The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 319

[319. Chapter 319 Business Road]

The hazy sky light filtered through the window paper, and on the bed in the main house, Mu Xiyao was naked and surrounded by Zong Zhenglin. The snow skin is tender, and the pink back is tightly pressed against his chest. The man was naked and wearing trousers, his arms were pressed by her small head, and he did not move all night.

“His Royal Highness, the time has come.” Wei Zhen reported in a low voice outside, fearing that the voice was too loud and woke up the person who must have a bad temper every time he got up.

Slowly opened his eyes, but in an instant, Fengmu’s eyes were already clear.

“Yeah.” He answered in a very low voice, and wanted to sit up, only to realize that the little woman had slept soundly on his arm. Zong Zhenglin looked soft and leaned over to kiss her side face. Fragrant and warm, tender and sticky, a little man. Gently pull out the arm, the internal force runs, and it will return to the original in a moment.

The little woman was not convinced by him last night. Before going to bed, with all his strength, he dragged his arm angrily and dragged it under his head to rest on the pillow, and kept saying, “The concubine has to be pressed back.” Before he finished speaking, the man had already mumbled vaguely and closed his eyes.

The palm of his hand caressed her sleepy hairy head, and the Sixth Highness smiled. As long as she can scratch him twice like a cat scratch, this woman has never been polite.

Putting on a robe and tidying up the quilt for her, Zong Zhenglin bypassed the screen and pushed out the door. Today, I need to communicate with the Chinese army and send a letter to Beijing by the way.

When Huilan entered the room and called out, Mu Xiyao was still impatient, hugging the quilt and covering her face with her little butt.

“Master, don’t you want to go to Jiahefang today? If you don’t get up again, the two little masters will come to the house after noon. Where do you have free time?”

Jiayifang opened in Xicheng, and Mu Xiyao had no choice but to Temporarily change his name to a new name. At this time, it is not appropriate for the North to spread the news that is too eye-catching and has something to do with her.

Speaking of serious things, I really can’t stand it, so I have to sit up. When he turned his head to the side, he saw Saren propping up the window, a crape myrtle sticking out from the outside, and the peach buds were full of fragrant stamens, and half of their face was exposed under the golden sun. A pair of goose-yellow Cuiying birds fluttered away from Saren’s fright, and Mu Xiyao was suddenly refreshed.

“Master, something good will happen today. This good omen came to you early, and it makes people happy to see it.” Saren turned back happily, his face full of smiles.

In the eyes of the Hu people in Xicheng, the Cuiying bird is like a magpie to the Han people, with auspicious and festive meanings.

Mu Xiyao nodded with a smile, rarely losing her temper in the morning. The master looks good, and the people serving in the courtyard are naturally beaming with each other, and they work a little harder.

I packed up myself, passed the news to the front, and honestly explained the matter of going out. The main point is that I will return before noon, and I will definitely accompany His Royal Highness for dinner. Sure enough, it was very smooth and she got her master’s consent. Last night, I had a little gratification, and this morning, I was so acquainted and respectful that Zong Zhenglin was finally satisfied.

The shop under the new plate is opened at the intersection of the street, which is the best location. Opposite is the time-honored cloth village in Xicheng, and Jiahefang happens to be dealing with ready-to-wear jewelry. Most of the guests will stop by to have a look when they choose the fabrics in the cloth village. If you like it, you can also order clothes in the store together. Those from a better family would even choose two hand-cuffed silk paintings in the shop.

On the second floor, there are three elegant private rooms, which are specially used for greeting dignitaries. Just like the rules in Shengjing, all the objects made are only five or six pieces, and the quota is full. If you want any more, you have to place an order one month in advance, and wait in line on a first-come, first-served basis.

This rare wind, which was first blown out of Shengjing, has already spread throughout the Great Wei Dynasty. Most of the noble owners who patronize the store will follow the example and consciously increase their value. Mu Xiyao was not afraid of revealing traces.

The only thing that surprised her was Zong Zhenglin himself inscribed the plaque. Mingmingyang, he changed to a softer official script, and those oily heads in the officialdom still smelled something unusual. A good handwriting can naturally attract business. The Sixth Highness’s introverted collection-grade calligraphy, in addition to attracting flattering people, there is also an affair that makes her cry and laugh.

There has been a lot of rumors in the outside world. The owner behind this shop is the recently famous “Mrs. Hibiscus.” This background is not small.

According to the gatekeeper of the yali secretly revealed that when His Highness first came to Xicheng, Fang Sheng was delivered every day with the incense of hibiscus. Although there are many elegant love notes that are received together, but only, His Royal Highness seems to be particularly concerned about this Mujin note. Once accidentally dropped Fang Sheng on the ground, the concierge saw that Master Wei’s face changed, and then picked it up, but carefully threw the dust into his sleeve.

The subordinates secretly guessed that, in addition to the well-known female official Lin who is around, I am afraid that Mrs. Mujin is also the guest of the curtain. In Xicheng, the “grand madams” of various families were in fact widowed at a young age, succeeding the husband’s family’s property, and being a wealthy lady of charm. No two have a head and a face outside, and they are secretly hooking up with each other.

This Mrs. Mujin can bypass the vicious woman in the west of the city and ask His Royal Highness for a calligraphic treasure to be displayed at the door of her own store, which shows that it is not easy to provoke.

Because of this rumor, the business of Jiahefang has been booming since the day it opened, and the shop on the opposite street has gradually become lively. It’s been more than half a month now, and because of the official lady, Xiaojiao’s bicycle frame has come and gone, and the whole street has become prosperous.

“Master, it’s here.” Na Ren bowed and raised the curtain, Mu Xiyao covered her face with a veil, and entered the back hall through the side door. Before the person could sit down, the new shopkeeper with a worried look came up to him like a savior.

“Master, you have come.” Mu Xiyao personally selected the embroidered mother of the Hu family, and sighed repeatedly when she saw the person coming.

“Don’t worry, sit down and talk.” Yesterday, the daughter-in-law of the Lei family sent a message, saying that there was an urgent matter to report, but unfortunately, something unfortunate happened, and she bumped into the Sixth Highness and returned to the house. Mu Xiyao was incapable of avatars, so he naturally had to take care of the most important one first.

The new shopkeeper couldn’t be more anxious. Seeing that the owner was so unhurried and didn’t dare to contradict him, he had to follow behind her, and waited for this An An to take a seat and served tea, and then hurriedly continued.

“Master, six days ago, we also opened a tailor’s shop called ‘Xiangyiguan’ at the end of the street. The style inside is similar to our Jiahefang. Not only is it similar, but the price is much cheaper.” What matters is that people are not small. Even the name of “Mrs. Mujin” that the owner is out of has not been able to overwhelm the other party.

“It’s rumored now, that Xiangyiguan is the money invested by Guan Erye, a descendant of the concubine’s family, to open a shop for his concubine. It’s just to earn a daily allowance.”

Mu Xiyao took a sip of tea in the In the mouth, there was almost no ugliness. It’s all messed up, distant relatives who can’t fight. In the eyes of the common people, the crown prince’s name is indeed more intimidating than her Royal Highness.

“That’s it, what should I do?” It was just imitation, and after all, it was inferior.

“Master, you don’t know something. The drawing master hired by that family is also very capable. The pattern you drew, let people look at it, and then carefully ponder the addition or subtraction of strokes, and do it carefully, until the end , actually got a better reputation than Jiahefang. In the past two days, many customers in our shop have been attracted. Even the number of orders for the next month is not enough.”

“You mean, someone is there. A slight change in the concubine’s design, and then taking this to steal Jiahefang’s business?” Mu Xiyao put the tea cup away, already displeased.

“More than that, the bad is bad. Yesterday, there was a rumor that the items sold in Jiahefang were all selected from the old style of the clothing store, which is not only suspected of embezzlement, but also unworthy of the scene.”

Yo, It also took a bite. Mu Xiyao’s eyes narrowed, staring at Tiaoji Shang Qiangwei with a fascination.

Jiahefang was opened in Xicheng. Originally, I painted tricks when I was bored, and I was reluctant to throw it away. Thinking that the steward of Jiayifang in Shengjing City **** said that the shop should have been opened in the north, he was diligent for a while and made a shop. This can also be bitten by a vicious dog, Mu Xiyao is really unhappy.

“The relative of the crown prince’s family, the lady in charge, don’t have to worry. If you really want to get close to the crown prince, who would dare to speak out so blatantly? It’s just a fox and a tiger, and I feel that this place is far away from Shengjing, and there is no news of the crown prince. It’s just in my ears. This man is daring, but he has a relationship with his family, so he dares to cling to it secretly. Not to mention that he is looking for the crown princess, concubine, look, if something really happened, he is not busy to clear it up. It’s good.”

The crown prince is useless. Although the crown prince does not please her, she is not a fool after all. The old man is most tired of all kinds of gossips. The concubine in the palace does not dare to support his mother’s family, let alone the prince and the concubine.

“Aside from the relationship of the Crown Princess, let’s use businessman’s methods to solve the business matter. If there are still people looking for trouble, we will report it to the government, and we will take care of it.” , Mu Xiyao was not in a hurry, her mind kept spinning.

Originally, if we were at peace with each other, and this area flourished, everyone would benefit from it, right? However, some people are too greedy, want to swallow all the benefits, and are not afraid that they can’t bear it.

Want to step on her to make things happen? That person can come up with such a bad idea, if he doesn’t give a lesson, he is afraid that all kinds of troubles will follow in the future.

“Miss shopkeeper, listen carefully to what the concubine said.” As the greeter approached, Mu Xiyao smiled, her eyes shining brightly.

The lady of the Lei family listened to her so eloquently, everything was fresh, her eyes were full of brilliance, not to mention how happy she was in her heart. This errand is not easy for her to come by. The salary of the shopkeeper alone is enough for her family to save two months of expenses, not to mention the bonus that the owner has generously promised to give at the end of the month. As long as the owner’s business continues, she is reluctant to leave.

After this day, something strange happened in Xicheng. All the clothes and jewelry made by Jiahefang must have the word “Jiahe” embroidered on the corners of the internal measurement. There are also special pictures of embroidery patterns in the store, and the blank space is extremely rare.

Not only that, the shop that used to sell rouge gouache on the opposite side of Jiahefang is now unbelievable. After thinking about the clothing shop, there is one more ready-to-wear shop on this street.

Everyone is watching a good show, waiting for the three shops on the same street to fight to the death, just in time to catch up with the fisherman. However, this result surprised everyone.

In the blink of an eye, it only took three to five days, and Jiahefang, which had already shown a decadent appearance, was actually brought back to life, but within a few days, it seemed that sesame seeds were blooming, and the business was more prosperous than before. Looking at the remaining two, not only did they fail to prevent Jiahefang from thriving, but at the moment, all of them were stunned, and the business was so dismal that they would have to close down soon.
