Next, the group stopped by an embroidery shop. They bought silk thread, special pens for tracing patterns, an embroidery frame, and several small hoops. Afterward, they met up with Gu Zhang and the others at the city gate and headed home together.
Back home, Mrs. Chen took out the pair of pearl flowers she had bought and insisted on putting them in Gu Fei's hair.
Gu Fei felt a painful pang of regret when she heard they had cost ten taels of silver.
'But they were already bought. Leaving them in a box was just a waste. She might as well wear them. *Sigh*.'
Wearing the two pearl flowers on her head, Gu Fei returned to her room and shut herself inside. She took out the book, *Pearl Artificial Cultivation*, and copied it out using the script of the current era. She was vague about some of the contents that involved modern knowledge, either glossing over them or rephrasing them in different terms.
'Pearls are so valuable, how could she not farm them!'
'Farm them!'
