After settling down in the inn, after a short rest, Nangong Linyou ordered a table of dishes and ate with the Ji family, Gu Shuzhen was worried about making clothes, thinking about finding a tailor shop on the street after eating.

"Aunt Ji, I have already asked people to call the shopkeeper of the largest garment shop in Qinghe Prefecture and the embroidery girl, you can arrive in a while, you can wait with peace of mind, arrange the things to make clothes, let's rest early, tomorrow I will take you to Jing'an Temple to incense, go to the lake, listen to the play, and watch juggling." Nangong Linyou has already arranged the itinerary.

After eating and resting for a while, Li Chun brought two women in, one of them was relatively plump, and the clothes on his body shimmered with brilliance; One is on the thin side, and his clothes are delicately embroidered.

"This is our Young Master Nangong, this is Mrs. Ji, Miss Ji, these two are the shopkeeper and steward of the Splendid Garment Workshop." Li Chun introduced the identities of both parties.

Ji Nuan jumped off the chair and saluted: "There are two Laos, we have some clothes materials here, and the body size of the person who wants to make clothes has been pasted on them, and the men will embroider a few purses of the same color as the clothes."

There are a total of six pieces of fabric for women, my mother and I each make three skirts, my mother likes flowers, you do it according to the style and color that is popular now, mine ...... You can embroider a few butterflies on the skirt of the satin, and the other two are kept for home wear, there is no need to embroider, trouble the two! ”

Ji Nuan explained the matter of making clothes in a few words, and the brothers of the Ji family went into the room to take out more than 20 pieces of fabric, and the shopkeeper said that I am afraid that I will not be able to make so many clothes in three or five days, Ji Nuan told her to make one set according to different sizes, and there are ten people in their family, and it should be possible to complete ten sets first.

"Then it has to be an urgent job, and it would be good to be able to make five sets according to the normal schedule in three days."

Nangong Linyou glanced at Li Chun, what are you doing, why are these two still talking about the conditions, Li Chun hurriedly stopped the two of them: "You just say whether this business can be done, with our young master Nangong here, as long as the clothes are done well, everything else is easy to discuss." ”

"How much does it cost to make these clothes, the shopkeeper said the number, if both parties can accept it, we will make a deal, even if the transaction fails, it's nothing, you say yes!"

The shopkeeper glanced at Nangong Linyou, the other party glanced at her lightly, continued to play with the jade pendant in his hand, and then looked at Ji Nuan, although he was dressed very ordinarily, he had a sense of aura on his body, and he was bowing his head to drink tea at the moment, and the rest of the people looked at her in unison, and the shopkeeper knew at a glance that they were not the masters who had the final say.

"The girl will pay me six taels of silver in advance, and then five taels after all the clothes are finished, is this price okay? Our splendid garment workshop also costs 300 yuan to make a set of the most ordinary clothes, not to mention that there are a few silk here, the girl also has a purse, and two embroidered skirts! ”

Ji Nuan took out six taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the other party, and after making an appointment to hand over ten sets of clothes three days later, the shopkeeper and the steward checked the size of the clothes with Ji Nuan, and left with the fabric.

"Nuan Nuan, it's too expensive to spend eleven taels of silver to make clothes, I knew that I only took a few pieces of silk to make them, and I and your father and Lian Qiu can make their own clothes at home." Ten taels of silver is enough for the countryman to live for two years, and now it is given to the tailor's shop, Gu Shuzhen really wants to go up and get the clothes and silver back, she doesn't want to make clothes here!

"Mother, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for a penny, and you will know when the clothes are made, the craftsmanship of Fucheng embroidery is not at all comparable to the tailor master in that kind of place in Jinquan County, and these clothes are left to you to do, what years and months do you have to do." The money we spent today is not as good as a fraction of the amount of Nangong Young Master's bag of this inn, I'm not wrong! Ji Nuan had already found that there were no other guests in this inn except them, and this Nangong Linyou actually wrapped this place.

"I'm afraid of noisy, I don't like to live in a crowded place, I want to say that I will take you to live in the Nangong family's courtyard, but I'm afraid that you won't." This girl is sensitive enough, Nangong Linyou is glad that she didn't take them to the other courtyard on her own, if the little girl detects it, maybe she will be angry.

Ji Nuan leaned on the corner of the table beside Nangong Linyou: "Let's discuss, you go back to live in another courtyard, we will stay, let the inn receive guests normally, we only need to charter two Tianzi rooms." ”

"You said it's late, the money has been paid, you can't return it, Brother Lianxi, you can walk around in this inn casually, we won't go out if it's a little late today, I'll take you to play for a day tomorrow." After a while, the people at the inn will bring hot water, snacks and fruits, what else do you want to eat for Nie Xu to buy, I will go to rest, see you tomorrow morning. "Raise your spirits today, and tomorrow you can take them to their heart's content.

After returning to the room, Gu Shuzhen muttered vigorously that she shouldn't come to Qinghe Prefecture, how much silver does it cost, and it is estimated that it will cost hundreds of taels if you pack an inn like this for a day! Afraid that her mother would be frightened by the real numbers, Ji Nuan nodded cooperatively: "Mother, Nangong Linyou has already chartered the inn, you can live in peace, it's useless for you to worry about it when the money is spent."

Your concept has to be changed, small households live by diligence and thrift, business people must learn to make money, let them roll, become more and more, you listen to which rich people's silver is saved from a meal, a suit of clothes, the real rich people are very willing to spend money on food and clothing.

People pay attention to the quality of life, we eat their own steamed steamed buns to be satisfied, they have to ask the chef to steam out the tricks, not only to eat the taste to be delicious, but also to look pleasing to the eye. ”

"After all, there are a few people who live that kind of life, let's live a down-to-earth life, Nuan Nuan, our family has a little money at most now, but we can't learn from others, and we don't dare to toss blindly!" Gu Shuzhen was afraid that her daughter was young, and her mind changed after seeing the prosperity outside.

I have lived two lifetimes, how can I be influenced by the outside world: "Mother, I know what I am doing and what I should do, as for what Nangong Linyou is doing now, I just want to repay me a favor, let's not look too petty, and we don't come to Fucheng every day to send money." ”

Finally didn't have to get up in the middle of the night, Ji Nuan and Gu Shuzhen lay on the bed after taking a shower and chatted for a while, I don't know when they fell asleep, they went to the space in the middle of the night to do a wave of tasks, returned to their mother's side and hugged her arm and closed their eyes......

In the morning, Gu Shuzhen woke up and pushed Ji Nuan in a panic: "Nuan Nuan, it's broken, it's broken, it's dawn, we haven't gone to the tofu shop yet, what are you selling without making tofu this morning?" ”

Seeing her mother's anxious and panicked appearance, Ji Nuan decided to go back and discuss with her family about opening an oil mill, and she couldn't let her family get up in the middle of the night to work, which was all wrong.
