Chapter 69 Distress

The next day, when the sky was bright, Shen Mingjiao opened his eyes lazily. After washing and eating, he swept the quilt on the Arhat bed and remembered Feng Lisheng.

She has never held grudges very much, after all, she would avenge her on the spot.

She asked Haitang: "When did your highness get up?"

"Yinshizheng. It's half an hour later than usual."

Shen Mingjiao said oh and put the quilt back on the bed.

Haitang breathed a deep sigh of relief when he saw this.

Seeing that there was nothing going on in the house, Shen Mingjiao thought about going to the Beautiful Pavilion. It was time for her ready-made clothing store to be opened.

Compared with the bustling stores around it, Beautiful Pavilion still looked very deserted. As usual, Grandma Tao carefully wiped the tables, chairs and shelves in the store, and sighed longly when she looked at the huge and deserted store.

At this time, she saw Shen Mingjiao leading Haitang in, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Shen Mingjiao gently raised her hand to help the person up: "Mommy, don't be polite to me,"

Aunt Tao straightened up and asked Shen Mingjiao, "I wonder if the princess is coming over today?"

Shen Mingjiao randomly picked up an old piece of clothing that had been stored for a long time and looked through it: "I plan to renovate the beautiful pavilion and run it well."

Aunt Tao thought that Shen Mingjiao wanted to reopen this shop because the princess had opened it before, so she smiled happily:

"That's fine. If the princess knew about it, she would be very happy."

Shen Mingjiao smiled when she heard this and did not explain.

Grandma Tao turned serious and said: "Since the princess plans to take over this store, the old slave can rest assured. However, the old slave is old and is not good at running a shop. Please ask the princess to hire a smarter shopkeeper.

."

Shen Mingjiao did not accept her words, but looked at the clean store and praised: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

Aunt Tao replied sternly: "This is a slave's duty."

Shen Mingjiao smiled. Even though the business in the store was so deserted, Grandma Tao was able to clean it carefully every day. This is easy to say, but most people tend to be lazy.

Therefore, it can be seen from this that Grandma Tao may not have a smooth temper, but she is a firm-minded person.

Such people are often absolutely loyal and able to withstand temptation.

Aunt Tao sighed secretly in her heart. This store was the only thing the princess left for her. She had kept it for so many years, but now she was about to leave. She was still reluctant to leave. She couldn't help but ask Shen Mingjiao:

"What did 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 clothes."

Aunt Tao frowned and said, "But across from us is Jinxiufang. It's probably not easy to sell high-end ready-made clothes."

Shen Mingjiao: "Jinxiufang is the largest ready-made clothing store in the capital, and its branches have opened in many prosperous state capitals of Daxia. It can be said that in the hearts of many ladies, Jinxiufang no longer represents a piece of clothing, but a kind of clothing.

A symbol of luxury.”

"So we have to find another way. Although the clothes sold by Jinxiufang are beautiful and exquisite, they are not suitable for everyone. Some ladies often like a piece of clothing, but regret giving it up because it does not match their body shape and temperament."

"So why don't we open a tailor-made clothing store to ensure that the clothes everyone buys are unique."

Aunt Tao frowned and thought: "Princess, this is a good idea, but it is difficult to implement. First of all, if you want to achieve the kind of private customization that Princess said, the shop must have a very resounding reputation. This will be possible over time."

accumulated,

The most important thing is where can we find so many show girls who are clever and can design unique clothes for each customer?"

Shen Mingjiao flipped through the piles of fabrics and picked out the ones that she thought were good. The midsummer styles were really old.

She plans to have it sold at a low price in the west of the city. After all, the East Street is full of dignitaries. If you sell your things too cheap, they will feel that they have lost their value.

Hearing what Grandma Tao said, she pointed to herself: "I can help design clothes for customers!"

Aunt Tao was helpless, thinking that she was just acting on a whim, so she persuaded her somewhat bluntly: "But Princess, you are alone..."

Shen Mingjiao waved her hand and said with a smile: "I have thought about this for a long time. We can hold a recruitment fair for the whole of Daxia by then, specifically recruiting people who can design clothes, regardless of identity, gender, and they do not have to be Xiu Niang.

.The top twenty will receive silver rewards ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 taels."

Aunt Tao's eyes lit up, "Princess, this is a good idea. Once the silver reward comes out, there will be many people who want to participate."

Shen Mingjiao smiled and said: "Don't rush this, we have to slowly build up our reputation first."

She asked Aunt Tao to sort out the usable fabrics. As for the clothes downstairs, she picked out the ones that seemed to her to be barely good and sold the rest.

Afterwards, I discussed with Grandma Tao the decoration and improvement of the store.

By the time the master and servant came out, it was almost lunch time. Shen Mingjiao was indeed a little hungry.

However, 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 wontons?"

Shen Mingjiao was also a little moved. The two of them got into the carriage and ordered the driver to go to the snack street in the west of the city.

Tiezhu followed Feng Lisheng to the military camp, so the person in charge of driving the carriage today was a boy named Yongfu.

Although he is not very smart, he can drive the carriage very steadily.

We arrived at Chengxi Snack Street. I don’t know what day it was, but the area was quite lively.

Shen Mingjiao ordered Yongfu to drive the carriage aside, and she and Haitang walked over.

Although Yongfu felt that this seemed inappropriate, it was the princess's order and she did not dare to disobey it.

Shen Mingjiao went to the familiar wonton stall and ordered two wontons. The master and servant chatted while eating.

And in the crowd not far away, there was a pair of cold eyes watching them closely.

After Shen Mingjiao finished eating her wontons, she felt that time was almost up, so she got up and prepared to go back.

But at this moment, a crazy horse rushed over from nowhere, and the bustling crowd was immediately scattered, leaving the scene in chaos.

Shen Mingjiao and Shen Mingjiao were squeezed back by the crowd. Seeing that they were about to be separated, Haitang quickly pushed away the person in front of her and reached out to grab Shen Mingjiao's arm.

But she saw Shen Mingjiao being dragged forward by two men holding her arms. Haitang's face turned pale with fright, and she used brute force to drive away the crowd regardless, and chased in the direction Shen Mingjiao left.
