In order to show the importance of the guests to the banquet, today Shi Niang opened the main hall hospitality, but although this heavy courtyard is majestic, Liang Yuhuihong, and the arrangement is also full of flowers, but because of the lack of a little bit of natural landscape of flowers and stones, it is inevitable to lose interest, and the owner Jin Wang and his wife are still young, especially most of the guests on the main hall table, in terms of age, compared to the two ancestors, the guests are inevitably a little cramped, He Ye, the host obviously does not like to communicate with the elderly, after a few rounds of wine, His Royal Highness showed some interest, The guests had no choice but to pretend to pay attention to the singing and dancing outside the hall, and the atmosphere became more and more cold.
The table was simply withdrawn, but the party did not end, but the place was transferred to the East Garden, where the peach and plum are blooming brightly, the lotus leaves in the Fuqu are fresh and green, and there are Peony Pavilion, Begonia Pavilion and other pavilions for sitting and talking, and they are not confined to a certain hall, so that the guests can play and laugh, which is more interesting than sitting and drinking.
He Ye wanted to maintain his appearance of not learning and greedy for fun, and could not talk about military politics with people such as Liu Ren and Meng Gong, in fact, he was a little bored for a long time.
Many noble family owners, but Liu Ren was "anti-guest-oriented" to entertain them, Lu Li was on the side, and he didn't play around, all in the Begonia Pavilion, talking about the political affairs of the court and the current situation in Jinshuo.
For example, Meng Feidi's generation was entertained by Ruan Ling and Yin Shen, and there were also those who talked about political affairs, those who enjoyed the scenery and tea, and those who continued to drink and have fun.
The ladies all followed the princess of Jin, first sat in the water pavilion of Fuqu, admired the peach and plum competition, tasted pastries and tea fruits, and talked about the topics between women.
This side of the Fu Canal, although not compared to the Daming Palace in the Taiye Pond smoke waves, the area is several times larger than the lotus pond of the Jade Guanju, along the embankment not only has the peach plum cherry willow surrounding, but also raised some peacock white cranes, look like a fairyland.
Eleven Niang not only let the musicians dance with the drums, but only let the few leaves in the Fuqu boat, lightly divide the floating leaves and paddle around, the man in white on the boat has a clear flute sound, and the daughter in the red dress sings softly, listening to it from a distance across the water, this flute song has both worldly interest and seems to be the spirit of the fairy pipe.
By her side, she was surrounded by Ting and waiting for Ji Mei, so that the clothes of the wives and concubines of the Jin Palace's mansion today once again aroused heated discussions among the women.
"The princess's shawl, but at a glance it can be seen that it must be embroidered by Nizhen, but I don't know who the embroidery on the clothes of Qin Ruren and Ren Meiren came from. Mrs. Xu said first.
Qin Ji smiled and responded: "The dresses worn by the concubines are all made by Nizhen Clothing Workshop, and the embroiderers are all from the hands of Qiao Niang." โ
"The embroidery on the dresses of all the ladies, none of them fall into the common customs, it is ingenious, which makes people very curious, and I can't help but guess whether the manuscript is painted by the princess?" Meng Jiu's sister-in-law Yuan Shi was particularly lively at this time: "But if I take a closer look, it doesn't seem to be like the princess's brushwork, could it be that this pattern is also painted by Qiao Niang in the mouth?" โ
Eleven Niang yelled at her: "It's Qiao Niang's painting...... The reason why Ni Zhen Clothing Workshop was very famous in Chang'an at that time was, of course, the skill of 'paving cui' was extremely rare, and secondly, Qiao Niang's father-in-law Liang shopkeeper, knew how to tailor clothes, which was also a stunt of him, depending on the guest's temperament, he could know which style was more able to set off, even the clothing to the color, and even the shawl skirt waist and other accessories, a set of good matches, and then decorated by Qiao Niang's embroidery, so that a set of clothes can be extraordinary. โ
"Hearing the princess say this, even those of us who are old and decrepit can't help but be tempted, no wonder the young daughters-in-law can't wait, I just don't know when Ni Zhen Clothing Shop will open for business in Jinyang City." Mrs. Zhen said with a smile.
Princess Jin has repeatedly shown everyone the extraordinary things about Ni Zhen embroidery, the intention can be described as obvious, don't say that Mrs. Zhen and other noble ladies are indeed keen on dressing up, that is, they have really become "dead ashes", as long as they are determined to follow the new policy, they must also be cheered.
"The site is optimistic, it is still being renovated, and it will have to wait until July, but if you are interested, it will not hinder the customization at the moment."
As soon as she said this, everyone became more interested, and it was Meng Jiu's sister-in-law who asked: "I'm not afraid of the princess's jokes, the concubine is a poor person, I don't know what is the price of this set of dresses in the Nizhen Clothing Workshop?" โ
"It's a lot to talk about." Although Shi Niang saw Mrs. Mao and Chen Junjun with disapproving faces, the latter was even more stilted, as if on such an occasion, talking about these gold and silver mundane affairs was defiling her, but Shi Niang did not accommodate Chen's thoughts: "For example, my shawl is embroidered by Qiao Niang herself, and she uses the technique of paving cui, and the price is 500,000 yuan." โ
took Tinger's hand beside him again: "Another like the sixth sister, this dress is set by the shopkeeper Liang, Qiao Niang embroidery, a set of dresses is counted as accessories, and the price will cost millions of dollars." โ
It's a money grab, right!!
Mrs. Mao's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say: "The princess's business is very profitable, cutting a set of dresses, the clothes are self-prepared, just consuming manual work, and you have to charge millions of dollars?!" โ
"Qiao Niang embroidery, rare in the world, is not comparable to the ordinary, although she has also trained a lot of embroiderers, in the end can not be compared with her." Eleven Niang smiled slightly: "Ni Zhen Clothing Workshop also has ready-made embroidery samples for everyone to choose, but these, it is not Qiao Niang's own embroidery, such as shawls, the price of 50,000 yuan is enough, and another set of dresses only needs 200,000 yuan." โ
"That's a bit expensive, usually make a set of clothes in the clothing workshop, and the salary is a thousand dollars." Chen finally couldn't help but say.
"You can't say that, the price of a thousand dollars is just to cut a set of shirts and robes, but there is no need to embroider patterns, such as the ordinary dresses of the county king, they must be made by embroiderers at home, will they go to the outside clothing workshop to spend thousands of dollars to cut? At present, if you hire an embroidery girl with excellent craftsmanship, the salary will cost at least more than 100,000 yuan a year, and you have to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation. A woman immediately retorted, as if she was Taiyuan Zhen's in-laws, and it was naturally unpleasant to look at Chen.
"Whether it is 500,000 yuan to order a shawl or a million yuan to order a dress, Nizhen Clothing Workshop will ensure that the embroidery samples used will never be similar." Eleven Niang emphasized.
She is not afraid of being "plagiarized" by others, because the thread color used in Nizhen embroidery is controlled by Qiao Niang, and even if others can imitate its shape, it will inevitably be lost/refined.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "Although it is expensive, it is also worth the money, so I will take the opportunity to report today and order a set of tailor-made dresses." โ
Mrs. Zhen is not far behind: "My two daughters-in-law and I also make a set of each, tailor-made but it's just that, and you don't need to embroider it by hand, don't hide it from the princess, my little daughter-in-law, but also draw two strokes, you can supply your own patterns, just embroider it in Ni Zhenfang." โ
Three sets of dresses cost three million yuan, but Mrs. Zhen's usual habits are not so magnificent, she only feels that it costs 600,000 yuan, and she can also have a gorgeous dress that seems to be paved with greenery, which is still acceptable.
Even though she was so low-key, she didn't expect to be picked on by the three women of her family: "The princess please forgive the concubine for talking too much, the queen mother has repeatedly warned the nobles not to be extravagant, the princess opened a clothing shop, but the fee is so expensive, it seems to be ...... It does not conform to the Queen Mother's opinion. โ
"Chen Junjun is too worried, the Queen Mother's ban on extravagance is aimed at many nobles in Beijing in order to compare with each other, and they do not hesitate to use coins to pave the wall, build walls with gold bricks, etc., and spend millions of dollars to tailor dresses, which is not yet among them, otherwise in Chang'an City, I am afraid that many shops will close their doors, which is not a prosperous weather." Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Since the war is urgent, the business in Jinyang City has withered, in order to alleviate the financial worries, I do intend to revitalize the commercial market, the name of Nizhen Clothing Workshop, will also become a banner of Jinyang Commercial Market in the future, and the benefits of the clothing workshop, in addition to maintaining the necessary expenses and turnover, I will also use all the money for governance and military supplies, although it seems to be a drop in the bucket, but the so-called does not accumulate small streams, there is no way to become a river...... Therefore, the promotion of Nizhen embroidery is not contrary to the imperial decree. โ
Princess Jin actually promised in public that she would donate the profits of Nizhen Clothing Workshop to official business? !
Mrs. Zhen gritted her teeth: "Since tailoring dresses can not only modify yourself, but also help the war and political situation, then of course the concubine body must be fully supported, and the three sets of dresses will also be handed over to Nizhen Yifang to make it." โ
Meng Jiu's sister-in-law sighed: "It's a pity, the concubine is poor and short-minded, even if she has the heart to help, she really can't take out the money, no matter what, she can buy a shawl of 50,000 yuan, gritting her teeth." โ
made her mother, Mrs. Wang, angry, and poked her finger into her head: "Even if the world knows that although your mother's family is famous, you have always been thrifty, you don't have to cry poor when you see people, okay, okay, your dress, my mother will pay for you, okay?" โ
Meng Jiu's sister-in-law smiled: "The concubine doesn't dare to take advantage of the million dollars, but fortunately, she can draw two strokes, and the tricks are not worried, and the mother only needs to spend 200,000 yuan." โ
"So, Jiu'er, you're saving me money?" Mrs. Wang couldn't laugh or cry.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the water pavilion was particularly warm, and many young girls said that they wanted to order clothes, of course, not everyone could throw millions, but the shawls of 50,000 yuan were very popular.
Eleven Niang actually didn't expect that she would promote on-site sales today, so she had to let a few maids from Binu record everyone's "applications" one by one, of course, it was not good for Liang Song to come over to collect money and "measure" now, and promised to start processing these orders starting tomorrow.
Mrs. Mao looked at it and said in her heart that it was just a thing for clothing, and it was not indispensable, so it was worth paying attention to?
She didn't expect that it would not be long before she had a set of dresses embroidered by Qiao Niang of Ni Zhen Fang, which seemed to have become a sign of the dignity of Da Zhou women.
