Chapter 347: Ritual
The days pass quickly, when the first month is out, it will be Daiyu's birthday again, she will be ten years old this year, Xing Shuang called her and asked, do you want to invite the official ladies of various provinces to come and celebrate her.
Daiyu smiled when she heard this: "I only celebrated my birthday last year, and my aunt did it again, wouldn't it make the sisters blush?" ”
Tanchun listened to it and smiled: "Who wants to be jealous of you?" I am jealous of all the New Year's gifts that your father sent you, why don't you see you giving them to me? ”
Yingchun and Xichun laughed on the side, and in the New Year's gift sent by Suilin's family, there were several excellent inkstones, and Daiyu sent one to each other, and the angry Tanchun smacked his tongue again and again, saying that Brother Jin and Brother Huan had just enlightened, and it was ruined with such a good inkstone, so it was better to leave it to her.
It's the New Year's Eve now, and she still can't forget it?
Xing Shuang only felt funny when she heard it, poked her daughter's forehead with her hand, and said angrily: "You! ”
Then she turned back to Daiyu and said, "Last year was when you were out of filial piety, and you should have been officially introduced into this circle." In previous years, when you were young, and your mother was out of town, your sisters all had this experience, but you didn't know it.
"You are ten years old this year, and you should be the age of co-authoring. If I don't do it for you, I only say that I don't have you as a nephew and daughter in my heart. ”
When Daiyu heard this, she didn't embarrass her aunt, so she agreed.
As she was talking, Wang Xifeng came in from outside, and the girls surrounded her when they saw her.
Wang Xifeng smiled and was hugged by a group of sisters-in-law, and finally found an opportunity to interject, and hurriedly said: "Girls, let me salute my wife and come again." ”
The girls stopped at this time, and listened to Xing Shuang again: "You can go back after you ask for peace, I'm going to be busy here." ”
Yingchun hurriedly took his sisters to retire, and as soon as they left, Wang Xifeng said to Xing Shuang: "It's all out of the New Year, can't my class be opened?" ”
Xing Shuang smiled: "Naturally, it's going to be opened, but it's just the things I asked you to prepare, how are you preparing?" ”
Wang Xifeng hurriedly called out, and a little maid came into the house with a tray, covered with red silk cloth.
She stepped forward to uncover the red silk, and inside it was a handbag with Chinese patterns, which after the transformation, such a handbag also matched the Chinese clothing. And the metal fittings on the top are all replaced with purple bamboo, after polishing, the unique color is revealed, and it looks more extravagant.
Xing Shuang liked it very much when she saw it, and hurriedly shouted, "Bring it to me and take a look." ”
Wang Xifeng stepped forward with a smile, took the handbag to Xing Shuang, and said: "This one is taken when I attend the banquet on weekdays, it is a little bigger, and it can put a rouge and those things that are rewarded on weekdays."
"This one is used when I go out to play, and I think that those wives have maids to follow me on weekdays, so I only made it the size of a few broken silver."
Xing Shuang nodded again and again, picked it up one by one and looked at it again and again, and the heart is worthy of our own style, that is, it is much better than the Western style, and it also has a background.
"Excellent, is it difficult for you to learn?"
So this wasn't meant to be sold?
Wang Xifeng replied with a smile: "It's not difficult to say, but if you ask them to think about it themselves, it must be incomprehensible." This is different from ordinary female celebrities, and you have to use the skills of Western cobblers.
"In addition to this, there are also those that wrap all the hand-held parts with materials, which is even more labor-intensive. I thought it would be easiest to make it first, and if the wives were willing to learn, I would teach it first. If they are tired and afraid of hurting their hands, then we will take them to the shop as an add-on. ”
Xing Shuang looked at Bao and said: "It's a pity to be a head, if they don't learn, I will go to Jiangnan to buy ten embroidery girls and come back, and I will give you a hand, and you will teach them again, let them do more, and sell them directly in the shop." ”
Wang Xifeng clasped his palms together and smiled: "That's really good, I'm afraid that my mother won't like the scale of this small workshop." ”
Xing Shuang doesn't look down on small workshops, in this era, where is not a small workshop? Those famous embroidery bureaus in the south of the Yangtze River are actually workshops. In the industrial era of workshops, you can't find a big business if you want to find it.
But which of those big international brands didn't start from a small workshop? Xing Shuang has the heart to make a name for Sister Feng, and this step is a must.
"Also, remember to put up your signboard before the course starts in the next year." Xing Shuang instructed again: "Can the plaque be done?" ”
Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled: "I sent it just after the Shangyuan Festival, and I was about to call someone to hang it up." If my mother is free at this time, why don't you go and see it together? ”
When Xing Shuang heard this, she got up and followed Sister Feng over, there was a hugging house behind the side courtyard where Jia Lian's family lived, and Sister Feng cleaned it out since she started her class, and used it to receive those official wives on weekdays.
Now it is lively in front of Xiamen, and a bunch of small people are gathered, and they are about to hang the plaque covered with red silk.
Wang Xifeng took Xing Shuang over and called a stop. Wang Xifeng personally stepped forward to open the red silk to show Xing Shuang, and there were a few big words written on it, "Xilian Design".
This name was still thought up by Xing Shuang and Wang Xifeng, and the Western character was taken from the homonym of Wang Xifeng's Xi, and Wang Xifeng insisted on adding her husband's name, so she took Lian's agreement, which added up to this Xilian design.
Xing Shuang nodded with satisfaction, asked people to continue to hang the plaque, and instructed Wang Xifeng: "Don't uncover the silk cloth at this time, you should also hold a serious ceremony." ”
Wang Xifeng asked with a smile: "Is it difficult to beat gongs and drums, please come and play a lion?" ”
Xing Shuang was amused when she heard this, pointed at her and smiled: "Quickly accept your idea, play a lion here, I'm afraid that the old lady will take you for blame." ”
Wang Xifeng was joking, but now that she saw her mother-in-law, she also smiled and said, "Then what kind of ceremony should I do, my mother will tell me?" ”
Xing Shuang said: "I always heard the master say that if the Western ship is built, there will be a launching ceremony, and people will hold ribbons to surround the boat." When you go into the water, cut the ribbon and push the boat into the water? ”
Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "That's right, is my mother following this practice?" ”
Xing Shuang said again: "It's just that the ribbon is enclosed, and your hugging house is too big, so you only let people hold a red silk at both ends, and then you take scissors to cut the red silk to show that the official opening of the door is not better?" ”
Wang Xifeng only thought that this idea was good, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare the red silk used in the ceremony, and asked Xing Shuang what the ceremony was called.
Xing Shuang said with a smile: "It's not just cutting the ribbon to show that you want to open the door, but also asking for a lottery, so it's going to be called a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the near future, right?" ”
Wang Xifeng smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Ribbon cutting? This name is really considerate, then I asked my mother to cut the ribbon for me that day, and my mother can never shirk it! ”
