Bai Poria asked about the current operation of the embroidery workshop, Bai Wei and Mo did not dare to slack off, and explained clearly one by one, and told the situation of the rest of the famous embroidery workshops in the capital.
In general, the nylon embroidery workshop is not ranked among the top three in terms of scale and revenue in the Beijing embroidery workshop, because the Bai family is unwilling to be too public, and deliberately controls the scale. For a long time, the impression of the embroidery workshop to the people of the capital is that Princess Antai is just a thing to kill time, and she has no ambition to compete for the position of the first embroidery workshop in the Qi Kingdom, nor does she plan to grab the big business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it is not a big threat to her peers.
The target customers of the embroidery workshop are very clear - the most powerful and wealthy officials and businessmen in Beijing!
All the things in the embroidery workshop are novel and unique, only this one, and the number is scarce and sold out, known for its high quality and higher price, so many years has maintained a fairly low production and sales volume, and the cycle of customized embroidery is also longer, in the nylon embroidery workshop to order an embroidery, as little as one or two months, and so on for a year and a half are considered ordinary, quite a bit of limited production taste.
But those who have money and have nowhere to spend their daughters are good at this, plus the boss on the embroidery workshop is the princess Antai who is the same mother as the emperor today, and the identity is extremely noble.
The harder it is to get, the more precious it is, which is also one of the root causes of human inferiority.
Of course, the nylon embroidery workshop can always make some styles of products that other embroidery workshops do not have, and even the stitching handicraft is also a must, which are important factors in its success.
Today, every time the nylon embroidery workshop launches some new products, it will immediately cause a plagiarism trend, and there are countless followers. Being able to own an original embroidery of a nylon embroidery workshop, and then looking at the counterfeit products used by others, the feeling of great satisfaction of vanity has prompted the ladies in Beijing to pursue it frantically.
For the development of the embroidery workshop, the core of white poria has always been to be exported to overseas and neighboring countries in the future, and the revenue of the nylon embroidery workshop has never been the focus. The establishment of this embroidery workshop was just an attempt to facilitate her to understand the market trends and find another way to get through the upper class relationship, but the rewards were far beyond imagination!
There is such a well-known embroidery workshop, not only vaguely affect the trend of the silk embroidery industry in Beijing, but also provide great convenience for recruiting talents, as long as the embroidery girl cultivated by the Bai family has worked in the nylon embroidery workshop for a period of time, go out is the embroidery workshop to grab the talent.
Bai Wei and Mo both understood her thoughts, they had done very successfully over the years, and the achievements of the embroidery workshop had long exceeded Bai Poria's expectations, and after asking all the questions one by one, she was finally completely relieved - even if she was no longer there in the future, these women would still be able to live well.
A few women talk about it, the topic slowly began to develop in the direction of gossip, Bai Wei and Mo's and other embroidery workshop shopkeepers have more contact with the relatives of high-ranking officials in Beijing and the wealthy, for the gossip news in the backyard, the degree of well-informed is better than Bai Qian, Bai Guo didn't expect to meet a bosom friend here, only hate the same bayberry is not there, but the embroidery workshop is a place where the official ladies like Bai Poria can often come and go, and they are not afraid that Yangmei will not have the opportunity to come with them in the future.
I don't know if the world is really that small, Mo Shi said and even mentioned the matter of the Cui family.
Not many people in the capital know about Bai Poria and Cui Zhenyi's discord, at least Bai Wei and Mo don't know about it, but this happened outside the embroidery workshop in the past few days, and it was fresh, so I talked about it to them. Bai Poria never took Cui Zhenyi to heart, but Bai Guo's eyes lit up when she heard it.
To be exact, this matter has nothing to do with Cui Zhenyi herself.
It turned out that the Cui family sent Liu Zhenzhen to the Great Prince's Mansion a few days ago to serve, although she was not even a formal concubine, but she was fortunate to be favored by the Great Prince on the same day.
Liu Zhenzhen has been famous for the nylon embroidery workshop for a long time, and designated to come here to customize dresses. The order of the nylon embroidery workshop has long been scheduled for March and April after the year, and she wants to wear the dress of the nylon embroidery workshop to show off, and it will be possible after June next year at the earliest.
It happened that on that day, another guest of the embroidery workshop, Mrs. An Guo, had no time to come to the nylon embroidery workshop to try on new clothes because of the distinguished guests at home, so she only sent the chief manager of the house with two girls. Several people fiddled with and inspected the newly made dress, which aroused Liu Zhenzhen's envy and jealousy on the spot.
She immediately assigned the grandmother around her to intercept the person when she got out of the embroidery workshop, and offered to buy the dress at twice the price, there were just a few subordinates over there, of course, she couldn't be the master, and the other party's owner was also a duchess of the country, and the head of the house felt that Liu Zhenzhen's proposal was very offensive, as if it was saying that her own duchess did not have as much money as her, and she couldn't help but be prickly when she replied.
Liu Zhenzhen has been favored by the eldest prince these days, thinking that he is also a great prince, the other party's head is just a vain prince, can he still be bigger than the prince? Especially his own one, it is very likely that he will be the emperor in the future!
Both sides were angry, first verbal conflict, which soon escalated to a physical conflict, and Liu Zhenzhen won an overwhelming victory with more maids and servants than the other party.
The place where they disputed was not far from the nylon embroidery workshop, when Bai Wei and Mo heard the news, the victory and defeat on both sides had been divided, they had been in the capital for more than ten years, what scene had they not seen? Knowing that such a muddy water would never be able to wade, it was very easy to get into trouble, so he hurriedly sent someone to report Princess Antai urgently.
The housekeeper of the princess's mansion arrived quickly, and the people from the houses on both sides of the dispute also arrived, and as soon as the identity was revealed, everyone had the urge to faint!
Although the buyer of the original dress was the Duchess of An Guo, she did not wear it herself, but intended to give her a distant cousin who was close to her. The reason why she is so generous is not because she has sisterly love, but because this cousin is a concubine of the second prince, and she just gave birth to a son for the second prince a few months ago!
When things were going on, this cousin happened to be a guest at the Anguo Mansion with the second prince, waiting to try on the new clothes that her cousin gave her.
Duchess Anguo is not a good person, and when she heard that someone dared to bully her family, she told her cousin about it, and the cousin immediately cried in front of the second prince. The second prince didn't know who the other party was, thinking that most of them were the family members of ignorant officials, so they sent people from the prince's mansion to teach each other a lesson.
Now it really responds to the sentence that the road is narrow!
The housekeeper of the princess's mansion was originally a female official in the palace, with deep qualifications, and she could say a few words in front of the current emperor.
It is said that Liu Zhenzhen was grounded when he returned to the Great Prince's Mansion, but it was the second prince's favorite concubine, who was just scolded a few words and was fine.
Bai Guo listened heartily and said with a grin: "I say, why is this cousin of the Cui family always not good at learning?" I started a dyeing workshop with some color, always thinking about bullying others, and I don't want to think about whether I can really afford it? Every time it ends like this, I feel a little sympathetic to her. ”
Bai Poria smiled faintly, in fact, Liu Zhenzhen is really pitiful, most of the women in these years must be attached to a man in order to survive well. She wants to have no identity, and she doesn't have parents to support her, she always wants to find a powerful man to lean on, but she never thinks that there are too many silk flowers leaning on that man, and she naturally doesn't care about more "embellishments" on her body when she has nothing to do, but how can she care about the life and death of these "embellishments"?
Once he felt that these "embellishments" had become "burdensome", hindering his business and causing him to lose face, he would definitely not hesitate to throw them away, and even destroy them with his own hands.
But in the end, this is also the path they have chosen, and no one can blame them.
Returning from the tunnel to the Guogong Mansion to read Yunxuan's room, they were greeted by Yang Mei's complaining gaze, no need to ask to know, today she was tossed by those people in the Yasukuni Mansion again.
Bai Guo took her aside very sensibly to share today's gossip harvest, and when Bai Poria finished freshening up, the Bai couple also came.
Mu Peilan brought a not very good news: "Today, the eldest aunt came to me and said that before Ling'er and Luli, Yili should participate in the gathering of the ladies and ladies in Beijing, so that the guests can be prepared and get to know you first." The Yasukuni Mansion and the Zhongguo Mansion also have a lot of world friends in Beijing, and your aunt's meaning, even if you don't come to visit them one by one, you should let the family know that Miss Sun of the Zhongguo Mansion has returned to Beijing...... What do you see, Ling'er? ”
When she asked this, she actually agreed with the words of the Duchess of Yasukuni, but she was afraid that her daughter would have ideas in her heart, so she came to discuss and persuade her first.
Bai Poria had already decided to be in the capital during this time, at least before the ceremony, she would try her best to cooperate with her father's request, pretend to be a lady, and not embarrass her father. These things can't be avoided at all, but it's just a matter of time or time, so I sighed secretly in my heart, and agreed very obediently.
Mu Peilan happily hugged her and shook it, and said proudly: "My daughter is so beautiful, I don't know how many ladies and wives want to envy my blessings!" ”
As a parent, most of them are not exempt from vulgarity, when their children are extraordinarily good, they always want to show off everywhere, Bai Poria leaned on her mother's arms, and said in her heart: Okay, as long as my mother is happy, I will be wronged for one or two months.
So from the next day, Bai Poria had to slowly recover from a sick and weak beautiful girl who was "unconscious" all day long to a sick and weak beautiful girl who was "bedridden", and it is estimated that after a few days, she can reach the standard of a sick and weak beautiful girl who can "barely walk around".
She doesn't plan to take off her big sick hat, and she uses this excuse to sneak away when necessary! As long as she pretends to be at Lin Daiyu's level, it's almost the same.
