Su’s embroidery workshop was in the most prosperous business district of Yan City. It was one of the most famous high-end brands in the circle of well-known families in Yan City. The best embroiderer in the Yan City branch was Peach, who was 35 years old.

She heard that almost every customer who came to buy her embroidery was full of praise for her, although they were pricey. Peach Blossom could be considered the front of a branch in Yan City. Mu Qingyu had heard of her back in Jingchuan city.

This time, she went there to hand in her embroidery and to learn from this outstanding senior. All the embroiderers in the Su clan’s embroidery workshop had been selected through many rounds, so their skills were exquisite.

The items they embroidered were also in short supply, so naturally, there were more and more orders. The embroiderers in the workshop would accept the orders according to their abilities. They would mark the embroiderers’ names after one completed the work and would receive payment only when the customer received the order.

Every branch might receive orders from all over the country. One would send a completed embroidery to the nearest workshop to pack and mail the order to the customers. Someone from Jingchuan had requested Mu Qingyu to embroider Yu Zhonghe, and she was very generous.

“Young lady, are you going to the Su family to buy clothes?” The driver turned around and started a conversation with Mu Qingyu.

“I suggest you go to Bright Blossoms on the other side to take a look. The quality of their embroidery is comparable to that of the Su family. Furthermore, the people in their shop are much more enthusiastic than the Su family.”

“The Su Embroidery Workshop is an old brand.

“The quality should be better, right?”

Mu Qingyu pretended to be nonchalant and asked,

“I’m not local. Master, what do you think is not good about concubine Su?”

The driver smiled.

“It’s alright. I haven’t gone to buy anything. The Su family has been in Yan City for years. Back then, many wives and young ladies of rich and powerful families liked to buy clothes there.

“There was a time when I even pulled many foreign guests over and took such a long flight just to buy an haute couture piece from the Su family.

“After that, the business died down, but it’s in a good location and has a lot of old customers, so it’s still trendy in Yan City.

“However, ever since Bright Blossoms had bloomed, it had attracted several young people who liked Su embroidery but did not have a sufficient budget.

“Their family’s quality and reputation were good, and they had gradually attracted many madams. Of course, many people knew the price and quality of the goods. The most attractive about Jin’s place was its service. You can shop around if you’ve just arrived and don’t understand. You’ll know after you compare them.”

Mu Qingyu thanked the driver politely. The distance between the two shops was only one street. Compared to the distinguished atmosphere of Su’s embroidery workshop, the colorful front door did not appear grand. However, it was easy to tell whose business was better at a glance since their shop looked deserted and other shops had an endless stream of customers.

“Hey, hey, hey! This woman, don’t you touch the embroidery! If you dirty it, how are we going to sell it!”

The two shop assistants at the front desk initially whispered to each other, noticed Mu Qingyu’s actions, and one angrily shouted at her. Her voice startled Mu Qingyu. She quickly retracted her hand.

She noticed that the name “Peach” was embroidered on the lower right corner of the embroidery. She frowned.

“One cannot embroider names on the embroidery. Don’t you know that?

“This name ruined a good piece of work. Who allowed this to happen?!”

A shop assistant walked over unhurriedly. When she walked toward Mu Qingyu, she even snorted.

“This is the work of our master in our shop. Naturally, she has the right to embroider her name on it.

“Excuse me, miss, do you have any requests?”

“But this isn’t just the work of a single person. It’s also a product sold to customers!”

Mu Qingyu was indeed infuriated.

“Furthermore, only those who have needs can come in and take a look?”

The shop assistant looked at the woman who spoke softly, even when angry. She guessed that the woman was not from a rich and powerful family. Her expression became increasingly uglier and her tone more forceful.

“If you don’t have any needs, please go out and shop. We’re open for business, not for you to stroll around. Also, don’t point at our products. I suggest you go to other stores if you do not have money. Our products are quite expensive, and you can’t afford them.”
