Chapter 59 The Future Second Sister-in-Law
This is a huge ambiguity.
Su Mowan quickly explained, "It's not that I went to the brothel to find a man, it's just that the man happened to be at the brothel."
His Highness the King of Qin raised an eyebrow.
"You think you're so reasonable? A woman like you goes to a brothel, a place that's neither clean nor respectable, and you still don't know how to repent?"
Speechless after being stunned by the phrase "womanly virtue," Su Mowan missed her best chance to make a defense and remained speechless.
Seeing that she had finally behaved herself, His Highness the King of Qin turned his wheelchair around.
"go to bed!"
So, that night was very difficult to get through.
It wasn't that Murong Jing did anything; rather, it was because Murong Jing didn't ask her to do anything.
She no longer needed to undress, loosen her belt, or be helped by anyone; in fact, she took over her job: rushing to turn off the light.
This was extremely unusual, so Su Mowan realized that His Highness the Prince of Qin was angry.
Therefore, early the next morning, before Murong Jing even woke up, she quietly got up and sneaked away.
As usual, I went to the clothing store again, and then went to Zui Jin Zhao.
The reason she went to the clothing store first and then to Zui Jin Zhao was that Su Mowan planned to stay at Zui Jin Zhao until noon, have lunch, and then go back.
The clothing store has just received a new batch of that style, the one that costs 300 taels.
When she went in, she happened to see a woman paying for her services.
While directing the maid behind her, the young lady kept muttering, "Shopkeeper, your clothes are indeed very beautiful, but there are too few colors. Could you make one in more colors?"
"of course can."
Hearing this, Su Mowan smiled and lifted the beaded curtain to go inside.
She smiled at the young woman and said, "Miss, you can make a reservation. Just tell the shopkeeper what color you want and pay half of the deposit."
When the young lady saw that it wasn't the shopkeeper who answered her, but rather a young and beautiful woman, she frowned slightly and turned to ask the shopkeeper, "Is this alright, shopkeeper?"
Manager Liu's eyes were already crinkled with a smile when he saw Su Mowan enter.
He immediately laughed and said, "If our boss says it's okay, then of course it's okay!"
Then, he personally approached and welcomed Su Mowan to the counter, saying respectfully, "Why did you come here? The new styles just arrived today, and we've already sold two sets."
Su Mowan smiled and nodded, then picked up the ledger and flipped through it casually.
The young lady was dumbfounded.
She thought the pretty young woman was a lady from some wealthy family who had come to buy clothes, but little did she know that she was actually the shop owner!
The young lady immediately smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, miss, I thought you were just here to browse."
"It doesn't matter."
Su Mowan also looked up and smiled at the young lady.
She explained to the young lady, "Is it true that you just said you want to order a dress in a specific color? However, besides paying half the deposit, the dress won't be the original three hundred taels."
The young lady hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Then tell me the price, boss. If it's reasonable, I'd like to order a set."
Su Mowan put down the ledger and held up four fingers.
"Four hundred taels."
Manager Liu, who was on the side, was already used to it and smiled calmly.
The two maids behind the young lady immediately changed their expressions. Just for specifying a color, they wanted an extra hundred taels?
One hundred taels is no small sum!
The young lady frowned, and after a long while asked, "I wonder why the boss added this hundred taels?"
"There's no basis for this; it's just for fun."
Su Mowan smiled, revealing a dimple.
She asked, "Is this your first time buying clothes from my store, miss? Did you see the two hundred taels worth of ready-made clothes we had before?"
The young lady nodded.
"I saw a close friend wearing something very beautiful, and I asked about the price before I came to buy it. Unfortunately, the price today is three hundred taels."
"I'm just telling the truth. The 100 taels in between the 200 and 300 taels price range is completely unfounded. The only difference between the two price ranges is the fabric, but the fabric doesn't cost much."
Su Mowan blinked as she spoke, "So, the next time we change to a better fabric, it might cost eight hundred taels."
The two maids both gasped in shock.
The young lady remained calm and smiled slightly: "So, according to the boss, it's a bargain for me if I add another hundred taels?"
Manager Liu couldn't help but chime in, "Yes, Miss Fu. If you had come ten days or so later, you wouldn't have been able to buy even the three hundred taels one."
Miss Fu smiled and waved her hand.
He chuckled and exclaimed, "No wonder Manager Liu's shop has been doing so well lately; it turns out it's gotten such a unique owner."
After everyone left, Su Mowan asked, "Which family's young lady is this?"
Manager Liu put the silver notes into the drawer.
He explained to her, "She is the daughter of the Minister of Rites."
It turned out to be Fu Yingli.
Su Mowan recalled Fu Yingli's face and suddenly smiled.
What a blunder! If nothing unexpected happens, this is her future sister-in-law.
"Manager Liu, how about this: next time Miss Fu makes a reservation, we'll charge her three hundred. If it's someone else, we'll charge her four hundred."
Although Manager Liu didn't know why he was giving Miss Fu a discount, he still smiled and nodded.
On the way to Zui Jin Zhao, Su Mowan kept thinking about something.
Fu Yingli's words reminded her.
Although the shop has a total of 100 new ready-to-wear styles, each style only comes in one unique color.
I did consider making more colors, but since the new clothes were so expensive, I was afraid that making too many colors would lead to unsold stock.
Now I have a good idea.
Just like Fu Yingli said, we can customize the colors to your liking, so you don't have to worry about the colors not meeting your expectations.
In addition, since half of the deposit has been collected, if someone cancels halfway through the process, the deposit is still free, so there's no worry about wasting costs.
We entered Zui Jin Zhao, but there were only a few people in the lobby, and the private rooms on the second floor were even more empty. Breakfast had already ended, and lunchtime hadn't even started yet.
Su Mowan didn't rush upstairs, but instead went to the counter.
But then they saw Manager Qian writing something down.
"Manager Qian, how was your day?"
Manager Qian looked up, about to call the waiter for tea, when the waiter came running over with three cups of tea.
Su Mowan handed one cup to Yinshuang and another to Manager Qian.
"Everything is fine. These past two days have been much easier, all thanks to Consort Su's method, it's extremely effective!"
Manager Qian respectfully took the tea, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.
"That's good."
Su Mowan took a small sip, the fragrance lingering on her lips and teeth.
She smiled confidently: "Actually, I have an even easier way. Would you like to learn it, Manager Qian?"
Shopkeeper Qian's eyes immediately lit up. He slammed the teacup back onto the counter and exclaimed excitedly, "Consort Su, while no one's around—"
He paused halfway through his sentence, then said sheepishly, "Why don't you drink your tea first before you teach me? Hehe!"
Manager Qian had just said "no one" when, as soon as he finished speaking, several handsome young men walked into the restaurant.
The person in the lead looked very familiar.
