When Bai Fuling asked about the current business situation of the embroidery workshop, Bai Wei and Mo's did not dare to neglect, they explained everything clearly, and also told about the situation of the other famous embroidery workshops in the capital.
In general, the Nylon Embroidery Workshop is not ranked among the top three embroidery workshops in Beijing in terms of scale and revenue, because the Bai family does not want to make too much publicity and deliberately controls the scale. For a long time, people in the capital had the impression that the embroidery workshop was just a place for Princess Antai to pass the time. He had no ambition to compete for the position of the number one embroidery workshop in Qi State, nor did he intend to grab the big business from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was not a big threat to his colleagues. .
The target customers of the embroidery shop are very clear—the most powerful and wealthy officials and businesswomen in Beijing!
All the items in the embroidery shop are novel and unique, and the quantity is only sold out. It is famous for its high quality and higher price. Over the years, it has maintained a relatively low production and sales volume, and the cycle of custom-made embroidery is relatively short. Long, to order a piece of embroidery at Nylon Embroidery Workshop, at least one or two months, and a long wait of a year or so is not unusual, and it has a taste of limited production.
But those female relatives who have money and no place to spend it are good for this. In addition, the boss on the embroidery workshop is Princess Antai, who is a compatriot with the current emperor. Her status is extremely noble. With this living signboard, many families have embroidery The female family members of the mother's famous family are also flocking to the things of the Nylon Embroidery Workshop, and are proud of owning embroidery.
The harder it is to get, the more expensive it is, which is also one of the bad habits of human beings.
Of course, Nylon Embroidery Workshop can always produce some styles and products that other embroidery workshops do not have, and even the needlework and handwork are excellent. These are important factors for its success.
Today, whenever Nylon Embroidery Workshop launches some new products, it will immediately cause a wave of plagiarism, and there are countless followers. Being able to own an original embroidery product from Nylon Embroidery Workshop, and then look at the counterfeit products used by others, the feeling of great vanity and satisfaction makes the women's families in Beijing madly pursue it.
For the development of Bai Fuling's embroidery workshop, the core has always been to export overseas and neighboring countries in the future, and the revenue of Nylon Embroidery Workshop has never been the focus. The establishment of this embroidery workshop was just an attempt at the beginning to help her understand market trends and find another way to connect with the upper class, but the rewards she got were far beyond imagination!
Having such a well-known embroidery workshop not only vaguely influences the trend of the silk embroidery industry in Beijing, but also provides great convenience for recruiting talents. As long as the embroiderers trained by the Bai family work in the Nylon Embroidery Workshop for a period of time, they will go out as soon as possible. Home Embroidery Workshop is scrambling for talent.
Both Bai Wei and Mo's understand her thoughts. They have been very successful over the years. The achievements of the embroidery workshop have long exceeded Bai Fuling's expectations. After asking all the questions one by one, she is finally completely relieved-even if she is gone in the future , these women can still live well.
A few women chatted and chatted, and the topic slowly began to develop in the direction of gossip. Bai Wei, Mo's and other shopkeepers and managers of the embroidery workshop had more contact with relatives of high-ranking officials and rich people in Beijing and China, and they were even more well-informed about the gossip news in the backyard. Before Shengbai, Baiguo didn't expect to meet a bosom friend here, and hated that her friend Yangmei was not there, but Xiufang is a place where officials and women like Bai Fuling can often come and go, and she is not afraid that Yangmei will not have the opportunity to come with her in the future.
I don't know if the world is really that small, but while talking, Mrs. Mo actually brought up the matter of the Cui family.
Not many people know about the quarrel between Bai Fuling and Cui Zhenyi in the capital, at least Bai Wei and Mo's don't know about it, it's just that it just happened outside the embroidery workshop in the past few days, and it's fresh, so I told them rise. Bai Fuling never cared about Cui Zhenyi, but Bai Guo's eyes lit up when she heard it.
To be precise, this matter has nothing to do with Cui Zhenyi herself.
It turned out that the Cui family sent Liu Zhenzhen to the eldest prince's mansion to serve her a few days ago. Although she was not even an official concubine, she was favored by the eldest prince that day. Shao Yinliang asked her to buy more clothing, cosmetics, and manage the servants of the eldest prince's mansion.
Liu Zhenzhen has been famous for the Nylon Embroidery Workshop for a long time, and he appointed to come here to order custom dresses. The orders for the Nylon Embroidery Workshop have already been scheduled until March and April next year. If she wants to wear the dress of the Nylon Embroidery Workshop to show off, it will be possible after June next year at the earliest.
Just that day, Mrs. An Guogong, another guest of the embroidery workshop, had no time to come to the Nylon Embroidery Workshop to try on new clothes because of the distinguished guests at home, so she only sent the house manager and two maids to come. Several people fiddled with and inspected the newly made dress, which aroused Liu Zhenzhen's envy and jealousy on the spot.
When she came out of the embroidery workshop, she immediately assigned the nanny to stop him, and offered to buy the dress at double the price. There were only a few servants there, so of course they couldn't do it, and the owner was fake. It was also the wife of the Duke, and the chief internal officer felt that Liu Zhenzhen's proposal was very offensive, as if he meant that his wife was not as rich as her, so he couldn't help but be stingy when he replied.
Liu Zhenzhen is being favored by the eldest prince these days, thinking that he is also the eldest prince's person, and the other patriarch is just a prince with a name, so could he still be older than the prince? Especially this one of my own, who is very likely to be the emperor in the future!
Both sides were angry, first there was a verbal conflict, and soon it rose to a physical conflict. Liu Zhenzhen won an overwhelming victory by virtue of having more maids and servants than the other party.
The place where they were arguing was not far from Jinlun Embroidery Workshop. When Bai Wei and Mo Shi heard the news, the victory and defeat of the two sides were already divided. They have been in the capital for more than ten years, what scene have they not seen? Knowing that such muddy water would never be waded and that it would be very easy to get into trouble, he quickly sent someone to report to Princess Antai urgently.
The housekeeper of the princess mansion arrived quickly with people, and the people from both sides of the dispute also arrived. As soon as their identities were revealed, everyone had the urge to pass out!
Although the original buyer of the dress was Mrs. An Guogong, she didn't wear it herself, but planned to give it to her a distant cousin who was similar in stature. The reason why she is so generous is not because of her sister's love, but because this cousin is a concubine of the second prince, and she just gave birth to a son for the second prince a few months ago!
When the matter broke out, the cousin happened to be a guest at the An Guogong's mansion with the second prince, waiting to try on the new clothes that the cousin gave her.
Mrs. An Guogong was not a good person either. When she heard that someone dared to bully her family, she told her cousin about it, and the cousin immediately cried in front of the second prince. The second prince didn't know who the other party was, and thought that it was probably the family of some ignorant official, so he sent people from the Prince's Mansion to teach him a lesson.
This time it really fits the sentence of Yuanjia Luzhai!
The housekeeper of the Princess Mansion was originally a female official in the palace, with profound experience, and she could speak a few words even in front of the current emperor. She avoided the important and acted both hard and soft. She only reasoned that this was a royal family affair, and dismissed the fighting cocks on both sides first. When I went back, I also picked up the relationship with Nylon Embroidery Workshop.
It is said that Liu Zhenzhen was grounded when he returned to the First Prince's Mansion, but the Second Prince's favorite concubine was fine after being scolded a few times.
Bai Guo heard it heartily, and said with a grin: "I mean, this cousin girl from the Cui family, why is she always so bad at learning? She opened a dyeing workshop after giving some color, always thinking about bullying others, and she didn't even think about it. Can I really stand up to that situation? Every time it ends like this, I feel a little sympathetic to her."
Bai Fuling smiled lightly, in fact Liu Zhenzhen is really pitiful, most of the women these days have to depend on a certain man to survive. She wants to have no identity, and no parents to support her. She always wants to find a powerful man to rely on, but she never thought that there are too many dodder flowers to lean on that man, and she has nothing to do Naturally, I don't care about more "decorations" on my body, but how can I care about the life and death of these "decorations"
Once he felt that these "decorations" had become "cumbersome" and got in the way of his affairs and made him lose face, he would definitely throw them far away without hesitation, or even destroy them with his own hands.
But in the final analysis, this is the path they chose, and they have no one to blame.
Returning from the tunnel to read Yunxuan's room in the Duke's Mansion, they were greeted by Yangmei's mournful eyes. No need to ask, she knew that today she was tossed about by those people in the Duke's Mansion.
Bai Guo tactfully pulled her aside to share today's gossip harvest, and when Bai Fuling finished grooming, the Bai family also came.
Mu Peilan brought a not-so-good news: "Today my aunt came to me and said that before Ling'er and Jili, Yili should participate in the gathering of the ladies and ladies in Beijing, so that the guests can get prepared and feel better. Let me get to know you first. The Jingguo Palace and the Zhongguo Palace also have many family friends in Beijing. Your aunt means that even if you don’t visit them one by one, you should let others know that Miss Sun from the Zhongguo Palace has returned to Beijing...Look, Linger Woolen cloth?"
When she asked this, she actually agreed with Mrs. Jingguo's words, but she was afraid that her daughter might have something in her heart, so she first came to discuss and persuade her.
Bai Fuling has long decided to stay in the capital, at least until the wedding ceremony, she will try her best to cooperate with her parents' request, pretending to be a lady of a big family, so as not to embarrass her parents. These things can't be avoided at all, but it's just a matter of time, so I secretly sighed in my heart, and agreed obediently on my face.
Mu Peilan happily embraced her and shook her, proudly said: "My daughter is so beautiful, I don't know how many wives would envy my blessing!"
As parents, most of them cannot be exempt from customs. When their children are exceptionally good, they always want to show off everywhere. Bai Fuling leaned in her mother's arms and said in her heart: Whatever, as long as mother is happy, I will be wronged. It's been a good month.
So starting from the next day, Bai Fuling had to slowly recover from a sickly and beautiful girl who was "unconscious" all day long to a sickly and beautiful girl who was "bedridden". It is estimated that she could "barely walk" after a few days The standard of sickly beautiful girls.
She doesn't intend to take off her sickly big hat, and she uses this as an excuse to sneak out when necessary! She only needs to pretend to be at Lin Daiyu's level.
