Luo nine needles

Chapter 152 Seeing the Difference

"Tonglou Street..."

In a carriage, a pretty lady raised the curtain to look out, and then shouted to the carriage behind.

"Zhai Siniang, is this here?"

Looking at her on the street again, she looked a little surprised.

"Is Tonglou Street so lively?"

Two gorgeous carriages approached, which were rarely seen on Tonglou Street. People on the street saw them, and some hurriedly avoided them, while others stared curiously and didn't know how to dodge them.

Why are there more people on Tonglou Street?There are also a lot of unruly country people.

Fourth Miss Zhai in the next car raised the curtain to look out, she was also a little surprised: "It wasn't so lively when I came last time."

Sitting next to her was the third miss of the Jiang family, urging: "Don't care if the street is busy or not, go find that embroiderer's shop."

As he spoke, he gave her a sideways glance.

"It's been delayed for so long, I'm afraid I won't have time to wear it for my sister's birthday."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Miss Di Si's face.

At that time, she dropped the fan on purpose, fearing that people would find out that she was using the things Qixing gave her.

When Jiang's family came to ask if she had lost her fan, she was startled, but naturally said she hadn't lost it.

Unexpectedly, there was an even bigger scare later, and Miss Jiang came to the door directly.

"You still say it's not yours?" Third Miss Jiang stuffed the fan into her hand, "Duchasi Huo Dudu said it's yours!"

Duchasi!Holly!

Fourth Miss Zhai almost fainted, why?what happened?It's just a fan, why does it have anything to do with Huo Lian?
Fortunately, Miss Jiang San didn't scare her anymore. Everyone knew how scary Huo Lian was, she could really scare people to death, so she hurriedly told what happened.

"My cousin was asking with a fan, and when he met the Duchasi handling the case, he was recognized. It wasn't that Huo Dudu was staring at the fan on purpose, or it was a coincidence." Third Miss Jiang comforted her.

This seemed to be comforting, but it wasn't too comforting. Miss Zhai Si's face became paler. Does the Inspector know what fan she uses?

Why does Duchasi even stare at her?

"What's the matter? Duchasi's eyes and ears are all over the place, spying." Miss Jiang San said in a low voice, "Everything is staring at everything, everyone is like this. Maybe Duchasi will know what handkerchief I come out today."

So, Fourth Miss Zhai was uneasy, but she was seen through, so she couldn't hide it anymore, and told Qixing about the gift of the fan, Third Miss Jiang was overjoyed, and invited her to Linglongfang.

It has been half a month since you lost your fan in the garden.

"Don't worry." Fourth Miss Zhai hurriedly said to Third Miss Jiang, "I will tell Miss Qixing that even if I stay up all day and night, I won't miss Missy's birthday!"

Speaking of which, he smiled again.

"She doesn't have any other business either. She just concentrates on this one. When the big sister wears it and surprises everyone, she will be able to have more business."

Miss Jiang San nodded: "If it is done well, I will persuade my mother to give her some embroidery business at home."

Fourth Miss Zhai said happily, "That's great."

She was really happy for Miss Qixing. Although the process was a bit unexpected, the result was as Miss Qixing wished. If people saw it, the business came.

"It's almost there." Fourth Miss Zhai leaned forward to look out, pointing to the front, "It's in the corner over there, the deserted one..."

She stopped before she finished speaking, with a puzzled look on her face.

There is a shop in the front corner, but it is not deserted.

There were many people around the door.

This is different from last time, did you remember the wrong location?

The carriage in front has already arrived, stopped, and the ladies looked at the plaque and said: "Xucheng Linglongfang, this is it."

Yes, Fourth Miss Zhai also got out of the car, looked up at the plaque, and then looked at the people around the door.

It's not the kind of idle people gathering, but there is an obvious queue, and you can see the shop through these people, and there are quite a few people at this time.

How is this going?

It's not surprising that the embroidery shop on Jinlou Street is so lively, but this is Tonglou Street, and the people lining up don't look like they're buying embroidery.

They were male and female, most of them were middle-aged and elderly, and their clothes were not as good as the lowest servants in their family.

The three girls who just got out of the car unconsciously covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs or fans. These people have a smell on them.

"Zhai Siniang, is this really an embroidery village?" a lady asked.

Fourth Ms. Zhai looked at the people in the queue who were holding various utensils, some were holding broken boxes, some were carrying broken food boxes...

My God, could it be that the door has been closed because it can't be opened anymore, and it has changed to a grocery store after changing the owner?

Fourth Miss Di didn't care to explain to the ladies, and hurried in.

"Miss Qixing, are you still there?" she shouted.

……

……

"I'm here."

Qixing looked at the girls who came in. The shop was even more crowded.

"Then what's going on here?" Fourth Miss Zhai looked at the other people in the shop, wondering.

At this moment, there were four or five people in the store, and when they saw this group of elegant noble ladies in gold belts and silver, they felt ashamed and hurriedly avoided.

"Guest." Qixing said with a smile.

Will these people buy embroidery?The ladies couldn't help looking at these people. The clothes of these people were made of coarse cloth with almost no embroidery.

impossible.

These people make their own clothes, shoes and socks, so they don't spend money on clothing and accessories, and they just need to wear warm clothes and eat enough.

"What is this?" Fourth Miss Zhai was not so easy to deceive, pointing to a red cloth held in a woman's hand.

The cloth was obviously woven and dyed by herself, and it was very delicate, but only finer. None of the maids around her wore this cloth.

"This is the fabric that the customer wants to cut and embroider." Qixing said, "Her daughter is getting married, so she will make a wedding dress."

Miss Zhai Si was surprised: "This kind of fabric is used for embroidery? Isn't it a waste of craftsmanship?"

Hearing this, the woman subconsciously backed away and said, "No, it's okay, I'm just here to ask."

The wedding dresses of people like them are all made by themselves. It is enough to dye a color or embroider a flower.

But ever since I heard that Linglongfang in Xucheng can turn stones into gold and turn old into new, I inquired about the price, and couldn't help thinking about trying it out. Maybe I could exchange a piece of ordinary cloth for a beautiful wedding dress. Clothes.

She really came to hit her luck.

At this moment, being told by this young lady, the woman felt ashamed and uneasy.

"I, I'm just asking, I'm leaving now." She stammered, holding Bu to leave.

Qixing hurriedly stopped her, but instead of talking to the woman, she smiled at Fourth Miss Zhai and said, "You're underestimating me, what can't I do with my craftsmanship? Don't talk about coarse cloth, even animal skins can be made. Do you believe it or not?"

Seeing the woman's embarrassment, Fourth Miss Zhai also knew that her words were too abrupt, and she was not the kind of mad lady who looked down on the poor and intentionally despised them, so she just blurted out the truth and smiled at Qi Xing's words: "Yes, I believe it. He added, "We are here today to ask you to make embroidered skirts."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Miss Jiang San over.

"It's for her sister's birthday."

Miss Jiang San smiled at Qi Xing: "I have long admired your name." Then she shook the round fan, "This Kingdee is really alive."

Qixing smiled, returned the salute, and said apologetically, "Please wait a moment, while I entertain the guests who came first."

Before the ladies could speak, other guests in the shop had already spoken.

"Shopkeeper, entertain them quickly."

"We're in no rush."

The woman holding the cloth even stepped back again.

"Let's go out and wait."

They know they're doing something, and they don't pay much, just to take advantage of it.

They can't make a lot of money in their business, and they can only make money in the business of wealthy people. They don't want to delay Linglongfang's money.

Fourth Miss Zhai, who was led back by the green pheasant, couldn't help but look back at these guests.

Miss Qixing's business is doing well... a kind of popularity that has never been seen before.

.....
.....
Although it felt like a shabby grocery store in front of the door, Neli Yajian was no worse than the shops they used to visit.

Qingzhi brought a few more brochures, saying that they were some jewelry boxes from Linglongfang, all of which were small and portable, and more exquisite than the usual ones.

The girls flicked through the selection, and came in before they finished reading Qixing, and immediately pointed to the jewelry box they wanted to see in the booklet.

"Some are in stock, and some have to wait." Qixing said apologetically, "There are too many customers in the store now, and the construction period is full."

The ladies were a little disappointed, and Miss Jiang gave Fourth Miss Zhai a resentful look again.

Fortunately, at the request of Fourth Miss Zhai, the white butterfly skirt that Third Miss Jiang wanted was arranged, but it was only this one. Others had to wait if they wanted to do embroidery.

The ladies left with mixed emotions.

Fourth Miss Zhai took a few steps behind and blamed: "Are you stupid? Jewelry and dresses are the big business that makes money."

She could see that in the brochure Qingzhi brought, a small jewelry box was worth a lot.

It must be more expensive than making clothes from a woman's woven and dyed cloth.

Qixing laughed and said, "Small business is also business."

Small business, Ms. Zhai Si still remembers that she said she wanted to start a small business, but it didn't have any business at the beginning, and now there is a better business, why not do it?
Miss Zhai Si said: "If you don't earn a lot of money, I don't know what you are thinking!"

Qixing looked at her: "Big money and small money are all money, we can't distinguish between thick and thin, close or close, love each other, and benefit each other, so the business can last forever."

Ms. Zhai Si thinks she understands but doesn't. Is this about money or people?

In fact, from the very beginning, I felt that Miss Seven Star was different from other embroiderers.

It is reasonable to say that she is a craftsman, and she is considered an inferior person, but she has an extraordinary bearing. Standing in front of her, she does not feel disdainful at all. Instead, she feels peaceful and wants to be close, and sometimes even a little in awe.

That's why she couldn't help but associate with him. If not, according to the past friendship, just give money and kindness.

"Okay, I won't say more." Fourth Miss Zhai shook her fan. The fan had already been taken back from Third Miss Jiang, and she would never throw it away again. She looked at the plaque and the people waiting outside the door , and the ladies who are getting on the bus.

It's only been less than a month, and I still have to wait in line to buy things.

"You really know how to do business." She said, raising her hand as a salute, "The seventh shopkeeper is amazing."

Qixing smiled, and also raised her hand in a salute: "Miss Zhai, take care of business."

Fourth Miss Zhai was amused, when it comes to taking care of...
"Actually, I'm not taking care of the business this time." She hesitated for a while, and whispered into Qixing's ears, "It's Dudu Huo from Duchasi."
