Chapter Twenty-Eight: Who Should Be in the Limelight?
Shang Ruonan's words choked the second sister. It's true, no one can understand such a record.
Shang Ruonan called a few girls, picked up those bowls, and then asked the sisters if they wanted to go to their father together, and the eldest sister waved her hand and said:
"I'll cut out this skirt, and when you come back and take a look, I'm not going."
In the end, only the third sister went with her. Neither of the two little ones wanted to move.
When I arrived at my parents' yard, there was still a little girl standing at the door. He probably looked like he was five or six years old. The height is about the same as the current self. When the little girl saw them coming, she saluted and shouted crisply:
"I've seen Miss Three, I've seen Miss Four."
Shang Ruonan also thought of it, and if he wanted to report, he stood still. Sure enough, the little girl called in:
"Sister Xiangyu, the third and fourth misses are here."
Then he called someone to reply:
"It's not like to say, the ladies can come in directly."
The little girl hurriedly saluted the two young ladies and shouted:
"Miss, please come in."
Ruonan and Panlan hurried in. As soon as Panlan entered, she exclaimed:
"Dad, Dad, Mother, come and see, come and see, look at these colors made by Xiaosi, they really look good."
Shang Dongliang just helped Mrs. Shang to half lie on the couch. Hearing Panlan's voice, this daughter's temperament was already very anxious, and if there was anything, she heard her voice first and then saw people.
Shang Dongliang put a thin quilt on his wife and stood up and said:
"Bring it in. Your mother is tired from walking. ”
While talking, the three girls pulled the four girls into the back of the screen in the inner room. My mother was lying there, and my father was standing in front of the couch. The third girl raised two handkerchiefs in her hands and shouted:
"Dad, mother, look at it, this is made by the fourth sister, I like this color the most. I'll give this one. ”
Mrs. Shang saw the color on her daughter's hand, flickering and flickering, like a ray of sunlight flashing in front of her eyes. It's beautiful.
Mrs. Shang is also a person who loves beauty. Hurriedly propped up his waist and sat up and said:
"Take it to my mother, this is so beautiful."
Panlan immediately snuggled up to her mother's side. Then I shared these two handkerchiefs with my mother. Ruonan was much calmer, turned around and asked the girls to bring the things to the table, and then the girls went out.
Shang Dongliang looked at the eight bowls on the table, and the handkerchiefs stacked on one side, each color brought Shang Dongliang a sense of impact. Because he didn't think he had ever seen such a beautiful color.
"Sir, help me up. I'll take a look! ”
Mrs. Shang was also attracted by the handkerchief on the table, and she also got up to take a look. Shang Dongliang reached out to help his wife up. Mrs. Shang sat down, pulled them out one by one, and every time she looked at it, she was amazed! When I saw the veil that had been tied and dyed so flowery, I was even more surprised:
"I see, I see. Sir, are you going to sell these? It's sure to sell for a good price! ”
Any woman would love these cloths! Master Shang smiled:
"I just want to match the color of this cause, and then we dye it ourselves, I now have a batch of white cloth in the warehouse, I wanted to open a dyeing room last year, but then it didn't work, and now there is white cloth and dyes, which is ready-made."
"Open! Open this, I'm a woman, I know, this must be easy to sell, not only easy to sell, but also sell for a big price, maybe, the capital will also want this kind of cloth! ”
Seeing that Mrs. was so sure, Shang Dongliang also nodded and said:
"I've arranged for Changgen to prepare the yard, and we'll make it ourselves in the outer courtyard where I used to live when I was a child."
When Madame heard this, she thought about it:
"Do you want to dye it yourself at home?"
Shang Dongliang nodded and said:
"I made it at home first, because this recipe was made by Xiao Si, and I can't let others know it yet. You can only do it in your own home. Today we went to see the yard. I also told Nagane that he would prepare some things, and we would dye some cloth and make some clothes for the children to wear to the prefect's banquet. ”
Pan Lan hurriedly continued:
"Mother, mother, look at this color, I like this the most, I plan to make this dress!"
Mrs. Shang looked at it and said:
"Every color here is beautiful and you should love it. However, I don't approve of you wearing this dress to a banquet! ”
"Why?"
Pan Lan asked anxiously. Not only did she want to ask, but even Shang Dongliang wanted to ask.
Mrs. Shang stretched out her hand and patted Pan Lan and Shang Ruonan lovingly:
"Think about it, in this Baiyuan City. Except for the palaces, the most powerful person is the current prefect. If you go to someone's house, it is the prefect who invites you to go, and you wear the latest fabric, and she doesn't. She'll be embarrassed then! We're just merchants, you say, 'Is that good?' ”
Shang Ruonan was reminded by Mrs. Shang like this, and he immediately understood. I deeply feel that although Mrs. Shang is in the inner house, the way to do this is clear!
Shang Dongliang also understood what his wife meant, and after thinking about it, he broke out in a cold sweat. If this rushes out like this, it won't offend the female dependents of the prefect's mansion. I'm afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses!
Shang Dongliang saluted his wife and said:
"Thank you, Madame!"
Only Panlan was a little anxious and said:
"Mother, why can't we wear this? We wear it first, so that others can see the benefits of this cloth, and others will come to buy our cloth! ”
"Third sister, what we want is to sell cloth, not to be in the limelight!"
"Yes, look at it, the four sisters all understand this truth, but you don't understand it. Tell me, the guest you invited was dressed more flamboyantly than you, and everyone went around her, are you happy? ”
Well, in that case, I'm not very happy! But when she thought of such beautiful clothes, she couldn't wear them, Shang Panlan was a little angry! Just because your family is a merchant?
Shang Ruonan looked at the sad appearance of the third sister, and his heart was also a little blocked, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Dad, mother, look, can it be like this, let's go, don't we want to give Miss Prefect a gift? Why don't we make her a dress! This limelight, let's let her come out! Let her help us pull the guests, do you think it's possible? ”
"Oops! Xiao Si said that this method is the best! Miss Prefect made clothes in our shop. We also have her size, so it's so much easier to do! I'll ask someone tomorrow to see what color she prefers. Then we'll make her a dress and send it to her. Let her wear it out early that day. At the same time, we will put the cloth on the shelves and sell it! ”
Master Shang slapped his thigh and settled the matter.
