After Qin Ming and his party came out of Caiyun Tower, they went to the Nishang Pavilion, which was famous in Dongshi and even in Chang'an City.
As you can tell from the name, this Nishang Pavilion is a shop selling women's dresses and embroidered shoes.
It is said that even the nobles and concubines in the palace often send their maids to come to the Colorful Pavilion to buy clothes.
So much so that when the ladies in Chang'an City attend palace celebrations or go out to meet their close friends, they like to wear the dresses from Nichang Pavilion.
Moreover, Qin Ming also heard that the origin of the owner of Nishang Pavilion is still very mysterious, and he has a huge backing!
Qin Mingzhi found out that the other party's surname was Zheng, and she was a very beautiful woman!
After Qin Ming and his party entered the Nishang Pavilion, Qin Ming followed the same pattern and asked the servants to bring the best dresses and embroidered shoes in the pavilion into the box.
Then let Xiao Qingwan and the three girls start choosing!
After Xiao Qingwan finished selecting the girls, Qin Ming repeated his feat in Caiyun Tower!
With a wave of his hand, he bought all the exquisitely crafted dresses and shoes in the Nishang Pavilion.
The whole process was smooth and domineering!
The only thing that made Qin Ming feel a little regretful was that he didn't see the legendary and beautiful landlady!
Xiao Qingwan did not stop Qin Ming's behavior this time, and even agreed with it.
Because Xiao Qingwan knew that her aunt had been silently planning these days to bring the women on Zhuangzi together.
Establish a large-scale textile workshop integrating spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, cutting, embroidery and sewing.
When I got back to Zhuangzi, I happened to take these most popular clothes in Chang'an City as a reference for my aunt.
There is a reason why Xiao Changxi had this idea.
Xiao Changxi was born in the Xiao family of Lanling and received good training and education since she was a child.
Not only is he proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but his embroidery skills are even more impressive.
When she first arrived at the Qin Mansion last year, she was arranged by Qin Ming to make down jackets.
In order to complete the things arranged by Qin Ming, she organized a dozen embroiderers in the backyard of Qin Mansion to set up a small down jacket workshop.
Later, after the down jacket was finished, this small workshop started making long-leg cotton socks.
Not long ago, Fushang's cotton socks even reached a strategic partnership with Li's Garment Shop in Chang'an City.
Of course, if it was just to add another property to the family, Xiao Changxi wouldn't make such a big fuss.
What really made Xiao Changxi decide to do this was mainly because of two things that happened later.
The first thing happened last month. At that time, the queen's personal maid Yuechan, with a team of soldiers, sent a large amount of cotton seeds to the Qin Mansion.
Qin Ming was very excited after seeing the cotton seeds. Then Xiao Changxi was asked to purchase a large amount of farmland around Qinjiazhuang.
Afterwards, Qin Ming also told Xiao Changxi that he would plant a large amount of cotton after the spring of this year.
In Qin Ming's words at the time, he wanted to build a cotton base.
In this way, when the cotton matures, someone will naturally be needed to make it into finished products and sell them.
The second thing happened not long ago.
Once when Xiao Changxi went to the small courtyard to find Qin Ming, she met many women carrying buckets to the construction site.
So when Xiao Changxi arrived at the courtyard, she found an opportunity to ask the maid Mei Xin why there were so many women working in the village.
As a result, Mei Xin told her that most of those women were widows, and a small number of them came from their own village, but most of them were refugees who came to the village last year.
Because they lost their men, they had no choice but to work on their own to support the elderly and children at home.
Xiao Changxi was speechless for a long time after hearing this. She couldn't help but think of the dilemma she encountered when she first arrived in Chang'an!
[Isn’t it true that I had to sell myself to survive in order to keep my daughter alive? 】
[If I hadn’t met Qin Lang at the beginning, maybe I would be like those women, working hard for survival and for my daughter! 】
Thinking of this, Xiao Changxi decided to do her part to help them, so that these women can live easier!
So Xiao Changxi soon came up with the idea of setting up a garment workshop.
Later, when Xiao Changxi mentioned this idea to Qin Ming, Qin Ming immediately agreed.
And Qin Ming also gave her some suggestions, so that she does not need to be limited to cutting and sewing clothes, but can also include spinning and weaving.
Qin Ming even secretly drew drawings for the textile workshop. Now he is just waiting for the construction of the Changlan cement road to be completed so that the young men in Zhuangzi can free up their hands.
The Qin Mansion is about to start planning to build a large textile workshop.
...
At the end of Shen Shi
Qin Da drove his carriage and turned into Peach Blossom Lane of Xingdaofang. He was about to arrive home.
Unexpectedly, when the carriage passed by Xiao Mansion, it was stopped by a group of Jinwu guards wearing armor.
"Stop! Stop! Get off the horse!"
Qin Da pulled on the reins, raised his hands to the Jinwu guards who were blocking the way, and said doubtfully:
"May I ask why Marquis Wu wanted to stop someone?"
The Jinwu Guards had serious expressions, with a captain standing in front. He patted the saber on his waist and sneered:
"If I tell you to stop, just stop. Where does all this nonsense come from!"
"Your carriage looks weird, and there is something wrong with it. Is there anyone in the car? Anyone who knows the situation should get out of the car immediately! Now I suspect that there is something wrong with your carriage, and we want to conduct a routine search!"
When Qin Da, Jin Yi and others heard this, they all glared angrily at the Wu Commander in front of them.
Qin Da even pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed the sharp sword tip at the corps commander and cursed:
"Fuck you! You are the only one who has the problem! Your whole family has problems! The son of a certain family is the county boy who was personally conferred by the saint. Let's see who dares to make a mistake!"
The captain of the Jinwu Guards, who was born and raised and heard that the other party was just a small county boy, couldn't help but sneered. He turned his head and waved to the Jinwu Guards who stretched out his hand.
"Brothers, load up your arrows!"
"promise."
When the captain finished speaking, the Jinwu guards behind him all had solemn expressions on their faces. They all pulled out bows and arrows from their backs and placed them on the standard horn bows.
Pretend to be ready.
The corps commander nodded with satisfaction, then turned to stare at Qin Da and said with a sarcastic face:
"Don't mention that the person in the car is a troubled county boy. Even if the county prince is here, you have to listen to me and get out of the way if you know what you are looking for. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
After speaking, the captain raised his arm again, making a look that would let someone shoot an arrow at any time.
When Qin Da and others heard this, their eyes turned red instantly and they stared at the corps commander.
Qin Da's hands had veins popping out, and he was about to rush down and fight the opponent desperately!
In the eyes of Qin Da and others, this person not only uttered evil words, but also insulted others in his words!
And he actually dared to let someone point an arrow at the carriage behind him and threaten the young master's life!
Damn it!
Seeing that the dozen or so Jin Wu guards in front were all equipped with bows and arrows, Jin Yi and others also drew their swords from their waists.
The reason why Qin Ming gave his retinues swords instead of knives was because Tang law stipulated that civilians were not allowed to enter the city with swords, they could only wear swords!
