The Pavilion of Rainbow Garments...
The magistrate's wife suddenly remembered, "Isn't it the clothing shop that sold silk scarves before?" She turned to ask the two maids beside her.
The maids nodded. "Yes, Madam."
"I bought a lot from that shop before, all kinds of colors. I bought about twenty..." The magistrate's wife thought for a moment and continued.
She really likes silk scarves; wearing them always makes her feel different.
She has a very elegant demeanor.
He Tiantian's lips twitched. Buying so much... This shopkeeper really knows how to do business; he's even charmed the county magistrate's wife.
"Then how should I wear this?" the magistrate's wife asked curiously.
People come and go in this courtyard, and He Tiantian was too embarrassed to say anything.
She gestured for the magistrate's wife to come upstairs, so she could explain in detail. This was a good opportunity to start sales through the magistrate's wife.
The magistrate's wife loved collecting novel and beautiful clothes, and she owned at least a thousand sets.
You can change your outfit every day and never wear the same thing twice in years.
He Tiantian led the county magistrate's wife upstairs to her room.
She carefully closed the doors and windows, then picked up a set of thermal underwear and introduced it, saying, "Madam, this is for wearing underneath, close to the body."
He Tiantian noticed that the long johns had a drawstring made of fine silk at the waist.
The material is very smooth and doesn't irritate the skin when tied around the waist.
She held the clothes up against herself and, well, she was quite satisfied.
“It rained last night, and the wind is quite strong today. Wearing this will definitely be warmer than wearing an undergarment. Madam, the size of this garment seems to fit you perfectly, why don't you try it on?”
The magistrate's wife arrived in a sedan chair this morning, and because of the cold and windy weather, she had already put on a cloak.
He only took off his cloak when he entered.
The magistrate's wife was very interested and did not refuse at all. "Alright, I'll try this thermal underwear too and see if it keeps you warm."
He Tiantian wisely avoided the situation and left. Before leaving, she repeatedly emphasized to the two maids how to wear the clothes.
It's pretty simple, you shouldn't make any mistakes.
Ancient clothing was quite complicated to wear, with many layers. Especially for women from wealthy families, their clothes were not something they could put on by themselves.
Therefore, one needs a maid or page to help with dressing.
He Tiantian waited outside the door, and after a long while, the door was finally pushed open from the inside.
The magistrate's wife touched her arms and moved them around. She was quite surprised. "Wow, these clothes are not only warm, but they also feel so light against my skin, it's like I'm not wearing anything at all."
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Then Madam, please feel it again and see if there is anything that makes you uncomfortable. We can ask the shop to make any changes."
The magistrate's wife really did try it on from head to toe, and found that it fit her perfectly without any discomfort.
"Mrs. He, why is the shopkeeper here to deliver a sample garment to you? Did you come up with the idea of having this custom-made?" The magistrate's wife also wanted to have a garment custom-made.
No, one set is definitely not enough. She needs to have ten or eight sets custom-made.
He Tiantian then explained the whole story, in short, this was an industry she had invested in.
She knew nothing about garment making, so she could only offer ideas and concepts.
Even without He Tiantian stating it bluntly, the magistrate's wife had already considered how to sell them.
She was a warm-hearted person, and Liu Chuyu had indeed changed a lot under He Tiantian's care, solving her family's most important problem.
Therefore, the magistrate's wife felt that she should be able to help with this.
After thinking for a moment, the magistrate's wife said, "Madam He, how about this? You have the shopkeeper send a few more sample garments to my residence, and I'll organize a gathering there. We can let the wives of those wealthy merchants try them on. If they like them, word will spread and they'll all go to the shop to buy them."
This was exactly what He Tiantian had in mind, and she was very grateful. "Then it will really trouble you, Madam. I will personally tell Manager Guan about this news and ask him to make preparations as soon as possible."
The two reached an agreement: if the county magistrate's wife was willing to help with publicity, He Tiantian would temporarily refrain from visiting Miss Li.
After all, she would feel quite embarrassed to ask Miss Li for help.
In the past few days, He Tiantian has explained everything about the shop to everyone.
At Zhao Denglong's current learning pace, he will actually be able to take over the shop on his own very soon.
He Tiantian was still thinking about going back to give Director Song a congratulatory gift, and she also needed to start looking for a head chef for the small restaurant.
Then we'll have Zhao Denglong free up some of the kitchen work so he can spend more time managing the restaurant.
Also, she remembered that she was supposed to find a wife for Manager Guan.
Thinking about this, He Tiantian felt uneasy.
As a modern-day single woman, she's almost reduced to arranging marriages for others. She's been making inquiries on and off lately, but hasn't found anyone suitable.
Tomorrow, after Zhao Dahai and Zhao Xiangbei deliver the water, she will take a carriage and go back with them.
The night before, He Tiantian opened the Modern Mall website, intending to search for and buy a congratulatory gift.
Her search keywords were: housewarming gifts.
[Ding-dong! The system has automatically provided you with thousands of housewarming gifts. Please check them.]
He Tiantian looked at them one by one; there were quite a few. But choosing a suitable one was quite difficult.
