Her shop reopened, and as the behind-the-scenes owner, Mrs. Shen had no intention of showing up.
After all, the wives of wealthy families would leave the daily management of the dowry shop to the shopkeeper, and they would only be responsible for collecting the money. Even if they went to inspect, they would be very low-key.
Liu, Guan and Zhang naturally did not agree with this idea.
As early as when Mrs. Shen asked Manager Wu to take over the matter, she instructed him to make a set of this kind of clothes for each of the four people, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
Liu Wanyun was very good at coaxing people. She persuaded Mrs. Shen in advance to wear new clothes on the opening day and to go to the scene to see the new clothes. She also invited some ladies she knew to support the occasion. She was sure to make the opening ceremony lively and the business would be prosperous in the future.
Dressed like a young girl and wearing makeup that made her look very young, Mrs. Shen felt very conflicted. She wanted others to notice her beauty, but she was also afraid that others would say she was too frivolous.
As soon as they got off the carriage, the women waiting at the door of Qiluoxuan praised the clothes that Mrs. Shen was wearing. Mrs. Shen's tense heart relaxed, and she called these people to go into the store to choose and try on clothes.
But before he even stepped over the threshold, a sarcastic voice came from the crowd.
"Is the Shen family going to fall into decline? They actually let their wife dress up all fancy to do business?"
The target audience of this newly launched clothing is women, and the people gathered at the door are basically women, but the person who said this is a man standing at the very edge.
I don't know if he just happened to pass by and watch the fun, or if he was sent by another silk shop to cause trouble.
The sound was particularly loud!
As soon as these words were spoken, the women who had originally said that the clothes were beautiful all covered their mouths and laughed softly.
An older woman also sneered, "It's really immoral for the dignified Madam of the Shen family to dress so seductively!"
Mrs. Shen's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and she glared fiercely at Liu Wanyun beside her.
His eyes are full of complaints. It's all your fault for coming up with this bad idea!
Liu Wanyun remained calm, turned around with a smile and looked at everyone.
"When a woman dresses beautifully, it brings honor to a man. A man who is reluctant to spend money will make all kinds of excuses to get you not to buy. As a result, he will turn around and look at those who dress nicely!"
"Men ask women to stay in their proper places, don't let them go out to work, and don't let them dress up beautifully. It's simply because they're afraid that women will become better than them and make them look incompetent!"
"Our Shen family is different! The reason we have such a large business is that the men in the Shen family are capable, not afraid of being surpassed by women, and they love their women. That's why my aunt manages the shop herself, and after so many years of marriage, she still looks as young as a girl!"
These words are very powerful!
It points out the hidden thoughts of men in this era very accurately.
The provocateur left in disgrace.
The remaining women were initially shocked by this unusual statement, but the more they thought about it, the more it made sense, and they all cheered.
"Well said!"
"I want to dress up beautifully too!"
"That's right, that's right. Why should we be shrews at home while men dress up beautifully and go out?"
"We've become more attractive too! He won't have the heart to go out and look at other women anymore!"
A group of people followed and rushed into Qiluoxuan.
Mrs. Shen gave a few speeches, briefly introduced the new skirt, and said that this series of skirts is called "Tang Yun" and new models will be released later.
This name was suggested to her by Liu Wanyun, who also advised her to give each new style of clothing a nice name and add her own unique logo.
Then, she and her three daughters-in-law went into the inner room specially used to receive distinguished guests and waited.
After a while, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Zheng all came.
After a few pleasantries, Mrs. Shen took them to select some silks and gave each of them a set of "Tang Yun" for their daughters.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Du couldn't stop laughing.
“Mrs. Shen is so polite. The other day I saw the two young ladies of the Shen family wearing these clothes. I thought they looked great at the time, so I guessed it was a new style from your family.”
"Oh, I finally got to buy it! My daughter has been talking about this skirt for a long time!"
Mrs. Zheng was very calm. "You are quite steady. You kept everyone in suspense for so long before you started selling."
"Just now, your eldest daughter-in-law's words were incredible! With such a helper, your shop will be very popular! The other shops of the Shen family probably can't compete with you!"
The Zheng family runs a winery business, and originally their business was one of the best in Puning City. However, ever since the old man of the Shen family married the young lady of the Zheng family, he gradually took over most of the winery business.
In addition, the current head of the Zheng family is not as business-minded as the men of the Shen family, so naturally the business has gradually declined.
Seeing that the Shen family's business is now flourishing, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but feel emotional!
Liu Wanyun and the other two were helping to tidy up nearby. When they heard the praise, they looked at each other and felt very happy.
It seems that I am one step closer to winning over my mother-in-law.
Mrs. Shen smiled and thought that her daughter-in-law was okay, but she was very humble. "My eldest daughter-in-law is a sharp-tongued person with a lot of reasons. She is the best at talking and bluffing people!"
"You should be content! What daughter-in-law would be so protective of her aunt?"
Madam Shen thought, this is all an illusion!
You don’t know that the things he did and the words he said in the mansion can make someone angry to death!
She could only smile politely and end the topic.
After packing up the things for the ladies, he came out from the inner room and prepared to send them to the back door.
Suddenly, a lady dressed in an exaggerated manner came over and said, "Oh, Madam Shen, Madam Du, I finally see you!"
Mrs. Shen felt that this person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
Madam Du's face was full of impatience. "Madam Ma, please do as you please. We are leaving now."
Madam Ma was very shameless. She didn't realize she was unwelcome. Instead, she enthusiastically pulled Liu Wanyun over. "Madam Du, you may not know that I am Madam Shen's eldest daughter-in-law and Wanyun's aunt!"
Liu Wanyun secretly thought that something was wrong when she saw her for the first time.
I don’t know what this aunt who suddenly appeared is going to do today.
But this is a real relationship, Shen Chaodong has seen him before, she certainly can't say she doesn't know him, she can only smile politely, which is considered as tacit agreement.
Mrs. Du's expression was very subtle. She glanced at Mrs. Shen, then looked at Liu Wanyun and her aunt and niece. The impatient expression she had just shown faded a lot.
"I didn't know that Madam Ma was actually a relative of the eldest young master's wife."
Madam Ma said with a shameless face, "Who says it's not true? Rich people also have poor relatives. I will also benefit from having a dear niece like me!"
"From now on, we are all relatives!"
When she said this, Madam Shen and Madam Du's expressions turned ugly, especially Madam Du...
