Chapter 76: A Business-Minded Woman

Xu Qing looked over and saw an elegant woman walking down from the second floor. The person looked to be in her thirties and was charming. Her long black hair was tied behind her head with a wooden hairpin, and there was a gentle look on her face. She had an agate bracelet on her wrist. She didn’t have many expensive jewelry on her, but from her temperament, one could tell that she was extraordinary!

“Miss.” The sales and shop manager from earlier sounded respectful.

The woman waved her hand and walked towards Xu Qing. Her red lips parted slightly. “I’m not bragging, but in the entire ancient country, the embroidery of Beautiful Closet can’t be said to be number one. They’re all extraordinary. I wonder what you think is bad about the things here?”

Xu Qing retracted her gaze and said calmly, “The embroidery in Beautiful Closet is exquisite, and the material used is also high-grade. However, it lacks vivacity. I can only say that this is an ordinary embroidery.”

The woman’s eyes lit up. “Then what do you think embroidery with vivacity looks like?”

Xu Qing smiled and said, “I didn’t find it in this shop, so I can’t give you an example.”

The woman suddenly smiled. “I’m the owner of this shop. My name is Deng Chengxi.”

Xu Qing was a little surprised. Wasn’t it a little too rash for them to introduce themselves on their first meeting? But since the other party was so sincere, she didn’t hide her identity. “My name is Xu Qing.”

Deng Chengxi said in a friendly manner, “I think you’re younger than me, so I’ll call you Little Qing. If you don’t mind, please follow me upstairs to take a look.”

Xu Qing glanced at Qiao Yanhui and was about to ask him to stay there when she heard Deng Chengxi say with a smile, “This is your husband, right? If you don’t mind, come in together.”

Xu Qing nodded and pulled Qiao Yanhui while following behind Deng Chengxi.

Qiao Yanhui stood quietly behind Xu Qing and only stared at her, as if his surroundings were empty.

Xu Qing looked at the inner room and asked, “Sister Chengxi, if you have anything to say, just say it. I don’t have much patience.”

Deng Chengxi picked up her teacup elegantly and gently inhaled the fragrance of the tea. Then, she said, “Because this is the first time I’ve met someone who shares my opinion, I’m a little excited. A piece of embroidery without a soul is trash.”

Xu Qing saw the appreciation in Deng Chengxi’s eyes and her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know how to embroider! “Uh… Sister Chengxi, my embroidery skills aren’t good.”

“It’s okay. What do you think of this embroidery?” Deng Chengxi said as she took out a handkerchief embroidered with peonies and handed it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was shocked. It was actually a double-sided embroidery! The two sides were in the shape of different peonies. This embroidery technique was precious even in her previous life. Of course, her mother’s embroidery skills were also very good, but Qu Feng was even better at unusual acupuncture techniques, and the final effect was also different.

“It’s vivid, like a real flower.” Xu Qing nodded in praise.

Deng Chengxi smiled and took back her handkerchief. She continued to ask, “What do you want to customize?”

Xu Qing didn’t hide it. “A wedding dress.”

Deng Chengxi looked at the man behind Xu Qing and then at Xu Qing while feeling a little regretful. She thought that the two of them were already married, but she didn’t expect them to be preparing to get married. Although this fool was handsome, he was only handsome and not that stunning. It was a pity.

Xu Qing didn’t know what Deng Chengxi was thinking. She took out the design draft.

Deng Chengxi took it in confusion. The more she looked at it, the more amazed she became. “Did you design this yourself?”

Xu Qing nodded subconsciously.

“Good!” Deng Chengxi praised. These wedding attire, whether it is the one for the bride or the groom, are very novel and brilliant! Even she wanted to get married when she saw it… but to her, marriage…

Deng Chengxi suppressed her emotions and looked at Xu Qing. “I’ll make this set of clothes for you for free.”

“That’s not appropriate!” Xu Qing quickly refused.

Deng Chengxi didn’t say anything. She just looked at Xu Qing with bright eyes. Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat. Qiao Yanhui, who was behind her, saw that Xu Qing was being stared at. He immediately pouted and frowned as he stood in front of Xu Qing with a fierce look.

Deng Chengxi didn’t know how to react. She drank her tea in embarrassment.

“Little Hui, come back.” Xu Qing helplessly pulled him back.

When Qiao Yanhui heard this, he glared at Deng Chengxi before returning obediently. He was a good husband, so he had to listen to his wife!

“He’s just like that. Don’t mind him.” Xu Qing was also very embarrassed.

“He cares about you.” Sadness flashed across Deng’s face, but it was hidden by excitement again. “Do you know how to design other clothes?”

Hearing this, Xu Qing understood her thoughts. Deng Chengxi was really smart.
