Chapter 9: The Pomegranate Playboy

La Yue smiled, "The shopkeeper Gao has a heart, I still told him about it last year, it's hard for him to remember, this will find two good long-term workers." ”

"Not really. and what you said about Wang Daxian'er's side, I will also keep an eye on it, and I will return it to you as soon as I have a letter...... By the way, the shopkeeper Gao said that the young lady, don't go to the shop today, the person who bought it made trouble, and he held on to it on the first day, and tomorrow he said that he couldn't hold it down and then invited you. ”

"Although the shopkeeper Gao is not in Zhang's Mansion, his mind is extremely transparent," Layue sighed, "Doing this, first, can make this matter more real, Xing Ji Rouge seems to have an accident, and second, it can also buy me one more day to go out." Layue looked back at Mama Chang, "How does the shopkeeper Gao know that I am in a bad situation in the house now, I am afraid that Mama will work hard." ”

Mama Chang's forehead instantly burst into a layer of sweat, and she hurriedly knelt down in the carriage, "The old slave is too talkative, and the young lady forgives her sins." ”

Layue helped her up, "Mama is also good for me, how can I blame." I'm young, I'm not allowed to see people, the high shopkeeper, I know in my heart that I can be a confidant, but after all, I don't dare to rely too much, but Mama reads more people than me, since you believe him, it must be right. ”

Layue stopped talking, opened the curtains and looked at the streets of Yecheng outside the carriage, the traffic was endless early in the morning, and it really deserved the title of "Little Xianjing".

"Mama, the cloth shop in front of you is the Shi family, right?"

Mama Chang followed Layue's gaze to the magnificent cloth shop outside the window, and the handmade flowers made of various precious woven and dyed cloth heads were in full bloom at the gate, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Exactly. Young lady, look at the flowers in their house, is the color particularly beautiful? ”

Layue was slightly surprised when she heard this, and took a closer look at it, and the carriage had slowly staggered away from the shop.

"I really don't see it. I usually don't pay much attention to things like this weaving and dyeing, and you know, in addition to rouge, I have never cared much about other jewelry and clothes, so is there a secret recipe for the weaving and dyeing of the Shi family? ”

"Yes. Young lady, you didn't go out of the door before, so naturally you don't know this, you know the eldest son of the Shi family, right? ”

Layue shook her head.

Mama Chang looked regretful, "I didn't know that this young lady Shi Dagongzi, who is known as the pomegranate boy, is really full of eyes on the young master." The color of this Shi family's pomegranate flower is unique, and the color cannot be dyed by anyone except their family. ”

La Yue became interested, "Since the eldest son of the Shi family is called a pomegranate dude, could it be that this technique of dyeing cloth is actually from him?" ”

Chang Mama smiled like flowers, "Exactly, at that time, this son was only eleven or twelve years old, returned from his grandfather's house, and said, 'There is a popular pomegranate flower in Huiji, the color is very bright, but the color is less vivid, too heavy, if it can be improved, it will definitely make the world's boudoir women coquettish again, it is really a good deed." Later, he immersed himself in his own dyeing workshop and studied the formula of dyeing cloth for half a year, which led to the dyeing of this light and bright pomegranate red that is now popular in Yecheng, and the cloth shop of the Shi family has also become famous, and it is said that even Jizhou and Jindi have come to order their pomegranate dyeing. Since then, this son has earned the nickname of a pomegranate boy. ”

La Yue chuckled lightly, shook her head, and said, "Isn't this son a womanizer?" but gave himself an elegant reason for being lustful and frivolous. The coquettishness of the boudoir women in the world has not increased, but he is so concerned. After a pause, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and then laughed at himself, "Perhaps, you and I are wrong." Come to think of it, since their family is a businessman, it must be this Shi Dagongzi who saw the business opportunity in this dyeing cloth and studied such a skill......"

Chang Mama was listening, and when she saw that the young lady didn't say anything, she hurriedly asked, "Why didn't the young lady talk about it?" ”

Layue smiled, "Mama, if you have such a skill, how can you make this cloth popular in the shortest possible time?" ”

Mama Chang thought for a while, and replied tentatively, "Dye a lot, put it in the Qinglou first?" Aren't the general fashionable clothes and faces the first to be fashioned in the Qinglou? ”

Layue looked at Mama Chang with approval in surprise, "Mama is really from a merchant, and her mind is faster than ordinary people." She changed her words, "It's just that the level of Yecheng Qinglou is slightly lower, and he is not a famous prostitute, if he relies on them to become famous, he will not be able to spread it to other places, and it will also tarnish his reputation as a pomegranate dude." ”

Mama Chang was confused when she heard it, "Then according to the young lady's opinion?" ”

"The pomegranate dude should be a very literary and well-known person, right?"

Mama Chang nodded, "It is said that he made the best friends with celebrities in Huiji, and he once made more than ten poems with a stick of incense at the Spring Willow Poetry Meeting held by celebrities. ”

Sure enough, if this is the case, where does he need any green building to spread the reputation of weaving and dyeing, just after researching this craft, add a beautiful story to this craft, or a few comments from celebrities, plus the quality is indeed irreplaceable, it must be a hot mess. Look at the sentence 'It will inevitably make the women in the boudoir of the world more coquettish, and it is really a good deed' will figure out people's hearts, which woman can not like it when she hears it? It's really good to look at things again, can you still pay for it obediently? ”

Mama Chang's eyes lit up, "That's right." This pomegranate dye, there is a story in it. Young lady, you could even have expected this! The old slave really admires it. ”

Layue smiled bitterly and lowered her head and closed her eyes, no longer speaking.

It's just a relive life, it's just a more cautious life, and everything has learned to turn around in the mind ten or eight times, but it's just ...... I just want to live well.

The wheels rolled against the bluestone slabs on the street with a rhythmic rolling sound, and Mama Chang looked at the Layue who closed her eyes and recuperated, and sighed softly and lowered the curtains.

After a cup of tea, the carriage stopped.

"Arrived?"

Mama Chang was just about to wake up Layue, but Layue had already opened her eyes, lifted a curtain and looked out.

"Here, there is a carriage parked in front of us, I don't know whose family it is, young lady, you wait a moment, and we will get off when they get off."

La Yue hummed, looked at the eight servants lined up left and right in front of the car, a roll of red carpet was rolled out in front of the car, and two bewitching maids lifted the curtain.

Which noble family has such a big pomp? Layue was puzzled, and a white brocade boot fell from the soft satin stepping stool of the carriage, and then a tall and thin boy stepped on the red carpet with steady steps.

It turned out to be a man? Today's Xiaoyun's flower party even invited a male guest? Why didn't the post say this?

The boy had just stepped on the red carpet, and a gust of wind was bouncing out of the Shijia gate.

"Cousin! You're back! ”
