Chapter 15 - 15. Reputation was important

His stupid son went to play in stables with his dog and scared literally all these pigs to death so he had to butcher them quickly.

Su Fei knew it was good deal as last time she got one piece with few catiss and paid whopping hundred fifty Wen only for that.

All five pigs were sent to the carraige, baskets with offals and cleaned guts were brought to carraige as well pots with fat and pig blood.

As they left the town few people were stunned as the butcher closed his stand quickly and left.

Luckily there were more nearby that gritted their teeth. If they spoken maybe this people would have bought more.

As they traveled into Peach village with so many pigs, of course people gathered and greedily looked at the five pigs.

"I plan keeping two for food and drying. Rest will be sold in village. Anyone want to buy come to my house later. I need to set up travel and will sell in a bit.'

Of course he had no plan selling fat, just meat of three smaller push while two larger ones he plans cutting himself.

This was a man's work. Girls can season it at their liking but everything else he plans doing.

Soon bunch of people came and tej three pigs were sold in just short time while the rest of pisg were already in their storage so people wouldn't ask for it.

He brought back carriage and gifted to the Su clan elder some meat but Su Fei had came as well.

"Elder, I need to report something. It's important." She bowed politely and glanced at the man that soon will be next elder bit still spoke to the old man nearby.

"I went down to the Su store to sell my embroidery but the woman owning the store was not inside than some unknown person. She was very ruse so I left, please forgive me for doing this." She spoke lies but had to deal it this way to have good excuse.

"This, this..." He patted his table. Su store was actually place where Su women could sell their embroidery at fair price.

Su Fei shook her head. "We left the store and went to rest in nearby tea house but saw the store being closed inid of the day so we were quite curious. As we waited..."

She told whole story of meeting Princess Mingzhu.

"Even if MeiMei is a bit spoiled, she isn't a bad person I know that. The problem is that someone is using her name to smear Su family intentionally. That girl has no idea that rumors about her being unhinged spread even to ears of royals. Elder, bring MeiMei back. I need to tach her few rules before entering again that mansion. This is perfect way to repair Su family name and let her meet royals. This is one in lifetime possibility. How often commoners like us can meet people of royal blood?"

He needed as he stroked his white beard. "We indeed have many enemies, but Su clan indeed lately has bad name. Meeting royals can truly help."

As expected the anxious person next to him stepped forward. "Do you need any help?"

She nodded and this time directly looked at his eyes. "I need women that have quick hads and good ability. I promised soft cushions in ten days. They have large family. The more cushions we make the bteer. We need people that can make soft stuffing inside. There are as well older people so we need as well high leaning sides they will need to rest that need to be soft but not too soft so they can lean on it. I need at least two dozen of embroidering women that will embroider various things. We can't go anything big but it has to be done with high quality. If we to good job, our Su name will definitely spread."

He had big plans and having excellent name was important. "I will handle everything. You need to embroider just for the royals."

She shook her head. "Ten days is too short. I can embroider only five pillows at best. Bring MeiMei as well. She will be staying this time in my house. Time is literally what matters this time. We must hurry."

He nodded and stayed back to speak to elders to make plans while she went home and prepared seasonings for meat.

Suddenly five young cousins came and silently helped Su Quan to deal with the meat while she prepared five different seasoning mixes.

Actually, they were from space, but she mixed them with fresh seasonings she bought in store and explained which mixture is for what.

That was end of her work.

She quickly entered room and came outside to embroider with her sister first the pillows she plans giving to Princess Mingzhu herself.

This one was a gift she already promised.

Ten days later she arrived at the mansion with carriage that was covered tightly.

As soon she arrived guards rushed to report while the three girls in similar clothes stood politely close to the gates, not fussing at all.

And MeiMei found out that her name was going wild in surroundings and was actually stunned.

Yes, she is spoiled amxade fuss now and then but not to the point to be vicious or harmful. She just likes to act like that only on Su village.

Outside, in Qian village where her father is from she is spoiled only in front of her relatives when no one is around.

She never expected that her name tpuld be go bad that even royals started looking down on her maternal family.

And yes, since she was only girl with Su bloodline, she got Su last name, not Qian.

Her father accepted it as this was whole clan can protect her, while his family was against bit didn't dare to make fuss as their daughter-in-law was truly exceptional.

Hearing that her name was thrown in mud even Qian family rushed her to go and she willingly came.

But she never expected...
