That night, the upper and lower floors of Qionghua Tower were brightly lit.
Mr. Cen invited all his friends today and set up ten tables in the hall on the first floor.
Several private rooms upstairs are used to entertain relatives and friends.
Over the years, Mr. Cen has been alone, but he has attended many weddings and funerals at his friends' homes.
I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but over the years, I've spent a lot of money on gifts.
Today, there is finally such a big happy event in the family, so Mr. Cen naturally has to make good arrangements.
Naturally, friends were very supportive and those who could attend came in person.
A few people who could not come for some reason also sent their families to deliver gifts and cash.
Mr. Cen, You Bin and Mrs. Ye stood at the door to welcome the guests.
Everyone congratulated him as they entered the room.
Several old friends were so excited that they had tears in their eyes.
What made them even happier than Mrs. Ye’s achievements in the cooking competition was that Mr. Cen finally had children and grandchildren to rely on in his later years, and he no longer had to live alone.
After all the guests arrived and took their seats, the kitchen started serving the dishes. Mr. Cen kept walking around the hall with his wine glass, talking and drinking with people at each table.
Mrs. Ye was responsible for entertaining the guests on the second floor.
In addition to her own family, there were also Ye Qingshan's family, several kitchen helpers from the dumpling restaurant, and even Mrs. Lu came to show their support on the second floor, which surprised Mrs. Ye.
Madam Lu did not consider herself an outsider. When she arrived, she sat directly next to Ye Ersao and agreed to accompany her to Duan's house tomorrow to discuss the matter of making clothes.
“Today, Madam Duan and Miss Duan saw the queen’s clothes in the palace and loved them very much.
"Many people have asked me who makes the Queen's clothes.
"If I hadn't told you that you weren't free tonight, Madam Duan would have wanted you to come over right away!
"I have an appointment with her for tomorrow morning. I will go with you then."
"Thank you, Madam Lu." Mrs. Ye didn't expect Madam Lu to be so enthusiastic, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.
Madam Lu then asked, "Second Sister Ye, are you really not going to come to the city to work?
"You've just gained some fame, so you must seize the opportunity!"
Ye Ersao also wanted to, but she was reluctant to leave her three children at home.
"Those embroiderers are eager to work with you now.
"You don't know yet, do you? The clothes the Queen wore this time not only won everyone's praise, but even received praise from the Emperor.
“The Emperor also specially gifted the Queen a set of porcelain from the official kiln.
"All the wives of officials and daughters of wealthy families in the capital have seen this, and now they are all trying to find ways to ask you to make clothes for them!
"If you ask me, you should take advantage of the current popularity and hire someone to start embroidering first, and then take measurements and tailor it later. That way you can ensure that the finished clothes are produced as soon as possible and make money as soon as possible!"
Ye Ersao didn’t know much about Madam Lu before, she only knew that she was Qingtian’s husband.
Although I had been staying at Madam Lu's house to make clothes a few days ago, Madam Lu was with the Queen almost every day at that time, and she also had to find time to teach Qingtian, so the two of them didn't have much interaction.
This resulted in Madam Lu's image in Ye Ersao's mind always being a learned and upright scholar like Mr. Wei.
At this moment, I suddenly heard her talking about business incessantly, and I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Sister Ye had just come over from next door and happened to hear what Madam Lu said. She immediately agreed and said, "Sister-in-law, I think what Madam Lu said makes sense.
"This is the same principle as the Western-patterned building blocks that the third brother made last year.
"If you want to make money, you have to hurry up, otherwise someone will imitate you soon."
"This..." After hearing what Ye Dasao said, Ye Ersao finally started to think seriously about it.
Madam Lu was drawn to Mrs. Ye's words and asked in surprise, "Did you make those building blocks that were so popular in Beijing years ago and so hard to find?"
"Yeah, my third brother did it with a buddy of his."
"I've noticed your family members are all quite talented!" Madam Lu said, "You're such a great cook, your second sister-in-law is a great dressmaker, and your third sister-in-law is a great carpenter."
"We've all been learning to make a living since we were little!" Mrs. Ye said modestly. "Actually, this set of building blocks was made possible thanks to Young Master Qin's help. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to make it on their own."
"Originally, Qingtian's third uncle made her a set of building blocks. When Qingtian arrived in Beijing and saw the building blocks sold in other people's shops, she felt that they were not as good as her third uncle's. So she thought about whether she could make money by letting her third uncle make building blocks.
"When she thought of this, she went to ask Young Master Qin, who later helped her come up with an idea, and that's how she made that set of Western building blocks.
"So that's what's going on." Madam Lu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. She turned to look at Qingtian who was sitting with the children, and said with a smile that couldn't be hidden, "I really wasn't wrong about him. Qingtian is a smart kid, and he's born to be a businessman.
"When Qingtian grows up and makes money, you can enjoy the good life!"
Hearing Lady Lu say this, Third Sister Ye came over and interrupted, "You're already enjoying a good life. Look at this pair of gold earrings my eldest sister-in-law has on her. They were just given to her by Qingtian!"
Mrs. Ye also said, "That's right, Qingtian is such a thoughtful kid."
While people were chatting lively upstairs, downstairs, Dong Xunchang also found an opportunity to chat with You Bin.
"Nephew, what do you think of my restaurant?"
"It's very good, big and grand, and the food is delicious too." You Bin quickly praised it.
"So you've been staying at home lately? Have you ever thought about going out and doing something?"
