Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

The uproar caused by Mr. Bingley's departure completely subsided after a week. The forgetful people included the handsome Colonel Wickham and many officers in red uniforms.

Serena's life was not so smooth and peaceful. She wanted to open a store, and Serena knew that there were so many things, such as the housekeeper came to ask what the name of the store was?Serena realized that she didn't even choose the name of the store. Choosing a name was not an easy task. After a batch of brain cells died, Serena decided that the sign of the store was in the shape of a fan with the Chinese cursive word "Oriental" on it. Next, mark the translation in English, so that you can see that it is a shop selling oriental fans.

After finally solving the problem of the store name, the packaging of the fan, the fan pendant, the fan bag, and the brand logo on the fan are all problems that need to be solved.

The brand logo is the same as the store's signboard, which is the word "Oriental" in clean Chinese running script inside the shape of the fan. This logo must be on the fan, the fan pendant, and the packaging of the fan. Hey, it's a big project when you think about it.

The box containing the fan should also be made of wood, and the packaging represents the value of the fan. The fan pendant and fan bag are all up to the embroiderer, and there is a feeling that there are more and more things.

Serena, who has a lot of things to do and is under a lot of pressure, recently stopped socializing completely and devoted all her time to the preparation of the fan shop. Fortunately, things are gradually getting on the right track, and the shop in London can be officially opened after the decoration is completed.

A few days later, Serena, Mr. Jin, and Charlotte went to London with a batch of finished products. When they arrived in London, they put the fans in the renovated shop and prepared to open it the next day.The price of the fan is set very high, even a silk fan with a simple pattern is set at 7 pounds. Of course, this is only the price of the fan, and the fan pendant and fan bag need to be added.The most expensive and finest sandalwood fans cost £100, apparently intended to be sold only to a very small number of wealthy people.

On the first day of the store’s opening, there were many people watching and few people buying, and the turnover was very limited, but Serena was not worried, there are still many sales methods, and the most suitable for this social season is of course model sales, Serena Reina sent a perfectly packaged satin silk fan with a simple pattern to all the classmates she was familiar with in the school before, and then sent a perfectly packaged sandalwood fan with a simple pattern to the noble wife whom her grandfather knew, and then distributed a large number of publicity one.

After doing everything that needs to be done, Serena is not in a hurry.But Serena's not being in a hurry doesn't mean that the people around Serina are not in a hurry. Everyone pays more attention to Dongfang's fan sales than Serina. Although Mr. Jin doesn't give advice or guide, but the daily sales are more focused than Serina's. Tight, although everyone was worried about the fan shop, they didn't say anything, for fear of putting pressure on Serena.

Even Georgiana and Lilia were very worried about Serena. Serena would be frustrated if the sales were not good when she opened a shop for the first time. Therefore, the two in London often invited friends to the fan shop to look at fans. Even Mr. Darcy and Lilia's family, the Blake family, knew that the two of them had been visiting the fan shop with their friends recently. Those who didn't know thought the fan shop was run by the two ladies.

This is a magical era. Money represents status, but business is not a noble thing. A woman’s dowry is very important, but it is not a glorious thing for a woman to make money, and it is not something worth showing off for a woman. So Georgiana and Lilia only told the closest people that this fan shop belonged to Serena, but they also hoped that they could keep it a secret.The two families were amazed at Serena who dared to open a store by herself, but knowing that this store was completely decided by a 17-year-old girl, everyone couldn't help but be very optimistic.

Mr. Darcy is not just not optimistic about it, he is not used to it, "Georgianna, it is wrong for Miss Jin to do business by herself, her grandfather is also a strict gentleman, how could she agree to a lady doing business, I think the Jin family is not Miss Jin is needed to make money."

"Does my brother think that Serena can't do well or that Serena shouldn't do that?"

"Miss Jin is still young, only one year older than you. Running a store is not an easy task. And as a lady, you shouldn't worry about it."

"Brother, why do you think so? Serena's situation is different. She only has her grandfather, and her grandfather is getting old. For the sake of her grandfather's body, Serena started to deal with their family's various transactions a few years ago. , she is very capable, brother can't just look at her age and appearance, I think Serena has done a good job, as she said, she can also support the Jin family and take care of her grandfather. Does my brother think that such a filial Serena Rina, right?"

"Even if this is the case, she can still handle it for her grandfather as before, instead of running the business herself, which will affect her reputation."

"So I asked my brother to keep it a secret. I told my brother because I believed in him and didn't want to hide it. Will my brother spread the word?"

"I won't tell. Where is Miss Jin's shop?"

"Grosswinner Street is near where Mr. Bingley lives."

The conversation between the Darcy brothers and sisters came to an unhappy end.

Miss Lilia Black's conversation here is much warmer.It was rare for Mrs. Black to catch her daughter, "Lilia, why have you been running out all the time, mom can't find you."

"Mom, I'm going, Serena opened the fan shop, you have to keep it a secret."

"It's the classmate you met in the girls' school, the one who was very close?"

"That's right, it's Miss Serena King. Didn't she give you silk and a fan last time? Mom, you like it very much."

"How old is Miss Jin, how can she start a business by herself?"

"At the age of 17, others don't know that she is in business by herself. Only a few people know. Mom, don't tell it."

"Mom knows the severity, just ask."

"I don't know the details, but her grandfather has always trained her, and now she is letting her go."

"The Jin family seems to be in good condition. Their family is also in business, right?"

"Should have land but also do business, mom, why do you ask this?"

"Your brother is not young anymore. If you are a suitable friend, introduce them to him. Her family has a simple population and a good family background, and she gets along well with you. If she meets your brother, isn't she a good candidate?" ?”

"Mom, you're thinking too much. Serena is only 17 years old. Her grandfather will definitely not be willing to let her marry so early. Besides, I don't think Serena has yet to get the hang of it. She doesn't even like to go to the prom."

"You don't understand, so you are responsible for inviting her to our house. Where is her fan shop?"

"Grosswinner Street."

Lilia thinks of her hippie smiling face, her brother who is 25 years old and still unwilling to start a family, and her mother who is anxious to "marry" her brother out. Lilia wipes off Serena's sweat, but she will still invite Serena. After all, she is poor. Daoism is worse than death, fellow Taoist, forgive her for betraying friends for peace, Amen.

Serena didn't know that she had been sold by two friends. She felt that after the store was ready, life was very peaceful and peaceful. Such a relaxed life made Serena very comfortable. She went to the fan shop from time to time every day. Look at yesterday's sales, although the sales have been tepid, but it can't stand the big profits, and it's just started, the store is not well-known, and there are not many social dances, Serena spends time with her grandfather every day, meeting friends , very laid back.
