Not to mention that she is remarried, she was once a good concubine who abolished the crown prince, and she still hangs out with the king of Ming without a matchmaker, a job, a name, and a role. Such a behavior is no different from that woman in the flower street and willow lane. Look down on for contempt.
Moreover, the new and old princes married the same daughter, which is shocking to say, and it will hurt the prince's reputation, let alone a side concubine, even a small concubine, His Majesty and all the officials will not agree.
However, the conditions for the side concubine of the palace are more relaxed. If she wants to be a concubine of the palace, no one will care about her. There is room for manipulation.
That's why there was an operation that King Ming Shangzhe wanted to make her a side concubine.
Speaking of which, although Su Ran is not likable, and she has a lot of disgusting operations, she has some real skills to make people feel that she is important, so she wants to protect her.
Even Princess Ming Qin Yuzhu, although she was annoyed that she always had no brains, but because she could really help Ming Wang Daye a lot, she tolerated her a bit.
Sometimes Su Wan admires Su Ran's brain capacity. She can remember so many things. She has almost forgotten the things in her previous life. Many times, she may feel that she is the person who lives here, and she just occasionally thinks of some things inadvertently. , I just feel that it is already very far away.
"Madam, do you think Su Ran can really be the side concubine of Prince Ming's Mansion?"
Su Wan came back to her senses, smiled and said, "It's up to her ability, we can't guess this matter accurately."
In fact, there are various aspects of thinking and weighing, such as how determined King Ming is to help her become a side concubine, and how the emperor in the palace thinks.
The most important thing is the emperor's mind.
Xiao Sang also smiled: "That's true, let's see her own ability."
The little sauna poked the charcoal fire in the brazier with the tongs, and added some charcoal: "Is it cold, ma'am? If it's cold, burn the earth dragon."
"It's not too cold, so don't worry about it. I will go back in two days. By the way, I remember that there are many houses in Jingpingyuan that burn kang. When the time comes, people will make one in the side hall. It will be easy to use." convenient."
When the Jingpingyuan was built, earth dragons were placed in the main courtyard and the guest garden in the outer courtyard, and the rest of the courtyards were burnt kangs. The emperor city is very cold in winter after it snows. If there is no kang, that is It was freezing cold.
But burning the earth dragon is really troublesome, and it also costs a lot of firewood, so Su Wan didn't bother to let people burn it after staying for a few days. It just so happened that it wasn't too cold at the moment. The warm quilt is also passable.
Xiao Sang said: "Then I will go to the steward of the house and let him arrange it later."
Not long after the application time passed, Steward Lin brought Steward Lu over.
Guanshi Lu is a tall and thin young man. Although he is not as handsome as those nobles, his facial features are not bad. At this moment, he is wearing a blue cotton coat, and his face is a little red.
"Princess, this is Manager Lu. His name is Lu Ling, and he will be twenty-four after the new year. I see that he is quite capable of doing things."
Lu Ling came forward to salute: "I have seen the princess."
"There is no need to be formal, sit down."
Su Guan asked them to sit down, and asked Xiao Sang to serve them a cup of hot tea. Seeing that Lu Ling seemed a little excited, Su Wan didn't tell her her own plan directly, but instead asked about the people in the shop he was in charge of. matter.
The shop that Lu Ling manages sells fabrics and ready-made clothing stores. There are also good materials in the store, as well as ordinary materials, and the business of ready-made clothes. The business in the store is not booming, but Lu Ling manages it well. It is one of the best business among several shops.
Speaking of the things in the shop, Lu Ling calmed down, and then talked about the business of the shop recently. The business in the shop is good mainly because the ready-made clothes are selling well.
Lu Ling divides ready-to-wear into high-end and low-end routes.
One sells handicrafts. After all, it is an old shop with more than 20 years old. The handicrafts are very good. The reputation of the 20-year-old shop is used for publicity, which attracts many high-spending customers. , In addition, those clothes are made of good materials, and the workmanship is also exquisite, which is also satisfactory. There are also some ladies and girls who go to the store to choose fabrics to order clothes.
As for the low-end route, it sells ordinary people¡¯s clothes. The materials used in spring, winter and autumn are relatively strong and not so easy to break, and you also need to go around when making clothes. Winter clothes are mainly cotton-padded clothes. The material is also sufficient, very thick and warm, and it takes the path of small profits but quick turnover.
However, except for the winter clothes, which are made by the tailors in the store, the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn??All the clothes can be taken away by women and girls who are good at needlework, and they can be made at home. The wages are calculated according to the number of pieces, which is convenient and flexible, and it is much cheaper than hiring workers.
Su Wan was a little surprised when he heard what he said, but she also knew that he was indeed capable, smart and flexible enough. It would be enough for him to manage the stalls in the Imperial City, so she asked him about his plans for the coming year.
Lu Ling said: "In the coming year, I want people to make more handkerchiefs, head flowers, nets and other small things to put in the shop. It doesn't matter how good the material is. When someone comes to the shop to buy clothes, if they like it, It¡¯s also a lucrative business.¡±
"Of course, the main thing is to add something to the customer. When the customer buys clothes, give a small thing. Although it is not worth the money, the customer feels that he has taken advantage of it and is happy. Compared with the clothes of the same money in the two stores, he can get more. For a small thing, I will naturally choose what is in our store, and I will come again next time.¡±
"We make clothes, and what we do is long-term business. If every customer stays for a long time, the business will be fine."
"As for these small things, they don't cost much. I asked some women who have nothing to do at home to take back some of the shredded cloth ends in the store. It didn't cost a few copper coins, and I also gave them some hard work. money."
Su Wan's fingers lightly slid over the edge of the teacup, and a smile was still on the corner of his mouth: "It's a good idea, so I'll do what you said. You're still in charge of this store right now. I will send someone else to contact you."
"At that time, if you are busy enough, this store will still be under your management. With your share of money, if you are too busy, you and Manager Lin will come up with another manager for me."
"This matter is settled for the time being."
"Ah? It's settled?" Lu Ling was still a little dazed. He was clearly talking about the business of the Buzhuang shop. He had prepared a lot of things to say about the new business, so why was it so decided?
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: "What? Are you still not happy?"
"No, no! The subordinate is willing, of course the subordinate is willing, thank you princess." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
