【Quick Wear】I always go to the wrong plot

"Isn't this the way back home, Miss? What else are we going to do?"

Zhao Xi looked at the scenery outside the car and asked puzzledly.

Jiang Shuliu closed his eyes and did not answer her.

Zhao Xi curled her lips, Jiang Shuliu opened his eyes and said as expected: "Don't scold me in your heart."

Zhao Xi: “…”

The car stopped in front of a dress shop with a white roof and red walls. The sign had artistic English words in cursive script. Only then did Zhao Xi realize that Jiang Shuliu had brought her here to buy clothes.

There's no need to be so stubborn, Zhao Xi's mouth twitched.

Jiang Shuliu had already pushed the door open and walked in, so Zhao Xi could only follow him.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Xi was attracted by the huge movie poster in front of him.

She was a beautiful woman whose beauty could not be concealed even by black and white. Different from Jiang Shuliu's reserved and cold appearance, the woman on the poster was like a delicate and blooming peony, with thin curved eyebrows, diamond-shaped earrings hanging down, upturned red lips, slightly exposed white teeth, holding a bouquet of flowers, and smiling brightly and charmingly.

Below the poster is a traditional Chinese introduction, which seems to be about a movie: Butterfly Dance.

The leading actress is this woman, her name is Hu Wu.

During the Republic of China period, society was in turmoil, the old was replaced by the new, thoughts were surging, and the status of women gradually changed.

After the 20s, the country's film industry experienced its first rapid development, and many film companies were established one after another.

In terms of screen appeal, female stars are more attractive to audiences than male stars and have more commercial selling points. In addition, the women's liberation movement and Western aesthetics influenced the film industry during the Republic of China period. The special era shaped special film women.

Maybe they will be obstructed and scolded, but it is undeniable that history has left their names.

And this one who can display it so conspicuously must be the best.

"Are you here to look at the clothes?" A woman who seemed to be the boss came out to greet him. Seeing Zhao Xi staring at the poster, she smiled and said, "Do you like Hu Wu too? We have the same clothes as those in her latest movie in our store. Would you like to try them on?"

"Take them all out." Jiang Shuliu's voice came faintly. The boss looked over, and a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes. She quickly said, "Okay."

Zhao Xi felt like she had become Jiang Shuliu's cross-dressing doll.

When trying on the third set of clothes, when Jiang Shuliu said to pack them up again, Zhao Xi grabbed Jiang Shuliu's wrist and said solemnly: "Miss, if you buy more, I won't be able to wear them all."

Zhao Xi added: "Besides, these clothes are too expensive. I can't wear them when I'm working. It would be a pity if they can only be kept at the bottom of the box."

Jiang Shuliu: "Who ordered you to do this?"

The last line of her voice rose, as if to say who dared to order me around.

Zhao Xi said helplessly: "It's just some ordinary chores, sweeping the floor, serving tea and so on, and I also have to make medicine for the young lady."

Zhao Xi was not opposed to doing these things. Since she was close to the eldest lady, no one dared to order her around easily. And the eldest lady who ordered her around was not one who liked to make trouble for others. If Zhao Xi did not work, she would be really idle.

She didn't have a cell phone here, and Zhao Xi was afraid that she would be bored to death if she didn't find something to do.

Jiang Shuliu: "The last one."

Zhao Xi had no choice but to take the clothes and go back into the fitting room.

"Miss." Zhao Xi's pitiful face appeared from the door of the fitting room: "Can you help me zip up the back of my clothes?"

Clothing was fashionable during the Republic of China period. In addition to cheongsams, new women's dresses included slim long skirts, puffy skirts, etc.

Zhao Xi's dress is a typical one-shoulder white and pink long dress, which can clearly reveal her collarbone. It is beautiful, but a bit troublesome.

"What?" Jiang Shuliu's expression was blank for a while.

Zhao Xi said with a bitter face: "The zipper of this dress is on the back, I can't zip it up."

Jiang Shuliu was originally sitting on the sofa. The boss was waiting for this big customer, but he was a little curious about the couple in front of him.

From listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were master and servant, but they obviously had a good relationship. The younger girl did not speak with the usual fear and trepidation, and they got along like sisters.

As soon as the young girl finished speaking, the young lady stood up quickly. The boss was sighing in his heart that they had a very good relationship, and then he saw the young lady slapping the young girl hard!

Lady boss: “?”

"It hurts so much!" Zhao Xi cried, feeling that the eldest lady was no longer attacking her verbally, but with actions.

"Stupid thing," Jiang Shuliu scolded, "In broad daylight, is this something you can say?"

Zhao Xi is innocent. Did she say anything immoral? !

"Come and help her pull it." Jiang Shuliu turned his head and said to the proprietress.

Zhao Xi also saw the red tips of Jiang Shuliu's ears.

Zhao Xi blinked: Miss, you are not shy...

As a result, Jiang Shuliu turned his head, glared at her again, then turned around and sat back.

Well, it was probably too hot.

"Oh, this lady is really beautiful."

Looking at Zhao Xi coming out, the proprietress couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, when the two of them walked in, the proprietress thought they were a pair of good friends shopping.

After all, which girl looks as precious as a young lady? Especially with a face so tender that you can pinch water out of it, and moist almond eyes, she looks even more noble after wearing a dress.

It's not surprising that the proprietress has such an idea. After all, Zhao Xi is not the ill-fated Xichun who was really born in this era. Noble temperament must be cultivated among gold, silver, jewelry, flowers and praise.

Zhao Xi had no idea how many times he had owned these things.

The clothes were bought, but as Zhao Xi had expected, they were put at the bottom of the closet.

But what can she do? Who else can she favor if not the willful eldest daughter?

The days that followed passed normally, with the only disturbance being the visit from Ji Xingyu, the eldest son of the Ji family.

The other party was obviously here to apologize. He brought three large red boxes with him and was very humble.

Ji Xingyu's self-control was not as good as his brother's, and his face was very stiff, but he must have been taught a lesson, and he honestly apologized to Jiang Shuliu.

Zhao Xi was still wondering before, since there are benefits to the marriage between the Ji family and the Jiang family, then it doesn’t make sense that the Jiang family won’t benefit from it.

It’s not true love. With Jiang Shuliu’s overbearing personality, it’s good enough that he doesn’t tear the Ji family apart and devour them.

Sure enough, after this apology, Zhao Xi knew the benefits that the Jiang family had gained.

route.

The sea is unfathomable and the dangers it contains are beyond human control. To engage in maritime trade, a safe route map is essential.

It can tell of safe routes, peaceful ports, passages in and out.

The Ji family knew that there were not many charted routes, and they were all discovered through the painstaking efforts of their ancestors, which led to the creation of today's shipping and trading family.

The Jiang family wanted the route, which was something the Ji family could expect. After all, although they had a marriage relationship, the profits the Ji family gained from the porcelain trade were indeed substantial, and the two sides often had disagreements in every agreement.

Previously, due to the low domestic production efficiency, there were few good ships, most of which were produced by the Ji family. The Jiang family had no choice but to accept it.

Now that the country's doors are open, the entry of foreign ships has not only dealt a painful blow to the Ji family, but also given the Jiang family more ideas.

Jiang Shuliu came up with a new idea: Why not take control of the ships and conduct maritime trade on our own?

This idea naturally met the approval of other managers of the Jiang family, so the marriage condition was tacitly agreed.
