In fact, the term "Fu Niangzi" was originally taboo among the royal family.
You have to know that the emperor is the Son of Heaven. No matter what blessings there are in the world, they should be in the royal family. If a village girl becomes a blessed lady, even if the emperor doesn't say it, he will definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.
But the prince treated it as a joke, calling her "little kid" and "little lucky lady". This became a pastime for the father and son after dinner, and it was actually a form of protection for her.
In this way, Tang Shiyue had already registered with the top leader without knowing it.
And of course, when the shadow guard spoke, he only talked about things related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Emperor Mingyan couldn't help but frown as he listened: "The prince is staying at a farmer's house?"
The shadow guard said, "Yes, His Highness has never revealed his identity, and never allowed us to take action. We used to stay in an inn, but His Highness said that staying in an inn has its advantages, you can hear the news coming and going from the south and the north, and staying in a farmer's house has its meaning, you can experience the local customs and habits, and you can actually see how many grains of rice are in the people's pots and whether there is meat on the table."
Emperor Mingyan nodded, "It's hard for him."
He sighed: "This child always reports good news but never bad news. He never said anything after suffering such a crime."
Gu Jiuxing hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm afraid the emperor will worry."
...
...
"So, I am not worried anymore?" Emperor Ming Yan sighed and asked the shadow guard, "Have you ever encountered any danger?"
The shadow guard had a strange expression on his face. He paused before saying, "There are dangers, but there are also some minor troubles... Many young ladies blush when they see Your Highness."
Emperor Ming Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The shadow guard continued with a simple and honest face: "Sheng Xiaolang said that this is called a positive peach blossom, and there is also a peach blossom disaster. This little lucky lady also met because of this."
He told the story of Nianyao, and Emperor Ming Yan laughed out loud.
Gu Jiuxing stood under the throne, listening with a smile on his face, like a bodhisattva, but he was thinking in his heart... the prince has met a master, he has made progress, and will also compete for favor.
In fact, the prince has a gentle temperament and is thoughtful in his work, but in the royal family, sometimes being too thoughtful can be a mistake. For example, he was neglected for two or three years, and then the emperor found an excuse to scold him and sent him away to "understand the people's sentiments."
There was no deadline, and it’s been almost half a year.
As the saying goes, things smell better when they are far away, and smell worse when they are near. The prince is the emperor's most proud son. When he is around, the emperor dislikes him in every way. But when he is far away, how can he not miss him? Especially during special times like the New Year, he misses him even more.
Then at this time, the prince presented the four treasures and a half that he had woven by himself, and the emperor's anger was probably gone. When the prince returned to the palace, it was estimated that the former glory would be restored.
At the same time, there were suddenly many children wearing hats in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
It is the kind of hat, earmuffs, scarf and mask all in one, leaving only the eyes exposed. The hat can be rolled up, and both sides are twisted. At the same time, a layer of soft silk cloth is lined inside the face. It is soft, warm and beautiful.
The children, all of whom were very pretty, were demonstrating by rolling up and pulling down their hats from time to time. Many people stopped them and asked where they bought them, and then they were all directed to a shop.
Yuefang.
Yuefang opened quietly at some point in time.
Because the socks that were popular before became famous later, and the Sibaoban brand became popular, when people saw the word "Yuefang", they would say "oh" in their mind. This is the brand effect.
At this time, in front of this inconspicuous shop, an arc-shaped circle was formed by tables and ropes, and many burly men were going back and forth to maintain order.
There was a sign at the back with huge characters that read, "Yuefang Special Sale, the Fubao hat originally priced at 20 taels is now only 9.9 taels. If you buy 10 taels, you will get a pair of red socks of the same color for free. Only on sale for three days. Hurry if you want to buy."
Many well-dressed young men were shouting and demonstrating the hat called "Fubao Hat" to everyone.
The colors include pink and blue, which are common for modern boys and girls, but most of them are bright red.
It is a custom to let children wear red during the Chinese New Year. It is the time to buy New Year goods. Anyone who has a little money wants to buy them. Moreover, the advertising slogan at the end is unheard of in that era. Not buying them is like losing money, so everyone is simply rushing to buy them.
Each person is limited to buying five hats. Of course, some people wanted to buy more, but they were rejected by the waiter. The reason was that he wanted everyone to be able to buy one. No one dared to force someone to buy in front of so many people. As for those rich young men who like to claim "My father is Li Gang"... Sorry, this is a women's battlefield.
At this time, in a teahouse not far away, a pair of slender white hands were holding up a hat and looking at it carefully, saying, "How can the owner of Yuefang be so clever?"
The boy next to him snorted, "It's just a hat."
"It's just a pair of socks, it's just a hat. You don't know how to do anything, but you are so arrogant that you dare to look down on everyone! Our Meng family started out by making some small silk handkerchiefs. Do you want you to say 'it's just a handkerchief'?"
The boy couldn't even raise his head because of what he said. The young man continued, "Besides, it's not just about the things." He pointed down, "The timing, the place, and the methods he chose may seem crude, but they are all ingenious and have far-reaching influence. This person is very cunning and should not be underestimated."
The young man said, "Didn't you say she was just a young lady of thirteen or fourteen?"
"Well," the young man frowned slightly, "I'm afraid there is someone else behind her. I'll go meet her after the New Year."
The young man was surprised: "That kind of remote and poor place... cough cough," he quickly swallowed and blinked with a smile: "Second brother, if it is really a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, once she sees you, she will definitely offer her family property with both hands. Who can resist our 'dream Meng Erlang'!"
The handsome young man smiled slightly, but did not refute.
…………
In this age where communication basically relies on shouting, Tang Shiyue, who planned this sale, received no feedback at all and didn't know whether it was successful or not.
So when Yan Dong came in, she put down the storybook and asked him, "Did you give that to..." She pointed upwards and said, "Did you deliver it?"
Yan Dong has known her character well these days. He poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile, "You want to know how your 'sale' went?"
"No, I want to know both of them." Tang Shiyue said, "If the sale is good and can make Yuefang famous, it can only be considered a small victory. If a saint wears my Yuefang clothes... wow, that would be a surprise! I think my name will go down in history!"
Yan Dong smiled and said, "There have been so many embroiderers throughout history, which one have you seen leave a name in history?"
Tang Shiyue thought so too, so she put down the storybook and moved closer to him: "Mr. Yan, you see, we are also friends who have eaten from the same pot. Do you have any way to let the saint praise you in public?"
Seeing her eyes rolling around, she looked naughty and playful. Yan Dong found it a little funny and deliberately put down his tea bowl to look at her: "What good is there for me?"
Tang Shiyue said seriously: "I'll give you 10% of the profits?"
"Oh?" Yan Dong said, "The words of a saint are only worth 10% of the bonus?"
If this question were asked in the court, it would make the ministers sweat like pigs, and if they gave a wrong answer, they would be charged with disrespect.
But although Tang Shiyue was smart, he lacked respect for imperial power and did not really notice it.
She still answered seriously: "That's not right. The words of a saint are priceless, but I have a limited amount of silver! I still have a lot of things to do, so I can't give it all to you. This is one."
"Secondly, although the words of the saint will bring many benefits to Yuefang, risks and opportunities are inseparable. Moreover, for me, this shortcut is not a must. If I don't take this path, I can take another one. In addition, Yuefang's production is limited. If there are too many people buying, I will have nothing to sell. There is no point in just pursuing sales."
Yan Dong frowned at what she said and shook his head: "It's not easy."
He glanced at her, but gave up trying to explain the whole thing to her, and asked her, "You said you have a lot of things to do. What are they?"
