Chapter 473

"The so-called celebrity effect is a person who is recognized by everyone and attracts attention. His preferences will attract everyone to imitate him. His influence is extraordinary."

"For example, Zhenbaofang has a new model of jade butterfly and glazed pearls. Cui Yudie, the prime minister's daughter, bought one immediately. Within ten days, almost all the famous ladies in the capital had one. Although not every shape is exactly the same. , but the way the glass pearls are matched is crazy.”

Mrs. Su suddenly understood Jiang Shuyue's explanation.

Her eyes lit up, "What Yue'er said reminds me that noble ladies do have this hobby. Whenever a young lady has a beautiful dress, other young ladies will also ask the embroiderer to imitate that style. "

"What my aunt said is absolutely true. This is just a consumption effect. The same thing will have no impact at all if it is worn by ordinary people."

Qiu Ju counted on her fingers, "It will take at least three days for several embroiderers to make a robe. If it is a complicated embroidery style, it will take seven or eight days at the fastest."

The more Qiu Ju counted to the end, the smile on her face deepened.

"Miss, I'll go right away and try to get the business started in early March."

Before Jiang Shuyue could answer, Qiu Ju ran out like a gust of wind.

"This girl Qiu Ju is still the same as she was before she got married. She seems to be lively, careful and quick in her work." Mrs. Su praised her.

Everyone was busy until noon, so no one had time to cook, so Mrs. Su asked the restaurant across the street to deliver food.

Jiang Shuyue thought that her aunt had no business experience, so she stayed with her in the shop for half a day.

Zhang Man and his wife do things in an orderly manner, writing down every amount of money they receive.

The newly hired waiter is also diligent and has an eye for work. He does not need the shopkeeper to keep an eye on the arrangements. Everyone works together to keep the shop in order.

When the waiter at the restaurant brought the food, Zhang Man asked everyone to eat first while he guarded the shop in front.

While there were not many people on the street, he took a broom and went to the shop door to clean up the firecracker confetti.

I was immersed in sweeping the floor when suddenly a familiar voice sounded above my head.

"Brother Man, I've found you." The voice was full of surprise.

"Brother Qingsheng! Sister-in-law, why don't you rest at home for a few more days before going to the city?"

Zhang Man looked up and saw Qingsheng standing in front of him with a big burden on his shoulders.

Sister-in-law Qingsheng was holding her child and looking at the shop curiously.

"This village is really luxurious, and the furnishings inside are not cheap at first sight." Qingsheng's sister-in-law looked like she had never seen the world. She only glanced at it and then timidly looked away.

"Don't worry, Brother Man, I have recovered. Miss's pills are really magical. After using them, I feel refreshed and feel better than before."

Qingsheng was afraid that Zhang Man wouldn't believe it, so he puffed up his chest as he spoke, his eyes were moist and bright, and he was full of energy.

Zhang Man lightly punched Qingsheng's chest and said, "You came at the right time today. The young lady and madam are both here. Come on, I will take you in to meet the madam."

Zhang Man led the couple into the backyard.

"Brother Qingsheng, sister-in-law!"

Erniu put down her bowls and chopsticks and went up to take the child from Qingsheng's wife's hands.

"You haven't had lunch yet? Come sit down and eat together."

Jiang Shuyue heard the sound in the next room, put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Mrs. Su.

"Aunt, Qingsheng and his wife are here. You see, you need someone here. If you can't use him, I will put him in a restaurant. Qingsheng is a well-educated person, honest and honest, and he is a useful person."

Before Jiang Shuyue finished speaking, Mrs. Su said quickly: "Since he and Zhang Man are from the same village, let's stay here and take care of each other."

In this way, Qingsheng stayed in Jinxiufang to help. Qingsheng's wife was illiterate, and the shop happened to be short of a cook.

The couple, like Zhang Man, signed an employment contract, and their children in the future could also study and take the imperial examination.

The couple kowtowed to Mrs. Su and Jiang Shuyue with tears of gratitude.

…

In the palace.

After Yonghe received the cloth sent to the palace by Mrs. Su, he sent someone to deliver it to the Clothing Bureau.

The clothing bureau has the measurements of the ladies, especially the two princesses who are growing taller. They will measure their clothes, shoes and socks every three months.

Everything is recorded in a book to make it easier for the masters to make new clothes and shoes.

In the Yonghe Palace, Changle was eating cakes in his mouth, his calves curled up and down, leisurely and at ease.

A pair of phoenix eyes looked towards the door from time to time.

Yonghe looked away from the book and happened to see her absent-minded expression.

"Who are you waiting for? Don't wait. Today, the emperor is holding a banquet to meet foreign envoys. He will definitely take him to see him every year. It is impossible for him to come and play today."

Yonghe seemed to have seen through Changle's thoughts.

Chang Le sucked her fingers that were stained with pastry crumbs, "Sister Huang guessed wrong. I know Suisui is very busy recently. I'm waiting for Jing'er to come back and reply."

"What did you ask Jing'er to do again?" Yonghe's heart suddenly rose.

The queen's mother was not in the palace, and the emperor's brother was busy with government affairs. She often had to entertain the noble ladies in the capital, and she had to keep an eye on this inconspicuous sister.

She was afraid that if she was a little careless, Chang Le would cause some serious disaster.

Seeing the nervous look on Sister Huang's face, Changle burst out laughing.

"Sister Huang, you are so funny. What else can I do? Of course I send Jing'er to the Clothing Bureau to urge the embroidery girls to make dresses. The fabric Mrs. Su sent me is so beautiful. I like it so much."

Yonghe put down the book in his hand and pushed the veil on the table in front of Changle.

"My mother is not in the palace, and you have forgotten etiquette again. You have such a carefree temperament, and you put on such a beautiful dress. If you don't pay attention to your manners, you will not be able to reflect the beauty of the dress."

Changle took the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sister Huang always talks in roundabout ways. What you mean is that no matter how beautiful the clothes are, if I put them on and run around in the palace, I will still look like a crazy girl. That's what you mean. ”

Yonghe looked at Changle with doting eyes and shook his head helplessly, "You! Sister Huang has nothing to do with you. Do you want to write a letter to Yannan and ask Aunt Cai to return to the palace first?"

"That's not necessary. The Queen Mother is not in the palace, and I didn't tease Lou Zi. Please don't disturb me, Princess. I'll read for a while."

Chang Le said as he picked up a book on the table and opened it. His serious look made the maids serving in the palace lower their heads and their shoulders shook like chaff.

"Ahem! Your Highness."

A palace maid looked up while suppressing a smile, and saw that the book in Changle's hand was held upside down.

The palace maid coughed twice and winked at Changle.

Changle blinked, "Are your eyesight bad?"

"No, I'm fine, slave."

When the palace maid saw Princess Yonghe looking towards her, she quickly raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, "Maybe the eyelashes fell out of her eyes."

Yonghe was used to seeing people around Changle quarreling with her, so she turned her eyes to Changle opposite her again.

"Changle, do you know the Four Books and Five Classics by heart?"

"Ah! Why did the emperor say this?"
