Chapter 160 is a fat sheep
After dark, Mo Yi quietly ran to Aunt Yun's room.
"This time, the purse I wore was very eye-catching and many girls liked it."
"Really?" Yunniang said it was hard to understand.
That purse was made by her.
But it looks like it was painted by the Fifth Girl, and the materials were also provided by her.
The finished product doesn’t look bad, it’s just too ugly!
When the fifth girl said she wanted to wear it when attending the birthday party, she was just afraid of being laughed at.
In Yunniang's opinion, the embroidery shops selling regular and gorgeous items are the top quality goods.
"At that time, there were indeed many ladies wearing those very expensive ones sold in embroidery shops. But the one I wore was liked by all the girls. Many people came to ask about it, and those who didn't ask also secretly looked at it.
So, I think it will be a safe bet to target these girls.
It's just that... I have to use it to support half of the shop, and I still don't know how to operate it. This stuff, there are some things to pay attention to. If there are too few, it will be sold out as soon as it is sold, which feels bad. If there are too many, it will no longer be novel and can't be sold at a high price.
Also, regarding the embroiderer... should I draw a pattern and make some requirements before entrusting someone else to do it? Or should I hire a professional embroiderer? It's quite a headache!"
"Yun Niang doesn't know this one, but she still knows a thing or two about running an embroidery shop. In the past, in addition to land, my family also had a shop in the county..." When she said this, her eyes turned red.
At that time, she was considered a lady from a wealthy family, served by maids and servants.
But one day the family was broken up and reduced to such a state that even the son was born out of wedlock.
"At that time, my family had more than ten embroiderers. Among them, there were skilled workers and unskilled workers. The skilled workers were expensive, and if we hired all of them, we would earn less. Besides, some jobs could be done by unskilled workers. It was better to have a good match.
In order to ensure that the work is done well, sometimes several people work on one thing. When you finish your work, it will be handed over to me. The cutting is done by the cutting, and the button sewing is done by the button sewing. The embroidery and patterning are also separated, and each person is responsible for his own work. As you said, the finished products are exactly the same. This is probably how it is done! "
"Hmm..." Mo Yi pondered, "We have to divide them into long-term and short-term workers. Long-term workers also need to be provided with food and lodging... Can a small shop afford to support these people? Oh my god, there are so many things to do!"
"Girl, if you have a familiar clothing store, you can go and ask them. They know more."
"Oh! Now that you mentioned it, I remembered. I can go ask Master Jiang."
…
Just two days after I came back, I received a visiting card at home.
It is said that the day after tomorrow, Zhang Debao, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, will come to visit.
"The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?" Mo Rushan looked at the post in confusion.
Although he didn't know who it was, now, if there were guests from the Earl's or Marquis's mansions coming to his house, he would not make a fuss as he did before.
I calmly put it aside and didn't even mention it.
The next day, I asked about it and mentioned it when I came back for dinner.
Mo Yi and Mo Wen didn't know, but Mo Yuan knew: "Uncle, he met Yuan Yuan a few days ago when she attended the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
"Is he here to see you?" Liu was excited. The young master of the Bo Mansion!
Mo Rushong also became excited when he heard it and stared at Mo Yuan...That's right!
Both of my nieces have found a place to stay, now it’s Yuanyuan’s turn.
He had never paid so much attention to his daughter before.
The relationship between the two was neither good nor bad. He had nothing good to give to Mo Yuan, and he didn't know what to say to her.
But Mo Yuan doesn't rely on him, nor does she get close to him.
Could it be that I am going to become the father-in-law of the young master of the Bo Mansion?
Yes, I am no worse than my second brother. If he can be the prince’s father-in-law, then of course I can be too.
"Today, I asked about this company..." said Mo Rushan.
Mo Yuan looked at her uncle with her beautiful eyes.
"His family used to be the House of Loyalty and Bravery. It is said that the current Lord was in poor health since he was young, and could not go to the battlefield and had no achievements. Therefore, after his grandfather died, he was demoted to the House of Lord.
The Lord is no longer able to do this. If Zhang Debao does not make any more achievements, I am afraid that when his father dies, there will be no title for him to inherit.”
When Mo Yuan heard this, she curled her lips: That won't work! He doesn't look good.
"Zhang Debao is the only son and is very spoiled. I guess he won't be allowed to go to the battlefield. Without a special opportunity..." Mo Rushan shook his head.
"However, because the lady is smart and capable, she is quite rich. But having wealth without an official position is not a long-term thing!"
Mo Ruhai nodded: "So, if the descendants are not good, leaving the title and wealth is useless."
Thinking about Moda, then thinking about Mobao, and my precious daughter... I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
I would never encounter such a thing!
"If you really came here for... our Yuan'er, third brother, what do you think..." Mo Rushan asked.
"Uncle, this person is useless!" Mo Yuan said it herself.
Mo Rusong said, "Don't deny it outright... Let's wait and see, in case there's nothing good in the future..."
"How could my daughter not be any better? You have never taken care of her since she was a child, so don't worry about her now!" Liu is now very arrogant.
The next day, Zhang Debao really came.
She wore brand new clothes and had many valuable items hanging around.
The hair was oiled and combed meticulously.
Four servants were behind him, carrying two boxes of gifts. Just looking at the packaging, they were extraordinary items.
He came up and bowed politely and solemnly, "This junior's visit is very abrupt. It's because... the kite I brought to Fourth Miss Mo caused her some trouble. So, I came here specially to apologize."
The three Mo brothers, plus Mo Fan, all stared at him blankly.
What kite? What trouble is this?
"I guess Fourth Miss Mo hasn't told her family about this..." He then told her the whole story in detail.
It highlights Mo Yuan's modesty and politeness and the other girls' rudeness.
"I wonder if Miss Mo Yuan was frightened."
Mo Yuan and Liu were hiding outside the door and eavesdropping. When the maid who poured tea came out, she said with shining eyes, "Two big boxes of gifts!"
The mother and daughter couldn't stay there any longer.
Although Mo Yuan didn't like Zhang Debao, she still dressed up specially when she knew he was coming.
The main style is that of a beautiful girl next door, gentle and virtuous.
"Master, my wife and daughter are here!" She asked the little girl to go in and inform them.
As soon as the mother and daughter appeared, Zhang Debao jumped up, but he was no longer as serious as before.
When he saw Mo Yuan, his eyes lit up. He walked forward to thank her deeply with a big silly smile on his face.
Liu came out excitedly, but her heart sank when she saw this man.
This guy looks too ordinary, not even tall. She heard that Xu Ke and the prince are both tall!
But after taking one look at the two full boxes, he still gave a kind smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, it's you. Why are you here?"
Mo Yuan's eyes were like the little deer in Zhang Debao's deer farm, moist and innocent...
His heart immediately melted into a puddle of water, and his voice became bonelessly gentle: "Debao is worried that the girl was frightened by the rudeness of those girls, so he came here specially..." His face turned red.
Seeing this, Mo Rushan and Mo Ruhai were puzzled. Didn't Mo Yuan not like him? Why was this...
Mo Rusong secretly believed: This guy is a fat sheep! Not bad!
He has a good family background and a lot of money! The key point is... look at how silly he is. Is my daughter playing with him like a kid?
Then I...right?
Therefore, his smile was the most sincere.
"With Mr. Zhang's righteous words, how could Mo Yuan be scared?" Mo Yuan also saw the gift and smiled sweetly.
For a moment, everyone had their own thoughts.
Zhang Debao was not stupid, and he mentioned in a roundabout way that he was interested in Mo Yuan.
Mo Rushan was as calm as a mountain, talking about the many things going on at home recently, such as Mo Da going to the examination hall and Mo Fan going to the Imperial Guards.
He even asked Zhang Debao in a disguised way where he was doing now...
Zhang Debao was speechless. He was used to being free and didn't want to be constrained. If he hadn't come to Mo's house today, he wouldn't know when he would get up.
No matter what plans his mother made for him, he just shook his head and said no.
So, now I am really a white-collar worker.
Seeing that he was speechless, Mo Rushan politely declined the visit and said that he would not accept any gift without merit. Such a gift was too valuable and Mo's family did not dare to accept it.
As a result, the three people from the third branch of the Mo family glared at him.
Zhang Debao knew that the other party didn't like him, and he felt sad and guilty. He resolutely left the gift, didn't even take the box back, and left in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
The people from the third room immediately rushed over...
"Oh my God!"
The dazzling golden gem hairpin, rouge, exquisite purse, and the silk scarf that Mo Yuan tried on last time. Herbal supplements...
No matter how you calculate it, it would be at least a thousand taels.
"What a idiot!" everyone sighed.
"Now it belongs to our third room, right?" Liu started again.
Zhang Debao hurried home: "Dad, Mom! Do you have any connections? Please find a job for my son in the Imperial Guards!"
Uncle Zhongyong and his wife have a good relationship and are drinking tea.
"Oh my son! Are you telling the truth?" Uncle Zhongyong was excited.
Mrs. Bo was very calm: "My son is grown up now, so he understands things. Good son, mother will go find someone right away!"
Zhang Debao smiled happily...
