Chapter 42 Outlandish Ideas“What? Fashion show?”
“What is this?”
“I don"t know. I"ve never heard of it!”
“Just look at it.”
At once, the curiosity of the crowd was turned to the extreme!
At this point, some girls dressed in exotic clothes and lined up. They walked to the stage orderly and slowly.
These were all things that Yang Zijin let these girls practice in advance.
In detail, it seemed that each girl was wearing different clothes. The clothes were colorful, and some of them were sweet, s.e.xy and cool, or elegant and n.o.ble. It showed body lines perfectly and extremely beautiful!
Everyone was amazed by this! Even the man who stood on the side stared at these girls without blinking eyes. At that moment, the group was quiet.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Yang Zijin had predicted it.
“This is the new style in our shop. You can go to the shop to make reservations, and the style will be updated later. I hope you will support us.” Yang Zijin broke the silence.
The crowd came to their senses gradually. A woman whispered, “I don"t think these dresses are made of ordinary fabric. Will the price be high?”
“Of course, these are made of silk, each selling for ten taels of silver!” Yang Zijin replied.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Zijin heard a sigh under the stage. The expression of the woman who stood in front of her also eclipsed.
Right. Ten taels of silver were enough for a family to spend a year. How could they have so much silver to buy a dress?
Seeing this, Yang Zijin added, “Don"t worry. As I said earlier, we will accept reservations next. You can pick fabric and style by yourself and measure the size, so the price of the clothes can be determined according to your situation.”
Hearing this, the girls had hope, and their eyes glowed again.
While someone still asked uncertainly, “Is it true as you said?”
Yang Zijin nodded with a smile.
After receiving the exact answer, the girls became excited…
“Young Master, where could I book this? I would make reservation right now.”
“And me, and me…”
“Everyone be quiet first. Don"t mess around and listen to me first.” Looking at the excited girls, Yang Zijin exclaimed.
Seeing that everyone calm down, Yang Zijin continued, “Everyone line up to go in. First, measure the size. Second, choose the fabric and style. Third, tell the size, fabric, and style to the person sitting at the door on the left to register. Then pay the deposit to the person sitting on the right. Finally, find me for the gift.”
Upon understanding, these women all went to the queue.
Yang Zijin arranged for Sister Liu and other tailors to measure the size. The girls on the stage just now were responsible for the fabric. Wufu and Lu"an were responsible for registration. Xian received the deposit. All of these were arranged temporarily. After everything was on track, she decided to recruit more people.
Since Yang Zijin had not yet recovered her ident.i.ty from being a girl, she arranged a tailor to help girls to try on their gifts in a small cubicle after they were receiving the gifts.
Only to see that every woman who went to try on, their cheeks were slightly blushed when they came out of the room and looked at Yang Zijin.
Of course, Yang Zijin knew the reason!
Yang Zijin thought that as long as these women could wear these bras and felt comfortable. She would not worry about future business. As for how to let the official ladies and girls know, it was easier. When these reserved gowns were made, and many people in the Imperial City wore them, she didn"t believe those ladies and girls could still sit.
According to today"s situation, it was very successful in capturing the hearts of women.
It was until very late that everyone counted out the style, color, and size of these people who had reserved. And they stopped to rest.
After looking at the number of people who had booked dresses today, it was more considerable than Yang Zijin had expected. And she summoned Xian.
“Master, what is it?” Xian answered.
Yang Zijin ordered, “Tomorrow, go to the Jinxiu Villa to purchase the required cloth, and then buy some cotton.”
Xian nodded.
“And find some tailors.” Yang Zijin added.
Then she summoned Sister Liu, “Sister Liu, the number of gowns ordered this time is too large. It will definitely not work with you guys. As you heard just now, I will recruit some tailors, and then you will be in charge of them.”
“Manage… manage them? Master, it is OK to let me do the dress. But you let me manage them. I"m afraid that I will mess up your business.” Sister Liu was flattered.
Yang Zijin smiled and said to Sister Liu, “Sister Liu, don"t refuse me. You are capable of this.”
Sister Liu thought for a moment and nodded.
Everything was arranged, so Yang Zijin went back to the mansion of Marquis.
…
Since the study incident, Shuo Ling didn"t know whether he was in love with Yang Zijin or not. This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
He had been deliberately avoiding Yang Zijin these days. Even if he didn"t meet her, he still would think of Yang Zijin uncontrollably. He would even unknowingly come to the place where they had spent time together.
Before he met Yang Zijin, with his temper, if there were a woman like what she did that day, he would have killed her!
However, he would still let Zhou Ji covertly protect her and report Yang Zijin"s movements to him every day.
He knew that Yang Zijin had opened a new shop in the downtown area and had a good business. According to the description of Zhou Ji, Shuo Ling appreciated to Yang Zijin"s way of doing business. He thought that she really had a lot of strange ideas in her head.
Thinking about this, he raised his mouth unconsciously.
Mo Li was also puzzled by the reaction of Marquis these days. Since that day, when the Marquis came out of the study, he had been like this. The first time Mo Li found out that the Marquis was alienated from Yang Zijin, and he was still secretly happy. He thought that the Marquis was not what the outside world said about a gay. But now from the behavior of the Marquis, Mo Li found out that this was not the case. Was it…
Qiao Shu promised to give porridge at the city gate for one month, which was about to end. She would often take time to return to the mansion of Marquis. She felt the pulse and decocted the medicine for Yang Zijin so that the chronic poison could penetrate her bone marrow deeply. And even if someone would find it later, the immortal also couldn"t save her.
However, Qiao Shu found that every time she brought the medicine to Yang Zijin, and she would accidentally spill it, or she wouldn"t drink it now. Yang Zijin would always find a reason to let her go.
Qiao Shu was puzzled. Could it be that Yang Zijin had found something wrong with the medicine? If so, then why did Yang Zijin always greet her with a smile? She didn"t see any signs of suspicion from Yang Zijin. Perhaps she just overthought…
But Qiao Shu didn"t know that Uncle Liu had already configured the antidote, and the poison in Yang Zijin"s body had been completely removed.
Qiao Shu noticed Shuo Ling"s estrangement from Yang Zijin and his recent changes.
But she didn"t know how to ask. Thinking for a moment, she thought that it would be the memorial day for Shuo Ling"s mother in a few days. So, she decided to find Shuo Ling and planned to go with him to Qijing Temple on the day of the funeral. Also, she could accompany Shuo Ling to relax.
In the study.
Shuo Ling held the dossier in the left hand, leaning back in the chair and frowned sometimes. It looked like a perfect beautiful painting. Anyone who saw it wouldn"t want to move his eyes…
Apparently, Qiao Shu was also attracted by this.
“Why do you come here?” Shuo Ling didn"t even raise his head.
Qiao Shu snapped out of it and said, “Shuo Ling, it"s your mother"s memorial day in a few days. I want to offer incense to her.”
Shuo Ling didn"t respond to her for a long time. Qiao Shu looked at Shuo Ling from the corner of her eyes and was about to ask again…
Shuo Ling replied, “OK.”
Hearing Shuo Ling agreed, Qiao Shu concealed her inner excitement and smiled, “Then I"ll prepare what we need right away.”
“Don"t bother, Qiao Shu.” Shuo Ling said in a cold voice.
Qiao Shu, who was still excited just now, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her heart. She couldn"t help thinking why Shuo Ling treated her like this? Did Shuo Ling still care about Yang Zijin?
Thinking of this, Qiao Shu lost the smile on her face and said, “Then, if there was no other thing, I"ll go and check the pulse of Master Yang.”
Hearing Qiao Shu mentioned Yang Zijin, Shuo Ling felt tight in his heart. His eyebrows couldn"t help frowning, but it disappeared in a flash. He nodded to Qiao Shu as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Shu went out. The moment she turned around, her face was filled with jealousy. When she mentioned Yang Zijin just now, she clearly saw the worry on Shuo Ling"s face.
Then why did he alienate Yang Zijin? Was there something wrong between them? It seemed that she had to plan something when they went to Qijing Temple…
On the day of the memorial, Qiao Shu took the prepared cakes and dressed in plain clothes. She followed Shuo Ling to the street. She heard someone whispering…
“Look, I"m telling you. How could Marquis Shuo love men!”
“Look at this young lady following beside him. She is wonderful.”
“If she became the wife of Marquis Shuo, it would be a perfect match!”
Hearing the people talk like that, Qiao Shu couldn"t help but raise a blush on her face.
Mo Li followed behind Shuo Ling. He turned to look at the crowd who were discussing, with chilling eyes. The crowd looked at his eyes and shut their mouths…
Suddenly, a handsome young man jumped out of the crowd and stood in front of Shuo Ling.
Everyone pinched their sweat for the young man. He dared to do this in front of Marquis Shuo. It was estimated that he was not far from death.
“Where are you going, Marquis Shuo? And take me with you!” This man said with an oily smile.
Shuo Ling didn"t say anything. Only to see the young man said again, “Where to go? Please take me with you, Marquis Shuo. It"s bored me to death these days!”
“Your Highness, your confinement has just ended. Why do you not stay at the palace but sneak out? Are you not afraid of being discovered?” Shuo Ling whispered in Chushi Weiyang"s ear.
Chushi Weiyang shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference, “Anyway, I"m used to being punished. Will I still care about this one?”
“I"m going to Qijing Temple. Will you come with me?” Hearing this, Shuo Ling said.
Chushi Weiyang had a reluctant look on his face, “Since Marquis Shuo has spoken, and then I will accompany you!”
Shuo Ling continued to go forward. He no longer paid attention to Chushi Weiyang. Seeing this, Chushi Weiyang hurriedly followed him. He laughed and talked about something with Shuo Ling, but Shuo Ling ignored him…
This man was the sixth prince, named Chushi Weiyang, and had a lively nature. He was only 16 years old with a handsome face, a tall nose, thin lips, and attractive eyes, which made people couldn"t help but look a few more.
His mother was selected to the palace, and her status was low. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was lucky enough to be chosen by the Emperor. The Emperor was also very fond of his mother, so she had been conferred the t.i.tle of Consort Liu. But his mother died when she gave birth, so the Emperor blamed the death on Chushi Weiyang, who had been unloved since his childhood.
