Chapter 69: Distress
The next day, when the sky was bright, Shen Mingjiao opened her eyes lazily. After washing and eating, I swept to the futon on Luohan's bed, and then remembered Feng Lisheng.
She has never held grudges very much, after all, if there is a grudge, she will be avenged on the spot.
She asked Begonia: "When did Your Highness get up?" ”
"Yin Shizheng. It was half an hour later than usual. ”
Shen Mingjiao sighed and put the futon back on the bed.
Begonia breathed a deep sigh of relief when she saw this.
Shen Mingjiao saw that there was nothing to do in the house, so she thought about going to the beautiful pavilion, and her ready-to-wear shop should also be set up.
……
Compared with the surrounding storefronts, the beautiful pavilion still looks very deserted. Mama Tao carefully wiped the tables and chairs shelves all over the store as usual, looked at the huge store that was extremely deserted, and let out a long sigh.
At this time, she saw Shen Mingjiao leading Begonia in, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
Shen Mingjiao gently raised her hand and helped the person up: "Mama and I don't have to be polite,"
Mama Tao straightened up and asked Shen Mingjiao, "I don't know if the princess came over today?" ”
Shen Mingjiao casually picked up an old dress that had been sitting for a long time and flipped through it: "I plan to renovate the beautiful pavilion and run it well." ”
Mama Tao thought that Shen Mingjiao wanted to reopen this shop because the princess had opened it before, so she smiled with relief:
"It's good, if the princess knows, she will be very happy to come."
Shen Mingjiao smiled when she heard this, but did not explain.
Mama Tao turned to say seriously: "Since the princess plans to take over this shop, the old slave will be relieved, but the old slave is old and is not good at running the shop, and I also ask the princess to hire a more clever shopkeeper at that time." ”
Shen Mingjiao didn't answer her words, but looked at the clean storefront and praised: "Mama has worked hard." ”
Mama Tao replied with a glance: "This is a matter within the slave's share." ”
Shen Mingjiao smiled, when the business in the store was so cold, Mama Tao was able to clean it carefully every day. It's easy to say, but most people have a slack mentality.
Therefore, it can be seen from this point that Mama Tao may not be tactful enough, but she is a determined person.
Such people are often absolutely faithful and able to withstand temptation.
Mama Tao sighed secretly in her heart, this shop is the only thought left to her by the princess, she has been guarding it for so many years, and now she is still very reluctant to leave, so she can't help but ask Shen Mingjiao:
"What is the princess's plan?"
Shen Mingjiao went up to the second floor and said as she walked: "The beautiful pavilion belongs to the most prosperous area of East Street. It's certainly impossible to sell low-end clothing. ”
Mama Tao frowned and said, "But we are opposite the Splendid Fang, and it is not easy to sell high-end ready-to-wear." ”
Shen Mingjiao: "Jinxiufang is the largest ready-to-wear shop in the capital, and the branches have opened many prosperous state capitals in Daxia, so it can be said that in the hearts of many ladies and ladies, Jinxiufang represents not a piece of clothing, but a symbol of luxury. ”
"So we had to find a different way, and although the clothes sold in Fairview were beautiful and sophisticated, they were not suitable for everyone. Some ladies and ladies often take a fancy to a dress, but regret giving up because of the inconsistency of their body shape and temperament. ”
"That's why we open a tailor-made ready-to-wear store to make sure that everyone buys something unique."
Mama Tao frowned and thought: "The princess's idea is good, but it's difficult to do, first of all, if you want to do the kind of private customization that the princess said, then the shop must have a very loud reputation, and it can be accumulated after a long time.
The most important point is that where do we go to find so many beautiful girls who are clever and can design unique clothes for each guest? ”
Shen Mingjiao rummaged through the fabrics that were piled together, and picked out all the ones that she thought were good, the midsummer style was really old,
She plans to let people get a low price in the west of the city to sell at that time, after all, there are dignitaries and dignitaries coming and going on this side of East Street, if you sell things too cheaply, they will feel that they have lost their value.
Hearing Mama Tao's words, she pointed to herself: "I can help guests design clothes!" ”
Mama Tao was helpless, thinking that she was doing it on a whim, so she persuaded her a little bluntly: "But you are alone, princess..."
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand and smiled: "I have already thought about this, we can hold a recruitment meeting for the whole of Daxia at that time, and we can recruit people who can design clothes, regardless of identity, men and women, and it doesn't have to be a showgirl." The top 20 will receive a silver bounty ranging from 3,000 to 500 taels. ”
Mama Tao's eyes lit up, "The princess has a good idea, as soon as this reward comes out, there will be many people who want to participate." ”
Shen Mingjiao smiled: "This is not in a hurry, you have to slowly make a name for yourself first." ”
She asked Mama Tao to sort out the fabrics that could be used, as for the clothes downstairs. Pick out her and look barely good, and the rest will be sold off.
After that, I discussed the decoration and improvement of the store with Mama Tao.
By the time the master and servant came out, it was almost time for lunch. Shen Mingjiao was indeed a little hungry.
However, she didn't want to go back to the palace at this time, so Haitang proposed: "Why don't we go to the west of the city to eat small wontons?" ”
Shen Mingjiao was also a little moved. The two got into the carriage and told the coachman to go to the small food street in the west of the city.
Tie Zhu followed Feng Lisheng to the barracks, so the person in charge of driving the car today is a guy named Yongfu.
Although he is not very smart, but the carriage is very stable.
When I arrived at the small food street in the west of the city, I don't know what day it is today, and the neighborhood is quite lively.
Shen Mingjiao instructed Yongfu to drive the carriage aside, and she and Haitang walked over.
Although Yongfu felt that this seemed inappropriate, it was the princess's order, and she did not dare to disobey it.
Shen Mingjiao and the two went to the familiar wonton stall and ordered two wontons, and the master and servant chatted while eating.
In the crowd not far away, a pair of cold eyes were watching them closely.
After Shen Mingjiao finished eating the wontons, she felt that the time was almost up, so she got up and prepared to go back.
But at this moment, a crazy horse rushed over from nowhere, and the bustling crowd was suddenly scattered, and the scene was chaotic.
Shen Mingjiao and the two were squeezed by the crowd and retreated again and again, seeing that the two were about to be forced to separate, Haitang hurriedly pushed away the person in front of him, and reached out to grab Shen Mingjiao's arm.
saw that Shen Mingjiao was being dragged forward by two men with their arms on their hands.
Haitang's face turned pale with fright, regardless of the direct use of brute force to swing away the crowd. Chase in the direction that Shen Mingjiao left.
