Chapter 108
Wu Sanduo's little heart was beating non-stop, just like when he first met Cheng Qing when he was 14 years old.

At that time, the first time he saw Cheng Qing, he felt that in all his eyes, he could only see the ethereal little girl opposite him, and he could only hear the sound of his own heart beating.

So, a seed called love fell silently on his heart.

The 14-year-old Wu San was passionate about Dou Chukai. After returning home for a few days without thinking about food and drink, he finally had the courage to write a letter to Cheng Qing to express his longing.

But later, for some reason, Father Cheng found out, then his own father found out, and then Tianshun's people found out, and then he became a playboy Wu Sanduo.

Wu Sanduo didn't know how Father Cheng knew, but he never blamed Cheng Qing.

It's just that since that day, the seed called love has been sleeping in the cold winter because it couldn't wait for the spring rain to come, and it has never broken out of the ground.

But just now when Cheng Qing glanced over, the water in the eyes was like spring rain, falling on Wu Sanduo's heart.

The seed called love woke up instantly, drilled out of the ground without breaking a sweat, and then grew rapidly, with green leaves, branches, and flower buds.

Then a flower bloomed, a flower called love.

The speed is so fast, it seems that in the past three years, it has never slept, and has been growing silently in a corner where no one pays attention, but Wu Sanduo has never noticed it.

Wu Sanduo's earth-shaking inner changes, except for himself, no one knows.

Oh, no, maybe Cheng Qing also felt it at the same time.

Because the next moment after they met his gaze, Cheng Qing, who had put on a little makeup, unconsciously had half of the rouge flying on his face, lowered his eyes shyly, and was as gorgeous as a peach blossom in an instant.

It made Wu Sanduo's eyes straighter.

It's almost never been done before.

In the past, Cheng Qing seldom looked at him directly, and the expression on his face was always indifferent in front of him. When did he ever have such a delicate attitude like a child?
Wu Sanduo's breathing became heavier unconsciously, and a more earnest expression appeared in his eyes.

Under his scorching and unscrupulous eyes, Cheng Qing only felt that his face became hotter.

Luo Shu was also startled by Jiang Jiatong today.

That carefree little lady who was always around him, who was two months older than him, looked so beautiful and charming!

But Luo Shu thought more of Ji Ziqi's younger sister, Ji Xiaoyu.

That Xiao Yu, who was as delicate and beautiful as a begonia, was full of laughter, and there was a little bit of teasing in her laughter, "Master Biao, I am Xiao Yu!"

Ji Ziqi had a panoramic view of the expressions of the three teenagers, and was very satisfied to see the expressions of amazement, nostalgia or confusion on their faces.

She took out two veils and let Jiang Jiatong and Cheng Qing cover them respectively, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

Always a lady of everyone, showing the whole picture is still a bit of a boudoir.

The face is covered with a light veil, and the real face under the veil is vague. The more you look at the flowers in the fog, the more you can't see it clearly, the more it can stimulate everyone's imagination.

Whether it is true for others, Ji Ziqi doesn't know.

However, from the two painters' rapid writing and excited expressions, there is still a clue.

Wu Sanduo and Luo Shu simply changed into two sets of clothes they had prepared to serve as the background to match Jiang Jiatong and Cheng Qing.

In less than an hour, each of about eight sets of clothes had been changed, and the two painters also stopped writing.

Ji Ziqi and Tang Dagongzi, as early as when the artist finished the first painting, started to paint the second painting and watched the effect after painting.

The result was very surprising.

Just a few simple strokes, with a touch of ink, the characters appear vividly on the paper, and the artistic conception is natural.

It's only one hundred cents a piece, which is really a lot of money!Of course Ji Ziqi knew that he must have something to do with Master Jiang, but now that they have limited money, it's not the time to be arrogant.

So when the two painters packed up their belongings and were about to leave, Ji Ziqi smiled and took out two taels of silver, and each gave one tael.

And asked, if you want to ask two people to paint a portrait of this shirt in the future, will it be the same price?Do I need to make an appointment in advance, or can I come anytime?

The eyelids of the two painters twitched.

Does this really treat them as free laborers?

But what is the relationship between this little lady in front of him and Master Jiang, that she can send the steward of his house to come to find the painter in person!The two dare not speculate on their own.

I figured it would be fine if I knew it was related.

Focusing on this point, the two gritted their teeth, nodded after working hard for half a day, which was less than the usual reward for the servants, and left.

Ji Ziqi sent the two of them away, and when he returned to the store, he found that there was something wrong with everyone's expressions.

It turns out that Cheng Qing's request for the last portrait is: the woman lowers her head, and the man stands aside and stares at her.

In the painting, the woman's head hangs slightly, she bites her lips lightly, with an unbearable shame on her face.

In the painting, the man's eyes are full of affection, and the peach blossoms seem to bloom in his eyes, full of infatuation and love.

The painter has extraordinary skills, showing all this vividly.

Anyone who knows or doesn't know this will think that the two people in the painting are in love with each other, but because of shyness, they haven't expressed their feelings to each other.

So as soon as the painting came out, Cheng Qingqiao blushed even more, and Wu Sanduo was at a loss.

The two people's thoughts, which have never been shown to the outside world, are clearly and clearly captured in this painting by the artist, subtly and accurately captured, and the mastery is brilliant, and it is displayed.

Young Master Tang and Luo Shu looked at the portrait, thinking of the person in their hearts, yearning for it.

It would be great if I could also draw this kiss picture with her!
Jiang Jiatong looked at the portraits of Wu Sanduo and Cheng Qing, and then at the portraits of himself and Luo Shu. Wu Sanduo in the painting was gentle and affectionate, but Luo Shu in the painting was not listless.

She suddenly thought about it.

For fear of disturbing the painter's painting, Suyifang closed the door for a long time.

The painter finished early, but it was still getting late.

Ji Ziqi simply decided not to open the door today, and re-decorated the store.

Today, the clothes worn by Cheng Qing and Jiang Jiatong were placed in the most conspicuous position, together with the portrait of the two wearing the clothes.

Several people discussed the activities for the next three days: as long as you order the clothes in this portrait, you will get a handkerchief or sachet of the same color.

Wu Sanduo, Cheng Qing, Luo Shu and Jiang Jiatong took turns wearing the clothes on the portrait for half a day every day, and stood at the door of the shop as a human-shaped signboard.

Su Yifang's move was quickly spread to the ears of the palace, Master Meng and Lin Shangshu at dusk.

It's just that their next plan was discussed behind closed doors, and the secret guards who were secretly watching all of this didn't know what their intentions were!
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor, Master Meng, and Shangshu Lin, who received the message, couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the students of Qilin Academy!

After the incident of the cold clothing workshop last time, His Majesty the Emperor is not only more curious about Ji Ziqi, but also full of curiosity about Qilin Academy.

The exam time this time was a bit long, and His Majesty the Emperor, who had been enjoying himself recently, happened to have nothing to do, so he sent the hidden guards in the palace to report the actions and results of the four academies at least once a day!
Judging from the current results, the results of Qilin Academy are not outstanding, even ranked at the bottom.

But their every move is very methodical, a little experiment, a little change, down-to-earth, no opportunism, luck, or resignation to fate.

Rely on your unremitting efforts to make things develop in the direction you want.

His Majesty the Emperor thought to himself, this may be their charm, facing difficulties, not giving up without compromise, and facing difficulties!

He looked at Lin Shangshu and Master Meng who were also in deep thought, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked with a chuckle: "I remember that there is a rule for this question, you must not ask for help, otherwise it will be considered a violation!

I don't know if this Qilin Academy found a painter through the Jiang's steward, and got the best portrait at the best price. Is this considered a violation?

How do the two lovers view this matter? "

Master Meng and Lin Shangshu stood neatly on both sides of His Majesty's front, their heads drooped slightly, and they didn't move a bit, and the eyeballs under their eyelids couldn't see the slightest movement.

The two still exchanged opinions with each other out of the corner of their eyes.

This kind of kung fu cannot be practiced overnight.

Master Meng, who was the chief judge, replied: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a rule in the requirements of this exam that you are not allowed to ask for help!
It was only when I discussed this regulation that the key point was to prevent the relatives and friends of the students from going to the store to buy in bulk and confuse the public, so I decided on this point.

When the minister read the rules to the students of the colleges, he also emphasized the latter!
Qilin Academy asked the manager of the Jiang family to find a painter, which is considered a coincidence, but if it is a violation of the rules, I think it is too serious! "

Lin Shangshu continued: "I agree with what Master Meng said! The two painters that the Jiang's family found were not obligatory to help, but they also received silver taels.

One hundred cash per painting is a friendly price for those two, but if you are looking for a down-and-out scholar in the market, the price is still reasonable.

The focus of the assessment of this question is to assess whether the students of each college can think eclecticly, break the inherent tradition, and truly implement the arithmetic in practice.

Based on this point alone, Qilin Academy has surpassed the other three academies.

Therefore, I think that Qilin Academy's move is within the acceptable range, and it is not a violation of the rules!Also please His Majesty learn from you! "

His Majesty the Emperor withdrew his hand on the table, placed it on his chin and stroked it lightly, did not make a sound immediately, but glanced at the two people in front of him one by one.

That look was clearly just a light sweep, but Master Meng and Lin Shangshu couldn't help but get chills down their spines.

How can the king's eyes be unintentional!
Seeing the nervousness on their faces, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly smiled, and said in an unpredictable tone, "It's rare to see that the two lovers are so partial in speech for several people at the same time!

It seems that this Qilin Academy is not simple, and this Ji Ziqi is even more difficult! "

Master Meng and Lin Shangshu shuddered. This, this meaning, has to make people think too much!

The two buried their heads lower and said nothing.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in a better mood, and his tone relaxed, "You two lovers don't need to be so nervous, what I mean is that Lian is also very curious about the next move of the Qilin Academy!

I'm also looking forward to Ji Ziqi, who is making surprises one after another! "

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers are looking forward to it!" Master Meng and Lin Shangshu secretly let out a sigh of relief, and echoed in unison.

-

On the eighth day of October, the six of Ji Ziqi arrived at Suyifang early.

She helped Cheng Qing put on makeup and put on clothes, put on a veil of the same color, and let her and Wu Sanduo stand at the door of the shop.

The painting with the same clothes was placed closest to the entrance, outsiders only need to look at the two of them to see the portrait.

Gradually, the pace of pedestrians slowed down.

Dressed in plain clothes, light as blue, a pair of clear eyes are big and bright, and the delicate face under the veil is looming, which attracts people's daydream.

Is that the fairy coming out of the painting?

Soon, a lot of people gathered at the door, most of them were the guys from nearby businesses, or the peddlers on the street.

Several people gathered together, pointing and whispering, full of curiosity about this novel way.

The sun was just rising, and the cold wind picked up, Cheng Qing was blown a little cold.

The face under the veil was terribly hot.

When was she surrounded by so many people?

Wu Sanduo, who was standing beside her, looked at her trembling eyelashes from top to bottom, like the flapping wings of a butterfly in spring, and a faint blush could be seen under the veil.

He couldn't help leaning over and whispering in her ear, "Don't be nervous, just imagine them as moving carrot heads!"

Cheng Qing covered his face with his sleeves, laughed out loud, and the tips of his ears were quickly smeared with red in the dim light.

The laughter was like a spell that dispelled the magic. Wu Sanduo, who had been restrained in front of Cheng Qing before, suddenly seemed to break free from that restraint, and felt relaxed all over.

"Cheng Qing, I really know how to carve all kinds of flowers out of radishes, little animal, next time I'll carve... Let me show you, okay?"

Wu Sanduo originally wanted to say, next time I will carve one for you, but remembering what happened before, he abruptly changed it to show you!

"Yeah." Cheng Qing's exposed skin became even more rosy, and she nodded slightly.

Wu Sanduo was overjoyed, and grinned to his ears, "Then what do you like, animals like rabbits, foxes, kittens and puppies, or flowers like magnolias, lotuses, and peonies?

How about I carve them all for you?I'm still learning how to carve people. When I've learned and practiced, can you carve one for me? "

Cheng Qing couldn't adapt to such a Wu Sanduo. Before yesterday, he was always at a loss for words in front of him. Wu Sanduo, who could say a word without saying a word, suddenly became a chatterbox!
She thought of the last portrait yesterday, feeling embarrassed and sweet at the same time.

The thoughts she has been hiding all this time are exposed naked to everyone!

Then there was a trace of annoyance in my heart, because I already understood her thoughts, so if she is like other little ladies, can she let go and make fun of her?
With this thought, the blush on his face slowly faded away.

Under the veil, she bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Wu Sanduo, who put all his attention on Cheng Qing, was eagerly waiting for her response.

So he was sensitively aware that there was a thread between the two of them just now, but in a blink of an eye, that thread became an invisible wall, blocking the two of them.

Wu Sanduo panicked, did he say something wrong again?

The atmosphere around the two has quietly changed, but for outsiders who don't know, this pair of Bi people is still a pair of Bi people, the more they look at it, the more they feel admiration!
Whether it is ancient people or modern people, human nature is the same, like to join in the fun in crowded places.

More and more people gathered around the gate of Suyifang, even blocking the wide street.

But there were very few people entering the store, Jiang Jiatong lost his composure, "Ziqi, why do you think these people gather at the door, why don't you come in and have a look?"

"Don't worry!" Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "Now this group of people are from nearby businesses, or people who are in a hurry to go to the market early in the morning, passing by to watch the fun.

The real guest will come after Chen Shi.

As long as the store's entrance continues to maintain this kind of onlooker flow, the business will not be bad today! "

There were too many people gathered, the people in front did not leave, and the people behind waited impatiently, and some shouted loudly.

Some small ones nimbly squeezed through the gaps in the crowd to the front.

Among them was a simple and honest little girl with a round apple face and two small buns tied up in her hair. She looked into the store with round eyes and said to herself, "I'm going to tell the lady that there is a store here." It's fun!"

In less than an hour, Cheng Qing was so tired that he began to pant, his legs were sore and numb, and his face was a little pale.

Wu Sanduo looked at her worriedly, thinking of her indifference just now, he dared not speak.

Seeing that there seemed to be fine sweat oozing from her forehead, she finally couldn't help asking: "Cheng Qing, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" Cheng Qing said calmly, enduring the rising discomfort.

She wanted to move her numb feet slightly, but she felt weak for a while, and staggered to the side.

Wu Sand was so shocked that he stretched out his hand to pull her without hesitation, and Cheng Qing leaned into his arms lightly, and immediately stabilized his figure again.

Just for a moment, the soft and sweet girlish breath and touch were deeply imprinted in Wu Sanduo's mind, and the peach blossom-like face was even more gorgeous under the sun.

At that moment, Cheng Qing also felt the strong arms and warm chest of the man beside him, and his face blushed unconsciously.

Ji Ziqi didn't see the expressions of the two, but only noticed Cheng Qing's exhaustion.

She thought about the half-day arrangement of Cheng Qing and Jiang Jiatong who had planned to stand each other for half a day, but she ignored the problem of physical fitness.

So she called Jiang Jiatong and asked her to change into her favorite red riding outfit, covered with a veil of the same color, and together with Luo Shu, changed back to Cheng Qing and Wu Sanduo.

The heroic Jiang Jiatong stood there, causing another commotion from the crowd.

When Jiang Jiatong started to feel a little numb in his legs, a decent young lady finally entered the shop.

Why do you say presentable?Some people also entered one after another, but they were all watching the excitement. They walked around twice, asked the price, and left with their hands behind their backs.

This little lady was wearing a wine-red cloak, revealing half of her delicate face, followed by an eleven or twelve-year-old smiling girl.

The little girl said: "Miss, this is the shop! The dress that a sister is wearing just now is so beautiful!"

Although there were not many people in the shop, Cheng Qing, Wu Sanduo and Jiang Jiatong Luo Shu had to take turns acting as the facade, and when they were not acting as the facade, they had to rest well.

So Ji Ziqi took the initiative to be a buddy.

Hearing the little girl's words, she immediately greeted her with a grin, "Is this little girl talking about this?"

She pointed to the suit of clothes that Cheng Qing just changed and hung up, "This is the new clothes that arrived today, here is the rendering of the portrait of the shop assistant wearing the upper body, miss, please look!"

After speaking, he took down the portrait and unfolded it for the lady to take a closer look.

Then secretly observed the young lady's appearance.

The young lady came into the shop, but she didn't put down her cloak. The cloak was still on top of her head, covering most of her face. When she looked down at the painting, she couldn't see it clearly.

However, Ji Ziqi could still feel that her temperament was somewhat similar to Cheng Qing's.

A thought came to my mind, "Miss, our store has daily wear, banquet wear, and clothes for going out on weekdays, how about I introduce it for miss?"

The lady nodded slightly.

Ji Ziqi took her to the portraits that Cheng Qing passed through, and introduced them one by one: "Miss, this crescent white shirt is simple in cutting, simple in shape, and has an elegant upper body. It is made of silk. Refined cotton, best worn at home;

This set of light blue is embroidered with small plum blossoms, the waist is specially made for self-cultivation, the skirt is not too big, suitable for action, the overall is elegant and dignified, suitable for going out with friends in the boudoir;
This set of water red with vermilion borders is bright and extravagant, and it can show the delicate beauty of the daughter's family while being calm. The material is made of the best silk, suitable for accompanying the elders in the family to entertain guests! "

As soon as Ji Ziqi finished speaking, the little girl beside her clapped her hands: "Miss, you will definitely look more beautiful in these outfits than my sister in the painting!"

There was also a trace of satisfaction in the young lady's eyes, but she still pursed her lips and said nothing.

Ji Ziqi introduced the remaining sets of clothes to her. The young lady seemed to like them very much, but she never said a word.

Isn't it dumb?Ji Ziqi secretly speculated in his heart.

The introduction here is over, and I talked about a few sets of original products in the store, but the lady still didn't express her opinion.

Ji Ziqi's mouth was dry at this time, she decided to communicate with the lady in another way, "Miss, are there any dissatisfaction with the clothes I just introduced to you?"

It was the little girl who said, "My lady doesn't like to wear the same clothes as others! The more beautiful the clothes in your store, the more people buy them.

I'm afraid my lady can't accept this point! "

I see!It seems that he is a rich owner, only rich people can do this!

Immediately smiled and said to the lady: "Miss, don't worry, even if these ladies in clothes are interested, my store is out of stock now!
If the lady really likes it, these clothes can be customized for the lady alone!
For example, in the first set of crescent white, the sleeve robe can be slightly enlarged to make it more dusty, and then replaced with first-class brocade, it will be very different from the current clothes! "

"Is it really okay?" The lady finally spoke the first words since entering the store.

The voice is delicate and soft, very sweet, and it looks like it was pampered by a rich family, with a bit of innocence.

Ji Ziqi smiled even more, nodded exaggeratedly, and affirmed: "This is a special feature of our store. It's just an individual order, which takes longer and costs more!"

The lady hesitated and said, "How long will it take? Can ten days be enough? Is 100 taels enough for one piece? I will accompany Auntie to a banquet in ten days."

"Enough! Enough!" Ji Ziqi grinned from ear to ear, "Just showed Miss ten sets, does Miss want ten sets or eight sets?"

"If the customized effect is satisfactory, I want them all! Ten more sets are fine!"

Wow!Big water fish!
Ji Ziqi was elated, and he refused to let the lady in front of him go easily, "Miss, come upstairs with me, how about I discuss the details of the amendments one by one with the lady?"

The young lady thought it was still early, so she took her maid and followed Ji Ziqi upstairs.

Before going upstairs, Ji Ziqi winked at Cheng Qing, signaling her to take all the clothes in the store that fit the young lady upstairs.

Cheng Qing understood, picked out another dozen sets of clothes and went upstairs together.

The two of them accompanied the young lady and talked slowly upstairs for more than half an hour.

Finally, the lady paid the silver and left with satisfaction.

Ji Ziqi and Cheng Qing, holding the bank notes they just got, can't wait to show off in front of Mr. Tang and Wu Sanduo, "Guess, how many sets of clothes was ordered by that lady just now, how much is the total?" silver?"

Wu Sanduo: "Fifteen sets? 50 taels?"

Young Master Tang: "Twenty sets? 100 taels?"

Ji Ziqi proudly said: "Twenty sets are correct! But how much money is wrong!"

Then he raised his chin and turned to Cheng Qing, "Cheng Qing, tell these two how much money we just made?"

It was rare for Cheng Qing to see Ji Ziqi's childish look, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "500 taels!"

"500 taels?" Young Master Tang and Wu Sanduo stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "The most expensive of these sets of clothes is only 20 taels, some are a few taels, how could there be 500 taels?"

Wu Sanduo glanced at the two of them with puzzled eyes, "Aren't you trying to deceive the little lady who doesn't understand the market and set prices randomly?"

"Go! Let's do business in an upright manner, how can we blackmail people at will?" Ji Ziqi rolled his eyes at him, "The lady's clothes are all custom-made, and they are all made of the best brocade.

We quoted the price according to the standard of the main store of Suyifang! "

Wu Sanduo was speechless, "This is too rich!"

"It's nothing! The little girl next to the lady said that her lady's clothes should not be worn twice at most! If it is worn for a dinner party, it is usually only worn once!"

"This, this is too extravagant!" Wu Sanduo's tongue was tied.

"That's what I heard for the first time!" Ji Ziqi said, "The little girl said disdainfully that those ladies who interacted with her ladies are exaggerations! Some of them wear three sets of clothes a day and they don't look the same. !"

"Then if we get in touch with that young lady, can't we ask her to help us promote more?"

Ji Ziqi said regretfully: "It's a pity that the lady refused to leave her address, paid all the silver taels, and made an appointment to pick up the goods in seven days, and when the time comes, someone will come to pick up the goods with the order!
Today, she felt a little bored and asked the little girl to come out for a walk. She originally planned to go back immediately. It was the little girl who watched the excitement here and begged to come and have a look.

There will be very few opportunities for her to come out in the future.Moreover, there are mothers and maids who specialize in making shirts at home, so the chances of shopping outside are very small! "

Mr. Tang said: "It seems that she is a noble lady with a deep family background! Only such a family can be like this!

Because of this, the prices and textures of ready-made clothing in the market will not use the best. The materials used and the prices ordered are aimed at some ordinary official ladies and businessmen and wealthy households! "

Wu Sanduo was a little disappointed: "Then it's the same as the first day when the door was opened, is it a one-off?"

"It's not exactly like that!" Ji Ziqi put on a bright smile again, "I discussed with Cheng Qing just now, and I will go to the main store tomorrow to choose some styles.

Then invite the two painters from last time to come over, and after the draft is finished, hand it over to the studio to make [-] copies.

When the young lady sent someone over to pick up the clothes, she took a copy of those portraits back. If the young lady liked something, wouldn't we have business again?

From now on, we can send such a portrait to every lady who is inconvenient to go out from time to time! "

Wu Sanduo suddenly became excited: "Ziqi, your brain is really flexible! You came up with a good idea so quickly!"

The progress of the first day was so smooth, Ji Ziqi was also a little proud of himself, he lost his usual calmness, and unconsciously raised his tail, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, like a cunning little fox.

All this fell into the eyes of Mr. Tang, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help evoking a faint smile.

In addition to the 500 taels of the big lady, a total of about 100 taels of silver was sold today.

50 taels are the styles on those portraits, and 50 taels are other clothes in the store.

With the story of Ji Ziqi's tea eggs, several customers bought more than two pieces at a time today.

After closing the doors at night, everyone was excited.

Although I thought it might be effective, I didn't expect the effect to be so good!
Now you don't have to worry about the monthly rent.

Ji Ziqi was also very excited, and calmly reminded a few people after the excitement was over: "The reason why business is so good today is mainly because our method is fresh!
If there are more people watching the excitement, more people will enter the store, so the business will naturally be good!

But this novelty will pass in two days, and when there are fewer people, the business will drop!

So our focus in the past few days is to hurry up and draw more clothing renderings.

The key is to quickly copy the studio into a book!

And starting tomorrow, we will promote this method in the store, and ask the ladies who are willing to receive the portraits to leave their addresses, and we will deliver them to your door at that time!

If it's like the rich lady today, with dozens of sets at a time, we can still bring samples to the door! "

Everything had a clue and purpose, and all of them nodded with smiles on their faces.

So on the ninth day of the lunar new year, the two painters received a message from Manager Nie, and they had no choice but to reject today's big guest, and came to Suyifang with their pens and ink.

Mrs. Xiao San from the main store of Suyifang received the news early in the morning. She was shocked by the actions of Ji Ziqi and the others, but also wondered if the person who spread the news was exaggerating?

Ordinary clothing stores or main stores also have relatively rigid portraits of clothes, and they are just simple portraits of clothes, without real people wearing them to show their characteristics.

Mrs. Xiao San didn't see it with her own eyes, she just listened to the person sent out to inquire about the market and trends in the market, and came back to describe the commotion in Suyifang yesterday.

It's the same portrait in clothes, but with a different person, so the effect has changed so drastically?

So she still had a little doubt in her heart.

Seeing that several people from Ji Ziqi came to the door again today, they ordered a total of about [-] sets of the styles they took back the day before yesterday, including [-] sets of high-quality orders.

She couldn't help asking: "Miss Ji, is the effect of the real portrait really that good?"

Ji Ziqi knew that this businessman was the most well-informed, and he was not surprised that she asked so directly, so he smiled and said: "Miss Xiao San, if you are free today, you will come with the three of us to have a look later!

If you are not free, I will send you a set after the portraits come out in batches in a few days! "

For businessmen, time is business opportunity!To take the first step is to seize the opportunity first!

Mrs. Xiao San did not hesitate immediately: "Then I will go with Miss Ji!"

This time, Ji Ziqi and the others not only brought thirty or so sets of clothes back into the painting, but also the original styles in the store.

The two painters arranged the tools familiarly, Cheng Jiang and the two changed their clothes and put on makeup, and then went downstairs.

Ji Ziqi accompanied Mrs. Xiao San.

In fact, as soon as Mrs. Xiao San entered the store, those several portraits with distinct artistic conceptions fell into her eyes.

Because Ji Ziqi and the others were poor, they knew that the paintings of the two painters were extraordinary, but they still pretended not to know.

Mrs. Xiao San didn't know the reason for this, but as soon as the painting caught her eyes and the painter met her face, she almost screamed out!

These two well-known portrait masters in the capital actually helped people with... portraits for a price of [-] yuan a piece in her small Suyifang branch?
Mrs. Xiao San was very experienced, and she figured out the key point after a while.

It seems that among these six people, at least one of them has an unusual background, which makes them willing to become down-and-out scholars on the street.

After realizing this, he secretly thought about the inappropriateness of these few contacts.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that everything was well thought out, so I was relieved.

Ji Ziqi didn't know these psychological changes of Mrs. Xiao San around him, so he smiled and took her to inspect the portraits.

Cheng Qing, Wu Sanduo, and Jiang Jiatong Luo Shu were all drawn into the painting on the top, and there was only Mr. Tang on the bottom.

Although there is no one to act as a facade today due to manpower, but the lingering warmth of yesterday has not dissipated, and there are still many people who came to the store today.

After a while, Mr. Tang felt a little overwhelmed.

So Mrs. Xiao San bid farewell wisely.

There are quite a lot of styles in the store. After the two painters painted for two hours, the arms were too tired to lift.

Ji Ziqi made an appointment with the two of them to come back the next morning.

The two painters smiled wryly in their hearts, but still gratefully accepted the broken silver handed over by Ji Ziqi, and promised to arrive on time tomorrow.

Today, due to insufficient manpower, a total of 50 taels of silver was sold, and three young ladies left their addresses.

Under such circumstances, several people feel very satisfied with such a result.

It was decided that everything in the store would remain as usual tomorrow, while Ji Ziqi went to find the painting workshop and asked about the reproduction of the portrait.

There is no other way, since the manager of Jiang's mansion came forward, it would be safer for Ji Ziqi to handle this matter.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Ji Ziqi, under the leadership of Jiang's steward Nie, successfully found a painting studio with affordable price and good quality.
