Chapter 191: Big Profit



The sky gradually darkened, the autumn night was slightly chilly, and the sound of galloping horses could be heard on the deserted streets.

A cavalry came out from the south gate of the imperial palace and finally stopped at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion. A moment later, Liang Qingchen walked out of the mansion, wearing silver armor and a fang mask.

Jiang Muyu watched him ride on his horse, his black cloak fluttering in the wind.

This was the second time she sent him off to fight.

Without saying goodbye, he just turned around to look at the woman standing in front of the vermilion gate and saw her waving at him.

He thought to himself: Wait until I come back.

He then pulled the reins, whipped the horse and rode away.

Jiang Muyu watched the team of cavalry going farther and farther away until they gradually disappeared from his sight, then he turned around and walked back to the mansion.

She became increasingly busy.

He spent the whole day moving between shops, farms and palaces.

As the end of the year approaches, she is preparing to make another big profit.

She asked Tan Niang to design several pieces of fabric with special patterns, and then drew more than twenty sets of Hanfu based on her modern memory.

When she was still in modern times, there was a period of time when the Hanfu trend was popular. She followed the trend and bought a few sets to wear. She studied many shapes and colors. Although she might not be able to make it, she can draw it.

As long as she drew the general shape of the clothes and asked the embroiderers in the shop to make some minor modifications, she could make new and beautiful clothes.

Making clothes here is already on the agenda.

There she started recruiting people.

Yun Yan was puzzled and asked, "Madam, we already have so many employees in the shop, why do we need to hire more people?"

"I'm looking for temporary workers this time." Jiang Muyu wrote on the paper: "Recruiting for the fashion show, starting salary of 50 taels, requirements..."

"My lady, what is this fashion show?"

She smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

After she wrote the recruitment notice, she had someone post it at the door of the shop, and then ordered Yunyan to find Lin Hanzhi.

I met Lin Hanzhi in the afternoon, still in his secluded residence in the bamboo forest.

She came here openly to eat for free.

When Lin Hanzhi came in, he saw her sitting at the table with more than a dozen dishes already placed on it.

He was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, why do you have to be so polite? There are so many vegetables that ordinary people can't finish them all."

"Oh-it's not for you to eat..." She spoke too quickly and braked the car.

Then he said, "Uh, that's not what I meant. What I meant was... I was so hungry waiting for you that I just ordered some food casually. It's not like you were eating it all by yourself."

She asked Lin Hanzhi to sit down: "Come on, try this crucian carp in milk soup. I heard that you are from Jiangnan and you love fish the most, so I specially ordered a few more dishes, including braised crucian carp, squirrel mandarin fish, and loach and tofu."

"Uh..." Lin Hanzhi said helplessly: "I like eating fish, but not that much."

Jiang Muyu didn't care about him. She picked up the bowl in front of him and started to serve him food crazily. After filling the bowl, she placed it in front of him with a bold look and said, "Eat quickly!"

Lin Hanzhi didn't dare to refuse, so he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

It was no wonder that Jiang Muyu was so impatient. She was really hungry. She had been busy all morning without eating anything, and had been waiting for him here for half an hour. She was drooling at the sight of the fragrant dishes on the table.

Without discussing the matter, she started eating without restraint.

Lin Hanzhi was stunned.

I didn’t expect that Jiang Muyu, as a princess, would be so... relaxed. She didn’t have the shyness of a noble lady in the capital at all. She ate quickly and voraciously, which made people’s appetite increase.

Most of the dishes on the table went into her stomach. At the end, she drank half a bowl of three-fresh soup and burped while touching her round belly.

She took advantage of Lin Hanzhi's inattention and quietly loosened her belt.

I'm really bloated and feeling very uncomfortable.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Lin Hanzhi also put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Mr. Lin eats so little?" She frowned.

Lin Hanzhi just wanted to say that his appetite was quite normal, a bowl of rice, a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of soup. It was you who ate too much.

But he didn't dare to say it directly, and just smiled awkwardly: "I don't have much appetite today."

"Is that so?" Jiang Muyu took a sip of tea and said, "Then let's get down to business."

"What do you want to see me for, madam?"

Jiang Muyu regained his composure in a second: "It's like this, I want you to help me paint a landscape painting."

"No problem."

"This painting is... uh... a little big."

Seeing her embarrassed look, he raised his eyebrows: "How big is it?"

So she took Lin Hanzhi back to the palace.

She had someone make a canvas that was about thirty feet long and ten feet wide (nine meters x three meters). Once it was opened and the scroll was included, it took up most of the yard.

Lin Hanzhi swallowed his saliva, turned around and asked, "How long will it take for this painting, Madam?"

Jiang Muyu raised a finger, smiled and said, "Within a month, okay?"

Perhaps it was because the wind was too gentle, or perhaps it was because her smile was too charming, Lin Hanzhi nodded for some reason.

"That's great. Mr. Lin, you are my lucky star. If you help me draw, you will be rewarded." She held Lin Hanzhi's hand and thanked him madly.

Lin Hanzhi lowered her head shyly and whispered, "You... are too polite."

Jiang Muyu smiled loudly and turned away: "Just focus on your creation. I won't let anyone disturb you."

After Jiang Muyu left, Lin Hanzhi was still worried when he looked at the huge canvas. He wanted to make a draft on rice paper first, but he stood there for a long time holding the brush and couldn't bring himself to start.

All I could think about was that woman's bright and beautiful smile.

Jiang Muyu here was completely unaware of this matter.

She started to busy herself with other things.

It is not easy to organize a good fashion show. In addition to the matching of clothes and jewelry, makeup is also very important.

Not only will she take the opportunity to launch new clothing products for the store, she will also be launching new rouge and powder. In addition to lip balm of different shades, there will also be eye shadow and blush, all of which are new products that have not yet been launched on the market.

But she didn't want to follow the makeup of this era, and planned to imitate the three-white makeup of the Song Dynasty, because most of the clothes she launched this time were Song Dynasty Hanfu.

Her rouge shop has a makeup-trying area with dedicated makeup girls who are responsible for helping customers try on makeup, which has become the specialty of the shop.

The shop's business was not very prosperous today, so she called two makeup girls to teach them how to apply the three-white makeup.

She asked Yunyan to sit down and started to try on makeup. Actually, she was not very familiar with this makeup. She practiced it several times in the room and her performance was pretty good.

I don’t know if it’s because she was in good shape today or her makeup was in good shape, but she managed to create the most perfect makeup look among all the times she’s done it. The two makeup girls looked at her and thought she looked really good.

"Your Majesty's makeup is so beautiful and unique."

"Yes, it's quite novel and I haven't seen it before."

Jiang Muyu said proudly: "No, I learned this from a very good makeup artist."

One of them asked, "Excuse me, Madam, is that makeup lady famous?"

She answered casually: "It's called Douyin."

Neither of them had heard of this name, and they just thought he was a low-key master. Even his name is so unique.
