Chapter 346: Seeing Big from Small
This year's summer seems to be extraordinarily long.
Mattress mats to cool off the heat have also become a sought-after commodity, and various shops have put mats in the most conspicuous position.
Under the influence of this trend, the fans on the water side are selling particularly well.
Men like to use folding fans, which are not only elegant but also fanning.
And the lady's small folding fan is tucked into the belt when not in use. The hanging tassels and beads also become the best embellishments.
The folding fan became the most popular ornament for a while, and the literati loved it, and the warriors were willing to use it.
Don't look at a small fan, it can shake the entire market.
On the premise of driving consumption, it is to form a scale.
Folding fans opened up sales, and wood for processing was also produced, while also driving the market for other additional materials.
From a simple point of view, it was Qin Xiang who made the money. But if you look at it in the long run, you will find that she is driving the entire market.
But so far, very few people have seen this.
Most people are jealous that on the water side, they can sell a small folding fan to this point. As a result, the market began to be mixed, and many imitations appeared.
But those who can afford to consume will still choose to be on the water side.
One is the added value brought by the brand, and the other is the quality of the product.
What Qin Xiang wants to do is not a good thing, except for a very few fans that are used for collection rather than use, most of the fans are of higher quality than all the products on the market.
Whether it is the choice of wood, or the division of the fan surface, and the decoration of the fan, no other house can compare.
Even children are happy to hold a fan and play happily.
At this time, the fan was not only used to fan the wind, but also like a jade bracelet worn on the wrist, and a golden hairpin in the hair, which was an indispensable decoration.
The literati liked to hold a folding fan in their hands, and when they wielded it, they had a bit of freehand style, which just catered to the psychology of the literati.
Qin Xiang was inspecting the market for fans, breaking his fingers and calculating how much life these fans still had. When the summer passes, there will not be many people using fans.
Although some people still use it for decoration, most people will choose to keep warm.
The barrel of the pen tapped on the paper and made a note of it. Before the onset of winter, the factory can be allowed to produce autumn and winter products.
Today's productivity is not as good as modern assembly line processing, if you wait until winter to start preparation, with the current productivity, it can only be shipped in the deep winter.
However, productivity is directly proportional to purchasing power, and without the support of purchasing power, no matter how large the productive forces are, they cannot develop.
But Qin Xiang is not worried about this, observing the sales volume in the shop during this time, she can still afford this cost.
The tip of the pen is drawn on the paper, and the sound of rustling is in my ears.
Qin Xiang looked back and saw that Han Yunxiao was changing his robe.
The new literati robe was put on, which also added a bit of literati sentiment to him.
He was born handsome and extraordinary, with a long and toned figure, a wide waist and narrow hips, and he was definitely a walking hanger. Even the brown caftan made of coarse linen can make him noble, not to mention this well-tailored robe.
Qin Xiang tilted his head and looked at it, only then did he remember that Han Yunxiao had a party today.
It has been three months since he came to Xijing, and this is the first time Han Yunxiao has gone out to socialize.
He would rather drink at home than socialize. A bowl of wine, a table of dishes, and family to sit with.
"King Wu has returned to Beijing?"
Han Yunxiao tied the silk silk around his waist and nodded, "He made a post, I think I should go." ”
"Ready for a gift?"
"I've prepared it a long time ago, it's a folding fan that has mentioned poetry."
Poetry fans are popular, not to mention the fans in their own shops, which must be high-grade. King Wu doesn't care about these vain, and he doesn't look at the high or low as a gift, but only whether it caters to his heart.
Qin Xiang raised his cheeks to look at him, and the pen was also put aside, "You go to see King Wu, shouldn't you be going to beat the old emperor?" ”
If someone else says this in the house, he will get into trouble. Who doesn't know that the emperor has now established a secret guard, which will privately investigate the private affairs of the courtiers.
It's okay to say this clearly, but in private, which one is not scolding in my heart. If he doesn't even have a little freedom at home, what else does this person have?
Fortunately, after establishing himself as the crown prince, this dark guard is rarely mentioned.
But the courtiers don't dare to be sloppy, who knows if there is a pair of eyes secretly staring at you in the dark.
As far as Han Yunxiao is concerned, he is not worried. Although his Han Mansion is not impregnable, he is not free to let people come and go.
As soon as he returned to Beijing, the government soldiers drove away several groups of people. He will not tell the lady such a trivial matter, lest she be timid and frightened.
Qin Xiang didn't know what he was thinking, and he was looking at today's dress.
"Not bad. It seems that the magazine can go back and have a column on men's clothing matching. ”
Han Yunxiao waited for a long time, until he heard such a sentence, and he didn't know whether to laugh or what.
"If nothing else, I'll be back late, and you and the children won't have to wait for me."
Qin Xiang glanced at him with disgust and snorted lightly, "Who has to wait for you." Ziyan and Tongtong and I have already agreed that we will go out to swim in the lake in a while, and we will go to Yimingju to eat in the evening. If you still have time to spare, go to the night market. ”
"Wow, I'm not here and you're so happy?" sweet potato
"What? You still want to deprive us of parent-child time. Let's go, I'll have lunch if I delay any longer. ”
After Han Yunxiao went out, Qin Xiang let out a sigh.
The old emperor was suspicious, and they had no other way but to deal with it carefully. Whoever makes 'the whole world is not the king's land', unless they leave Xiyan, they will always be shrouded in the shadow of the old emperor.
Han Yunxiao went to see King Wu today, and he also had this consideration.
The old emperor was afraid of King Wu, lest he was worried that one day King Wu would rebel. As Han Yunxiao, who was also feared by him, he was even beaten to the faction of King Wu for a time. But everyone knows that this is fake.
Now that Han Yunxiao is going to King Wu's family banquet, with the old emperor's temperament, he may not know what he will think.
The more Qin Xiang thought about it, the happier he became, finding something to do for the old emperor, and saving him from staring at other people's family affairs all day long.
Today, I was going to take two small groups to visit the night market, and Qin Xiang ended his day's work early.
The night market is not big, just in an alley on Mao'er Street.
The alley is quite spacious, with people's facades on both sides, and it is not afraid of disturbance.
At night, there are lanterns hanging around, and it is quite lively.
However, there are still some differences from the imaginary night market, but it is enough to coax children.
There are no decent night markets in Xijing and Beijing, and Qin Xiang's concept of ancient night markets comes from film and television dramas, as well as several ancient cities that he has visited.
She originally wanted to plan a night market street, but later felt that it was too troublesome and gave up.
If you have this capital, it would be good to buy all the streets and make them into a food street.
But this idea can only be thought of, after all, there can't really be a street to sell to her.
At this time, she didn't know that her wish would soon come true.
Children are very noisy, even Han Ziyan, who is young and old, when she sees her favorite toy, her eyes will inevitably light up, and she can't walk by pulling her sleeve.
"Do you want this Trojan? But there is already one at home. ”
Han Ziyan shook his head, tugged at her sleeve again, and motioned for her to squat.
Qin Xiang didn't know why, so he still did it. I heard him whisper: "Mother, I seem to have seen a kidnapper." ”
When she heard this, she was first surprised, and then hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”
"Just around that corner, two kidnappers took a child."
Qin Xiang turned around and could only see a sleeping boy in the arms of a couple. The boy looked like a pink carving, and he was very cute. But the couple's faces were ordinary, and the clothes on their bodies were even more ordinary. But the clothes that the boy was wearing, but the children's clothes launched on the water side, belonged to a limited edition and could not be bought by ordinary people.
In the past, there were cases of losing children at the Lantern Festival, and when Qin Xiang went out, he asked Chen Wuliu to send a few people to follow him secretly.
"You follow Sister Xiaoyu, but you are not allowed to run around."
told Xiaoyu to take the little ball to eat chicken and wait, Qin Xiang took people to rush in that direction.
There were many people on the street, and it was difficult for the couple to shuttle through the crowd, and they soon turned into a dark alley.
Qin Xiang quickened his pace, waited for the two of them to enter the alley, and said coldly: "Put the child down!" ”
The couple was startled and hurriedly turned around. Seeing that it was a beautiful woman, the man sneered and said, "I advise you not to meddle in your affairs!" If you provoke Lao Tzu, even you will be sold! ”
If Qin Xiang was an ordinary woman, she would definitely be ashamed and angry at this time, or raise her voice to shout.
But Qin Xiang is not, and she will not put her own safety at risk. If the child wants to be saved, he can't put himself in it. That's not righteousness, it's recklessness.
"The man is handed over to you." She took a step back and gave the place to Chen Wuliu and them.
The couple saw that five or six tall men with strong bodies suddenly appeared behind Qin Xiang, and they were also a little stunned.
Looking at Qin Xiang's silk clothes again, he knew that he was messing with someone he shouldn't have provoked today.
"Leave it for you, children, let us go."
Qin Xiang bowed: "As long as you hand over the child to us, I won't let people arrest you." ”
The couple slowly approached, and when they were about to reach the entrance of the alley, they suddenly pushed the child into Qin Xiang's arms, and ran away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out of the alley, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded them.
"You-" The man glared at Qin Xiang viciously.
"I said I wouldn't let people arrest you, but I didn't say I wouldn't report to the official."
Qin Xiang's deep hatred for abductors is that such people have simply lost their conscience. If they don't catch it, it is not known how many parents will lose their children.
"Official, she is a liar, she deliberately reported to the official, just to snatch our children!" Seeing the officers and soldiers surrounding the people, the woman complained first. "You're going to call the shots for me!"
Qin Xiang hugged the unconscious child and looked at the two of them indifferently.
The officers and soldiers at the head looked at the two of them funny, "You don't look at the identity of this lady, it's your turn to bite." ”
There is no one in the Xijing government who does not know Qin Xiang.
First, the other party is the owner of Qin Ji, and it is inevitable that he will be taught. What's more, she is the wife of General Huwei. This layer of identity alone is enough to be respected by everyone.
"Look at the clothes this child is wearing, and look at you." The man shook his head and waved for the two to stay. "Madame is frightened."
Qin Xiang waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter." I took the child to the infirmary first, on Front Street. ”
