Chapter 73 Chapter 73(2/3)
What to do if you trip and fall.
Zhang Tinglu paused for a moment, turned around, patted her head and said sheepishly: "By the way, Fujin, you are still in the yard." Then she hurried back and accompanied Fujin into the house with her second brother.
After all, Ms. Yao was not feeling well. She became drowsy after staying in the room for a while and couldn't cheer up.
Zhang Tingyu sent his wife back to her room.
Zhang Tingzhan stayed by the side and said nothing.
There is a big age difference between him and his younger brothers, and they can't talk to each other. Occasionally, he seems to be teaching his younger brothers to correct themselves like an elder scolding his younger ones.
Now that his younger brother and sister were sick and uncomfortable there, he, as the uncle, could not say or do anything. Seeing his younger brother and sister leave, he also left in silence.
Zhang Tinglu and Fujin said goodbye before leaving.
After a while, only the female family members were left in the house.
Zhang Tingzhan is calm and honest, Zhang Tingyu is elegant and romantic, and Zhang Tinglu is gentle and shy. They are all excellent men.
Luo Jianing couldn't help but praise: "Madam, all the children you have raised are outstanding. They are indeed the sons of Mr. Zhang's family. They are indeed different from ordinary people."
"Si Fujin is ridiculous!" Mrs. Zhang felt a little embarrassed and took Si Fujin's hand: "These children are only obedient and obedient when they meet outsiders. They don't know how to cause trouble at ordinary times."
Both mothers have given birth to sons, and they know how difficult it is to raise these little monkeys.
Luo Jianing sighed: "They are naughty at home because of your kindness, Madam. No matter how old they are, they are Madam's children, so naturally they have to be more relaxed when dealing with you. They are reserved when others are around them, and they will only act mischievously in front of you.
"
Mrs. Zhang is old and likes to hear this, not to mention what Si Fujin said is indeed true: "Fu Jin still understands me."
After Mr. Yao left, the luncheon started not long after.
Everyone congratulated the old birthday star and congratulated him on his birthday, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful again.
Luo Jianing left after lunch.
Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang was reluctant to leave and kept inviting Si Fujin to play at home when she was free.
Luo Jianing took advantage of the situation and said: "The fourth master will hold a banquet at home in a few days. I also invite the young men of your house to come to our house when they are free and have a drink with the fourth master."
"Definitely." Mrs. Zhang said: "Sir Brother has always been kind to our family, and the dogs will definitely come to visit us."
Regardless of Si Fujin's obstruction, Mrs. Zhang personally escorted Si Fujin to the car and watched the car drive away.
It's still early in the morning, and the afternoon sun is still shining brightly in the sky, flooding the streets with its blazing rays.
Luo Jianing thought that since she was out, she might as well use her time effectively and decided to go to the shop to have a look.
She first went to the silk and satin shop she owned with Brother Jiu.
The newly recruited accountant in the silk shop is named Cheng Hu. He is good at arithmetic and can do a good job in accounting.
However, after many inquiries, Luo Jianing chose this person who had just left his hometown and came to the capital. It is said that he worked as an accountant in his hometown. Now he came to the capital, firstly to seek refuge with his relatives, and secondly to find a good job.
Make some money.
As for whether his character is really as good as the introducer said, it remains to be discussed and needs to be observed for a period of time.
Luo Jianing asked Cheng Hu to take out the account books of the past few days, and after checking them, she told him to continue working hard.
Then Luo Jianing turned to the Huanxi Tailor Shop next door.
There were customers in the shop waiting for customers at the front. Luo Jianing glanced into the shop and estimated that there were two or three businesses.
Because the embroiderers had to concentrate on the embroidery work, Luo Jianing specially found some very capable and quick-working women to be responsible for entertaining the guests at the front.
Seeing that the business was going well, she didn't stay at the front any longer. Instead, she went around to the back and went directly to Mrs. Zhang and the others.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang and the other embroiderers changed their usual energy and vigor and were sitting in the room with their faces held up, their faces filled with despair, and they were obviously worried.
"What's wrong with this?" Luo Jianing walked into the house with a smile: "Why are you so free?"
She was just joking.
People are not machines, they must have time to rest.
She also often tells embroiderers to take a proper rest after working for a period of time, otherwise their eyes will not be able to bear it. Moderate rest can effectively reduce the damage to the eyes caused by long-term embroidery work.
Now that she saw them resting like this, she naturally had no complaints, she just smiled and said something.
An embroiderer cried when she saw Si Fujin: "Fu Jin! We are in trouble!"
Her expression that she was about to cry scared Luo Jianing.
Luo Jianing hurriedly chose the chair closest to her at the door and sat down, then asked, "What's going on?"
"The patterns and styles in the shop may not be good enough." This time it was Madam Zhang who answered the conversation. She bit her lip before admitting something unwillingly: "We originally thought that the things we made were good, but these two
The guests who come in Japan are rich or noble, but they don’t think highly of the things we design.”
The original "Zhang Niangzi Tailor Shop" had a very good reputation among the people. The items it made were novel in style and of good craftsmanship.
Mrs. Zhang was also very confident in all aspects of herself before.
But in the past few days, she discovered that this was not the case.
Her stuff is not good enough to attract all the customers.
For example, many of the female relatives introduced to them from the silk and satin shops these days do not like their latest looks.
"I originally thought that the business of my shop could not expand, just because many people didn't know about my shop." Only then did Madam Zhang realize the most critical point of the problem: "In fact, the things I made
, there’s no way I can impress the distinguished guests.”
So it was not that no distinguished customers came to her store to take a look. It was just that after they took a look, they didn't like it and left silently. Therefore, she mistakenly thought that the products were good. It was due to insufficient publicity that the business almost went bankrupt after the expansion.
Now I understand the reality.
Some of the ideas and things she created just couldn't fit into that circle.
Now the customers coming next door have ordered some clothes. But they are just waiting and watching. If the products produced in this batch do not meet their liking, I am afraid these customers will not come back for a second time.
It's rare that the silk and satin shop over there introduced many distinguished guests.
Is it necessary to lose them in vain?
Madam Zhang is a little unwilling to give in. But no matter how unwilling she is, the facts are the facts and she can't change anything.
"New guest?" Luo Jianing was thoughtful.
She then remembered that when she was at Zhang's house, Zhang Tinglu mentioned a few things about her shop.
At that time, Mrs. Zhang said that she would bring some familiar female relatives over to look at the materials and, most importantly, cut new clothes.
In this case, the store really needs to have more new tricks. Otherwise, those distinguished customers will not be able to bring out good things when they come.
"Leave this to me." Luo Jianing said, "It's easy for me to make some tricks and new styles."
This is not her boast.
She has traveled through many worlds, and drawing and designing have become essential skills, and she can pick them up at her fingertips.
"Really?" An embroiderer asked in disbelief: "Fujin, are you willing to do it yourself?"
They didn't doubt Fujin's abilities.
Si Fujin's taste is obvious to all, and the things Fujin designs are naturally of excellent quality.
But they couldn't believe that Sifujin was actually willing to condescend to do such a thing as design himself.
Mrs. Zhang happily praised her again and again: "Fu Jin is still amazing. I have been worried about this matter, but now I can relax and just make good clothes."
In the past, she and the embroiderers had racked their brains for new styles and looks.
Mrs. Zhang asked herself that the looks and styles she had in mind might only attract the wealthy households among ordinary people. When it came to wealthy families, her designs would not be on the table and would not be loved by distinguished guests.
With Si Fujin here, all these things seem to be easily solved. Si Fujin's taste is naturally excellent. If she is there to control it, the store's business will definitely flourish.
Because of the arrival of Sifujin, the shop, which was originally gloomy and gloomy, suddenly became full of vitality again.
Mrs. Zhang and the embroidery ladies are very energetic and ready to welcome the craze of making summer clothes.
Luo Jianing was also very happy.
She doesn't have much to do in the house on weekdays, so designing a pattern or something can be used as a way to kill time. At the same time, it can also make her shop make more money.
No matter what era you are in, you can only have confidence if you have money in your hands.
Luo Jianing and the embroiderers discussed the general style of this batch of summer clothes.
Such a delay made her return home a little late. When she arrived home, the concierge told her that the fourth master had returned and was waiting for her in the main room.
Luo Jianing changed her clothes briefly and went to the main room to look for Yinzhen.
Yinzhen was still standing by the window, pacing back and forth, and kept sending people to ask if Fujin had returned.
As soon as he heard that Fujin was back, he hurried to the window and sat down with a book, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
...Although the young masters of the Zhang family are all good-looking, she won't stay there for that long, right?
She could come back right after lunch, but she stayed there until this time.
The more Yinzhen thought about it, the darker his eyes became.
