The two discussed the matter until the afternoon before finally finishing.
"Since the shop will be closed for renovations in the next few days, what will happen to the dresses that Miss Shangguan ordered?" Manager Liu asked hurriedly, remembering something.
“The dress that Miss Shangguan ordered must naturally be made for her, and the embroiderers in the shop must do their best to make it for her,” Rong Qingqing said. “As for the fabric, I will personally select two bolts of fabric for the embroiderers tomorrow.”
Shangguan Yanran is the apple of the eye of the current Prime Minister Shangguan Boyan. Many people in the court want to curry favor with her, and her every word and action is closely watched.
Therefore, as long as Shangguan Yanran wears the clothes made by their shop on the day of the banquet, she will definitely attract the attention of those noble ladies and young ladies.
In that case, their shop will have received free advertising without spending a single penny.
Moreover, if the style of the clothes is good, it will definitely spread among the wealthy ladies, and then there will be no shortage of people coming to make clothes.
She wanted to transform the shop into a high-end ready-to-wear boutique, targeting high-society ladies and heiresses.
Seeing that she seemed confident and had a plan, Manager Liu didn't ask any more questions.
When Rong Qingqing returned to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence, it was already evening.
As she stepped onto the steps, she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her. She turned around and saw Xie Jingrun dismounting from his horse, still wearing his brocade robes and a brocade spring knife at his waist.
As he approached, a strong smell of blood immediately filled the air.
Upon smelling it, Rong Qingqing couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Without even guessing, it's clear that this guy must have just returned from the imperial prison and must have interrogated prisoners.
Seeing her retreating posture, Xie Jingrun suddenly stopped and glanced at her from the side.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his narrow eyes.
Is this woman looking down on him?
This realization made him narrow his eyes, his sharp, cold gaze scrutinizing her for a moment. He then turned to look at her, his voice intimidating, "Where have you been all this time, coming back so late?"
He looked like he was interrogating a criminal.
The man's imposing presence was overwhelming, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
Rong Qingqing subconsciously took another step back.
Looking at the man's nonchalant expression, she really wanted to say what it was to him, but the man looked unfriendly, so she decided not to court death.
She smiled and replied respectfully, "I went to the shop to check, why is the Marquis returning so late?"
"What's it to you?" Xie Jingrun glanced at her indifferently, turned around, and strode into the mansion.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
Watching the man walk inside, I really wanted to take off my shoes and slap him in the face.
Who is this person?
Didn't he ask first?
Why doesn't he think about what her affairs have to do with him?
Rong Qingqing angrily returned to Qinfang Garden.
However, she had only sat down and drunk a cup of tea when Changlin called from outside the door, "Madam, the Marquis asks when dinner will be served?"
Rong Qingqing was taken aback. She went outside and said suspiciously, "He can decide when to start dinner. Why are you asking me?"
Changlin lowered his head and reminded him, "The Marquis wants to eat the dishes you make."
Rong Qingqing was taken aback. "Isn't there a cook in the manor? Just have the cook do it."
Changlin stood still, coughed lightly, and lied against his conscience, "The Marquis said that your cooking is even better." Of course, his master would not say such a thing; he was more likely trying to make things difficult for the old lady.
Rong Qingqing frowned. Was Xie Jingrun treating her like a cook?
"I've been busy at the shop all day, and my hands and legs are sore. I'm afraid I can't make it for him. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
