After the housewarming banquet, the Wei family's life in the General's Mansion was finally on track.
Although Jiang Mingwei knew that Lu Yun had always had a problem with her, after all, it was because of her that Lu Yun was unable to become the legal wife.
Since there was no direct conflict, the situation remained calm on the surface.
However, her scheme to hold the housewarming party backfired, causing her to lose face and be ridiculed by everyone. It was clear that Lu Yun's hatred for her was surging.
He used to greet her when they met at the manor, but now he acts as if he didn't see her at all, and his anger is almost bursting out.
Fortunately, she wasn't demanding in terms of food, clothing, housing, or transportation, so Jiang Mingwei didn't bother arguing with her.
But Hua Cui was very unhappy with what she saw.
"Miss, what did Madam Lu mean? She just snorted when she saw you and turned away. You are, after all, the proper First Madam. What is she to her?"
"Now she has no official title or status. Although she is in charge of the general's mansion's internal affairs, to put it bluntly, she is just doing the work for free. How dare she treat you like this, Miss?"
He muttered to himself as he walked forward.
At least their young lady has won the favor of the mistress, and these days even the old lady doesn't dare to be disrespectful to her. How could she, a mere mistress, have the nerve to do so?
Jiang Mingwei smiled calmly, her expression undisturbed.
"So what? If she's going to get angry, let her get angry. It's pointless to argue with her. I'd rather take a nap than waste my energy on that."
As Jiang Mingwei reached the door, she happened to run into Wang Dajia, who was on his way to class. She quickly bowed and greeted him.
"teacher."
Are you going out?
Wang Dajia nodded and asked Jiang Mingwei.
Jiang Mingwei nodded. "That's right. Is the teacher going to class? I wonder how he's doing?"
As agreed, Wang Dajia started teaching the day before yesterday, and today is the third day. Jiang Mingwei hasn't had time to ask about Wei Heng's situation yet.
Since we've run into each other today, I naturally had to ask a question.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang sighed, his eyes filled with disappointment and disgust, clearly showing his dissatisfaction.
"It's worse than I imagined. He's not very talented and he's not willing to work hard and study. If this continues, it will backfire sooner or later!"
"The teacher's teaching is unparalleled. Just do your best. If the child doesn't learn well, that's their fate and has nothing to do with the teacher."
Jiang Mingwei gently comforted him, said a few more words, and then parted ways with Wang Dajia, turning to walk out of the mansion.
Hua Cui followed beside her, glanced back at Wang Dajia's back, and then turned to her own young mistress.
"Miss, since that child isn't talented, why bother having Master Wang teach him? Isn't that a waste of talent!"
"I've already told them the right things, but did anyone listen? Since they insist on courting death, let's see what happens. Sooner or later, they'll regret it. It shouldn't be long. Let's wait and see."
Jiang Mingwei spoke softly, leading Hua Cui towards Hua Rong Clothing Store.
When the two arrived at the door, they were shocked by what they saw.
"My goodness, Miss, am I seeing things? Is this still the same Hua Rong Clothing Store? There are so many people, how are we going to squeeze in?"
Hua Cui's eyes widened, she rubbed them, and said in disbelief.
The Huarong Clothing Store in front of us is no longer the deserted place it once was; now it's bustling with customers!
There were many customers coming and going, shouting and clamoring to go in and buy a piece of clothing, afraid that they wouldn't be able to squeeze in.
Jiang Mingwei's eyes sparkled, and the corners of her mouth turned up. She was filled with indescribable excitement and joy. Just as she expected!
"Let's go in through the back door."
After walking a short distance with the cured meat and cauliflower, they turned into a small alley and, after several twists and turns, arrived at a vermilion gate. Jiang Mingwei raised the iron ring and knocked hard. Soon the gate opened, and a head popped out. It was the shop assistant from Huarong Clothing Store. His eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Mingwei.
"Miss, what brings you here!"
He quickly opened the door and let Jiang Mingwei in.
Stepping into the courtyard and looking around, I saw that Huarong Clothing Store was bustling with activity, with the shop assistants and craftsmen practically running around without their feet touching the ground.
"Business is so good! Where's Aunt Lan?"
"Yes, it's all thanks to Miss. After you wore that outfit to the housewarming party, didn't the princess praise it? Later, Her Highness reserved one set from us, and the rest were also reserved by those noble ladies."
"Later, when people came to ask again, they were simply sold out. We even told them that we would release limited edition styles in the future. Quite a few people can't afford those expensive custom-made dresses, so they want to buy ready-to-wear clothes from us!"
The shop assistant, beaming with excitement, recounted the thriving business at Huarong Clothing Store to Jiang Mingwei and me over the past few days, his face radiating extreme enthusiasm.
After all, Huarong Clothing Store was doing well, so their wages also increased accordingly!
Who wouldn't want their employer to get better and better?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingwei's smile remained unchanged. She had only intended to try out the outfit, but she hadn't expected it to be so successful.
Thanks to the big boss, who really helped her a lot, her business, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was revived in one fell swoop.
This speed is something that, if she weren't one of the fashion trendsetters in Beijing, probably no one else could achieve.
"It's good that business is good. What about Aunt Lan?"
The waiter was taken aback, and quickly slapped his forehead.
"Look at my brain! Miss just asked that question, and I forgot. Manager Lan is maintaining order up ahead. I'll go and call him over right now."
Thinking that she wouldn't be around for a while, Jiang Mingwei nodded and sat in the backyard waiting for Liu Rulan to come over.
Half an incense stick later, Liu Rulan hurriedly came over, covered in sweat.
Upon seeing Jiang Mingwei, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Mingwei, you've been a huge help to the store this time! Everyone here is practically running around like crazy!"
Upon seeing Jiang Mingwei, she couldn't wait to speak, and Jiang Mingwei chuckled.
"If it can help the store, that would be best. Have all those dresses been sold?"
Liu Rulan nodded: "More than that. On the day the housewarming party ended, the eldest daughter-in-law came. We first took out the dresses we had made for her to choose from, and then we showed her the styles we hadn't made yet. She chose the most gorgeous one and left."
"As soon as the lady left, a group of noble ladies came to the door one after another. I originally thought that these dresses would take at least a month to sell out, but I didn't expect that they would be sold out in just one hour, just one hour!"
Liu Rulan's usually composed face showed surprise as she held up a finger to Jiang Mingwei and asked in astonishment.
"They didn't even ask the price; they just gave me whatever they wanted. Since the clothing store was founded, even the most expensive clothes have never seen such a grand occasion!"
"Mingwei, you're practically the lucky star of the clothing store! How do you do it?"
