Four or five days later, Yan Xiao went to visit Qiaoyun again. This time, after knocking on the door, the woman who opened the door was still the same woman as last time, but this time she was very polite to him.
"Come in, Mrs. Qiao is busy at the moment. I will take you to Shuangqi Pavilion first." The woman said as she closed the door and led Yan Xiao inside.
"Thank you!" Yan smiled and thanked her, then followed the woman inside.
The woman brought Yan Xiao to Shuangqi Pavilion and brought a pot of tea and two plates of snacks. Then she said very politely: "Miss, please wait a moment."
"good."
After the woman left, Yan Xiao picked up the snack and took a sip. It was very exquisite, with the right sweetness and good taste. It seems that Qiaoyun chatted with the woman after he left, otherwise he would not have changed from before.
Yan Xiao could tell that although the woman was not convinced, she was still very respectful to him.
After about a stick of incense, Qiaoyun came slowly with the woman. This time Qiaoyun was wearing a big red dress with big sleeves and a pink dress underneath. She looked even more bright and charming, very royal.
Sister style.
After Qiaoyun came over, she was very satisfied when she saw the tea and snacks on the table and said, "It was Ziyan who was ignorant and neglected you last time. Don't take it to heart. I have already told her about it."
Yan Xiao looked at the woman standing behind Qiao Yun holding a tray and said, "So her name is Zi Yan, which matches her temperament very well."
Qiaoyun continued: "The deed has been drawn up. Seeing that you haven't come to me for a long time, I thought you weren't coming."
"How is this possible? How could I break the promise I made? It's just that the last time I went out to buy cloth, I was seen by someone, and I went to my mother-in-law to talk about it. I had no choice but to stay at home for a few days.
No one came, so I came out." Yan Xiao explained.
Qiaoyun heard this and said, "Why are there so many troublemakers? People who sow discord are usually either interested in your husband or they don't see you living well. Which one does this fall into?"
Yan Xiao said helplessly: "Can I say that there are both situations?"
"Oh, then you are quite unlucky. Do you want sister to give you a trick?" Qiaoyun said excitedly.
Yan Xiao looked at Qiao Yun who was even more excited than him, and lamented that no matter how successful a woman is in her career, she still can't escape the gossip. Yan Xiao said nonchalantly: "That's not necessary, let them go!"
"Sister, you are very big-hearted. To be honest, do you have no expectations for your current husband?" Qiaoyun said.
Yan Xiao was once again told the central story by Qiao Yun. It was a bit unbelievable. They had only met twice and this person had already told her the right story.
Qiao Yun looked at Yan Xiao looking at him with a look of disbelief on his face and said, "Sister is also someone who has been through this before. She knows all these things."
Yan Xiao heard what Qiao Yun said and asked curiously: "Sister, how did you solve it?"
Qiaoyun saw Yan Xiao looking at him very curiously, his eyes full of joy and enthusiasm for his affairs.
Qiaoyun sat straightening his clothes and said, "Have you forgotten what you came to do today?"
Qiao Yun's words suddenly reminded Yan Xiao that he was here to do business today, so why did he go astray? Yan Xiao looked at the tray behind Qiao Yun and said, "Has the deed been drawn up yet?"
Qiao Yun nodded, Zi Yan put the tray in front of Qiao Yun, Qiao Yun picked up the items on the tray and handed them to Yan Xiao and said: "You read the deed first, I have sent someone to invite Su Niang, it should be there in a while
coming."
"Okay!" Yan Xiao took it from Qiaoyun and looked at it. What was written on it was very reasonable. Qiaoyun said at the side: "In order to make our future cooperation smoother, I specially added a message: If you haven't been there for more than a month,
If you provide me with the drawings, you should pay me double the amount of silver according to the contract. This is mainly because if our clothes are bought in Xunyang, many people will come to buy them, and there will definitely be no shortage of customers.
Yes, it’s out of stock. If we don’t replenish new goods in time, we will definitely lose a lot of business. Can you understand?”
Yan Xiao nodded and expressed her understanding. She was quite confident in the clothes she designed. After the ready-made clothes are made, they will definitely be bought in Xunyang City. In this case, they must maintain new styles so as not to lose customers.
"But, Sister Qiao, after these ready-made clothes are made, how should we let others know about our clothes? It seems to me that all the clothes here are made by others." Yan Xiao asked.
"The only people who come to me to make clothes are nobles or ladies from wealthy families. What these people care most about is the style and style of the clothes. After all, these people get together every once in a while to drink tea and chat, all kinds of things.
Banquets. When these women get together, they just compete with their husbands. After the competition with their husbands, they compete with their sons, and then there’s jewelry and clothes. So, I only plan to make our clothes for these people, and I only make five of each style a month.
You can distinguish them in color, or make minor adjustments." Qiaoyun briefly told Yan Xiao about the situation here, and then said: "It just so happened that I was staying here for two days, and the wife of Cui Shishi's family and
The young ladies are coming to pick up clothes from me. I can take this opportunity to show them the drawings you gave me earlier. If the negotiation is successful, then our reputation will be established. However, our clothes should have a name.
Okay, you come and pick the name!"
"Shall I pick the name?" Yan Xiao said a little embarrassed.
"Yes, since you can draw clothes, it's natural for you to choose a name." Qiao Yun is very sure about Yan Xiao's ability. If you can draw such beautiful clothes, I believe you can choose a name.
It won't be bad.
"Okay, let me pick it up. This is the first piece of clothing we made. Let's call it Jian Jia." Yan Xiao said.
Qiao Yun heard Yan Xiao's name and blurted out: "Jian Jia is green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. A good name is Jian Jia."
When it came to naming the clothes, Yan Xiao didn't really have any special ideas at the time, but he had read a few poems before, and he could use the names from the poems.
"What's going on? Are you so happy?" The two were talking when a loud voice came from the other side of the bridge. Yanxiao turned around and saw that it was Su Niang, the owner of the cloth shop, who was here.
Su Niang, dressed in blue, walked over with brisk steps and said, "I heard you laughing happily from all the way away. What are you talking about?"
When Qiaoyun saw her good sister Su Niang coming, she quickly asked her to sit down and said, "We were just naming the clothes, and you came." Zi Yan, who was standing behind Qiao Yun, saw Su Niang rushing around.
It’s tea.
Su Niang sat down and looked at Yan Xiao carefully and said, "That day you told me that you wanted to make clothes and find the best tailor in Xunyang. I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect that I didn't know the hero.
I have such a keen eye, I never thought that you, a young lady, are quite capable and could come up with such beautiful clothes."
Yan Xiao was very embarrassed to be told by Su Niang, but according to Su Niang's words, has Su Niang seen the drawings she drew? Yan Xiao looked at Qiao Yun with suspicion. Seeing this, Qiao Yun hurriedly explained: "I haven't seen it yet.
Let me tell you, I have made your dress. Yesterday Su Niang came to my place to deliver materials and happened to see that dress."
"I'm being petty if I'm willing to do this." Yan Xiao apologized.
"It's okay, it's normal for you to have doubts once." Qiaoyun said.
"Since Su Niang is here, let's sign the deed first and talk about it later," Qiaoyun said.
"That's fine."
So, the three people signed the deed, and then it was divided into three parts. Each party held one copy, and the notary held one copy. From the moment the deed was signed, the deed became effective. If there are any conflicts in the future,
Anyone can bring this deed to the Yamen to lodge a complaint.
"Oh, the two bosses will have to take care of the business of the store in the future!" Su Niang joked.
Qiaoyun saw his good sister's shameless look at the side and exposed her unceremoniously: "I don't take care of your store's business on weekdays."
"Yes, yes, thanks to having a wife, the little girl can support herself. But from now on, your business has taken another step forward, which is really making people jealous." Su Niang is sour.
Said angrily.
"You run the largest cloth shop in Xunyang and make a lot of money every day. It's so shameless for you to tease me." Qiaoyun said angrily.
Yan Xiao was shocked when she heard that Su Niang was the owner of the largest cloth shop in Xunyang. She didn't expect that she was so lucky. In one day, she actually met two of the most famous female bosses in the city. Her luck was also very good.
Bar!
Qiao Yun saw Yan Xiao's shocked look and said with a smile: "Don't look at her immoral look. Her family is the largest cloth merchant in Xunyang. She is the only daughter in their family. She is really treated as the apple of their eye and they are pampered. However,
She comes from such a good family and refuses to marry her off. She just likes to count money all day long."
Su Niang said nonchalantly: "It's great to count money. Why should I find a husband and son who make me depressed instead of doing happy things? I don't think I can live a long life." Su Niang said.
After finishing speaking, Ziyan came over with tea and a plate of snacks. She placed the tea in front of Su Niang, and then specially placed the plate of snacks in front of Su Niang.
Su Niang saw it and smiled and said: "Little Ziyan is still so sensible, unlike your master who laughs at me all day long." Su Niang said and touched Zi Yan's little hand, which made Zi Yan's face turn red all of a sudden.
, said: "My lady, please have some tea!" After saying that, she took the tray and ran away.
Yan Xiao looked at Ziyan's shy reaction, and it was clear that something was wrong, but she didn't know if the person involved knew that she had already made someone else fall in love.
Qiaoyun looked at Su Niang's careless look and said, "Why are you pretending to be a bad scoundrel?"
"Who said Ziyan is so cute?" She took a sip of tea and said proudly, "Today's tea is really good." Then she took another bite of snacks and smacked her tongue: "The snacks are really delicious too.
