Wu Yiming opened a new clothing store in the capital, named Wu's Clothing Store. It sells all kinds of ready-made clothes, regardless of the dynasty, as well as modified clothes.

Most women couldn't resist such a ready-made clothing store, and Yunrong didn't mind lending her name to Wu Yiming for advertising, so rumors gradually spread that this ready-made clothing store had the same styles as those worn by royalty.

Although it's just a rumor, it's enough to entice people to step inside.

Wu's Clothing Store became popular, but this popularity was mainly for the upper class, since the prices of the clothes there were not affordable for ordinary people.

Qiu Wen, who was pregnant, also learned about this. Bored, she wanted to go and see for herself, but then she found that she couldn't get out. That's right, she couldn't get out.

Why?

Because her mother-in-law, Madam Zhang, wouldn't allow it, Zhang Tingzan got married a year before Zhang Tingyu. But to this day, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family still hasn't conceived.

Madam Zhang was not unconcerned, but the doctor said that the eldest son of Zhang was somewhat weak and should not have frequent sexual intercourse. In addition, his weak constitution made it difficult for him to conceive.

What else could Madam Zhang say? She couldn't bring herself to blame her eldest daughter-in-law for her son's actions!

So he focused all his energy on Qiu Wen, hoping that at least he could have a grandchild.

Although Mrs. Zhang is a fairly kind mother-in-law, if she were to suggest going out this month, especially to a crowded clothing store, Mrs. Zhang would definitely not agree.

Qiu Wen had some styles bought back, and then she heard about the clothing store from the maid who went to buy ready-made clothes. This gave Qiu Wen an idea.

It is said that one flower blooming alone cannot last long, and a hundred flowers blooming together is what makes spring. How can there only be one clothing store? Besides, she had sent someone to inquire about the prices. She was going for the "luxury goods" route, and the profit margin was indeed very high. Qiu Wen thought for a moment and realized that she could target the mid-to-low-end market!

So Qiu Wen, with her pregnant belly, started getting busy.

"Master, why don't you wait until the baby is born before you get busy with all this?" Luo Xue couldn't help but worry as she looked at Qiu Wen, who was heavily pregnant.

Qiu Wen felt fine, but seeing Luo Xue's worried look and the nanny's nagging beside her, Qiu Wen sighed: "Alright, but I can stop for now, but you can't."

Luo Xue looked completely bewildered: "What does Master mean?"

Qiu Wen smiled mysteriously: "Of course, it means exactly what it says."

Then Luo Xue got busy. Actually, Luo Xue had learned a lot from Qiu Wen, but she had never made a decision on her own before, so she was always uneasy. Qiu Wen entrusted this matter to Luo Xue, and in order to let Qiu Wen rest, Luo Xue had no choice but to bite the bullet and take it on.

Luo Xue wasn't particularly stupid; otherwise, Qiu Wen wouldn't have let her do this job, even if she considered their relationship. A clothing shop was a good place for Luo Xue to practice.

"Master, this is the plan that I wrote according to your instructions."

Qiu Wen read it through once, then made some minor modifications, and it was pretty much done.

The general idea of ​​the snowfall was correct; Qiu Wen pointed out some details that are not often noticed.

Although Luo Xue watched her do business, she didn't do it herself, so it's understandable that there were some oversights.

In addition, the plan prepared by Luo Xue was quite remarkable, and Qiu Wen was very satisfied with Luo Xue.

Because of this, Luo Xue got busy. Just then, Madam Zhang hired a nanny for Qiu Wen, saying that she was an experienced nanny who could take care of pregnant women.

Seeing that she was diligent in her work, Qiu Wen accepted the gift. With Luo Xue busy at work, she was not without someone to take care of her.

Luo Xue has been busy setting up the shop lately, which she learned from Qiu Wen. After all, the success of Wen Si Bookstore is largely due to its pleasant environment.

Following suit, Luoxue naturally put more thought into the arrangement of her shop.

Her ideas were indeed quite good, somewhat ingenious, and she was willing to put in the effort. When the shop renovation was completed, Qiu Wen went to see it and found it to be quite good.

Then she started preparing the finished garments. Qiu Wen can draw design sketches. Although she has not studied design systematically, she has many ideas in her mind.

She had people make basic designs based on styles currently available on the market, then drew them on blueprints, and made some modifications.

Finally, the embroiderer embroiders the garment, and it is worn on the person. Based on the effect when worn, it is altered again, mainly for comfort and aesthetics.

In this way, Qiu Wen designed ten garment patterns in a short period of time, and then had them made.

As for the fabric used? It's not a particularly precious material, but the quality is decent, so it doesn't affect the aesthetics of the style when worn, and the fabric won't irritate the skin.

Ten styles of clothing were designed, and thirty pieces were made for each style, totaling three hundred pieces. These three hundred pieces were just a trial run, and then Qiu Wen's Wensi Clothing Shop officially opened.

Just like Wu's Department Store, because of the name of Wu's Department Store, Wu's Clothing Store had a lot of natural customers as soon as it opened. Most of these people were regular customers of Wu's Department Store.

Similarly, many of Wensi Clothing Shop's initial customers came from Wensi Bookstore.

Qiu Wen gave Luo Xue a suggestion: to use Wensi Bookstore to promote the clothing shop.

And so, when Wensi's clothing store opened, business was not exactly booming, but it was certainly pretty good, with no shortage of customers.

And because the clothes inside were indeed quite good, with two of the ten styles being particularly exquisite, the prices were a bit higher. However, they couldn't compare to the Wu family's ready-made clothing store. Soon, the reputation of Wensi's ready-made clothing store spread among some minor officials and wealthy families.
