“I’m truly sorry. I should’ve addressed you the right way. Madam, it seems that you plan on making more than ten kinds of furniture, and I really can’t understand some of them. Could you share with me a few pointers?”
“Of course.”
Yue Jiaojiao had never thought that after showing these blueprints to others, they would immediately understand what she wanted. Just as she spoke, another person came in.
“Sir, I also have a big business deal with you.” Lin Yunxu was dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe. He fanned himself as he strolled into the courtyard. “I’ve been planning to open a restaurant recently, and I need dozens of tables and chairs. If you can help me with the work, I can pay you an extra ten percent of silver.”
Master Chen looked left and right with a troubled expression, “The tables and chairs that the restaurant needs can be made by my disciples here. If they prioritize this work, I believe they will be able to make it in time. Moreover, it was this Madam Zhao who asked for me first, so I would not be able to meet your requests.”
“Madam Zhao?”
Lin Yunxu pretended to be puzzled and turned his head to take a look. Then, he tapped his folding fan on his palm and said excitedly, “Have we met before in Huai County?”
This person was used to putting on an act.
Yue Jiaojiao took a step back to avoid suspicion. Her eyes were cold as she spoke, “I don’t think we’ve met before. I won’t have any impressions on such appearance.”
Lin Yunxu’s movements paused, and the words he had prepared were suddenly stuck in his mouth.
As expected of the little lady with a personality that he had taken a fancy to, what an interesting reaction.
Back in Huai County, she had clearly been infatuated with him. Now, she must be putting on such a chaste look in front of others.
Lin Yunxu convinced himself and put on a gentle smile again.
“I’m sure you won’t remember me, but I still remember you.
“May I know what kind of furniture you’d would like to make? I’ve read a lot of books and can help you come up with ideas. I guarantee that the things you get will be the latest ones.”
What he could give was not something that a poor hunter could say.
Lin Yunxu’s chin was slightly raised, and there was a confident smile on his lips.
“Can I explain this part first?” Yue Jiaojiao pretended that there were flies buzzing in her ears as she asked Master Chen softly, “One more thing, I want to get all this furniture within two months. Can make it in time?”
After the furniture was done, Yue Jiaojiao wanted to dry it to get rid of the wooden smell. Otherwise, her nose would be very uncomfortable if she used it.
She wanted to make a lot of furniture. If Master Chen couldn’t make it in time, she would find another carpenter and split the work in half.
“Also, I need you to help me cut these wooden boards. It looks easy, but it takes a lot of effort to make each wooden board. If you can make all of them, money will be of no issue.”
Seeing that the other party had no intention of paying attention to him, the expression on Lin Yunxu’s face cracked a little. He interrupted Yue Jiaojiao’s words, “Is there actually something that I have never seen before? Can take a look at this drawing?”
“You’re an outsider, why do you keep talking to her?” Li Miao was carrying out the mission Zhao Zhan had given her. She could not bear it any longer. “From what you’re trying to show, you should be a scholar. Why are you so being so insensible? Since you’ve studied, you should know how to write the word suspicious, right?”
