Chapter 664 - 662 What’s wrong?
The two women were so engrossed in their conversation that they had already taken seats by the window of the cloth shop.
Xiuqin had no choice but to stand guard beside Lady Zhao with Xiao Cui.
"It turns out your son is Steward Wong? Around this time last year, Steward Wong visited the capital, didn’t he? My nephew spoke highly of Steward Wong to our family, saying that such skilled craftsmanship is rare, the one known as Wong Qiao," Madam Qian exclaimed in surprise.
Lady Zhao was also taken aback, as Ah Qiao had indeed been in the capital last year, "Yes, yes, at the end of last year, Ah Qiao came to the capital to assist the Ministry of Works with a piece of equipment."
Madam Qian clapped her hands, "That’s right, it indeed was Steward Wong. Lady Zhao, you are so fortunate to have such a son, you will surely enjoy your later years."
"Not at all, he’s just a craftsman, not worth much." Looking at her Ah Qiao, with such fame—if he ran his own business, he could definitely earn large coins. Jobs that earned three thousand taels of silver within a few days—Ah Qiao would lead a few people to complete them in a few days and make a fortune.
But now, Ah Qiao had worked with the Qi family for several years and only received seven thousand taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Lady Zhao couldn’t help but purse her lips in disapproval of the approaches of Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan.
