Chapter 19 New Ready-to-Wear
Li Hanyu heard Ning Yunyu agree, and laughed loudly: "Okay, since this is the case, then in the future, this Ning Concubine will be commensurate with the queen's sisters." ”
At the beginning of the dinner, everyone knew that it was prepared for the concubine of King Rui, so everyone planned to watch this Ning Yunyu make a fool of himself, but they didn't expect that Ning Yunyu not only did not lose face, but actually made a splash at the dinner.
With the dance of Ning Shishi and Ning Yunyu, the rest of the dinner party seemed boring.
Li Hanyu dismissed the dinner at the right time and let the ministers return to the palace.
After leaving the palace, Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxuan sat in the same carriage, inexplicably a little embarrassed.
Ning Yunyu, who had left the palace, had already put away her well-behaved appearance in the palace, and was looking at her nails boredly at this time.
Li Yiyan's eyes were like arrows, nailed to Ning Yunxuan's face, and after a while, he finally asked out loud: "You can't be Ning Yunxuan, Ning Yunxuan doesn't know kung fu at all, who are you?" ”
Ning Yunyu raised his eyes, and there was no fear of being questioned in his moist eyes, but with a smile: "As long as you stand on the side of the prince, it is harmless to the prince, so why should the prince care about an identity?" ”
Li Yiyan was silent.
He has always been prepared for everything he does, and there is no room for accidents. But now, the woman in front of him was an accident, and he couldn't understand her at all.
However, from the series of actions of the woman in front of her, Li Yiyan couldn't tell that she was Li Hanyu's person at all.
Frowning and thinking for a while, Li Yiyan raised his eyes and looked at Ning Yunxuan: "Do you really agree to cooperate with this king?" ”
The smile in Ning Yun's eyes increased a little: "Since the benefits that the prince said are enough to make my heart move, then why don't I agree?" As he spoke, Ning Yun's eyes turned slightly, and he continued: "However, in order to express the sincerity of cooperation, I hope that the prince will promise me one thing first." ”
Hearing this, Li Yiyan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Say." ”
Ning Yunxuan smiled and said, "The prince doesn't have to be nervous, I just want to ask the prince for that dyeing workshop." ”
Li Yiyan looked at Ning Yunxuan's expression, trying to judge the truth of her words from her expression, but no matter how he looked at it, he was never able to see through her.
Li Yiyan nodded slightly: "Okay." ”
After receiving Li Yiyan's reply, Ning Yunxuan's eyes lit up.
From the beginning, she was only on her side.
In this dynasty, since you can't rely on men to live well, you can only rely on yourself. Well, the first thing is money.
In the palace, after the dinner, the emperor rested in the queen's palace.
The queen, who was originally nearly thirty years old, had already lost the ability to compete for favor in the harem. Seeing that the emperor took the initiative to come, he was naturally overjoyed.
Li Hanyu looked at Zhang with a smile and said, "It's really the queen who is the most heartfelt." ”
Zhang raised his eyes and smiled: "Since the emperor is so worried about that Ning Yunxuan, the concubine can only find a way to keep her by his side." As the emperor's wife, she naturally wants to share her worries about Huang Shang. ”
Li Hanyu smiled loudly, his eyes were deep: "Since this is the case, then you should have more contact with her and find out about the treasure." ”
The queen's eyes were slightly condensed, and she replied, "The concubine understands." ”
After taking over the dyeing workshop, Ning Yunyu naturally wanted to carry out some transformations.
First of all, it must be the person who wants to replace Cheng Mengxi. Ning Yunxuan didn't have so much mind to deal with some villains who made her stumble.
On the day he got the news, Cheng Mengxi naturally came to ask for the guilt in a menacing manner.
Wearing a water-red long dress, Cheng Mengxi was dressed in a charming manner, but the dark look on her face made people dare not compliment.
"Ning Yunxuan, you dare to change the workers in the dyeing workshop at will!" As soon as Cheng Mengxi entered the door, he couldn't care about his identity and made accusations.
Ning Yunyu was sitting at the mahogany carved table, drinking tea, looking at the people who rushed in, without the slightest surprise.
Taking a sip of the best Biluochun in the cup, the fragrance of tea overflowed, Ning Yunyu raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Mengxi, with a smile on the corner of her lips: "Yo, the princess is here, why are you so angry?" ”
Cheng Mengxi looked at Ning Yunxuan's actions of not putting her in her eyes at all, and the anger in her heart jumped up all of a sudden: "Ning Yunxuan, you are bold, you didn't give a salute when you saw this princess?" ”
Ning Yunyu smiled when she heard this, her eyes were disdainful, now she disdains to give gifts when she sees Li Yiyan, let alone Cheng Mengxi.
Ning Yunyu raised her eyes and smiled: "Why is the princess so angry, Yun Yu just danced a sword at the dinner party yesterday and injured her waist, so it is inconvenient to give a gift." ”
Saying that, Ning Yunyu looked at Cheng Mengxi's face with satisfaction, since the dinner that day, almost all the official eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the concubine of King Rui was not only not a stupid person, but also shocked.
But Ning Yunyu, the side concubine, was in the limelight at the dinner, but she, the main concubine, was not qualified to participate in the dinner, how could she not be angry?
Seeing that Cheng Mengxi's face was becoming more and more ugly, Ning Yunxuan smiled and said: "If it is because of this little matter, it will make the princess lose an inconsiderate reputation and ruin the princess's virtuous reputation." ”
Cheng Mengxi's face couldn't be darker anymore, but she also knew that Ning Yunyu's words made sense, these days she had clearly felt that King Rui didn't care about herself, and if she made trouble again, she was afraid that she would be idle.
Cheng Mengxi tried to suppress his anger and reprimanded: "You changed the workers in the cloth workshop? ”
Ning Yunyu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and Shi Ran replied, "Yes." ”
Hearing Ning Yunxi's admission, the anger on Cheng Mengxi's face was even worse, and Liu Ye frowned deeply: "Bold, you dare to replace the old guy in the palace workshop without permission?" ”
Ning Yunyu raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Mengxi with some curiosity: "The prince has already handed over the cloth workshop to me, so I naturally have the right to change partners?" ”
"What?" When Cheng Mengxi heard Ning Yunxuan's words, he was like being struck by lightning, and his face was full of disbelief.
Seeing Cheng Mengxi's performance, Ning Yunyu's gaze fell on the teacup again, and said lightly: "What's more, the last time I dyed the cloth, some of the old guys were already derelict in their duties, and the prince already had the heart to change people, I changed it for the prince, saving the prince's effort, I'm afraid the prince is also willing." ”
Hearing Ning Yunxi's words, Cheng Mengxi's face turned pale, she originally came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but at this time she was speechless.
It seems that I don't know when it started, the person in front of me seems to be a different person, making her lose and retreat.
Could it be that she Cheng Mengxi is going to lose to a stupid person who is ridiculed everywhere, she is unwilling!
Cheng Mengxi's eyes shot out a light of jealousy, she definitely wouldn't let Ning Yunyu, a slut, snatch the prince.
After a while, Ning Yunyu raised her eyes and said lightly: "If the princess has nothing to do, please go back." ”
Cheng Mengxi glanced at Ning Yunyu hatefully, then turned his face and left.
Looking at the back of Cheng Mengxi leaving, Ning Yunyu put down the teacup and said to Yangmei, who had been standing next to her, "Let's go, let's go to the cloth workshop to have a look." ”
The cloth workshop has been repaired by Ning Yunxuan, and the workers who originally came in only by virtue of their relationships have been replaced, and a few skilled masters and most of the workers are still left.
Originally, the ready-to-wear clothes made in the cloth workshop were sold to Cheng Mengxi's cousin's ready-to-wear store at a low price.
Ning Yunyu later asked Li Yiyan for a storefront as a ready-to-wear store.
Knowing Ning Yunxuan's plan, Li Yiyan was naturally a little puzzled, a store was not a big deal for him, but he questioned Ning Yunxuan's way of doing things.
Seeing Li Yiyan's doubts, Ning Yunxuan only said: "The prince can borrow me for three months first, and after three months, I will want to pay 100,000 taels to the treasury of the Rui Wangfu as the rent for these three months." If you can't do it, the prince can take back the shop. ”
Looking at the confident look on Ning Yunyu's face, Li Yiyan finally nodded, and let her make a fuss.
On the decoration of the pavement, Ning Yunxuan took the name of Li Yiyan and found a famous inscription, three big characters that are elegant and free, and the splendid pavilion.
There is an inscription, but the shop has not been opened for a long time, which has aroused the curiosity of many passers-by.
When Ning Yunyu arrived at the dyeing workshop, the people in the workshop were busy.
When they saw Ning Yunxuan, they all looked respectful, and when Ning Yunxuan took over the dyeing workshop, he had already rearranged the monthly money for the workers.
Originally, these people and the palace signed a death contract, with little salary, and they were stripped a lot by Zhang Qiong and others before. Now Ning Yunyu not only pays a lot more, but also has four days off per month for each person to go home to accompany his family.
The workers in the dyeing workshop had never heard of such a good method and treatment, so naturally their hands and feet were more agile, and they also respected Ning Yunyu more.
"Master Li, can these patterns be made into ready-to-wear?" After looking at it for a week, Ning Yunxuan walked straight into the place where clothes were made.
It is also a room opened in the dyeing workshop, which is dedicated to the production of ready-to-wear.
Li Fu is an old garment master in the dyeing workshop, and his craftsmanship is exquisite, which makes Ning Yunyu amazed.
Seeing Ning Yunyu's arrival, Li Fu's face showed a smile, and he replied repeatedly: "Although it is a style that I have never seen, but with the drawings brought by Princess Fang, they are all done." ”
Hearing this, Ning Yunyu smiled and nodded.
A few days ago, she had prepared a few drawings, and there were no big tricks, they were all common methods for clothes now. But in modern times, ordinary means have become new in ancient times.
Since it is a business, it is as unchanged as before, so naturally there is no way to make it bigger.
Master Li took out a ready-to-wear that had been made, handed it to Ning Yunyu to see, and asked respectfully, "Princess Fang, if these clothes are all ready, will they all be put in the store?" ”
Ning Yunyu took the clothes, this one did not have any major changes, but the original flowing water sleeves increased the feeling of the current puff sleeves, which not only did not change the charming state of the woman's water sleeves, but also showed the coquettish state of the daughter's family. It's definitely going to be likable.
After looking at the clothes, Ning Yunyu frowned slightly: "Don't put all the clothes on the table first, just put one at a time for these styles I gave you." Let's put on some normal clothes for the others. ”
"Why is that?" Hearing Ning Yunyu's words, Li Fu's face showed a look of incomprehension.
Ning Yunyu smiled and explained: "If you put them all out, you won't have a fresh feeling, but this time you put them out again and again, but they will give the guests a strange feeling." ”
After speaking, Ning Yunyu's eyes rolled, and then said: "These clothes, each price is two hundred taels, if the first one is sold, and a guest comes to ask later, it will say that it is out of stock and needs to be reserved." ”
These are the so-called hunger marketing in modern times, which will never satisfy the market demand to ensure that consumers are enthusiastic about these items.
Li Fu was taken aback when he heard Ning Yunxuan's words, ordinary clothes, even the clothes worn by the eldest ladies, were only a few dozen taels of silver, but these pieces were sold for two hundred taels.
But seeing Ning Yunxuan's confident appearance, Li Fu just nodded and didn't ask any more.
