Doudou stared at the princess with his big eyes, opened his mouth with only two small teeth showing, and smiled at the princess, making the princess very happy.
"Why are you so happy? Are you happy that your mother dislikes you?"
"He saw a beautiful woman. Look at that silly smile."
"Do you think Princess Auntie is prettier than Mommy? Haha, you know what's beautiful and what's not, just giggle!"
Doudou was angry that the two of them said he was smiling foolishly, so he suddenly grabbed the jade pendant worn by the princess and pulled it off.
Bai Zhiyue stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
"Let go, you little bastard!"
The princess didn't care and stopped her from snatching the hand.
"Don't squeeze the child's hand. It's just a jade pendant."
Princess Pingyang took off the jade pendant and stuffed it into his arms
"Take it if you like, there are plenty here!"
"Princess, you can't do this."
At first glance, this jade pendant is a good thing. It must have been worn for a long time and it is shiny.
"What's the problem? We'll give this delightful fat boy anything he wants."
Doudou held the jade pendant tightly
[You are not really a child, why are you coveting other people's jade? ]
"Who told you to say I was giggling? This is my compensation for mental damage, plus the cost of trying to make her happy."
Bai Zhiyue was so angry that she laughed, and she felt mentally damaged. She had to look at the thief and take it. She got it by her own ability.
"Hold on tight."
Doudou didn't want to hold the jade pendant anymore after hearing that. He stretched out his little hand and insisted on giving it to Bai Zhiyue. When Bai Zhiyue didn't want it, he forced it into her hand.
"Haha, this young marquis is really filial. Even at such a young age, he knows how to give good things to you."
The princess laughed to tears
"He's always doing weird things!"
I wasn't giving it to her as a gift. I was just asking her to keep it because it was too heavy for her to hold.
It was my first face-to-face communication with the princess. Because of Doudou's presence, it felt like we were friends who had known each other for a long time, without any barriers at all.
Later, many noble ladies came in one after another. Bai Zhiyue was not very familiar with any of them, but since women are like that, the most common topics they talked about when they sat together were children and clothes.
Because Doudou was the youngest marquis, many ladies came to see him. He received a lot of various ornaments, gold bracelets and gold pendants as gifts, which Qinglian kept in her purse.
Bai Zhiyue couldn't get anything for free, so she would give one back to every young lady or gentleman she brought along, taking one out of her space and secretly wearing it on her body or putting it in her purse. If anyone needed a gift in return, she would take one from her body.
Qinglian and Hongying looked at her with admiration. Madam was indeed thoughtful. Fortunately, she wore so many extra items on her body, otherwise it would be rude. They still lacked experience. They didn't expect that preparing these things would require more learning and careful consideration.
After the greetings, everyone sat down one by one and talked about the clothes on Bai Zhiyue.
"Madam Rongfu's dress is quite unique. Who ordered it? I've never seen anything like it before. Her hair is also very pretty."
"This is a style I designed myself. I have a cloth shop at home and hired an embroiderer to make it. The hairstyle and accessories are specially made to match the clothes, so it looks more unique."
"So it looks like the Madam made it herself. I was thinking of getting one like this too. It looks so elegant and dignified, yet it's eye-catching and gorgeous. It's very suitable for people of our age."
"I like it too. Can you let us use it in this style?"
"Why can't I use this? My family's cloth shop has many samples of clothes now, and this is just one of them. If you like it, you can go and have a look. There may be something more suitable. Even the fabrics have special patterns and colors, which are different from those on the market. Once you have chosen one, let the embroiderer help you make it.
There are also matching hairstyles and accessories, so you can try to match them according to the situation. There are also professional hairstylists to teach you, so you can learn by following them. If you have a favorite accessory style, you can go to Xiangfu Silver Shop, where they have all the styles.
"It's so comprehensive. Not only can you choose a style, but you can also learn how to style your hair and accessorize it. It covers everything from head to toe."
"Hahahaha, Madam Rongfu is such a mischievous person, running into this princess's banquet to do business."
"Isn't this for everyone to enjoy themselves together? We can't waste this beautiful spring time."
"Since they are all so beautiful, you can't leave me behind. I'll go take a look later!"
"You're most welcome. I'll design a unique one for the princess later."
We have to talk about the cooperation with the Chen family. Doudou selected many kinds of silk and brocade patterns and printed them into patterns, and asked Mo Yansong to take them to discuss with the owner of the Chen family cloth shop.
So many fresh patterns naturally attracted the attention of the Chen family, who specialized in fabric business, and they specially sent the young master to the capital. Whether it was silk fabrics or blended fabrics, it was a very important matter to come up with new patterns.
In any business, constantly releasing new products that catch people's eyes is a winning strategy in the market. Especially when so many of them were released at once, the head of the Chen family attached great importance to it.
Afterwards, Chen Dekai came to the Marquis' Mansion specifically to negotiate with Bai Zhiyue, and agreed to provide a total of 20 new patterns of various fabrics every year. The Chen family would give 30% profit on each new pattern for two years, and then all the fabrics would belong to the Chen family. The Chen family would have priority in supplying the fabrics Bai Zhiyue needed, with no limit on the quantity, and the supply would be 10% lower than the market price.
That's why Xiangrui Cloth Shop can now have these new patterns and colors of cloth, which have just been released. Bai Zhiyue took the opportunity of the Spring Banquet to use herself to promote not only the cloth shop but also the silver shop. So far, everyone seems to be very interested, and the effect is good.
You know that these noble people like characteristics that are different from others the most.
When talking about clothes, the ladies have a lot to talk about. Such content will not be affected by the circle, and there is no need to avoid anyone's suspicion, so everyone is very happy to chat.
"It's almost time. Let's go out and see how charming these young ladies and gentlemen are this year! If you find someone you like, please tell me and I'll find a match for you."
"That's great, Princess, the matchmaker is always good. I came here today to ask Princess for a tip. My master has taken a fancy to her..."
The young men and women outside have already started the projects that they had prepared long ago, each showing off their talents and abilities.
There are many activities for spring banquets, including flower appreciation, writing poems and paintings with flowers as the theme; there are games, men compete in horse riding and archery, kicking football, and sword dancing, of course, most of which are pure performances, while women play games such as throwing pots and passing flowers with drums; there are also various activities or performances such as chess, piano, tea art, and incense making.
There are separate prizes for men and women, and the top three overall receive different prizes. Women receive precious jade ornaments, while men receive fine inkstones and inkstones, as well as swords. There are different prizes every year, all offered by the princess herself.
Winning the prize is secondary. What is important is fame. If you have a reputation, matchmakers will come to your door without you having to look for them. Especially for women, who doesn't want to have a good reputation and marry into a good family?
