Uncle Wang, holding the mended wedding dress, was overwhelmed with excitement. He said, "Girl, with skills like yours, the embroidery women at Xiu Fang Pavilion would want you as their teacher. Not only did you mend it well, but the peony you later embroidered, so vivid and lifelike, is truly the crowning touch. Absolutely beautiful."
Embarrassed by the compliment, An Ge smiled shyly and then, on a whim, asked, "Uncle Wang, if I were to open a workshop like Xiu Fang Pavilion, do you think I could make money?"
Without a moment's hesitation, Uncle Wang blurted out, "Of course you could. A piece by a top embroidery woman at Xiu Fang Pavilion starts at a hundred thousand, and if the Second Madam does it, the minimum is a million. Your skills rival the Second Madam's. There's no reason you wouldn't make money."
Uncle Wang, still ecstatic, cheerfully added, "Girl, if you really open that workshop, I'll work for you, hehe."
An Ge thought for a moment and said, "Really?"
