As a result, this matter went through a "simple procedure" just like all the ordinary disputes that happen every day in Dongmen City. After the police arrived, the Qu family apologized and compensated for the loss of store items, and then filed a lawsuit for "disturbing business order."
After paying a fine of fifty yuan, the matter is over.
Of course, He Xiaoyue and Guo Xier also warned the Qu family and the others that this was the Song Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty. If they did anything outrageous to Zhou Sumiang after returning, they would be punished by law. But other than that, they really couldn't do anything.
Already.
When Zhou Sumiang left, He Xiaoyue glanced at her, thinking that she had taken a huge risk to come here because of Wu Xinsheng, but she tried every means to shirk it. She couldn't help but feel guilty. She was about to open her mouth to say something to comfort her, but she didn't wait.
Whatever she said, Zhou Sumiang turned around and left. He Xiaoyue watched her disappear at the end of the corridor surrounded by several maids.
"It's so troublesome now!" Guo Xi'er let out a long breath, "Zhou Su Niang is also really in trouble this time! What's so good about Old Wu? It has to be him."
He Xiaoyue didn't say anything. She always felt a little inappropriate and a little guilty about what happened today.
Zhou Sumiang will suffer a lot this time back. Although she is favored, it is a "serious crime" for a female family member to go out without permission in any big family. Mrs. Qu is justified in punishing her - not to mention the amulet "Master Qu"
Not here yet.
Thinking of this, she felt even more apologetic. If she had known she should have accepted the letter, it would have saved her the risk of running out to deliver the letter.
However, if they really helped her and Wu Xinsheng to set up a line, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with later? Alas, in fact, it would be clean if they simply eloped, and it would be over. The Qu family could just stare...
While he was hesitating, the discerning female clerk had already brought new tea for the guests and asked them to "quell their shock."
The fragrant aroma of tea floated in the studio, and the rich fragrance soothed their once-messy mood.
"It was such a mess on a good day!" Guo Xi'er continued to mutter dissatisfiedly, "I originally wanted to draw two more sketches in the afternoon."
He Xiaoyue had no intention of chatting, so she opened the blinds casually, and the sunlight was shining brightly, making her feel dizzy.
She suddenly had a familiar fear - when she was a child, her own mother had been ostracized by the older woman in the family, and she felt so helpless and terrified, fearing that others would no longer love her or abandon her.
You have to give up all your dignity to survive on your knees...
He Xiaoyue vaguely felt that she should not think about it any more.
She took a deep breath, shook her head, and was about to go back to the design room when she noticed a piece of paper peeking out from the gap in the sofa in the reception room.
The color and pattern seemed to be the letter Zhou Sumiang asked her to give to Wu Xinsheng just now.
Without thinking too much, He Xiaoyue quickly pulled out the paper - it was indeed a letter! The cover of the letter was specially customized by a wealthy family. The color and pattern were very suppressed. There was not a single word on the letter, and only the seal was decorated with "Zhou Sumiang".
monogram.
The inside of the envelope is very thin, most likely only one page of letterhead, with nothing included.
This was probably stuffed in by Zhou Sumiang on purpose. He Xiaoyue thought to herself that she still had that thought. She sighed in her heart and was no longer as disgusted with this matter as before. She thought about it and stuffed the letter into her pocket.
She didn't tell Guo Xi'er about the letter, so not only could she not come up with an idea, but she also had to tell the whole world about it.
Returning to the design office, she immediately got busy. Recently, Wanzi Pavilion hired veteran Liu Shuixin as a "consultant" to introduce "new fashion". In addition to facing the needs of large households, she also began to consider the needs of naturalized citizens.
The "light luxury" needs of the middle and upper class. According to her creative direction, He Xiaoyue has been racking her brains to draw new design drafts.
Since the first time she presided over the design of Weiyu Pingsheng, she has achieved good results, both long and short styles have achieved very good results - of course, short styles are mostly designed by female veterans and people around them.
There is no need to rush the order and skirt length.
But He Xiaoyue has since become Liu Shuixin's key training list. Everyone can read fashion books, and just copying the styles of the old time and space is enough for them to use for decades. But how to cultivate a "fashion sense" is a science and a
As for the knowledge of metaphysics, there will be more and more designers like Guo Xier who rely on reading "reference materials" and making collages in the future, but it is not easy to find people with a certain sense of fashion.
There should be a lot of talents like He Xiaoyue among the naturalized people, but they have not been discovered yet. When Pei Lixiu was in high school, she also said that she would bring fashion magazines to Guangzhou to set off a new wave of fashion and tap fashion talents.
At that time, I just echoed a few words, but now I am thinking about it seriously.
Liu Shui
Yes, the reason why women in the civilized world of old time and space wore short skirts and off-the-shoulder clothing unscrupulously was because in such an environment, such clothing was just ordinary clothing in the eyes of others, and they would not be morally criticized and criticized for it.
Physical attack.
In Lingao today, women's clothing has been liberalized a lot in the past ten years. This is partly due to the trend-following effect brought about by the strength of the Senate, but the most essential reason is the improvement of women's social status. He Xiaoyue's changes are the best example.
.
Changing customs is easier said than done. Lingao is a blank sheet of paper for drawing, but Guangzhou has a deep-rooted traditional culture, and the public security in Guangzhou is incomparable to Lingao.
Liu Shuixin thought hard about how to open up the market and how to "change customs". Relying on Ziminglou to promote is a wrong way. This is normal clothing, and it is not good to be associated with Ziminglou...especially the service industry. There are too many links to it, so others don't dare to make trouble.
Wear it out. Open a store in the big world? It doesn’t seem difficult, but in fact it’s a big problem. Who will buy this thing? The female relatives of wealthy families in Guangzhou? They can’t count on it.
Liu Shuixin thought hard for a long time. Apart from opening a Guangzhou version of Wanzi Pavilion, which was of some practical significance, she couldn't think of any other solution, so she had to put the matter on hold.
Although there is no way, talents can be cultivated first. Under her instructions, He Xiaoyue was officially appointed as an assistant designer by Wanzi Pavilion to learn systematic design knowledge. The assistant designer was on a higher level than her previous trainee designer.
A step.
This afternoon, Liu Shuixin will come to Wanzi Pavilion to "guide the work", and by the way, she will also check the "homework" she assigned to He Xiaoyue.
What she is currently drawing on the drawing board is a piece of women's clothing that is scheduled to be sold in "new areas" such as Guangzhou. In terms of subject matter, it can be regarded as "Han element" fashion. This kind of fashion is considered a common project of Wanzi Pavilion, and He Xiaoyue has designed it several times.
times. But this time, Liu Shuixin focused on the concept of sales area
"It must meet the needs of customers in new areas like Guangzhou."
This is worth pondering. In other words, it must not only be "good-looking", "new" and "contain traditional elements" but also cater to "needs".
However, this demand was the most elusive. Liu Shuixin had talked with her about some concepts such as "customer profiling" and "cultural conflict", but for He Xiaoyue, it was still a little difficult to understand and apply these concepts. No matter how you try to figure it out,
The manuscripts that came out were a little less interesting.
"This Australian Newspeak is really difficult to understand." He Xiaoyue looked at the sketch on the drawing board and sighed. Not to mention Liu Shuixin, she herself was not satisfied with it.
While she was worrying, the female clerk opened the door of the design room again and poked her head in.
"What's wrong?" Guo Xier was startled.
"Master Wu is here!"
At this time, both He Xiaoyue and Guo Xier showed incredible expressions: These two people must have made an appointment!
After Wu Xinsheng came back, he sent an official liaison letter. Originally, in addition to bringing the female textile workers from the Nansha Factory back for training, he also brought two female workers - who were scheduled to study at the Wanzi Pavilion garment factory.
Making lace craftsmanship was promoted as a family side job after returning home.
But that time when Wu Xinsheng came to contact the business, there was nothing strange about him, nor did he show any interest in any of the customers.
Is this just a coincidence? He Xiaoyue was full of doubts.
Should she give him the letter? From the bottom of her heart, she sympathized with Zhou Sumiang very much. She tried her best and took risks to send the letter again and again. Wouldn't it be too cruel if she didn't get any reply at all.
But if you give him the letter, the situation will be out of control. If something happens, not only Zhou Su Niang and Wu Xinsheng will be harmed, but you will also be affected.
She struggled in her heart for a long time, not knowing whether she should hand over the letter or not.
Before he could make up his mind, Wu Xinsheng had already arrived. After he went to Nansha, he became thinner and darker, and his complexion was much leaner than in Wanzi Pavilion. As soon as he entered the design room, he greeted him warmly
Come.
"Ximei" "Xiaoyue!"
"Oh, Brother Xinsheng!" Guo Xier didn't take the letter, and he didn't think as much as He Xiaoyue. He met an old acquaintance and immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Why are you here?"
"Come to reminisce about old times." Looking at Wu Xinsheng's expression, he seemed to be very happy and not at all sad. "I'm also here to ask for help."
