C17 Business

When had Faang Xinsu ever had such a temper before? Zhang mama was momentarily stunned. Seeing that Qingliu was winking at her, she quickly held back the tears in her eyes and laughed as she opened up the bundle: "Young lady, are these clothes suitable for you? If it's not to my liking, I'll do it for the girl again. "

He saw that there were indeed two or three white camellias with dark green leaves embroidered on the front of the light blue shirt. In this scorching summer day, it seemed simple and elegant. Faang Xinsu took a glance at it and knew that it was made with effort. The embroiderer knew at first glance that it was Zhang mama's handiwork. Then, she thought about how she had spilled all her unhappiness on that wet nurse. She didn't know how sad she still felt. Thus, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Since mama is old, doing this kind of work is too tiring. In the future, you're not allowed to do it."

Zhang mama smiled and said, "As long as you don't mind, I won't be tired of doing more. Does Miss want to try? "

Faang Xinsu nodded, and a few maidservants quickly escorted her to the inner room. Her skin was white and tender, and her figure was graceful. When she put on the clothes, she looked even more charming and graceful. Faang Xinsu said, "I've never seen this kind of clothing before. Is it from the new era in Beijing?"

With a smile, Coral replied, "It was sister Qingliu who thought of it. She said that the girl would definitely look good if she wore it. Isn't she really so beautiful?"

Faang Xinsu nodded. "Qingliu's thoughts are all about being nimble. You all better learn more."

While they were chatting, Shen Tian brought the two girls over. Faang Xinsu hurriedly got up and led her to her seat. "Big Sister is here. Come sit." He then turned to Qingliu and instructed, "I remember Big Sis loves to drink melon slices the most. Coincidentally, the empress dowager gave me two boxes of high-grade Six An tea. Go and find one for Big Sis."

Shen Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry. Two days ago, the manor sent me some fresh lotus roots and walnuts for you. I made them make walnuts and two snacks. They taste pretty good. I brought some for you to taste."

Following that, the ink painting placed the small basket on the table and opened it. From within, he took out the green pastel flower pattern bird cover bowl and two white porcelain plates. Inside the bowl was the walnut sauce Shen Tian had mentioned, while the two plates contained the cinnamon candy and the steamed chestnut cake, as well as the glacial sugar and glutinous rice lotus slices. Inside the palm-sized plate, there were only four or five pieces of ingredients on it. It looked extremely exquisite. Faang Xinsu couldn't help but say, "Cousin came at just the right time, and I was a little hungry."

After he finished speaking, he tasted each piece. After tasting it, she said, "The glutinous rice lotus root slice is fine, but this chestnut powder cake is pretty good. It's very good when it comes to eating powdered rice." With that, he ate another two pieces of chestnut powder and drank half of the bowl of walnut milk. He nodded and said, "This peach core milk is not bad, its taste is quite sweet and refreshing. Cousin, you are so nice. "

Shen Tian covered her mouth and laughed. "You, don't be in such a hurry to thank me. I came today because I have something to ask of you. "

Faang Xinsu widened her eyes. "What's the matter?"

Shen Tian said, "Mother gave me a shop in her private room. The previous lease was due to expire and the house was empty. I don't want to rent out anymore, so I'll do something for myself. He didn't ask for much money, he just wanted to get a better understanding of the world's business. My mother has been busy these days, and I thought, "Since you're used to this sort of thing, you should come over and learn from me."

Faang Xinsu nodded. "That's right. Although women like us don't need to show our faces, in the future …" They had to be in charge of the board of directors. If they didn't know anything, they couldn't allow the manager to deceive them, right? I also met a lot of moths when I was at the first steward's house in Jinzhou. At that time, he was carefully taught by his father, and his little brother was willing to help. Otherwise, who knows how many jokes he would have made. Has elder sister thought of what to do with the shop? "

Shen Tian didn't answer. Instead, she pointed at Faang Xinsu's clothes and said, "The style of these clothes is quite unique. The tea flowers were embroidered in exquisite patterns. Did you bring them back from the palace?"

Faang Xinsu shook her head. "Palaces are magnificent, how can there be such elegant clothes? This was made for me by Senior Servant Zhang. The style of the clothes was Qingliu's idea. "

"It is indeed beautiful. This kind of pure color can only be seen when you wear it." Oh right, you brought this material yourself, right? The material for my skirt is made from the same material, or the material you gave me. "Speaking of which, all the silk that you brought back isn't for sale in the capital," Shen Tian said as she stroked the Immortal Leading Dress that she was wearing.

Faang Xinsu thought for a while. "Sister, do you want to do this silk business?" This is a long term deal, but does big sis have a supply of goods? "

Shen Tian nodded. "Our ancestors came from Jinling, and there are still many clansmen there. Jiangnan produces a lot of silk, and there are quite a few clansmen who do this business." Also, a cousin of his aunt's family went with her husband to Sichuan, which was famous for its brocade. I don't have much hope of doing it, it's just making money. Just two or three pieces of expensive silk and some ordinary cloth. "

Faang Xinsu nodded, "Looks like Cousin has already made up her mind. Since everything is appropriate, why not give it a try?"

"Then let's give it a try." Although Shen Tian had already made up her mind, it was her first time doing something on her own. She was a little perturbed, after all. Now, it was just this person's way of speaking to relieve her nervousness, so she didn't really need someone else to make the decision for her.

The two sisters talked about all sorts of trivial things. Faang Xinsu even invited Shen Tian to take a look at her tea flowers. Shen Tian couldn't help but praise, "This flower really bloomed quite well."

The maidservant handed over the Six-Armed Cucurbit that Faang Xinsu had mentioned a moment ago. Shen Tian took a sip and said, "It is indeed a good tea. It is fresh and refreshing."

Faang Xinsu smiled. "Since elder sister likes it, you can just bring a jar along when you leave." I don't drink this much anyway. "

Knowing that Faang Xinsu always drank green tea, Shen Tian smiled and said, "You and mother have similar tastes. Mother also likes to drink green tea."

The two sisters talked for a while longer. It wasn't until the sun had set did the two of them pack up and pay respects to Mrs. Han in Yuehua Courtyard.
