Chapter 161
Jiang Xuehe was a little nostalgic when she heard the name Jiao Niang, she was actually squeamish since she was a child, because in the first five years of his parents' marriage, she was their only child and was raised by them. Pei Shi felt that there was nothing wrong with her being squeamish, and even hoped that she could be so squeamish for the rest of her life, so he named her Jiaojiao. She was a fussy when she was a child, and she didn't like her name to be repeated with others, and she didn't like this nickname when she saw that many girls had delicate names. Therefore, the word Jiaojiao is only used by her parents, and after the death of her parents, no one in this world calls her Jiaojiao.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuehe couldn't help sighing: "Actually, when I was a child, my father and mother often called me Jiaojiao. β
Gu Siyan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since this is the case, then I will call you Jiao Niang in the future." β
Jiang Xuehe's face flushed: "That's a nickname, no one knows it except for my father and mother and two younger sisters." β
Gu Siyan smiled: "Isn't that better, from now on you will be just my own girl, and I will still call you Xue Niang in front of outsiders." β
Jiang Xuehe was a little embarrassed, but she also felt that this was good, so she acquiesced to the proposal.
Seeing that she acquiesced, Gu Siyan shouted several times until Jiang Xuehe stepped on him lightly.
"Good Jiao Niang, you just let me teach a few more times, and when my master goes on a study tour, I'm afraid that I won't be able to call me if you want to hear it." Gu Siyan sighed.
"Who wants to hear that?" Jiang Xuehe pursed her lips and asked, "What's the matter with the study tour you said?" β
"Dean Han of our academy has always advocated reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, so he takes students out to study from time to time every once in a while, and it is my honor to be selected this time, and Ah Xing and Hanzhi are also going to go."
Wouldn't it be months before we could see each other?
Jiang Xuehe was a little reluctant to hear this: "Then I'll go and prepare some dry food for the three of you." β
Gu Siyan said with a smile: "I think Mr. shouldn't be short of food for us to eat, Jiao Niang will prepare some sour plums, in case Ah Xing gets seasick, you can eat some." β
Jiang Xuehe felt that there was some truth in what she said, so she went to prepare. She also told Gu Sixian about it, and also asked her sister to do her best. Gu Sixian then sewed a new bookbag for Gu Siyan and others, this time the bookbag is different from the past, the fabric used is very special, and it has a little waterproof effect. But in the end, it is fabric, no matter how waterproof it is, it will penetrate more, so Jiang Xuehe suggested that she put a layer of oiled paper in this bookbag, which can be regarded as double insurance.
After Gu Sixian and Jiang Yunlan teamed up to make it, they tried it and found that the effect was really good, and they both liked it very much. Xu Zixi's eyes were red when he saw it, in the past, Gu Sixian and Jiang Yunlan used to make four copies of whatever they did, but since he stopped studying, the two of them no longer did his share, which made him feel that he was left out.
Gu Sixing said in disgust: "What are you going to do?" Do you also study? Do you also study abroad? Why do you think this bag doesn't have your share? Can't you think that your pile of purse belts doesn't have our share? β
Of course, it's not completely nothing, Gu Sixian will make a copy for the Gu Siyan brothers every time she thinks of a new trick, but there are some fancy patterns that the Gu brothers don't like, so when they encounter fancy patterns, Gu Sixian doesn't want to do it for Xu Zixi. Xu Zixi also knew something faintly, but when he thought that Gu Sixian had done more for him, he was extremely happy in his heart, revealing a smirk.
Gu Sixing couldn't see him laugh like this, so he couldn't help but count a few more words.
Xu Zixi doesn't care about this, anyway, the things are already in his hands, so he can be happy. It's a pity that Gu Sixian still has a year to go. According to Gu Siyan's meaning, he waited for Gu Sixian to marry when she was sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was reluctant to let his sister stay for two more years. And Gu Siyan felt that it was not too late to wait for his sister to marry when she was eighteen years old, and if Xu Zixi dared to run, he could find a better one.
Xu Zixi knew what they thought, but he couldn't wait that long, why did the brothers reluctant to ask his fiancΓ© to suffer if his sister wanted him, his fiancΓ©, to suffer? Even if Sister Ah Xian marries him, he won't let Sister Ah Xian go to see her eldest brother! As soon as Ah Xian's sister arrives, he will marry someone back! However, there are two eldest brothers who stop me, and I am afraid that this matter is not so easy, and I have to ask my mother for help.
Jiang Xuehe saw that the latest bookbag was good and waterproof, so she asked Gu Sixian and the others to make a few more and sell them in the Junzilou, and the embroidered ones were mostly Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum patterns. This book bag is also divided into layers, although it looks heavier than the previous book bag, but it is very suitable for classifying books. In addition, the appearance of this bookbag is also well designed, and the embroidery is exquisite, so it is very popular as soon as it is listed, and Jiang Xuehe put twenty on the first day and sold it out all at once.
Xu Zixi also went to buy it, thinking that even if Ah Xian's sister wouldn't embroider a bookbag for him now, he couldn't live without the things that the two eldest brothers even had Liu Hanzhi. He also bought seven in one go, because there are seven kinds of embroidery patterns on these bookbags, such as plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, lotus, pine and willow, and the work in the building is subtle when he sees it, and he doesn't understand what this young master has done.
But they are also used to it, and Xu Zixi also bought some of the bookbags and pencil cases in this building in the past, and every time he bought them, he bought all the patterns. And when he bought it, he was very picky, they looked at the embroidery patterns were all the same, but Xu Zixi could tell which one was embroidered by Gu Sixian and which was not, so he specially picked the ones embroidered by Gu Sixian to buy.
Gu Sixian felt that he was wasting money, and on the other hand, she felt that he was very attentive to herself, and she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
Because of the special fabric and complex workmanship, Jiang Xuehe's price is not low, eight taels of silver for a bookbag, Xu Zixi spent fifty-six taels in one breath, and he is indeed wealthy.
It's just that although this thing is a little more expensive, it is still very popular, and after the twenty were sold, people kept coming to ask when they would be in stock. This Jiang Xuehe can't guarantee that she has always been casual in selling embroidery in the Gentleman's Building and the Lady's Building, and she will sell as much as Gu Sixian and Jiang Yunlan do, and she will not keep the two of them busy just because something is easy to sell. After all, it is her and Gu Siyan's own sister, how can she not feel distressed?
Therefore, Jiang Xuehe could only tell those guests that Junzilou would sell it as long as there was goods, but that thing was not easy to make, and the speed of loading would be slower, and the quantity would be small.
When I heard the news, the other stores were very happy. If Junzilou wants to do this business, they will not be able to rob it. But since Junzilou doesn't know how to seize opportunities at all, then they can't be blamed, right? After all, if they don't do this business, others will do it, so why bother with money?
Unlike the incense powder sold by Jiang Xuehe, even if you can guess the formula of that thing, it is not necessarily clear how to prepare it, and it is difficult to really copy it. But this bag is simple, just find that kind of fabric and make one according to it. They can even find some great embroiderers to embroider more beautiful patterns and sell them for a higher price!
But the only question now is, where did that fabric come from? Merchants who wanted to imitate the bookbag searched the entire city, but they did not find the kind of fabric used in the gentleman's building.
Jiang Xuehe was also curious: "Where did that fabric come from?" β
Gu Sixian shook her head: "Speaking of which, it was given to me by Mr. Xiyue." Mr. Xiyue said that some time ago the house was a little damp, and she had a lot of books that were wet, so she wanted to make something to protect those books, and then gave me a big piece of hard cloth and told me to make a bigger bag. After I was done, there was still something left, and my brothers were going to take a boat to study, so I simply made a book bag for each of them. β
Jiang Xuehe then went to ask Jiang Xiyue again, and Jiang Xiyue just smiled after hearing it.
"I've always wanted a waterproof book bag, so I've been researching waterproof fabrics. It's a pity that I have been researching for a long time and have no results, so I can only weave that level of hard cloth. Fortunately, you thought of breading a layer of oiled paper in it, and this really fulfilled my thoughts. β
Jiang Xuehe was very surprised: "That hard cloth was actually woven by yourself?" β
Jiang Xiyue nodded: "I've been studying for many years, and I finally have some results." Rest assured, this business is currently the only one you can do. β
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "Actually, I didn't think about doing this business. It is true that this business is not difficult to do, but I am reluctant to let Ah Xian and Yunlan nest at home every day to make bookbags. Now it has answered my idea, if I want to do a great job, won't you also weave every day? β
