More than fifty years ago, the Dali Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty, was about to collapse.

There were beacons everywhere, wars broke out frequently, and the insurrectionary army pointed its troops towards Xia Yang, the imperial capital.

The last emperor, Emperor Yong'an, was fatuous and incompetent. In order to protect his throne, he issued the most ridiculous military order in history, ordering all major border troops to immediately lead their troops back to the capital, King Qin.

There are seven states in the north of Daxia, and the only three border states bordering the grassland are Qingzhou, Youzhou and Yunzhou.

The border troops were transferred away by Emperor Yong'an, causing the entire northern border to fall into an unprecedented emptiness.

Naturally, the wolf clan would not miss this opportunity. One hundred thousand wolves rode into an uninhabited land, and the local garrison was unable to resist.

In just half a month, the wolf tribe captured most of the three major border states.

If not, Lanling Mansion has a natural line of defense in the Lanling River, so the wolf clan, who are not familiar with water, can only despair.

Otherwise, the entire Lanling Mansion will be in ruins.

Liu Guixiang was originally from Youzhou, and her family was the largest cloth merchant in Youzhou.

The Zhao family, my husband's family, has inherited a century-old cloth dyeing family.

However, when the nest is overturned, there are no eggs left intact.

No matter how long-established a wealthy family is, they are just cattle and sheep left to be slaughtered by the inhumane Wolf Riders.

There were thousands of members of the two families. Except for Liu Guixiang, who was pregnant and was pushed to the Lanling River by her husband, no one survived. They were all killed by the wolf clan's butcher's knife.

Liu Guixiang, who has been a good swimmer since she was a child, witnessed her loved ones being brutally murdered, and was so devastated that she had no love for the rest of her life.

Although she had the opportunity to go ashore, she remained indifferent and allowed the river to carry her down the river.

Perhaps her life was not meant to be taken. When she was unconscious and dying, she happened to be rescued by Jiang Weixin who was fishing on the river.

Jiang Weixin is a widower. His wife died in childbirth two years ago, leaving him with only a one-year-old son, Jiang Hua.

After rescuing Liu Guixiang, he saw that she was a pregnant woman. After learning of her tragic experience, he felt compassion for her.

He treated her with kindness, took care of her in every possible way, and took care of her in every possible way.

Not long after, Liu Guixiang gave birth to a daughter, named Zhao Mei.

Under Jiang Weixin's careful care and comfort, Liu Guixiang gradually walked out of the shadow of the past.

I was grateful for his life-saving grace, and since they were orphans and widowed, they really had nowhere to go, so I simply offered myself to him.

Perhaps it was the root of the disease left behind by being in the water for too long, which caused her to completely lose her fertility.

Although Jiang Weixin said he didn't care, Liu Guixiang always felt sorry for him.

Seeing that Jiang Hua loved his daughter Zhao Mei very much, when they grew up, he decided to get married and get married.

This is why Liu Guixiang is both Jiang Xia’s grandmother and grandma.

The two children were already in love with each other, and became even more affectionate after marriage. Zhao Mei also gave birth to six boys for Jiang Hua one after another.

Maybe it's because things are rare and valuable.

In rural areas, boys are favored over girls, but Jiang Weixin's family is an exception. Girls are particularly rare.

Therefore, when Laoqi Jiangxia was born, he immediately became everyone's darling.

Her grandparents, parents and six brothers all spoiled her like a little princess.

I really hold it in my hand for fear of falling, and hold it in my mouth for fear of melting.

But having more children means a heavy burden. With so many children, the family simply cannot afford to raise them.

In order to support her family, Liu Guixiang, who had no intention of touching cloth again for fear of being involved in heartache, had to return to her old business and started working as a tailor.

Because of her good craftsmanship and excellent workmanship of clothes, she soon became a famous seamstress from all over the country.

As for her daughter Zhao Mei, under Liu Guixiang's careful instruction, she was extremely talented in dyeing and tailoring, and soon acquired her true heritage.

Young people always have more vivid ideas than old people. Zhao Mei is not willing to stay in the quiet Tianmen Village for the rest of her life.

So, after discussing with her husband Jiang Hua, they reached a consensus and left the children to the old couple to take care of. They went to Qinghe County and opened a mom-and-pop shop called Jiang Ji Tailor Shop.

In those days, there were no ready-made clothes to buy. People would buy their own clothes, either make them themselves, or pay tailors to help them make ready-made clothes.

The couple can be regarded as seizing this golden period. With their superb craftsmanship, they quickly gained a reputation and established a firm foothold in Qinghe County.

But Zhao Mei is a very ambitious and far-sighted woman, and is not satisfied with being a tailor in a small county.

And Lanling Mansion became her next target.

Not long after, she handed over the tailor shop to her apprentice, and the couple took the money they saved and went to Lanling Mansion to open Jiangji Cloth Shop.

With his shrewd mind, he quickly made the business prosperous.

But they still haven't stopped the pace of expansion, and they have branches in major cities and even the capital.

The couple has been busy all day long and has not returned to Tianmen Village for many years.

At least, Jiang Guanyu felt that he had not seen the couple for about ten years.

But no matter how many branches they opened, the tailor shop in Qinghe County was where they made their fortune, and they didn't want to lose it.

After the apprentice in charge resigned and started his own business, Zhao Mei implored her mother, Liu Guixiang, to help out.

Liu Guixiang didn't want to go. She was used to the ordinary life in Tianmen Village. She was already very old and didn't want to bother herself for such a small amount of money.

But maybe it was God's will. Not long after, his wife Jiang Weixin fell asleep and passed away.

Perhaps she was afraid of being hurt by the incident, or perhaps Jiang Xia happened to be admitted to the County No. 2 Middle School at that time, so she suddenly changed her mind and moved to Qinghe County to work as a tailor again.

Zhao Mei and his wife already have a lot of money. They don't really expect this store to make money, it's just nostalgia.

Unexpectedly, Liu Guixiang is getting stronger and stronger with age. Even at such an old age, her craftsmanship has not diminished at all.

Jiang Ji Tailor Shop, which was already on the verge of bankruptcy, miraculously came back to life in less than half a year after she came back to work.

It is said that even the prefect of Lanling Prefecture came here to ask her to help his wife make clothes.

After the clothes were made, the prefect was very satisfied and praised her craftsmanship. He personally praised her as "the best cutter in Lanling".

Liu Guixiang became famous because of this, and the title of Lanling's No. 1 cutter also spread like wildfire.

People in Qinghe County are proud to wear clothes sewn by her.

There were even many people from other prefectures and cities who traveled thousands of miles to come here to ask for her help in making a piece of clothing.

It's a pity that after she trained Jiangxia's third brother's wife and put her in charge of managing the tailor shop, she once again retreated behind the scenes.

He spends all day at home entertaining his grandchildren, taking care of his old age, and taking care of Jiang Xia's daily life. He rarely does anything anymore.
