Chapter 137 The Trivia of the Seventh Prince's House
"Well, Xiao Zhouzhou, why are you playing here alone? Where is mom?"
Lin Xiao picked up Xiao Zhouzhou.
"Mom is working in the next room! Let's not disturb her."
Xiao Zhouzhou pointed to a wooden door next to him and said in a low voice.
"Oh, are Zhouzhou hungry? Can Xiao Linzi take you to have a meal?"
Lin Xiao asked softly.
"Okay, okay! I haven't eaten all day, and I'm almost starving!"
Xiao Zhouzhou nodded vigorously.
"Then Xiao Zhouzhou, stay here obediently and don't run around. Xiao Linzi can go buy some delicious food and come back, okay?"
"good."
Xiao Zhouzhou replied obediently.
Lin Xiao patted Xiao Zhouzhou's head, then turned around and ran downstairs...
After a while, she bought a lot of steamed buns and returned to Loves in a hurry.
She had no idea that at this moment, a pair of sinister eyes were staring at her in the alley.
Xiao Zhouzhou took the bun, sat aside and wolfed it down.
Lin Xiao pushed away Zhang Yue's studio.
Inside, Zhang Yue was sewing clothes according to the design drawings. Her red eyes showed determination, and she seemed to be completely devoted to her work.
Seeing Lin Xiao, Zhang Yue was slightly surprised, then showed a relieved smile and asked: "Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, you might die suddenly!"
Lin Xiao quickly replaced the needle and thread in Zhang Yue's hands with steamed buns:
"eat first!"
"There's nothing I can do! Who knew business could be so crazy?"
When Zhang Yue saw the steaming buns, her eyes lit up and she immediately started devouring them.
"Can't you find some tailors to help you?"
"You don't understand, I'm afraid they will take my design for themselves."
Zhang Yue's worries are not groundless.
In modern times, no matter what kind of designers they are, they all have to face the risk of being plagiarized or misappropriated.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, although tailors would not do anything that would harm the interests of others, who could guarantee that they would not spread their designs?
These design drafts are all the hard work of Zhang Yue who forgets to eat and sleep!
"Can you split the design into several parts, find more tailors to make them separately, and then arm them?"
Lin Xiao remembered that this was how the previous repeating crossbow was operated.
Zhang Yue shook her head bitterly after hearing this:
"If it is some precision instrument, this operation can prevent the design drawing from being leaked to the greatest extent, but this is clothes, and an experienced tailor can tell which part it is at a glance.
So this method doesn’t work, but instead there is no 300 taels of silver here.”
Zhang Yue's words made Lin Xiao fall into deep thought.
Suddenly, she remembered the luxurious life of those domineering CEOs in the TV series, and her eyes lit up:
"Sister Xiaoyue, I have an idea!"
"What?"
"Since Loveskin is a royal item, it cannot be bought casually. We have to use tailor-made clothes, dedicated people to dress them, and appointment system."
"You mean?"
Zhang Yue seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes, it's just as you think. Our clothes have to be designed by appointment and are not available in stock. Of course, if someone is willing to pay a high price, then the display items cannot be sold."
Having said this, a sly smile appeared on Lin Xiao's face.
This method not only solves the risk of the design drawings being stolen, but also greatly increases the reputation of Ai Lv Shi, who will then become a true luxury product of the Xia Dynasty!
"Xiaoxiao, you are really bad, but I like it, hahaha!"
"Hahaha……"
The hearty laughter of the two people echoed in the empty Hermes clothing store.
Loves has ushered in its new era!
…
It was late at night, and Lin Xiao was working hard with the workers in another courtyard to filter the bitter salt.
Li Yujun's influence is quite good. After his introduction, there was an endless stream of dignitaries who came to Lin Xiao to filter salt, and they were all prominent and powerful figures.
Of course, they would not come in person, but would send servants or maids over.
Among them was an eldest maid from the Seventh Prince's house, known as Lady Han, who was the cousin of Mrs. Han of the Han family restaurant.
Other servants or maids would bring the salt, weigh it, and then go back to listen to the news.
But this Lady Han was different. She especially loved to drag Lin Xiaodong's parents to the West's.
After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar with each other.
"Master Lin, it's so late, why don't you go and rest?"
Lady Han was sitting on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, with her legs crossed and a teapot in her hand, gently stirring the hot water.
That leisurely and contented look is very much like the mistress of this courtyard.
"I'm going to rest after I'm done, but you, can't you go back so late?"
"Hey, how can they have the time to care about whether I can go back or not?"
Madam Han put down the teapot and looked at Lin Xiao with a smile:
"Come here, sister, I want to tell you something!"
"What's going on? I'm busy here!"
Lin Xiao was a little reluctant.
"In your words, there is a big melon to eat!"
Madam Han waved to Lin Xiao mysteriously.
Got a big melon to eat?
Lin Xiao, dominated by curiosity, had no choice but to walk over.
"Do you know why they don't have time to take care of me?"
"How do I know this?"
Lin Xiao curled her lips, she had no habit of peeking into other people's privacy.
"Oh, I thought we had Mr. Lin who knows everything!"
Madam Han covered her mouth and kept laughing.
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes angrily:
"I won't listen to you if you keep trying to make excuses!"
After that, Lin Xiao pretended to leave, and Madam Han quickly stood up and grabbed Lin Xiao's arm:
"I said, I said it's not okay!"
Lady Han: "A few days ago, our seventh prince brought back a pretty girl from Jiuzhou Town. Now there is a commotion in the mansion!"
Jiuzhou Town?
Lin Xiao frowned, feeling vaguely bad in his heart:
"What does that girl look like?"
"My eyes are big and bright, my skin is fair, and I'm pretty."
Could it be... Han Ruoshui?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly:
"Why is the house so restless?"
"The Seventh Prince wants to take that girl as his concubine, will our concubine agree? So there was a fuss. The Seventh Prince's mother and concubine were also very angry, saying that the girl was too beautiful to be a concubine!"
"and after?"
"What happened next was even more funny..."
The Seventh Prince Li Yuxuan was a master who only loved beauties but not the country. Therefore, after Li Yuquan inherited the throne, he and his mother and concubine were not involved in any way, and they were also placed in a relatively luxurious prince's palace in the capital.
An idle prince.
He really felt pain for the girl he brought back from Jiuzhou Town to his bones.
Regardless of the obstruction of his mother and concubine, he vowed to take the girl as his concubine.
However, when the government office was applying for the marriage certificate for them, they discovered that the girl was actually engaged!
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's heart suddenly rose to her throat and her heart beat continuously.
No wonder, during this period of time, I always felt that a pair of cold eyes were paying attention to me. It turned out that the girl brought back by the Seventh Prince from Jiuzhou Town was really Han Ruoshui!
