Chapter 003: Be careful
After returning home, Fu Yuanyuan remembered what Shen told him and instructed: "Jade, go and inform the stewards of the Zhuangzi of each shop, and come to the house in the afternoon to discuss important matters." ”
Since it is impossible to avoid returning to the capital, there are really a lot of arrangements to be made in a hurry, Fu Yuanyuan said while thinking: "Yinbao, you go to find Ai Niangzi from Nishang Building to come over." ”
"Liuli, go and bring me the pair of foreheads I started embroidering years ago."
The three maids took the order and left.
Fu Yuanyuan has a total of four big maids, namely jade, glass, coral and silver treasure.
Jade and Liuli are both fifteen years old, the oldest, and they do things steadily and properly, which reassures the Shen family the most.
Coral is the youngest, lively and intelligent.
Yinbao has a good temperament, but he is strong in martial arts, and he has followed the medical skills of divine medicine, and has followed Fu Yuanyuan to walk the rivers and lakes to do business all year round.
"Girl," Liuli came with a purple wooden box in her hand, put it on the table, lifted the box, took out a delicate forehead wipe and asked, "But this pair of forehead wipes you are talking about?" ”
Fu Yuan's round jaw took it.
"Girl, this pair of begonia silver-edged smoke-purple satin forehead is really beautiful, especially the petals of these two begonia flowers are delicate, as if they are real." Coral had curiosity and admiration on her round face, "The old lady will be happy if she sees it." ”
Liuli hesitated: "Girl, although this forehead is beautiful, but the color of the begonia flowers is so delicate, will the old lady not like it?" ”
Older women usually use calm colors such as black and blue, dark green, and deep purple, and even if they embroider flowers, they will choose less bright colors such as light purple and light red.
Fu Yuanyuan personally embroidered this pair of foreheads, the petals of begonia flowers are lifelike, just like the most dazzling one blooming in the spring flower field.
It's good-looking, but I'm afraid that the old lady will be displeased when she sees it.
As a maidservant, Liuli shouldn't have been guilty of talking like this, but she was worried that her girl would be hung up in the end after spending a lot of effort, so she still couldn't help but remind her softly.
"You'd be wrong."
Fu Yuanyuan was not annoyed at all, and stroked the begonia flowers on the satin surface of his forehead with a smile: "People say that they are old and pretty." The older I get, the more I like delicate colors. ”
Although the original owner's ability to tear is too weak, his observation ability is excellent.
Through the memory of the original owner, Fu Yuanyuan knew that the old lady of the Pingguo Mansion, that is, her grandmother, actually quietly touched the brightness of the begonia flowers.
Isn't the courtyard where the grandmother of the average person lives called Shou'antang and Songheju?
The courtyard where the old lady lives is called Begonia House!
From this, I think that the old lady is just embarrassed to let everyone know that she loves pretty!
As for embroidering the forehead, it was not difficult for her, who was a fashion designer in her previous life, but she was so busy that it took several months to complete the forehead.
Fu Yuanyuan asked Liuli to put away the forehead, and told her to take the forehead back to the capital, so he got up and went to the study.
Coral took the tea and snacks to the study, and after setting them up, he polished the ink for Fu Yuanyuan: "Girl, wasn't the style of the new season of Nishang Building drawn a few days ago?" Why do you want to draw a new style? ”
Fu Yuanyuan hooked his lips: "Ten styles have been designed for the new season, which is enough in Yangzhou City." But since Nishang Lou is going to move to the capital, there are slightly fewer than ten. ”
"Every quarter, the ladies of the capital will send stewards to our Nishang Building to customize clothes," Coral nodded suddenly, "Nishang Lou moved to the capital, I'm afraid there will be more noblewomen coming here, no wonder the girl said that the style is not enough." ”
"Isn't that it?"
Fu Yuanyuan drew the pattern intently, and answered casually.
As a fashion designer, he has lived in the modern era with rich information for more than 20 years, and Fu Yuanyuan has countless clothing styles in his mind.
For her, design style is nothing more than a blend of ancient and modern styles, with ancient clothing styles as the mainstay, supplemented by modern design ingenuity, to produce clothes that are sought after by the world.
When she opened the Nishang Building, her idea was high-end customization.
Only for the noble ladies and nobles to do customization, the style is novel and refined, the embroidery is exquisite, and the price is also expensive.
After two years of operation, Nishang Building has not only created a world in Yangzhou City, but also is very popular with the ladies of the capital.
Although for a family like the Shen family, it is just a business the size of a grain of rice, but it is her favorite.
Half an hour later, two new styles were designed.
Yinbao lifted the curtain and entered: "Girl, Ai Niangzi is here." ”
"Please let her in."
Ai Niangzi is a woman about thirty years old, she is a standard Jiangnan water town woman looks, gentle and graceful face, with a pair of kind eyes.
If you are not careful, it is difficult to find the shrewdness under the eyes of Heshanshuang.
She is the chief steward of the Nishang Building personally selected by Fu Yuanyuan.
Fu Yuanyuan's plan to move Ni Shang Lou and Ni Yun Xuan to the capital was revealed, Ai Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and did not ask the reason, so she began to think about what to do.
"Divide the team into two," Fu Yuanyuan said, "The main team will move to the capital, and the rest of the team will continue to stay in Yangzhou City." ”
Ai Niangzi raised her eyes: "Master, but what does it mean to make Yangzhou City a branch?" ”
"That's right."
Yangzhou City is her foundation, and Ni Shang Lou and Ni Yun Xuan have a large customer base here, so she naturally will not give up.
The capital is a new journey.
"After I go to the capital and choose a place to live," Fu Yuanyuan continued, "you will take the main team to the capital again, and this will be arranged for this time." ”
Fu Yuanyuan talked about the plan in detail, Ai Niangzi listened carefully, and did not shy away from asking in detail about the unclear places, and finally smiled: "Ai Niang will live up to the master's trust and will handle this matter well." ”
"This is the style of the new season," Fu Yuanyuan was convinced of Ai Niangzi's ability and handed her the drawings, "Before going to the capital, you must give priority to making it." ”
Outside the city of Yangzhou.
Two horses galloped from afar on the official road, and on the seats were Qin Ze and An Shun.
"Master," An Shun sighed, "We came from the capital to deliver a letter to Old Man Shen, and we learned the news of Tu Qingqiaoniang, I thought it was God's will, but I didn't know that they let them run away again." ”
"At least I've seen people," Qin Ze was already relieved after galloping all the way, "Let the secret guards keep an eye on it, it will definitely appear again." ”
An Shun hurriedly responded: "What the master said is true. ”
"Where do you think the men in black came from today?"
Qin Ze asked lightly, looking into the distance.
"Small guess, I'm afraid there are two possibilities."
"Say."
"First, they came specifically to hunt us down," An Shun said, "and besides, the small suspicions are also here for Tu Qing." ”
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes: "Or, both." ”
Four years ago, he came to Yangzhou and was hunted down by an assassination organization.
And that night, after the assassination organization killed almost half of his personal guards, he was completely annihilated.
After many investigations, Tu Qing was the deputy leader of the organization, but did not participate in the assassination.
To find out the truth about that assassination, Tu Qing may be the only person still alive in the know.
It's a pity that it's a step late.
"Master, the little boy who annihilated the assassination organization back then, I don't know if he is still in Yangzhou City?" An Shun looked at Qin Ze and guessed what he was thinking, "That little boy looked only about ten years old back then, but his kung fu was unfathomable, and he was really powerful. ”
