Chapter 209: Heaven Helps the Self-Helper
"It's nothing, I don't know you, I see you familiar, and you are from Sister Feng's yard. Because in front of everyone, Jia Lu didn't want to ask too much, so he sent her away.
Seeing that there was nothing lively and beautiful, everyone also dispersed one by one, only Qingwen was still on the side, Jia Lu took this opportunity to ask,
"Sister Qingwen, your embroidery work is so good, have you ever thought of earning some pocket money by embroidering?"
Qingwen shook her head and said, "Why bother with all this effort, the work in the garden is light, and there are many rewards, where do you need to suffer this and be tired!"
Jia Lu asked again, "Don't you think about the future?"
Qingwen looked at her curiously, and said, "The girl is really joking, we are all slaves and maids in the house, how will we live in the house in the future, everything is in charge of the master, today is happy and today is happy, why bother to trouble?"
Jia Lu calmed down his somewhat anxious mood and said, "So what do you learn in the garden?"
"What to learn? The more the girl said this, the more strange it became, we are slaves and maids are just to serve the master comfortably, what else do we need to learn?"
Jia Lu was silent for a while, looking at the carefree people playing in the yard, it's just that, God helps self-helpers, self-motivated people, if they don't have a chance, they will find opportunities to learn, and if they are not self-motivated, in the warm and comfortable environment of Daguan Garden, they will not think of struggling.
After talking for a while, he left Yihong Courtyard, and then Jia Lu went to other courtyards for a walk, and the people in each courtyard had their own temperament.
The second girl, because of the second girl's cowardly and generous temperament, the people in her yard are more flamboyant, the third girl is strict and the most important rules, and the people in her yard are also the most regular, the eldest sister-in-law is widowed and teaches her children, and the maids in her yard are also very worry-free.
Whether it is public, regular, worry-free, or noisy, attached to the big tree of the Jia family, no one thinks that maybe the big tree will also fall, and no one has ever thought about the future.
In this case, even if someone pulls her away, they may all dislike you and get in the way.
In this way, Jia Lu took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat.
Two days later, the people in the stable came to respond, saying that the horses were cured, and the girl could go out at any time.
Because the four o'clock squares on Zhuangyuan Street were mixed, it was not suitable for Jia Lu to go over, so a few people went to Fugui Embroidery Village. Fugui Embroidery Village is mostly the business of rich and noble people, so it is in the inner circle of Kyoto, not very far from Rongning Street, sitting in a carriage, but the time for a stick of incense has arrived.
"Girl, you can dismount. Outside, the groom shouted.
Jiao Qian and the others got off the horse first, and then helped Jia Lu down.
The shopkeeper of the rich embroidery room outside was already waiting outside, and when he saw Jia Lu coming down, he hurriedly came up to say goodbye, and said,
"The little old man greets the master and the girl, and welcomes the master and the girl. ”
The shopkeeper was a chubby middle-aged man, with thick earlobes and lips, which made him very honest and amiable, and a pair of shrewd eyes hidden in the slender eyelids.
"I don't know what the shopkeeper is called?" Jia Lu asked.
"The little old man's surname is Wang, the king of Sanheng, and the girl can call me the king's shopkeeper. ”
Jia Lu nodded and said, "Come and take a look today, I still need to be introduced by the good student of the shopkeeper Wang." ”
The shopkeeper Wang smiled flatteringly, "This is natural, please invite the girl to come in." ”
Jia Luluo stood up, looking at the gate was a little staggering, strange before Qian Mama said that idlers would not enter this embroidery village, look at this embroidery village, a three-storey building, the word "wealth" on the plaque is painted with gold paint, the gate is about a zhang high, and it looks more magnificent than the average big family.
Then he joked to the shopkeeper of the king, "You embroidery village is so magnificent, and you are not afraid of attracting thieves?"
The shopkeeper Wang smiled, "The girl is really joking, as the saying goes, respect Luo Yi first and then respect people, this is the case for people, and it is the same for our shop, we are doing the business of the powerful and wealthy, only if the store is repaired to a grand style, will it attract real customers to come, you see, there has been Bai Ding in our store?"
Jia Lu looked at it while entering, there were not many people in and out of the store, but it was not simple to look at the clothes.
Shopkeeper Wang then introduced, "Most of the people who come to our store are housekeepers and grandmothers, just to buy new styles of clothes, in addition, some grandmothers and girls will occasionally come to our place to shop, but they will not stay in the hall, most of them go to the upstairs wings." ”
The shopkeeper pointed upstairs, the design of the embroidery building is unique, the first floor is the display area, the second floor is only half of the room is made of the wings, the rest is generally empty, it seems that the exhibition hall on the first floor is extremely spacious and atmospheric, and only the third floor is all the first floor.
The walls of the exhibition hall on this floor are covered with ready-to-wear clothes, but the tables are all fabrics.
"Our shop sells fabrics, and there are ready-to-wear stores, but more are customized, and the general grandmothers and wives are here, and then they will talk to the second or third floor wings, and what kind of style they want to customize will be said face-to-face with the embroidery girl, and you can place an order. ”
"Don't we offer styles?"
The shopkeeper Wang was a little confused, "The clothes are all freshly made by the embroidery girl, how to provide the style, the girl is not talking about the ready-to-wear hanging here?"
Jia Lu shook his head, "Have you ever seen the recipes in a restaurant?"
"What's the recipe?" asked the shopkeeper Wang.
Jia Lu was surprised, "There is no recipe, so how can I order food when I enter a restaurant to eat?"
The shopkeeper said secretly, this girl from the main family really doesn't know the fireworks in the world, so she can't be fooled, thinking like this in her heart, but she didn't delay replying, and said,
"The girl doesn't know, we go to the restaurant on weekdays, and the restaurant will naturally make the names of the various dishes in the store into wooden signs and hang them on the wall, but there are not many people who read after all, so I usually ask a young man who can speak well to memorize the dishes that can be made in the store, and then report them to the guests. ”
Jia Lu thought about it, this booklet may or may not be an innovation, said,
"Shopkeeper Wang, you may ask a painter to draw down the styles of the clothes and make a booklet, and every quarter you can introduce new styles, so that when the guests come, it is not convenient and simple to show them the booklet. ”
When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, his eyes lit up, "It's really a good idea, the girl is really talented and intelligent, and she is very comparable." ”
Jia Lu's ears turned red when she heard a fart, and said, "Don't say that, I don't know where the embroidery girl is, take me to take a look!"
"Yes, yes, the girl is please, the embroidery girl is in the backyard. With that, he led Jia Lu into the backyard.
The backyard is the style of the two-entry quadrangle, looking at the same as other houses, only to feel that there is a good thing inside the house, a whole wall is hollowed out, the lighting is excellent, the king shopkeeper explained,
"The most important thing for embroidery girls is the eyes, this requirement is high, neither can look directly at the sun, but also can not be too dark, so I invited the masters to make this whole hollow curtain wall, every room is like this. ”
