Chapter 62: An ugly woman, is she worthy?
Nishang Pavilion is the largest and most popular clothing store in the entire capital. Its owner is Dongsui Kingdom's only princess, Princess Mingzhu. Only Princess Mingzhu has the ability to gather together all the embroiderers who have reached the age of leaving the palace and those who have been expelled for misconduct. Therefore, both the techniques and styles of the embroiderers closely follow the preferences of the palace ladies, which has become a reason for the noble ladies in the capital to rush to buy their clothes:
To cater to the preferences of the palace, to curry favor with the eldest princess, and to be a symbol of upper-class status!
Therefore, almost no commoner would enter Nishang Pavilion, because the clothes here are so expensive!
When Lin Xiaoyue saw the plaque of Nishang Pavilion, she was shocked. She knew that the owner of Jueweilou would take her to a high-end clothing store to buy clothes, but she didn't expect it to be such a luxurious place!
Here, spending a lot of money is common!
"Boss, are you sure you want to go in?"
The man turned around and said puzzledly, "Yeah! I think the clothes in this store are pretty good. If you don't like them, I can take you to another store or find someone to make them for you!"
Lin Xiaoyue certainly likes custom-made clothes. Back then, before she traveled through time, all the clothes she wore were limited editions! Price is a symbol!
However, since she was already there, she wanted to see what kind of clothes the famous Nishang Pavilion could make.
"That's not necessary, let's go in and take a look!"
The man nodded and entered Nishang Pavilion side by side with Lin Xiaoyue.
Inside the Nishang Pavilion, the shopkeeper, Shen Qiuyan, recognized the man's identity and personally stepped forward to greet him, saying, "What brings the owner of Juewei Tower here? Come upstairs quickly!"
The man walked upstairs to the VIP room and sat down. He said to Shen Qiuyan, "Take out all the latest styles in your store and let Mu Yao try them!"
Shen Qiuyan thought there was something wrong with her ears, and pointed at Lin Xiaoyue and asked, "Boss, are you talking about this girl?"
The man nodded and said, "That's right! I want the latest and greatest!"
Chen Qiuyan's eyes flashed with jealousy. This woman was ugly, and looked like a dried-up string bean. How could she possibly have won the favor of the owner of Jueweilou? You have to know that the owner of Jueweilou was the second most eager woman to marry in Beijing. He was rich, powerful, and handsome. The most important thing was that his mysterious aura was so unbearable!
She took a deep breath and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, boss! Today's new models are all sold out!"
Every time, she lied! Because of crazy jealousy, she didn't want to give the clothes in the store to this ugly woman!
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh? So that's how it is! Then please ask Aunt Feng to come out and tell her that I need some clothes customized!"
Shen Qiuyan bit her lip. Aunt Feng was the best embroiderer at Nishang Pavilion. How many people in the capital begged her to do work for them? Her orders were already booked until next year's Spring Festival!
How can she be worthy of this ugly woman?
"I'm sorry, Aunt Feng is not feeling well and has asked for leave for the next few days!"
The man nodded and said, "Where are Miss Ya and Miss Song? They should be here, right?"
Shen Qiuyan didn't expect that the owner of Jueweilou was determined to make clothes for this woman, and the flames of jealousy burned in her heart!
"I'm sorry, Miss Ya and Miss Song have also taken leave. It's really unfortunate today! If you want your own clothes, boss, we have them ready."
But lying with open eyes will always be exposed. The retribution in this life came quickly and violently, teaching Shen Qiuyan a severe lesson!
"Who comes to my Nishang Pavilion?" A lazy and noble voice came from the stairs, attracting the attention of everyone in the VIP room.
Shen Qiuyan knew that Princess Mingzhu had arrived! God bless the princess and please don't mention the three embroiderers Fengyasong!
It was as if a gong and drum team lived in her heart, beating non-stop. She forced herself to calm down and ran over to greet them, "Qiu Yan greets the eldest princess!"
Princess Mingzhu gave him a slight support and said, "Get up, are there any distinguished guests in the store today?"
The man brought Lin Xiaoyue forward and saluted, "Greetings, Princess. This is my new shopkeeper, Mu Yao! Mu Yao, quickly salute the Princess!"
Lin Xiaoyue imitated Shen Qiuyan's behavior just now, lowered her head, slightly bent her knees, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and bowed respectfully, "Mu Yao greets the eldest princess!"
Princess Mingzhu walked around everyone and sat down at the head of the VIP room. "Everyone, get up! The owner of Jueweilou is a rare guest. Qiuyan, hurry up and call out the three embroiderers from Fengyasong!"
Shen Qiuyan's face was extremely ugly. She stood there hesitating for a long time, her feet not moving at all. "Princess, the owner of Jueweilou wants to buy some clothes for this girl. All the new styles in the store have been ordered, but there are still a few relatively new ones that this girl can try."
Princess Mingzhu glanced at Chen Qiuyan and asked Lin Xiaoyue, "What do you think, Miss Mu Yao?"
Lin Xiaoyue instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Shen Qiuyan, but she planned to wait and see what kind of clothes Shen Qiuyan could come up with for her.
"To reply to the eldest princess, Mu Yao doesn't mind."
Princess Mingzhu nodded and said to Shen Qiuyan, "Then go quickly and don't keep the guests waiting!"
Shen Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but before leaving, she didn't forget to smile contemptuously at Lin Xiaoyue, "Miss, please wait a moment!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled without saying a word, watching Shen Qiuyan leave the VIP room.
Princess Mingzhu didn't notice any of this. She kept looking at the man beside her, but his gaze was distant. The princess finally sighed and looked up at Lin Xiaoyue, "I remember that the owner of Jueweilou in the capital was called Wang Fugui. Miss Muyao, are you going to take over Wang Fugui's position?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and replied, "In reply to the Princess, our boss is planning to open another restaurant in Yangming Town, and I'm going to be the manager there."
Princess Mingzhu was puzzled and said, "Yangming Town is right next to the capital. Why open a restaurant so close to it? The people there don't have as many officials and noble families as in the capital. Can't they afford it?"
Lin Xiaoyue hadn't expected the princess to actually be so concerned about Jueweilou. Could she be a regular there? She'd have to be nice to her; she couldn't let this regular down.
She answered seriously, "In response to the Princess, because land in the capital is extremely valuable, those less powerful merchants have settled in Yangming Town. Jueweilou is a golden signboard, and they're bound to come here. So, I've made them my target group, targeting their spending potential. From the decor to the food, and even the service, I've developed a complete plan tailored to this group. I'm sure they'll definitely spend the money!"
Princess Mingzhu's eyes flashed with experience, and she couldn't help but praise, "Oh, where did you find such a smart girl?"
The man smiled smugly, "This has nothing to do with you. I have absolute confidence in Mu Yao!"
But the cheerful atmosphere in the VIP room plummeted with the arrival of two outfits. One was a straight-cut long dress with a rose-red background, embroidered with colorful gold birds, some flying, some holding branches in their beaks. Although the birds were vividly embroidered, the rose-red background was too bright, and the glittering gold thread was too painful to the eyes! The other was a waisted short skirt, a crimson skirt with a grass-green trim and a transparent tulle waist. It was obvious that it was not something for an ordinary woman!
