Today, Nanny Ming still remembers Le'er's overjoyed face at that time, her eyes were shining brightly, holding a piece of jade pendant and refusing to let go: "He said that when the time is right, he will tell the Queen Mother that he will marry me."

Others persuaded her: "You are a court lady, and that person is a member of the royal family. Even if you are married, you can only be a concubine. Why bother?"

Le'er's eyes were full of longing: "You don't understand, we are giving each other sincerely, don't understand."

It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, the important thing is that a few months later, the two of them were caught by the eunuch next to the queen mother in a private meeting in Fengxiang Pavilion, and the queen mother was furious. It's good to take the responsibility on yourself.

But he just tried to comfort the queen mother, and when the queen mother ordered someone to drag that "hume who seduced the prince" down and beat him to death with a stick, he indifferently moved aside, so that the eunuch could drag him out.

Le'er refused to accept that the prince would do this until she died. She clutched the jade pendant and kept her eyes wide open.

All the maids in the Empress Dowager's Palace were gathered together and knelt down in a corner of the yard. The manager said, "The old empress dowager will show you what happens when you seduce your master", and gathered them together in a corner of the execution yard, watching Le'er Was blamed.

Nanny Ming and Nanny Xi could only kneel and watch, Le'er's flesh was already ripped apart after a few strokes, Nanny Ming couldn't take it anymore, she went to the eunuch in charge to beg him to beg the master but was kicked away by him. At that time, there was no dignity, so naturally I could only cry and watch Le'er being beaten to death.

Until the last breath, Le'er was still holding the jade pendant tightly in her hand. When the body was being restrained, Nanny Ming quietly took the jade pendant out of her hand, and told her family members to bury her with her along the way.

Ding Dang jade pendant rains in the third watch, where will the fickleness go tomorrow.

The two were immersed in the memories of the past and couldn't extricate themselves, and the room was full of depression. It took a long time for the two of them to come back to their senses, and they both sighed.

Mammy Xi paused for a moment and explained: "This girl Qingwen understands, she should explain this truth to the maids in the yard, so that she won't waste her life, even if the girl listens to those two sentences, she will benefit a little bit." .”

Speaking of Qingwen, Nanny Ming showed some smiles: "That girl is a woman who has made a decision, but I don't know who she will find in the future."

Mother Xi joked: "Look at her talking about carpenters and butchers today, if she should be on this in the future, she can give you and me a pair of pigs during festivals."

Thinking of that scene, Nanny Ming laughed out loud: "You old man! I was thinking about pigs going into the water, and I took care of the little girl just to wait for Babaer to give you a bite to eat."

The two were used to joking around, and Madam Xi didn't get angry: "You, you, if you can't stand this pickle, you can't enjoy that delicious food."

Not to mention how the two nuns recalled the past, but Qingwen was doing accounts in the room.

Her abacus was crackling, and Zijuan urged her with a smile: "Hurry up and do it outside, and don't disturb the girl's study."

Daiyu was clutching a collection of poems in her hand, Qingwen realized that the sound of her abacus could be regarded as disturbing the people, she hurriedly stopped her hands, and wanted to take the abacus outside, but she heard Daiyu say: "No need. , so that’s good. It sounds a little elegant to me like this, the ancients said, 'sitting around the night and bright moon, while the ghost plays the plain piano'. Today I am 'sitting around the night and the moon, and the ghost plays the abacus'."

Zijuan said: "Miss Pian hurts this hoof, how is it like a guqin?"

Daiyu shook her head: "This abacus has no sense of wind, temperament, and air. Qingwen played it vigorously. The strings and drums, and the golden sound echoed with jade. It is quite like the wind of a guqin. Waving your hand for me is like listening to the pine trees in the ten thousand valleys. .”

What he said made all the maids in the room laugh.Qingwen also laughed. Cultural people pay attention to bamboo shades covering a few qins and books, and flowers scenting windows, pens and inkstones. Naturally, Daiyu is also elegant, but her elegance is more advanced, and she actually uses abacus as a guqin.

At that moment, Qingwen proudly said to Daiyu, "Young lady, you have good ears. I specially asked the master to make this abacus. The frame is made of wood, the inside is made of straight columns, the frame is made of rosewood, and the beads are made of red sandalwood. .”

Xue Yuan curled her lips: "Girl listened to her nonsense, according to what she said, when the scholar Dongpo was so elegant, he said that a piece of piano, a pot of wine, and a stream of clouds, why didn't he write a pair of abacus, a pot of wine, and a stream of clouds?" cloud?"

Qingwen thinks about it, it's also interesting, it's really interesting to drink and make plans by the stream in the valley with fluttering clouds.Immediately clapping hands: "This is a good idea."

Immediately, he left the boudoir and went down the corridor to give orders to the little maids.

In a short while, a little maid came in with fruit, tea and food. After careful inspection, it turned out to be dozens of small Ding kiln dishes, which contained various fresh fruits, flower cakes, snacks, and side dishes. Daiyu wondered: "What's going on with this girl today?"

Although Xuefeng and Qingwen were somewhat at odds, at this time she also smiled and helped her talk: "Girl, let's all have fun for a while, it's okay."

Zijuan went up to pour tea for Daiyu first, but found that the tea was not poured out of the pot brought up, so she asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Drinking tea so late is not afraid of falling asleep, why not drink some fruit drink." It turned out that Qingwen ordered the cook to mash the watermelon with a stone pestle, filter out the residue, and serve only the juice.

Daiyu was curious: "It must be very delicious."

But Qingwen didn't dare to let Daiyu drink more, her body hasn't recuperated well, and now she is about to recover, it would be a big deal to drink a cup of watermelon juice rashly, so she just poured her a small teacup and passed it over: "Young lady, please satisfy your gluttony. Don’t let it be too much, next time you want to drink it, you can drink it at noon on a hot day, it doesn’t matter if it’s colder then.”

Daiyu took a sip and it was really sweet, and said with a smile: "It's so expensive."

Qingwen's eyes widened: "Watermelon is really not something you can eat casually. The Emperor of Later Shu, Meng Chang, ate a tooth of watermelon in the summer because of his greedy cold. Everyone said that Zhao Kuangyin poisoned Meng Chang to death. In my opinion, it is not. Maybe it's because of the scapegoat for Watermelon."

The maids laughed and laughed, and Daiyu almost choked on watermelon juice: "This girl is tricky, and you are the first one to complain for Zhao Taizu through the ages."

Qingwen smiled: "Hehe, I follow the girl and follow the girl."

At present, the night wind was blowing, the maids spread out the tables in the house, Xuehe was good at playing the piano, and volunteered to play the piano in the courtyard, the master and servants opened the windows, listened to the sound of the piano, and chatted leisurely, very leisurely.

The beautiful scenery on a good day is a pleasure, so Qingwen naturally thought of something serious: report the recent business situation to the girl.

She picked up a glass of watermelon juice and began to grieve: "Girl, just now I did some calculations about the operation of our Yijiangnan Silk and Satin Workshop, and found that the income is much lower than expected."

"?" Daiyu never liked to hear about wealth and money, but the maids down here were all anxious, and they were part of this, so why did they get so dirty?

Qingwen calculated: "Let's start with a total cost of 3000 taels of silver to open a store, of which 400 taels a year for the storefront. The assistants don't need to spend money, and the shopkeeper's annual salary is 50 taels of silver. The cost of delivery can be ignored because it is commonly used by the Lin family. The silk workshop spent 500 taels of silver, and now there are still many weavers hired. Our store only welcomes dozens of customers, but those workers can't stop the silver. loss share."

Daiyu waved her hand: "It's just for fun, you guys who put in the share money, go back to my private account to get it back, don't feel bad about it." Naturally, she didn't put the money in her heart, and she was sympathetic to the maid They, so be merciful to make up for it.

Qingwen didn't believe this evil: "Girl, please, give me another chance."

She has carefully calculated that the biggest mistake she made in the early days was ignoring consumers. Consumers in this era are completely different from those in ancient times, and their loyalty to old stores is beyond her imagination, so they must pay attention to marketing.

"Girl, I also want to ask you to show me, can some workers in the silk reeling factory be fired? Please come back when we recall Jiangnan's growth?"

Daiyu shook her head: "It's about the reputation of the Lin Mansion. It's absolutely impossible. Why don't we let the workers weave as usual, and if the cloth can't be sold, our mansion will bring it as a gift. Every mansion must have this piece." expenditure."

There is no way to do this, Qingwen understands that feudal society naturally cannot act like she did in the commodity society in her previous life, so she agrees, but tries to make up for it in other ways.

This night, both the master and the servant were happy, and Daiyu teased Qingwen when she was about to leave: "I am drunk and want to sleep, and I will go, and the Ming Dynasty intends to make plans." I don't believe it, I can suffer such setbacks in ancient times.She thought about the strategic positioning of the store, listed the biggest expenses at present, and then analyzed the main consumer groups, and finally got a solution in her mind.

The next day, Qingwen started to make arrangements. First, they cut down all the ready-to-wear businesses in Yijiangnan. It turned out that they not only sold cloth, but also sold fashionable ready-made clothes. They also raised a few by themselves like other cloth shops. A big tailor usually takes custom orders.

But now it seems that the operation was too messy in the early stage, which is not conducive to finding the right position in the hearts of customers, but also increases operating costs.

Mammy Xi and Xueying were very sorry, they were good at needlework, so naturally they wanted to keep them, so Qingwen had no choice but to comfort them: "We will add these back when the shop becomes famous."

The second move is to increase marketing.Qingwen made leaflets in Jiangsu in advance, and then sent someone to transport them to the capital, so that the employees of Yijiangnanli went to the nearby streets to distribute them. On the leaflets, cloth was painted, and Jiangnan painting boats were drawn. I drew a simple address, which is also good-looking even if it is usually used for posting.

It costs a lot of money just to make the leaflets. Ancient paper and pens are not cheap. Fortunately, the maids in Daiyu's house can draw a few strokes. Stop it, this era is still a bit particular, it is a big deal for Miss Boudoir's calligraphy and paintings to spread outside.

Fortunately, Qingwen's designs are all stick figures, and it took only a day for the maids to do it together.

The author has something to say: about distributing leaflets, I suddenly think of Japan. There is one person who distributes leaflets, one who supervises him to distribute leaflets, and another supervisor who effectively completes the distribution of leaflets, so that the leaflets will not be stuffed into the garbage bucket.It feels like a sand sculpture news hahaha.
