Shen Yanqing's promotion had long been expected by him and Jiang Miao, so compared to the happiness of the Shen family, Jiang Miao felt more of a sense of urgency in her heart.
Their business was in Zhenjiang Prefecture, but when they arrived in the capital they were novices with no foundation, and their top priority was to make money quickly.
Although the news came down that Shen Yanqing had taken over as the doctor of the household department, the emperor gave them ten days to rest and recuperate. After all, there were so many things to pack and they had to buy a house in the capital, so it would take some time.
Even if Zhao Jing wants to see Jiang Miao as soon as possible, he has no way to recall him to Beijing immediately. He can only focus on cleaning up Prime Minister Liu's faction. Song Cang's dismissal is a breakthrough, and the group of silverfish in the Ministry of Household Affairs should also be eradicated.
…
In addition to packing her things recently, Jiang Miao asked the embroiderers to rush to make dolls and down jackets.
Winter was coming soon, and she arrived in Beijing just in time to catch up with the sales. She designed all the patterns for the down jackets, which were both ancient and modern. With the skills of ancient embroiderers, even Jiang Miao was able to make the clothes. Can't put it down.
She wanted to keep one piece of each item so that she could wear different clothes throughout the winter, but she just thought about it. Each piece of clothing was priced at hundreds of taels, and she was not willing to part with it.
Li Biao and others collected a total of thousands of kilograms of duck down. In addition to making down jackets, there are also duvets and pillows. Now they are all cleaned up and shipped to the capital for the embroiderers to make. Before the clothes are made, Jiang Miao's dolls are made first. Batch.
Yuhualou releases new items every ten days. The most noteworthy items each time there are new items are not only the clothes, but also the gifts given by members. Now Yuhualou’s reputation relies on its novel and exquisitely designed clothes and glass mirrors. There are many small The ladies are waiting for the door to open.
On the new day at Yuhua Upstairs, the entrance was crowded with carriages of noble ladies from aristocratic families.
Although they said they were not interested in it, in fact they had been coveting the glass mirror for a long time and were looking forward to saving enough points to exchange it for a full-length mirror to take home.
Thinking about seeing her beautiful appearance every morning, her mood will get better throughout the day. Even Jiang Ru is no exception.
Zhao Mingzhen stole the show at the flower viewing banquet that day because she wore Yuhualou clothes, which made her already slightly plump figure look plump and bright, and even overshadowed Liu Ruyan.
This makes Jiang Ru, whose beauty is just Xiaojiabiyu, not to be tempted. If she wears the clothes customized by Yuhualou, her appearance will be improved by several percent, and she will be more sure to win the emperor's heart.
Jiang Ru thought so well that she led Sangnu to queue up at the entrance of Yuhua Building early in the morning. This time she not only wanted to buy for herself, but also for Sangnu. The eldest princess must have recognized Sangnu's identity by now. , she took her into the house, the eldest princess should not turn people away anymore.
"Shopkeeper, the new clothes I ordered before are ready... Hey, what is this?"
As soon as the door of Yuhua Building opened, the young ladies outside all squeezed in. Before they had time to look at the clothes, their eyes were attracted by the dolls placed in the shop. These silly and furry little things were really funny, and they were so funny that they had never seen them before. The little ladies who have passed by are so adorable.
Jiang Ru followed everyone's eyes and saw several fluffy pink rabbits. She curled her lips, not interested in these things at all.
Jiang Ru's goal was clear. She came here to buy clothes. While everyone was distracted, she went straight to the clothes area. However, Sannu behind her couldn't help but glance at the dolls.
No wonder little ladies like such cute little things. If she was as well-off as these ladies, she would be willing to buy a few and play with them.
However, her identity did not allow her to have such thoughts. Even being able to enter the Yuhua Building today was because of Jiang Ru. Sannu felt depressed and followed Jiang Ru with her head lowered.
She got rid of her previous identity and came to the capital hoping to become a noble. Now she is becoming more and more dissatisfied with her life as a slave. Thinking of the eldest princess who looked similar to her at the flower viewing party, Sannu's thoughts began to come alive.
"Go try on this dress."
Sannu was still immersed in his own thoughts, but was suddenly shocked by Jiang Ru's words.
"Lady?"
Sannu looked up at the new clothes in her hand, her eyes filled with disbelief that Jiang Ru actually bought clothes for her.
"What are you waiting for? If you are asked to change it, go and change it quickly."
She was still waiting to go to the eldest princess's mansion to pay her respects earlier. As expected of someone who came from that place, she was just a petty person, and no matter how many rules she was taught, she still couldn't make it onto the stage.
Jiang Ru's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm, and she impatiently stuffed the clothes into her arms and asked the shopkeeper to send someone to lead her to try on the clothes.
What Jiang Ru chose for her was a lotus green embroidered blouse and a pearl white lake crepe skirt. Sannu already had good looks when she entered the house. She had a slender waist and a slim figure. Paired with her appearance, I felt pity for her.
She is like a fresh lily.
Sannu's figure made the well-dressed Jiang Ru a joke. No matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't compare to her. Jiang Ru clenched her hands suddenly, and the jealousy in her heart almost overflowed.
But she still swallowed it alive when she thought about the subsequent plan. Forget it, since she was going to see the eldest princess, she naturally had to dress her up well.
Jiang Ru felt sour in her heart, and went straight out the door after paying the money. When Sannu got the new dress, she was so happy that she didn't notice her anger at all, and trotted to keep up with her.
The Jiang family's carriage stopped at the gate of the princess's mansion. The doorkeeper today was still the boy who had been bribed before. When he saw Jiang Ru getting out of the car and walking over, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. Why is this aunt here again!
"You go in and tell me that I want to see my mother."
"Madam, please don't embarrass me. The master has said that you won't be allowed to enter the house, so you should go back..."
The boy frowned and looked embarrassed. He had already been worried about taking Jiang Ru's bracelet before. If he let her in again, he would not be able to keep his job.
"Mother doesn't want to see me?"
Jiang Ru pursed her lips, her face elongated, and her originally pretty face was a bit mean. The young man shook his body and nodded bravely. The eldest princess had given her orders several times, and I don’t know what makes this lady so shameless.
It's so thick that if you have to rely on it, you won't be able to get rid of it even if you scold it.
"Well, I won't embarrass you. Since mother doesn't want to see me, you can always see my maid. I know my mother is weak and can't bear the cold, so I made a protective sleeve. If she doesn't want to see me, I won't go to mother either.
If it’s an eyesore in front of me, it’s okay to let the maid take it in, right?”
Although Jiang Ru wanted to please the eldest princess in person, she didn't expect to be able to enter the palace at once. Anyway, she had plenty of time now, so she would first let Sannu and the eldest princess get in touch several times to build a closer relationship. She was Sannu's master, and the eldest princess herself
It's impossible to get around her.
"This... little one needs to go in and ask."
Although the eldest princess said that Jiang Ru would not be allowed to enter the house, she did not say that her maid would not be allowed to enter. The young man could not make up his mind, so he bowed and went to the inner courtyard to inquire.
The eldest princess hosted a flower-viewing banquet a few days ago, and she caught the cold outside. She was in a very good mood just thinking that Jiang Miao would be coming to Beijing soon.
At this moment, she was sitting around on the bed listening to Nanny Qi chatting about interesting things about the capital. When she heard the boy's report, she frowned slightly.
Thinking of Jiang Ru's behavior, she sneered in her heart. She would deal with Jiang Ru sooner or later, but since she took the initiative to stick to him, she was teasing him.
