Those shopkeepers heard that there were new clothes to wear, and they brought the sizes the next day. Some felt embarrassed, and tried to save Bai Xin money, "Bai Sanlang, if you don't want to bring some cloth back, you don't have to get it." If we do it outside, we all have wives and mothers at home, so we can just take it back and let them do it, even if we are not married, we also have sisters and mothers at home, so as not to let outsiders do it and spend a few manual money in vain."
Bai Xin knew that the person who spoke had good intentions, but he shook his head and refused. He asked these people to wear the same clothes for the sake of unity, to attract attention and deepen the impression. The style, but it will not be exactly the same after all, it will be uneven when worn out, and it will look half-baked and not good-looking. Anyway, the bulk of it is spent, so there is no reason to shrink it on a fraction.
Now that everyone in the family is grinding and making incense, there is definitely no way to do other work for them. Bai Xin simply found a few needleworkers in a shop selling fabrics, explained the requirements, and repeatedly emphasized that all clothes should be in the same style. Similarly, the name is embroidered on the chest of each piece of clothing.
Although the fabric Bai Xin bought was the worst linen, but he ordered so many pieces at one go, the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect, and assured him that there would be no problem with his words. Bai Xin paid a deposit and agreed to pick it up in five days.
Bai Xin originally didn't intend to tell his family about this kind of thing, but since his elder brother was also selling goods outside, he also ordered new clothes for him, and he heard other shopkeepers chattering, implying that Sanlang was stupid, Unavoidably worried that this large sum of money would be in vain, so I asked without thinking about it.
As a result, Mrs. Cao heard these words, and she immediately raised her voice as if her flesh had been cut, "Sanlang, is what your elder brother said true? Are you still spending money to make clothes for those people outside?"
Bai Xin twitched suddenly between his eyebrows, immediately wrinkled his whole face, and sighed helplessly.
Da Lang knew he had made a slip of the tongue, looked at Bai Xin guiltily, then at his mother, opened his mouth, seemed to be speaking, and said after a while: "Mother, don't worry, listen to what third brother said, he always has a lot of ideas, He must have had a purpose in doing so."
Over the past few days, Mrs. Cao has seen Bai Xin's ability, and listened to him more and more. If it had been put aside in the past, he would have started screaming when he heard that he had paid for other people's clothes. He kept rubbing his hands, and looked over eagerly, "Sanlang, what do you think? Everyone makes a piece of clothing, how much will it cost?"
"Mother!" Bai Xin grabbed her hand and rubbed it slowly in the palm of her hand. The warm power passed through her hand, and Cao gradually calmed down. Bai Xin continued: "Those peddlers help us sell things. , but put it outside, who will remember them? But if Qi Shushua wears the same clothes, and the words "Tianxiangtang" are embroidered on the clothes, it will attract attention, and slowly they will all be remembered. Fame It's getting louder, and what are those clothes compared to?"
"That's what you said, but so many clothes cost a lot of money, right?" Mrs. Cao thought about it carefully, and although she agreed with this, when she thought about the money, she still couldn't help feeling distressed, "What about the fabric? You bought it?" Is it? Let me tell you, just buy the cheapest one, they are a bunch of rough people, and they don’t care much about wearing them.”
"After buying, it is the cheapest linen I bought, and the cloth shop is rushing out overnight, and it will be ready in five days."
Bai Xin said it subconsciously, but who knew that this touched her mother's sore spot again, and she stomped her feet anxiously, "Why do you let others do it? You have to pay for it by hand, why don't you take it home and let your mother do it? Your sister-in-law , Elder Sister can also help, let’s say it can be done in five days, but it’s okay to be a few days late?”
"Mother, you still need to help me grind spices, make soap dumplings, rouge cream, where can you make clothes?"
Cao was not reconciled and said: "Squeezing can still squeeze out time. You do so much in one breath, and you need more than 100 Wen just for embroidery work?"
Cao usually does not manage the family finances, but subconsciously uses previous concepts to measure money. The price she guessed is less than half. Bai Xin dare not tell her that the manual fee alone costs more than 300 cash.
"Mother, if you have the time to squeeze out, if you make one or two more boxes of rouge paste, you will get money for embroidery. Instead, you are wasting your time making clothes. Is the loss outweighed by the gain?"
When Cao heard the mention of the rouge cream, her complexion gradually softened, and the brows also loosened, "Is the mother confused, is it not like what you said? This rouge cream is selling so well, we mothers should hurry up Do more."
Mrs. Cao stopped making trouble, and Da Lang was convinced by listening to her, until Mrs. Cao muttered and got into the kitchen, Da Lang stepped forward and said to Bai Xin apologetically, "Third brother, it's all my fault for my mouth. , then forget everything, you still have a good brain, if I can’t think of so much. Your sister-in-law, let me thank you on her behalf, saying that the rouge cream is easy to use, hehe, no wonder everyone likes it, even though I am a rough One, I don’t understand anything, but I can also see that the elder sister’s face is flushed after applying the rouge cream, which is really pretty.”
Speaking of the eldest sister, Da Lang sighed for a while, this time he learned to be smart, looked left and right, saw no one, Fang whispered: "Eldest sister is not young, but this marriage has nowhere to go, now we come to the capital, ordinary families, I'm afraid I look down on our background even more." After talking, there was another long sigh, "I heard from your sister-in-law that mother deliberately found a matchmaker to talk to her, but she stopped her, and I don't know what she thinks, can't Don't delay any longer."
Bai Xin was a little surprised. He didn't know that there was such a place. In his opinion, the affairs of the inner house should be handed over to women, and men should go out to make money without any worries. But the situation of the Bai family is a bit special now. Both sister-in-law and sister-in-law are soft-tempered, but fortunately the whole family is of one mind, if they really control everyone, they will definitely not be able to suppress them.
Bai Xin didn't dare to say that she knew much about the elder sister, but from the few words she occasionally revealed, it was not difficult to guess that she was frightened by her previous experience living in the Bai family, lest she would be bullied like her mother after marriage, plus She had been rejected by others before, and she was even less optimistic about her marriage. She still remembered that she said that she would rather not marry for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, Bai Xin couldn't help worrying about the elder sister's marriage, but he was a younger brother after all, and this kind of thing was also difficult. I can't really go there and talk to her personally, I still have to rely on my mother.
"Hey, brother, don't be in a hurry. Our family has saved some savings in the past two years, and then we will buy some dowry for the eldest sister, and keep it for others to find a good one, so that the eldest sister can marry in a prosperous manner."
Da Lang's eyes lit up, and he gave a big thank you.
Bai Xin wanted to let the salesmen wear uniforms and embroider their names, so that others could remember "Tianxiangtang", but at the same time, he wanted to put more effort into the items he made, and soon he thought of a way , So I went to the woodworking workshop and made a few small molds, some with the three characters "Tianxiangtang" and peony patterns. After I took them home, I made soap dumplings and rouge cream, and made them while they were completely dry. Before, they had to be pressed with a mold, and a peony was pressed out of the round soap ball, blooming wantonly, and the three characters "Tianxiangtang" were written underneath.
The rouge ointment is also prepared in the same way. Originally, the gorgeous ointment looks good in a white porcelain bottle, but now when the lid is lifted, a graceful and luxurious peony comes into view, and it suddenly looks more delicate. Ladies fantasize about dressing themselves up beautifully.
Five days later, the custom-made clothes were ready, and Bai Xin went to check and accept them. He picked up one and shook it open for a look. He saw that the stitches were fine and straight, and the big red characters on the back were very conspicuous. The ones added are exactly the same as the molds he made in the woodworking workshop, pink clusters, beautiful and heavenly.
Bai Xin stroked the peony petals with one hand and felt the stitches. He was more and more satisfied with the sight, even if he added two hundred coins for this, he was willing to pay the rest of the money, and took the clothes and left.
Those shopkeepers are really looking forward to the new clothes, wishing that five days will pass in the blink of an eye. It's been a long time since I've worn new clothes, so how can I make them unhappy?Moreover, men in this dynasty also love flowers, so they don't think the peony pattern on the back is full of powder, but they love it so much that they all want to wear it during the New Year.
More than a dozen people are wearing the same clothes and selling the same things. They are distributed in the southeast and northwest of the capital. They shuttle back and forth in front of people's eyes. After picking up that flower, maybe I can't name it, but I know which one it is.
Those who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters now have no other choice. After all, if they want to make a new dress, they are also reluctant to part with the money. Maybe they have earned a lot before spending it, so they have to hang a piece of money on the burden like before. People who can buy this brand are not stupid. They have known that only people wearing uniform clothes are the real "Tianxiangtang", so they don't want to buy fake products. .
The shopkeepers also saw the benefits now, and they were convinced by Bai Xin. They felt a little sorry for not letting him pay for new clothes, and they felt flattered again, so one by one they brought some fish, meat, eggs, poultry and other things from their homes to give him.
Bai Xin saw that rouge cream was so popular, so he made pink, pomegranate red, spring red and tender red according to the different raw materials of rouge juice.There are different reds such as Begonia, and "Dewdrops" without added pigments. They are colorless and can be used by men. They are moisturizing and soft on the lips, and have a very good effect on dryness and chapping.
The author has something to say: I don’t know if it’s because of the time-traveling novels in the early years, when the main characters killed and brainwashed the world. Some people think that Xiao Shou was too aggrieved at the beginning, so he should do whatever he wants. Regardless, I’ll explain mine here View
First of all, Xiao Shou did not travel through modern times, he also lived in ancient times, bound by rules and etiquette, it is impossible to really not worry about anything.
Secondly, in ancient times, filial piety was really greater than the sky. Maybe now people just listen to it and can't imagine that even if your parents tell you to die, you have to die.Even if your parents are wrong, you can’t have complaints. If you have complaints, it’s your fault, and you will be criticized (I can’t help but take Lu You and Tang Wan as examples again, just because the mother-in-law doesn’t like it and asks to divorce his wife, Lu You Even if I love Logan even more, I will divorce her. If I write this kind of plot in the novel, will I also be told that the "protagonist" is too aggrieved? But this is the reality of ancient times)
Cao's cowardice is her cowardice, let alone her, it is the situation of Dafang's family, how can Bai Xin live without any scruples in that situation?His body is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he has no money, not even a penny, and he had a big fight with his grandma?Then what?He will always bear the reputation of being unfilial, making it even more difficult for Dafang's family to survive. Maybe Grandma Bai will drive him away, and he will be free, but how can Bai Xin survive without money?He's young and not in good health, so it's hard to be a creeper, right?
I think, how can I write that Bai Xin killed all directions, or left in anger, or convinced the Bai family, wouldn't it feel fake?
It is precisely because he is an adult at heart that he knows how to avoid his sharp edge and wait for the opportunity to move. I really don't know how Bai Xin resisted in the first place to make everyone happy.
The reason why he endured Cao Shi was because Cao Shi was kind to him. No matter how cowardly Cao Shi was, she would try her best to protect Bai Xin. Maybe the judge didn't think it was enough, but for Cao Shi, she There is no way that Bai Xin is not a heartless person. Several times when Grandma Bai beat and scolded, Sister Bai and Mrs. Cao stood in front of her, so he felt that the big house was his responsibility.
As for the joke about Wuniang being sold, everyone's reaction, I was thinking that Cao was stunned and didn't know what to do. If Bai Xin didn't stop her, if Wuniang was sold in the end, maybe He won't erupt immediately, but he will definitely erupt and become crazy. This is what I thought at the time, because Bai Xin quickly took this matter on him, so Cao Shi had no time to react.
And that girl, I’m not chasing you, I think the time-traveling text you want to read is not my writing Maybe one day I see the time-traveling text you like, but I can’t stand the kind of time-traveling text that easily convinces everyone Maybe I don’t I can, but I try my best to write realistically.
