Madam Hong Yingrong, wife of Marquis Xingyuan, lived a life of wealth and luxury, adorned in fine silks and delicious food.
Those around her constantly painted a picture of peace, allowing he...
This coincided with what Jiang Shuxiu had in mind. When she checked the account books of the three antique shops before, she had already discovered that there were many loopholes and the income and expenditure were seriously uneven.
Sanniang suggested that the original antique shop be converted into an affordable fabric store, and that two existing silk shops located in busy streets be selected to focus on selling high-end fabrics.
The several boxes of cloth that the Shen family sent to the Marquis' Mansion along with the letter were all from the cloth shop she ran in Jiangning.
Although the cloth shop currently has only fifty looms, each shuttle loom has been carefully improved to improve the quality of the woven fabrics.
This time, several boxes of finished fabrics were delivered for Jiang Shuxiu to refer to and decide whether she was willing to sell them in the shop in the Marquis' Mansion.
When Jiang Shuxiu read this, he suddenly became interested and his tiredness disappeared.
She immediately ordered Lai Xi and Bing Qiao to take her to the warehouse, eager to see the beauty of the fabrics.
Sure enough, when the boxes in the warehouse were opened, Jiang Shuxiu saw a lot of fine-grained cotton cloth in sky blue and smoky colors.
Although the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was prosperous and wealthy, ordinary people still made up the majority of the population.
For them, although coarse linen is durable, its texture is too rough and its color is dull; and although silk and brocade are gorgeous and elegant, their prices are prohibitive and unaffordable.
Jiang Shuxiu gently stroked the fine-grained cotton cloth in her hand. It felt delicate and smooth, practical yet elegant, and was indeed an excellent compromise.
In addition, there were many high-quality satins that caught Jiang Shuxiu's attention.
These satins incorporate the exquisite craftsmanship of Jiangnan kesi silk, with the grape-branch pattern on them featuring delicate silk threads and elegant and refined styles.
When Jiang Shuxiu looked at it carefully, she found that the Tianxiang Luo she was wearing was much inferior to it.
She felt excited, as if she had already seen the scene where these fabrics were sold in the shop of the Marquis' Mansion and were sought after by customers.
