Shen Qian nodded. "It’s true that the customers we want to face in Jinyifang are those who have some money. The price can’t be lower. Although the profit is not high, it is still very helpful for us to make a name for ourselves."
Meng Xiaoran nodded. She bit her lip and looked at him. "Shen Qian, I know that your situation is not as hard as it used to be. In fact, you don’t have to do this. I know that you must have a lot of other things to do. It is really unnecessary to put so much energy into a new clothing shop."
Shen Qian looked forward and smiled. "You should be very clear about what I do." Then he turned to look at Meng Xiaoran.
"Shinohara, this jinyifang is our common effort, and I cherish it. It is in an important position with me at all times, and I value it as much as you do."
Meng Xiaoran didn’t speak. She knew that her heart had softened gradually, and that line of defense was slowly collapsing, but she didn’t dare to face her. She was afraid that she would give her heart again this time, and as a result, she really couldn’t stand being hit again.
She doesn’t talk, Shen Qian doesn’t force her, so they sit in the teahouse and watch people come and go outside.
Jinyifang finally became popular. Although they had some fame before, most of them were broadcast in the circle of rich people. This time, the whole Yunzhou city knew about it. Nowadays, when people think of making ready-made clothes, they first think of Jinyifang.
There are not only fashionable and exquisite workmanship, but also many pieces of the same clothes with different sizes can be tried on in the wing of the store. This way is convenient and time-saving, and it is very popular. At one time, all major clothing stores learned it, but people have the concept of taking the lead. Now it is a little more formal. When you need to buy clothes, everyone thinks of Jinyifang.
Meng Xiaoran hasn’t been idle these days. Most of the days are drawing drafts. Since the Soong wore her red plum dance and went to the banquet of the county lady, the number of people who came to the Jinyifang to customize it has increased. Most of them are the wives of officials and officials in Yunzhou City, and there are some rich and respectable businessmen.
One, they are still a set of two sets of customization. After Meng Xiaoran completes the delivery, those ladies look happy, so they want to make a few dresses for all the girls in the house with a wave of their hands, so this list will be more.
Meng Xiaoran can’t agree on a half-month construction period with each family. In the past two months, she has been drawing drafts and designing color schemes every day except eating and sleeping. Shen Qian helped her and spent a lot of money to invite several famous embroidered mothers from Jiangnan to come and put them in the backyard of Jinyifang to make these custom clothes for Meng Xiaoran.
After being so busy for a month or two, I am finally at leisure, but I don’t take two orders every day. When I am free, Meng Xiaoran draws more drafts, so I don’t have to catch up with work every day. If I want to rest occasionally, I can have no worries.
Just after breakfast this day, Du Fu came in with a post and said to Meng Xiaoran, "The Lord Shen Fu sent an invitation."
Shenfu? The cloud could now besides Shen Qian home should also have no other Shen Fu. She took the post and took a look. It was indeed the Soong who invited her to dinner three days later. She went to have a look and it turned out to be Shen Qian’s birthday banquet.
"Three days later, it was the sixth day of June, so his birthday was that day." Meng Xiaoran muttered with an invitation.
She nodded to Du Fu. "Okay, I get it. Go out and get busy."
After Du Fu left, Meng Xiaoran couldn’t help sighing. She had known Shen Qian for so long that she didn’t seem to know his birthday. If she knew it this time, it seemed unreasonable not to give a gift, but what should she give?
Chapter one hundred and sixteen Birthday party
Meng Xiaoran took the invitation and went to the window table to sit. What should I send?
What have people like Shenyang not seen? She can’t afford to send those precious things to her. Finally, she put the invitation together on the table, got up and went out. She might as well go out and have a look at something after thinking hard at home.
At this thought, she made up her mind and finally went outside the street with Lily. Birds and flowers are fragrant, which is also very suitable for going out for a walk. It is not too noticeable. She still wears a hat curtain so that she can see everything here more conveniently.
In fact, Shen Qian never had a birthday for so many years, and he didn’t do it so wantonly, mainly because the Song felt guilty. For so many years, she and Shen Yu both traveled abroad and never had a birthday party for her only son, and he went to Moganshan to study at the age of 10 and didn’t come back until he was ten. It seems that there will be a small birthday party at home every year before the age of 10.
It’s the sixth day of June this year, which coincides with the fact that both of them are in Yunzhou, and naturally they want to hold a big event. By the way, this Yunzhou is expensive to get acquainted with.
Shen Qian dissuaded him from finally being good. He saw that the Soong was very active in thinking about making her happy, so he let her go.
On the sixth day of June, the weather was beautiful and the sun was shining. In the early morning, the door of Shenfu was full of excitement. There was an endless stream of guests. Meng Xiaoran came over in a carriage with azaleas and lilies. The carriage was far away and stopped.
Du Fu lifted the side curtain and found that it was not at the gate of Shenfu. It was a little strange. "Girl, why did you stop before you got to Shenfu?"
"Go outside and see what’s going on."
Du Fu lifted the curtain and went out. Soon she came back. Some nai smiled at Meng Xiaoran. "Girl, the gate of Shenfu is full of carriages here. We can walk from here."
Meng Xiaoran’s smell speech is instantly clear. It seems that Shenyang is also very popular in Yunzhou. Or Yunzhou, your family wants to get to know this once imperial merchant.
"Then let’s go. The carriage will stop here with gifts."
Meng Xiaoran, the master and servant, paid attention to the carriage. Today, she specially wore a new pink dress. She never dressed up on weekdays. Today, she also asked Lily to make up her makeup carefully. Even her least favorite jewelry was worn.
Without whitewashing, she has a truly beautiful appearance. Now, after careful decoration, she is more elegant, more noble and less free and easy.
"Who is this young lady? Why haven’t you seen it? "
"Yes, such a beautiful young lady doesn’t know whose girl has been hiding anything …"
"Cloud city has never seen such a beautiful …"
Meng Xiaoran walked by and talked about it. She looked up at the crowd and was gentle and gentle for her moment. Everyone showed tolerance, which had to make people more curious about her identity.
Meng Xiaoran walked to the door of Shen Fu and nodded to Shen San, who was standing at the door. "I am Meng Xiaoran who was invited by my wife to come to dinner." Lily said and handed the invitation.
Who knows Shen San immediately smiled and gave a hand, "Meng girl doesn’t have to be like this. Shen San has seen your wife and specially told you to go to the front office to find her Feng wench and take Meng girl to the front office."
The so-called "Phoenix Girl" is Shen San’s granddaughter Xiaofeng, who is now twelve years old and has been working in the house. When she saw Meng Xiaoran, she was obviously so surprised that she looked at her until Shen San called her out. She immediately blushed and saluted Meng Xiaoran’s blessing.
Meng Xiaoran looked at such a lovely little girl and smiled at her gently. Xiaofeng also smiled at her and turned around to lead the way.
Shen Fu Meng Xiaoran has been here once before, and the front hall is the main courtyard drawing room. Presumably, the Soong is there to receive ladies and ladies. All the way to the front hall, Xiaofeng whispered a few words to the girl outside the door, looked at Meng Xiaoran’s direction and nodded and went in.
Soon she came out again and bowed politely to Meng Xiaoran. "Mrs. Meng, please go in."
Meng Xiaoran nodded as she went in. Rhododendron and Lily were taken aside to drink tea in the slant hall, waiting for her to enter the main hall alone. As soon as she approached, she heard a burst of laughter. As soon as she entered, the Soong saw it.
After seeing her costume today, she couldn’t help but smile and wave to her "Shinohara, come and come."
Meng Xiaoran went to the middle to salute her blessing. "Xiao Xiaoran has seen aunt and ladies."
Everyone here is either a powerful lady in Yunzhou City or a Shenyang business partner. They all look at Meng Xiaoran and are full of surprises, speculating about the identity of this girl.
I have already asked the mouth "Oh, Mrs. Shen, whose young lady is this? She is so beautiful that she calls me this woman."
It is Zhang, another wealthy businessman in Yunzhou, who has always been a "outspoken" image, but who doesn’t know that she is a smiling tiger?
The Song family beckoned Meng Xiaoran to come to her side. Meng Xiaoran was dressed very exquisitely today. She was quite satisfied with Meng Xiaoran when she saw the surprise in everyone’s eyes. She was even more satisfied with Meng Xiaoran knowing wisely. She was still worried that the child would come over as usual, even though she was good-looking, but too casual.
Obviously, she is dressed up and wearing new clothes today, which is a respect for Shen Fu and also gives the Song family a face. All this greatly pleases the Song family. She pulls Meng Xiaoran and smiles and says to everyone, "She is my modest friend and sister, and I am very congenial."
In the eyes of everyone, she went on to say, "Don’t you know that this dress is what she made for me? This girl is ingenious. I don’t know why there are so many new ideas in her mind. I just can’t put it down. I like everything."
This sentence is like throwing a stone into the water and immediately breaking the calm. All the ladies and gentlemen’s clothes are made by the Jinyifang, which was recommended by the Song family. So this girl is the owner of the Jinyifang?
Businessmen in big commercial countries are not despised as in other countries, mainly because the country has relied on businessmen for so many years, and the status of imperial merchants will be so high. No matter who they are, they will be polite. Although Shenyang is no longer an imperial merchant now, after all, people will naturally give them some face when they still have connections.
This girl is the owner of Jinyifang and is close to the Song family. Naturally, everyone will not underestimate her. She just heard that it was Shen Qianyou’s sister. At that time, everyone didn’t feel anything. At this moment, looking at Meng Xiaoran’s eyes has changed. This change is just a blink.
Meng Xiaoran knew that the Soong’s remarks were made, and she couldn’t help smiling at her gratefully. After the Soong patted her hand, all the ladies eagerly asked if they could make some more clothes for them when they were in this brocade workshop. Many people would talk about new clothes all year round, and many people booked custom orders for the next few months.
Meng Xiaoran’s heart was funny. She attended a banquet, but after a cup of tea, she received seven customized summer shirts. Although Yunzhou has four seasons like spring, there are some differences in each season. In summer, girls love to wear Ruan Yanluo, which is light and breathable.
After talking for a long time, the Song family took everyone to the back garden to enjoy flowers. Many peonies were planted in the back garden of the Song family. At this time, it was a good time to enjoy flowers. A group of ladies and gentlemen were also eye-opening to see so many precious peonies. It was a fact that although the Shenyang family fell down, their financial resources were still here, and even they had a lot of possessions outside for so many years. Otherwise, how could they be so luxurious?
In fact, Meng Xiaoran doesn’t agree with Shen Fu’s high profile. Although everything here is brought back by Shen Yu now, it is not in the original property, but if it is too publicity, it is not good for the emperor to be held accountable and afraid.
After drinking tea and swimming around the garden, it was almost time for the banquet. The Soong took all the people back to the main hall. The banquet was ready for men and women to divide seats, while sitting on the screen, listening to the men’s seats and the women’s seats, it was quiet. Everyone didn’t say anything and didn’t eat much. Soon, the banquet was over.
