Chapter 107: Horse-faced skirt, satin silk
Jiang Ning was still a little worried before he saw Gu Qingwan.
After all, so many sewing machines can be regarded as a huge amount of money in this era.
She even had a mental plan.
If the money is really not enough at that time, there are a lot of pearls harvested in the Lingbao space recently, and many of them are large and round super high-quality varieties.
She can take some out and sell them, and they can be worth a lot of money.
In this way, it can be regarded as a contribution she has made to this military family compound.
What's more.
In doing so, he was also helping Qin Jiulie solve some worries.
However.
Jiang Ning obviously didn't know anything about Gu Qingwan's wealth.
After listening to what she said, Gu Qingwan looked relaxed, her tone was casual, and she said with a smile.
"I saw that you had been straining your face just now, looking serious and nervous, and I thought it was something big, such as regretting that you didn't want to cooperate with me anymore. It turned out to be such a trivial matter, what was there to be embarrassed to say. ”
"It's just a few sewing machines, it's not much money, don't have any discounts, what installments, I'll send it to you directly."
"Is six or seven enough? Isn't it too little, I remember that there are quite a few people in your military compound. Then let's round it up, how about ten? ”
All of a sudden.
Jiang Ning was stunned.
She had been thinking about it for so long, and when it came to Gu Qingwan's mouth, it became a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.
Then she waved her hand.
- Sent.
Two words, perfect solution.
Besides.
Gu Qingwan also solved Jiang Ning's worries.
She still said sassily.
"Since my grandfather was young, he has been doing business and donating money and materials to the society at the same time, and I have seen it since I was a child, and I have long been used to it."
"Not to mention ten sewing machines, my grandfather once donated ten small yellow croakers. At that time, the person who took the small yellow croaker also left an IOU for our family, and my grandfather turned around and burned the IOU. ”
"He said that the most important thing in doing business is to revitalize the money. Money is flowing, and if you want to make money, you have to spend money, so that wealth and luck can come continuously. ”
After Jiang Ning heard this, he was greatly surprised.
It turns out that the business philosophy of the merchant's house turned out to be like this.
At the same time, she could also hear that Gu Qingwan said so much in order to reduce Jiang Ning's psychological burden.
She donated money and materials, not to save face for Jiang Ning, but just to purely support construction.
"On behalf of the sisters-in-law in our compound, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Under Gu Qingwan's arrangement, the manager and his men of the department store moved all the only ten sewing machines in the inventory to the dark green jeep parked on the side of the road.
The mall manager is also a knowledgeable person.
As soon as he saw that the jeep was military, he immediately asked someone to get a red ribbon and tied it with a big red flower.
Banners were also written, and one was posted on each box.
"Donated by Changlong Department Store".
It's a big red flower again, and it's a banner, and it's very conspicuous at a glance.
The department store is still in a densely populated area, and the surrounding passers-by are watching, and spreading it out is the best word-of-mouth effect.
Jiang Ning watched Gu Qingwan's set of processes, and had to admire her wrist again.
Gu Qingwan didn't care about these things at all.
She dragged Jiang Ning to the third floor of the department store.
Compared with the traces of the last full-ground decoration, the third floor has basically been renovated, and it is full of gorgeous and rich atmosphere.
Even the seats used to entertain guests are velvet.
Many people are afraid that they have never seen such a soft and gorgeous chair in their lives.
Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows, looked proud, and introduced to Jiang Ning.
"It's a nice environment, but I've been watching it from beginning to end, and I've personally checked every design. And you, Anin, are the first guest I entertained. ”
She gave Jiang Ning this identity with special significance.
Jiang Ning looked at everything around him, and he couldn't feel the breath of the era at all.
Even in a trance.
I thought I was back decades later.
"I will not only be your first guest, but also your best partner."
Jiang Ning smiled lightly and said with a tenacious gaze.
"Of course! There's still a place to hang up your personal sign. ”
Gu Qingwan said and smiled at Jiang Ning.
Each saw the similar firmness in each other's eyes.
And then.
Gu Qingwan took out an oil-paper package from under the counter.
"That's what I really want you to see—"
With the oil paper opened.
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up inch by inch.
It was a piece of satin silk cloth, with a gentle luster, soft fabric, and a good texture at first glance.
When Jiang Ning's fingertips touched the surface of the silk, the silk slid off his fingertips like milk.
This is 100% silk!
Only pure handmade can make a delicate feel.
With such a large piece of fabric, I don't know how many silkworms were used and how much labor was used.
The value is immeasurable.
Because the further back on, the less this kind of handmade silk is left.
Jiang Ning was deeply attracted. I was reluctant to take my eyes off for a moment.
"When I decided to get married, my grandfather asked someone to buy it from Shanghai. At that time, I bought a total of two pieces, and the other one was bright red, and it was made into a cheongsam for the wedding dress. This piece was left, and it was still lilac, and I didn't know what to do with it. ”
Gu Qingwan said and laughed softly.
"I originally planned to use it to press the bottom of the box, but I was lucky enough to meet you. A-Ning, you must have an idea, what do you think is appropriate? ”
In Jiang Ning's eyes, there was only a gentle and elegant light purple in front of him.
This kind of purple is very uncommon in everyday clothing.
And quite provocative.
Wear it well and be noble and elegant, but if you don't wear it well, it will be rustic.
It's no wonder that Gu Qingwan doesn't know how to use this piece of fabric.
But in Jiang Ning's mind, he already had the answer.
"Horse-faced skirts."
Gu Qingwan frowned, "Horse what?" ”
Jiang Ning explained as he gently stroked the satin silk.
"The horse-faced skirt is a very popular women's clothing style in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The long skirt has multiple skirt pleats, and has a special one-piece design, but after wearing it, it is composed of four skirt doors inside and outside.
The waist is tied with a tie that can be tied at the side or with a bow at the back of the waist.
Such a good satin, with some embroidered moire, is perfect for this. ”
After listening to such an explanation.
Gu Qingwan actually still doesn't know what the "horse-faced skirt" looks like.
But she believed in Jiang Ning.
"If you say it's appropriate, it's definitely suitable! Now this piece of silk belongs to you, and I am waiting to see the horse-faced skirt you made with your own hands. ”
Jiang Ning would not live up to Gu Qingwan's expectations, and was even more reluctant to waste such a good silk fabric.
If she wants to do it, she must do her best!
