Chapter 142 Have we met before?
"Hey, I remember you said before the New Year that you wanted to discuss making it into clothing, and it's already out so quickly."
Lady Hou smiled and moved closer. Yun Qingjin looked up, as if she were receiving an ordinary guest.
"Madam, this is just a small token of our appreciation. These are our exquisite embroidery pieces, newly made handkerchiefs. Since you have three young ladies, I specially prepared five handkerchiefs for you as a small token of our appreciation for you and your daughters."
Yun Qingjin handed the gift and the leaflet she had drawn to the stewardess of the Marquis.
"Hey, what's this called? A flyer? It looks pretty good."
Lady Hou was captivated by the exquisite pictures on the screen, and couldn't help but admire them at first glance.
"Reporting to Madam Hou, this is the new style that Cheng Yi will be launching. This skirt and pants set is designed for simplicity and convenience. You can pair it with various outerwear and wear it however you like. We can also adjust the length according to your needs. You can also make any other requests you may have."
"Hmm, they look quite nice to me." The Lady Hou looked at the clothes on the flyers.
“Boss Xiaoyun, this painting is really nice. As for this dress… although I’ve never seen it before, I remember Her Majesty the Empress once said that her usual clothes were too cumbersome, so she straightened them herself, tightened the hems, and turned the skirt into trousers to make it easier for daily activities. I think your dress is pretty much what Her Majesty the Empress thought of.”
"Oh dear, I really didn't expect to have the same idea as Her Majesty the Empress. To be honest, when I was drawing these pictures, I was only thinking about how to make everyone wear clothes that are convenient and good-looking. I didn't think too much about it."
Yun Qingjin answered fluently, expressing her own ideas while avoiding criticism of her design.
The benefits of this life have come, and Yun Qingjin slightly raised her head to steal a glance at her biological mother.
In her past life, she never spoke to her so softly.
In this life, I am a well-known small business owner in the capital, and my family will never lose face in front of outsiders.
"Oh my, this is really good, I really like it." After reading it, Madam Hou was very satisfied and kept nodding in praise.
"To be honest, Boss Xiaoyun, I felt a sense of familiarity with you the moment I saw you. Whether it's the materials or the jewelry, the quality of your products is top-notch. We've been in Beijing for so many years, and it's not like we haven't seen beautiful jewelry or high-quality materials, but your products just give people a different feeling."
"Madam Hou is too kind."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it. I just really like your stuff. To be honest, what's wrong?"
The Lady Hou handed the leaflets in her hand to her subordinates to keep.
"Okay, that's great. I'll accept your things. Your new store opens on the second day of the second lunar month, right? Don't worry, I'll definitely bring my daughters to support you."
Lady Hou patted the young boss, Yun, in front of her. From the first time this young boss came to her mansion to sell fabric, Lady Hou felt that this little girl was very clever and hardworking. The little girl was only a teenager, yet she personally went from house to house to sell her fabric, and she spoke eloquently.
He is neither afraid of grand occasions nor can he speak in a dignified manner; he exudes an air of sophistication.
It just so happens that women's development is being talked about everywhere now, and indeed many businesswomen are gradually stepping into the limelight. When I first met this young girl, I felt that she was really courageous and had a lot of guts.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Madam Hou. Rest assured, I will prepare a private room for you and the ladies on the second day of the second month. However, if possible, I hope you can come in the afternoon. Opening the shop in the morning may be a bit chaotic, and we are worried that we may not be able to take good care of you. But please rest assured, we will reserve the best for you and the ladies."
Yun Qingjin smiled and directly expressed her thoughts, telling them not to come so early in the morning.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Lady Hou was also very generous; after all, she couldn't just stand at the door talking to people forever, so she had to take her people back as soon as she finished speaking.
Yun Qingjin nodded in greeting and stepped back a few paces to make way for the person.
Yun Qingjin originally planned to leave as soon as they entered the mansion, but someone grabbed her arm and forced her to look up.
"Boss Xiaoyun, look up at me."
The person who made the arrest was Xie Mingli, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changxing, who was also the fake heiress who was later found.
"Mingli, what's wrong?"
Lady Hou was puzzled, wondering why her eldest daughter would suddenly lose her composure and even grab people.
Although this eldest daughter is not their biological child, they have raised her from a young age. She is kind-hearted and beautiful, and can be considered the face of their family.
Xie Mingli stared intently at Yun Qingjin as if she hadn't heard what Madam Hou said.
"Boss Xiaoyun, I've wanted to ask you this for a long time. Haven't I seen you somewhere before? Not when you came to my house to sell, but sometime before?"
Yun Qingjin remained calm and composed, showing no change in expression.
“Miss, you asked me this question before, and I told you that I have never seen you before.”
Xie Mingli didn't trust her, so she directly lifted Yun Qingjin's left sleeve and carefully examined the arm.
"Wait, there should be a scar... why isn't it there?"
“Mingli, let go. You’ve lost your composure. Quickly apologize to Boss Xiaoyun.”
Xie Mingli couldn't find what she wanted, so she had to give up. Her expression was also somewhat unpleasant.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I might have guessed wrong."
Lady Hou shook her head, a hint of displeasure in her expression. Yun Qingjin looked up and found that this expression was rather familiar.
In my past life, my mother had the same expression when she disliked me.
Oh, so you also show this kind of expression to Xie Mingli.
Yun Qingjin was dissatisfied, but her expression remained largely unchanged.
The unexpected incident ended quickly, and the group from the Marquis's residence didn't linger at the gate, heading straight back to their residence.
Yun Qingjin and Xu Huibing had basically finished their New Year's greetings and drove home.
Inside the Changxing Marquis's residence, the Marquis's wife sent the other children back to their rooms, leaving only her eldest daughter in the hall for a private questioning.
“Mingli, what happened just now? You never lose your composure like this. Don’t forget that you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changxing. Our family is a favorite of the Emperor. Every move we make is being watched. Even your mother can’t do whatever she wants.”
Xie Mingli bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and then felt somewhat discouraged.
“Mother, Mingli lost her composure. Mingli just felt that this young boss, Xiaoyun, looked familiar, like an old acquaintance. She was just trying to check if there was any…mark.”
Xie Mingli covered up her mistake with her words, and Madam Hou didn't say anything more, waving her hand to let her daughter go back.
When Xie Mingli returned to her own courtyard, she saw that her eldest brother had also returned from outside.
Today they went back to the Lady Hou's family home together, but Xie's eldest brother said he had something to do and did not go with them.
"Mingli, what's wrong? You look a little off. Did those boys from your maternal grandparents' family bully you?"
Xie Minghao paid close attention to his younger sister, and could tell something was wrong just by looking at her expression.
Upon seeing her brother, Xie Mingli immediately pulled him aside.
"Brother, Brother Hao, do you remember? When I was little, I told you about the location of your younger sister?"
