Chapter 118 Concubine Gao Prepares to Propose Marriage
After Yan Qi left, Zhao Huayin first met Nanny Qian and learned about the recent situation of Yunshangfang.
Zhao Huayin originally thought that due to the impact of the flower-viewing garden party, Yunshangfang's business would be sluggish for a while.
Unexpectedly, there was no such thing. Instead, the number of customers coming to Yunshangfang to customize clothes increased.
Seeing Zhao Huayin's doubts, Nanny Qian explained softly,
“That’s how it is in the capital. No matter how big the event is, people will forget about it after a while.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the ladies' pursuit of clothes and jewelry. The clothes that the girl made for Princess Jiayi are very stunning, and you will never forget them once you have seen them.
Of course, they also want the clothes you make, especially since there are poetry gatherings and tea parties every now and then in the capital, and you can never have too many beautiful clothes. "
"That's true. As long as the person who died wasn't one of our own family, no one would take that day's incident to heart after a while."
Zhao Huayin didn’t know whether this was a good thing or not.
After looking through the account books of Yunshangfang, I found that the income in recent period has been very considerable.
In addition to the income from custom-made clothing, a lot of fabrics and small items such as sachets and fan pendants were also sold.
Small items are not expensive, but the cost is also low, and Yunshangfang has embroiderers and can ship out items quickly, so there are many buyers and naturally more profits.
There are also many large orders with Jiaozhi State.
"Master Yan has considered all the circumstances. When he left, he told the old servant to buy a new batch of material, which is butterfly-wing blue silk. He said that the girl might be able to use it.
This old servant has been keeping it well, and I will take it out now to show you, young lady."
After saying this, Nanny Qian turned around to get the material, while Zhao Huayin continued to look at the account book.
Nanny Qian brought three pieces of cloth. Zhao Huayin put down the account book in her hand and went forward to check.
The material of genuine silk is thin and light and dissipates heat, making it perfect for wearing in summer. Moreover, the color of these three pieces of genuine silk is a very pure butterfly-wing blue. Zhao Huayin liked them as soon as she saw them.
"Where did you buy this material, brother? This pure butterfly wing blue is rare."
"I don't know either. Master Yan didn't tell me. He went out to buy it himself."
Touching the material in his hand, Zhao Huayin was thinking about using it to make the clothes in one of the manuscripts given by Princess Jiayi, which was a long skirt with a very simple style.
The long skirt had only half sleeves with Song brocade embroidery on the cuffs. There was a button on the right side of the collar. The skirt was too short to cover the instep, only reaching a little above the ankles.
It was the first time that Zhao Huayin saw this style of clothing, but she inexplicably thought it was beautiful. As soon as she saw the genuine silk, she felt that it was suitable for making this dress.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Huayin felt that the sleeves should be made longer and the style of the skirt should be slightly changed to make it suitable for ladies in the capital.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huayin took out the manuscript of Princess Jiayi, and took another piece of paper to draw the design she had just conceived.
After finishing the painting, Zhao Huayin showed it to Aunt Qian.
"Mammy, look, is this skirt pretty?"
Madam Qian squinted her eyes and looked carefully, nodding repeatedly.
"This skirt that the girl drew will definitely be very popular once it is made."
Nanny Qian first worked in the palace and later came to Yan Qi's side. She had seen a lot of good clothes, so if she could get his approval, the clothes must be really good.
Zhao Huayin was delighted.
"That's great, let's make one and see."
"Yes, Mammy."
Zhao Huayin put the manuscript back, then she remembered to ask Aunt Qian,
"I see in your account book that in addition to the fan pendants and sachets that sold well, there is also a plum blossom cord that sold very well. Who made it?"
When Nanny Qian heard this question, she laughed.
"Girl, this is made by Yunniang. Yunniang's lace is very popular!"
"It's a good seedling."
Zhao Huayin nodded.
Yunniang came from a poor family, but she was able to struggle forward in the mud and support her grandmother and sister on her own. Zhao Huayin admired her very much.
Such a kind and virtuous woman should not be repeatedly troubled by this world.
Zhao Huayin had a plan in mind.
"Mammy, Yunniang is still working at Yunshangfang during the day. Does she go back at night?"
"Yes, Yunniang is diligent. She is always the first one to come in the morning and the last one to leave in the evening in order to get more work done."
"Please ask Madam to call Yunniang over. I have something to tell her."
After hearing this, Nanny Qian turned around and called Yunniang.
"Meet the girl."
Yunniang bowed to Zhao Huayin.
“No need to be polite. I called you here today because I have something for you to do. However, this embroidery is not easy to do, so I’m afraid you will have to work longer.
After you finish this job, your salary will not increase. I don't know if you are willing to do so, so I asked you to come and ask."
"What are you talking about, young lady? Since I am an embroiderer at Yunshangfang, I will do whatever job you assign me to do. How can I be picky?
If the working hours are longer, I will give the aunt next door some extra wages."
"That's not necessary."
Zhao Huayin looked at Yunniang and said,
"There is a house behind Yunshangfang. It was rented when my brother rented the warehouse. I originally wanted to use it as a warehouse, but the warehouse is enough for now.
That house is also empty. I see that it has everything you need, so you can let your grandmother and sister live there while you work on it."
Yan Zhao has always been thorough in his work. He calculated the size of the warehouse before renting it. The yard at the back had not been rented out originally, but the family there moved out some time ago and it is now vacant.
After hearing what Zhao Huayin said, Madam Qian immediately understood what Zhao Huayin meant. Seeing that Yunniang was still in a daze, Madam Qian hurriedly reminded her.
"The girl is thinking about you, why don't you thank her quickly."
"Girl, there's no need to be like this. I'll just go out early in the morning."
"No."
Zhao Huayin shook her head.
"This batch of work is needed urgently and we can't waste any time. Just move in and wait until the work is done."
Seeing Zhao Huayin's insistence, Yunniang hesitated for a moment and then agreed, thinking of moving back after this busy period.
“That’s settled then.
Please, Madam, arrange a few servants to help Yunniang move today."
Nanny Qian agreed and took Yunniang to make the arrangements.
Nanny Qian went out, and Liuyun and Dianxue came back.
Dianxue brought another cup of tea to Zhao Huayin.
"Girl, what are you going to do today?"
"Go get the cloud satin. I promised County Master Jiayi that I would make her a cloud satin skirt with hundreds of gold butterflies and flowers."
royal palace.
When Yan Qi entered the palace, Emperor Hui had already met Yan She in the imperial study.
Not wanting to join in the fun, Yan Qi went to Concubine Gao's palace to wait for Prince Jin.
Although Concubine Gao was under house arrest, her mood was not affected. She was even happier to see Yan Qi coming.
Yan Qi guessed that Emperor Hui would find a way to release Yan She, and Concubine Yun's whereabouts might not be found for a while. If he had to wait until everything was done before settling on his own marriage, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.
So Yan Qi thought it over again and again and decided to tell Concubine Gao about his plan first.
"Mother, I want to get married."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Gao almost smashed the cup in her hand.
She knew this adopted son's character very well. He had never looked at any girl straight in the eye over the years, so she never dared to urge him to get married.
Today is the day when the thousand-year-old iron tree finally blooms. Concubine Gao asked hurriedly,
"It's really strange. Which girl would you want to get married with?"
"She is Zhao Huayin, the only daughter of the Minister of Rites."
"Good good."
Concubine Gao said "OK" three times in a row, and her eyes became a little red.
"What a happy event! Mother will make preparations right away and come to propose marriage as soon as possible!"
