Fair Lady

Shuyao came here in person because she is unmatched in her sensitivity to colors. In addition, she knows exactly which colors of embroidery threads are in her treasure chest, which colors she uses most, and which color combinations she likes the most.

In the shops in the capital, the guys are all thieves and thieves.Although Shuyao was wearing a veiled hat, as soon as the carriage stopped, the sharp-eyed receptionist hurriedly let another boy run in to inform the shopkeeper in a low voice.

Therefore, before Shuyao reached the entrance of the Yuncaifang store, the shopkeeper came up with the welcoming staff personally: "Princess Fuxing County is here, Yuncaifang is full of brilliance, princess please come inside quickly. The VIP room has been arranged Well, the princess can choose slowly, and absolutely no one will go in and disturb." Probably everyone knows that Princess Fuxing keeps a low profile, and the voice of the shopkeeper is lowered, only Shuyao and others can hear clearly.

Shuyao was afraid of being recognized by others, so she specially asked the coachman to stop the carriage at the corner instead of driving directly to this side and then get off.Unexpectedly, the buddy's eyes were so sharp, and he saw the sign of Lianghou's Mansion on the carriage from a long distance, and knew that she came to Yuncaifang.

If the shopkeeper and that clerk knew what Shuyao was thinking, they would definitely be dumbfounded. In the capital, who can work in a shop like Yuncaifang, who doesn't have sharp eyes and sharp ears?You must also memorize the carriage marks of those rich and noble families, various obvious or inconspicuous features, and even the features of those wives, women around girls, and maids (women from rich families usually wear veiled hats outside, even if they don’t wear them, Don’t dare to stare directly, do you?).

As for knowing that Shuyao will come into the store, it is even simpler. Among the few stores nearby, Yuncaifang is the largest, and there are only two stores closest to this direction.One is a dim sum shop, and the other is their Yuncaifang.

Who doesn't know that Xia's family is the owner of "Qiaoweiju", the most prosperous dim sum shop in Dazhou?Who doesn't know that Princess Fuxing is good at embroidery, although she is young and has not yet reached the level of hairpin, she can be said to be the number one embroidery master in the world.

What are embroidery masters most interested in?Naturally, it is brightly colored and high-quality embroidery thread.Today, Yuncaifang launched three new colors at a time, as well as three limited-edition boutique suits. It is not inconceivable that it will attract Princess Fuxing to visit in person.

Yuncaifang often receives distinguished guests. When Shuyao was introduced to the first-class VIP room, she had to marvel at the warmth and luxury of the Yuncaifang VIP room and the quick response of the staff.

The furniture in the VIP room is simple and not complicated, but the materials and workmanship are excellent, all mahogany.

Once in the house.Facing you is a huge embroidery "Hundred Flowers Blooming" on the wall. The exquisite embroidery skills highlight the excellent color of Yuncaifang's embroidery thread.

The two maids with the same hairstyle and clothes stepped forward to salute, and Yin Shuyao and Mama Liu sat down. They were well-trained and had a good look. You could tell that Mama Liu was different from other mothers (mainly because everyone Knowing that Princess Fuxing has a nunnery by his side. As long as there is a wink, it is relatively easy to deduce).

The tea has just been brewed, and as soon as you smell it, you will know that it is the first brewed top-quality tea. The timing is just right, so that they can enjoy the tea as soon as they sit down, and the snacks are also piping hot.

On a long table against the wall.There are three very delicate oval flat bamboo baskets in the middle, and the lids are all opened at this moment.Leaning aside, the lid is tied with a pink silk handkerchief embroidered with the items and quantities included in the set.

The silk threads of Yuncaifang’s main colors are also arranged on the table according to the launch time. The newer the more the front, the silk handkerchiefs hanging on the wall above the silk threads are embroidered with flowers and leaves. , or other small graphics, obviously.It is for customers to see the effect.

Shuyao secretly sighed, not only did the Pei family produce a young master with extraordinary talents in silk dyeing and painting.The means of this operation are also extraordinary.It's a pity, why are you so keen on power and get involved in the battle for the reserve?Such a peerless kung fu was lost in vain.

Besides sighing, Shuyao decided to stock up more embroidery thread this time.It's a trivial matter to save a lot of money, and what's more important is that when the Pei family collapses, they won't be able to buy anything they want.

The previous life was three years later, and there are many changes in this life. I don't know if there will be any changes, or whether the time will be advanced or delayed.

However, the things in the mahogany box will not be broken, and the longer they are kept, the better the silk thread will be and the better the color will be.Even if the second prince doesn't fall and the Pei family doesn't fall, the embroidery thread in Yuncaifang won't be able to get cheaper, it will only become more and more expensive, and it won't hurt to prepare it now.

Shuyao saw that the suits launched this time were indeed exquisite and valuable, and the items inside did not overlap, so she bought 10 copies each very simply, and told Mama Liu in front of the shopkeeper: "Fourth princess and Yue'er One for each of them, one for Xiutao, one for each of the three cousins, one for sister Nian'er, and the remaining two (total of six pieces) for Chinese New Year gifts."

The shopkeeper who personally stood by and waited on Shuyao was so generous, he laughed so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, and the owner of Fuxing County was so fond of their goods, it was a big publicity in itself.Listen, Princess Fuxing, Princess Four, and Princess Yuegui all use their suits and embroidery threads, real "things for noble ladies".

With this prelude first, it is not surprising that Shuyao continued to "buy wildly" in the shopkeeper's eyes. Princess Fuxing is good at embroidery and embroidery, and naturally uses a large amount of silk thread, which coincides with such a large profit-sharing activity in the shop. , It’s not normal not to buy more, no matter how rich a person can buy more things with the same money, who wouldn’t want it?

Uh, from another point of view, this just shows that the owner of Fuxing County is rich, and the embroidery threads from their Yuncaifang are used for daily embroidery. ordinary embroidery thread.After all, the price difference is too big.The shopkeeper has sharp eyes, and he saw from the very beginning that the embroidery threads on the clothes, purses, and even the shoes of the four servant girls behind Shuyao were all bright in color, so they must all be products from their Yuncaifang.

Just imagine, even the maids are so "luxurious", how much embroidery thread from Yuncaifang should be used by the two princes' mansion in a year?The owner of Fuxing County saw that he bought a lot, and it would not take long to use it, let alone give it to this princess, that cousin, and handkerchiefs.

At first, Shuyao was worried whether the shopkeeper would be surprised, or mistakenly thought that she was going to store the goods and sell them to others later, but she caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper's face without the slightest change.Based on experience, I also helped her recommend the main colors and color schemes that are in stock, which colors are easy to be out of stock, and those embroidery drafts are the only ones...

The shopkeeper's attitude made Shuyao secretly happy, and the purchase was even more enjoyable.In fact, she really worried too much. If someone else had stocked up so much, the shopkeeper might have doubts about it. Princess Fuxing would stockpile the goods for sale?You won't believe it even if you kill him, okay?

How could Shuyao have imagined that the embroidery on the clothes of her four maidservants proved to her that "the two princes' mansions have a huge demand for embroidery thread in Yuncaifang", in fact.The embroidery thread used by her maids is just ordinary embroidery thread that has been enhanced in the treasure chest.

And the shopkeeper of Yuncaifang would never have thought that Princess Fuxing's hoarding of goods was actually for the embroidery thread after their Yuncaifang closed down.If anyone would think that Yuncaifang "will go bankrupt in the near future", everyone will definitely regard him (her) as a lunatic.

After finishing the settlement, Shuyao said with satisfaction: "The shopkeeper, it's all because you Yuncaifang doesn't have any profit-sharing activities on weekdays, otherwise, the princess wouldn't need to buy so much at once."

The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly: "Who doesn't know that Princess Fuxing's embroidery skills are superb. Even the empress dowager and the emperor like it, so naturally he uses more silk thread than ordinary people. You really like our embroidery thread, it really makes us smile. There is light. Princess, you bought a lot today, the little old man is in charge, and the total price will be discounted by half to the princess."

Shuyao was naturally happy and was about to say thank you.A woman in charge came in and saluted Shuyao.Whispered a few words in the shopkeeper's ear.

After the mother-in-law withdrew, the shopkeeper said happily: "The princess, our uncle heard that the princess loves our Yuncaifang so much, and specially sent five unique embroidery manuscripts suitable for embroidering screens, as a gift to Yuncaifang. An annual gift for the princess. We will send the five embroidery manuscripts to the Lianghou Mansion together with the things the princess just bought."

"Oh? Thank you so much, sir." Shuyao replied with a smile. He really liked the embroidery manuscripts drawn by the young master of the Pei family (among the embroidery manuscripts sold in Yuncaifang, the highest-level and most expensive embroidery manuscripts are Painted by Master Pei himself).Although Shuyao's own painting skills are also extraordinary.But I have to admit that although Young Master Pei is a man, he knows what kind of picture is most suitable for embroidery.in addition.It seems that he is well-informed, has traveled places, seen many scenery, and painted many pictures that Shuyao could not imagine out of thin air.

Shuyao heard that Young Master Pei would go out to collect wind every year, just like Gao Mingde went out to collect medicine.

What a pity, how could such a talented person get entangled in the battle for the reserve?If possible, Shuyao would really like to buy his silk dyeing formula so as not to waste the good stuff.

But, hehe, just think about it.In order to keep it secret, the Pei family refused to even record the recipe, so how could they sell it?

As for loving and cherishing talents, remind the young master of the Pei family, Pei Shaoqing?Shuyao is not so self-righteous, everyone has to pay the price for their "pursuit", just like her chasing family fame and wealth in her previous life.Shuyao would not bring danger to herself and the Lianghou Mansion for a few embroidered manuscripts, even if it was the slightest danger.

Moreover, Shuyao pursed her lips. In her previous life, she had heard Aunt Lan and the others talk about the huge financial support of the Pei family in the incident of the second prince's rebellion. The Pei family was ambitious.

Of course she knew that Young Master Pei gave her a few more embroidery manuscripts. Firstly, it was naturally a way to win over the business, and secondly, it was also for the benefit of his sister's relationship with her in the future. After all, they will be royals in the future. (The prince's side concubine is also on the royal roster. Once the second prince is able to ascend the throne in the future, Pei Yanran is likely to be a noble concubine, at least one of the four concubines.) And how fierce is the harem battle?

What Shuyao, who only wanted to stock up with all her strength and didn't want to cause trouble, did not expect that in this life, she was destined to have a relationship with the secret recipe of dyeing silk in Yuncaifang. Of course, this is a story for later.

Returning from Yuncaifang with a full load, Shuyao was in a good mood, watching the bustling people outside the carriage through the cloud gauze curtains of the carriage, and even hummed the Jiangnan ditty taught by Liu Mama in a very low voice (make sure you can’t hear it outside the carriage).

Mother Liu is funny, no matter how smart and steady the girl is on weekdays, she is still a child at heart.Furthermore, today, the girl is still so frugal.Liu's mother took it for granted that Shuyao was so happy that she bought a lot because it was cheap, and then she got five embroidered manuscripts that were definitely not cheap.

Because there were too many people on the road, the carriage was not going fast, Shuyao was in a good mood and was not in a hurry, leisurely looking at the people and scenes that kept coming and going outside the window.

Suddenly, she called out: "Stop for a moment, lean in front of the cloth shop on the roadside.

Lan Jin wondered: "Princess, do you want to buy cloth?" Their eldest daughter's family has a cloth shop, and new products will be sent over every season, so the masters don't need to go outside to buy cloth at all. Which cloth is better than Nangong's? Cloth?

Nangong cloth shop has a large scale, and there are cloths of all levels.Therefore, the people in the Lianghou's mansion use the cotton cloth ordered from Nangong Cloth Mansion, and the mansion does not leave the fat and water for outsiders.

Shuyao shook her head: "Look, are those two people Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, brother Daqiang's parents?"

Lan Jin looked closer to the window: "Yes, but why are those women surrounding them with such stinky faces, bullying others?"

Shu Yao frowned and said, "Those are from the Ding family." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
