In the end, Xiao Mochen accepted the silver and said to Yan Qingqing, "Aunt, consider this silver a loan from Mochen. I will definitely repay you double in the future."
Yan Qingqing did not refuse, but simply nodded with a smile.
However, she felt that it was better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. She would think about it carefully later and see if there were any good business opportunities that she could bring Xiao Mochen along to do together.
Now that her cosmetics shop is open, the next step is to open her embroidery shop.
This time she wanted to do something different. Although the embroidery workshops in Canghe Town were quite good, they were generally a bit disorganized, especially after cotton cloth was produced, when the focus shifted to cloth production.
She no longer wants to cooperate with the Wu family. Besides, those headdresses don't require much skill. As soon as the new styles are released, imitations will appear on the market within a few days, and they will be cheaper than those from Canghe Liji.
Therefore, it is no longer very likely to make money from fabric headwear.
Dolls and cotton fabric still have a good market, especially cotton fabric, which is comfortable and soft to wear, and is loved by both ordinary people and high-ranking officials.
Yan Qingqing asked Ruyi to make her several charcoal pencils, and she drew several designs overnight.
Finally, some modifications were made, and then a few of the sexiest ones were selected and carefully admired under the lights.
Yan Qingqing became more and more satisfied with her drawings, sometimes even thinking that she was a little genius for drawing so well.
Seeing her own drawing, she was really itching to create a finished product right away.
Just as Yan Qingqing was feeling good about herself, Ruyi came in with a bowl of late-night snack and said, "Madam, it's getting late. Why don't you have some late-night snack and rest? I specially asked the kitchen to make it for you."
The second young master specifically instructed that you shouldn't stay up too late, as it's bad for your eyes.
Yan Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Anyway, I've finished drawing."
After saying that, he put the paper and pen in his hand on the table and reached out to take the bird's nest and white fungus soup from Ruyi's hand.
As Yan Qingqing drank, she exclaimed, "This is such a comfortable life! There's even such delicious bird's nest to eat!"
Yan Qingqing truly feels that she is living a very comfortable life now. She never dared to imagine that she could have such a comfortable life when the Li family was so poor before.
Ruyi, however, disagreed and said, "Madam, you are now Lady Mingzhao, what's wrong with eating some bird's nest?"
Ruyi only came to the Li family after they became wealthy, and she had never seen what the Li family was like before, so she couldn't understand Yan Qingqing's feelings at all.
Yan Qingqing was happily eating her late-night snack when Ruyi, worried that she might accidentally spill it on her finished drawing, helped her collect it.
However, Ruyi was stunned when she saw what Yan Qingqing had drawn and then asked, "Madam, what is this you have drawn? Is it an eye patch? And what is this triangle? It even has a hole in it."
Yan Qingqing, who was happily drinking bird's nest soup, suddenly spat out the liquid in her mouth, spraying it all over Ruyi, and then started coughing violently.
Ruyi forgot about her newly made clothes and quickly patted Yan Qingqing's back to help her catch her breath.
Seeing that Yan Qingqing had stopped coughing, Ruyi looked at her newly made clothes with a look of utter despair.
This was a gift from her older brother. The first time she put it on, the lady threw up all over her.
Yan Qingqing looked at Ruyi somewhat awkwardly and said, "I'm so sorry, Ruyi, I just couldn't help it."
"I'll get you a new one later."
Everything Ruyi has today is thanks to Yan Qingqing; how could she let the madam compensate her for the clothes?
So he quickly said, "No need, madam, I'll wash up later."
But why did you suddenly choke? Were you eating too fast?
"Don't worry, Madam, there's more in the kitchen. I'll get more after you finish eating."
Yan Qingqing: ……
That brat, she's making fun of her now. If she weren't the one doing it, would she have choked on her own?
Still watching? That's quite an imagination.
However, upon further reflection, she realized that Ruyi couldn't be entirely blamed, since she had never seen this thing before and it was normal for her not to recognize it.
So Yan Qingqing put down the bowl in her hand, took the drawing from Ruyi's hand, pointed to the picture on it and said, "Ruyi, are you blind? This is a dress that I drew."
Ruyi was genuinely surprised and didn't realize it. She stammered, "How can I wear something so small?"
"Why can't I wear it?" Yan Qingqing pointed to one of the pictures and said, "This is a top. You see, these two circles cover this area perfectly."
After saying that, he gestured in front of his chest.
Then he took out another piece of paper and said, "These are underwear. They'll fit perfectly when you put them on."
Especially when a woman is menstruating, she can put on a menstrual belt to hold it in place, which is much better than just wearing pants.
Yan Qingqing's drawing was already quite conservative, but Ruyi's face turned bright red upon hearing this.
This is so embarrassing! How can someone wear clothes that are so small?
However, the picture the lady drew is indeed beautiful; it would seem quite nice to wear it.
Ruyi glanced at the painting, then lowered her head again, looking as if she wanted to look but dared not.
Yan Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes. Everyone says that women have nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that once you get used to wearing it, you won't be able to adapt when you stop wearing it.
Yan Qingqing designed modern-style underwear.
Yan Qingqing said to Ruyi, "Once they're produced, I'll have the embroidery workshop make a set for you according to your measurements."
I'm telling you, especially this one above, not only makes your legs look bigger, but it also helps prevent them from sagging as you get older.
Ruyi blushed and nodded when she heard this. She wished this thing were really that good.
She's not bad-looking, but her breasts are a bit small, like little steamed buns. It's probably because her family was too poor when she was young, and she suffered from malnutrition for a long time.
Especially in front of Ru Xue, the two of them seemed even more inferior.
If she could really make herself look older, she would turn around and proudly show off.
Yan Qingqing didn't care what Ruyi was thinking. Seeing that it was getting late and it would be almost dawn if she didn't go to sleep, she made Ruyi turn off the light and quickly fall asleep.
The next day, Yan Qingqing woke up full of energy, and she felt that her body was getting better and better.
Unlike when she first arrived, when she was frail and looked like she might die at any moment.
After Yan Qingqing had practiced for a while, she asked the main kitchen to prepare the meal.
Although each of their courtyards had its own small kitchen after they arrived in the capital, they only used it when they were hungry at night or when they needed an extra meal.
Normally, everyone eats in the canteen, where the food is prepared by the main kitchen.
Yan Qingqing was quite satisfied to see Li Xinniang, Li Yueniang, Li Xiang'an, Li Xiangyang, and Mu Xi sitting neatly together.
She enjoys the feeling of everyone eating together, chatting and laughing, it's very lively.
The Li family has never had a rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping.
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Li Xinniang suddenly covered her mouth and ran out.
