Chen Shuting was a straightforward person, but after a little hesitation, she made a decision:

“I want all five sets.”

"This set of wide-sleeved long skirt is made of cloud pattern brocade. I will send other cloths for the other four sets. I will stay here for more than two months. Can it be finished before I leave?"

After hearing this, Shi Lidie turned her gaze to Lu Zhoushi.

She looked at the five drawings, pondered for a moment, and nodded:

"Ten days to do one set, that's about right."

"Okay, it's settled then." Chen Shuting said, "My uncle's birthday party will be held in half a month. I hope that by then, I can wear new clothes and be the spokesperson for your shop."

"Absolutely no problem!" Shi Lidie quickly agreed.

After the two of them reached an agreement, they signed the contract.

The market price of cloud pattern brocade was three hundred taels of silver. Shi Lidie only charged for the cloth, and waived the design drawings and Lu Zhoushi's wages.

As for the other four sets, Chen Shuting made the fabrics herself, so she only charged for the labor and waived the fee for the drawings.

All together, it comes to four hundred taels of silver.

According to this price, the wages for Lu Zhoushi to make a set of clothes is about twenty-five taels, which is considered a very expensive price.

Chen Shuting was rich, so she paid the full amount directly and asked her maid to go to the Chen Mansion to get four pieces of cloth. After confirming the contract, both parties signed and put their fingerprints on it.

This matter is settled.

Chen Shuting said she wanted to take her maid to go somewhere else for a walk, and Shi Lidie saw her off to the door and did not accompany her any longer.

After all, she still has business to run.

For the next half month, Shi Lidie brewed wine and Lu Zhou made clothes.

Both of them were preparing for the birthday banquet at the Chen Mansion.

Mr. Chen’s full name is Chen Qinghe. He was originally from the capital. Due to poor health, he resigned from his official position and came to the small town of Luoyun to recuperate.

Before resigning, he had already reached the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Even after resigning from office, he still had a brother who was the Minister of Rites, and many of the Chen family's children were serving as officials in the court.

Based on this point, many people in Luoyun Town want to curry favor with him. After all, this represents his connections in the capital.

Whether you want to take the imperial examination in the future or go out to do business, it will be much easier if you can get in touch with the Chen family than to rush around on your own.

Therefore, even if Mr. Chen does not return to the capital, his birthday banquet should not be underestimated.

No matter what, at least it will be a big event.

Shi Lidie knew with her knees that this birthday party was a large occasion with many people coming, and it was also the best opportunity for her wine and her private customization to become famous.

Time flies by.

Lu Zhou worked hard for ten consecutive days and finally completed the first piece of clothing before Mr. Chen’s birthday party.

When Chen Shuting came to try them on, she could hardly take her eyes off the moment she saw the clothes.

She held the clothes in her hands and couldn't let go:

"It's so beautiful, the style is novel, it's definitely not seen outside, the embroidery is exquisite, the workmanship is exquisite. If you didn't want to do business, I really want to take you all to the capital."

These words didn't sound fake, and it was obvious that she was sincere.

Shi Lidie originally wanted to develop in a big city, but her foundation was too shallow now, and it was not the time to rush into a big city.

So she just smiled and said nothing.

"Oh, right." Chen Shuting seemed to remember something, took out an invitation from her sleeve and handed it to Shi Lidie, "This is the invitation to my uncle's birthday party. He wrote it himself and wanted to ask Uncle Wu to deliver it, but when he heard that I was here to try on clothes today, he asked me to bring it over."

"Invitation? For me?" Shi Lidie was surprised.

"Of course, who else could it be if not you? Your name is written on it!"

“But I’m just a merchant…”

According to Shi Lidie, although this dynasty was relatively open, the class distinction between scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans was indelible.

For a merchant like her, being able to marry Mr. Chen, a former high-ranking official from a prominent family, was already a stroke of luck thanks to the original plot.

I really didn't expect that Mr. Chen would actually write the invitation to her personally.

Chen Shuting couldn't help but laugh when she heard this:

"Don't you know what my uncle's birthday party is like?"

"What form?" Shi Lidie was puzzled.

Chen Shuting explained:

"My uncle's birthday party has always been a place where talents are invited regardless of their background. No matter if you are a merchant or a farmer, as long as you are in my uncle's eyes, he will write the invitation himself."

"He makes friends based on his mood, regardless of their social status or social status. If he likes the person, even if he is a beggar on the street, he will invite him into his house to have a chat."

"So, Boss Shi, you don't have to belittle yourself. You are the most powerful female boss I have ever seen."

"It's a pity that you are not in the capital. Otherwise, with your wine-making skills and your unique clothing style, you would definitely be the most popular merchant in the capital!"

When Shi Lidie heard this, what was there to worry about?

He immediately took the invitation:

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

After delivering the invitations, Chen Shuting took the clothes and left.

A few days later, it was the day when Master Chen held his birthday banquet.

Shi Lidie had asked some helpers to deliver the wine to be used in the banquet to Chen's house two days ago, and today, she herself would attend the banquet as a guest.

She put on the new clothes that Lu Zhou made for her with silk cloth, changed her hair into a bun, and after she was dressed up, she went out with the gifts.

The birthday gift was bought by Shi Lidie in the system mall.

It was the first time for her to attend a birthday banquet of an ancient person, and that of a respected senior. She didn't know what to give, so after asking around, she heard that Mr. Chen never accepted gifts for his birthday.

So, according to Mr. Chen's personality and preferences, she bought a copy of "Complete Tang Poems".

"The Lucky Girl of the Farming Family" is a world in a book. The dynasty inside is the fictional Dayin Dynasty. It is unknown what dynasty was before that, but there was definitely no Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, in Shi Lidie's own world, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and other masters of poetry who are familiar to even primary school students do not exist here.

Naturally, Tang poetry does not exist either.

But it doesn’t matter, Shi Lidie will be the porter.

Let the brilliant poetry culture in Chinese history shine brightly in this world and last forever.

The Complete Tang Poems includes all the poems that appeared and were recorded in history books during the nearly three hundred years from the beginning to the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the authors are indicated.

Although Mr. Chen may not know who these authors are.

But that does not prevent the book from being filled with unprecedented good poems.

Based on Mr. Chen's personality, knowledge and appreciation, he will definitely like it.

In this way, Shi Lidie arrived at Chen's house.

He personally handed the packaged "Complete Tang Poems" to Mr. Chen and said a few auspicious words, which was very considerate.

Mr. Chen did not open the package immediately, but just asked Uncle Wu to put it away.

Then, he said to Shi Lidie:

"There are so many people here today, please forgive me for not entertaining you well. This is not the first time Miss Shi has come to the mansion, so you can take a look around before the banquet begins."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will go find Miss Chen then." Shi Lidie said with a smile.

After saying hello, she walked towards the women's area.

Her wine is already well-known in Luoyun Town, but her private custom clothing store will soon come to the fore starting today.
