Lu Yuanyuan pulled Ding Ling to the front hall.

"What is this?"

Ding Ling spoke slowly.

"Today is my father's birthday."

After Lu Yuanyuan explained a little, he pulled her to walk in from the side.

In the hall, singing and dancing are leveled and staggered.

There was laughter.

"You sit here, I'll go say hello to my daddy."

Lu Yuanyuan placed her in his place, and then got up and left.

Ding Ling sat in his position alone and didn't say a word.

On such occasions, it is better to talk less.

But Ding Ling didn't take the initiative to speak, which doesn't mean that no one will talk to her.

Not far away, there were a few people looking at Ding Ling and feeling angry.

Whispered.

"I don't know who this girl is? It's very raw! ”

A man couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

Ding Ling, who heard this, had a polite smile on his face and said, "I am the owner of the cloth shop and I was invited by Miss Lu to come. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those people changed.

Looking at Ding Ling's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little more contempt.

Merchants in ancient times had a low status.

What's more, Ding Ling is still a woman.

Ding Ling raised his head to meet their discriminatory gaze, without a trace of dodge.

What is there to be ashamed of making money and living a good life on your own?

"No wonder, merchant."

Ding Ling frowned, his expression a little displeased.

Because they look at themselves again and again with unfriendly eyes.

"Childe, you look at people very uneducated."

"What do you mean?"

One of the men almost got on the scene.

The friend next to him grabbed the man in time, and his expression should be something to admonish.

You must know that this is the birthday of the city lord.

Disrupting the birthday banquet is not good for everyone at all.

"What's wrong with the merchant? It's still hard work, relying on ability to live. ”

Ding Ling is not afraid of trouble.

I've endured it just now.

But they're too much.

"So what? A businessman is a scumbag. ”

"That's it!"

"Rich and amazing? Still not as respected as us scholars! ”

Ding Ling's words made those men break their defenses.

So they replied one after another.

"Everyone is good at different fields, and some people are good at reading, so they get fame and serve the country. Some people are good at martial arts, so they fight on the battlefield to defend their families and the country. I knew how to do business, so I made money as a merchant, and I still paid taxes to fill the treasury, and provided the people with cheap and useful goods. ”

"I don't feel like I'm superior, I don't feel like I'm inferior. We are all the same ordinary people, and no one is more noble than the other. ”

The voice fell.

The men were dumbfounded, and their expressions seemed to be a little admiring when they came to their senses.

At this time, the birthday feast officially began.

In order, everyone stepped forward to give gifts in turn, and said various blessings.

"I don't know what birthday gift this girl prepared for the city lord?"

Someone deliberately provoked trouble, looked at Ding Ling and said.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by this side.

Lu Yuanyuan, who was standing next to the city lord, was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to speak to relieve Ding Ling from the siege.

Today, she called Ding Linglai and did not inform her father about his birthday.

I just thought that she would come to help the city lord measure the size and go back to customize a new dress as a gift.

Ding Ling stood up first, and then slowly walked to the center.

In a calm tone, he said: "The folk girl has the courage to prepare a thin gift, and I hope that the city lord will accept it with a smile." ”

Lu Yuanyuan, who heard this, was a little surprised.

She looked outside, and soon Zhou Xiaomei came in with the two female workers.

They were holding the box in both hands.

"Open."

After the box was opened, Ding Ling stepped forward and took out his clothes.

It is a new dark blue men's dress, and it is also embellished with gold threads around it.

It looks understated, but it's luxurious.

In fact, Ding Ling had been prepared for a long time.

That day, when Lu Yuanyuan invited himself to the City Lord's Mansion.

She was keenly aware that something was wrong, so she asked people to investigate.

guessed the thoughts of Lu Yuanyuan's daughters, so he spent more time making men's clothes.

For this reason, Ding Ling also deliberately went to the shop that usually provided clothes for the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the size.

Fortunately, the bet was right.

"Daddy, try it!"

Lu Yuanyuan stepped forward and took the coat from her hand.

Then he walked over to the lord of the castle and helped him put it on.

"This is the person my daughter specially invited, and the clothes in their shop are particularly beautiful, which are different from the clothes made by ordinary shops, so my daughter thought of making you a new dress as a birthday gift."

The city lord who heard the words smiled from ear to ear, and looked very happy.

"Yuanyuan has a heart!"

Lu Yuanyuan also smiled, "It's good if my father likes it." ”

The clothes worn on the lord of the city are the same as those made to be made.

"Beautiful! It seems that the old man is particularly energetic! Also, the size is perfect! ”

It was the lord's wife who spoke.

Usually the city lord's wife is very picky, but today she took the initiative to praise this dress.

"yes, Daddy looks like he's ten years younger!"

Lu Yuanyuan also hurriedly continued to pat himself.

Listening to the nice words, the city lord smiled happily.

"Well, the clothes are superbly well done! Twenty taels of gold! ”

The lord of the city is also generous.

Ding Ling was overjoyed in his heart, and it seemed that he was worthwhile for the trip.

"Thank you, City Lord!"

The guests next to him were very blushing.

Such an honor is not available to everyone.

And it was a businesswoman who won the favor of the city lord.

The reputation of the cloth shop is famous, and now it is not only popular among the people.

Those rich and noble families also went to the cloth shop to buy.

"Boss Ding, you're finally back!"

Zhang Qing saw Ding Ling bring people back, as if he had seen a savior.

When she first came in, she had already seen the scene outside.

The clothes in the cloth shop were basically swept away.

But there are still many people waiting in line outside the door.

"The clothes are sold out, and the women in the backyard are working non-stop to make them, but the supply is still in short supply."

Zhang Qing told the truth about the situation.

But Ding Ling wrote lightly: "Let's go out of business." ”

Zhang Qing and the others who heard the words were stunned.

"Now that the business is just right, is it really going to close?"

Someone speaks out the doubts in their hearts.

But Ding Ling nodded solemnly.

"Go ahead, Boss Ding must have a reason for doing this."

Zhang Qing was a person who could see through and said to the clerk.

Both of them spoke like this, and they naturally couldn't say anything more when they worked.

So he went to work.

The sudden closure of the cloth shop provoked many people to inquire.

But Ding Ling had already instructed all employees, no matter who asked, they would all answer that they didn't know.

.......

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Wenshan watched Ding Ling sitting in the courtyard sluggishly and took the initiative to step forward.

"I'm thinking about new styles."

This is a good opportunity, and Ding Ling doesn't want to miss it.

But the key issue is innovation.

Now it has attracted the attention of those big families, but the clothing style is still the same, and the business will definitely not be good for long.
