Huh?
Luo Qingzhou was confused and followed quietly.
Song Ruyue did not take her maid with her. After going out from the back door alone, she looked back again and then quickly walked out of the alley.
Crossing the street, she entered a clothing store opposite.
Luo Qingzhou stood at the entrance of the alley, secretly guessing.
After a while.
Song Ruyue came out of the shop, her face flushed and embarrassed.
The shop owner's wife followed behind and said sarcastically: "Shameless! You dare to sell any obscene clothes in my shop. Even if you give me money, don't even think about me hanging there. It's so embarrassing!"
Luo Qingzhou seemed to have guessed something.
Song Ruyue's face turned red, and she left in a hurry, walked some distance on the street, and suddenly stopped in front of another clothing store.
She struggled at the door and hesitated for a while, then suddenly walked in again.
Who knew the time would be shorter this time.
Not long after I entered, I immediately came out with a red face.
A woman who looked like a maid followed to the door and said with disdain: "Don't say give us one tael of silver. Even if you give us five taels of silver, don't even think about hanging there. We can't afford to lose that person. Who is so shameless?" It’s so shameless for a woman to fall in love with your obscene clothes!”
Song Ruyue held the clothes in her hands and ran away.
Luo Qingzhou stopped and stopped following her. Looking at her back that was ashamed and annoyed but still walking forward, he felt suddenly sad and guilty.
In order to help the family open a shop and make money, the mother-in-law risked all her dignity.
I obviously scolded the second lady and the others last night, saying that such clothes were shameless, but early this morning, I still took them out to various stores and tried them on.
From what the proprietress and maid said just now, I guess the mother-in-law wanted to hang her clothes there to see the customers' reactions, and even poured out her own money to hang them there, but she was scolded by them.
Judging from the situation, it seems that she has not given up yet and is ready to continue looking for the next store.
What was the reason why she clearly didn't like this kind of clothes and thought no one would buy them because they were obscene, but she suddenly wanted to try them?
Luo Qingzhou suddenly had a bold idea.
Could it be that after the mother-in-law scolded the second lady and the others last night, when she was about to throw away those clothes, she suddenly tried them on herself, and then suddenly discovered that those clothes were actually good, so she came out to try them out this morning?
It's very possible.
Otherwise, with the temperament of this mother-in-law, how could she disregard her face, show her face, and beg for help everywhere?
At the end of the day, it’s still about eating for the family.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Qingzhou decided to take the initiative to help his mother-in-law sell those clothes in order to restore her dignity and confidence.
When the time comes, when that kind of clothes suddenly become popular and everyone likes them in the streets and alleys, the shops just now will definitely be anxious, and then they will also start to purchase those clothes, and even start to imitate them. By then, won’t my mother-in-law be saved in one fell swoop? Losing dignity, even starting to laugh at them and ignore them?
If you ignore me today, I will make it impossible for you to reach me tomorrow.
If we can use the name of Nanguo County Prince's Palace to obtain the patent for this kind of clothes, then all the clothing stores in Kyoto will go to my mother-in-law to purchase goods. Wouldn't my mother-in-law be smiling from ear to ear?
Thinking of this, Luo Qingzhou immediately turned around and returned to the Qin Mansion.
When she returned to Meixiang Garden, Miss Qin Er had already gotten up and was talking to Qiu'er in her room.
Luo Qingzhou went directly to Xiaodie and asked her to give him two pairs of stockings and two pieces of obscene clothing.
Although Xiaodie was confused, she quickly took it out from the room and whispered: "Master, these are newly made by this servant and have not been worn yet. Master, please don't let your wife see it, otherwise I will I’m going to be scolded to death again.”
Luo Qingzhou nodded, and just as he was about to stuff it into his arms, Miss Qin came out of the room, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother Qingzhou, what are you doing?"
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to take out her underwear and stockings, pull her into the room, and then tell her the scene he just saw.
After hearing this, Miss Qin Er was a little surprised: "I didn't expect my mother to do such a thing. She spoke righteously last night and scolded me and Qiu'er so miserably."
Luo Qingzhou guessed: "Maybe after you left, my mother-in-law thought it was pretty good, so she went out to sell it this morning. After all, the store has just opened, and it will definitely need to come up with some clothes that are different from other stores in order to attract customers, otherwise there will be competition But it’s someone else’s.”
After speaking, he looked outside and said, "Okay, no more talking, it's time for me to leave."
Second Miss Qin glanced at the clothes in his hand and said, "Brother Qingzhou wants to go out to sell it in person?"
Luo Qingzhou stuffed the things into his arms and said: "Of course, if I don't go out and anyone goes out, you will all feel embarrassed, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing. I am quite thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter."
Second Miss Qin said worriedly: "Brother Qingzhou, I'm afraid you will be beaten."
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. When promoting new things, it's always like this at the beginning. I'll just start with acquaintances. At least I won't get beaten."
Second Miss Qin asked doubtfully: "Acquaintance?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything more, waved his hand and left quickly.
Not long after, we arrived at Alley 18 in the south of the city.
After waiting at the entrance of the alley for a while, Sister Dao, dressed in a smart outfit, with her silver hair tied into a ponytail, walked out with a large pancake in her hand, eating it, and walking out with her long legs.
As soon as I saw him, I immediately reached out and said: "Chu Feiyang, pay back the money."
Luo Qingzhou looked back and forth, then walked over and said, "Sister Dao, I don't have any money at the moment, but I have a few good things here. I can give a set to Sister Dao and treat it as interest. How about that?"
When Sister Dao heard this, she immediately said curiously: "What a good thing, take it out and let me see."
Luo Qingzhou was about to take it out when he suddenly looked at her and said, "Sister Dao, you swear first that you will not curse or hit anyone."
Sister Dao was stunned when she heard this, and said: "Why should I curse people? Why should I hit people? Even if your stuff is not good, it won't be bad, right?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Then you swear."
Sister Dao was speechless for a moment, and could only raise her hands and swear: "I swear, no matter whether Chu Feiyang's things are good or not, I will not hit or curse anyone."
Luo Qingzhou then took out a red bellyband with only a thin string tied in the middle, handed it to her, and said: "Sister Dao, I bought it specially for you. You can try it."
The air suddenly fell silent for a moment.
The next second, a furious curse and a "bang bang" sound of kicks and punches suddenly came from the alley.
"Shameless! Dirty! Shameless!"
"Dirty! Dirty! Unworthy of being a son of a man! Unworthy of being a scholar!"
"Don't run! I'll beat you to death!"
One of them ran, the other chased, and soon they were far away.
Until he turned into the alley leading to the martial arts school, Sister Dao was still aggrieved. She punched his back and arms from time to time, and also raised her long legs to kick his butt.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to fight back or dodge, and stopped in the alleyway: "Sister Dao, please calm down and listen to my explanation first. I am about to open a clothing workshop at home. This is a newly designed style, and everyone is too embarrassed to take it out. For promotion, I thought that I am familiar with Sister Dao, so I shamelessly took it out and wanted Sister Dao to give me some advice."
"boom!"
Sister Dao answered him with her fists and feet, and angrily shouted: "Obscene!"
Luo Qingzhou unfolded the bellyband in his hand and said, "I know it's obscene, but Sister Dao, take a closer look and tell the truth, doesn't it look good at all?"
"nausea!"
Sister Dao cursed again, then kicked him again, and said angrily: "Take it away! Don't show it in front of my eyes!"
Luo Qingzhou saw that she really didn't seem to be moved at all. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized: "Sister Dao is still a woman who has not left the court, and her thinking is relatively conservative. Naturally, she cannot see its merits. I should find someone else."
Thinking of this, he put it away and looked at Sister Dao's slender thighs.
"By the way, Sister Dao, stockings should be fine, right?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately took out another pair of white stockings, unfolded them in front of him, and said, "There are many women wearing stockings on the streets of Kyoto, but Sister Dao has probably never seen this kind of stockings, right? Sister Dao You see, there is a circle of blue and white stripes at the opening, some are knee-length, some are calf-level, and some are thigh-level, and if you touch them, they are very thick, so there is no problem in wearing them even in autumn and winter."
"Sister Dao, think about it carefully. Women all love beauty. When the weather is cold, their clothes are bulky. If they wear these stockings, they will not only look good, but also show off their slender thighs. There will definitely be many people wearing them. like."
"So I think this kind of socks will definitely have a huge market."
"Sister Dao, your legs are long and straight, can you try it on for me? When our store opens, Sister Dao can go and help. As for the wages... ah!"
Before Luo Qingzhou finished speaking, he covered his eyes and squatted on the ground.
Sister Dao clenched her fists and said angrily: "Even if I, Dao Ling, die of poverty or starvation, there is absolutely no way I can do such an obscene and shameful thing to make money!"
Luo Qingzhou covered his eyes, raised his head and said: "Sister Dao, we are a women's shop, only women are allowed in, it won't be too embarrassing. And wearing these kind of socks is a normal behavior, it is not indecent or shameless, you see Those stockings on the street..."
"Get out! Impossible!"
Sister Dao's face was full of anger, and she walked away quickly without waiting for him to finish speaking.
Luo Qingzhou sighed, stood up, rubbed his eyes, and murmured: "It seems that I can only find someone else. I will ask Senior Sister Nie and Little Junior Sister later. They should be easier to talk to."
Sister Dao walked a few steps and suddenly turned her head and said: "Chu Feiyang, your Princess Nangong has such a good figure and long legs. If you really want to sell this kind of clothes, you can go to her and try. I Seeing as she usually likes to wear stockings, given your relationship with her, she shouldn’t refuse, right? She might even be very happy and excited.”
Luo Qingzhou rubbed his eyes and said: "Sister Dao, please don't harm me. She is more violent than you. If I dare to talk to her about something, you may not be able to see me tomorrow."
Sister Dao raised her eyebrows and said: "How do you know if you don't try it? She is very passionate about you. If you are really beautiful in these things, she will definitely wear them for you to see. And as long as you feel beautiful, I think she should Will wear it."
Luo Qingzhou decisively refused: "Sister Dao, do you want to trick me? I'm not that stupid. When the time comes that you will be whipped by her and covered with whip marks and blood, you will probably laugh and say you deserve it, and call me an idiot. right?"
"idiot!"
Sister Dao cursed in advance and left quickly.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the stockings in his hand, sighed again, and then followed.
The first person to eat crab needs great courage.
Xiaodie doesn't count, and Qiu'er doesn't count either. He has to let other women wear it and fall in love with it before he has a chance to sell it.
But who dares to eat this crab first?
Of course, those who persuade others to eat crabs also need great courage and extraordinary tongue, otherwise why should others eat them?
He must have a good tongue, otherwise he wouldn't be liked by so many girls.
So, he definitely has a chance.
Even the proud mother-in-law put down her dignity and went out to sell in stores. As a dignified man of the Qin family, what did he fear?
Of course he has to keep working hard.
When they reached the entrance of the martial arts hall, Zhou Boyue and Chu Xiaoxiao happened to be walking over from the opposite alley.
When Luo Qingzhou saw Zhou Boyue, he suddenly thought that tomorrow is the birthday of Junior Brother Zhou's mother-in-law. How about giving him such a generous gift?
As soon as the idea came out, he almost slapped himself.
Don't hurt your little brother Bo Yue, you will die!
His eyes looked at the petite and cute Chu Xiaoxiao next to him. This girl has always been carefree and easy to talk to. He can sell her later, and at least he won't get beaten.
"Ah, Senior Brother Chu, what happened to your eyes? Were you beaten? Who hit you? Tell Junior Sister and Junior Sister will avenge you!"
As soon as Chu Xiaoxiao came over, he immediately started making noises.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Sister Dao beat me."
Chu Xiaoxiao said: "Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Zhou's mother-in-law celebrates her birthday tomorrow night. Let's make an appointment where to meet and then go there together. What gifts are Senior Brother Chu going to give?"
Zhou Boyue quickly stood aside and said awkwardly: "Actually, I just wanted to ask you to come over and have a meal to have some fun. No need to give gifts."
Chu Xiaoxiao said: "That's not possible. We give gifts to give ourselves face, and to give you face, Senior Brother Zhou. If we leave empty-handed, your mother-in-law will not only look down on us, but also look down on you."
Zhou Boyue whispered: "She looked down on me to begin with..."
Luo Qingzhou patted him on the shoulder and said: "The gift must be given, don't worry, we can just watch and give it ourselves."
The three of them talked and entered the door. When they went to greet the master, they happened to meet Sister Dao coming out.
Sister Dao glared at someone with a cold face, and left quickly without speaking to the three of them.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked confused: "What happened to Senior Sister Dao? Was she scolded by the master?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "It must be."
After the three people went in to say hello, they came out and prepared to go to their respective martial arts fields to practice.
After Luo Qingzhou waited for Zhou Boyue to leave, he followed Chu Xiaoxiao and went to the martial arts training ground with her.
Chu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him doubtfully and said, "Senior Brother Chu, do you want to practice here? Then I will go elsewhere."
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Little junior sister, I have something to ask you."
Chu Xiaoxiao turned around and said, "Senior Brother Chu, just tell me what's the matter."
Luo Qingzhou glanced around and whispered: "Little junior sister, I have some good things here that I want to show you. Can we go to the house over there?"
Chu Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "What good thing?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "You will know when you go there. If you like it, I can give you a set for free. Then you can take it home and show it to your sisters or mother. If they like it, I can also give it to you for free." Give them a set.”
When Chu Xiaoxiao heard this, he immediately said happily: "Really? Thank you, Senior Brother Chu. Senior Brother Chu is so generous."
After saying that, he immediately became excited and couldn't wait to follow him towards the hut over there.
As soon as the two left, Sister Dao came out from around the corner.
