There are 38 cities in the twelve prefectures of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Jiangnan County is located in the southeast and is famous for its rich mountains and forests and silk brocades.However, in Jiangnan County, there is only one family that deserves the mercy of the heavens. Out of more than a hundred embroidery villages, it produces [-] pieces of fabric every year and pays tribute to the imperial court.

The plaque of Jiangnan Peijia Embroidery Village in Jiankangfang, Longcheng was still written by Mr. Meng Chang himself. Compared with the arty style of Yunxiufang and Hongxiu Pavilion, the four "Jiangnan Peijia" alone are enough to shock the world.Although the Pei family has a great business, but the ancestors did not know what kind of bad luck happened. Mr. Pei had five brothers in his generation, and three of them died when they were accumulating the family fortune, leaving only Mr. Pei and the youngest fifth brother.Mr. Pei married eight concubines, but his knees were not flourishing, and there were only three children.The fifth younger brother is even more miserable. He is already at the age of knowing his fate and has no children.

In the seventh year of Taiyuan, Chen Guyue became famous all over the world. When Mr. Pei's second son was a hot-blooded teenager, he went to Longcheng by river to seek an official career despite his family's obstruction.The sky failed to fulfill people's wishes, and the big boat suddenly encountered a storm in the middle of the river. There were more than [-] people on the boat and none of them survived.Mr. Pei heard the bad news at home and couldn't get sick. When the body of the second son was sent back to Jiangnan County one month later, everyone was rotten into mud, and Mr. Pei almost died.

Fortunately, Mr. Pei still has a pair of promising sons and daughters left. The eldest son and the fifth-ranked uncle work together to keep the family affairs in order, and the family business is getting bigger and bigger.The third daughter was clever and smart since she was a child, and followed her second brother's last wish to open a shop in Gyeonggi to do business, and her life became more and more prosperous.It stands to reason that it would not be difficult for the Pei family to become a century-old family if it continues to develop like this, but at this moment they met a strange person.

Shen Yuxin wandered around Jiankangfang for half a day, and naturally got the permission of the eighth princess.She inquired from the street to the end of the street, and she only asked one thing: Who in this street has the best clothes?Those who asked, whether they were passers-by or shopkeepers, raised their hands and said, "See, the one with the scariest plaque on the street is that."

"Jiangnan Pei's embroidery shop?" The sun was a bit bright today, Shen Yu covered her forehead with her hands, squinted her eyes to see why this embroidery shop was called scary.There is a chapter printed on the lower left corner of the gold-plated plaque, and four small characters are engraved in the chapter-Mr. Mengchang.

Yu Mengren, styled Mengchang, nicknamed Mr. Mengchang, one of the three poems of Qingmoyuan, good at calligraphy.

"It's scary enough..." Shen Yuxin stroked Yimapingchuan's chest, swallowed and walked inside.

The little maid in the shop has delicate features and delicate features, and she has the unique flavor of Jiangnan. When she met the general manager, she invited her in and began to tailor clothes for Shen Yuxin without stopping. The new style that just came out a few days ago, if you don’t have a figure like a girl, you really can’t control it, can you give it a try, girl?”

As the old saying goes, it's easy to reach out and not hit the smiling face, let alone such a cute little girl, Shen Yuxin pushed and said submissively: "No...no, I'm not here to pick out clothes today."

The little maid was not annoyed either, she smiled generously and asked, "If you dare to ask Miss, what is your business?"

Shen Yu looked around suspiciously, and there seemed to be only one maid in such a big shop, so she asked, "I don't know if your shopkeeper is here?"

Little did they know that there were not four or five, but ninety people who came to the shop every day looking for people.Some came here for fame, some came to tailor clothes, and some even came to propose marriage.The little girl who was used to it immediately changed her face, issued the order to chase away the guests, and said in a haughty manner: "The shopkeeper is not here, not today, and not tomorrow."

"When will you be there then?" Shen Yu was unwilling to return empty-handed.

"I'm not here anytime. If the girl doesn't choose clothes, don't bother people to do business. Please come back." The little maid's expression was serious.

Shen Yuxin thought about it secretly, she wanted to hang on but was afraid of leaving the impression of a rascal, after all, she wanted something from others, so she gave up on it.She took out a piece of paper from her chest, handed it to the little maid, and said as gently as possible: "Well, I have a blueprint here, please ask sister to pass it to your shopkeeper, and I will come to visit tomorrow."

The little maid was obviously not very experienced in the world, so she was about to open it after receiving it.Shen Yuxin hurriedly stopped her, and said with an apologetic smile: "The contents of this paper can only be shown to your shopkeeper. Don't worry, I have no malicious intentions."

"Why should I believe you?" The little maid was quite clever.

Shen Yuxin had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, saying: "This is a blueprint of the clothes style, you can read it if you want, find a place where no one is around and read it by yourself."

The little maid stared at Shen Yuxin for a while, then put away the drawing, and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I will pass it to the shopkeeper for you."

"Thank you very much then." Shen Yu bowed heartily, "Farewell."

The woman made a bow, and the little maid was stunned for a while, feeling suspicious.She took out the blueprint and looked at it for a while, and finally restrained her curiosity.The young lady said that being away from home is worse than being at home, and you should pay more attention to everything.But after looking at the blueprint, the young lady decided to meet the person who sent it without saying a word, and she lost half of her usual stability.After the little maid said that she had left, the young lady was a little lost.

On the second day, at a moment before Si time, the lady who never showed up went to the shop early to wait.The strange woman who bowed came as promised, and the little maid lost her arrogance of pushing people away yesterday, and led Shen Yuxin to the back hall of the shop.

I have seen Song Mingyue's shameful flowers in a closed moon, I have also seen Qu Xixi's sinking fish and falling geese, and the eighth princess's national beauty and heavenly fragrance.Shen Yuxin thought that no matter how difficult it is for a woman to be compared with the three, but when she saw the shopkeeper of Jiangnan Peijia Embroidery Village, Shen Yuxin was still a little lost.

What is Xiaojiabiyu, I feel pity.He is talking about the woman in front of her, her every move is as gentle as jade, her frowns and smiles are tactful, and she is inadvertently seductive.

Shen Yu bowed in a bewildered stare, "I am loyal."

The woman covered her mouth and snickered, and saluted and said, "Little girl, Pei Lanxuan." After speaking, the woman looked at Shen Yu with a hearty smile without saying a word, and looked at her for a long time.

Shen Yuxin was obsessed with painting portraits, but she had been disheartened for a while because all women in the world were beautiful and ugly.After seeing Song Mingyue Quxi Zhao Huan, a beautiful woman with her own merits, she regained her interest.The woman in front of her was different from those three people, Shen Yu wished to take a second look and engrave this woman's facial features into her heart.She was engrossed and took a step unconsciously.

Pei Lanxi had never met such a person before. After coming to Longcheng, she had to deal with all kinds of people in order to open a shop. She was very familiar with whether she wanted her beauty or her family background.But this bowing woman looked at her with strange eyes, not as if she was looking at people, but as if she was peeping into her heart, it was creepy.

Just when Shen Yu was about to take the second step, Pei Lan called out, "Mr. Danxin."

Shen Yuxin regained consciousness immediately, her pretty face flushed, and she said shyly: "I'm being rude, I hope the girl will forgive me. It's really that the girl is a bit beautiful, so I couldn't hold it back for a while."

Don't say it's a man, even if Shen Yuxin is a woman, she would be annoyed if she stared at someone so recklessly.However, this person was outspoken and admitted straightforwardly, which made the victim Pei Lanchen dumbfounded.

"Sir, is Mr. Danxin who is the picture of the princess getting married?" In order to prevent the embarrassment in the house from spreading, Pei Lanzhi changed the subject and asked.

"Yes, have you ever looked at the drawings that the girl sent yesterday?" Shen Yuxin didn't dare to commit a crime blatantly, her eyes wandered around the room, and finally landed on the desk behind Pei Lanxuan.

Following her gaze, Pei Lanzhen turned around and picked up the paper on the table, which was the blueprint sent by Shen Yuxin yesterday.On it is a sample of a set of women's clothing. The upper body is a narrow-sleeved blouse with a small stand-up collar, and the lower body is a long skirt that looks like a skirt and trousers. The waist is equipped with a two-finger-thick leather tight ring, decorated with tassels.Just looking at the blueprints makes me feel heroic, but I don't know how beautiful it is when I wear it on my body.

Pei Lanzhen erected the drawing in front of Shen Yuxin, looked at the drawing and then at Shen Yuxin, and couldn't help asking: "May I ask, sir, who made this drawing?"

Seeing the unconcealable amazement in Pei Lan's eyes, Shen Yu stood with her hands behind her back, nodded slightly, and said triumphantly, "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you."

Pei Lanzhen looked at her in a daze for a while, then smiled: "These days people in Chongwen Street are talking about Mr., saying that Mr. is a century-old genius. Pei Lanzhen thought they were exaggerated, but I just found out when I saw her today. Those scholars who talk all day long also have a time when they say what they say."

Now it was Shen Yu's turn to be overwhelmed with self-satisfaction, she said with a sneer, "Miss Liao Zan, I actually learned this from others, it's not my own skill."

However, Pei Lanxi defended her understandingly: "What other people have learned is also Mr.'s ability, why don't others learn it?"

Why does this compliment sound like a curse?Stealing a teacher to learn art is also costly?Shen Yuxin only dared to slander and laugh, pointed to the top in the painting and said: "Let's not talk about this first, the girl looked at this top carefully, there is a layer of light gauze on the outside, if the embroidery lines inside are shallow, it will be useless, if it is deep, it will be useless." There is a faintly visible surprise, so the material of this dress and the embroidery work have to be refined, I wonder how sure the girl is?"

Pei Lanzhen pondered for a moment, and said: "The material is the most suitable Thoreau Qi, which is unique to Jiangnan County. It is light and easy to embroider. As for the embroidery, we will not know whether to use Suzhou embroidery or Wen embroidery."

Shen Yuxin gave a half-comprehension sound, and habitually wanted to pat Pei Lanyu on the shoulder, but in an instant she reacted angrily and withdrew her hand, and said with a smile, "According to the girl's estimation, how many days will it take to make the clothes?"

"Ban Yue, the pattern is not complicated, and it will take ten days at the earliest." Pei Lanxi said without thinking.

Shen Yuxin took out a small ingot of gold and put it on the desk, "This is the deposit, then I will wait for the good news from Shopkeeper Pei."

"Sir!" Pei Lan called Shen Yuxin who was about to leave, and said sincerely: "If this dress is finished, the little girl dare not charge you any money, can you add new clothes for the Pei family?"

Shen Yuxin frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "We will talk about it when the time comes, there is no need to send each other off."

The daughter of merchants, interests come first.This veritable Xiaojiabiyu has a vicious gaze, and she won't let go easily if she seizes the opportunity.Shen Yuxin entered the princess mansion as a guest, and if she wanted to earn money by selling paintings, she would have to agree with the eighth princess. Rather than seeking the pure-hearted and ascetic-looking princess who doesn't know the sufferings of the people, it is better to be self-reliant.After entering the palace, there must be a place to spend money, and the source of wealth cannot be cut off.

"Jiangnan County, Pei Lanyu..." Shen Yuxin walked on the street, squinted her eyes and looked at the sky, and murmured with a smile, "Little girl, you have a lot of ambition..."
