339. Knowing the endgame
"It's not difficult for the princess to get the chiffon dress before nightfall!" Gu Chichi looked sideways at the shopkeeper and the man: "Is there any chiffon semi-finished products of the same size as that princess's custom-made clothes in the shop?" ”
In order to weaken the daily activity, when the season is approaching, the workmen in the shop will cut a certain amount of fabric in advance according to the public posture and height, and make sleeves, placket and other semi-products.
"There are some and there are small ones, go get them immediately!" The guy said yes and quickly ran to the backyard, where the half-finished clothes were left there.
Lotus brought a cup of new tea, Xue Shixian took it, and tasted it peacefully, she is not a deformed person, someone came to the rescue, just see how she is capable, if she can save it, she can take the clothes and give them to Yu Wenzhen, if she can't save it, she will definitely smash this stinky shop that delays her work.
After half a cup of tea, the guy ran back from the backyard with a few half-finished products in his hands: "Eldest princess, the other sizes are similar, but there is a placket, which is bigger!" ”
Gu Chichi took the placket and looked at it, it was indeed bigger, but there was no suitable semi-finished product in the backyard, and the placket was now made, which must be insufficient......
Xue Shixian put down the teacup, walked to the high table where the half-finished products were placed, picked up the sleeves on his head, and searched his back one by one: "It's true that they are all chiffon, but the sleeves are sixteen stitches, and I want twenty-four stitches." ”
Sixteen and twenty-four stitches are the precision of the stitch, sixteen is a little looser than twenty-four, but the stitch is the first to sew the clothes when they are decided, if you want to change again, you have to disassemble the sleeves and sew them again, isn't this a deliberate embarrassment?
Xue Shi glared at Gu An: "Don't look at me, the main twenty-four stitches I want are the ones you didn't do as requested, and the fault lies in your shop!" ”
Gu Chichi picked up his sleeve and looked at it: "Sixteen stitches become twenty-four stitches, it's not very difficult, go to the backyard and get a pair of needles and threads!" ”
The backyard is the place where clothes are made, there are all kinds of needles and threads, Xiaoying brought a small bamboo basket, in which are placed various colored threads suitable for chiffon materials, took out a thread adjacent to the color of the material, threaded it to the needle skillfully, and handed it to Gu Chichi.
After taking the needle and thread, Gu Chichi picked up the sleeve, and stitched back and forth skillfully, after a cup of tea, sixteen stitches caused twenty-four stitches: "Is this princess still satisfied?" ”
Xue Shixian glanced at his sleeves lightly: "Twenty-four stitches of chiffon, of course I'm satisfied, but it's not a dress yet!" ”
Gu Chichi smiled lightly: "Soon it will be clothes!" "The slender hand picked up the collar and back, and sewed it quickly, so quickly that the world did not have time to see how she sewed it, and the collar and back were already together.
The placket is a little big, and if you sew it directly, it must be nondescript, not to mention that there is no beauty, and the whole dress cannot be worn.
Look at the enthusiastic people, some sit back and don't help, see what she does!
His eyes flashed, Gu Chi Chi pinched the big part of the placket into folds on the side, and when sewing it, every interval excavated a fold, and then, he chose Xiao Duo's dragon buckle and nailed it to the folds.
"Wow, what a miracle!" Some people can't help but sing the praises of changing the large placket to flower-shaped pleats, which is really psychologically wonderful.
"Yes, yes, this lady is really clever and has clever hands!"
Connected the sleeves, sewed the clothes belt, the clothes were satisfied, wiped the sweat from his forehead, Gu Chichi looked up at the incense in the furnace, and used a pillar of incense: "Princess, are you still satisfied with this dress?" ”
Xue Shixian picked up the clothes and looked at them carefully, the material was good, the stitches were fine, especially the folds under the dragon plate buckle, as if it was integrated with the buckle, looking at it from a distance, there was a unique charm.
Lotus came over secretly and whispered, "Princess, this dress must look good on my uncle!" ”
Xue smiled astringently, stuffed the clothes into the lotus hand, and took out a silver ticket: "This dress is really good, I am very porridge, this is the remaining silver......" She is not a greedy person, the clothes are satisfied, and they will not be stingy with silver.
Gu Chichi smiled lightly: "I got the wrong clothes and delayed the princess to meet her sweetheart, and the rest of the silver was paid uselessly, which can be regarded as the shop's apology to the princess!" ”
Xue Shixian is very modern, when ordering clothes, he has already paid a deposit of 70%, even if the rest of the silver is not wanted, the shop is also profitable, so that he can also have a good reputation if he makes a mistake, why not.
Gu Chichi's tone was sincere, and Xue Shixi no longer declined, put away the silver ticket, and glanced at Gu An: "For the sake of this princess's dignity, I won't smash your shop, you should thank God, you have such a good friend to help save ......"
"He's my brother!" Gu Chichi commented softly, pretending to be his brother.
Xue Shi's disbelieving eyes swept back and forth between Gu Chichi and Gu An: "You are so smart, you actually have such a stupid brother, tsk, God is jealous, God doesn't want you to live a comfortable life, so he sent such a one-sided, and came down to bring you ......"
glanced at Gu An with disdain, Xue Shixian took his clothes, muttered and left, Gu An's face was dark, and the hateful woman actually said that she was stupid......
"Kishi'er, what's going on?" Gu Xiu's vision is grim, the guests come to make clothes, fabrics, and stitches, they should be remembered clearly, and they are white, how can they be mistaken? It's so outrageous, I don't know, I think our shop is shoddy, deceiving guests, if you promise, where is there another business.
Gu Anbei gave the shopkeeper a look, and the shopkeeper took a step forward and commented urgently: "Back to Your Majesty, that princess came at night, Mr. Craftsman was in a hurry to return, and made a mistake with the two sets of clothes, Xiangyun yarn, sixteen stitches were ordered by another guest......"
Gu Xiu frowned firmly: "Even if you are in a hurry to leave, you should remember the request of the guest clearly, how can you make such a big mistake......" If it is not here today, wouldn't the signboard of the Silk Collection Store for more than ten years be smashed.
The shopkeeper agreed, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty's lesson is that the little one must obey the lesson and never make the same mistake again!" ”
"Check the clothes made by other guests carefully, don't stumble again!" Gu Chichi reminded in a deep voice, the shopkeeper looked at Gu Xiu's expression, hurriedly agreed, quickly went to the record, and found some work to do, which was much better than standing in place and being scolded by Gu Xiu.
Gu An lowered his head and arrived in front of Gu Xiu, with a look of doing a wrong job: "Dad, it's all my fault, I only care about the royal family, and I neglect the management of the shop, so I will have this kind of work today......"
Gu Chichi raised his eyebrows, the queen mother was infected with the wind and cold, and she couldn't take care of the royal affairs anymore, Gu An took the pinch, concentrated on the royal family, and tried her best to take care of the queen mother, if she didn't take care of the shop, the shop would have an accident.
He picked himself spotlessly, and put all the faults on the shopkeeper and the guy, he was really smart, although the shopkeeper and the guy have worked hard in the shop for many years, but they are subordinates, Gu An is the master, they don't dare to commit crimes and accuse Gu An.
Gu Xiu sighed softly: "No need to blame yourself, Dad knows, you can't be blamed for work!" "When An'er first returned to the capital, his talent was limited, and he couldn't have both the shop and the royal family......
"Hey, shopkeeper, this shows that when it comes to the change of seasons, why don't the number of clothes make increase but decrease!" Taking advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, Gu Chichi picked up the record book on the table and wrote down the clothes bills he received every day.
Gu Chi Chi decided that Gu Xiu would come to Jisi Xing because she wanted him to see Gu An's dirty talent, and return Gu An's authority to manage the shop, which could prove Gu An's lack of talent, of course she wanted Gu Xiu to see it.
The shopkeeper smiled unnaturally: "This is incomplete!" Reaching out to grab the record book in Gu Chichi's hand: "Eldest princess, the small one still needs to check the size......"
"I'll give it to you right away after I've read this!" Without Chen Ji, he avoided the shopkeeper's outstretched hand, Gu Chichi's little hand staggered slightly, and the record book automatically turned to the first page: "In the first few months, it was not a change of seasons, and more than ten sets of clothes would be made every day, why did there only be one or two sets a day when the seasons changed......
Talking to himself in confusion, Gu Chichi slowly handed the record book to the shopkeeper, but his eyes were secretly looking at Gu Xiu, what he said was so obvious, why didn't he give any feedback......
Gu Xiu frowned: "Chi Chi, bring the record book, let me see it!" ”
"Good!" Gu Chi waited for this sentence, quickly returned the record book, and gave it to Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu looked through the pages carefully, and his eyes became more and more heavy: "Ten sets of clothes a day in the off-season a few months ago, and only one or two sets a day in today's peak season, what's going on?" "Why is the business of the shop getting worse and worse?
"Back to ...... Back to Your Majesty...... This is just one of the record books, and the other is in the hands of Mr. Worker, recording the clothes made in recent months, but Mr. has something to do today, and he didn't come to the shop...... "The shopkeeper has managed the shop for many years, and the perfect source of the people is at my fingertips."
"Bring me the account books of the past few months!" Gu Xiu has lived in the court for many years, and the psychology of the shopkeeper can not hide from his eyes.
"Good ......" The shopkeeper looked at Gu An, Gu An's eyes looked elsewhere, and he didn't look at him, it seemed that he was not expected to take care of this matter, the shopkeeper's eyes turned sharply, and he couldn't think of a good way to handle it, so he had to hand the account book to Gu Xiu.
Gu Chichi raised his lips and sneered, the number of sets of clothes in the record book can be faked, but the account book is a realistic gold and silver record, and it can't be faked, even if it is fake, Gu Xiu can also see that the shopkeeper is miserable this time, and Gu An is not better than that.
"Smack!" As Gu Chi expected, Gu Xiu flipped through the account book, his expression became more and more gloomy, and after seeing the very, he lost his psychology, and slapped him directly, and the account book was slapped on the table: "Shopkeeper, you have worked hard in the shop for many years, and there has been nothing wrong in a row, why is it so wrong in the past few months, you look at this account book, there are many places on it that are not right, and when they add up, there is a difference of tens of thousands of taels of silver......"
The shopkeeper fell to his knees with a thud: "Your Majesty, the small one is not greedy for the silver of the shop, and there is really no greed for ......."
"You're not greedy, where did all the money go?" Gu Xiu was furious, and he didn't believe the shopkeeper's words.
"Silver, silver ......" The shopkeeper looked at Gu An secretly, he was the crown prince, the master of the shop, the shopkeeper didn't dare to blame him, but if he didn't come out, the shopkeeper would have to carry the black pot......
Gu An's eyes flashed slightly, and he reprimanded angrily: "Shopkeeper, you swallow silver privately, and you dare to quibble!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly distinguished: "The little one didn't swallow the silver privately, there really wasn't a ......" The distinguishing voice stopped abruptly when he saw Gu An's dark mouth: "Dare to bite me out, kill your whole family, quickly admit the problem, I will protect your family and beauty, and you will have no worries about food and clothing!" ’
"Shopkeeper, forgive me for your years of hard work for the shop, only if you hand over the swallowed silver, I can not blame all the work!" Gu An looked generous, and when he saw Gu Chichi's eyes, he only felt that he was a clown who jumped off the beam, acting in a boring funny play that knew the endgame.
