The lace processed for James was completed two days in advance, and after strict inspection, none of the flowers were unqualified, and after acceptance, they were packed and sealed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info James paid the other part of the payment and pulled the goods away, and the business ended successfully. But the next day James came again, and he had to process lace, and he found a three-dimensional crochet flower in Chen Ruiqian's Jade Dragon Cloth Village. His steps were like race walking, and he didn't even hire a carriage, so he hurried to the palace. said to Bing'er: "Boss Zhao, you are not interesting enough!" There is three-dimensional lace in the house, why don't you tell me? ”

Bing'er learned from James's usual shrug and said, "My esteemed Mr. James." You also know the word three-dimensional lace, I just heard you say it. We haven't been in the house all these years, and a lot of the business in the house is not known at all. ”

"Is that so? That's I'm sorry too, apologize to you. But I want to order 20,000 three-dimensional flowers, and the lace must also be 20,000 feet. ”

"Your order is very large, and we want to give you a certain discount."

"Thank you! Thank you for the offer! ”

Bing'er said: "You should say, it's discounted too!" ”

The one who laughed the loudest was James, who not only lost his breath, but also corrected Bing'er intermittently: "Excuse me, is this Chinese grammar?" Gree-sama、Speak the language of the old and the tiger, right? ”

On the morning of the third day, the eunuch Xu Gonggong from the gatehouse personally came to spread the word that two ladies who claimed to be from India wanted to see the Snow Princess. It seems that they don't know the title of Snow Princess, and they still call her Snow Maiden.

Xue'er was talking in E-Niang's room, and before Father-in-law Xu finished speaking, she ran out, and saw a long-lost bicycle on the porch at the door, which was when she was at home, scrambling to learn, and fell and broke her knees, and E-Niang was so distressed that she shed tears. This kung fu also forgot to wrestle, grabbed the bicycle and ran, and rode it at the mouth of the alley. Seeing that Gege is gone!

The porter also knew how to treat international friends well, and invited the two Indian ladies to the porter to rest and served refreshments.

"Wow! Ashmita, Lady Kieran! You're so well informed. I'm still testing whether Mrs. Kieran, an old Beijinger born in China, can find me, but it just so happened that I came. Fast in. ”

"Miss Cher, let's find out if it's you. Dressed so noblely, he must be a noble person in the house! You still treat us as outsiders, and you live in such a generous palace! ”

"What about noble status, aren't you all the same noble? Your saris are so beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful! ”

"What's this wheeled thing you're pushing in your hand?" Where have they seen bicycles? It's a novelty.

"It's called a bicycle, and you can ride it if you're in a hurry."

"Oh, it's something to ride, how to ride, can you ride it for us to see?"

"You can perform live, but your acting skills are too poor and you may fall." Xue'er staggered up and rode in the direction of Yiran Tower, and after a while, she turned back again: "I can't leave the two guests behind, right?" Otherwise, you might get lost. ”

"Hello, dear lady. We are Ashmita and Kieran from India, friends of Miss Cher. "Two Indian ladies politely saluted Fu Jin, both of whom were devout disciples of the Buddha. Fu Jin hurriedly returned the salute, and there was a string of agate Buddha beads on her wrist.

"You are also a disciple of the Buddha?" Kieran and Ashmita asked in surprise.

"Yes, me too. The same is true of my lord, and so is our daughter Xuegege. ”

"What? Snow Maiden is the daughter of the prince? Are you her mother? You are so dignified and beautiful, so noble and elegant, no wonder the Snow Maiden is so outstanding. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, please take a seat. This is my mother, and I have a mother who traveled 3,000 miles to find me and save me when I was in trouble...... Mother, you must meet her. Sister Caixia, you go find Xiao Eniang. ”

The two Indian ladies were both high-ranking people, so they naturally understood the meaning of the other mother.

"Caixia, rainbow, hurry up and serve refreshments and cold drinks to the two distinguished guests." Fu Jin commanded.

The two sisters, Caixia and Rainbow, who have become relatives, were transferred to serve by Fujin's side, and they were naturally very affectionate when they saw Xue'er.

"You can taste the dim sum and cold drinks in our house, which my little lady learned from far away." Yun'er has become Xue'er's pride, and she has to mention her little mother in many things.

"Chen Fujin has arrived!" The shrill voice of the eunuch Fuzi resounded downstairs. Yun'er came to the Fujin room in the eyes of everyone.

"Oh? Got guests? ”

"Little Eniang, these two are Indian friends that Xue'er met in Yunnan, this is Mrs. Ashmita, and this is Mrs. Kieran."

"Hello ma'am." The two Indian friends saluted Yun'er, their eyes couldn't help but turn on her, and they couldn't help but say, "Say that this lady is so young and beautiful!" ”

Yun'er hurriedly replied: "Thank you for the compliments of the two ladies, since you are friends with Xue'er, don't be restrained." It is rare for the two ladies to come to the house as guests, and if they need or help, they can speak. ”

"Yes, yes, we are about to ask for the help of the two ladies. When we were in Yunnan, we saw the lace of the Snow Maiden, and we wanted to order it in large quantities, but we didn't know ......."

"You talk to Cher about this, and she is in charge. As for the material, if the quantity you want to order allows, I fully support it. You can talk about Xue'er, the two ladies are your friends, and your eldest lady and I are not good at interfering. ”

Fu Jin also said: "That's the case, you ask the two ladies what they need, and show them the sample when necessary, we still avoid it." As he spoke, he greeted Ashmita and Kiran very politely, and went to the East Warm Pavilion with each other.

Fortunately, there are many people who serve Fujin, so I found a maid girl at random and told her to go to my aunt or Mrs. Nalan to take a small sample of fabric, and the eyes of the two Indian ladies were dazzled, where had they ever seen such a beautiful thing? It's not that the hands of the Qing Dynasty and Indian women are unlucky, it's that they don't have these decorative materials at all, and after seeing them, in addition to lace products, they also ordered a lot of sachets, handbags, pendants and other cloth products.

"Snow Maiden, we like the lace on your tent very much, that is, the lace of the cloth, but the tent we hang there is different from yours......

"I see, you mean just lace? Yes, you can just look at the sample, and you can talk about the price if you like it. ”

"Snow Maiden, you're too happy, aren't you? He doesn't look like a businessman at all. ”

"We're all friends, and we've done business with each other, so why bother going around? You want to make money in business, but you don't need to count it to your bones, it's tiring to be too calculating. ”

"It's rare for you to have such a heart, when we talk about business with others, it's like a confrontation between a fox and a wolf."

The three of them laughed.

The next thing is for the mothers and girls from the two houses to make lace and cloth art. The two palaces together had eight hundred maids, and it was not very stressful to complete the crochet lace and cloth products. Tian Liang has assigned these people to various workshops, such as cloth workshops, weaving workshops, bead workshops, flower workshops, jewelry workshops, embroidery workshops, etc., which are easy to manage by dividing them into categories. Each workshop has a specific responsible grandmother in management, and there are specific rules and regulations.

The palace maids who came to Xuanwangfu from the palace have completely integrated into the sisters of Ruiwangfu, but they don't eat and live with the sisters of Ruiwangfu. There is no palace fight or house fight here, and some small frictions are resolved when the contradiction is very small.

The maids of the two mansions went into battle together, removing the older palace maids who had left the house and the girls who married out of the house, and now there are 800 palace maids participating in the processing of fabrics, beads, weaving, etc., each person makes five pieces, then there are 4,000 pieces, and the order is 10,000, and it will come out in two or three days, plus the time for inspection, ten days is enough. And many of them can be used with sewing machines, so the speed is exponentially faster.

The two Indian ladies wondered why the people in the Snow Maiden's house worked so fast? Not only fast, but also very good, the pins are generally large, and none of the products are unqualified.

When they knew that Xue'er was the princess of the previous Qing Emperor, the two ladies were stupid, for fear that they would say something inappropriate, and they would be a little restrained when they saw Xue'er.

Cher smiled and told them, "You don't have to take my title seriously or anything. We are friends first and business partners second. If you continue to be restrained, we will not be able to cooperate. ”

Thinking that this was also the case, the two Indian ladies were relieved. At that time, there was a shortage of yarn in India, and there were saris made of yarn, but women who were members of the royal family were so lucky. The weather in India is very hot, and silk is certainly not as refreshing as yarn to wear, although silk is already very good. Cher and Yun'er begged to make two saris for the two Indian ladies from exotic yarns, decorated with the prettiest lace. After trying it on herself, Yun'er felt that Xue'er was more beautiful than the two Indian ladies in an Indian sari, and it was another style, so she asked her to wear a sari and invite the two Indian ladies to the banquet.

The two Indian ladies, when they saw Cher in a sari dress, forgot all the etiquette, and screamed and pounced, with envy on their faces and little stars in their eyes.

"Wow, Kiran, we're seeing a fairy! Where have you ever seen such a beautiful sari? What is this made of? Yarn? Or what? ”

"Of course the sari is the saree, do you like this style of saree?"

"Like, like! If we wear it, it's worth it for the rest of our lives! ”

"Someone! Present the sari made for the two ladies! Cher said majestically.

The two maids brought two saris that were similar to Cher's, and handed the rose-colored ones to Ashmita, and the orange ones to Kiran. Xue'er knew that these two liked this color, so she asked the girl and the grandmother in the clothing workshop to make it respectively.

Ashmita and Kiran were so excited that they cried, and the princesses and queens of the Indian royal family did not have such beautiful saris. First of all, the clothing, both in terms of quality and color, is not available in the Qing Dynasty, and even more so in India! And then there are the ornaments that are attached to them, which are sparkling and gorgeous. After trying it on, the two of them couldn't take it off.

Cher laughed and teased them: "You two are too beautiful, aren't you?" Aren't you afraid of being snatched away by people? We have bad guys here too! ”

"Don't be afraid! We went out from the palace, and those hooligans didn't dare touch us! Can we order if it's convenient? Even if it's eight out of ten. Go back to the queen and princess, or we will die of hunger if we don't wear it, and the queen won't die of jealousy? So please be merciful. ”

"The biggest flaw of the two of you is that you speak too well and have too much sugar." Cher said with a smile.

"What's sugar?"

"It's how much sugar is put in the water, and the more sugar you have, the higher the sugar content."

The two of them immediately burst into laughter. By the east wind of joking, I ordered twenty sari dresses made of yarn. The two ladies took the initiative to give the price of twenty taels of silver for each sare, and Xue'er was not allowed to reduce it. Of course, this price was told by Mrs. Kieran, and I have never heard of such a high price that does not give people a little room for repentance.

Uncle Shi, Shi Qing, and Kumei's family of three returned to their hometown in Jinan after Kumei gave birth to a child in the house. In their hands, they already had enough silver to buy a set of two courtyards and ten acres of land, as well as silver that could last for three years without hard work. For Uncle Shi, this can't be done in a lifetime. Uncle Zhou's Wuqiao class also returned to Wuqiao's hometown, not only Shi Dan gave birth to a child, but other girls in the team who had already married also gave birth. Fujin left them to give birth in the mansion because there is now a big name like Ling Juan in the mansion, and the empress dowager also sent two stable women with many years of experience in childbirth. Because Ling Juan not only has the matter of giving birth, but also the matter of treating women, as well as the matter of taking care of baby Beibei and the matter of making herbal tea and cosmetics. There's too much to do. Although Yue'er and Lian'er also learned to give birth, they are inexperienced and too timid to let go. So the Wen Po sent by the Queen Mother accepted it, and she no longer had to worry about the eyeliner sent by the Queen Mother.

Uncle Zhou is almost seventy years old, and he has such a son at the age of forty, and when his son is older, he is old, and he wants to return to his roots. Shi Dan's child is still young, and he can't do without the outline, he has to take care of the old and the young, so he can't go out with Bing'er. Most of the actors in Wuqiao's acrobatic class have returned to Wuqiao, and only Xiaolian and Xiaohe, who play jiu-jitsu, still follow Bing'er and Xue'er and refuse to leave.

When they were taken into the palace, they were arranged in the outer courtyards, and the ladies among them also joined the army of lace weaving. plus the 800 girls and grandmothers in the two mansions, these people are the main force in making cloth in the house.

Soon a large number of hand-crocheted flowers ordered with Mr. James were completed. Soon he got on the ship of the Grand Canal in Tongzhou, then to Hangzhou Bay, and got on a big ship bound for the English Channel and the western France of Europe. Mr. James personally returned to China with the ship, and he wanted to tell the people of his hometown about the use of lace, and bring the beautiful, fancy and different uses of oriental lace to the girls and women of his hometown, so that the breath of youth would always float on their faces! If the sales go well, he will quickly return to the Qing Empire with a large number of foreign yarns and start the business of the second batch of orders. At the same time, Xue'er also brought a large number of handicrafts made by the girls and grandmothers in the house, such as sachets, ruyi knots, silk screen flowers, cross-stitch, etc., as well as glassware, resin crafts and Western-style tableware bought by the three of Amma in foreign lands. Mr. James, who had never seen such exquisite oriental handicrafts, was so happy that he thanked him again and again, and said vigorously: "Okay, too! Well, too! Of course, he bought Cher's handicrafts for a big price, and it was the price he insisted on giving.

Looking at the 100,000 taels of silver from Bai Huahua, Prince Rui couldn't believe that this was a business negotiated by his daughter and son-in-law with a big-nosed Westerner. Originally a delicate flower that grew up in a glass greenhouse, after being washed and washed by wind and rain, it became a strong tree, and Xue'er is no longer a little girl who is scared to cry when she sees the clothing model that Xiao Eniang bought from the "exotic", she is completely a mature woman and an adult!
