When I got home, the work of carrying manure was over, but the stench still lingered in the air. In any case, it was a major problem solved.
Luo Yingying and Ma Chunyan hadn't gone back yet, but when they saw Song Ning return, they showed her what they had made.
Seeing the finished product, Song Ning's bad mood instantly brightened, as if she could see lots of money beckoning to her.
What girl wouldn't love such a pretty hair accessory?
The two of them made two of each pattern, and they can take them to Jiangning County to try them out tomorrow.
She made the right choice in hiring him; he did a great job.
"Er Ya, do you think it's okay?" Luo Yingying asked nervously.
“Okay, great, don’t worry, I’ll take it to Jiangning County tomorrow.”
She had already arranged with the owner of Yunxiufang to have the hair accessories she made tested there first.
Yunxiufang should be considered one of the top cloth shops in Jiangning County, and over the years its business has encompassed more than just cloth.
The proprietress is a visionary; every time she made money, she would develop a new business.
There are jewelry counters on the second floor of Yunxiufang, and I heard that business is pretty good.
The next day, Song Ning arrived just as Yunxiufang opened. The proprietress was surprised to see Song Ning arrive so early.
"Boss lady, I've brought you some business."
The proprietress immediately smiled and said, "You mean the hair accessory you mentioned before is finished?"
Song Ning smiled and handed over the box, saying, "Boss lady, take a look first. Are you satisfied?"
The proprietress, who had been in business for so many years, was still stunned when she opened the box.
These hair accessories...are truly unique.
They're much prettier than the ones in her shop.
Without these hair accessories, the hair accessories in her shop do look quite nice, but when compared side by side, the difference becomes apparent.
Without saying a word, the proprietress stayed and even went upstairs to set the table herself.
"Madam, how much silver do you plan to sell this hair accessory for?"
The proprietress didn't want to lie to anyone: "We've been acquainted for a while now, so I don't want to exaggerate. The most expensive hair ornaments in the shop usually cost 800 coins, while hairpins, hair ornaments, and hair ornaments are a bit more expensive, costing one tael of silver."
"This is indeed beautiful, but I can't sell it for too high a price, so I'll raise the price by fifty coins, making it eight hundred and fifty coins."
Song Ning calculated her costs and realized that she would not lose money if she spent two hundred coins.
When you do the math, these hair accessories are indeed very profitable.
The proprietress knew that Song Ning was a smart man and would not let herself be taken advantage of, so she immediately said, "How about this, neither of us will lose out, I'll give you a price of six hundred coins per tube."
This price is indeed quite good. Song Ning was still calculating how to allocate the money and didn't respond for a moment.
The proprietress thought she felt it wasn't enough, so she added another fifty coins.
Six hundred and fifty coins, and the proprietress earns two hundred coins, which is already quite a lot.
Song Ning immediately agreed.
She needs to buy tools and materials, and these things might go up in price later. Six hundred and fifty coins is already quite a lot.
The matter was settled, and when Yunxiufang officially opened for business, Song Ning observed the reactions of the customers.
Sure enough, the young ladies and wives from wealthy families who came were not short of money. After asking a few questions, they paid and put the headbands on the spot.
Once the first customer arrived, a second and a third followed, and soon the area upstairs selling hair accessories was packed with people.
Before Song Ning left, the hair accessories were almost sold out. The proprietress smiled so broadly that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Song Ning paid the money and left. This business was profitable, and they now had another way to make money.
If things stabilize, we need to get more people to learn; relying solely on Luo Yingying and Ma Chunyan won't be enough.
This matter needs to be discussed back home. Song Ning is going to the clinic next. Passing by a bookstore, Song Ning remembers that she still doesn't know how to use a calligraphy brush, so she decides to go in and see if they have any calligraphy copybooks or anything like that.
Before I even reached the bookstore entrance, I saw two people come out of the bookstore.
It was Zhou Ling'an and a beautiful girl he didn't know.
Zhou Ling'an looked indifferent, while the girl followed behind him, saying something.
The girl looked like a rich family's daughter, chasing after Zhou Ling'an. The way she did that reminded Song Ning of the old Song Er Ya.
The old Song Erya wasn't this dignified.
Song Ning didn't step forward; it seemed that Zhou Ling'an had no interest in this girl.
She thought of Luo Yingying again and couldn't help but click her tongue.
Zhou Ling'an is truly a femme fatale; wherever he goes, trouble never comes, and there are always girls who like him.
Once the girl had walked away, Song Ning stepped forward and asked, "Who was that girl?"
Zhou Ling'an was startled. When he turned around, his eyes showed unprecedented panic: "It's nothing. She's just a classmate's younger sister who asked me to take care of her. I have no relationship with her at all."
Since Song Ning said those things last time, Zhou Ling'an has entered the academy, and Song Ning hasn't seen him for several days.
Zhou Ling'an was pleased that Song Ning had taken the initiative to speak to him today: "You... are still willing to talk to me?"
Song Ning smiled in confusion: "What are you saying? We're all neighbors, isn't it normal to greet each other when we meet?"
She didn't want to have much contact with the Zhou family anymore, but that didn't mean she would cut ties completely and never speak to them when they met; those were two different things.
Zhou Ling'an finally smiled. Ever since that day, he had felt like he couldn't breathe. Now that he had seen Er Ya and even spoken to her, he felt much more relaxed.
Xie Linzhou was out running errands with Zhang Ping today, and on their way back they happened to pass by this street. From a distance, he saw Song Ning and Zhou Ling'an talking in front of the bookstore, and his whole body went cold.
Zhang Ping, who was standing next to him, looked into the distance and spotted the two of them at a glance. He sighed inwardly. His young master was always unhappy whenever he saw this girl. What outrageous thing had she done?
At the bookstore entrance, Song Ning's expression suddenly changed. Just now, she seemed to...
She started to feel a dull ache in her lower abdomen. Could it be that she's getting her period?
The stomach pain was getting worse and worse. Song Ning looked unwell, frowning and clutching her stomach.
I need to find a secluded place to enter the space quickly.
"Er Ya, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Zhou Ling'an saw that Song Ning's face was pale and quickly helped her up, asking with concern.
"I'm fine, you go ahead and do your work, I'll be going now."
"No, you don't look well. I'll take you to the clinic first."
"Really, it's not necessary. I'm fine. You can go now."
"How can I leave you alone? At least let me take you to the clinic." Zhou Ling'an grabbed Song Ning's arm and wouldn't let go no matter what.
That poor kid, was he doing it on purpose?
Song Ning lost her patience: "Really, you don't need to. You should leave now."
Before Zhou Ling'an could say anything, Song Ning was suddenly pulled away by a force. Xie Linzhou looked at Zhou Ling'an coldly, his tone more authoritative than ever before: "You can leave now."
