Chapter 69 Distress
The next day, when the sky was bright, Shen Mingjiao lazily opened his eyes. After washing up and eating, I swept the quilt on Luohan's bed, only to think of Feng Lisheng.
She never held grudges very much, after all, she avenged her revenge on the spot.
She asked Haitang: "When did Your Highness get up?"
"The time is right. It's half an hour later than usual."
Shen Mingjiao sighed, and put the quilt back on the bed.
Haitang was deeply relieved seeing this.
Seeing that nothing was going on in the mansion, Shen Mingjiao thought about going to the Pretty Pavilion, her tailor shop should also start up.
…
Compared with the crowded stores around, Meiliang Pavilion still looks deserted. As usual, Nanny Tao carefully wiped the shelves of tables, chairs and chairs all over the store, and sighed long as she looked at the extremely deserted and huge store.
At this moment, she saw Shen Mingjiao leading Haitang in, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute.
Shen Mingjiao lightly raised her hand to help her up: "You don't have to be polite with me, mama,"
Mommy Tao straightened up and asked Shen Mingjiao: "I wonder if the princess is here today?"
Shen Mingjiao casually picked up an old style of clothing that had been placed for a long time and rummaged through it: "I plan to redecorate the beautiful pavilion and run it properly."
Mommy Tao thought that Shen Mingjiao wanted to reopen the shop because the princess had opened it before, so she smiled gratifiedly:
"Alright, if the princess knows about it, she will be very happy."
Shen Mingjiao smiled and did not explain.
Tao Momo turned serious and said: "Since the princess intends to take over this store, the old slave can rest assured, but the old slave is getting old and is not good at running the shop, so I ask the princess to hire a smarter shopkeeper again." .”
Shen Mingjiao didn't answer her words, but looked at the clean storefront, and praised: "Mommy, you've worked hard."
Nurse Tao replied sternly: "This is the job of a slave."
Shen Mingjiao smiled, while the business in the store was so deserted, Nanny Tao was able to clean carefully every day. This is easy to say, but most people will have a slack mentality.
So from this point, it can be seen that Mother Tao may not be smooth-tempered, but she is a firm-minded person.
Such people are often absolutely loyal and able to withstand temptation.
Mother Tao sighed in her heart. This shop was the only one left to her by the princess. After so many years, she was still very reluctant to leave now, so she couldn't help asking Shen Mingjiao:
"How does the princess plan?"
Shen Mingjiao went up to the second floor, and said as she walked, "The Beautiful Pavilion belongs to the most prosperous area of East Street. It is definitely impossible to sell low-end clothing."
Mommy Tao frowned and said, "But we are opposite Jinxiufang, so it may not be easy to sell high-end ready-made clothes."
Shen Mingjiao: "Jinxiufang is the largest tailor-made clothing store in the capital, and its branches have opened in many prosperous prefectures in the Great Xia Kingdom. It can be said that in the hearts of many ladies and ladies, Jinxiufang represents not a piece of clothing, but a kind of clothing. A symbol of luxury."
"So why don't we open a tailor-made clothing store for people to ensure that everyone buys clothes that are unique."
Tao Nanny frowned and thought: "Wangfei's idea is good, but it's very difficult to do. First of all, if you want to achieve the kind of personal customization that Wangfei said, the shop must have a very good reputation. After a long time, it will be fine." accumulated,
The most important point is where can we find so many dexterous Xiu Niangs who can design unique clothes for each guest? "
Shen Mingjiao rummaged through the piled up fabrics, and picked out all the good ones. The midsummer styles were really old.
She plans to let people get them to sell at a low price in the west of the city. After all, there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries on the East Street. If you sell things too cheap, they will feel that you have lost your worth.
Hearing Nanny Tao's words, she pointed to herself: "I can help customers design clothes!"
Nurse Tao had no choice but to think that she was acting on a whim, so she persuaded a little bluntly: "But you are alone..."
Shen Mingjiao waved her hands and smiled: "I've thought about this a long time ago, we can hold a recruiting meeting for the whole of Daxia, specially recruiting people who can design clothes, regardless of status, gender, and it doesn't have to be Xiu Niang The top 20 will get rewards ranging from 3,000 to 500 taels of silver."
Nurse Tao's eyes lit up, "My concubine, this is a good idea. Once the reward is released, there will be many people who want to participate."
Shen Mingjiao smiled and said: "There is no rush for this, we have to slowly build a reputation first."
She asked Nanny Tao to sort out the fabrics that could be used, as for the clothes downstairs. Pick out the ones that she looks barely good, and sell the rest.
Afterwards, I discussed the improvement of the storefront with Mother Tao.
By the time the master and servant came out, it was almost time for lunch. Shen Mingjiao was indeed a little hungry.
But she didn't want to go back to the palace at this time, so Haitang suggested: "Why don't we go to the west of the city to eat small wontons?"
Shen Mingjiao was also a little moved. The two got into the carriage and told the driver to go to the snack street in the west of the city.
Tie Zhu followed Feng Lisheng to the barracks, so today a boy named Yongfu is in charge of driving the car,
Although he is not very smart, he drives the carriage extremely steadily.
Arrived at the Snack Street in the west of the city. I don’t know what day it is today, but the neighborhood is quite lively.
Shen Mingjiao ordered Yongfu to drive the carriage aside, and she and Haitang walked over.
Although Yongfu felt that this seemed inappropriate, this was the order of the princess, and she dared not disobey it.
The two of Shen Mingjiao went to the familiar wonton stand and ordered two wontons. The master and servant chatted while eating.
Among the crowd not far away, there was a pair of cold eyes watching them closely.
After Shen Mingjiao finished eating the wontons, she felt that it was almost time, so she got up and prepared to go back.
But at this moment, a crazy horse rushed over from nowhere, the bustling crowd was scattered in all directions, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Shen Mingjiao and Shen Mingjiao were pushed back again and again by the crowd. Seeing that they were about to be separated, Haitang hurriedly pushed away the person standing in front of her, and stretched out her hand to grab Shen Mingjiao's arm.
But saw Shen Mingjiao being dragged forward by two men holding their arms.
Hai Tang turned pale with fright, and used brute force to drive away the crowd regardless. Chase in the direction Shen Mingjiao left.
