Chapter 147: Skinny Monkey and Chicken
"My brother is here, Miss."
At daybreak, Aunt Lan excitedly went to find Xiao Jiuyue. Xiao Jiuyue did not rest and went to see Shang Ting immediately.
forecourt.
Jun Lie was basking in the sun in the yard. When he saw Shang Ting, he looked him over.
Shang Ting also looked at Jun Lie, thinking in his heart: I haven't heard about Miss Xiao's marriage?
When Xiao Jiuyue arrived, she happened to see them staring at each other. She stepped forward and introduced him, "Second Master Shang."
"Hello, Miss." Shang Ting was particularly excited when he saw Xiao Jiuyue. This time when he went back, after Shang Jia dyed the purple cloth, he gained a place in the cloth shop in Mingzhou. Now, cooperating with the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Shang Ting felt that Shang Jia's chance to turn things around had come!
As long as the merchants have established a firm foothold in Hongdu, why should they be afraid of those merchants in Mingzhou who look down on them? Will they stop buying the merchants' cloth just because the Xiao family is in trouble?
This time, Shang Ting brought his son Shang Yifan with him to see the world.
"Miss, this is my son, Shang Yifan. He is very talented in dyeing fabrics." Shang Ting was so proud when he mentioned his son.
"Hello, Miss." Shang Yifan saluted Xiao Jiuyue nervously. If it weren't for the accident with the Xiao family, he was afraid that he would not even be able to meet the daughter of a wealthy family like Xiao Jiuyue.
"You are Jiachen's uncle and cousin, no need to be so polite, just sit down." Xiao Jiuyue invited them to sit down. Aunt Lan, who followed behind him, looked at Shang Yifan with red eyes. In the blink of an eye, her nephew had reached the age to get married!
"Aunt." Shang Yifan recognized Aunt Lan at a glance. When he was a child, he was his aunt's favorite.
"Oh." Aunt Lan wiped her tears and poured tea for Shang Ting and the others personally.
Xiao Jiuyue picked up the tea and took a sip. He didn't rush to speak, and let the family reminisce about the past.
Jun Lie watched Shang Ting enter the main reception hall and asked, seeing that they seemed to be chatting happily, "Guo Sheng, who is that?"
At night, Guo Sheng followed Manager Jin to investigate for clues. He was dozing off in the scorching heat. Suddenly, he heard Jun Lie's words. He shuddered and said blankly, "Who?"
"Third Master, I'll go and find out right away."
Guo Sheng's heart trembled, and he immediately went to inquire. Not long after, he said, "Third Master, I have found out clearly that the Shang Erye is the legitimate brother of Xiao Erye's concubine. The younger man is the Shang Erye's son, who is only sixteen years old."
"Hey, Third Master, are you here to discuss Miss Xiao's marriage?" Guo Sheng exclaimed, but was greeted by Jun Lie's cold gaze. He seemed completely oblivious and continued to use his imagination to guess, "Third Master, I see they are of similar age, but his status is a bit lower, a merchant's son..."
"Are they the same age?" Jun Lie raised his eyebrows, his gaze landing on Shang Yifan. "He hasn't even grown all his hair yet, and looks like a skinny monkey."
"..." Guo Sheng's eyes widened as he looked at Jun Lie in disbelief. When he looked at Shang Yifan again, there was something wrong in his eyes.
The thin and tall Shang Yifan really looks a bit like a skinny monkey.
"Third Master, you didn't say that before." Guo Sheng still remembered that when he said that the fat man was as fat as a pig, Third Master scolded him like a pig and told him to be more careful with his words.
"Why, aren't the facts I told you right?" Jun Lie leaned back in his chair and said, "Seeking truth from facts, how could I lie? Can his thin shoulders bear the responsibility of a husband? Can he protect Miss Xiao?"
"It seems, not possible." Guo Sheng looked at Shang Yifan. He seemed to be really young. If something really happened, he was afraid that his shoulders would collapse.
Jun Lie glanced at him and said, "Is this what you call finding out everything?"
"Third Master, I'll go and ask again and make sure I get to know everything clearly." Guo Sheng touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, then turned around and went to ask again.
In the main hall, Shang Ting listened to Xiao Jiuyue's words, his face flushed with excitement: "Miss Xiao, I brought a whole shipload of goods this time. Can you really sell all of them?"
The entire boatload of fabrics, as Xiao Jiuyue had said, were all summer materials.
"Of course, if it can't be sold, wouldn't Mr. Shang have made a wasted trip?" Xiao Jiuyue said directly, "Mr. Shang, hand over the fabric and I'll pay you when the time comes."
"Okay, okay." Shang Ting responded happily, and then added: "Miss Xiao, there's no rush for money. As long as the goods can be sold, you can pay me anytime."
Xiao Jiuyue gave an address and asked Shang Ting to make some arrangements, and at the same time, all the goods were placed at that address.
Xiao Jiuyue took various fabrics and gathered everyone from the third room together: "Mother, Aunt Lan, Third Aunt, now it's your turn to show off your skills. I know you are all good at sewing. From now on, all the money earned by Zhiyun Tower will belong to our Xiao family!"
Zhiyunlou is the new fabric store she is planning to open, which will not only sell fabrics but also ready-made clothes!
"Yuer, I've never seen this style of clothes before."
"It looks good. Can this color be matched like this?"
Mrs. Su and Aunt Xiao got together and looked at the styles of these clothes. Their eyes lit up. The bright colors looked particularly beautiful just by looking at them. They couldn't imagine how beautiful they would be when they were made!
"Auntie Lan, you were good at business before, so the chores at Zhiyun Tower are now yours." Xiao Jiuyue divided the work and made arrangements.
"No problem, don't worry, Miss." Aunt Lan felt a surge of excitement in her chest. She, she could also contribute to the Xiao family.
"I want to see ten ready-made clothes in five days. Is that possible?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Mrs. Su and Aunt Xiao looked at each other and said, "No problem. If it's a winter coat, that's definitely impossible, but summer clothes, no problem."
"As for patterns, you can only embroider simple ones." Su reminded that the clothes can be made, but it will take a lot of time to embroider the patterns. If you want the embroidery to be exquisite and beautiful, you have to make it more complicated.
"It's okay, mother. Just embroider some auspicious cloud patterns or winding branches." Xiao Jiuyue said, and Xiao Yurong beside her took the initiative to say, "Sister, I can also make two pieces."
"Don't worry, you'll have your share." Xiao Jiuyue took out all the fabrics, and Su and Aunt Xiao San and the others started cutting the fabrics and making clothes.
No matter it was Mrs. Su, Aunt Xiao San, Aunt Lan or Xiao Yurong, they were all very good at needlework. Xiao Jiuyue stood aside and watched for a while, dumbfounded.
The four of them divided the work and cooperated with each other in a very harmonious manner. Finally, Xiao Jiuyue's eyes noticed Xiao Tingwu. Xiao Tingwu, who had always been weak, had quite a talent for management. After her reminder, the four of Su's family started to work on the assembly line.
