...

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the eldest princess changed the year name to the first year of Tianci, but she never thought that it was known as the most disaster year in history after only three years.

First, the Xiongnu stationed troops in the northern border, sharpened their swords and prepared to go south again.

At the same time, the White Lotus Sect rebelled in many places in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, occupying all the wealthy lands, making the already shaky Han and Tang dynasties worse than the already shaky Han and Tang dynasties.

Then on the same day, the palace encountered a meteor shower that was rare in a thousand years and burned, and the East China Sea experienced an extremely rare tsunami, making it difficult to count the affected areas.

However, it is unimaginable that the Han and Tang Dynasties actually affected so many disasters in three years and then followed step by step.

First, the White Lotus Sect in the south was severely affected by the tsunami in the East China Sea. The backbone of the White Lotus Sect, who were originally regarded as a great enemy by the court, all lost news in this disaster.

Therefore, the rebels of the White Lotus Sect will be defeated without attacking the Jiangnan area. However, the Huns in the northern border saw that they had no choice but to take advantage of the situation, so they disarmed their troops and unarmed them, and officially belonged to the Han and Tang dynasties.

In order to show the world and provide for the people, the Empress, who had been newly promoted for three years, specially exempted taxes from the affected areas for three years, and also encouraged merchants to spread to various places to promote local commercial development.

But it is precisely in this context that the first Liu family cloth shop in Suzhou City opened.

The well-known politicians and merchants in Suzhou City basically gathered here, and there were also many lieutenants and officers in the military department.

The first floor shop has not yet been placed, and the invited people are invited to the second floor.

The person who welcomed the guests on the second floor happened to be Xia Zhishan, who was previously famous in the cloth industry.

"Yo, Miss Zhishan."

"Hello Aunt Xu."

Xia Zhishan smiled at the visitor, and her years of business experience at the Xia family made her handle these scenes easily.

The visitor looked at Xia Zhishan and felt a little admiration and regret in his heart.

Xu Xuan is also a famous merchant in the Jiangnan area. A wealthy merchant family like them did not dare to attack them even when the White Lotus Sect occupied the city.

Because merchants from all over the country were extremely united, even the forces like the White Lotus Sect could not get around the silver level, so many agreements were reached with them when they were celebrating the city.

"Why did you, a little girl, open a shop in Suzhou City without saying a word? And you don't use the font size of your Xia family, you used the Liu family."

If Xu Xuan talks about Xia Zhishan, he has to speak up carefully.

She is a local businessman in Suzhou. She can meet the Xia family members every year in the chamber of commerce, basically watching Xia Zhishan grow up since childhood.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the little girl has become more and more graceful and beautiful.

They are also natives from Jiangnan. She also thinks that her skin is white and greasy, but she has never seen any girl as bright as her skin, white and red, and she really looks like a piece of warm jade.

Unfortunately, when the White Lotus Sect was in trouble this year, the Xia family was hijacked. The second lady Zhishan didn't find her until the tsunami.

After returning, I became a little stubborn and insisted on leaving the house alone. I also came to a house where I had no name and found work.

This Liu Family Fabric Furniture in Suzhou was her first store after she took over.

Although Xia Zhishan's business of the huge Xia family was orderly and had a surplus year after year, to put it bluntly, it was all based on the great business of the Xia family.

The Xia family has 70 or 80 cloth shops of all sizes in the Jiangnan area, and there are countless other affiliated industries such as dye shops.

Among these businesses, there are hundreds of old servants who are loyal to the Xia family and skilled in business.

Without these help, even if Xia Zhishan is a commendable business genius, she may have to work hard at the most basic level for a while.

So how could Xu Xuan bear to watch this?

But today is the first day of the opening of the new store, and there is an invitation signed by the Chief Secretary for Administration. No matter what, everyone has to give it a little bit of thin air.

"The most important thing is that Aunt Xu is willing to come and appreciate her face. After a while, Shan'er will pick out the clothes that her aunt likes and give them to you."

Xu Xuan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "This is nice, I love to hear this. My daughter wants to be half of you, so I have entrusted her family business long ago."

The daughter who followed her said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, what did you say? I am not worse than Sister Xia."

Xu Xuan changed her face and turned her head and cursed, "Shut up, you prodigal girl. Two days ago, because you were shopping in brothels every day, the in-laws we made had made a appointment to break the engagement. Do you think it's not enough for your mother's face?"

The daughter blinked and dared not speak.

Xu Xuancai took her to the inner hall to take a seat in anger. What surprised her was that the Liu family cloth shop had tried his best to empty the second floor and made a huge space.

The inner hall has a large T-shaped desk and various tables, chairs and benches made of mahogany. The overall look seems to be somewhat similar to the arrangement of the teahouse, but it is not the same.

As soon as I took my seat, a sound came from the table.

"The layout of the second floor is quite interesting, but selling clothes is different from telling stories in the teahouse. No matter how nice you sound, you still have to try it out to know if it fits?"

The person who spoke was Tong Xin, the owner of another cloth shop in Suzhou City. The Tong family, Xia family and the other two, she led, were almost divided into the Han and Tang cloth industry, and was the leader in textile fabric making.

The one who came back was a wealthy woman wearing gold and silver. Her eyebrows looked somewhat similar to Xia Zhishan. "But my second sister was not just famous. The Jiangnan Provincial Administration Office governed the richest Jiangnan government. It is rumored that the newly appointed Lord Qiao was not only appointed by Her Majesty the Queen, but also a scholar from the Qiao family. Such a noble identity rejected many gifts, but he was only willing to build a thread to make a bridge for my second sister. There must be a lot of stuff inside."

Xia Nianzhen is the eldest daughter of the Xia family. Although she should have inherited the Xia family's fabric industry, Xia Zhishan has become more and more skilled at home over the years. She has nothing to do with her, the eldest sister, and she has traveled all the brothels in the city.

But Xia Nianzhen is not that kind of waste. On the contrary, although she is not as good as Xia Zhishan in managing the family business, she is considered to be a normal person.

After all, there are so many old servants and parents and relatives in the family who are worried about helping, so she can't do much.

Tong Xin looked at the other table of Master Zhengsi wearing official uniforms and being elegant, licked her mouth and said, "This makes some sense."

After all, although this time it is to give the newly opened Xia Zhishan face, it is better to give the Chief Secretary more face.

Many people want to take this opportunity to meet this new official in Jiangnan.

After a while, before the time to prepare for the start, the second floor of the Liu Family Buddler was full, and countless people were looking forward to it, wanting to see what the second lady of the Xia family wanted to make.

Xia Zhishan also disappeared in front of everyone. After a while, the curtain on the stage was opened before slowly walking out of the backstage.

What she wore was not the cumbersome clothes prepared for the usual ritual ceremony, but a new dress made of silk.

At this moment, she was completely different from her temperament before the receptionist. Many spectators who were planning to watch it as a joke couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then they showed a serious expression on their faces.

"This is the latest new product of our Liu family fabric industry, cheongsam."

As soon as this said, everyone was surprised.

You should know that humans have developed in clothing for thousands of years, and no matter what kind of development it is, they must follow traditional culture such as Confucianism. Therefore, daring to develop new clothing is equivalent to facing many comments such as disheveled clothes.

Not to mention that Xia Zhishan's dress was actually split from her thigh at this moment, which was like pressing her shame to the ground and rubbing her!

Xia Zhishan smiled at the spectators and then turned to face each other.

"The biggest feature of this clothing is that it can use delicate curves to outline a woman's exquisite figure, so that our temperament can be highlighted to the greatest extent."

Everyone did not expect that Xia Zhishan did not avoid the problem of opening the slit, but instead introduced this as a selling point to everyone below the audience.

But it has to be said that the beauty of this side is undoubtedly revealed, especially when a beauties with a figure like Xia Zhishan are extremely pleasing to the eye.

"What I wear is just the original cheongsam in our Liu family's fabric industry."

The others were shocked again, and Xu Xuan couldn't help but open her mouth and asked, "Is there any other styles of this cheongsam?"

Xia Zhishan pretended to be mysterious and then walked out of the stands.

Then, the window sash on the second floor closed, leaving the glass on the roof to shine through the sunlight, illuminating the entire stand.

This magical design of the stand shocked everyone.

Accompanied by melodious music such as the erhu behind the screen, a tall woman wearing a cheongsam appeared one after another.

Each of them has different makeup on their faces, which echoes the cheongsam on their bodies, which is very suitable for the situation.

There are cheongsams that symbolize the colors of spring, summer, autumn and winter in various seasons, and there are also cheongsams that integrate elements such as butterflies and flowers.

Some have simple patterns, mainly simple and monotonous, and some have bright colors and fancy patterns.

But without exception, they all gave everyone indescribable psychological shock. This outstanding beauty made the snow-white legs curves looming, and every footstep was equivalent to hitting the line of defense in their hearts.

The garment exhibition walkway ended, and there was a long-lasting applause from below.

"That's so beautiful! Mom, I want to buy this!"

A young woman with strong acceptance ability could no longer resist this beauty and was defeated directly.

Only some people are still thinking about the impact of wearing this outfit.

"This kind of clothing is really...depressing."

As an opponent, Tong Xin naturally did not compromise so quickly. Although she was extremely shocked, she also thought she had found the weakness of this dress.

Xia Zhishan, who came back on stage, smiled slightly and was not angry at the words of slandering. "Although the clothes are novel, Sister Tong thinks something is wrong with what Sister Tong said."

Tong Xin saw people's eyes gathered over, and she was also a little embarrassed to get on the verge of worrying about everyone.
