In a carriage, a pretty lady lifted the curtain, looked outside, and shouted to the car behind her.
"Zhai Siniang, is this here?"
Looking at the street again, she looked a little surprised.
"Is Tonglou Street originally so lively?"
Two gorgeous carriages were approaching, which was rare on Tonglou Street. People on the street saw them, some hurriedly avoided them, while others stared at them out of curiosity and did not know how to get out of the way. The coachmen shouted and drove them away angrily.
Why are there more people on Tonglou Street? There are also many unruly country people.
Miss Zhai Si, who was in the last car, lifted the curtain and looked out. She was also a little surprised: "It wasn't so lively when I came here last time."
Next to her sat Miss Jiang Jiasan, urging: "Don't worry about whether the street is lively or not, quickly find that embroiderer's shop."
The carriage in front has arrived and stopped. The ladies looked at the plaque and read: "Xucheng Linglongfang, this is it, right?"
"My cousin was holding a fan when he was making inquiries. When he met the Inspector General of Police who was handling the case, he was recognized. Either Governor Huo was specifically looking at the fan, or it was just a coincidence." Miss Jiang San comforted her.
It is not surprising that the embroidery shop on Jinlou Street is so busy, but this is Tonglou Street, and the people queuing up do not look like they are buying embroidery.
Qixing laughed and said, "Small business is also a business."
After that, he pulled Miss Jiang San over.
…..
…..
Although it looked like a shabby grocery store in front of the door, the back room was no worse than the shops they had visited before.
"This is the fabric that the customer wants to cut and embroider." Qixing said, "Her daughter is getting married and she wants to make a wedding dress."
She was indeed here to try her luck.
"Shopkeeper, hurry up and entertain them."
The ladies were a little disappointed, and Miss Jiang San looked at Miss Zhai Fourth with resentment again.
It wasn't like a gathering of idle people, but there was clearly a queue. Beyond these people, you could still see that there were quite a few people in the shop at this time.
She was really happy for Miss Qixing. Although the process was a bit unexpected, the result was as Miss Qixing wished. People saw her and the business came.
"She doesn't have any other business. She just concentrates on this one. Once the big sister wears it and amazes everyone, she will be able to get more business."
People like them make their own wedding dresses, dyeing them a few colors and simply embroidering them is enough.
He said and glanced at her.
That's why she couldn't help but interact with him. Otherwise, she would just give him money and show kindness according to her previous friendship.
The woman holding the cloth stepped back again.
Fortunately, at the request of Miss Zhai Si, the butterfly skirt requested by Miss Jiang San was arranged, but it was only one piece. If others wanted to do embroidery, they would have to wait.
Miss Zhai Si was surprised: "This kind of fabric is used for embroidery? Isn't it a waste of craftsmanship?"
It has been half a month since I lost my fan in the garden.
"Some are in stock, while others have to wait." Qixing said apologetically, "There are many customers in the store now, and the construction schedule is full."
Before the ladies could speak, other customers in the store had already spoken.
"What is this?" Miss Zhai Si was not that easy to deceive, pointing to a piece of red cloth held in a woman's hand.
Qixing looked at the girls who came in. There were many ladies and maids, and the store became even more crowded.
"I, I just asked, I'm leaving now." She stammered, holding the cloth in her arms to leave.
The three ladies who just got off the bus unconsciously covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs or fans. These people all smell.
At this moment, the young lady said this, and the woman was ashamed and uneasy.
Logically speaking, he is a craftsman and a lower class person, but he has an extraordinary bearing. When standing in front of her, he does not feel any contempt at all. Instead, he feels peaceful, wants to get close to her, and even feels a little in awe at times.
…
She saw that in the brochure Qing Pheasant brought, a small jewelry box was worth a lot of money.
"We're in no hurry."
How is this going?
"You still say it's not yours?" Miss Jiang San put the fan into her hand, "Dudu Huo, the Inspector General, said it's yours!"
Miss Zhai Si said happily: "That's great."
There were four or five people in the store at this time. When they saw this group of noble ladies wearing gold and silver, they felt ashamed and hurriedly got out of the way.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Miss Zhai Si's face.
"Okay, I won't say any more." Miss Zhai Si waved her fan. She had already taken the fan back from Miss Jiang San. She said she would not throw it away again. She looked at the plaque and the people waiting outside the door.
, and the ladies who are getting on the bus.
These people make their own clothes, shoes and socks, so they don't spend money on clothes and accessories. They only need to be warm and well-fed.
But since I heard that Xucheng Linglongfang can turn old stones into gold and turn them into new ones, I inquired about the price and couldn’t help but have the idea to give it a try. Maybe if I give in an ordinary piece of cloth, I can get a beautiful wedding dress.
Clothes.
Small business, Miss Zhai Si still remembers that she said she wanted to do a small business, but there was no business at the beginning. Now there is a better business, why not do it?
Miss Zhai Si said: "If you don't make a lot of money, I don't know what you are thinking!"
Miss Jiang San smiled at Qixing and said, "I have admired you for a long time." She shook the fan again and said, "This golden butterfly is really lifelike."
She stopped before she finished speaking, looking a little confused.
"What's going on here? Du Cha Si has eyes and ears all over the place, spying on me." Miss Jiang San whispered, "Everyone is staring at everything. Maybe Du Cha Si also knows what handkerchief I came out to get today."
Seeing the woman's embarrassment, Miss Zhai Si knew that her words were too abrupt. She was not the kind of arrogant lady who looked down on the poor and deliberately despised them. She just blurted out the truth and took advantage of Qixing's words and smiled: "Yes, I believe it.
” Then he said, “We are here today to ask you to make embroidered skirts.”
The ladies were looking through the selections and came in before they had even finished reading the seven stars. They immediately pointed to the jewelry box they wanted to see in the brochure.
She dropped the fan on purpose because she was worried that someone would find her using something given by Qixing.
Qing Pheasant brought a few more brochures, saying they were some jewelry boxes from Linglongfang. They were all small and wearable, and more exquisite than the common ones.
There were many people outside the door.
They can't make much money by doing their business. Only by doing the business of wealthy people can they make money. They don't want to delay Linglongfang's making money.
"I'm here."
"Guest." Qixing said with a smile.
Hearing this, the woman subconsciously hid behind her and said, "No, it's okay if it doesn't work. I'm just here to ask."
Miss Qixing's business...is unprecedentedly popular.
Qixing looked at her: "Big money and small money are all money. It cannot be divided into thick and thin. Only by loving each other and benefiting each other can the business last long."
"Zhai Siniang, is this really Xiuzhuang?" a young lady asked.
It is definitely more expensive than a woman weaving and dyeing cloth into clothes.
Du Cha Si! Huo Lian!
The cloth was obviously woven and dyed by herself. It was very fine, but only fine. None of the maids around her wore this cloth.
This is different from last time. Did you remember the wrong location?
There are men and women, most of them are middle-aged and elderly, and their clothes are not as good as the lowest servants in their families.
Miss Zhai Si almost fainted, why? What happened? It was just a fan, how could it have anything to do with Huo Lian?
Fortunately, Miss Jiang San didn't scare her anymore. Everyone knew how scary Huo Lian was, and could really scare people to death, so they hurriedly told what happened.
"We're almost there." Miss Zhai Si leaned out and looked out, pointing to the front, "It's in the corner over there, that deserted place..."
Miss Zhai Si looked at the people in line holding various utensils, some holding tattered boxes, some carrying tattered food boxes...
Oh my God, could it be that it couldn't open anymore and had closed the door? It changed owners and became a grocery store, right?
Miss Zhai Si was a few steps behind and scolded: "Are you stupid? Jewelry and clothes are the big money-making business."
Miss Zhai Si thought she understood but didn't understand. Is this talking about money or people?
Qixing hurriedly stopped and said nothing, but did not talk to the woman. Instead, he smiled at Miss Zhai Si and said, "You are looking down on me. I can't make anything with my craftsmanship. Not to mention coarse cloth, I can also make animal skins.
Do you believe it?"
"After delaying for so long, I'm afraid I won't have enough time to wear it for my sister's birthday."
So, Miss Zhai Si was uneasy, but she saw through it and couldn't hide it anymore. She told Qixing about the fan as a gift. Miss Jiang San was overjoyed and made an appointment with her to come to Linglongfang.
"Don't worry." Miss Zhai Si hurriedly said to Miss Jiang San, "I will tell Miss Qixing that I will not miss the eldest lady's birthday even if I stay awake day and night!"
"Miss Qixing, are you still there?" she shouted.
Qixing smiled and returned the courtesy, with a hint of apology: "Please wait a moment while I entertain the guests who came first."
"I want it for her sister's birthday."
In fact, from the beginning, I felt that this Miss Qixing was different from other embroiderers.
The Jiang family came and asked if she had lost her fan. She was shocked, but naturally she said she had not lost it.
Miss Zhai Si didn't bother to explain to the ladies and hurried in.
Miss Zhai Si, who was led back by the green pheasant, couldn't help but look back at the guests.
Yes, Miss Zhai Si also got out of the car, looked up at the plaque, and then looked at the people surrounding the door.
This seemed to comfort but not too much. Miss Zhai Si's face turned even paler. Does Inspector know what kind of fan she used?
There is a shop in the front corner, but it is not deserted.
Saying this, he smiled again.
impossible.
…
"Then what's going on?" Miss Zhai Si looked at the other people in the store and asked in confusion.
They know that the money they pay for what they make is not much at all, and they are simply taking advantage.
The ladies left with mixed emotions.
"Let's go out and wait."
Unexpectedly, there was an even greater shock later when Miss Jiang San came directly to the door.
Why is Du Cha Si staring at her?
Miss Jiang San nodded: "If it is done well, I will convince my mother to give her some of the embroidery business at home."
Can these people buy embroidery? The ladies couldn't help but look at these people. Their clothes were made of coarse cloth with almost no embroidery.
It's only been less than a month, and I'm still waiting in line to buy things.
"You do know how to do business." She said, raising her hand and saluting, "Seven shopkeepers are great."
Qixing smiled and raised his hand to salute: "Miss Zhai, please take care of your business."
Miss Zhai Si was amused. Speaking of taking care of...
"Actually, I'm not taking care of the business this time." She hesitated once, then lowered her voice to Qixing Fu'er, "It's Governor Huo from the Ducha Division."
