Chapter 20 Ancient Customization
Three days later, the Splendid Pavilion opened.
Because of King Rui's face, naturally there are many official ladies who come to cheer. Originally, it was just for King Rui, but when I entered the store and saw beautiful clothes that were completely different from usual, the faces of those eldest ladies showed a look of surprise.
Since ancient times, women have loved beauty, not to mention that these women are all official ladies from similar backgrounds, so they naturally hope to be better than others in terms of appearance and clothing to show themselves.
For a time, the three ready-to-wear clothes that hung out were scrambling for many noble ladies and ladies.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, these clothes are not sold today." ”
A woman wearing an apricot dress with a charming face, when she heard the shopkeeper's words, her willow eyebrows rose: "Shopkeeper, are you kidding us?" In this shop, the clothes are hung up, but they are not sold, are you afraid that we will not be able to afford the silver? ”
Hearing the words of the woman in the apricot dress, several young ladies around her also had angry looks on their faces.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with a smile: "This young lady is laughing, how dare I make fun of all the young ladies." ”
Saying that, the shopkeeper explained with a bitter face: "Everyone doesn't know, although these clothes are good-looking, but it is not easy to make, therefore, an embroidery girl can make three ordinary clothes a day, but this one takes three days to make one." ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, several women not only did not give up, but their eyes brightened a little. If so, it will make this dress even more precious.
"If that's the case, then why don't you sell this dress, I'll just pay a higher price." A woman in pink clothes couldn't help but speak out when she heard the shopkeeper's words.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "These three clothes are all hung here, if the ladies like it, they can be ordered in advance." However, only ten pieces can be ordered this month. ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, the ladies in the shop all showed happy expressions on their faces. Customization has been requested.
The shopkeeper asked the guys in the store to record all the people they needed, and they all smiled from ear to ear.
Just when the shopkeeper secretly sighed in his heart that this Rui Wang concubine was a good method, he heard a voice say: "This dress is not bad, Miss Ben wants it." ”
The shopkeeper was shocked, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a woman with a delicate face who was talking in the capital, and she naturally had a little eyesight, and the shopkeeper naturally recognized at a glance that it was Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion who spoke.
Ning Shishi didn't originally want to cheer for Li Yiyan, because she was going to enter the palace as a concubine soon, and she couldn't please a prince.
It's just that when she heard that this Splendid Pavilion was opened by Ning Yunxuan, she was a little interested.
At the dinner that day, she originally wanted to make Ning Yunxuan ugly to set off herself, but she didn't expect that Ning Yunxuan's performance that day was beyond her expectations. Not only did Ning Yunyu not make a fool of herself, but she was even more eye-catching than her!
Therefore, Ning Shishi wanted to see what trick Ning Yunyu was playing.
It was only when Ning Shishi walked into the store that she was attracted by the skirt that hung out. In particular, the long red dress in the middle is bright in color, and it is not like the flowing design of ordinary skirts.
The skirt was not very ornamental, but when it passed the waist, the hem of the skirt did not spread out like a normal skirt, but slipped down against the legs.
Just by looking at the skirt, you can know how to outline the lines that will be drawn when worn on a woman.
The shopkeeper looked at Ning Shishi and asked the guy to take down the group, and hurriedly said: "Miss Ning, this skirt is not for sale, if you like it, you can come here to write it down, and when it is available, I will send someone to send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
When Ning Shishi heard this, the corners of her lips hooked up with a mocking smile: "Not for sale? That's just right, and Miss Ben didn't plan to buy it. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But I heard Ning Shishi continue: "Since it is Ning Yunxuan's shop, then it should be given to Miss Ben." ”
The shopkeeper's face changed, he was a little embarrassed, and he was about to say something to stop him, but he saw Ning Shishi's apricot eyes: "Why, Ning Yunyu is a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this is her shop, so I, as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, can't I take a piece of her clothes?" ”
Seeing Ning Shishi like this, the shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to stop her, so she had to watch Ning Shishi take the long dress.
Although the young ladies present were dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything.
First, this Ning Shishi is indeed the only lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her natural identity is more expensive than them. Second, since the dinner that day, people with eyesight can naturally see that the relationship between Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion and today's saint is not ordinary, maybe one day Ning Shishi will be accepted into the palace and become a mother.
In the Rui Wang's Mansion, Li Yiyan, who was sitting in the study to deal with official business, heard everything about the Splendid Pavilion reported by the secret agent, and the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile.
Although he handed over the dyeing workshop and shop to Ning Yunxuan and did not intend to interfere, it did not mean that he did not care.
Thinking of the 100,000 taels that Ning Yunxuan said as the rent, Li Yiyan didn't believe it, a shop with a good income would have a monthly surplus of only 10,000 taels, but Ning Yunyu wanted to earn 100,000 taels in three months, which was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
But hearing the news brought by the secret agent, Li Yiyan fully believed that Ning Yunyu would be able to come up with 100,000 taels in three months.
The young ladies of the rich and noble families in this imperial city naturally love to compare, Ning Yunyu just caters to their tastes, and makes clothes that only rich people can afford, how can there be no reason not to make money.
Li Yiyan heard the secret agent finish speaking, nodded, and said, "You should continue to pay attention to the movements of the Splendid Pavilion." ”
Hearing Li Yiyan's words, the secret agent's face showed a look of hesitation, and then said, "Today, Miss Ning from the Prime Minister's Mansion has been to the Splendid Pavilion. ”
"Ning Shishi?" Li Yiyan frowned slightly, "She also went to buy clothes?" ”
The spy lowered his head and told Li Yiyan about Ning Shishi taking a piece of clothing in the Splendid Pavilion today.
But instead of being angry, Li Yiyan showed a rather playful smile on his face.
"This woman's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of, I'm afraid that Ning Shishi will soon pay the price for her actions." Li Yiyan smiled and said to the secret agent: "This king knows everything, you can go and watch." ”
The spy saluted and withdrew.
Thinking of the calculating light in Ning Yunyu's eyes, Li Yiyan himself also realized that the corners of his lips actually hooked up a smile.
In Biyun Pavilion, Ning Yunxuan frowned and listened to the situation reported by the guys from the Splendid Pavilion, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, originally she didn't plan to settle the old accounts with Ning Shishi, because those were not her after all.
But now this Ning Shishi is provoking her again and again, since this is the case, then she doesn't mind giving Ning Shishi some color to see.
It's just that, thinking of some things, Ning Yunyu's eyes rolled slightly, and he just said to the guy: "In that case, let's leave her alone for the time being, if she comes to get the clothes in the future, you can write down the price." ”
The man hurriedly answered, and then retreated.
Because of the costumes launched on the first day, the Splendid Pavilion won the favor of the eldest lady in the boudoir, and the statement quickly spread in the imperial city.
Originally, Ning Yunyu was still very worried that once the new clothing style was launched, there would be shops outside to imitate it, after all, there was no intention of rights protection in ancient times.
However, Splendid Pavilion has been launching a variety of clothing, and there is no imitation on the market, which makes Ning Yunyu breathe a sigh of relief.
Ning Yunxuan thought about it carefully, I am afraid that it is hindering Li Yiyan's face, after all, it is a business that does not compete with officials, but I didn't expect that this Li Yiyan's name is quite useful.
Perhaps because of these, Li Yiyan occasionally went to Biyun Pavilion to eat, but Ning Yunxuan was not as disdainful as before.
Seeing that the sky was slightly dark, Ning Yunyu sat at the table, drawing the clothes of the new season.
Although she is not a professional designer, after all, she has seen a lot in modern times, and it is enough to steal some of them at will.
When Li Yiyan arrived at Biyun Pavilion, he happened to see a woman thinking with a pen by the window.
At this time, Ning Yunxuan did not have the usual arrogance in his eyes, and he seemed a little quieter. The hair on the forehead hangs down, making the woman's fair side face more feminine. But the serious and confident light in his eyes is still so dazzling.
Such a Ning Yunyu actually made Li Yiyan stunned.
Originally, Yangmei was going to go in to report, but was blocked by Li Yiyan.
Li Yiyan just entered the room silently, sat at the table and drank tea, but his eyes always fell on Ning Yunyu by the window.
It wasn't until she finished drawing all the drawings that Ning Yunyu found Li Yiyan in the house, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, maybe it was because the life of this palace was too comfortable, and she didn't pay attention to the movements around her at all.
Ning Yunxuan's gaze fell on Li Yiyan, but he was not in a hurry to luggage, he just raised his chin and said hello: "Lord Wang, you have come to my Biyun Pavilion to eat again." ”
Although he had already seen Ning Yunxuan's unruliness, Li Yiyan couldn't help frowning when he looked at the arrogant appearance of the woman in front of him.
"Ning Yunxuan, do you dare to be so unruly, aren't you afraid that this king will punish you?" Li Yiyan's face was slightly gloomy.
Ning Yunyu rolled her eyes when she heard this, but thinking that she still had to rely on the prince in front of her, she had to get up and salute: "The concubine has seen the prince, has the prince finished his meal in Biyun Pavilion again?" ”
Ning Yunxuan's expression changed, Li Yiyan naturally saw it in his eyes, although he was extremely angry in his heart, he felt funny.
Li Yiyan covered the look in his eyes, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said: "Ning Yunxuan, since you are the side concubine of this king, you have to abide by the rules, if you are so rude, this king will definitely accept your Splendid Pavilion." ”
Although Ning Yunyu was disdainful in his heart, he still showed a respectful look on his face and said: "When the concubine sees the prince in the future, she will definitely be in order, and she will definitely fulfill her duty as a side concubine." ”
Li Yiyan nodded with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, then serve the king and finish the meal." ”
The dishes at the end of the meal were not rich, because Li Yiyan did not spread it when he came, so there were no additional dishes, a total of three dishes and one soup.
Because Ning Yunyu didn't like the lightness of the ancient diet, he taught the chef a few methods, and the taste of the dishes improved a lot.
Originally, it was the girl next to Li Yiyan who served him to eat, but today because of Li Yiyan's words, the person who served him became Ning Yunxuan.
Ning Yunyu was hungry, endured the anger in his heart, and finally waited for Li Yiyan to finish eating, but saw the prince in front of him put down the dishes and chopsticks with an elegant posture, raised his eyes and said indifferently to Ning Yunyu: "The performance of the side concubine today is really satisfactory to the king, isn't it the king of Japan who is resting in Biyun Pavilion now?" ”
Rest your grandma's big-headed ghost!
Ning Yunxuan resisted the urge to smash Li Yiyan's demonic face with dishes and chopsticks, and blessed Li Yiyan, looking well-behaved: "Unfortunately, the concubine is here today." ”
Looking at Ning Yunxuan's performance, Li Yiyan hid the smile in his eyes, and his voice was still flat: "It's okay." ”
The corners of Ning Yunyu's lips twitched, this shameless man.
