Plum blossom garden.
The sun has just risen and the courtyard is brightly lit.
When Luo Qingzhou followed Qiu'er in, Miss Qin was standing in the courtyard talking with Nangong Meijiao.
The sun fell on them both.
One of them is pretty and gentle, pure and white as snow; the other is tall and beautiful, delicate and pretty like a flower.
When they saw him, they both stopped talking.
Luo Qingzhou stepped forward and said respectfully: "Second Miss, Princess."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Brother Qingzhou, I hope we won't disturb you while you're studying. If you're really too busy, we can go by ourselves."
Luo Qingzhou said: "It doesn't matter if you don't read it for a day."
Nangong Meijiao stood aside, looking at him with a cold face, without saying a word. The long whip around her slender waist had turned purple.
Luo Qingzhou suspected that this long whip was the same long whip as before.
He remembered that the whip was very powerful. It could be longer or shorter. Even if it broke, it should be able to be restored. After all, it was a magical weapon.
The princess was wearing a knee-length purple skirt today, and her slender legs were wrapped in purple stockings. She still looked sexy and charming.
Luo Qingzhou just took a casual glance and was caught by her.
“Does it look good?”
Nangong Meijiao asked coldly.
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and looked at her in confusion: "Are you talking to me, Princess?"
Miss Qin Er was watching the fun and laughed, "Brother Qingzhou, were you looking at Sister Meijiao's legs and feet just now?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately denied: "No."
He just took a look.
If there is a beautiful woman with a graceful figure standing in front of you, wouldn’t you subconsciously take a second look at her
He didn't look at it on purpose.
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly, squinted at him, and said nothing more.
Miss Qin Er didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingzhou, let's go, it's time for us to set off."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Second Miss, do you want to call the eldest lady and Bailing to come together?"
He felt that he would be safer if there were more people around.
At least the princess didn't dare to lead him away in front of so many people.
Qiu Er said, "Sir, before I went to your place, I called the eldest lady. But Sister Bai Ling said that the eldest lady didn't want to go out, and she and Xia Chan didn't want to go out either. She also said that you should accompany the second lady and the princess."
Luo Qingzhou was a little surprised when he heard this: "Did she really say that?"
This is not like that girl's style.
Qiu'er nodded and said, "That's what Sister Bailing said. If you don't believe it, you can go ask it yourself."
Luo Qingzhou said: "No need."
I guess the eldest lady really doesn't want to go. Although Bailing wants to go out and play, she must accompany the eldest lady, and the same goes for Chanchan.
He felt a little guilty.
Next time when I have time, I will take Chanchan and Bailing out for a trip alone.
The autumn weather is clear and pleasant.
It is a good time to visit West Lake.
Of course, I hope I don’t meet that scary maid in green again.
The three of them went out together.
Qiu'er and Zhu'er followed behind with snacks, water and other things.
Miss Qin Er suddenly asked, "Brother Qingzhou, isn't Xiaodie going?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "She wants to make clothes at home and won't go."
In fact, Qiu'er had also invited Xiaodie just now, but he thought that West Lake might be a little dangerous. Once a situation occurred, if there were too many people, he would not be able to take care of it.
Also, that girl still has to stay at home to look after the house.
After all, his Sun and Moon Mirror was still on the table absorbing the sunlight.
Moreover, there is another danger in this journey.
He turned his head and took a peek at someone on Miss Qin's side, and happened to meet her cold eyes, so he immediately looked away.
Judging from what happened last night, it might be quite dangerous to visit West Lake today.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly said, "Second Miss, why don't you call your second brother along as well? It will be safer with him around."
Miss Qin Er looked at him and smiled, "My second brother will be going to the academy next month. He is practicing now. We can't disturb him."
Nangong Meijiao, who was standing by, snorted coldly: "Luo Qingzhou, do you look down on me? Isn't it safe with me here?"
Luo Qingzhou said nothing more.
It's because you're here that I'm not safe.
The three of them went out and got on the carriage.
There were two people driving the carriage, one was Aunt Mu, and the other was Aunt Jiu, who was at the level of a great martial artist.
Qiu'er and Zhu'er also got on the carriage.
The carriage quickly drove out of the alley and headed towards the west of the city.
Miss Qin Er saw that the atmosphere in the carriage was dull, so she took the initiative to speak: "Dad and Mom are planning to find a business to start recently, so that we won't have to live off our savings. Brother Qingzhou, do you have any good business recommendations?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "Second Miss, you should ask the princess. The princess is more familiar with this place, and the Prince's Mansion also has many businesses here. She should know a lot. I just arrived, so how would I know?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "That's true."
Then he turned to look at the girl beside him and said, "Sister Meijiao, what kind of business is better to do in the outer city now?"
Nangong Meijiao pondered for a moment and said, "The outer city is full of mixed people. Even if you do some small business, you will be involved in various forces and interests. It is better to go to the inner city. You can't live in the inner city, but you can do business there. Our family has an industry that transports tea and cloth. If you are interested, you can open a store and sell directly. For the details, I have to go back and ask the housekeeper. I don't know much about these."
Qin Weimo thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I want to open a clothing store. We have a few maids at home who are quite good at making clothes. If there are enough supplies and orders, we can also hire people. But Sister Meijiao, since your family transports cloth, you should also have a cloth store. If we want to open a clothing store, will there be any conflicts?"
Nangong Meijiao said, "How can there be any conflict? Kyoto is so big, and there are so many cloth shops on the street, and not all of them belong to us. Besides, you need all kinds of cloth to open a shop, which will increase our orders. The better your business is, the more we will earn, which is beneficial to everyone."
Qin Weimo smiled and said, "That's right. Then I'll go back and tell Dad and Mom, and we'll open a clothing store, so they don't get bored at home. Dad will be responsible for buying and delivering the goods, and Mom will be responsible for looking after the store."
Nangong Meijiao thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem that simple. If you make clothes yourself, besides needing someone to make them, the most important thing is to find someone who specializes in designing clothes. If the clothes are not well designed, no one will buy them even if the materials are good or the workmanship is exquisite."
Qin Weimo nodded and said, "Sister Meijiao is right. We do need to find an excellent tailor."
At this time, Qiu Er on the side interrupted and said, "Miss, Sister Xiao Tao is actually quite good at designing clothes. The outerwear, underwear, bellybands, panties, stockings and shoes she designed before are all very beautiful."
Qin Weimo was surprised and asked, "Really?"
Qiu'er was about to nod when she suddenly remembered something. She glanced at someone in the car, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss, Xiaodie is actually very talented. She has designed a few new bellybands and stockings, all... they are very beautiful, I think many people will like them."
Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat and he lowered his head, not looking away.
Qin Weimo asked with interest: "Really? Xiaodie can also design? What style is it? Tell me about it."
Qiu'er felt a little embarrassed and looked at someone again.
Qin Weimo reacted and smiled, "It's okay, your son-in-law is not an outsider, just tell me."
Qiu'er was still a little embarrassed to speak up when she thought about how bold those bellybands and stockings were.
At this time, Zhu'er, who was sitting next to her, immediately said, "Miss, I saw Qiu'er wearing it. The bellyband was very small, it could only cover her chest, and her belly below her chest was exposed. And the shape of the bellyband was the same as her chest, round and bulging, with several thin strings tied in the middle, tied into a bow or a flower, which could be untied at once... It felt like wearing that kind of bellyband made her chest look bigger, and..."
"Pearl, stop talking."
Qiu'er blushed and pulled at her clothes.
Zhu Er continued, "There are also stockings. The stockings Qiu Er brought out that day include those that reach the calf, those that just reach above the knee, and those that are like pants, and they come in all kinds of colors. There are white, black, flesh-colored, red, blue, and striped ones... There are also hollow ones with lace, and those with many small holes that look like fishing nets..."
Listening to her nonstop chatter, Qiu'er blushed with shame and lowered her head tightly.
These are the patterns drawn by Xiaodie, and Xiaodie secretly told her that these bellyband and stockings patterns are actually...
Luo Qingzhou, who was standing by, also lowered his head like her and dared not say a word.
After Zhu'er finished speaking, she proudly lifted up her skirt, revealing a part of her calves, and said, "Miss, look, the socks I'm wearing now were taken from Qiu'er."
When Qiu'er heard this, she immediately looked down.
The other people in the car also looked over.
Luo Qingzhou is no exception.
They were a pair of white open knee-length cloth socks with blue and white stripes. Wrapped around the slender calves, they were indeed a unique sight to behold.
"Uncle, you are not allowed to watch!"
Zhu'er immediately put her skirt down again and snorted.
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.
Qin Weimo glanced at him, then looked at Qiu'er and asked, "Qiu'er, was it really designed by Xiaodie?"
Qiu'er lowered her head and said "hmm".
Qin Weimo smiled slightly, turned to look at the princess beside him and said: "Sister Meijiao, please ask for us when you go back, we will open a women's clothing store. It just so happens that we have a design master, and we can start making it right after the store is open. Then make a few pieces and put them in the exhibition to see the customers' reactions."
Nangong Meijiao nodded and said, "Okay."
After a pause, she looked at Qiu'er and said, "Qiu'er, are those... clothes still there? Show me the styles when you get back. Then I'll go to other clothing stores in the inner city to see if there are any similar ones."
Qiu Er blushed and nodded: "They are all here."
Nangong Meijiao took another look at the skirt that Zhu'er had torn off, remembered the strange white socks, then turned her head and looked at someone.
Someone was watching very attentively just now.
She lowered her head again and took a look at the purple stockings on her legs.
Qin Weimo also looked at someone, his lips slightly curved, a half-smile in his eyes.
The carriage suddenly became quiet again.
Everyone seemed to be thinking about something.
Soon, the carriage arrived at West Lake.
The lakeside is quite lively with people coming and going.
There were two more pleasure boats in the lake.
In one of the pleasure boats, the sound of a melodious piano could be heard. Several women in gauze and heavy makeup were standing at the railings, greeting the guests on the bridge and the shore in seductive ways.
Luo Qingzhou got off the carriage and just took a look when his foot was suddenly stepped on hard by someone.
