- Chapter 94: A once and for all solution
June of the eleventh year of Tianyou in the Sui Dynasty
The weather in the imperial capital has become so hot that men prefer to go out on the streets. Young women who love beauty put on the most beautiful gauze skirts, revealing their white necks, and their graceful steps show off their figure. The streets are full of tiny waists and carmines, and naturally there are prodigal wanderers wandering the streets trying to capture the beauty.
And another reason why Chang'an City is getting more and more lively is the most important. In three days, the examination of the Yanwu Academy will start.
That night Chenya disappeared after hurting the big dog, and he didn¡¯t know where he was hiding. People from the Ouchi Guards Department and Qing Yamen searched secretly but could not find him. Chang'an City was too big for one reason, and Chen Ya's ability was another reason.
With the medicine from the Imperial Guard, Da Quan's injuries have been controlled, while Shen Qingshan needs to rest. He has already injured two people around him after only one month in the imperial capital. Fang Jie really doesn't know whether Chang'an City should be considered his own. A land of blessing or a land of disaster. People close to him were seriously injured one after another, but he also gained the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Once he enters the Yanwu Academy, he may really be able to soar into the sky.
Even if they can¡¯t enter the Martial Arts Academy, a few bachelors are still waiting eagerly.
There are only three days left before the exam starts, so Fang Jie must calm down and prepare. Although relying on some knowledge from his previous life, he is basically somewhat confident in dealing with arithmetic, liberal arts, and painting subjects, but there are also music subjects and etiquette subjects that he is basically not sure about. In addition, he does not have If you don't excel in martial arts If you want to make a splash when you enter the martial arts academy examination, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky.
After spending half a day reading behind closed doors in the shop, Fang Jie felt like his head was about to explode. Not long ago, Huai Qiugong, the Minister of Rites, specially sent him a book called "The Book of Rites". He read it for several days, but the complicated stuff made him feel dizzy. After reading it for a long time and thinking about it, I still didn¡¯t remember much.
¡° Take the seemingly simple matter of seeing a gift as an example, the rules involved are dazzling. When an ordinary person sees a courtesy, there are rules for how much to bend down, how much to cup one's hands, how to stand up one's legs, how to lower one's head, and even where to look with one's eyes. When a junior is greeted by a courtesy, how much should he bend down, how much should he cup his hands, how should he stand his legs, how should he lower his head The details and strictness of the distinctions make Fang Jie's temperament more and more irritating.
He simply threw the book aside, spread a piece of rice paper on the table, and drew a few pictures in detail with charcoal. After finishing the painting, he rolled up the rice paper and stuffed it into his sleeves, stood up, said hello to Da Inu and the others and went out. Walking slowly along the bustling street, I felt much better looking at the delightful orioles on the street. The postures displayed by those young women and girls as they moved lightly made it increasingly difficult for the men to hide their animalistic hearts behind their sanctimonious expressions.
Fang Jie walked into a tailor shop and found an old tailor who was quite famous in the nearby streets. In front of him, he unfolded the picture he had just drawn and asked, "Can you do this?"
The old tailor looked at Fang Jie¡¯s drawing, was stunned for a moment and then asked him: ¡°Did you draw it?¡±
Fang Jie nodded.
The old tailor hummed, then picked it up and looked at it carefully and then said: "Although the picture you drew is very awkward, I have to say that no one would dare to wear such clothes even if they could be made. Can you Can¡¯t you tell me, what is this dress called?¡±
"I call itcheongsam"
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Wouldn't it look beautiful on a woman?"
The old tailor put down the picture and actually blushed: "It shows too much"
"Don't worry about how much is exposed, just say whether it's beautiful or not?"
The old tailor was silent, nodded and said: "I have never thought that clothes can be made like this in my whole life. The Sui Dynasty only stipulated that people were not allowed to wear brocade clothes, nor could they wear Hu clothes casually, and there was nothing else. What are the strict requirements But your idea is still too bold. I am afraid that as soon as you do it, you will be scolded. No matter how courageous a woman is, she will not dare to wear it on the street. "
"I'll let my woman wear it at home for me to look at to relieve my boredom, okay?"
Fang Jie said with a smile.
"Okay! The government has nothing to do with it!"
The old tailor put the pictures away, looked at Fang Jie and asked tentatively: "Do you want to find a promising job?"
"What?"
Fang explained the question.
The old tailor approached Fang Jie and said seriously: "I still need an apprentice"
"Stop dreaming."
Fang Jie proudly puffed up his chest and said, "I want to take the exam to be a student of the Martial Arts Academy!"
The old lame man was startled, and couldn't help but clasp his fists and apologize: "I'm sorry Um It's okay to make this dress, but it requires preparation. After all, it's very difficult to make the clothes exactly the same as the ones in your picture. It may take a lot of time"??Modification consumes a lot of fabric. I have to fumble around, so it takes a lot of time If I make all these items, it will be twenty taels! "
"Five hundred taels."
Fang Jie stretched out five fingers and made a gesture.
The old tailor looked at Fang Jie as if he were a fool, thinking he had heard wrongly.
"Five hundred taels?"
he asks.
"Well, five hundred taelsbut you gave me five hundred miles."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "You give me five hundred taels of silver. I will take it away after these clothes are made. But you can keep this picture and continue to make it. I don't care how much the clothes are sold for, but if If more than 200 pieces of clothes are sold, I will take 30% of each piece sold. Of course, because you are the first person to buy the pictures, I will give priority to selling them to you if I have pictures in the future I have no shortage of them. Fresh style,¡±
"Are you okay?"
The old tailor looked at Fang Jiewen with contempt on his face.
"I want them all"
At this time, a voice came from behind Fang Jie, and it was full of atmosphere: "I will buy any good styles you have in the future. I am planning to let the company start the ready-to-wear business recently."
Fang Jie was startled and looked back, only to find that Wu Yiyi was standing at the door of the tailor shop at some point.
"It would be a waste for a good young talent like you not to do business."
Wu Yiyi looked at Fang Jie with admiration on his face.

Sanjinhoufu
Sitting in the pavilion by the small lotus pond, Fang Jie was lucky enough to taste the single-branch Dahongpao, which could be worth a house or two. He took a sip angrily and asked Wu Dao: "Do you have a tael of silver in this small sip?"
Wu Daodao smiled and said: "This is not a matter of how much money you have Even if you have money, if you give me one hundred taels, five hundred taels, one thousand taels, or ten thousand taels, I won't be able to buy it if I don't want to." In addition to the few kilograms of Dahongpao branches that are dedicated to the palace every year, the remaining two or three kilograms are with me. When I am in a good mood, anyone can just ask Wu Yiyi to take out your single branch and taste it for me. I won't be stingy. If I'm unhappy, I won't pay attention to the dignitaries."
"So domineering"
Fang Jie flattered him.
Wu Yidao couldn't help being amused by these three words. He pointed to the teacup and said, "Wuyishan Dahongpao refers to the tea leaves picked from the tea trees on the cliffs of Wuyishan. Because of the unique geographical location and special soil of that place, , the climate is special, so the tea trees are also special, and the taste of the tea is even more special, with a faint scent of osmanthus. Even if the tea produced in other places is considered to be the best tea, it will lose its flavor after brewing for up to seven times. However, Wuyishan Dahongpao loses its flavor. It can be brewed nine times and the tea will still have a lingering fragrance.¡±
"The so-called single-branch Dahongpao, when picking, a young girl with a fragrant body needs to be specially selected. Wearing only single clothes, she climbs up and carefully searches for the most perfect tea leaf on each tea tree. , cannot be put into the utensil, but put into the underwear pocket specially sewn close to the chest. Often, the girl cannot pick more than ten or twenty sticks at the end of the day because she is very tired, so she will sweat. The body smells so good that even the sweat smells good.¡±
"Originally, tea leaves have the fragrance of osmanthus. Coupled with the girl's body fragrance, the fragrance of Dahongpao is naturally unmatched by other tea leaves. Moreover, the best tea leaves are selected from each tea tree and roasted by the most experienced roasters. The tea master makes it himself, and the process is very complicated, so it¡¯s surprising that it¡¯s not expensive.¡±
After listening to Wu Daodao¡¯s explanation, Fang Jie picked up the teacup and put it under his nose and smelled it: ¡°Is there really a girly body fragrance?¡±
Wu Daodao laughed and said: "That's nonsense. The saucy literati need this artistic conception, so naturally they have to say that. If you say it was picked by a man with a beard and sweaty bare feet, who would drink it?"
Fang Jie smiled and thought that the richest man in Wu Da was also a wonderful person.
"I just took a look at the picture you drew. It's indeedunconventional and bold."
Wu Dao pointed to the charcoal sketches on the table and said: "But if such clothes were made, and if all the brothel madams in the capital were invited to come and have a look, they would definitely be willing to pay for them. Put them on. With clothes like this, the girls in the building will look at least a little more voluptuous."
"Uhthis dress is very serious."
Fang Jie said seriously.
"I am also very serious about it."
Wu Yiyi looked at him and smiled and said: "Such clothes are too bold. Think about it for yourself, who dared to wear it in the first place? It must be the popular girls in brothels, because they dare to show it without reservation. The most beautiful part of yourself?. And the so-called good family women naturally don't dare to wear random clothes. If the gauze skirts of the girls at Hongxiu Zhao hadn't fascinated all the men who went to Hongxiu Zhao, how could it be possible that gauze skirts would be everywhere in the streets in the following years and even now as soon as spring comes? "
"This is a process."
Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "That old tailor can't see that the clothes you painted are valuable, so he can only open that small tailor shop in his life. I just said that he would make these clothes first and then sell them to the brothel women. Make a small fortune, because soon all tailor shops will be stealing clothes, and in less than two years they will be everywhere like this gauze skirt."
"Tell me, how can I make the most profit from these clothes?"
He asked Fang for an explanation.
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said: "Go to the government for approval first. The style of this dress is unique to me. No one can make it except me, otherwise it will be theft."
"The Sui Dynasty did not have such rules."
Wu Daodao thought for a while and said: "But this reminds me, I will write a note and hand it over tomorrow. From now on, such unique ideas belong to whoever comes up with them. The court must protect them and cannot be used by just anyone."
Fang Jie secretly felt ashamed, thinking that he had forgotten that there was no law to protect patents in this world. However, Wu Yiyi immediately thought of the importance of this point, and his business vision must be praised. He was the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, and he had many talents under his command. It was not difficult to come up with good ideas. With the protection of the court's laws, it would indeed be of great benefit in the future.
"Go on"
Wu Yiyi made a gesture of invitation.
Fang Jie pondered for a while, then leaned over and whispered a few words in Wu Yiyi's ear. Before he finished speaking, Wu Yiyi's eyes became brighter and brighter. After Fang Jie finished speaking his thoughts, the richest person in the world couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "I have said before that if you don't do business, you will really waste such a good talent In this way, If you fail to enter the Yanwu Academy, or are not adapted to the way of life in the imperial court, you can come to me, and I will leave you a position as the shopkeeper of Huotongtianxiaxing. You must know that my goods are sold all over the Sui Dynasty, and the people employed by the trading company There are only eight thousand people if you don't have ten thousand There are only ten people who can sit in the position of shopkeeper."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Let us first tell you how much money we will earn per year and then we can discuss this matter."
Wu Yiyi couldn¡¯t help laughing.
While smiling, the eldest lady Wu Yinyu, who was watching the fish playing across the lotus pond, couldn't help but be curious, came over and asked: "Tell me what makes dad so happy."
Wu Yiyi pointed at the drawing on the table and said, "I was discussing with Fang Jie who should be the first to wear this dress after it is made. It shocked the entire city of Chang'an."
Wu Yinyu picked up the drawing and looked at it, then praised: "What a beautiful dress, Daddy, I want to wear it after it is made!"
Wu Yiyi¡¯s face darkened, and he said with a sly smile: "How can this be done"
"Why doesn't this work?"
Wu Yinyu asked Fang Jie: "Do you think I can wear it or not?"
Fang Jie looked at Wu Yiyi and did not dare to speak.
"Yu'er, don't make trouble."
"If you don't let me wear it, I will"
Wu Yinyu hesitated for a moment and then threatened: "I will tear this picture up."
Wu Yiyi pointed at Fang Jie and said, "He can still draw."
Wu Yinyu stamped her feet angrily, walked to the lotus pond and said fiercely: "If you don't allow me to wear it after I make it, I will jump down and die with this drawing!"
Die together
Fang Jie had a black line on his forehead and thought to himself that this girl is really powerful.
Wu Yiyi quickly got up and tried to persuade her, but Wu Yinyu said, don¡¯t come over. If you come over, I¡¯ll jump. Fang Jie said quietly: "Is that just to scare you?"
Wu Yiyi said seriously: "You are wrong, she really dared to jump. Although the pool is not deep, it is troublesome to get covered in mud, right? The key is that it will be bad if she catches the cold and gets sick. Let's Don't go over there, she's just a child with a bad temper She'll have enough trouble in a while."
"Have you never thought of a way to prevent her from jumping into the lotus pond?"
Fang explained the question.
Wu Yiyi frowned: "Unless she changes her temper, how is that possible? If you can find a way to prevent her from threatening me by jumping into a lotus pond, I will find a way to help you enter the martial arts academy."
"Then let me do it."
Fang Jie stood up and left the pavilion, then walked to the lotus pond. With his back to the young lady and Wu, he untied his pants and peed into the lotus pond
"shameless!"
Miss Wu YinyuhongHe cursed on his face, turned around and ran away.
The corner of Wu Yiyi's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a while. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
