Chapter 6 Gu Family Garment Shop

By Gu Changlin's side, there had never been a woman in the past. She looked at her in surprise - she looked very good, and if it was really her daughter-in-law, it would be a happy event.

"Mother, she was a woman rescued by my son on the road, and I brought her back homeless." He held his mother's hand: "Will you stay with you?" ”

Seeing the situation, Su Wenmei walked up to the old lady, folded her hands on her waist, bent her head slightly, and saluted: "I've seen the old lady." ”

The old lady nodded, she was very satisfied with Su Wenmei. She ordered Rong to warm up the supper she prepared, which was regarded as a dust wash for her son and soldiers.

And Su Wenmei officially settled in the Gu family.

The Gu family used to be one of the best families in the capital, in addition to the Gu family's military contributions and countless rewards from the emperor; It also benefits from the Gujia Garment Shop.

The next day, Zhirong took Su Wenmei to visit the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop. The Gu family's ready-to-wear shop is not far away, just on the street next to the Gu Mansion.

However, over the years, with the death of Master Gu and the gradual thinning of the old lady's body, only a few slaves were left in the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop, and the business was gradually depressed. Even in many places in the store, a thick layer of dust has accumulated.

Su Wenmei took a look at the Gu family's ready-to-wear store, and then went to several other larger ready-to-wear stores to make a comparison.

In comparison, there are only a few subordinates in the Gujia Garment Shop, the texture of the clothing is single, and the pattern is still a popular style a few years ago; There are only a few ready-to-wear samples. Therefore, the business is naturally not as good as others.

There is a lot of competition among the other ready-to-wear stores. There are also small servants standing in front of the store, and whenever customers come, they will introduce their products in detail to them.

After that, Su Wenmei soaked in the ready-to-wear store during the day, doing some cleaning, designing patterns and other work. The Gu family's ready-to-wear shop is very large, and there is an attic on it, which is not easy to sprinkle and sweep, so there is dust everywhere. Mrs. Gu saw that she was so attentive to the garment store and loved her in her heart, so at her request, she boldly handed over the ready-to-wear store to her to take care of.

She has been very busy these days, from the procurement of clothing samples to the recruitment of top garment masters, she and a few grandmothers are doing it. But although she is very busy, it is much better than being in the Gu Mansion and dealing with General Gu who hates her all day long.

On this day, the street was bustling, the Gu family clothing shop beat gongs and drums, and a small guy shouted at the pedestrians coming and going on the street outside the Gu family's clothing store: "The Gu family clothing store has launched a new style of clothing!" Buy and get jewelry in a raffle! Behind him, the four Gu maids were wearing newly designed clothes, standing in a row, showing the guests.

It was early spring, and the chill of winter had not yet passed. In addition to the regular Hanfu clothing, she also added animal skin patterns, animal skin patterns are luxurious and warm, and Huihong people often wear animal skin clothes, which is also the inspiration she got from Huihong people. This is something that no other clothing store has.

Su Wenmei picked a good time to regroup, and when it was close to noon, there were the most people on the street, and it was another gong and drum beating, which naturally attracted a lot of people.

Just the bracelets and jewelry sent by the lottery were bought by Su Wenmei at the best jewelry store. There is also an additional business in the store: ready-to-wear can be made according to the customer's design.

The Gu family's ready-to-wear shop is once again famous.

This day was busier than ever, and Su Wenmei almost didn't have time to rest and drink saliva all day. General Gu passed by, and through the bustling crowd, he saw the busy people in the store from a distance, she was introducing ready-to-wear to customers, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her fair forehead because of her busyness.

She is busy here and outside, and she is so attentive to the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop, it doesn't seem like a meticulous work.

Is she running away from herself, so she stays in the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop all day long?

General Gu looked at her, but he was thinking of something else: the ancient black knife that Su Wenmei once gave him, the black iron inlaid with gold edges, was very sharp, it was a good knife, but it was a pity that he threw it away.

Su Wenmei felt the gaze of the crowd and looked up at General Gu: "General! ”

Gu Changlin ignored her and turned his head sideways and left.

Su Wenmei pursed her lips slightly: This General Gu has a really strange temperament.

After a busy day, after finishing the accounts and cleaning up the inventory in the store in the evening, it was almost late at night, and the number of people visiting the night market outside was gradually becoming scarce. She went back with a few Wu Ding and maids from the Gu Mansion, as well as Aunt Zhiyi.

Aunt Zhiyi, like Aunt Zhirong beside Old Madam Gu, is an old man in the Gu Mansion. In the past few days, the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop has been very busy, and there are many things to buy, and the old lady saw that she was too busy, so she called them over to help.

was walking on the way home, but Su Wenmei heard someone shouting "help".

Four or five gangster-looking men chased after a girl in front of her, who was dressed in coarse cloth and had a very simple hair ornament. She ran to Su Wenmei, held her hand and knelt down: "Girl, help me!" Please save me. She had some bruises on her wrists, and she was crying with a pleading look.

Su Wenmei took her hand and looked behind her. A few thugs behind the woman quickly caught up.

When she saw the bastard who took the lead, Su Wenmei only felt numb on the top of her head! Where don't we meet at the end of the world!

Isn't this the man who lied about leading the way and sold himself to the Qinglou that day? Her face is too familiar to her! She helped the woman up, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she only said two words: "Save her!" ”

Wu Ding of the Gu Mansion listened to the order, and without waiting for the men to approach, they picked up the bamboo poles, benches and other items on the side of the road one after another, and rushed up. They have been guarding the Gu Mansion all the year round, and under the influence of the Gu family, they can't see a group of big men bullying women.

Gu Fu was born in a martial arts family, and the family naturally had some real kung fu, and after a while, he knocked those men to the ground. Su Wenmei only felt happy when she looked at the scene in front of her.

* Zi's face was colored, and at this moment, he was trampled under the feet of a martial artist from the Gu Mansion and was begging for mercy.

Su Wenmei walked up to him, half-squatted down, turned her head sideways and looked at him with a smile, her big black grape-like eyes flashed a hint of cunning. She smiled and half-narrowed her eyes, a bit like a fox who was about to do something bad: "What a coincidence! ”

The man raised his head and saw Su Wenmei smiling brightly. Today, she is wrapped in light makeup, and she is indeed much better looking than the embarrassed appearance that day. But her smile always looked gloomy and sad in his eyes.

"Girl, girl! The little one has eyes and doesn't know Tarzan, and offends you! The * son recognized her, struggled with the situation, knelt down at her, and begged for mercy constantly: "Raise your noble hand and let go of the little horse!" ”

"Are you chasing this girl also to sell to the Full Moon Tower?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, then replied, "Yes...... Yes, her brother had a gambling debt and mortgaged her to me. ”

"Her brother owes gambling debts, so you go to her brother and embarrass a woman, what kind of ability is it?" Su Wenmei said: "You don't do less of such a thing!" ”

The * face wanted to say something, but he was tied up by the Gu Mansion's family, put a sack on his head, and threw it into the moat not far away. When the other bastards saw it, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Su Wenmei touched the woman's hand: "It's okay, you go home, be careful in the future." ”

She turned to leave, and the woman knelt down again: "Girl, thank you for saving your life, the little girl is willing to repay the girl for being a slave and a maid." ”

Slave or slave? She remembered the scene where she begged General Gu, and couldn't help but feel sympathy, but she couldn't help but ask: "You still have a brother who gambles?" ”

"I have a cousin who is a distant relative, but he owes a huge debt a few days ago, and he doesn't know where he is going for a long time." The woman nodded to the ground: "Bing'er is willing to cut off the past, just ask the girl to take it in!" ”

Su Wenmei hesitated for a moment: "It's late at night now, you are a woman, and you are lonely outside, so follow me back to the house for the time being." She helped her up.

Bing'er's wrist was a little seriously bruised, and there was a little frostbite, Su Wenmei couldn't help but feel a little more sympathetic when she saw it, so she personally found medicine and gave her medicine. By the time Zhiyi arranged a place for Bing'er, it was already late at night.

The next day, Su Wenmei explained the situation to Mrs. Gu, and took Bing'er to the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop. Mrs. Gu is kind-hearted and has always believed in Buddhism, so she is also very much in favor of Su Wenmei's late night rescue.

Bing'er is a real woman, and she surrounds Su Wenmei all day long and does what she can. Su Wenmei fell in love with her, and when she saw that she was wearing thin, she picked out a few sets of new clothes for her, and bought jewelry to let her dress neatly.

In Bing'er's eyes, if Su Wenmei hadn't come forward to save her that night, I'm afraid that she would have been sold to the Full Moon Tower, where could she still stand by Su Wenmei's side neatly and be a neat person?

Su Wenmei was holding scissors and talking to Bing'er about the pattern of the fabric, when a young man with a raw face came to her and handed over a gold bracelet: "Miss Su, the old lady of the Zhongwu Hou family is in the teahouse opposite, please go and drink tea." ”

The scissors in Su Wenmei's hand trembled, Zhongwu Hou's family?

She remembered that day on the grassland, General Gu was very surprised when he saw her. I know that I have some ties with the Zhongwu Hou family, even if it's just my appearance. She also blindly wanted to find the Zhongwu Marquis's house, but she was too busy these days, and she hadn't stopped since she entered the Gu family, so she didn't take time out.

But then again, what does a mere appearance say?

Unexpectedly, it was the Zhongwu Hou family who came over first. She put down the scissors: "I know, let's go." ”

Bing'er didn't worry about her alone, so she followed.

The teahouse was opposite the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop, and she followed the little maid to the private room of the old lady of Zhongwu Hou, in addition to the gray-haired old lady in the private room, there was also a richly dressed woman, as well as a few maids who were waiting.

Su Wenmei walked up to the old lady, folded her hands, and saluted the old lady. When she looked up again, she saw Mrs. Su looking at her with tears in her eyes.

The old lady's hand trembled and touched her face: "You are also surnamed Su?" Your name is Su Wenmei? ”

"Yes."

"Do you know how much you resemble my good dead daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Su choked up: "If my granddaughter hadn't died, she would be so old!" ”
