Chapter Seventy-Six: Dressmaking (Addition 1)
But Hu Yi told Liu Xuan that the Holy Dragon Body owed Prince An had already entered the palace to serve him, but he was afraid that he would not be able to come out in three or five days. Seeing that Liu Xuan was worried, Hu Yi said again: "There is no big problem with the saint, but it is actually a recurrence of the old disease in winter, so the girl doesn't have to worry." ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Xuan put her mind at ease, and after Hu Yi retreated, she remembered what Xiao Gong said today, Liu Zhiqing's father, Mrs. Liu, was going to accept her as a righteous daughter, and couldn't help but secretly think that she should buy some clothes, not only her, but also the clothes of the maids and servants in this mansion.
She asked Qiu Ju and Dong Mei: "What are the better clothes shops in the capital?" ”
Dongmei asked, "Miss, do you want to make some clothes?" ”
Liu Xuan nodded, and told Qiu Ju and Dongmei of his thoughts: "The sky is gradually about to enter winter, although there are not many people in Fuzhong, but winter clothes must be prepared quickly, the capital is not as good as Shudi, I see that there is already a cold wind before winter, I am afraid that this winter is very cold, and the coal in Fuzhong should also be prepared earlier." ”
Qiu Ju said with a smile: "These things are our sisters' business, how dare Miss Lao worry about mentioning them, but she has been a little busy in the past two days, and the matter of buying clothes has been postponed." ”
"I know you're busy." Liu Xuan looked at Qiu Ju and Dongmei and quipped: "That's why I'm an idler who picks up some small things to do." ”
"If the girl wants to make clothes, it is better to cheapen her own shop." Hearing Liu Xuan's joke, Dongmei was not to be outdone: "As the saying goes, fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields, and it is better for Miss to make clothes cheaper for her own family, but the slave knows that there are clothes shops in His Highness's industry." ”
Qiu Ju on the side also made fun: "That's it, Your Highness is going to hand over all the properties to Miss, Miss might as well let His Highness make another sum of money before taking over." ”
Liu Xuan He has been teased like this in person. At that moment, her face flushed slightly, and she coughed lightly as if unintentionally: "Cough." I am me, he is him, what is called his own family. ”
Hearing her say that Qiuju and Dongmei smiled even more happily. Liu Xuan didn't know how to add cheekily: "But since you are an acquaintance, you must do things better." ”
Before she could speak, Qiu Ju smiled on the side and said, "It's not familiar." ”
Qiu Ju's familiar flip-flop elder, the yin and yang weird appearance Dongmei couldn't help laughing, Liu Xuan was suddenly annoyed and stretched out his hand to tickle the two, and said while scratching: "Let you laugh, wait for the two of you to see how I laugh at you one day." ”
The three of them were fighting, and the relationship was unconsciously much closer.
In winter, there is no need to bathe every day, Liu Xuan washed up and went to bed, and in the past two days, Qiu Ju and Dong Mei found that she had a bad habit. is always to lie in bed and read a book before going to bed every night, Qiu Ju and Dongmei tried to persuade Liu Xuan as early as yesterday, but Liu Xuan is a typical yang and yin violation, and she promised to be good, but she didn't see any action, and still lay on the bed and watched.
Today, Liu Xuan just lay down and spread out the book, only to see a gust of wind passing through the book and it reached Dongmei's hand, Dongmei waved the book in her hand and said to Liu Xuan: "Do you remember the words of the slave maid and Qiu Ju yesterday evening?" ”
Liu Xuan blinked her eyes with an innocent look: "I'll just look at it for a while, and I'll be fine for a while." ”
Dongmei was not fooled: "I remember that Miss said the same thing yesterday." As a result, when I looked at the child, I hurt my eyes by looking at the book, not to mention that the young lady was still lying down and watching, and I wouldn't let the young lady take another look at anything today. ”
Seeing that Dongmei was about to walk out with a book. Liu Xuan begged: "Okay Dongmei, just let me take a look, don't read a book before going to bed." I can't sleep. ”
Dongmei didn't reply: "Miss, it's better to get rid of this bad habit earlier." ”
Qiu Ju looked at Liu Xuan with a heartbroken look and looked a little unbearable, and when she closed the door, she said to Liu Xuan: "If the girl robbed the winter plum." This book will be read. She squeaked the door shut.
Liu Xuan wailed in pain outside the door: "You just rely on martial arts to bully me like this." ”
What answered her was the unceremonious laughter of Qiu Ju and Dong Mei outside the door.
Liu Xuan sighed, secretly thinking that she would secretly buy some books to hide when she went out tomorrow.
When she went out on the second day, Liu Xuan paid attention all the way in the carriage. But she didn't see a bookstore all the way, Qiu Ju and Dongmei saw her disappointment in their eyes, and the two of them didn't open their mouths, but the insightful eyes made Liu Xuan a little nowhere to hide.
Today they went out to buy clothes, and the place they were going to was the clothing shop, one of the prince's industries.
Originally, Dongmei and Qiu Ju meant to directly call someone to make a discretion to purchase it, but Liu Xuan insisted on going to see it in person, and her reason was very sufficient: "Only after seeing it with your own eyes can you know the situation of those shops, if you call them to Xiao Gong, you must know that the person who arranged it must be a safe one, so how do I know what the situation of these shops is, and I want to take over it, and I have a good idea of it." ”
The carriage stopped in front of a shop in an alley, and Liu Xuan got out of the carriage with a veil and Qiu Ju's support. She got out of the carriage and did not go directly to the shop, but carefully surveyed the street in front of the shop.
The streets were full of clothes shops and cloth shops, Liu Xuan observed and found that a few steps in front of her shop had the best business, and she had been standing for a while, and there were already several people in and out.
Liu Xuan asked Qiu Ju on the side, "Who owns that shop?" ”
Qiu Ju took a look and said, "It's the shop of the Xue Jun Wang's family." ”
Liu Xuan nodded and said no more and raised her feet into the shop, as soon as she entered the shop, someone greeted her, and it was a guy who looked quite clever, and the guy saw Liu Xuan and the others and arrived: "This young lady wants to make some clothes for the house?" ”
Liu Xuan didn't understand why this guy knew at a glance that he was going to make clothes for the house, but she still nodded and said: "Exactly, it's almost winter, and the clothes of the maids and servants in the house should also be prepared, and by the way, I will also watch and make some." ”
The guy seemed a little surprised to hear Liu Xuan say that he wanted to make clothes for himself, and he couldn't help but ask again: "How many clothes does Miss want to buy for herself?" ”
Liu Xuan took his surprise in his eyes and nodded: "That's what you mean, why don't you guys take it?" ”
The guy came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I took it, but I haven't had a female dependent here to make clothes for a long time." After the guy finished speaking, he saw Liu Xuan's confusion and said with a smile: "Miss just entered Beijing not long ago, right?" ”
Liu Xuan nodded.
"No wonder Miss doesn't know." The guy suddenly realized: "Miss just entered Beijing may not know, all the women in this capital who have heads and faces are in the front of the embroidery workshop to make clothes, the embroidery workshop is the princess of Xue County, the princess of Xue County's dresses are made of the embroidery workshop, the elegant and noble dresses of the princess of Xue County are not very beautiful, is the capital of the female family to imitate. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xuan still didn't understand something, she nodded her head to show understanding, and then looked at the guy and said, "What about your shop?" The lady's business is gone, what is the main business of your shop? ”
The guy didn't care: "The girl doesn't know, although the clothes are made by the women, but the maids and servants in each house do a lot, although a single piece is cheaper but better than the quantity, which house does not have dozens or hundreds of maids and servants, our shop is the main business, even the clothes of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are also made by us." ”
Liu Xuan nodded secretly, Xiao Gong really shrewd the business of the maid's family was gone, so he took over the business of the servants of each house, and she said to the guy: "Today I came to take a look, tomorrow you send someone to my house to measure the maids and servants, there are not many maids and servants in my house, I hope you can be a little faster." ”
The guy asked Liu Xuan's address on the house and nodded, Liu Xuan asked the guy if he wanted to pay some money, and the guy smiled and said: "Miss don't have to be polite, whoever has a mansion in the capital, how can we be missing this bit of silver, and when Miss comes to measure tomorrow, Miss will give some at will." ”
Liu Xuan nodded in response: "My clothes are not made here, since you said that I will go to the embroidery workshop to take a look." ”
The guy smiled and sent Liu Xuan and the others out of the shop, pointed to the embroidery workshop three or four steps away, and said, "Miss, go and take a look, the embroidery workshop has some skills for making women's clothes." ”
Liu Xuan had a good impression of this guy, this person did not brag indiscriminately because he wanted to solicit business for himself, but gave her the best advice very seriously, she quit the guy, and took Qiu Ju and Dong Mei towards the embroidery workshop.
When she walked over, it happened that a group of men had sent someone out, and when she saw Liu Xuan, she greeted her with a smile: "Miss, but you want to make some clothes?" ”
Liu Xuan nodded yes, and the guy greeted her to the shop with a smile, and said while leading the way: "Coincidentally, a new pattern has just come to the shop, which was drawn by our lady herself, so the girl might as well take a look." ”
Liu Xuan nodded indispensably, and looked at the shop, this embroidery workshop is obviously much more lively, there are many female dependents accompanied by the maid to choose the tricks, a shop is the most attractive to Liu Xuan is the row of tables, those female dependents are sitting at this table and take a closer look, it seems that this embroidery workshop has been overcrowded for a long time, otherwise there will be so many tables and chairs.
Liu Xuan entered the shop and did not attract any attention, it can be seen that everyone has long been accustomed to the people coming and going in this embroidery workshop, and the guy who led Liu Xuan into the shop led Liu Xuan to a table and sat down, and he reflexively went to the inner hall to take some tricks out, and then handed it to Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan flipped through them one by one, and the guy explained them one by one on the side, these tricks are very good-looking, not cumbersome but just right to show the woman's figure and luxury, Liu Xuan looked at and listened to them one by one, and nodded secretly in her heart, she can take over the business of the female dependents in the capital, and she really has some ability.
In fact, Liu Xuan also started as a clothing shop, she relied on Jinxiufang when she started in Yizhou, and in a year she made Jinxiufang the largest clothing shop in Yizhou, and it was precisely because of this that Liu Zhiqing came to make clothes, and then she and Liu Zhiqing's intersection.
Now looking at these tricks, Liu Xuan admires it in her heart, even if she does it herself, it will be better than these, she flipped through it at random, picked out a few of her favorite ones and handed them to the guy on the side: "Let's do a few things according to this."
