Shu Blossoms

Chapter 152 How to Make Money
Zheng Wei managed to finish the homework assigned by the two masters today, and dragged Liao Wennan out.

Fat Tiger came to play with him several times, but he couldn't go out by himself.

Before going out, Zhao Mingzhi also told Liao Wennan to keep an eye on her and stay in the alley instead of running far.

Liao Wennan smiled and agreed, and then was dragged by Zheng Wei to trot all the way.

Now Zheng Wei's injury is almost healed, otherwise Zhao Mingzhi wouldn't be able to train her like this.

"Brother, hurry up, Fat Tiger can't wait."

Zheng Wei and the others came to the alley, and sure enough they saw Fat Tiger waiting there, Zheng Wei hurriedly ran over and asked anxiously: "How is it, how is it?"

Fat Tiger took out a cloth bag and handed it to her, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Is no one willing to buy it?"

Zheng Wei asked in surprise.

Fat Tiger's face was a little gloomy, "Some of them drove me out when they saw me."

Seeing the ripped clothes on Fat Hu's body, Zheng Wei knew that Fat Hu had been wronged, so she patted Fat Hu's shoulder with a big hand, and comforted him loudly: "Those people are all low-minded fellows, don't pay attention to them, When we make money, we will swagger and throw the money in their faces to avenge you!"

Fat Tiger felt a little relieved when he heard the words, with a smile on his face, and then said: "There are also two shops that saw the painting. I think they like it very much, but they don't want it after hearing the price. Is it because the price you offered is too high?" Taller?"

"No, this is a set of patterns. There are jackets, pleated skirts, accessories, and headgear. Those noble ladies in Wei Dynasty should like it. As long as their business is good, ten taels of silver is nothing. ah!"

Fat Tiger doesn't understand these things. He has been running outside for the past two days without helping Auntie with her work, and if he returns late today, he may be punished with a stick.He waved at Zheng Wei and ran home, Zheng Wei grabbed him and took out a small bag of home-fried crispy meat from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it for him, a little embarrassed said: "I made you run away for nothing these days, Come back to me tomorrow, and I will start teaching you how to punch."

Fat Tiger took the crispy meat with sparkling eyes, squeezed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He squinted his eyes when it was so fragrant, then carefully kicked the rest into his arms, and said excitedly: "Tomorrow, I will help my mother finish the job." I will find you for work!"

Then he ran away in a hurry.

Zheng Wei took out a thick stack of papers from the cloth bag, and sighed in disappointment.

Liao Wennan took it curiously and looked, it turned out to be some of Da Zhou's Ruqun patterns, these patterns are very novel, Zheng Wei's paintings are very detailed and lifelike.

Liao Wennan looked it over, and asked Zheng Wei in surprise, "Did you stay up all night drawing these days ago?"

Zheng Wei nodded dejectedly.

"You sneaked out the day before yesterday to give these to Fat Tiger?"

Zheng Wei nodded again, she was afraid that Liao Wennan would be angry, so she explained weakly: "I still owe old man Luo a hundred gold, these days my food and clothing are all yours, brother, I have to find a way to earn money. Thinking of how hard it is to earn money!"

Liao Wennan put his arm around Zheng Wei's shoulders, walked back and said with a smile: "There are not as many shops on this floor as there are on our side, and the women's families of the aristocratic families all use their own tailors and embroiderers, and never order outside. Making clothes. There are only a few cloth shops in Pingcheng that make ready-made clothes, and they are all doing business from well-to-do small households. Naturally, they dare not accept your pretentious appearance."

Hearing this, Zheng Wei looked at the exquisite portraits in his hands, imagining how complicated and gorgeous they would be when they were made into clothes, and tentatively said: "Brother, you mean these clothes are too complicated and luxurious that people who make clothes can't afford them?"

Liao Wennan nodded, Zheng Wei thought for a while and said, "Then if I draw some simple and novel looks, will they be able to sell?"

"Actually, you don't have to redraw them. These looks are excellent in themselves. I can't help but like them when I see them. As long as the people wearing them are right, no one will buy them!"

Liao Wennan smiled mysteriously.

Zheng Wei hugged Liao Wennan's arm curiously and asked, "Brother, do you have a way to earn money? Tell me quickly!"

Liao Wennan teased her, "Tell you, what benefits do I have?"

Zheng Wei thought about it seriously, "Have you earned half of the money!"

At this moment, the two turned out of the alley, and when Zheng Wei looked up, he seemed to see a familiar figure flashing past into the alley ahead.

Zheng Wei was stunned for a moment, then let go of Liao Wennan's arm and ran a few steps, looking into the alley, there was no one there.

Standing at the entrance of that alley, she was a little lost.

Liao Wennan chased after her and asked her worriedly, "What's the matter, what did you see?"

Zheng Weiqiang shook his head with a smile, "Maybe he's homesick, but his eyes are dazzled."

Liao Wennan saw that her face was drooping like a frost-battered eggplant, so he put his arms around her shoulders and asked with a smile, "Don't want to know that way?"

"I think, bro, tell me quickly!"

Liao Wennan nodded his little nose, and said in a low voice, "You are also a princess with food after all, how did you become a little money fan?"

"A penny can't beat a hero!" Zheng Wei looked up to the sky and sighed.

The two gradually walked away again, and Zheng Heng, Yuan Wang and Liu Yuan returned to the small rented courtyard. Yuan Wang and Liu Yuan were lamenting that they did not expect that their doctor Luo lived only one street away from them. It's just a pity that I didn't find out the whereabouts of the princess.

Zheng Heng suddenly opened the courtyard door shortly after closing it, and stood in the alley looking left and right.

Yuan Wang and Liu Yuan were a little surprised

"I think your idea is to make a lot of money while the ladies of Shangyuan Festival are buying their outfits, but there are less than ten days left. Even if there is a way, it may be too late."

Liao Wennan frowned and expressed her worry.

"Brother, let's listen first!"

"We need the help of Doctor Luo for this matter." Liao Wennan pulled Zheng Wei back to the small courtyard, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Zheng Wei's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this, she ran into the room shouting, "Master, help me carve some puppets!"

After a while, Zhao Mingzhi threw a few pieces of wood to her, "Carve it yourself!"

"Master, I need it urgently!" Zheng Wei said anxiously, "I don't know how to carve it, how ugly it is!"

Zhao Mingzhi didn't allow her to refute, so he sat on the side and carved it first.

Zheng Wei watched his thick but flexible hands fluttering over the wood, and gradually realized something, and she also started to carve slowly.

Liao Wennan made clothes for the puppet according to Zheng Wei's portrait, the two of them worked all night and three dolls in exquisite Chinese clothes were finished.

Zheng Wei asked Luo Yan to bring him into the palace, but Luo Yan refused, "Boy, what are you planning, don't hurt me!"

"Do you still want that hundred gold?" Zheng Wei leaned to Luo Yan's side and said a few words in a low voice, Luo Yan asked suspiciously, "Can it be done?"

"Don't worry, I'm just presenting a few dolls. Originally, it would be better to make a ready-made suit for you to present, but now it's too late, so I can only be in such a hurry."

Hearing this, Luo Yan glared at Zheng Wei, "I'm a doctor, even if you make a Ruqun palace dress, I won't be able to bring it in!"

But in the end he took the doll and carried it with him.

Today is the day to go to see Empress He Lai for a follow-up visit. If there is nothing wrong with Empress He Lai this time, he will not have to enter the palace in the future.

Soon someone from the palace came to pick up Luo Yan, Zheng Wei clenched her hands nervously, and when Luo Yan left, she quickly changed her clothes, told Sanping and Tong'er to look after the house, and then went out with Liao Wennan.
