Chapter 484 Meijiao's Grievance
noon.
Nangong Meijiao came out of the last shop with Aunt Mu, her cheeks burning hot.
For a whole morning, they went to seven shops in a row.
Almost all the shops in the inner city went, but in the end, without exception, they were all politely rejected.
No one wants to hang such shameful clothes in the store.
Although they were all respectful and respectful, they said all kinds of good things to her, and even begged in various ways, but after all, no one dared to agree to her.
Although these seven shops are all owned by the Nanguo County Prince's Mansion, they all compete with each other.
Whoever does not sell well will not only have to withdraw the store owner, but the store may also lose its security.
So no one dared to take the risk to agree to her, even if she was the princess of the Nanguo Palace.
Nangong Meijiao stood on the street, frowning, thinking about the eyes of those people just now, her cheeks were still hot, and she suddenly felt a little regretful.
If there is no accident, those people will definitely tell the people in the mansion, and then spread it to the mother and even the father...
"Damn it! How can I agree to such a shameful and embarrassing thing! I blame that shameless bastard for designing such clothes. I made a bet with him, why should I help him?"
She clenched her fists and couldn't help cursing angrily in a low voice.
Aunt Mu stood aside, holding a black package in her hand, with the same awkward expression on her face.
Nangong Meijiao said: "Go, go to the Qin Mansion, we don't care about this matter."
Aunt Mu followed silently.
I didn't drive a carriage today, so I had to hire one at the crossroads.
But when they were about to reach Moxue Bookstore, Nangong Meijiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, looked at the bookstore in front of her, her expression changed for a while, then she turned and asked, "Aunt Mu, do Xueyi have many friends?"
Aunt Mu thought for a while after hearing this, and said: "Miss Xueyi often goes out to participate in various literary conferences, and has a good relationship with the ladies in other palaces and marquises. She should have many friends."
Nangong Meijiao said with a cold face: "Then tell me, if this kind of clothes are given to her, is there anything she can do?"
Aunt Mu glanced at her face, and said: "Miss Xueyi knows everyone's daughter, so she probably wouldn't like this kind of clothes, and Miss Xueyi probably wouldn't dare to take this kind of clothes out."
Nangong Meijiao sneered: "That's not necessarily true. If Luo Qingzhou came to ask her for help in person, do you think she would sell it for him without shame?"
Aunt Mu didn't dare to say anything.
Nangong Meijiao took another look at the bookstore in front of her, then turned around suddenly and said, "She has friends, so don't I have no friends? Go, continue."
Aunt Mu followed behind without speaking.
Go through a few streets.
Nangong Meijiao stopped at the intersection with a dejected expression, looked around in a daze, and murmured: "Well, I really don't have any friends..."
She sighed, and said: "Aunt Mu, tell me, who should we ask for help? I promised Wei Mo, and I can't break my promise."
Aunt Mu thought about it carefully, and suddenly her heart moved, and said: "Miss, we actually have a shop that specializes in custom-made outerwear and underwear. But that shop is not on the main road, and the business is not very good. Compared with other shops for two consecutive years, They are all at the bottom, so we are going to withdraw this year. But there are still a few months, we can go there and give it a try."
Nangong Meijiao said helplessly: "Let's go, no matter whether it can be sold or not, as long as we can hang it there, I will complete the task Wei Mo gave me, and I won't be ashamed to see her."
The two walked through the alley to the west of the inner city, and soon came to a street.
It was noon at this time, and there were still many people on the street.
Aunt Mu took the package, walked in front, and soon entered a clothing store.
Apart from a young woman, there was only one maid in the shop, and the two of them were sitting in the shop boredly talking.
In the huge shop, no customers came in.
This is the time when the sun is at its strongest, and women rarely go shopping for fear of their skin getting tanned.
After Aunt Mu brought Nangong Meijiao in, the young woman and maid thought that there was a guest coming in, so they got up to greet them.
But when she saw the person coming, the young woman was very surprised, and quickly walked over and said, "Sister Mu, what brought you here, please come in, do you want to see the clothes?"
Aunt Mu pointed to Nangong Meijiao at the back and introduced: "Xu Mei, this is Miss Meijiao. I have nothing to do today, so I came to your shop to have a look, and I have something to ask you by the way."
When Xu Mei heard this, she was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed to salute: "Ms. Xu pays her respects to Miss. I don't know that Miss came here a few days ago. I was far away from welcoming her. Please forgive me."
She secretly wondered, this eldest lady has always ignored these things, what is she doing here suddenly today?
Nangong Meijiao asked for something, and said politely: "You are welcome, Aunt Xu, I also came here by accident today."
Then he continued: "I heard from Aunt Mu that your shop will be closed this year, isn't it?"
Xu Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she said with an ugly expression, "Miss, we are useless. Our performance in the past two years has been at the bottom, and many clothes can't be sold back..."
Nangong Meijiao waved her hand, walked into the shop, looked at the clothes hanging on it, and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to question you today, I just came to see, please help me by the way."
When Xu Mei heard it, she was surprised, and immediately said: "Miss, what's the matter, just ask, there's no point in saying to help, isn't this a little bitch."
Nangong Meijiao walked into the back room again, observed for a while, and asked, "Why are your clothes not selling well, do you know the reason?"
Xu Mei hurriedly said: "Returning to the princess, one is that there is a clothing store at the end of the street, the fabric is worse than what we use, and the price is cheaper, and there are many clothes purchased from other countries in the shops on the street. , the style is new, so we can’t compare; the second is that the traffic here is not as good as the main road, and the locations of the other seven stores are better, so we can’t sell. Third, it may be that Xiaohuan and I are indeed compared. People who don't go to other shops..."
After hearing this, Nangong Meijiao said, "Aunt Xu, if this shop is closed, where will you go?"
Xu Mei's eyes turned red immediately, and she said: "Miss, if this store is really removed, Xiaohuan and I may have nothing to do, our stores are all competing with each other, and the ones at the bottom will be eliminated in the end. ..."
Speaking of this, she rubbed her eyes and begged: "Miss, can you go back and tell shopkeeper Ning that if this shop is withdrawn, don't drive us away, let Xiaohuan and I go to other shops to help, You can pay less wages so we can have something to eat, okay? My family still has children to raise, and Xiaohuan also has a younger brother to raise..."
Nangong Meijiao frowned and said, "Don't worry, I won't drive you away. If our store doesn't want you, I will help you find a new one. Aunt Xu, I'm here today just for the new store. Yes. I have a bellyband and a pair of stockings here, and I want to hang them here to see the effect, can you see it?"
When Xu Mei heard this, she immediately said gratefully: "Of course, miss, just bring it, don't say one, ten are fine."
Nangong Meijiao showed an unnatural expression on her face, she turned to look at Aunt Mu and said, "Take it out and show it to Aunt Xu."
Aunt Mu unwrapped the package, took out the apron and the pair of silk stockings, and unfolded them in front of her.
Xu Mei: "..."
The maid behind her suddenly opened her eyes wide and blushed.
Nangong Meijiao said with some embarrassment: "Aunt Xu, I will hang it with you for three days. If it cannot be sold, we will come and take it away. Do you think it is okay?"
Xu Mei opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully: "Miss, this dress... I'm afraid it's hard to sell."
Seeing the expression on her face, Nangong Meijiao knew that she was regretting it, and she was heartbroken, and immediately ordered: "Aunt Mu, go and hang this apron and stockings in the back room, we will come to pick them up in three days."
Aunt Mu was stunned for a moment, and immediately entered the room.
"Miss, this..."
Seeing this, Xu Mei hurriedly wanted to stop her, but she didn't dare, and said with a bitter face: "Miss, this dress... this dress... can't be sold, it's too... hey..."
Nangong Meijiao said cheekily: "It's okay, your shop is about to be closed anyway, so what does it matter if you are laughed at? Aunt Xu, aren't you willing to help me even with this little help?"
At this time, Aunt Mu had already hung up her bellyband and stockings and came out of the house.
Xu Mei secretly groaned, seeing that the deal was done, she could only force a smile on her face and said, "Since you want to hang it up, let's hang it up. What the lady said is that this shop will be closed this year anyway, so it doesn't matter, hey ..."
Nangong Meijiao was afraid that she would repent, so she didn't dare to stay any longer, and said, "Aunt Xu, thank you. You don't have to take the initiative to introduce the apron and stockings to the guests. If they enter the back room, they will naturally see it, even if they don't. It doesn't matter. Anyway, three days later, we will pick it up on time and won't delay your business."
After finishing speaking, he took Aunt Mu to say goodbye and left.
"Hey……"
Xu Mei walked to the door, and saw that the two of them had walked away, so Fang sighed.
Xiaohuan said weakly from behind: "The apron and stockings can be seen inside... I am afraid that customers will scold us for being shameless when they see it..."
Xu Mei turned around and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, anyway, it will only be released for three days, and the princess will take it away after three days. It doesn't matter if it affects our reputation. Anyway, our shop will not be able to continue..."
Xiaohuan said in a low voice: "It will definitely not be sold, who will buy it."
in the afternoon.
Three waves of guests came in, and only one wave of guests entered the back room to look at underwear such as underwear.
One of the women opened her eyes wide when she saw the strange bellyband and stockings: "Good... what a shameful dress..."
The other women were also dumbfounded when they saw it.
"This kind of clothes...can you wear it? Look inside, you can see that the middle of the bellyband is actually separated, and there is only a thin rope tied underneath, which can't even cover the stomach..."
"When you touch these stockings, they feel so soft and slippery, but when you wear them on your legs, they look like you're not wearing them, and they're still flesh-colored...It's so shameful, it looks like you're not wearing pants..."
"It's too embarrassing, too embarrassing..."
Several women chatted for a while in the back room, and then they came out with red faces and red ears, and they all spat out: "What kind of shop, dirty! We will never come here again."
Xu Mei and Xiaohuan immediately lowered their heads in embarrassment, not daring to answer back, wanting to cry but not crying.
At this time, the Nanguo County Prince's Mansion also got the news.
The princess immediately sent someone out, took Nangong Meijiao home, and asked her what she did in the morning.
Nangong Meijiao knew that the matter was exposed, so she didn't dare to hide it and told the whole thing.
After hearing this, the concubine thought that it was the Qin family's business, so she didn't pursue it any further. She just reprimanded her: "You are a majestic princess, next time you don't want to show your face to do such a thing in person, just ask the servants to do it. So as not to make people laugh."
He said again: "After three days, it must be taken away, and it is not allowed to be taken back in the future."
After hearing the reprimand, Nangong Meijiao left depressed.
Back in the room, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and said to herself: It's all because of that bastard, and I have to find him to vent my anger today.
She took Aunt Mu and Mother Nine out and went directly to the outer city.
At this time, Song Ruyue had already entered the Zhou Mansion with a few of her friends, and was eating melon seeds and chatting in the back garden.
Liu Honghua, the second wife of the Zhou family, accompanied her in person.
From time to time, there were bursts of coquettish laughter in the back garden, which attracted other guests to peek sideways.
A few middle-aged men deliberately chatted past, peeked a few times, and said in a low voice: "What a beautiful woman, look at that one in the moon white dress..."
"Sure enough, whose family is it?"
"I don't know, I'll ask my sister-in-law later."
at dusk.
After Luo Qingzhou, Sister Dao, and Chu Xiaoxiao left the martial arts hall, they walked towards the Zhou Mansion together.
Chu Xiaoxiao chattered non-stop along the way, looking very excited.
