At the age of two, Qing Rou, with her chubby little fingers, ma...
The old woman was already used to her mischievousness. Seeing her expression, she knew that she was definitely thinking of something to cause trouble, so she smiled and agreed.
She had already lowered her tolerance for Jingrou to a very low level. She would definitely not teach her things like the three obediences and four virtues. Seeing that the prince and princess did not care about such things, why should she bother to offend them?
After spending a long time at Prince An's residence, she gradually became influenced by him and felt that there was nothing wrong with the county princess being like this.
A girl who has been pampered and spoiled since childhood should live a carefree life like this, without being constrained by others.
Why could she live so freely in Prince An's mansion, but now that she's married or something, she'll be restricted?
Given their prince's personality, if the county princess were to end up like that, he would rather she never get married!
Everyone in Prince An's mansion doted on her, and even if she did something outrageous in the eyes of others, it seemed like nothing would happen, so she naturally didn't care!
So in the end, Jingrou led a maid and two guards inside. The guards were definitely there to ensure her safety.
This is a garment workshop.
Because of its good location, according to my grandmother and the brochure, the business was doing very well. However, due to its conservative approach over a long period, its performance has declined somewhat in recent years.
Jingrou led the people inside, and immediately a servant came running over. He was dressed in a light blue robe, moved very quickly, and had bright eyes.
Shops like theirs usually see groups of young girls followed by a large entourage, so they are very familiar with such situations and know exactly how to handle them. Even so, he was still amazed by the distinguished person in front of him.
He had a keen eye; after all, he was in this business, and his eye had been honed through seeing so many things. He could tell at a glance that the young girl's clothes were expensive, something they couldn't produce themselves.
This outfit is made of Huzhou silk!
A piece of gold!
Even in the capital, there might not be any better shops like these; they are all exclusively supplied to the Imperial Household Department! Even if they are rarely bestowed upon others, those who are given them are still considered nobles!
The servant found it unusual. Most pampered young girls like this would have their garments custom-made by seamstresses sent directly to the mansion; why had she come in person?
Although he was surprised, he greeted her with a smile. He spoke slowly, always with a smile on his face, and seemed very sincere. "Miss, are you looking for some small shops? We have a new batch of fabrics that just arrived... and ready-made clothes made by the top embroiderers in the capital! Would you be interested in taking a look?"
After saying that, he realized he hadn't been very right. Why would a young lady like that want to look at ready-made clothes? She definitely wanted her own clothes, something unique and different from the rest!
As soon as Jingrou walked in, she found the store to be quite lively, with several women gathered around, seemingly selecting fabrics. As soon as she approached, someone immediately came to greet her, and the service was quite attentive, with no sign of neglect.
However, since Jingrou is here to "inspect" the place, she will definitely have to consider things carefully. This opportunity is rare, and the shopkeepers usually know that she is the owner when she goes there, so they will not do anything inappropriate.
But this time she came secretly, wanting to see what the shop was really like.
If we tell them about it in advance, they'll definitely have to prepare, which would ruin the fun.
“Then take me there to have a look…” Jingrou said.
Jingrou wore a light pink cardigan and a light blue floral skirt with pearl trim at the hem. Her skin was fair, and her face still had a touch of baby fat, but she was already graceful and poised, a young woman just beginning to grow up. In particular, her eyebrows and eyes were gradually developing, like a flower bud about to bloom.
However, to keep a low profile today, she covered her face with a handkerchief and did not show her face.
Her headdress wasn't complicated, but each piece was made of high-quality material. Several items were designed by her and then custom-made, making them look exquisite and unique. Ever since she stepped into the room, several young ladies and wives had been staring at her head, completely mesmerized.
The waiter had some knowledge of jewelry and clothing; anyone who could enter such a shop was interested in them. His eyes would occasionally fall on the customers, but he felt it was a bit presumptuous to do so, so he restrained himself.
"Ayu, the shopkeeper wants you to go to the back and sort out that batch of materials." The servant was leading a group of people forward when a man in gray clothes suddenly appeared and spoke to the servant.
Ayu hesitated, realizing he still had guests here and couldn't just abandon them. He was about to speak, wanting the person in front of him to help him.
“Ah Yu, you’re very observant. The shopkeeper will definitely let you pass through so that nothing goes wrong. As for this guest, I’ll guide him over for you!” The newcomer smiled and said.
Although he was somewhat reluctant, he still wanted to talk to the young lady in front of him more and find out which shop made it.
However, the person who came was in a hurry, and at this moment, I stood to the side watching with great anticipation, but I had no choice.
Without thinking much of it, Ayu smiled apologetically at Jingrou, who nodded to him. "This young lady, please let him lead you there. I'm so sorry," Ayu said, then turned and left.
A hint of greed flashed in Ah Qiang's eyes as he smiled obsequiously, "This distinguished guest, please come this way." He lowered his head slightly, still assessing the worth of the guest before him.
Ah Yu is a fool. He usually does whatever he's told to do. How could he be so lucky as to take care of this distinguished guest?
He had to do it himself to properly honor their guest! He rubbed his hands together inwardly.
