Xianggui

Ding Xiang told several elders this spring that Ding Xiang wanted to open the Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion. Mrs. Zhang was extremely incredible, her eyes were as big as a bull's-eye.

"Can our family open an embroidery shop? Xiangxiang is joking."

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao didn't like to hear these words.

Ding Zhao said angrily, "Xiangxiang is so smart, she can open an embroidery shop if she wants to."

Ding Zhuang said, "I trust my granddaughter, just tell me how much start-up capital Xiangxiang needs, and I will take it."

"Startup capital" is of course also a special language of Clove.

Since the incident at home, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao can listen to most of Ding Xiang's suggestions.

Ding Xiang drew more than a dozen patterns of colorful bracelets, saying that she thought of them based on the nets Zhang made.

Mrs. Zhang was amazed.This is indeed very similar to the knot she made up, but not exactly the same.How could Xiangxiang think of it, but she didn't?

After thinking about it, I felt relieved.Not only she didn't think of it, so many embroiderers didn't think of it.

Lilac can draw, but she can't weave most of them.Through continuous "discussion" with Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Yang, the two ancient women were ingenious and handy, and jointly developed more than a dozen different ways of weaving colored bracelets that are different from the world.

There are also two colored bracelets specially designed for men, which are derived from the diamond knot and the snake knot.Simple and not fancy, it is mainly composed of black, red and yellow, and then stringed with gold beads or sandalwood agarwood beads engraved with the words "Fu", "Shou", "Li" and "Bamboo", which are alternative and beautiful. Different from cookie-cutter beads.

The beads are all specially made in the silver building in the county seat, which is relatively expensive.

All the compiled things are put away, so that outsiders cannot see them, and they will be taken out when the shop is opened.

He also took silk thread to Zhang Yu, who was good at tying nets just like Mrs. Zhang, and asked her to weave the nets and colorful bracelets that are available in the market.I gave the Zhao mother-in-law and daughter-in-law some silk thread and plain silk, and they embroidered well.

The finished product is handed over to Mrs. Zhang, who pays for the work.

When they heard that Mrs. Zhang wanted to set up an "embroidery stall", they were very envious.

Now there are two big boxes for all kinds of nets, colorful bracelets, and embroidery, and the colorful colors are very beautiful.

So far, those things have cost more than 100 taels of silver.

The family definitely couldn't afford a shop, so when the time came, they would rent a two-story shop in the county.

Although Linshui County is only a county seat, it has a wharf, and there are many people traveling from south to north. It is easier to do business than the inland state capital, and it is easier to accept strange things.

Thinking of having spent so much money and renting a shop in the county, Mrs. Zhang's heart trembled.

Business is good, but what if it's not good?
I was worried secretly, so I worked harder to weave the net, so that if I lost money, I could reduce the loss.

At the end of noon, Yang Hu came back with two big baskets.

Ding Xiang looked at it, and found that the silk thread was of good quality, bright and silky, with half a basket of red thread and a small half basket of yellow thread.

In the next afternoon, Ding Xiang took out the auspicious cloud knot and concentric knot drawn again, and discussed with Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Yang about making big knots.

The adapted version of the auspicious cloud knot is the most characteristic Chinese knot in the previous life, and Ding Xiang has re-named it as the rich and noble knot.Different from the auspicious cloud knot, the name is also festive, which is suitable for the aesthetics of this era.

Make up the simplest one first.

Zhang edited the main body, and Aunt Yang edited the following summary with tassels.

The thread is thick, and more than half of it is finished in half a day.Even if it wasn't completely edited, Zhang's and Yang Hu's were amazed.

The two became addicted, and even made a pot of pimple soup for dinner.

Continue editing after dinner.

At the end of the Xu Dynasty, it was finally compiled and put together to hang on the wall.

Wealthy, beautiful, eye-catching, and grand, it feels like the room is brightened with wealth.

Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Yang looked at Da Fugui and kept their mouths open for a long time.

God, how beautiful can a knot be so beautiful if it is enlarged and hung on the wall?This kind of knot is more colorful than colorful bracelets.

Such a simple thing, why didn't I think of it before.

Look at the concentric knots drawn on the paper again. Two knots are connected vertically, two knots are connected horizontally, and two knots are connected together.Woven with red and gold threads and hung in the new house, it is much more beautiful and luxurious than the "Xi" character cut out of red sheets.

Before, Mrs. Zhang was afraid of throwing money into the cold water tank, but after seeing this wealth knot, the heart she had been carrying was finally put into her stomach.

Ding Xiang was in a trance for a while.

She thought of the home in her previous life, where the Chinese knot was hung on the porch.

How long has she thought about her past life?
It's not that she didn't think about her previous life, she was thinking hard every day about all the skills she had mastered in her previous life.What I didn't think about was those relatives and that small house in the previous life.

Her thoughts and thoughts are all about her relatives here and this family.

Ding Xiang felt very sorry for her grandma, maybe she hadn't missed her old man for a long time...

Ding Xiang's train of thought was interrupted by the chatting and laughing of Mrs. Zhang and Yang Hu's family.In their view, with so many rare items, the business of Zhixiu Pavilion must be good.

Ding Xiang knew that even if this kind of rich knot was made, the business of Zhixiu Pavilion would not continue to be booming.Making netting is easier than embroidery, and many people can do it by themselves after learning it.It is also necessary to design buckles and then decorate them on the clothes in order to make the Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion unique and brilliant.

Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Yang are good at netting, but not so good at pruning and needlework.

Lilac can only draw, but not cut or make.

Also look for a handy embroiderer.

Xiu Niang must also be her own servant, with her contract of prostitution.In this way, it is possible to control the original buckle from spreading.

After this step is over, it is necessary to rent a shop and go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy good silk, which is not only used for making buttons and clothes, but a good embroidery shop must also sell high-quality satin and embroidery thread.

These will cost at least 800 to [-] taels of silver, and it is not enough to take out all the savings at home.

Ding Xiang believes that the two family members will follow her advice and take the money.But she didn't want her family's life to be reduced because of opening a shop, and she was thinking hard about how to make a quick sum of money.

Quick money is of course selling vegetable recipes, but not amazing vegetable recipes can’t be sold at a good price, and she wants to keep them for future use...

It's difficult.

Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Yang's marriage of riches and honor was never too fresh, and they continued to hide in the house the next day, not even going out, and cooked meals perfunctorily.

Ding Xiang An Le, they are all good employees who love and work hard.

Another chance to dream during the day.

Ding Xiang wants to dream Ding Lichun.

Ding Lichun and the others took the escort by land, which was slower than taking a boat, and it would take fifteen days to reach Beijing if they went smoothly.

21 days from today, they must have arrived.

Before Ding Lichun left, Ding Xiang quietly assigned him two tasks.

One is that she often heard her grandfather talk about Feng Suzhen, she especially wanted to know what the real prince, princess, concubine, and son-in-law were like, and asked Ding Lichun to inquire about them.

The second thing is to go to see where the princess lives, of course it is impossible to get close, but to look far away.

Ding Lichun, the pet-sister madman, agreed without thinking too much.

According to Ding Lichun's temperament, he will definitely complete the task assigned by his sister as soon as possible.

Ding Xiang knew that it was impossible to be so coincidental. Ding Lichun happened to be wandering outside the Princess Mansion at this time, but she just wanted to give it a try.Even if it's not outside the princess mansion, I want to see what the capital looks like.
