XLVII See the difference
"Copper Building Street ....."
A pretty lady in a carriage lifted the curtain to look out, and shouted to a car behind.
"Zhai Siniang, isn't it here?"
Looking at the street again, she looked a little surprised.
"Is Tonglou Street so lively?"
Two gorgeous carriages came, which was rare on Tonglou Street, and the people on the street saw it, some were busy dodging, some were curious and stared, and they didn't know how to avoid it, and the coachman scolded and drove away angrily.
Why are there more people on Tonglou Street? There are also a lot of unruly countrymen.
In the latter car, Miss Zhai Si lifted the curtain and looked out, and was also a little surprised: "It wasn't so lively when I came last time."
Next to her sat Miss Jiang Jiasan, urging: "Don't care if the street is lively or not, quickly find that embroidery's shop."
He glanced at her as he spoke.
"I've been delayed for so long, I'm afraid I won't have time to wear it for my sister's birthday."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Miss Zhai Si's face.
At that time, she deliberately dropped the fan, fearing that someone would find out that she was using something given by the Seven Stars.
Jiang Jialai asked if she had lost the fan, and she was shocked, so she naturally said that she hadn't lost it.
Unexpectedly, there was an even greater fright later, and Miss Jiang San came directly to the door.
"You still say it's not yours?" Miss Jiang San stuffed the fan into her hand, "Du Judge Huo Dudu said that this is yours!"
Metropolitan Judge! Huo Lian!
Miss Zhai Si almost fainted, why? What's going on? It's just a fan, how does it have anything to do with Huo Lian?
Fortunately, Miss Jiang San didn't scare her anymore, everyone knew how scary Huo Lian was, she could really scare people to death, and she hurriedly told her what had happened.
"My cousin was asking with a fan, and when he met the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office, he was recognized, either Huo Dudu deliberately stared at this fan, or it was a coincidence." Miss Jiang San comforted her.
This seems to be comforting but not too comforting, Miss Zhai Si's face is even whiter, does she know what kind of fan she uses?
Why did the Metropolitan Inspector even stare at her?
"What's this, the Inspector is full of ears and eyes, snooping." Miss Jiang San, "I'm staring at everything, everyone is like this, maybe I come out today to get a handkerchief, and the Inspector knows it."
In this way, Miss Zhai Si was uneasy, but she was seen through, and it was not easy to hide it anymore, so she told Qixing about the gift of the fan, and Miss Jiang San was overjoyed and asked her to come to Linglong Fang.
It has been half a month since I lost my fan in the garden.
"Don't worry." Miss Zhai Si was busy with Jiang San, "I will follow Qixing, even if I don't sleep day and night, I won't miss the eldest lady's birthday!"
Speaking of this, he smiled again.
"She doesn't have any other business, so she concentrates on this one, and when the big sister wears it, she will be able to have more business."
Miss Jiang San nodded: "If it is done, I will persuade my mother to give her some embroidery business at home."
Miss Zhai Si said happily, "That's great."
She was really happy for Miss Seven Stars, although the process was a bit unexpected, but the result was still as Miss Seven Stars wanted, and when she was seen, business came.
"It's almost there." Miss Zhai Si leaned out and pointed ahead, "It's in the corner over there, the ...... is deserted"....
She didn't finish her words and stopped, looking a little puzzled.
There was a shop in the front corner, but it wasn't deserted.
There were quite a few people outside the door.
It's not the same as last time, is it misremembering?
The carriage in front of it had already arrived, stopped, and the ladies looked at the plaque and read, "Xu Cheng Linglong Fang, this is it."
Yes, Miss Zhai Si also got out of the car, looked up at the plaque, and then looked at the people surrounding the door.
It's not the kind of idlers gathering, but it's obviously lined up, and you can see the store beyond these people, and there are quite a few people at this time.
What's going on?
It is not surprising to say that the embroidery village on Jinlou Street is so lively, but it is
Tonglou Street, moreover, the people in line don't look like they are buying embroidery.
They were both men and women, most of them middle-aged and elderly, and were not dressed as well as the lowliest servants in their households.
The three young ladies who just got out of the car unconsciously covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs or fans, and these people all smelled of them.
"Zhai Siniang, is this really an embroidery village?" A young lady asked.
Miss Zhai Si looked at the people in the queue holding all kinds of utensils, some holding tattered boxes, some carrying tattered food boxes......
God, shouldn't it be impossible to open the door has been closed, and the owner has become a rag collector of groceries, right?
Miss Zhai Si didn't care to explain to the ladies, and hurried in.
"Miss Seven Stars, are you still there?" She shouted.
……
……
"I'm here."
Qixing looked at the girls who walked in, the young lady and the maidservant were seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the store was even more crowded.
"And what's going on?" Miss Zhai Si looked at the other people in the store and asked.
At this time, there were four or five people in the store, and when they saw this group of ladies of the noble clan wearing gold and silver, they were ashamed of themselves and hurriedly avoided them.
"Guest." Seven Stars said with a smile.
Will these people buy embroidery? The ladies couldn't help but look at these people, who were all coarse cloth and had almost no embroidery.
No way.
These people's clothes, shoes and socks are made by themselves, so that they will not spend money on clothes and accessories, and they can wear warm and eat enough.
"What is this?" Miss Zhai Si was not so easy to deceive, pointing to a red cloth held by a woman.
The cloth was obviously woven and dyed by herself, and it was very fine, but it was only fine, and the maidservants around her did not wear this cloth.
"This is the fabric that the customer wants to cut and embroider." Seven Stars said, "Her daughter is getting married, so she will make a wedding dress."
Miss Zhai Si was surprised: "This kind of fabric is used for embroidery? Isn't it a waste of craftsmanship?"
Hearing this, the woman subconsciously ducked back and said, "No, it's okay, I'm just here to ask."
The wedding dresses of people like them are all made by themselves, dyed a color, and simply embroidered flowers, which is enough.
But since I heard that Xu Cheng Linglong Fang can turn stones into gold and turn the old into new, I inquired about the price, and couldn't help but have the idea to try it, maybe I could send in an ordinary cloth in exchange for a beautiful wedding dress.
She's really trying her luck.
At this moment, the woman was ashamed and uneasy.
"I, I'm just asking, I'm leaving." She stammered, holding the cloth to leave.
Qixing hurriedly stopped and said to stay, but did not speak to the woman, but said to Zhai Si: "You are underestimating me, my craft, what can't you do? Not to mention coarse cloth, animal skins can be made, do you believe it or not?" ….
Miss Zhai Si looked at the woman's embarrassed appearance, and knew that her speech was too abrupt, and she was not the kind of arrogant Miss who looked down on the poor and deliberately despised her, she just blurted out the truth, and smiled through Qixing's words: "Yes, I believe it." And he said, "We have come today to ask you to make embroidered dresses."
After that, pull Miss Jiang San over.
"It's going to be for her sister's birthday."
Miss Jiang San smiled at Qixing, "I have admired the name for a long time." As he spoke, he shook the fan again, "This Kingdee is really alive."
Qixing smiled, returned the salute, and apologized a little: "Please wait a moment while I entertain the guests who come first."
Before he could speak, the other customers in the store had already spoken.
"Treat them, shopkeeper."
"We're not in a hurry."
The woman holding the cloth stepped back again.
"Let's go out and wait."
They know that they don't pay much for what they do, and they are purely taking advantage.
They can't make a lot of money by doing their business, and they can only make money by doing the business of rich and noble people, and they don't want to delay Linglong Fang to make money.
Miss Zhai Si, who was led backwards by the pheasant, couldn't help but look back
These guests.
Miss Seven Stars is doing ...... business It's a hit you've never seen before.
…..
…..
Although it felt like a ragtag shop for groceries in front of the door, the inner room was no worse than the shops they used to visit.
The pheasant brought a few more booklets, saying that they were some jewelry boxes in Linglong Fang, all of which were small and could be worn with him, and they were more exquisite than the usual ones.
The ladies looked through the picks, and before they could finish reading the seven stars, they came in, and immediately pointed to the jewelry boxes that they wanted to see in the booklet.
"Some are in stock, some are waiting." Qixing said apologetically, "Now there are many customers in the store, and the construction schedule is full."
The young ladies were a little disappointed, and Miss Jiang San glanced at Miss Zhai Si again with resentment.
But fortunately, at the request of Miss Zhai Si, the hundred butterfly skirt that Miss Jiang San wanted was arranged, but it was only this one, and others could only wait if they wanted to do embroidery.
The ladies took their leave with mixed emotions.
Miss Zhai Si was a few steps behind, and she was disgusted: "Are you stupid, jewelry and dresses are a big business to make money."
She could see that on the booklet brought by the pheasant, a small jewelry box was worth a lot of money.
It must be much more expensive than making a garment out of a woman's woven and dyed cloth.
Seven Stars smiled and said, "A small business is also a business."
Small business, Miss Zhai Si still remembers that she said that she wanted to do a small business, but it wasn't that there was no business at the beginning, and now that there is a better business, why not do it?
Zhai Si: "There is a lot of money that you don't earn, I don't know what you're thinking!"
Qixing looked at her: "Big money and small money are all money, you can't divide thick and thin, love each other, and benefit each other, so that business can last for a long time."
Miss Zhai Si felt that she understood but didn't understand, is this talking about money or people?
In fact, from the very beginning, I felt that this Miss Seven Stars was different from other embroiderers.
It stands to reason that he is a craftsman, and he is considered an inferior person, but he has an extraordinary bearing, and he does not have any disdain when he stands in front of her, but feels peaceful, wants to be close, and sometimes even a little awe.
That's why she couldn't help but associate with him, otherwise, according to the previous friendships, just give money and grace.
"Okay, I'll say more." Miss Zhai Si shook the fan, the fan had already been taken back from Miss Jiang San's hand, saying that she would not throw it away again, and then looked at the plaque, as well as the people waiting outside the door, and the young ladies who were getting into the car.
It's only been less than a month, and I still have to wait in line to buy things.
"You do do business." She said, raising her hand and saluting, "The seven shopkeepers are amazing."
Qixing smiled and raised his hand to salute: "Miss Zhai takes care of business."
Miss Zhai Si was amused and talked about taking care of .....
"Actually, I didn't take care of the business this time." She hesitated for a moment, then whispered to the Seven Stars, "It's Huo Dudu of the Metropolitan Judge."
