BXBX NOVEL Chapter 508 - Bribing the Old Madam
Chapter 508: Bribing the Old Madam
Since the old lady had dealings with them, it proved that she liked embroidery.
Su Cha did not expect this. After all, she would not ask about such things when she had nothing to do.
Since she was going to ask the old lady for help, Su Cha had an idea.
It was not difficult for her to make embroidery as soon as possible, but time was too tight. She still had to embroider a piece for the people in the Cultural Center to appraise. After thinking about it, she decided to embroider a handkerchief for the old lady.
The Chinese regarded the peony as a precious flower. Although it was tacky to use it often, it would definitely look good when embroidered.
Hence, Su Cha wanted to make a peony-embroidered handkerchief.
She went to buy a piece of white silk and cut a small piece, which was enough to make a silk handkerchief.
After spending a day in school, Su Cha avoided others to embroider in the classroom alone. When someone came by, she could quickly notice it and pretend to be studying. No one would find it problematic.
After school, the handkerchief was embroidered.
The peony on it looked lifelike, as if it could move with a light breeze.
The color was just right. It was exquisite and beautiful. Beside the peony, there was a blue butterfly dancing.
The white handkerchief was dazzling.
It looked very expensive.
After putting away the handkerchief, Su Cha went to the old lady after school.
The old lady was sitting in the Lookout Pavilion, drinking tea leisurely. She was surprised to see Su Cha.
“Oh, you have time to visit me today?”
Su Cha smiled. “Grandma, can’t I come to see you?”
The old lady smiled gently. “You don’t visit unless you need something. Tell me, what’s the matter?”
She raised her hand and asked the servant to brew a cup of tea for Su Cha.
Su Cha did not beat around the bush and smiled. “I can’t hide it from you, Grandma.”
As she spoke, she took out a carefully packaged wooden box and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady was a little surprised to see her taking out the box. “Why are you giving me this?”
Su Cha held her cheeks and smiled. “Didn’t Grandma say that I don’t visit unless I need something? Of course, I have to bribe you before I ask you to do anything.”
“You child...”
Her straightforward teasing made the old lady feel better. If Su Cha had dilly-dallied, the old lady might not have had the patience. She could just speak directly without beating around the bush.
Although she was surprised that Su Cha would seek her help, the old lady still took the box and pressed the button on it. The box opened.
The neatly folded handkerchief was in the box. The old lady looked at it and took out the handkerchief.
It had not been opened yet, but she saw that the material was good. It was high-quality white silk, but it was a basic item for them.
However, when the old lady opened the handkerchief and saw the peony and butterfly pattern on it, her eyes flashed with amazement.
She seemed to be surprised. She carefully touched the needle and thread on it and looked at it for a long time. She could not help but say lovingly, “Master Yun’s new work? But the style doesn’t seem to be the same. Which master’s new work is it? And how did you get it?”
The Cloud Ancestor was the pinnacle representative of Yun Xiu. The old lady’s tone suggested she was familiar with that person. It was obvious that she was on good terms with the other party. Su Cha did not mind and smiled. “Grandma, you are overthinking. I embroidered this handkerchief myself. I want to ask you for help, and it has something to do with it.”
