Chapter 501: No One Knows Tang Embroidery or How to Appraise It

Su Cha touched her forehead.
The key was that no one knew S.
Hence, she had to settle this matter herself.
If she did not deal with the matter regarding Myriad Mountain Embroiderer, Su Cha reckoned that it would be hard for her to do business. How could she raise the price of her work in the future?
According to Myriad Mountain Embroiderer, once a master had embroidered such a work, it should be taken to an exhibition and auctioned. Moreover, this embroidery method could not be used on inferior products like white cotton.
Putting aside the fact that the white cotton was an ordinary medium-quality cotton, how could a master not have the money to buy good cotton?!
Su Cha had thought about such matters regarding Tang embroidery a long time ago, but after all, someone had already noticed her. She did not expect that the first thing to stand out would not be the Tang embroidery itself. Most importantly, people did not believe that such a work could have been embroidered.
And she worked on them too fast.
Back then, she could make it in her spare time, and the finished product would be out in a week or two. But how would people nowadays know that the Tang embroidery technique was not only reflected in the work, but also in the speed?
Su Cha had been embroidering in that era for decades. The best master of Tang embroidery was her master. In other words, not only did she showcase the lost Tang embroidery, but her embroidery was also superior to others in the same era.
Even if it was a cheat, Su Cha would already be top-notch once she started.
No wonder others could not accept it.
After thinking for a while, Su Cha decided not to let the embroiderer slander her.
S replied to @Myriad Mountain Embroiderer: “Can’t a master not afford to buy cotton? Who told you that a master’s work must be auctioned? If you really think that I’m fake, I’ll send a work to the Embroidery Union and let them appraise it. How about it? Once the results are out, I don’t need you to apologize. Just send me three kowtows, and that’s that.”
After sending the message, Su Cha left Weibo.
It was obvious that it would blow up later. She just had to wait for the blogger’s response.
Of course, she was not just saying it casually. It was not Su Cha’s style to shrink back in the face of trouble. If someone came to slap her in the face, if she did not retaliate beautifully, what kind of slap in the face would that be?
Hence, Su Cha opened her WeChat and looked for Huo Zhongwei.
This person used to be in the Embroidery Union. He’d said that his teacher would contact her, but he did not. Although Su Cha did not mind, she wanted to ask if she could help him.
Cha Yi: “Yes?”
Huo Zhongwei: “Yes…”
Huo Zhongwei: “I saw what happened on Weibo. Is that S you?”
Cha Yi: “Well, I want to ask you for a favor. In exchange, you can make a request. There should be a master in your Embroidery Union who can appraise my work. I will send a piece to you, and the Union will have to appraise it for me to see if it is a Tang embroidery work or not.”
Huo Zhongwei: “… I have to tell you something.”
Huo Zhongwei: “We’ve already talked about the Tang embroidery. My teacher didn’t add you because they believed that the Tang embroidery was impossible and that you were lying.”
Su Cha paused.
Her lips curled up slowly as she started to type.
Cha Yi: “Okay, I got it.”
Huo Zhongwei: “But I can still help you with this matter. You can send the work to us. At least we can determine if your work is real embroidery.”
Cha Yi: “No need. Your words have reminded me: no one in your union knows how to appraise Tang embroidery.”
Huo Zhongwei: “…”
On the other side of the phone, Huo Zhongwei’s face suddenly felt like it was on fire.
