Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 241 Super Supermodel
Shi Yuandao is not tall, with a thin body, wearing a dark red gold silk satin cap with melon skin, a dark blue jacquard brocade robe, and a satin sheepskin short jacket of the same color as the hat, all of which are half-worn. Two eyebrows that are not thick but not short at all, especially the last few at the end of the eyebrows, are simply outrageous. Yuan Bao remembers that such eyebrows are called "shoumei". It is said that people with such eyebrows have an extremely long life span .

Under his eyebrows are a pair of narrow and long eyes, the eyes are very agile and energetic, looking back and forth around Ni Yuze and Yuan Bao, even the things carried by the servant behind them, the brilliance flickered between the eyes.

The bridge of his nose is a bit slumped, and the nostrils are hidden inside. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it. There are three sparse goatee on the upper lip and lower jaw, high cheekbones, and slumped cheeks... Yuan Bao thinks that Shi Yuandao looks better than she used to Anyone who came here was more like a shopkeeper or an accountant, and his calculations were even tinged with wretchedness.

This is... Zhuangyuan Lang?A court official of the third rank?
The "superior" image that Yuan Bao had just established in his heart suddenly collapsed and turned into a pit.

Ni Yuze saluted deeply, "I have met you, sir, I wish you a happy new year!" Yuan Bao had no choice but to follow behind.

"Hahaha..." Shi Yuandao was overjoyed, and raised his hand to pat Ni Yuze's shoulder heavily, "I knew you would be fine, as the saying goes, the disaster will last a thousand years!"

Yuan Bao's head was full of black lines, and he staggered on the spot. Do all learned people praise others like this? !
Ni Yuze was not surprised, and neatly dodged Shi Yuandao's patted hand, and sat down on the guest seat without being moved, and asked someone to present a gift.

However, at this very moment, Yuan Bao saw clearly the thick calluses on Shi Yuandao's hand formed by holding the pen for many years, as well as the slightly deformed fingers due to the same reason, and there was no reason to doubt his identity as a scholar.

Shi Yuandao had already unwrapped the gifts face to face, not only without a trace of restraint, but also made no effort to hide his joy brought by the expensive gifts. After reading it, he directly asked, "You have something to ask me." declarative sentence.

Ni Yuze nodded, "Yes," and then gestured to Yuan Bao. After Yuan Bao hesitated for a while, he still articulated his intentions, and briefly introduced her relationship with the Su family.

Shi Yuandao took a look at Yuan Bao, and didn't ask Yuan Bao's identity, but talked about his request, "500 taels of silver for repairing patterns every year, food, accommodation, clothes, servants, carriage, travel expenses, etc. must meet my satisfaction, and also Yes, I will take my two concubines with me, and their daily needs will also be taken care of by the master."

It's really expensive. I remember that Li Nan's Shu Xiu's ten taels of silver per month was sky-high, not including the various benefits that Shi Yuandao mentioned just now that are definitely not lower than Shu Xiu. Even Yuan Bao is not short of money now. I am still staggered by the price, and feel like I have been hacked.

Ni Yuze remained calm, stretched out his hand, and someone handed over a silver ticket of 5000 taels.

After Shi Yuandao looked at it, he accepted it with a smile on his face, and then said, "Even so, if I am not satisfied with those three students, I will not teach."

Yuan Bao wanted to punch Shi Yuandao's sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked face very much. Shouldn't such words be said before collecting the money? Could it be that a person like Ni Yuze could come to ask for money in person after Shi Yuandao came back from Sujia Village? ? !This guy obviously did it on purpose!
"Okay." Ni Yuze responded indifferently, Yuan Bao held back his anger, and at least gave a mild and polite smile, "I don't know, can I see the two aunts?" The future of the child is a big issue, Yuan Bao will never allow the Su family brothers to be spoiled like this!
Shi Yuandao accepted it readily, and cast admiring glances at Yuan Bao's back when he got up and left, "You can be so calm and magnanimous at such a young age, cautious and farsighted, yes, very good." Although the eyes still showed shrewdness, that kind of wretchedness The air is almost gone.

Ni Yuze still only said "hmm", but the expression on his face softened obviously, and he was no longer so stiff. Shi Yuandao gave him a glance, but quickly put it away, and asked Ni Yuze to have some refreshments. See Ni Yuze Without moving, he said with a little regret, "I think you might not like the tea here."

Ni Yuze asked to go to the car to get two cans of good tea, and Shi Yuandao laughed even more happily.

Yuan Bao heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw Shi Yuandao's only two concubines in the inner courtyard.

Of these two women, the younger one is in her thirties and should be older than Liu Guirong, and the older one is probably over forty years old, but she is well maintained and looks good, so look They look younger than Liu Guirong.

In addition, their eyes are clear, their manners are measured, their attitudes are gentle, their manners are considerate, and their temperament is far superior to those so-called genuine wives that Yuan Bao saw in the Yu Mansion. Even compared with the second and third wives of the Ni family, they are more A simple and bookish look, less slick hypocrisy and calculating affectation.

Yuan Bao was quite satisfied with the age and charm of these two people. Later, when he wrote a letter, he specifically told Su Chunsheng to ask the female family members of the Su family to get in touch with them more.

Yuan Bao gave the other party two hand-embroidered purses, said a few more polite words, and then came forward.

When he looked at Shi Yuandao again, there was more eagerness and respect from the heart in his eyes.

Yuan Bao remembered that she had read such words in a magazine in her previous life, "The woman next to a man is his mirror, which can reflect his heart." Yuan Bao deeply believed in this.

Shi Yuandao has such a concubine, one can imagine what kind of demeanor his first wife is. This shows the cultural background of Shi Yuandao, and after so many years of dormancy, the women around Shi Yuandao can still live in poverty, Shi Yuandao never left them, and the character of this family would not be any worse.

Seeing Yuan Bao came back, Ni Yuze stood up and said goodbye. Yuan Bao saluted Shi Yuandao very solemnly, "There will be Mr. Lao in the future!" She was very confident that the Su brothers would never let Shi Yuandao down. It's done.

Shi Yuandao nodded with a smile, "It's easy to say, easy to say, since I agreed, I should try my best." The expression was also serious, which made Yuan Bao feel relieved.

After getting into the carriage, Yuan Bao slumped on the spacious couch without any image, "Oh my God, it's really a challenge," smiled teasingly at Ni Yuze, "It turns out that when you were tolerant, you actually endured such a challenge." for many years!"

Ni Yuze snorted coldly, "If you make a promise, how can you go back on it?!" Even if it was just a reluctant promise to his father in his heart.

Yuan Bao nodded, this is indeed a great advantage of Ni Yuze.

But Ni Yuze said in his heart, Su Chunsheng, I wish you success in your studies and a smooth official career from now on. It's best to be dazzled by the bustling world and forget the little bit of vague love you had with Yuan Bao when you were young.

A few days later, Ni Yuze sent someone to bring dozens of sets of newly made Four Seasons clothes to the three members of the Shi family, as well as some jewelry.

On the first day of February, Shi Yuandao set off from Fucheng, and after wandering around for about a month, he arrived at Sujia Village. Ni Yuze sent people to escort him all the way and pay the bill. After leaving Shi Yuandao, Su Chunsheng arranged another servant for Shi Yuandao, and Ni Yuze didn't force him to stay.

In mid-March, Su Chunsheng sent a letter to report Yuan Bao and his three brothers' recent academic progress. The lines were full of admiration for Shi Yuandao, which made Yuan Bao sigh that the money was finally worth it!

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yuan Baochen woke up from her sleep, and she couldn't help wondering, she still remembered the ferocious sound of firecrackers welcoming the God of Wealth during the Chinese New Year at Ni's house in Qing'an, why there were only two or three kittens in Ni's house Woolen cloth?And it was so late.

Yuan Bao asked Ni Yuze, and Ni Yuze said, "There has never been such a custom in Ni's residence."

Yuan Bao was stunned. Actually, this Ni Mansion is not a merchant house at all, and the customs of the New Year are naturally different, but considering that the Ni Mansion is merciless in all kinds of benefits brought to the wealth of the Yu family, it really wants to be Then Han wants to set up an archway again, and can't help but feel even more disgusted with the hypocrisy of the Ni Mansion.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the shops opened for business. Ni Yuze took Yuanbao to the general account room to start a director. At the same time, Yuanbao's newly decorated studio was officially put into use, announcing the complete end of their annual leave, which they hardly had.

Twenty embroiderers, to be precise, should be tailors, became the first batch of designers trained by Yuan Bao with excitement and curiosity.

"Why do people wear clothes? At first it was to cover up their shame, keep warm and protect their skin, but now, it's not just that. Clothing can express a person's preferences, mood, or reflect his inner and spiritual world. Designers are We need to use cloth as ink, ingenious ideas as brushes, and turn clothes into our paintings..." Yuan Bao talked eloquently, causing waves of waves in everyone's hearts. "...There is no ugly body, only stupid people who don't know how to dress up. Any body defect can be effectively modified and made up for by clothing. The degree depends entirely on the designer's personal ability..."

Even though he had read Yuanbao's training plan in advance and even modified it himself, Ni Yuze still felt extremely excited. He really didn't understand how the little Yuanbao came up with such a whimsical idea. Incomparable, looking at the surprised faces around him, he firmly believed that Yuan Bao's success was just around the corner.

Ni Yuze listened to it for a while, then resisted Lianlian and got up to leave. He still had a lot of things to deal with, and he had to go to work. As for the rest of the people, they were already attracted by Yuanbao, and I am afraid they would not be able to drive them away. I should have forgotten that they were originally forced to come here by Ni Yuze.

In this cubicle, there are all men sitting in the same color. Through the glazed window and the wide open door, they attend the training with the embroiderers. They are the big shopkeepers, second shopkeepers, and account managers of some embroidery and silk shops in the surrounding area. Wait, most of them are firmly opposed to opening a shop that only makes ready-made clothes. Ni Yuze didn't persuade them much, but just let them come. Judging from their current reactions, after Yuanbao's training is finished, It is estimated that there are almost no people who oppose it.

Sure enough, starting from the next day, without Ni Yuze's further organization, these people would take the initiative to come, and it was a pity that they couldn't come due to busy business, and asked people to record the training content of Yuanbao in detail, and regarded it as a treasure, and waited until the later stage , They even took the initiative to participate in the heated discussions on various ideas and styles.

In the middle of the training, Yuan Bao used live models. Fortunately, there are almost no male tailors in this era. Uncles from here.

But the facts have proved that Yuan Bao really underestimated women's desire for beauty. Among the subordinates, the defense of men and women is not so strict. In addition, the people who discuss their figures are not ordinary people, but ordinary wealthy families It is an unattainable dream for maids in the past to accept the dressing guidance of these people who have to hire high-level professionals with a lot of money!

Soon, the models abandoned their little restlessness and shyness, and some bold ones even took the initiative to go outside the screen that only covered their cheeks, so that Yuan Bao's training rose from simply making up for defects to showing a person's overall temperament A new height, the process is extremely smooth.

At the end of the training, Ni Yuze's first batch of unsalable silks and satins arrived. Yuanbao used this limited variety to show her incomparable design talent. Each piece of exquisite clothes was born on the wooden man who was used as a model. Brainstorming and refinement, plate making, and prototypes were formed with incredible speed.

During this process, Yuan Bao showed everyone a new brainstorm: the improvement of clothing decoration.

Stand collar, high and low collar, trim, beads, gold and silver flakes, fluff, lace and tassels, corsages, ribbons and mix and match, splicing and superimposition of fabrics, as well as flexible use of buttons and changeable shapes...

The embroiderers stared straight ahead, never knowing that besides embroidery, there are so many decorative methods, and the clothes can be made so beautiful, while the shopkeepers were very excited, as if they saw the money coming in - such decoration can Let clothing be produced in large quantities quickly, and it can seize the market of a city within a few days!

And this is Yuan Bao's original purpose. She wants to consume a large amount of inventory for Ni Yuze in a short period of time, and make her clothing brand a hit.

The ten-day first training session ended soon, and the shopkeepers left full of enthusiasm, looking forward to the day when the new product would be launched. All twenty embroiderers took the initiative to stay, and enthusiastically recommended others, Yuan Bao The team of designers has never been so strong.

Of course, in the future, she will have to go through layers of selection to extract the essence, but this beginning still makes her extremely excited. After all, a single tree does not make a forest. Creativity is not unlimited for anyone, and there are more and more. A good designer is the guarantee for the invincibility of a large enterprise.

On the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yuan Bao was pulled out of the studio by Ni Yuze and went out to watch the lanterns. Ni Yuze has now discovered that if this Yuan Bao is busy, he will be more devoted than him. If he hadn’t looked at it every day, Yuan Bao would have Don't eat or sleep on time, even his reminders don't work.

Later, Ni Yuze had to resort to extraordinary measures. If Yuanbao didn't eat, he wouldn't eat it, and if Yuanbao didn't sleep, he would stay up, so he made Yuanbao behave.Ni Yuze has a serious stomach problem, which was caused by starvation last year and the year before last. After careful maintenance, he is recovering. He is not afraid of anything but irregular diet. How dare Yuan Bao compete with him!
In fact, Ni Yuze also made a huge concession. In exchange, Ni Yuze can now accept four "quiet" massages in addition to asking Dr. Zhao to give him acupuncture. unlined garment.

Now that Yuan Bao is by Ni Yuze's side, she no longer has any duties of serving, and she has completely shed her identity as a maid.

"The first batch of five ready-to-wear shops in Fucheng have already been booked, and they are decorating and decorating according to what you said. It is estimated that they will be able to open in a few days. I think you have a lot of appearances now. "There are already [-] or [-] styles. It is quite rare for a clothing store to launch so many styles at one time. "Have you thought about the name of the store? I'm going to hire someone to make a plaque."

"It's really fast!" Yuan Bao sighed, but she had seen Ni Yuze's energy a lot, and she couldn't be too surprised, so she said casually, "Our Ni family's clothing store, I think it's called 'Neon Clothes'." .”

The words "our Ni family" made Ni Yuze feel particularly pleasant, and immediately responded with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

Nishang has independent accounting, Ni Yuze is responsible for investment, personnel and management, and Yuanbao only provides technology. Among the overall profits, Ni Yuze accounts for seven Yuanbao and three, plus the income from the bookkeeping method, the profit Yuanbao can actually get from Nishang is Thirty and a half.Yuan Bao took 30.00% of his [-]% five income as a rake reward to the designers of each new style.The better the sales, the more you get.

Nishang takes the route of high-end products. The cheapest piece of clothing is priced at more than 50 taels, and the expensive ones can reach thousands of taels. Because of the exquisite design and high added value, the gross profit reaches 50.00%, and the net profit reaches 30.00%. The above is not a problem at all. Calculated in this way, as long as a designer has one or two popular styles, it is possible to earn more than [-] taels of silver per month. It is really amazing. No one has realized this in the short term. Because all the new models are designed by Yuan Bao alone, but after a while, they will figure it out, and by then, there will be many people eager to become a designer.

In contrast, the 30.00% price left by Yuanbao is a sky-high price that was unimaginable in the past, but Yuanbao did not refuse. She believes that her creativity is worth the price.

Ni Yuze hired the first floor of a famous restaurant in Fucheng, and accompanied Yuan Bao to watch the lights, but Yuan Bao didn't look at the lights at all, but people. After watching the women, they also looked at the men. It was a careful look, even though Ni Yuze knew Yuan Bao's It was an occupational disease, and what she looked at was not people, but people's clothes, but she still felt very uncomfortable.
