"Sister Yan...is Miss Zhu from the Zhenguo Palace? Is she also a member?"
"Well, Sister Yan thinks my business should be good, so she joins in the fun."
Geng Xingchen was a little envious. Even before she was born, her grandfather had resigned from the position of commander of the fourth-grade imperial southern guard due to a serious injury to his right leg before she was born. He was the fifth Earl of Anping, so his grandfather was the fifth. If we go, the plaque of Anping Bo Mansion will be taken back, and Anping Bo Mansion will disappear from the history of Daning in the future.
During the Zhenchang Incident fourteen years ago, my grandfather had no great achievements but minor faults. The new emperor at that time, His Majesty, thought of the merits of the Geng family ancestors and did not immediately take back the title. However, when my grandfather resigned as the commander of Yunanwei, he No attempt was made to save him.
According to the rank of his grandfather at that time, he could be kind to his son. Geng Xingchen once heard his father complain to his mother about this matter at home.
"We in Anping County are knighted by martial arts, and my father is also a military attache. My eldest brother and I have practiced martial arts diligently since childhood. We have been exposed to wind, sun, ice, snow and frost, and we have never complained about tiredness. My eldest brother's physique is slightly worse than mine, and his martial arts skills are also slightly worse. , but compared to three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, the second brother who is now unable to even stand on a horse is much better. Even if the Enyin quota is not given to me, I will still be convinced to choose the eldest brother. After all The eldest brother is the eldest son, why did it fall on him, Geng Cheng? He has so many virtues and abilities!"
Her father was dissatisfied with her second uncle being an official, and her mother didn't like her second aunt always pretending to be an official's wife in front of her. She herself was actually envious or jealous of her third sister, because her second uncle was an official, so she could often go out to attend banquets. Either with my second aunt, or by invitation, I got to know many official ladies, and even some noble ladies.
That's it, he often shows it off in front of her secretly. Don't think she can't tell if you don't tell her clearly.
Geng Xingchen originally thought that the fifth sister was just like him, not knowing many people and having few friends.
When did Fifth Sister become so familiar with Miss Zhu? She also knew Zhu Yan, but... it was just a casual encounter during an outing two years ago.
"Sixth sister, what about you, do you think my business at Mingshang Pavilion will be good?"
Geng Xingchen nodded, "I will definitely do it."
"Then Sixth Sister... do you want to join?" Geng Xingshuang felt that the time was almost up.
"I...can do it...I don't have any money..."
Geng Xingchen was happy at first, and then shook his head in disappointment.
Geng Xingshuang took Geng Xingchen's hand and said sincerely: "Sixth sister, why did I bring you to Mingshang Pavilion today? Is it just to show off to you, or to make a suggestion that you can't do for the time being? To stimulate. Excite you?"
Geng Xingchen turned her face away in embarrassment. For just a moment, she really thought about it like this, but it was only for a moment. As soon as the thought appeared, she killed it.
"I know Fifth Sister is not that kind of person."
If it were the third sister, it would still be the same, but the words rolled in Geng Xingchen's throat and he did not say it out.
"Sixth sister, you are good at making shoes... Well... I should say that I am very optimistic about your ability to design shoes. I can say that every pair of shoes you make is very beautiful. Each pair of shoes has its own uniqueness when paired with different clothes. My idea is that you can become a member of the society by making shoes. Not only do you do it yourself, but you certainly can’t do it that fast by yourself. You can bring apprentices. Sister Yan allocated a few nvhong craftsmen from the Zhenguo Palace. A good servant has transferred his contract to Mingshang Pavilion, and I am also going to recruit some more people. You can choose two or three of them, and you will take them to make shoes."
This year, because she often dreamed of a world where tall buildings almost reached the clouds and neon lights flashed into the night like day, Geng Xingshuang also went from the first fear and worry to the last calmness, and even from that world full of competition. Learn a lot of new things in the fast-paced world, including but not limited to knowledge, concepts, models, etc.
"A craftsman? No, no, it's too much to take advantage of Fifth Sister and Miss Zhu."
Geng Xingchen shook his head repeatedly.
Seeing her firm attitude, Geng Xingshuang didn't force it, but she still achieved her goal of bringing Geng Xingchen here today.
Although Geng Xingchen did not agree to join the Ming Shang Pavilion business with his shoemaking skills, he not only agreed to continue to exclusively supply Ming Shang Pavilion, but also agreed to provide apprentices to Ming Sang Pavilion for wages and repair work.
Mingshang Pavilion mainly sells ready-made clothes, shoes and socks, as well as some purses, sachets, handkerchiefs, silk flowers and other accessories. The rest, such as screens, curtains, door curtains and other large embroidery items, can be sold on consignment or by any embroiderer. If you are interested and have time to embroider well, you will naturally sell it.
For clothes, purses and other items, Geng Xingshuang has already found a professional tailor and embroiderer. She is quite good at tailoring and embroidery, but what she is best at is conceiving and matching current styles and colors.
Geng Xingshuang has had this ability since she was a child. The clothes she puts on, even with an extra fold at the hem, will look better than the original ones. Moreover, she has excellent painting skills, and she always has something good in her mind. ideas can be drawn immediately.
So she is not only the boss of Ming Shang Pavilion, but also a garment maker and embroiderer, and even a painter. But she prefers to say that in that world, she is a designer and pattern maker.
"But Mom, I'm back home. When the craftsmen arrive in the afternoon, just change it as I just said."
Before getting on the carriage, Geng Xingshuang told Dan's mother and Jiang Ping who were escorting them out. These two people were the companions of her mother Ruan and were now in charge of the renovation of Mingshang Pavilion.
There are also limited manpower. Although she has made some money in the past two years by selling clothes and shoes on consignment in other garment shops and embroidery shops, to run such a large shop requires not only money, but also people, not to mention her money. It's not that abundant. Now there is an extra amount of money to redeem half a roll and pandan.
The villain in Geng Xingshuang's heart kept rolling angrily, staring at the imaginary Mr.
"Don't worry, girl, I will take good care of them."
"Don't worry, girl. I will definitely let them repair it every inch according to the drawings given by the girl. When the girl comes back next time, it should be completely repaired."
Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Mom, you and Jiang Ping are here, don't let yourself be wronged when it comes to food."
Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen and Hua Lian had just entered the carriage when they heard a soft female voice coming from outside the carriage.
"But mom, is Sister Shuang here?"
Geng Xingshuang felt happy when she heard the voice. Without waiting for her mother to reply, she opened the car curtain and stuck her head out of the car.
"Sister Zhou, are you at the hospital today?"
"It's really you. My grandfather went to see a doctor today. My second brother called me to sit in the hall. Are you here to see the shop?"
Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Yes, bring my sixth sister over to see you too."
At this time, Geng Xingchen also stuck his head out. Geng Xingshuang wanted to rush back and didn't get out of the car, so he just walked in and out of the car to introduce the two of them.
"Sixth sister, this is Sister Xu from Yannian Hall. Her maiden name is Lianyang. The shopkeeper of Yannian Hall is Sister Xu's grandfather. Sister Xu, this is my sixth sister. You can just call her Sister Chen."
When Geng Xingchen was standing outside the Mingshang Pavilion store, he saw Yannian Hall, which was separated from Mingshang Pavilion by two stores.
The two of them greeted each other, and Geng Xingshuang said to Xu Lianyang: "Sister Xu, there is something going on at home today, so Sixth Sister and I will go back first, and we will come over to play with you another day."
"Okay, during this period, my grandfather often visits the doctor, and I am always at the hospital." Xu Lianyang also heard what her second brother said, and then she knew that the head of Mingshang Pavilion was here, so she hurried out to say hello.
