Manager Chen's batch of cloth finally arrived, and someone was sent to Lan Yi Fang to inform Hu Zi's mother.
So Nan Wusi had someone pack the duck down into bags and send them to Hu Zi's mother, along with the design for the down jacket that Nan Wuyu had drawn.
Tiger's mother immediately handed over the down and cloth to the tailors.
Some veteran tailors were moved to tears after learning how to make the down jacket. This was a lifesaver for many people, and the owner of Lan Yi Fang was truly a compassionate person.
And so, one down jacket after another was made. On the day of sale, despite the high price, they were all snapped up. Nan Wusi also took the initiative to give one to some people in the slums, hoping they could have a good New Year.
Lan Yi Fang invented a new type of clothing that spread throughout the capital within a day, and the upper class became curious about what exactly a down jacket was.
However, some nobles who bought it at a high price found that the down jacket was not only ugly in style and bulky to wear, but also had a faint odor, so they immediately scoffed at it.
Although the name "down jacket" sounds nice, after seeing it, I found that it's useless except for keeping warm.
As a result, these people immediately lost interest in down jackets.
However, Nan Wusi didn't care about this at all, as she hadn't originally planned to expand into the aristocratic market.
She has now almost fully recovered from the injury on her arm. She was indeed too careless this time, relying on her superior martial arts skills to come up with such an idea, which almost led to her downfall.
However, this blow served as a lesson for her; she must never act so recklessly again. The medicine in the manor was not of high quality; if it weren't for the medicine Xiao Yi brought her, she probably wouldn't even be half-healed yet.
After recovering from her injuries, Nan Wusi returned to the shop, serving customers when they came and making Tangtang's wedding dress when there were no customers. Tangtang's wedding day was approaching after the New Year, and Nan Wusi needed to finish making the wedding dress so that Tangtang could try it on and see if there were any adjustments needed.
Tangtang's wedding dress was the first garment that Nan Wusi had actually made by hand, so she took it very seriously.
With the order for Xiao Mu's custom order fast approaching, Nan Wusi was surprised when the Emperor lifted his confinement order. This was a great pity for her. If it had been a few more days, she would have had an excuse not to place the order for Xiao Mu.
As expected, Xiao Mu appeared at Nan Wusi's Dream Clothing Shop on time.
Nan Wusi never expected that Xiao Mu and Ouyang Jiangli's affair would cause such a stir in the capital, yet they still had the nerve to appear in Mengyifang. They were truly shameless.
Aside from a fleeting moment of unease upon first seeing Nan Wusi, Xiao Mu quickly concealed his true feelings.
"Your Highness, please have a seat." Nan Wusi showed no particular expression, acting as if it were business, and invited Xiao Mu to sit down at the table.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu followed Nan Wusi and sat down at the table.
"Does Your Highness have any special requirements regarding color and style?" Nan Wusi asked.
"No, Si-mei, you can handle it as you see fit," Xiao Mu said, staring at Nan Wusi.
"No requirements at all?" Nan Wusi frowned.
"Anything that Sister Si thinks is suitable for me is fine." Xiao Mu smiled slightly, revealing what he thought was a very handsome smile. "Anything that Sister Si likes is acceptable."
Looking at Xiao Mu's greasy appearance, Nan Wusi wondered how she had managed to read the novel back then.
Since Xiao Mu had no requests, Nan Wusi had even more freedom to do as she pleased, so she didn't want to say anything more to Xiao Mu and said, "Since Your Highness trusts me so much, please come to try on the clothes next week."
"Sister Si, are you trying to send me away so soon?" Xiao Mu was somewhat displeased. Every time she spoke a few words with Nan Wusi, she would find various excuses to leave.
"Your Highness, I still need time to make the clothes." Nan Wusi simply said this, silencing Xiao Mu's next words.
Since Xiao Mu is here to have clothes custom-made, Nan Wusi definitely needs to be given enough time.
However, Xiao Mu came specifically for Nan Wusi; the custom-made clothes were just an excuse.
"Is Si-mei angry with me?" Xiao Mu asked abruptly.
"Why would I be angry? Your Highness seems to have misunderstood something." Nan Wusi said expressionlessly.
"I and Ouyang..." Xiao Mu's words were interrupted by Nan Wusi before he could finish.
“Your Highness, I have no interest in what is between you and Miss Ouyang. If Your Highness has nothing else to say, please leave. I need to begin making clothes.”
"You really are angry with me." Xiao Mu seemed to have made that assumption.
Nan Wusi didn't want to say anything more at this point. She thought Xiao Mu was probably mentally ill and excessively narcissistic.
So Nan Wusi turned around and left the main hall, entering the clothing room.
Although Xiao Mu was unhappy, he firmly believed that this was Nan Wusi's way of venting her anger after learning about his affair with Ouyang Jiangli, so in the end he could only leave in a huff.
Not long after Xiao Mu left, Tiger's mother came over and said that several tailors wanted to see her.
Nan Wusi was puzzled. Why would these tailors want to see her? Could it be that there was something wrong with the clothes?
After Namo Si met the three old tailors, one of them spoke first.
"Manager Nan, we've come to you today to ask for your opinion."
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
"I wonder if Manager Nan would be interested in taking over or renting our tailor shop?" the old tailor asked.
Nan Wusi was somewhat surprised after hearing this; she hadn't expected that they had come for this matter.
"Don't you want to be tailors anymore? Why are you selling or renting out your shop?" Nan Wusi asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Not at all,” the old tailor explained. “On the contrary, it is precisely because Manager Nan has provided us with such a good opportunity that we want to put the tailor shop up for sale or rent.”
“Nowadays, the amount of clothing we deliver to Lanyifang each month is relatively stable. Apart from that, we rarely receive orders from other people. So even if we open the shop, it won’t make much difference. It’s better to just get rid of it.”
"I see." Namo Sixin understood.
"Have you decided whether to sell or rent it?" Nan Wusi's jewelry store hasn't opened yet, so she still needs a shop. She knows where these tailor shops are, and two of them are adjacent, so they can be combined into one large shop.
“I’m going to sell my shop, and these two are going to rent out theirs,” said the old tailor who had spoken first.
"I am an old man with no children, and I won't be able to work much in a few days. I might as well sell the shop and go back to my hometown to retire."
“We both have our own families, so in addition to the orders from Lan Yi Fang, we also want a steady rental income so that our families can live a better life.” The other two old tailors also expressed their thoughts.
