Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 164
"Young Master." Shopkeeper Wu called again suspiciously. Kong Linglong was distracted frequently today, "This antique satin is in good condition, but the price is a bit high. How do you decide? Should I keep it or not?"

Kong Linglong finally came back to her senses, tried her best to straighten her expression, and looked at the cloth in front of her: "The quality is good, and good goods are hard to come by, especially now that we need supplies to support the store. As for the final consideration of the price, let's take this piece." .”

After receiving the letter, shopkeeper Wu shook his head to the boy who delivered the goods: "That's fine, follow me to the counter to check out!"

The little guy also liked this happy shop, so he followed it out immediately.

Yu'er checked Kong Linglong's face, but decided to ask carefully, "Miss?"

Kong Linglong had already made herself look like she was putting on a face, as long as she didn't show any signs when facing the guys outside, it didn't matter.She shook her head: "It's okay, the silk and satin have been brought in, now we need to think about the source of customers."

Yu'er was also curious about what method the lady was going to use. The shopkeeper Wu had already paid the bill and came in from the outside, but his expression was not so relaxed: "Miss, this piece of antique satin is a semi-finished product, and there is no pattern on it. How many people bought it."

He persuaded him before buying, but Kong Linglong didn't listen.The shopkeeper Wu had poured cold water on him from the very beginning, and he still hasn't given up until now. Yu'er gave him an annoyed look.

Kong Linglong's complexion returned to light: "We need semi-finished products. The patterns they make have not changed for more than ten years. Even if we buy them, they won't be useful."

Shopkeeper Wu said in amazement: "Shao Dangjia will never want to customize the pattern by himself. Let alone the cost, the pattern sold outside is already the most popular, and customers are willing to buy it. If you change the pattern without authorization, if you can't sell it What? This batch of satin cost us 2 taels..."

Shopkeeper Wu felt that he would not be able to sell, and this young master started to get hot-headed again. Yes, she is not short of money as a young master of Confucius, so the tens of thousands of taels will be thrown into the water, so don't use his shop to show off what.

Yu'er finally couldn't help it: "Business Manager Wu, you haven't started to do anything yet, how can you be sure that it won't be successful? No wonder the silk and satin shop is declining day by day, and I don't see you making any efforts. So you thought in advance that it would definitely fail?"

Shopkeeper Wu's face changed. He didn't expect that he would be robbed by a girl, but Kong Linglong didn't stop him. Shopkeeper Wu felt that it was boring, so he went back to the outside and became the shopkeeper.

It didn't matter whether he, the shopkeeper, shook hands or not. Anyway, Kong Linglong didn't count on him, so she asked Yu'er to follow her into the room.

Yu'er finally understood what Miss was thinking, and she was a little excited. Miss wanted to embroider the latest pattern on the silk and satin to attract the attention of guests?With attractiveness, naturally there is no need to worry about selling.

Kong Linglong took out the blueprint drawn yesterday from her sleeve, unfolded it to Yu'er, "Look at this."

Yu'er quickly stretched her head over to take a look, and at first sight, she saw that on the blueprint was a very beautiful map of figures, and on the silk and satin, embroidered figures of flowers, birds and landscapes were not uncommon, but Yu'er found that this figure seemed a bit strange.

"Miss, this person..." She pointed to one of them and opened her mouth, "What is this person doing?"

Kong Linglong slowly opened the picture scroll, and now Yu'er saw it, "This is the man who was boating in the West Lake and met a stunning beauty."

This picture of boating on the West Lake and meeting a stunning beauty reminds a maid like Yu'er of a deep boudoir, but she can't help but recall a legendary romantic legend in this dynasty... Yu'er opened her mouth wide, feeling incredible.

Kong Linglong not only dared to think, but also dared to do it. She slowly rolled up the painting scroll again, with a steady expression on her face: "According to this pattern, make a batch first."

Yu'er knew what it meant, and she felt uneasy about this bold and novel idea, but any uneasy thoughts disappeared when they touched Kong Linglong's unshakable face.

If the lady says to do it, then do it.

In this matter, Kong Linglong didn't bother shopkeeper Wu anymore, he just solved the problem of the supply of goods. If this kind of thing comes to him, Kong Linglong is afraid that some moth will appear in the middle.

"Where is the best embroidery shop in this city?" Kong Linglong began to inquire.

Yu'er immediately said: "Your servant will find out when you go out to inquire, Miss, wait a moment." As long as you are a person from the capital, you must know this kind of question.

But Kong Linglong shook her head: "No, that's too big to attract the wind, so you call Fang Yin over first."

Fang Yin can be regarded as a native of the capital, as soon as Yu'er thought about it, she immediately slapped her thigh and called him over.

It's a pity that although Fang Yin is a native of the capital, he has never left the Escort. He is an old man with five seniors and three roughs, let alone silks and satins, which look gaudy to him.

Kong Linglong sighed and could only think of a way.

At this time, Yu'er didn't know why, and said suddenly: "Actually, you can just ask Mr. Suye. He will definitely tell us such a simple question." This is really simple for Suye. For a person like him, The most inferior fabrics seen around will not leave silk and satin, and he will know which embroiderer is good at it.

Kong Linglong got up and walked into the back room. Yu'er touched her nose and followed.

The reason why Fu Ling didn't follow her was to fulfill the promise she made before, and occasionally she would go back and forth to see Dr. Xu and Xiu Niang's body for a few days.

She has always felt that there is no most intractable disease, and sooner or later she will be able to overcome it successfully.

This time, I came out from the back door of Dr. Xu's house. After all, the lady told me that I should try my best to avoid people's eyes and ears. I want people not to find out about my current relationship with Dr. Xu's family.

So when Fu Ling saw that the carriage seemed to be waiting at the back door long ago, her heart skipped a beat.

But then the carriage opened, and Suye smiled lightly at Fu Ling: "Take up a little of your time."

Fu Ling already recognized Su Ye's face, not as familiar as Yu'er's, but at least she won't panic anymore.Her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "What's the matter, young master?"

And still find her a maid at the back door?
Su Ye smiled leisurely, glanced at Dr. Xu's house, and said: "You are treating people in this house."

Interrogative sentences are used, and there is no doubt about it.

Fu Ling was embarrassed, she was a woman's doctor, and she still felt tender when a man blocked her to ask questions like this.

"Young Master, why do you ask this?" This man who often appears next to the eldest lady has a good appearance and good appearance, so he can't be the one who asks such silly questions, right?
Su Ye's harmless eyes glanced across Fu Ling's face, which made her calm down a bit: "You don't need to think too much, I just saw that you often see each other, but it's a pity that you can't do anything about it, so I want to help you."

It was really concise and concise, and without too much politeness, it directly let Fu Ling understand the purpose of her visit.

And when the other party wasn't Kong Linglong, Suye wouldn't have had so many twists and turns.

Sure enough, this kind of straight-forward dialogue is the most trustworthy, Fu Ling's eyes widened: "Master, you know medicine?"

Su Ye nodded slightly: "Come here first, I'll show you something."

Fu Ling stepped forward immediately, a doctor who was branded in his bones, as long as it was related to medical conditions, all miscellaneous thoughts would be put aside for the time being.

Su Ye spread out a small bottle in his hand: "Try this medicine, maybe it will make a difference."

Fu Ling looked at Su Ye suspiciously, and Su Ye motioned to her, she grabbed the medicine unceremoniously, first opened the lid to test the medicine, tasted it, and then she said: "This medicine, Angelica, Atractylodes macrocephala, Sang Jisheng..."

He took a deep breath, wishing he could bury his nose in the medicine bottle.

Su Ye smiled slightly: "These medicines are familiar to you, but the method of dispensing them is also very important, so you didn't get the right way before, but this medicine can help you."

Fu Ling didn't even have time to ask the other party how she could understand so clearly without seeing the patient herself, she only knew that the medicine was really more subtle than what she had seen, and there was no problem she thought of.

She looked at Su Ye with wide eyes: "My lord, are you doing all this... for Miss?"

The words are questions, but the eyes reveal everything.

Su Ye felt at ease, this new girl is also a very good person, for a person who is so proficient in medical theory, he is willing to mention a few things.

Then Su Ye said: "Let's have a discussion. Don't tell your lady about this matter. If this medicine cures the lady inside, it is also a merit. Don't care about whose merit it is."

Holding the medicine, Fuling hesitated fiercely, saying that she should agree, but she was reluctant to return the medicine, and this medicine could help Dr. Xu's family usher in a new life, so she couldn't be selfish.

"Deal." Fuling gritted her teeth for a long time.

In fact, the other party doesn't want to leave a name for doing good deeds, and she doesn't suffer any disadvantages, and Mr. Su Ye seems to be a decent person, so I promise him first.

Su Ye smiled slightly: "Okay, that's the deal."

Then he lowered the curtain of the carriage door, and went away without calling the carriage.Holding the medicine in Fu Ling's arms, she felt closer than holding her own son.

---

Fuling really kept his mouth shut and didn't mention a word, and today in the house, Kong Linglong and Yu'er also set out their pens and inks when they came back, studying the appearance of the new picture, without paying attention to Fuling's side.

So both sides are busy in their own way, very harmonious.

Later, Kong Linglong chose the second best, and suddenly thought that using the more famous embroiderers in the capital would be like setting up another banner for the silk and satin factory, so it is better to use some experienced embroiderers with average reputation, because since she can provide For a complete detailed pattern, the other party only needs to embroider according to it, and it doesn't need much advanced craftsmanship.

So according to Kong Linglong's idea, she immediately inquired from the housekeeper's matchmaker that if she wanted to make two clothes that would suit her, she could have a recommendation from a safe embroiderer.

The matchmaker immediately fulfilled her original promise, and enthusiastically introduced Kong Linglong to the Dongxiangkou family, which was very close to the house. I heard that it was an old embroidery worker who had retired from the palace.

Kong Linglong was also impressed by the wide network of the matchmaker. She first took a picture of a boat on the West Lake, and asked the old embroidery worker to try to make one. He was a brilliant embroidery worker in the palace.

"Unless those guests are blind." Yu'er put her eyes on the cloth fondly, "This piece of satin will definitely become popular in the capital."

Both Kong Linglong and Yu'er felt that they had found a treasure, and they immediately paid a large sum of money without hesitation, and brought back a few bolts of satin made by the old embroiderer to the silk and satin shop.

Kong Linglong had to admit that her previous idea was wrong. The old embroidery worker's superb embroidery skills added a bit of color to the brocade. Although she herself gave the picture, but when it comes to embroidery, she really is A layman.But the old embroiderer didn't say anything, and took the initiative to help her remove the coarseness and save the essence. The most important thing is to fit the characteristics of the ancient satin, modifying several details, and the effect is several levels higher than Kong Linglong's before. .If Kong Linglong's previous ideas were followed, the effect would be good, but it would ruin the original characteristics of the ancient satin and reduce it to a cloth that only focused on the surface and prosperity.

For the first time, Kong Linglong was a little embarrassed by her self-confidence.

Really, there is a specialization in the art industry, and she will never be better than a professional.

Hearing that Kong Linglong was satisfied with the embroidery worker she recommended, the matchmaker was extremely happy, and immediately notified Fengyan Xiaozhu about Kong Linglong's search for an embroidery worker.

After Suye heard about it, she couldn't help but think of how she met Kong Linglong that day, how she persevered to the end, and what happened to the two of them, and couldn't help but smile.

Luo Congrong ordered the matchmaker to be rewarded heavily, so that she would pay more attention to Kong Linglong's affairs in the future.

At the gate of the silk and satin village, Fu Ling and Yu'er took a day off to stand at the gate of the silk and satin village with cloth in their hands to attract customers.

This street was already bustling with people coming and going. Many people saw two pretty girls standing there today in the half-dead silk and satin factory, and some of them looked over curiously.

The more people looked at it, the less timid the two girls were. With their heads held high, Fu Ling spun the cloth around and wrapped it around her arms.

Originally, when she was spinning, someone could see the pattern on it with sharp eyes, but now that the Poria cocos is wrapped around her arm, the exposed section is even more different, novel and exquisite.

Then there was a female customer who had been observing by the side of the road, and she stepped forward to look curiously. She couldn't move her eyes from this look, and waved to the women behind her, "Hey, come and see!"

The female customers were also curious, and immediately leaned over. When they saw the antique satin and the patterns on it, they all showed extremely interested expressions!

"Girl, can you unfold it all so we can see clearly?" Someone said politely.

Fu Ling and Yu'er looked at each other, they shook out the cloth in their hands at the same time, and faced the crowd.

Seeing that more and more people gathered around to watch, many of them were out of curiosity and couldn't take their eyes off after just one glance, just like the few women who came here just now.

Most of the people who look at the fabrics are women, and women are easily attracted by these tricks. At a glance, they forget that this is the silk and satin factory that they collectively spurned and decided never to come back a few months ago.

The woman who came earlier finally couldn't help it: "Girl, are you selling this satin?"

Yu'er raised her eyebrows, and Fu Ling next to her said confidently: "Of course, we are open for business, so there is no reason not to sell things."

The woman's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously asked, "How do you sell one horse? How many do you have? Do you have more pictures?"

Fuling and Yu'er looked at each other, and said leisurely: "If Madam wants to buy it, please go inside and discuss it with our Young Master."

Later, someone said: "Did you make this pattern yourself? My family is willing to pay to buy it out, and you can set the price."

Another rich and powerful, but in the wrong place.Yu'er smiled, and she didn't want to offend anyone: "Everyone who needs it, please go inside and have an interview with our young master."

So someone couldn't wait to go into the shop, where two guys were assigned to be responsible for the reception, the guests who came would be invited to the private room first, served a cup of tea, and had a private conversation with Kong Linglong.

Wait for the person in front to come out, and then the people in the queue behind can go in.

The woman was surrounded by two women around her, and she discussed with Yu'er in a good voice whether she could go in first.

Because she was the one who came first, and Yu'er sized her up, and she could see that this woman's identity must not be simple, she might be the mistress of some government office.

She happily led the woman into the private room, where Kong Linglong was sitting.

Under Kong Linglong's order, all the tea in the private room was replaced with the most expensive red plum tea in the capital yesterday, which is the favorite drink of the ladies in the capital.

As soon as she entered the elegant room, the woman smelled the strong fragrance of plums.

I didn't expect that this small silk and satin village would treat guests with such precious things, and with such a strong taste, it should have been cooked for at least a day and a night.

Kong Linglong smiled at the woman: "Guests, please sit down."

The woman only felt the ironing from top to bottom, and quickly helped the hand of the person next to her to sit down across the table.

Kong Linglong gave the tea herself, "Madam, do you like the appearance of flowers outside?"

The politeness of this question was not abrupt. After all, there were many people waiting outside, so Kong Linglong was the only one who could be so natural.

The woman said what was in her heart: "I like it, I like it so much."

Kong Linglong smiled slightly, and looked at the woman: "Madam has an orchid-like temperament, which is suitable for antique satin with elegant colors, and the patterns don't need to be complicated, so that it can cover up Madam's demeanor."

Such a good talker, the woman will think that the woman in front of her has inquired about everything in advance and deliberately came to please her.But she quickly suppressed this thought. This girl's attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, obviously not comparable to ordinary people.

The woman smiled softly: "To tell you the truth, the patterns of the store are very different, I really want to cut a few pieces."

This is a customer who is attracted by the pattern, without too many ideas, just impressed by the embroidery and patterns.

Kong Linglong then also said: "The business of the small shop was not good before, and the stock was not much, but I still have the two clothes that Madam wants. Madam is the first customer today, if the fabric is brought back to my heart, please do it for me. Store promotion one or two."

The woman was a little surprised. She bluntly said that the business of the store was in a downturn. When she was wandering in this street before, she had already discovered this dilapidated silk and satin shop. Yixin, the girl in charge of the operation also has a temper that suits her taste.

The woman somewhat understands why this silk and satin shop can make a comeback.
