe.

She doesn't trust others, she only believes in herself. Only when she builds a career foundation, has a stable financial source, and buys a house can she feel stable. As for getting married? Haha, men are all big pigs. Who can I rely on?

It's better to rely on yourself. She thought so in modern times, and she still thought so in ancient times.

Therefore, she had to make money, and she had to work hard to build her own career in this strange world. And right in front of her was a good opportunity.

"If Madam thinks highly of me, I will naturally be very happy. But apart from designing, I can't do anything else. I have no money and no people, so the word 'together' is out of the question. When the time comes, Madam can hire me to work for Madam

I just need to give me a certain amount of compensation for each design drawing. Of course, this is only if Madam is satisfied with my design. If she is not satisfied, Madam will hire someone else."

Grandma Yun was a little anxious when she heard what her master said. Now when she heard what Xu Xi said, she felt relieved and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

In fact, their family is not short of money, and opening a bank is just to let their young lady relax. Partnering with someone is nothing more than giving some money to the other person, which is okay. I just don’t know the other person’s details, in case the other person has bad character and has evil intentions.

Yes, wouldn't that be a joy? She caused trouble, and the people in the house knew about it, and they didn't know how to laugh at her young lady.

So you can't just recruit people into your gang rashly, you have to find out the details of the other party.

Aunt Yun had this concern, and so did Xu Xi. So even though she was tempted, she still declined.

Mrs. Xiao said that because she liked Xu Xi's design and had a good impression of her. Seeing that Xu Xi did not climb up the pole but declined instead, her impression of Xu Xi became even better.

She didn't force herself and said with a smile, "Okay, anyway, the store is not there yet. Let's talk about this matter after I finish organizing." She paused and asked, "Where does Miss Zhao live?"

"I am a student admitted to the Women's College this year. If Madam needs something, you can ask someone to come to the college to find me."

"A student from a women's college?" Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened.

Aunt Yun laughed, "Oh, what a coincidence. My young lady comes to teach at the Girls' College."

"Ah?" Xu Xi and the three of them were shocked.

Xu Xi reacted very quickly, stood up quickly, took Xu Xue's hand, stood side by side with her, and saluted Mrs. Xiao, "Student Xu Xi, pay your respects to the Master."

Xu Xue now understood what Xu Xi meant, and followed her example and saluted Mrs. Xiao, "Student Xu Xue, please pay your respects to the Master."

Mrs. Xiao had already stood up and helped Xu Xi up. Seeing Xu Xue also bowing, and hearing that she called herself a student, she couldn't help but be surprised. She pointed at Xu Xue and said, "This is..."

During the entrance exam, Xu Xi knew that the Women's College attached great importance to the students' conduct. Now that Mrs. Xiao is their teacher, their details will always be known in the future. In this case, it is better to confess now and leave something to the other party.

Next good impression.

"The Marquis of Suiping has a daughter who was carried by the wrong child. I wonder if Madam has ever heard of it? The girl who was carried by the wrong child and was raised in the countryside is me." Xu Xi said with a smile.

She pointed to Mrs. Xie, "This is the aunt of my adoptive parents, the Xu family." Then she pointed to Xu Xue, "This is the cousin of the Xu family."

She smiled apologetically at Mrs. Xiao and said, "I want to make some money by myself and go to the bank to sell design drafts. My aunt and sister were worried about me going alone and wanted to accompany me. They were worried that I would be looked down upon by others.

We don’t dress like a family, so I voluntarily pretended to be a servant and went with me, I didn’t mean to deceive anyone.”

As soon as Mrs. Xie heard Xu Xi's words, she knew what she was worried about, and her heart started to rise. She quickly said, "Yes, madam. Xiao Xi is a filial child. She earns this money not to spend it on herself, but to watch our lives."
