"Brother Hu, try my lady's craftsmanship, I guarantee that you will be full of praise after eating!" Li Jinyan kept picking up vegetables for Brother Hu, Xia Sihan smiled, this Brother Jin is really not polite at all!

"Brother Hu, dare to ask your name? Jin Yan talks about you every time he comes back, and we don't know what to call you! Xia Sihan asked generously.

The man on the other side patted his head, smiled and said, "Oh, look at my stupid brain, I only care about eating vegetables!" My name is Hu Yifei, a person from the capital, five years older than Jin Yan, and I am his eldest brother. ”

"In this way, his original name is Hu Yifei, and he is a bright and tired person." Xia Sihan thought in his heart, and hurriedly pointed to the fish soup and said, "Big brother tasted this fish soup and stewed it all morning." ”

Xia Sihan's craftsmanship is not to be said, Hu Yifei thought that he had never eaten any delicious food in the capital for so many years, but after eating Xia Sihan's dishes today, he felt that it was extremely delicious, compared to the prosperous restaurants frequented by wealthy nobles, it was not inferior at all. This meal made him envious of Li Jinyan, he had a good wife in the family, and he would definitely get better and better in the future.

After being full of wine and food, Hu Yifei and Li Jinyan expressed their views. According to what Jin Yan said yesterday, he can help introduce this embroidery girl, and they are all reliable people. As for the fabric, if you are too troublesome, you can get the goods directly from the cloth village, and he also introduced two reliable shops.

In this way, Xia Sihan only needs to prepare everything that should be prepared. Hearing this, Xia Sihan's heart was completely calm, and even so, there was no problem with the opening of her store. But she didn't need too many people at first, just two.

Knowing what Xia Sihan meant, Hu Yifei said that there was no problem, and left with Li Jinyan after drinking a cup of tea.

Xia Sihan began to prepare cloth and embroidery thread. This time, she went out alone, and Mother Li was guarding at home, also to avoid meeting with the people of Ning Wangfu again.

Xia Sihan knew that her mother-in-law was worried, so she deliberately covered her face with a veil when she went out, revealing only a pair of eyes, so it didn't hurt to be seen.

According to Hu Yifei, the largest garment shop in the capital is Lingyun Pavilion, but there are only two cloth villages with the best reputation, one is called Jinxiu Cloth Village, and the other is Wu Ji Cloth Village. The two cloth villages are next to each other, and the doors are like a market.

Xia Sihan realized that Hu Yifei was not exaggerating, and the business of this cloth village was really good. Since she only made wedding dresses, she asked for the red cloth. She carefully selected the fabric, and after thinking about it several times, she still chose the splendid cloth village and bought all the red cloth.

Xia Sihan's generosity alarmed the shopkeeper here. Seeing him looking at him suspiciously, Xia Sihan did not hide it, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, do you still have this red fabric in Guizhuang?" I want them all. ”

"All wants? You're not kidding, are you? ”

"Of course not, I specialize in wedding dresses, just red. If you have it here, I'll take it all. ”

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, but it will take a few days to arrive." If the little lady is not in a hurry, she will come to check again in three days, but I don't know where your store is, I can send someone to send it. ”

"So very good, it is in the city of Sijin clothing, diagonally opposite is Tianxiang Building."

Xia Sihan took down the two pieces of cloth in the store, and then negotiated with the shopkeeper to add three more red cloths, which were delivered in three days, and left after paying the deposit.

The shopkeeper looked at her back and couldn't help sighing, "Wedding dress, how can you make wedding dresses this year?" I'm still too young! ”

As everyone knows, Xia Sihan just wants to use the wedding dress as a stepping stone to open the doors of those high-ranking families, so that her plan can be realized.

Seeing that Xia Sihan bought back so many fabrics, Mother Li was also startled, but in the end, she was going to open a store, and it must be right to be fully prepared.

Coupled with the silk thread needed, this afternoon, Xia Sihan spent eighty taels of silver. Although it is not much, compared with Lijia Village, the speed of spending money is really much faster.

After simply arranging the shop, she found someone to make a signboard, and the tables and chairs were all newly bought. When Li Jinyan came back, he saw that the inside of the shop had been cleaned, and the tables, chairs, and wardrobes were all available.

"It's just a signboard, I'll take the time to make another wedding dress in the past few days, and let them start immediately when the embroidery lady comes." Xia Sihan excitedly pulled Li Jinyan around to see her results, but Li Jinyan took her hands and looked at them carefully. Ten fingers are red, and there are a few small blisters in the palms of the hands.

"Sihan, just let me do these things, look at your hands!"

Li Jinyan's suddenly raised voice startled Xia Sihan, but when he came back to his senses and found that he was like this because he was worried about himself, Xia Sihan's heart warmed.

"I promise you, I'll let you come next time, but do you think I'm doing well?"

Looking at Xia Sihan's little face, Li Jinyan's pretended angry face couldn't hold back anymore, so he could only helplessly hug her shoulders and give her a thumbs up: "My lady is the most powerful!" ”

Xia Sihan pursed his lips and smiled, and carefully inspected the front and back of the shop with Li Jinyan, before closing the door and returning to the back.

Now I am waiting for the cloth to be delivered by the splendid cloth village in three days. The embroiderer will come tomorrow, and Xia Sihan will let them embroider it in pieces and then sew it, so that the speed is faster. As for the others, they are from other places, so they should not be too high-profile at first, and if the business is good and they have established themselves, they don't need to pay attention to these things.

Xia Sihan considered all aspects and planned to set off some firecrackers on the opening day and make some small snacks to distribute to the neighbors. Raise your hand and don't hit the smiling people, not to mention that they are still outsiders without any background.

Xia Sihan frowned when she thought of this, in her previous life, in order to help Murong Yu, she didn't put much effort into it. Although she knows those high-ranking officials and dignitaries well, it is not easy to get close to them now.

Let's start with the wedding dress. If I remember correctly, in two months it will be the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, and their family only has one daughter, and when she got married in her previous life, the eldest lady was ten miles of red makeup, and the wedding dress was inlaid with Nanzhu. It's expensive, but it's not necessarily pretty.

Xia Sihan thought secretly in his heart. This time, the wedding dress of the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion belongs to her, and she will definitely make a splash with this wedding dress! Two months, enough for her to start.

Xia Sihan hurriedly straightened up from Li Jinyan's arms, lowered his head and asked, "When are you resting?" Can you come with me to buy some gold thread? ”

Buying the line was an excuse, she just wanted to take the opportunity to find out the news of Shangshufu. That day, I heard that Xia Yingxue was going to marry Murong Yu, although the holy decree had not been issued, it was not groundless, otherwise it would not have attracted discussion.

Li Jinyan thought for a moment and said, "Once in seven days, it's still early." If you are in a hurry, let your mother go with you. ”

Xia Sihan nodded, now it is a little difficult to let her mother-in-law go out, it seems that she is the only one who goes out by herself. If he appeared alone, would he be calculated by that cheap father, after all, he had cheated him for five thousand taels and stayed in the capital.
