Xiao Zhuzi said that Xia Lusi has the fragrance of the eldest princess, and as if to confirm, he leaned close to Xia Lusi and sucked it like a dog: "Really, the fragrance of the eldest princess is like a fairy, as long as you go to Feifei When I was in the Yan Pavilion, I was serving the princess, so I could smell it."

Xia Lvsi was ashamed and guilty, and just finished talking about the things she didn't have, when the voice of the servant came from the side of the vegetable garden: "My lord son-in-law, please accept the order from the eldest princess."

Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly covered his mouth and kept silent, he really didn't want to talk about others behind his back, and he presumptuously spoke to the princess, and the princess's people came after him.Scary too.

Alas, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.When you miss a person very much, or even pay too much attention to a person, even if you hear her mentioned from an irrelevant person, it can make your heart beat abnormally.Xia Lusi drew water from the vegetable garden, washed her hands and feet, arranged her clothes and came to the main hall. She cupped her hands to the servant and said, "I don't know why the princess suddenly issued an order."

The servant's face was filled with joy, and he raised his voice and said, "Don't worry about it, son-in-law, it's a happy event."

Then the servant unfolded the imperial decree and began to read it. After hearing a few words, Xia Lvsi found out that it was a reward.The servant began to read out the list: "500 taels of silver, four bolts of velvet brocade for makeup, ten bolts of purely woven gold yarn, ten bolts of purely woven gold yarn, one hundred pieces of colored silk, twenty scarlet lacquered gold bowls, ivory Twenty pairs of chopsticks carved with lychees and birds, five hundred pieces of blue and yellow letter paper, fifty pieces of rabbit hair brushes, one hundred sheets of paper of various kinds, two silver jugs with two altars of Qionghualu wine, and then reward..."

While the servants were reading out, there were maids holding trays and servants carrying red lacquered boxes to present them one by one.Boxes and dishes, big and small, filled the table and floor in the main hall to the brim.

Xiao Zhuzi smiled and said to Xia Lvsi: "Your Majesty, look, Her Royal Highness has rewarded you with so many things, that's great! Our son is just capable, you were still modest just now, why did you suddenly serve the princess so well?" So happy?!"

"Ah, this..." Xia Lvsi was speechless, she said just now that she had nothing to do with Duan Lingge, how did she know that the slap in the face came so quickly.

And the rewards that were so full, Xia Lusi was a little bit dumbfounded.After sleeping with the big beauty, the big beauty said she was irresponsible and treated her badly on the boat.What did her princess lady say at that time?

At that time, the wife gave her money after getting on the boat, and said that there would be rewards later... well, it was true.No, the reward is here!Normally, Duan Lingge used to be simple and frugal, but now he rewarded her with so many things, should she be thankful?I am glad that I have been serving all night, and my wife is so satisfied with the service.

Should I still want to cry?Because Duan Lingge, an arrogant woman, has to draw a line with others after sleeping, and even give her so many things to show that money is equal?

To some extent, she is quite expensive.Xia Lusi wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, but Duan Lingge, a woman with a serious and cold look, was really going to torture people to death.

In the next few days, Xia Lusi was not in high spirits, and she was not interested in directing the chef to toss her delicious food in the kitchen, and she refused to go to the master's place again, and she refused to even show up for a few days. The master asked people to invite her every day but couldn't invite her, so angry that the master blew his beard and stared, but there was nothing he could do.

Xia Lvsi spent every day in her vegetable garden, fertilizing, watering, keeping warm, improving the structure of the shed, and then writing some ghostly characters on paper with a pen that no one could understand.

Xiao Zhuzi looked at Xia Lvsi's ink every day, and then put mud on the ink, which was a little funny and a little worried.Xiao Zhuzi said to her: "My lord, should we go out to visit Zhaoli City? The Golden Academy of Fine Arts you bought has not been visited for a long time, and now it is surrounded by coarse mesh cloth, and it is almost becoming a capital city." After a scene, many people gather around outside every day to guess what is inside.”

As soon as Xia Lvsi became interested, she said, "Go and see Fang Cuijiao."

So Xia Lvsi took Xiao Zhuzi to the direction of Jinmei Academy on Nanmen Street.Xia Lvsi walked to the Academy of Fine Arts, entered through the thick mesh covering it, looked around and nodded with a smile.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was not merciless when he took her gold, but the things he made were indeed quite elegant. From the first floor to the second floor of the Jinmei Academy, the layout was changed and renovated, with a stable and low-key style, with luxury and nobility.

This Fang Cuijiao is also very skillful, Xia Lvsi originally only thought of her as a weak prostitute, but she did not expect that she is a good hand inside and out, the project is watching, the girls are in charge, and she is in good order.

The front yard is under renovation and construction, and the two rows of bungalows in the back yard are used as the girls' residence.Xia Lvsi sat in the backyard, and more than twenty girls from Jinmei Building stood in the yard. The flowers bloomed in full bloom, making it dizzying for the eyes.

Xia Lvsi asked: "What do the girls who stayed behind do every day?"

It turned out that after Xia Lvsi bought the Golden Academy of Fine Arts, he simply did nothing but spent money to buy the deeds of prostitution of more than [-] girls, big and small, in the Golden Academy of Fine Arts.The red maids who perform arts and prostitute themselves send them back to their hometowns to live and marry, while the Qing courtiers who perform arts but not prostitute themselves are allowed to freely choose to stay or make a living by themselves.

After Xia Lvsi finished asking, all the girls in the yard started giggling and laughing, making this simple and small yard full of spring like spring.

Fang Cuijiao covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty really cares about people at such a young age, and he cares about the ladies and sisters as soon as he comes. Well, everyone, there are more than [-] people, and now they are divided into two groups. Apart from practicing some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting The skills of poetry and poetry, a group of sisters who are good at cooking, study some ingenious and delicious dishes every day for the prince to taste. The other group is good at women, weaving and embroidering every day, and want to order new clothes for you, the prince.”

Xia Lvsi laughed: "What are you doing around me? I don't lack food and clothing."

"Yeah... the skills I've worked so hard to practice are useless."

"Ah... what to do in the future when there is nothing to do."

There was a sound of disappointment and frustration.

Xia Lvsi had no choice but to say: "It's not all useless. There are sisters who are good at cooking, continue to practice, and it will be very useful in the future. Those who are good at female celebrities should continue, who doesn't like beautiful clothes. Don’t panic, everyone, with me, no matter what, everyone has to be trained and re-employed, haha!”

Alas, I have now become the director of the Street Women's Federation, and I have to find a way out for unemployed young women to be trained and then employed.When Xia Lu thought about it, he couldn't help but find it funny.

Fang Cuijiao said at this time: "Speaking of beautiful clothes, I heard that the prince opened a floating gauze clothes bureau a few days ago, and it was a sensation for two days, but then we didn't have time to take a look, so we closed it until now. pity."

"Oh, that." Xia Lvsi waved his hand, "At that time, in order to sell off a batch of ready-made clothes, there was a floating yarn clothing bureau. Later, the ladies and wives in the capital came to order, but the dresses had already been sold out, so I just bought them. can pause."

"Why don't you make some more?" Fang Cuijiao said: "My sisters here are very good at craftsmanship. Those wealthy officials who came here in the past praised them. Now the sisters are free. As long as they have materials and styles, they can also be Can do some."

"Eh?" Fang Cuijiao's speaker had no intention, but Xia Lusi's listener did.The garment bureau is doing well, which shows that even people in this dynasty have no concept of garment manufacturing, but the demand is still very strong.

Xia Lvsi called Fang Cuijiao over and asked carefully: "Does the owner know skilled tailors and embroiderers? If I provide venues, materials, all kinds of needles, threads, and other tools, they need to come to my place every day for me. For work, I will provide daily wages, is there anyone willing to come?"

"I know Xiuniang's tailor very well," Fang Cuijiao said with a smile, "It's just that my son's method is really novel, it's like sending someone to work in the palace, I'll ask."

"It's not an errand in the palace, it's an errand in my clothing bureau. I'll leave this to you, and I'll go back and do the math." Xia Lvsi smiled.

Xia Lusi went to Fang Cuijiao's place that day and sat there for a cup of tea.From Xiao Zhuzi's point of view, he didn't talk about serious things at all, but as soon as the prince came out, he asked him to buy an old empty mansion in a back alley.

The old mansion was pointed out by Shi Zi to his attention when he came out to play last time. The seller’s family had already moved to a new house in the east of the city. Xiao Zhuzi went to bargain. The silver was sold to him.

At first, Xiao Zhuzi was not happy, because in his opinion, it was not suitable for a nobleman like Shizi to live in, because the building style of the courtyard was old, the gate was not open and grand, and the furniture was old and dilapidated.

But Xia Lusi felt very satisfied, she said happily: "Not bad, not bad, I missed it."

Xiao Zhuzi was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, you paid 100 taels for such a dilapidated house, and you missed it?"

Xia Lvsi knocked on his forehead with a copper key, "You don't know about that. I don't want to live here, the house is just a shelter from the wind and rain. At that time, all the rooms will be equipped with special tables and stools, so naturally there is no need for them." Furniture. The gate is in the alley, as long as you can go in and out. But have you seen the fence in the backyard, there is a half-drawn fence on Quqiao Street."

"The fence can be a reason to buy a house on the street?!" Xiao Zhuzi was surprised.

The three vertical streets of Quqiao Street, South Street and Chengmen Street in Zhaoli City run through the whole city from north to south. Among them, Quqiao Street links the main city of Zhaoli City, the imperial palace and the area where officials and nobles gather. From wealthy businessmen to ordinary people, everyone can come to this street, and they will all come to this street.

But there is a half-walled backyard on this street, can it be a reason?I'm afraid the son is spending money indiscriminately for an excuse, right? !

"Stupid. Knock off half of the wall and build a door for me. Wouldn't it be a shop?!" Xia Lvsi said.

It seems a bit nondescript to knock the root of the wall and build a shop in a house. Whose house would do that.But having said that, if what you want is not a house but a shop, it seems that 100 taels is quite a deal.The eldest son of his family is indeed a late bloomer, a genius born from heaven.

-------------------------------------

Xia Lusi had a lot of trouble here, and Fang Cuijiao was quite capable. In a few days, Xia Lusi recruited most of the embroidered tailors in the city and screened them, leaving only those with ingenuity.

There were more than a dozen embroiderers plus some girls from the Academy of Fine Arts. There were more than [-] people. Xia Lvsi waved his hand and said, "If you want to stay, I will use it. Let's call it Piaoshayifang, and we will come here later." Shihoufang sells while making. Girls and big wives, start making clothes today, and start counting wages today."

Xia Lvsi was generous, and everyone was very happy. Every day, he went to the Piaosha Yifang that the old mansion was converted into, and went out early and returned late to start making clothes.

Embroiderers and tailors must first think out the style of the clothes they want to make, cut a small sample, draw the pattern they want to embroider, and put them together for appreciation. Only the most beautiful and exquisite Only then can everyone work together to make it.

Xia Lvsi then went to carpenters' shops and blacksmiths' shops throughout the city, and ordered a batch of woodworking tables, chairs, needles, threading tools, etc. from the Weaving Bureau in Zhaoyang Palace.Money is not afraid to spend, the most important thing is to be fast.So as I saw, the 500 taels of silver that the eldest princess rewarded, under Xia Lvsi's hooting, disappeared in a few days.

Xiao Zhuzi's new errand now is to double as an accountant, holding a small book and counting money by Shizi's side every day.When he spent the last copper coin in the mansion again, Xiao Zhuzi complimented Xia Lvsi dog-leggedly: "Our son is very lucky in wealth, and every time we spend it all, there are noble people who send money in time. The money is not hot It doesn't matter, it's the ability to come in a steady stream."

Xia Lvsi was so flattered that she smiled naively: "Is that so? Let me tell you, on the way back from Cangyi Mountain, I was bitten by a leopard. At that time, the fairy girl who kept the leopard said, I Get rich and prosper... There is drama, there is drama!"

"Hey, hey..." Xiao Zhuzi looked down at the clean big money box in the treasury... Return the leopard, return the fairy girl... No, since the master said so, we dare not say directly "I believe you Ghost!" Ah, you say yes.

So after ten or so days of tossing around, seeing heavy snowfall and the New Year's Eve approaching, Piaosha Yifang finally made a batch of clothes with luxurious styles, exquisite materials, and exquisite workmanship.

Xia Lvsi packed the clothes carefully, hired a few large carriages, and transported a room full of girls and women together with the clothes to the small courtyard with the sign of Piao Sha Clothes Bureau in the remote corner of the Princess's mansion. ?
