Chapter 53
"Sister-in-law." Zhang Jihan screamed in fear.
"What's wrong?" Liu Meiniang put down the teacup and asked.
"Nothing, nothing." Zhang Jihan hurriedly lowered his head.
"The girl is already married?" Xue Wuyi asked in surprise.
"Well, my husband's surname is Zhang." Liu Meiniang has nothing to hide, as long as you want to know about this matter, you can understand it thoroughly by asking casually.
A strange light flashed in Xue Wuyi's eyes, and it quickly disappeared.
The pen and ink soon came up, and Liu Meiniang directly chose to paint with goose feathers.
After all, it is to express the design of the clothing, the brush is still very difficult to outline, her calligraphy is good, does not mean that the painting is good, and now can not be exposed too much, what if it arouses everyone's suspicion.
I saw Liu Meiniang dip the tail of a goose feather in ink and start drawing on the white paper.
Of course, goose feathers are not as flexible as pencils, but fortunately, Liu Meiniang only spent an approximate one, so there is no need to outline the details so clearly.
"This ......" As soon as Liu Meiniang stopped writing, Xue Wuyi was the first to call out, causing the pothos to come forward to see.
"The girl's dress is so beautiful." Women are born with a love for clothes and bags, and the pothos has obviously been impressed by the clothes painted by Liu Meiniang.
"Can the girl color?" Xue Wuyi proposed.
"Is there any paint?" Liu Meiniang asked, it must be the best effect after coloring.
"Childe, wait a minute, I'll go get the paint." After speaking, the pothos walked out quickly.
After Liu Meiniang finished coloring, when she saw Xue Wuyi and Luluo's reaction, she knew that today's cooperation was gone.
"Girl, this dress was designed by the girl herself?" Xue Wuyi asked in surprise.
Because what Liu Meiniang painted on paper just now is the costume of the noble lady of the Ming Dynasty in Hanfu.
However, in the era of Daqi, the costumes seem to be more diversified, and on the street where she came, Liu Meiniang observed that the people here wear clothes more casually, so she dared to draw this picture.
When she was in modern times, she still had some understanding of Hanfu, and since Daqi was an overhead era, there would definitely not be any Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties before and after, so even if she painted all the clothes of these dynasties, she didn't have to worry about being labeled as a rebel.
And there are so many types of modern Hanfu, it should be very popular to draw casually.
I'm sorry guys.
"yes." Liu Meiniang didn't blush at all when she said this.
"Girl, do you have any drawings like this?" Xue Wuyi asked with the drawings.
"And many more." Liu Meiniang said unabashedly.
"That's ....." Xue Wuyi was obviously excited.
"Is Boss Xue willing to cooperate with me?" Liu Meiniang asked rhetorically.
"Yes, willingly." Xue Wuyi smiled with a cunning face, at least in Liu Meiniang's eyes.
"I have to say that Boss Xue is a very far-sighted person." Liu Meiniang said.
"Why did the girl say that?"
"Does Boss Xue know who has the best money in this world?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"This ..... I also asked the girl to give advice. Xue Wuyi looked at Liu Meiniang with interest.
"Women, of course." Liu Meiniang said.
"Women?" Three exclamations rang out.
"You don't believe me?" Liu Meiniang asked rhetorically.
"This ...... Why did the girl say that? Pothos was the first to speak.
"It may not be obvious in Qingshi County, I want to ask if Boss Xue has been to the capital?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"I have indeed been to the capital a few times." Xue Wuyi said.
"I asked Boss Xue, apart from the teahouse and wine shop in the capital, what shop has the most?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"Yes........ Ready-to-wear shops and fat powder shops ......," Xue Wuyi replied.
"Isn't this the end of it, aren't ready-to-wear shops and fat powder shops all open for women? Women have to work for their husbands and their sons, and they have to spend time dressing themselves. When Liu Meiniang said this, the three of them suddenly became enlightened.
"The girl has been to the capital?" Xue Wuyi raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, I'm fooling around." Liu Meiniang shrugged her shoulders and said.
"What a visionary girl." Xue Wuyi suddenly felt that he had earned it today. He vaguely felt that if he succeeded in cooperating with Liu Meiniang today, he would definitely have a big surprise in the future.
"It's over." Liu Meiniang said with a faint smile.
"Then let's get back to business, Boss Xue, how much are you going to pay for these cloths of ours?" Liu Meiniang asked.
Xue Wuyi stretched out a finger.
"A penny?" Zhang Jihan said in surprise that he didn't expect that a piece of cloth could buy so much.
"No, it's one or two." Xue Wuyi corrected.
"One... Or? Zhang Jihan felt like he was dreaming now.
"Girl, how much does it cost?" Xue Wuyi asked.
"Barely enough." Liu Meiniang took another sip of tea, and I have to say that Xue Wuyi's tea is indeed good.
"Why did the girl say that?" Xue Wuyi was not angry.
"The center of gravity of Caiyi Pavilion is in the capital." Liu Meiniang said affirmatively.
"The girl is clever." Xue Wuyi said appreciatively that he had never seen such a smart woman, except for that person.
"Such materials, plus my drawings, are placed in the Caiyi Pavilion in the capital, and there should be people rushing to ask for twenty taels of ready-to-wear clothes, right?" Liu Meiniang said casually.
The girl laughed. Xue Wuyi was shocked, he didn't expect a village girl to have such insight, after seeing the drawings drawn by Liu Meiniang, he decided to do this, if he put it on sale in the capital, let alone twenty taels, thirty taels will also be a hot item.
"People are stupid and have a lot of money, don't they?" Liu Meiniang added.
"Hahaha, the girl is so interesting." Xue Wuyi is now completely convinced by Liu Meiniang, and it is best to describe those gentlemen in the capital with a lot of stupid money, isn't it?
"Boss Xue, I can provide three drawings every month to ensure that your Caiyi Pavilion in the capital will have three new clothes every month."
Although Liu Meiniang's words sounded obedient, Xue Wuyi still understood everything.
"Is this true?" Xue Wuyi's eyes lit up and asked.
"Do I look so much like a liar?" Liu Meiniang pointed to her face helplessly.
"It's not like it." Hurriedly said.
"Then Boss Xue is happy to cooperate?" Liu Meiniang asked playfully.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"We brought five pieces of cloth this time, as well as this drawing, what price is Boss Xue going to give?" Liu Meiniang asked with one hand on her chin.
"Cloth, one horse and one tael, as for this drawing, how about three taels of silver?" Xue Wuyi said fairly.
"Deal." Liu Meiniang clapped her hands and said.
"The ...... in the back," Xue Wuyi asked.
"Later, I will provide silk, and your people will weave cloth, and I will ask you for five dollars for a piece of cloth, right?" Liu Meiniang smiled with a pure face.
"No more, no less." Xue Wuyi hurriedly waved his hand, how could he have reason to disagree with such a good thing.
"Pothos, go and get ten taels of silver for this girl.
"Boss Xue, this is ......."
"The extra two taels are the sincerity of my cooperation with the girl, of course, I hope that the girl's things are only supplied to the Caiyi Pavilion family."
Old fox, Liu Meiniang commented in her heart.
"Of course," it's not for nothing that Caiyi Pavilion can do so big.
"Then thank you, girl." The smile on Xue Wuyi's face became more and more intense.
"You're welcome." Liu Meiniang stood up, now that the matter has been negotiated, it is time for them to leave.
"Wait, girl, there's another question down there." Xue Wuyi stopped Liu Meiniang.
Boss Xue said. Liu Meiniang looked at Xue Wuyi suspiciously.
"Is there really nothing wrong with the name below?" Xue Wuyi asked tangledly, Liu Meiniang couldn't help laughing in her heart, it seems that this Xue Wuyi has obsessive-compulsive disorder and has not run.
"Hasn't Boss Xue read the Book of Songs?" Liu Meiniang said indifferently.
"The Book of Songs? What is that? Xue Wuyi's face was dazed, and Liu Meiniang's face was also a little bad, don't the people of this dynasty know...... She is really a pig brain, in this overhead era, there is no Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and of course there will be no Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, since there is none, how can there be a "Book of Songs".
Looking at the bright eyes of the three of them, Liu Meiniang deeply felt that she had dug a pit for herself.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Meiniang waved her hand.
"I hope the girl will tell me." Xue Wuyi insisted.
"There is a poem called, 'How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son, and the king is a teacher, and you will repair my spear.'" After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, she saw Xue Wuyi's eyes change.
"Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are with the Son? Good poetry! Xue Wuyi slapped his fan on the palm of his hand and said loudly.
"Hehehe." Liu Meiniang said with a dry smile.
"Girl, you wrote this poem yourself?" Xue Wuyi asked with a burning look in his eyes.
"No, no, I forgot I heard it there." Liu Meiniang didn't dare to pretend to be forced in this matter, and if she pretended to be forced too much, she would be struck by lightning.
"That's right, thank you, girl." Xue Wuyi handed it over.
"You're welcome."
And Zhang Jihan is still in a state of blindfolding, he didn't expect ten taels of silver to be so easy to get?
"Girl, if there is anything else you need to cooperate with, just come to me." Xue Wuyi sent Liu Meiniang and her party out of the Caiyi Pavilion with a smile, and each of them was holding a fine cloth of their own choosing.
"It's nature." After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, she said goodbye to Xue Wuyi.
"Luluo, go check this Liu Meiniang." Xue Wuyi looked at Liu Meiniang's back and said.
"It's the owner." A smile curled up at the corner of the pothos mouth, she was also very interested in this Liu Meiniang.
"Also, I don't want to be disobedient." Xue Wuyi's voice came.
"Yes."
Pothos replied respectfully.
After Xue Wuyi's figure disappeared, Lu Luo called the pink-clothed woman who had just entertained Zhang Li and his party.
"Let's go, Caiyi Pavilion doesn't need you anymore."
"Sister Pothos, I was wrong." When the woman in pink heard the words of the green pothos, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground all of a sudden.
"The owner is already angry, and it's useless for you to beg me." The pothos didn't look at the kneeling woman on the ground, and left directly.
"Sister-in-law is so powerful, so powerful." Now in Zhang Dandan's eyes, Liu Meiniang is an omnipotent superman.
"Yes, Mei Niang, you are too capable." Aunt Li said sincerely.
"Aunt Li, don't praise me." Liu Meiniang grinned and showed a mouthful of big white teeth.
"Aunt Li, these two taels of silver are for you." Liu Meiniang stuffed two pieces of broken silver into Aunt Li's hand.
"Two taels, no, it's too much." Aunt Li hurriedly stuffed the money back, and two taels of silver was already a huge amount of money for them.
"Aunt Li, you take it." Liu Meiniang insisted.
"This ......."
"Her aunt, you just take it." Zhang Li also said with a smile.
"That's good, my aunt will accept it today, and if you have something in the future, just call your aunt." Aunt Li held the silver tightly in her hand.
"Okay, Aunt Li." Liu Meiniang said with a smile.
For Zhang Li and Aunt Li, they can be regarded as earning the first pot of gold in their lives, and their faces are filled with happy smiles.
"Mother," Liu Meiniang handed the silver to Zhang Li.
"Mei Niang, what are you doing here?" Zhang Li asked in surprise.
"Mother, the reason why the daughter-in-law didn't give you the money we earned a few times ago was because she wanted to cover the mountain, and there wasn't much left, and now the things we want to buy are basically all bought, and the money is in charge of you." Liu Meiniang said seriously.
"Mei Niang, you can keep the silver, you can rest assured that you will take care of this family."
Zhang Li forced the money into Liu Meiniang's arms.
"Mother......
"Obedient." Zhang Li touched Liu Meiniang's head.
A few people made money, and they were in a very good mood, so they wandered around the county for a while, bought some things before going back, and spent about a tael of silver.
Liu Meiniang secretly bought herself a piece of silk and was going to go back to sew a set of underwear for herself, she was really not used to wearing this underwear, especially the belly pocket.
By the way, he sewed a new set of clothes for everyone in the Zhang family.
