Chapter 181: Models
That night, Helian Sheng came to Song Yao's room by moonlight, naturally because of the arson.
With Helian Sheng out of the horse, Song Yao didn't bother to care about this matter anymore, as long as the purpose of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger was achieved, so that those people could understand that she Song Yao could not be bullied at will.
And Song Yao's only request was for Helian Sheng to remember to tell the outcome of the incident.
It is not only necessary to know the price paid by the enemy, but also to know who to watch out for in the future, lest they be harmed.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Helian Sheng's eyes were cold.
Although those people just wanted to destroy the painting and did not mean to hurt Song Yao, they still made Helian Sheng kill.
You must know that the queen gave Song Yao a decree, as long as Song Yao did not complete the painting, no one dared to guarantee what the consequences would be.
Although Helian Sheng will not let the queen hurt Song Yao, Song Yao will definitely become a thorn in the queen's side, and there will be constant trouble from then on.
"This matter, speaking of which, is also a trouble caused by the queen, you don't have to act too much, let the queen take the lead first." Song Yao hooked the corners of her lips and said with a wicked smile: "I prefer to take advantage of the fisherman rather than retaliate head-on." ”
"As long as Yaoyao likes it, there's nothing to do." Helian Sheng chuckled.
If it weren't for that, Helian Sheng would not have spent money to hire people to set up an ambush on the way back to the palace in Pingxue.
Those people wanted to destroy the painting, but unfortunately the people who sent it out were really useless.
However, Helian Sheng spent a lot of money to hire a group of people, which not only made the queen more ruthless to the person who attacked him, but also practiced for his own people.
Those secret guards have been by Song Yao's side for a long time, and they seem to be used to a comfortable life, forgetting how to survive in the blood as a secret guard.
"I'm tired after a day of tossing, can you wait until I'm asleep before leaving?" Song Yao nestled in Helian Sheng's arms and yawned.
"Okay." He Liansheng nodded, dropped a kiss on Song Yao's forehead, and said softly: "Sleep in peace, everything is with me." ”
"Hmm." Song Yao nodded, and soon fell asleep.
The construction of Beicheng had been carried out according to the original plan, but Song Yao did not go to Beicheng to check.
The silver tickets sent from all over the country were enough for Song Yao to prepare to decorate and prepare for the opening of the shops she bought.
But in order to keep the progress of Beicheng, Song Yao didn't want to disperse too much manpower and material resources, so she only chose to let three shops open, and the others were temporarily rented out, and they would open one after another a year.
The reason why she did this was that Song Yao wanted to wait for the things on Caoyun's side to be arranged before deciding what other shops were going to do to make a living.
The things at home are properly arranged, and Song Yao is naturally really free.
In two or three days, she was going to enter the palace, so Song Yao asked Keren to prepare a gift and prepare to see Hu Jiayue.
Song Yuanbao grinded Song Yao and fried the hot pot base, and wanted to feast his good friends in the capital, Song Yao relied on Song Yuanbao.
When Song Yuanbao invited his friends to a banquet, Song Yao went to Xia Mansion.
came to the door again, after Song Yao reported her identity, the porter immediately invited people in, and trotted to deliver a message to Hu Jiayue, which shows Hu Jiayue's status in the mansion now.
"My sister is finally here, last time my sister was in a hurry, Jiayue forgot to ask for the address, and I couldn't go to see my sister." Hu Jiayue responded with a smile, took Song Yao's hand and walked towards his yard.
Although Hu Jiayue is now the master of the house, she still feels that in her small yard is her territory.
"It was my sister's negligence, but I forgot about this." Song Yao smiled apologetically, and motioned to Keren to prepare a post for Hu Jiayue, "When you come to the capital, you have to learn to follow the customs." But I rarely go out on weekdays, and this post is only for this one. ”
"In this way, it is my sister's honor." Hu Jiayue smiled and handed the post to Xiaolian, asked her to keep it, and smiled at Song Yao: "Sister, I'm going to eat today and then go back, I don't know when the two sisters will meet again." ”
Hu Jiayue knew that Song Yao was busy, so she didn't expect to be able to get together with her again before Song Yao left Beijing.
"I'll come to see you before I leave." Song Yao knew what Hu Jiayue was thinking, and she didn't miss the loneliness in her eyes, she patted her hand with a smile and said, "You, you have to learn to relax." Although the people of this capital are not as simple as those in Hongyuan County, as long as you work hard, you can always make one or two confidants. ”
"It's easier said than done." Hu Jiayue smiled bitterly, "Sister doesn't know, these ladies and ladies in the capital, all of them are above the top, and they feel that they are superior when they are born in the capital." Coming from a small family like me, they don't look down on it at all. ”
"You're talking about those official wives or official ladies, right?" Song Yao asked.
"I don't have access to anyone other than these people." Hu Jiayue nodded.
"Take your time, there's always a chance." Song Yao understands that the existence of hierarchy is indeed an insurmountable obstacle, but she believes that she will see people's hearts over time.
"Let it be." Hu Jiayue can see this, "Although I don't have a confidant, there is no shortage of people who talk on weekdays." There are many banquets in this capital, and I always have to socialize, but I don't like that kind of occasion very much, except for talking about clothes and jewelry, there is no other topic at all. I've heard those rumors, forget it, where can it really be mixed. ”
Song Yao's eyes rolled, she suddenly stopped, and said with a smile: "Jiayue, do you want to save more private money?" ”
"What do you mean, sister?" Hu Jiayue looked at Song Yao inexplicably, but still nodded affirmatively: "I have always remembered my sister's words, how bulging a woman's waist is, how hard her confidence is, and she wants to make more money." But my dowry, except for the Zhuangzi given to me by my sister, did not produce anything. I want to buy a shop and eat some rent, but ......"
Hu Jiayue was really embarrassed to say the words shyness.
Song Yao gave Hu Jiayue silver, that is, if those dowry things were sold, it would be a lot of silver, but Hu Jiayue was reluctant.
That was Song Yao's heart for her, unless it was a last resort, Hu Jiayue didn't want to use it.
"Let's go, let's go inside." There were still a few steps left to reach the flower hall of Hu Jiayue's courtyard, and Song Yao took Hu Jiayue's hand and walked forward, forgetting that she was a guest.
Hu Jiayue didn't care, but was very interested in Song Yao's words.
After all, Song Yao's business is getting bigger and bigger, whether it is with the help of nobles or not, if Song Yao gives her a good idea, is she afraid that there will be no money to make?
For Song Yao, Hu Jiayue is grateful in addition to admiration, but in addition to relying on Song Yao, Hu Jiayue really doesn't know who else to count on.
After entering the house, the two sisters sat down next to each other, and Song Yao went straight to the topic and said: "I have just opened a few shops, including the silk and satin that was transported from the south, as well as ready-to-wear shops and jewelry shops, some of which I designed myself. Of course, there are also some restaurants and the like. All in all, most of them earn women's silver, but the consumption is medium and high-end. ”
"Then congratulations to my sister, being able to open such a shop in the capital will definitely make money every day." Hu Jiayue sincerely congratulated.
Although Hu Jiayue also knew that it was not easy to gain a foothold in the capital, since Song Yao said so, she must have been prepared for a long time and would not be afraid of those external resistances.
"I'm also in preparation, and I haven't officially opened yet, and it's almost the same as burning silver." Song Yao hooked the corners of her lips, pulled back to the topic, and said, "Since you often attend banquets, why don't you be my model." ”
"Models?" Hu Jiayue didn't understand what this meant.
"That's ......" Song Yao patted her head, explained the meaning of the model, and said to Hu Jiayue: "As long as it is a guest you introduce, I will give you a commission of 30%, and I will give these guests a discount." In this way, I can expand the market faster, and you can also get in touch with more people, save some money in the future, or open a store by yourself, are you afraid of no silver? ”
"The help for my sister is, where can I earn my sister's money?" Hu Jiayue immediately shook her head and said: "There are new clothes to wear every day, and the jewelry is worn without spending money, and others can't ask for such benefits." Besides, if it is really as my sister said, it can let me enter the circle of the capital faster, my sister has helped me a lot, and I want to thank my sister too late. ”
"We are mutually beneficial, since we want to do things, of course, we must follow the rules." Song Yao habitually tapped her fingers on the table and said with a smile: "If you think the commission is too troublesome, then settle the bill on a monthly basis." Every time you do publicity, I will give you a hundred taels of silver, this time you don't have to shirk it anymore, otherwise you won't treat me as a sister. ”
Hu Jiayue's refusal was stuck in her throat, so she had to smile and respond.
Thinking in her heart, a party of one hundred taels of silver would take advantage of Song Yao, and she would be a little bit more likely to say more.
However, for Hu Jiayue, it is easy to earn a few hundred taels or thousands of taels a month, this income is not expensive, it is a shop with a good location, and the rent for a month is at most two or three thousand taels.
But what Song Yao thought was that when the time came, Hu Jiayue's clothes and jewelry would be given to her, and it would not be a disadvantage to Hu Jiayue.
The sisters have their own thoughts, but they are both thinking about each other, and the matter is happily finalized.
After having lunch in the Xia Mansion, Song Yao left.
Even if Hu Jiayue was reluctant, she was embarrassed to keep anyone, Song Yao said that she would invite her over as a guest before leaving, and she was also looking forward to meeting next time.
When he left the Xia Mansion, Song Yao's mind was lively.
Even if Hu Jiayue can be a walking model, she is only in the mid-range consumer group, and it is impossible to reach a higher level.
And Song Yao didn't know many people in the capital, and he was about to enter the palace, so he didn't have much time to attend those parties.
So high-end consumer groups, it seems that only Mrs. Cui is the most suitable.
But Mrs. Cui was born in the Yun family, not to mention her own dowry, and her business is also doing very well, but it is not bad for that little money, if you want Mrs. Cui to do publicity for herself, and it is not harmful to Mrs. Cui's interests, she still needs to operate it well.
When Song Yao returned to the house, the little young masters had not yet left.
In order not to disturb the interest of these children, Song Yao didn't mean to bother, but called Red Sleeves.
"Seeing that Madame's interest is so good, I think Miss Hu is really guarding the clouds and seeing the moon now." Seeing Song Yao's expression, Red Sleeves smiled.
"yes." Song Yao nodded, happy for Hu Jiayue, but she didn't plan to say anything, after all, Red Sleeves and Hu Jiayue were not familiar with each other, so she asked, "Are all the masks you prepared ready?" ”
Although Song Yao has the heart to make some handmade skin care products, she has never poured out her efforts.
And there are only a few things that Song Yao will do, and it will not work to specialize in this business.
