Chapter 065 18 sets
Hearing Uncle Jiang's words, Haiman knew that the business was half settled. He hurriedly told Yuexiang and Mei Xinger, and took the toolbox and followed Uncle Jiang and the driver out of the door.
On the way, she knew that the name of the driver was Chang Jiu, who often worked for Jiangfu. Over time, she became acquainted with Uncle Jiang. Today, I heard that Uncle Jiang was entrusted by Master Jiang to find an excellent tailor to make dowry clothes for his daughter who was about to marry into the general's mansion, so I recommended Hyman to him.
"Thank you so much, Brother Chang." Heyman listened to him and thanked him for the reason.
Chang Jiu smiled shyly, "Sea shopkeeper, you're welcome. You made such a good dress for my mother. My mother is so happy to put it on! I know that I don't have enough money to do anything. The sea shopkeeper is still so kind to help me do it. I'm grateful that it's too late for you!"
"Thank you very much!" Hyman solemnly blessed him and made Chang Jiu blush.
The Jiang family is engaged in the brewing business and has the largest winery in Qingshan City, which is Jiang's Restaurant. The wine culture of this dynasty is quite developed, because brewing is also a profitable business. Although the Jiang family is not as rich as the Lin family, it is also a rich family.
Master Jiang had many children and only had one daughter, Jiang Xiyue. He was regarded as the pearl in his palm by Master Jiang and was spoiled in every way. At the age of marriage, he was looked after by General Jingyuan's son, and he would marry into the general next month and fly to the branch to become a phoenix.
Master Jiang attached great importance to this marriage and prepared a full set of dowry for his daughter, which was extremely generous for fear of losing his daughter's face and losing her position in the general's mansion. Jiang Xiyue is also very nervous about this marriage and has high requirements for wedding clothes.
In fact, before Haiman, Uncle Jiang had been ordered to find several tailors, but Jiang Xiyue was not satisfied, so he found Haiman's head.
Haiman followed Uncle Jiang into Jiangfu and walked around for a long time before arriving at Jiang Xiyue's embroidery building.
Jiang Xiyue was painting, but the people who wanted to leave the cabinet were uncertain. After painting for a long time, he did not draw a satisfactory picture. While he was annoyed, Uncle Jiang came in.
"Miss, I brought a good tailor. Would you like to meet?" Uncle Jiang still said with a blank face.
"Let him in!" Jiang Xiyue put down his pen and ordered. When he saw a woman about his age coming in, he suddenly looked disappointed, "Uncle Jiang, where did you find a tailor?"
Uncle Jiang lowered his eyes and replied, "It was introduced by someone familiar with him!"
"Have you inquired in advance? Can she make clothes? Jiang Xiyue did not hide her doubts in front of Haiman.
"Miss Jiang is full of books. At first glance, she is an elegant person who is full of reading sages' books. How can she make the mistake of judging people by their appearance?" Hyman looked at her and smiled, "Why did Miss decide that I can't make clothes?"
In Jiang Xiyue's mind, tailors are all middle-aged men, and it is the first time to see such a young woman as a tailor. However, when I heard Hayman speak, I already felt that she didn't look like an ordinary woman, so I lost a few points in suspicion. "Then how can you make me believe that you can make clothes?"
"Do you want to see the pattern first, Miss Jiang?" Hyman took out the atlas and handed it to her.
Without waiting for Jiang Xiyue's order, the maid beside her came to pick it up and handed it to her.
Jiang Xiyue looked through a page and her expression loosened a lot. After turning a few more pages, her face was already surprised. She simply sat back on the chair, looked through it in one breath, and then looked up at Hyman, "Did you draw these pictures?"
"I drew it!" Hyman smiled and said, "Do you like Miss Jiang? If you don't like it, I can draw a picture for you according to Miss Jiang's request!"
Jiang Xiyue's eyes lit up and looked at the album in her hand, "Have you made clothes according to these patterns?"
"This is the reference pattern in the shop, which is naturally made for others!" Hyman told her the truth.
"The style I want is different from others. Can you help me do it?" Jiang Xiyue stared at her and asked.
Hyman smiled and said, "Of course, I make clothes for a living!"
"I can't completely trust you now. I need you to prove yourself!" Jiang Xiyue withdrew her eyes and showed the unique arrogance in her expression. "You draw four pictures for me first, one set of clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter. I'll give you three days. Can you draw it?
"In three days, I can draw for Miss Jiang now!" Hyman smiled confidently.
Jiang Xiyue looked at her in surprise, "Can I draw now?"
"Of course, borrow Miss Jiang's paper and pen!" As Hyman said, he came over. Seeing that she nodded and agreed, he picked up the pen and brushed it. In a quarter of an hour, four drawings had been drawn.
"Ah!" The maid beside Jiang Xiyue couldn't help exclaiming when she looked at the picture, "The style of this dress is really beautiful!"
Although Jiang Xiyue exclaimed, the expression on her face had betrayed her inner surprise and couldn't help looking at Hyman carefully.
"This is just a sketch. Only a general appearance is drawn. Many details are not added, and the picture will be closer to the garment!" Hyman explained to her.
Jiang Xiyue's eyes flashed, "Your drawing skills are really good, but you don't know how the sewing is?"
"Miss, I've seen the clothes she made for Chang Jiuniang. The sewing is so meticulous that I have nothing to say, that's why I came to her!" Before Haiman could speak, Uncle Jiang, who was standing beside him, opened his mouth.
"It's rare that Uncle Jiang will praise others. It seems that you are really good at it!" Jiang Xiyue dispelled her concerns and smiled, "Well, you can make my 18 sets of dowry clothes. You draw drawings one by one to show me first!"
18 sets!
Although Hyman thought that this would be a big business, he didn't expect that there would be 18 sets. This is really a big business! Surprised and happy, he hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I will draw a picture for Miss Jiang as soon as possible!"
"Well, after I'm satisfied with it, you can discuss the price or something with Uncle Jiang!" Jiang Xiyue said with a smile.
"Good!" Hyman agreed and asked Jiang Xiyue's clothes in detail about the category of her preferences and taboos, as well as other precautions, and recorded them in detail before saying goodbye to Jiangfu.
Back to Jinming, Mei Xinger and Mrs. Qu couldn't help but get excited when they heard that there were 18 sets.
"I didn't expect that the big brother who drove the car could introduce such a big business!" Mei Xinger couldn't help sighing.
"Yes, don't some people still think I charge less?" Hyman made fun of her.
Mei Xinger blushed, "Didn't I know that he could bring business before? I didn't expect that the lady was really right, and this will be rewarded with good intentions!"
"Yes, where is Yuexiang?" Hyman didn't see Yuexiang when he entered the house, so he hurriedly asked.
"The dress Miss Hai wanted is ready, and I asked her to send it to Tianfu Tea House!" Sister-in-law Qu replied.
Hyman nodded and couldn't stop being excited when he thought of the 18 clothes. "You take care of the shop. I'll go back to draw pictures. This business has been done, and it's more profitable than us for two months!"
"Okay, okay, Miss, go quickly!" Mei Xing'er was full of commitment.
When Hyman returned to the room, he immediately spread the paper, drew with a pen, and drew several pictures in one breath before he felt hungry. He looked at the sky. It was already afternoon. I was so focused on drawing that I forgot to have lunch.
She went out to the small kitchen and saw two dishes and steamed buns on the table in the small kitchen, which should have been left for her by Mrs. Qu. These people have been with her for a long time and already know her temper. She can't disturb her when she concentrates on drawing pictures. If she interrupts the thought map, it's useless, so she didn't bother her.
She simply ate a little, and then went back to the room to immerse herself in drawing. As soon as she drew a few strokes, she heard Mei Xinger call her hesitantly, "That, miss..."
Huh? What's wrong?" Hyman looked up and saw her probing her head at the door, and hurriedly asked.
"It's been almost two hours since Yuexiang went to deliver clothes, and she hasn't come back yet!" Mei Xinger's face was worried, "Will something happen?"
Haiman was shocked when he heard this, " hasn't Yuexiang come back yet? Isn't Tianfu Tea House at the corner of this street? It doesn't take a quarter of an hour to go back and forth..."
"Yes, at first I thought she saw something funny and delayed, but I didn't wait for her to come back, so I felt something was wrong..."
Hyman rushed out, "Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier? Yuexiang is not that kind of playful person. Something must have happened!"
"Miss, where are you going?" When Mei Xinger saw her running straight out, she hurriedly asked.
"Go find her!"
"I have asked Mrs.qu to go to Tianfu Tea House to ask, but she hasn't come back..." Before Mei Xinger finished her words, Mrs. Qu rushed in urgently, "The shopkeeper, it's not good. I went to Tianfu Tea House to ask. They all said that Yuexiang had never been there at all!"
Hyman felt a blast in his brain, "Have you never been there? So where did she go?"
"I also inquired about it near Tianfu Tea House, and they all said that I had never seen her. What's so good?" Sister-in-law Qu looked flustered, "Do you want to report to the official?"
Hyman suppressed his panic, calmed himself down, and ordered, "Mei Xinger, you stay to look after the family. Sister-in-law Qu and I go out to find someone. In case Yuexiang comes back, you will stay at home and wait for us to come back. Don't go anywhere. Don't waste time with each other!"
"Oh, I know!" Mei Xinger nodded quickly and agreed.
Haiman took his sister-in-law and walked out in a hurry. As soon as he went out of the door, he saw a carriage running over and parked at the door. It was Qi Wenhao and Lin Ziqin.
"You came just in time!" Hyman couldn't take care of much and grabbed Qi Wenhao. "Help me find someone. There may be something wrong with Yuexiang!"
Qi Wenhao was shocked, "What's wrong with Yuexiang? Don't worry, tell me carefully."
Hyman told him about the matter, and he pressed her shoulder and said seriously, "Leave the matter of finding someone to me. It's inconvenient for you women to go out to find it. Stay in the shop and wait for my news!"
He said and ordered the clerk to jump into the carriage and galloped away.
Although Qi Wenhao helped a little, Haiman was still worried and asked Lin Ziqin to stay and Mei Xinger to look after the house, and he and his sister-in-law went to Tianfu Tea House along the way...
