June of the 11th year of the Great Sui Tianyou

The weather in the imperial capital is already hot for men to like to go out on the streets, and the young women who love beauty wear the most beautiful gauze skirts, revealing their white necks, and their graceful steps are fully displayed. The streets are full of ***, full of carmine, and naturally it is indispensable for the prodigal son to wander around the streets trying to capture the beautiful and delicious.

And another reason why Chang'an City is becoming more and more lively is the most important, in three days, the martial arts academy will start the exam.

That night, after injuring the big dog, he disappeared, and he didn't know where he was hiding. The guards of the Great Inner Department and the people of the love office secretly searched but did not find it, Chang'an City is too big for one reason, and the ability of Chenya is another reason.

There is the wound medicine of the Great Inner Guard, the injury of the big dog has been controlled, and the Shen Tilting Fan needs to recuperate, and he has already injured two people around him after entering the imperial capital for a month, Fang Xie really doesn't know whether this Chang'an City should be regarded as a blessing or a curse for himself. People close to him were seriously injured one after another, but he was also appreciated by His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, and he might really be able to soar into the sky just by entering the Yanwu Academy.

Even if you can't enter the Martial Arts Academy, a few university scholars are still looking forward to it.

There are only three days left before the start of the exam, and Fang Xie must calm down and prepare. Although he relied on some knowledge in his previous life, he was basically somewhat sure of arithmetic, liberal arts, and painting, but there were also two subjects of music and etiquette, which he was basically not sure of, plus his martial arts...... If you want to make a splash when you enter the martial arts academy exam, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

After reading a book in the shop behind closed doors for a long time, Fang Xie felt that his head was almost going to explode. A while ago, Huai Qiugong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, specially sent someone to give him a copy of "The Book of Rites", and he looked through it for several days, but the cumbersome things made his head extremely big. After watching it for a long time and thinking about it, I still don't remember much.

Take the seemingly simple matter of greeting the courtesy, for example, the rules are dazzling. Peers are courteous, bend down a little, bow their hands a little, how to stand on their legs, how to lower their heads, and even where they look have rules. When the younger generation sees the salute, bend down a little, bow his hands a little, how to stand his legs, and how to lower his head...... The distinction is detailed and strict, so that Fang Jie's temperament becomes more and more irritated the more he looks at it.

He simply threw the book aside, spread a piece of rice paper on the table, and drew a few drawings with charcoal. After finishing the drawing, he rolled the rice paper and stuffed it into the cuffs, got up and said hello to the big dogs, and went out. Walking slowly along the bustling street, looking at the pleasing warbler on the street, Yanyan's mood suddenly improved a lot. The postures of those young girls and young women with light movements could make it more and more difficult to hide the hearts of the animals under the men's dignified expressions.

Fang Xie walked into a tailor's shop, found an old tailor who was famous on a few nearby streets, unfolded the picture he had just drawn in front of him and asked, "Can you do this?" ”

The old tailor looked at Fang Jie's drawing, was stunned for a moment, and then asked him, "You drew it?" ”

Fang Xie nodded.

The old tailor snorted, then picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then said, "Although your drawing is very awkward, I have to say that such clothes are ...... Even if it can be made, no one dares to wear it. Can you tell me what this dress is called? ”

"I call it ...... Cheongsam"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Isn't it beautiful for a woman to wear it?" ”

The old tailor put down the picture and actually blushed: "Too much dew......"

"You don't care if you show a lot or not, you just say it's beautiful or not?"

The old tailor was silent, nodded and said: "I have never thought that clothes can be done in my life, Da Sui only stipulates that people are not allowed to wear brocade clothes, nor can they wear Hu clothes casually, and there are no other too strict requirements...... But your idea is still too bold, I'm afraid that as soon as I make it, I will be scolded immediately, and no matter how bold a woman is, I don't dare to wear it on the street. ”

"I'll let my own woman wear it at home for me to look at and relieve my boredom, okay?"

Fang Xie said with a smile.

"Okay! The government can't control it! ”

The old tailor put the picture away, looked at the solution, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to find a promising job to do?" ”

"What?"

Fang asked.

The old tailor leaned in and said seriously, "I still lack an apprentice......

"Stop dreaming."

Fang Xie puffed up his chest very proudly and said, "I'm going to be a student of the Martial Arts Academy!" ”

The old cripple was stunned, and couldn't help but clench his fists and apologize: "Disrespectful and disrespectful...... That one...... It's okay to make this dress, but you need to prepare, after all, it is difficult to get to the point where the clothes on your picture are the same, and it may take many modifications, and the fabric consumed is a lot of money. I've had to fumble around, so I'm going to have to wait a lot of time...... If these pieces are made, twenty taels! ”

"Five hundred taels."

Fang Xie stretched out five fingers and gestured.

The old tailor looked at Fang Xie with the eyes of a fool, and thought that he had misheard.

"Five hundred taels?"

He asked.

"Well, five hundred taels...... However, it was you who gave me 500 miles. ”

Fang Xie smiled and said: "You give me five hundred taels of silver, I will take these clothes after they are made, but you can keep this picture and continue to make it yourself, I don't care how much the clothes are sold, but if there are more than 200 pieces of clothes sold, I will take 30% of each piece sold." Of course, because you are the first person to buy the picture, I will give priority to selling you the picture in the future...... I've got no shortage of fresh styles in my hands,"

"You're not sick, are you?"

The old tailor looked at Fang Xie with a look of disdain.

"I'm going to do it all"

At this time, a voice came from behind Fang Jie, revealing an atmosphere: "I will buy all the good styles you have in the future, and I am planning to let the firm start the ready-to-wear business recently." ”

Fang Xie was shocked and turned to look, only to find that Wu Yiyi didn't know when he was standing at the door of the tailor shop.

"It's too bad for a good seedling like you not to do business."

Wu Yi looked at Fang Xie with a look of appreciation.

……

……

Sanjin Houfu

Sitting in the pavilion by the small lotus pond, Fang Xie was fortunate to taste one or two of the one-branched red robes that could be exchanged for a house. After tasting it with a little childishness, he asked Wu Yiyi: "Is there a tael of silver in this small mouthful?" ”

Wu Yi smiled and said, "This is not a matter of how much silver you have...... Even if you have silver, give a hundred taels, five hundred taels, a thousand taels, or ten thousand taels, and if I am not pleased, I will not be able to buy it. In addition to the few catties that are dedicated to the palace every year, the remaining two or three catties are here with me. When I'm in a good mood, whoever brings it up and says that Wu Yiyi will take out your single branch and taste it, I won't be stingy. If I'm not happy, I don't care about the dignitaries. ”

"Domineering"

Fang Xie slapped a sycophant.

Wu Yiyi couldn't help but be amused by these three words, pointed to the teacup and said: "Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, refers to the tea leaves picked from the tea trees on the cliffs of Wuyi Mountain, because the geographical location of that place is unique, the soil is very special, and the climate is special, so the tea trees are also special, and the taste of tea is even more special, with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers." Tea produced in other places, even if it can be called the best tea, can be brewed seven times at most and then lose its taste, but Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao can be brewed nine times and still have a residual fragrance of tea. ”

"The so-called one-branched big red robe, when picking, needs to refer to a young girl with a body fragrance, climb up with only a single coat, carefully look for the most perfect piece of tea on each tea tree, and pick it, not into the utensils, but into the underwear pocket specially sewn close to the chest. Often at the end of the day, the girl can't pick a dozen or twenty branches. Because she is very tired, the girl sweats, and her body is so fragrant that the sweat is fragrant. ”

"Originally, the tea has the fragrance of osmanthus, coupled with the fragrance of the girl's body, the fragrance of this big red robe is naturally not comparable to other teas. Moreover, the best tea leaves of each tea tree are picked, and the most experienced roasted tea master personally stir-fried, and the process is very complicated, so it is not surprising. ”

After listening to Wu Yiyi's explanation, Fang Xie picked up the teacup and put it under his nose and sniffed it: "Is there really a girl's body fragrance?" ”

Wu Yi said with a smile: "That's, the Sao Qing literati need this artistic conception, so naturally they want to say so." If you want to say that a beard and a sweaty man with bare feet picked it down, who still drinks it? ”

Fang Xie smiled, and said in his heart that this richest man in Wu is also a wonderful person.

"I just looked at the picture you made, and it does...... Unconventional and bold. ”

Wu Yi pointed to the sketches drawn with charcoal above the table and said: "But if such clothes are made, if you invite all the bustards in the Qinglou in the capital to come and have a look, they will definitely be willing to pay money to buy them." Wearing such clothes, the girls in the building are at least five points more enchanting and charming. ”

"Uh...... This dress, very serious. ”

Fang Xie said seriously.

"I'm talking about it seriously, too."

Wu Yiyi looked at him and smiled: "This kind of clothes is too bold, think about it yourself, who dared to wear it in the first place?" It must be the popular girls in Qinglou, because they dare to show their most beautiful side without reservation. And the so-called women from good families naturally don't dare to wear clothes indiscriminately. If it weren't for the tulle skirts of those girls who had been to the Red Sleeves, how could it be that the gauze skirts that would have filled the streets in the years and even now as long as it is spring? ”

"It's a process."

Wu Yi smiled and said: "That old tailor can't see the value of these clothes you painted, so he can only open that small tailor's shop for the rest of his life." I just said that if I make these clothes and sell them to those Qinglou women, I will make a small fortune at most. Because soon the tailor shop will have to learn secretly, and it won't take two years to be like this gauze skirt all over Chang'an City. ”

"Tell me, how can you get the most out of these clothes?"

He asked for a solution.

Fang Xie was silent for a while and said: "Go to the government for approval first, the style of this dress is unique to me, and no one can do it except me, otherwise it will be theft." ”

"The Great Sui Imperial Court doesn't have this rule."

Wu Yi thought for a while and said, "But this reminds me, I'll write an excerpt and hand it over to tomorrow." In the future, whoever thinks of such a unique idea will be whoever, and the court must protect it, and it can't be used by anyone. ”

Fang Xie secretly said ashamed, and said in his heart that he had forgotten that there were no laws protecting patents in this world. However, Wu Yiyi immediately thought of the importance of this, and his businessman's vision could not but be praised. He is the richest man in the Great Sui, and his subordinates are full of talents, so it is not difficult to think of any good ideas, and with the protection of the imperial court decrees, it will indeed be of great benefit in the future.

"You continue"

Wu Yi made a gesture of please.

Fang Xie pondered for a while, leaned over and whispered a few words in Wu Yiyi's ear. Before he finished speaking, Wu Yiyi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. After Fang Xie finished his thoughts, this rich man couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "I said before, if you don't do business, you really waste such a good talent...... In this way, if you can't get into the Yanwu Academy, or if you don't adapt to the way of survival in the imperial court, you can come to me, and I will leave you a position as the shopkeeper of the goods in the world, you must know that my goods are all over the Great Sui, and the people employed by the trading house are not 10,000 but 8,000...... There are only ten people who can sit in the shopkeeper's seat. ”

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Let's talk about how much silver a year is the salary before we talk about it." ”

Wu Yiyi couldn't help laughing.

was smiling, and Wu Yinyu, the eldest lady who was watching the fish playing opposite the lotus pond, couldn't help but be curious, and came over and asked, "What makes Daddy so happy, tell me about it." ”

Wu Yiyi pointed to the drawing on the table and said: "I am discussing with Fang Jie, who should be the first to wear this dress out, shocking the entire Chang'an City." ”

Wu Yinyu picked up the drawing and looked at it, and then praised: "What a beautiful dress, Daddy, I will wear it too!" ”

Wu Yi's face darkened, and he smiled wryly: "How can this work......

"Why can't this work?"

Wu Yinyu asked Fang Jie: "You say, I still can't wear it?" ”

Fang Xie looked at Wu Yiyi and didn't dare to speak.

"Yu'er, don't make trouble."

"If you don't let me wear it, I'll ......"

Wu Yinyu hesitated for a moment and threatened: "I'll tear this picture up." ”

Wu Yi pointed to Fang Xie and said, "He can still draw." ”

Wu Yinyu stomped his feet angrily, walked to the lotus pond and said fiercely: "If you don't allow me to wear it in the future, I will jump down and die with this drawing!" ”

Fight like Kilkenny cats......

Fang Xie had a black line in his head, and said in his heart that this girl is really powerful.

Wu Yiyi hurriedly got up to persuade, Wu Yinyu said don't come over, I'll jump if you come over. Fang Xie said quietly: "It's just to scare you, right?" ”

Wu Yiyi said seriously: "You are wrong, she really dares to jump." Although this pool is not deep, it is also troublesome to get sludge, right? The point is, if she gets cold, it will be bad if she gets sick. Let's not go over, she's just a child's temper...... It's enough to make trouble for a while. ”

"The way to make her never jump into the lotus pond, you haven't thought about it?"

Fang asked.

Wu Yi frowned: "Unless she changes her temper, how can it be?" If you have a way to make her not have to threaten me by jumping into the lotus pond in the future, I will find a way to help you enter the Martial Arts Academy. ”

"Then let me do it."

Fang Xie got up and left the pavilion, then walked to the side of the lotus pond, turned his back to the eldest lady and Wu Yi, and unbuttoned his pants and poured a soak of urine into the lotus pond......

"Shameless!"

The eldest lady Wu Yinyu scolded with a red face, turned around and ran away.

The corners of Wu Yiyi's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.
