The West Wind Cuts the Works of a Concubine Daughter to be Married Off, A First-Rank Noble's Consort Concubine Daughter to be Married Off, A First-Rank Noble's Consort Concubine Daughter to be Married Off, A First-Rank Noble's Consort Volume 1 Chapter 66 Quarrel

  Three days later, in the early spring season, it's warm and cold, with a feeling of 'one night east wind rises, ten thousand mountains return to spring color. Ice melts, springs flow, and dew drops dry.'

  That morning, Xia Ting brought Wan Yu and Lu Wei together to get on the carriage and go out. The coachman drove the horse familiarly towards the street where "Snow Refining Workshop" was located. Today is a good day for the grand opening of "Snow Refining Workshop".

  This Dongda Street has always been the most bustling and prosperous street in Kyoto. Xia Tingjing had initially set his sights on this excellent geographical location, which is why he had placed all his industries on this street.

  The carriage stopped in front of the Snow Refining Workshop, and Xia Ting brought two maids down from the carriage and walked straight into the shop. Along the way, she saw that many noble ladies or famous misses also went to the Snow Refining Workshop.

  Xia Ting looked at these people with a faint smile, most of them came after hearing the introduction from the people under Meiren Hall, she had instructed Cai Zhanggui, the boss of Meiren Hall, to ask the shop assistants to introduce and recommend the soon-to-be-opened Xue Duan Workshop to customers several days ago.

  These noble ladies and misses are mostly loyal customers of the Beauty Hall, where they hear about beautiful fabrics and clothes, plus the surprises that Beauty Hall's products bring to them. Subconsciously, they think that since it is recommended by Beauty Hall, it should not be too bad. So they all come to this Snow Workshop with expectations.

  So even though Yuki no Kan didn't have the same level of publicity as Bijin-do and Dan'en-ro before, there were still many customers who came today, mostly because they were recommended by Bijin-do.

  As soon as I walked into the snow workshop, I saw a neat and tidy layout here, with various colorful fabrics, beautiful dresses like dreams, warm and soft cloaks, windbreakers, and on the counter were many exquisite small sachets and handbags.

  It makes people look at it with admiration and yearn to take it home. The ladies and girls who entered the door rushed to their favorite areas to pick out things. The partners and maids waiting on the side also came forward, smiling and introducing and recommending what customers needed.

  Cai Zhanggui hastily pushed the few guests in his hand to a nearby maid after seeing Xia Tingcong, and walked over to say "Miss, you're here."

  Xia Ting nodded slightly and said "En, let's go upstairs and talk again, there are too many people here with loose tongues." If someone with ulterior motives were to discover her identity, it would be terrible.

  Cai Zhanggui nodded repeatedly and walked ahead to lead Xia Tingcong upstairs.

  Coming upstairs to the elegant room and sitting down, Xia Ting said "It seems that business is very good, today will be busy."

  The scene under this building is almost the same as when Mei Ren Tang and Nuan Yan Lou opened before. Xia Ting, who has experience, looks very calm at this time.

  Cai Zhanggui laughed and said, "It's all because the goods in our shop are good, otherwise these customers wouldn't have rushed to buy them as soon as they came."

  "Go down and entertain the guests, I'll take a look around and leave soon."

  Xu Zhanggui responded with a "yes" and then left through the door.

  Xia Ting Cong looked out the window at the crowd below, where many people had already started buying fabrics. Lv Wen, who was standing behind Xia Ting Cong with Wan Yu, was a bit surprised - this was the first time Miss had taken her out, as she usually stayed in the mansion to take care of some trivial matters.

  Today, the young lady suddenly took her out of the house and came to this prosperous shop. She's not a fool, how could she not see that the shopkeeper earlier was obviously treating the young lady as his master?

  So, isn't this shop opened by the young lady? Lv Wei immediately thought again, since the young lady brought her out and didn't avoid her when interacting with that shopkeeper. Doesn't that mean the young lady already considers her a trustworthy confidant? That's why she didn't keep this matter from her.

  Lu'er's eyes sparkled with excitement as she thought about it. Unlike Wan Yu, who had been following Miss since childhood, Lu'er had only served Miss for three years. Yet, she was able to gain Miss' trust, which showed that Miss was quite satisfied with her service over the years. This was why Miss gave her the same treatment as Wan Yu.

  Having thought it through, Lu Wei put away her surprised expression and continued to stand respectfully behind Xia Ting's back. Since she was fortunate enough to have earned Miss's trust, she would naturally do her own duty well. Not asking too many questions was also part of a servant's duty.

  Xia Ting also saw the changing expression on Lu Wu's face, she didn't say anything, just smiled faintly. As long as the other party understood themselves, this little girl had been following her for a few years, although not as long as Wan Yu had been with her, but she could still see the other party's loyalty. So today she chose to bring it out, rather than hiding it from the other party.

  After some thought, Xia Tingjing cast her gaze downward again, and upon seeing a certain person, she paused slightly.

  Wang Yu Jiao was currently leading several maids in a big cleanup at the Snow Refining Workshop, and everything she saw seemed good to her, just like an old mouse that had fallen into a rice jar.

  Just finished sweeping the fabric, and then turned to pounce on those made clothes.

  Just when I was having a great time, I suddenly saw a golden hundred-butterfly embroidered cloud brocade skirt, and my heart immediately liked it tightly. I hurriedly stretched out my hand, but didn't expect another pair of hands to stretch towards the same dress.

  Wang Yu Jiao saw that someone was actually competing with her for the clothes, and suddenly became furious, staring at the person who came, but unexpectedly saw a pair of eyes burning with anger.

  Seeing her opponent, Wang Yu Jiao suddenly cried out "It's you, Huang Xiu Yun."

  That elegant woman named Huang Xiuyun, who was holding a golden hundred-butterfly embroidered cloud-patterned skirt, glared at Wang Yuqiao and said "What if it's me?"

  The eyes of the two people met in mid-air, and a crackling sound seemed to echo through the air.

  Wang Yu-jiao haughtily snorted, "This dress was the one I looked at first, you let go of it."

  Huang Xiuyun was furious upon hearing this: "What's going on? I had my eye on that dress too, you should be the one to give it up."

  Last time, Wang Yu Jiao humiliated her and she still hasn't forgotten. She actually dared to scold her as a poor ghost on the street, almost driving her crazy. This time, she came to fight with her over clothes, and she really was at odds with this person. Fortunately, Second Brother didn't marry such a shrew into their family.

  Wang Yu-jiao suddenly pulled her clothes and shouted, "You think you're beautiful, this dress can only be mine. Besides, can your family afford to buy this dress?"

  It's just a poor devil who dares to fight with her for clothes, and there is no door.

  Huang Xiuyun said angrily, "Who says we can't afford it? It's just a piece of clothing. What's so great about you? You're just the daughter of a merchant, and your father still has to fawn on our family. How dare you speak to me like that?"

  She was so angry that her eyes were about to spout fire, this Wang Yujiao relied on her family having some money and kept showing off in front of her, as if afraid others wouldn't know her family's wealth. What's the point of being rich anyway? She's just a lowly merchant's daughter, how can she compare to an official's noble daughter like herself?

  Wang Yu-jiao's face turned red with anger as she shouted, "What did you say? Who wants to fawn on your family? It's obvious that you've set your sights on our family's property and want to take advantage of us. Who would want to fawn on a poor family like yours? Let go of my hand at once, this dress is mine!"

  Huang Xiuyun grasped the clothes and refused to let go, shouting "You're a crazy woman! Your family is the one that's really poor. Who would want your family's property? It's obvious you were eager to give it to my second brother as a dowry. Luckily, my second brother didn't marry you, or he would have been cursed for eight lifetimes. This piece of clothing belongs to me, don't think I'll let you have it."

  Two people each pulled one side of a golden hundred-butterfly embroidered cloud-patterned skirt, neither giving in to the other, with shouts and curses ringing out continuously.

  This caused all the ladies and girls who came to pick out dresses to avoid them, secretly despising the two people who were quarreling loudly.

  The maid of the Snow Workshop hurried forward to mediate, hoping that the two could discuss and reconcile. See if one party can choose another dress instead. This golden hundred butterfly cloud embroidery dress has several different colors, but because the style is extremely beautiful, the rest have been taken away by others early on. Now there's only this one left, and the maid also feels helpless.

  But Wang Yujiao and Huang Xiuyun wouldn't listen, the two had been at odds for a long time, if either of them gave up on this piece of clothing, wouldn't that mean they were yielding to the other? The two remained deadlocked.

  Xia Ting watched with interest as the two people in the field argued, never expecting that Wang Yu Jiao would come to Xue Dian Fang to buy clothes. The Wang family's business had been severely damaged by her not long ago, yet she still had the heart to continue throwing money around like dirt. Look at those things she specifically asked for. She was truly a prodigal daughter, and it was unknown whether her father would one day be driven to death by her actions.

  Cai Zhanggui hastily pushed through the crowd to arrive at the scene of the incident, attempting to mediate the situation. Xia Tingjing did not come downstairs to intervene, as far as she was concerned, if Xu Zhanggui couldn't even resolve this small matter properly, how could she entrust him with managing Snow Refining Workshop?

  In the end, the shopkeeper picked out two more beautiful dresses and with his silver tongue managed to persuade both of them to give up on the golden hundred butterfly embroidered cloud patterned satin dress, and instead each bought a dress recommended by Shopkeeper Xu.

  The farce has come to an end.

  Xia Ting shook her head secretly, these two people really didn't know how to behave. In this store where people come and go, most of them are noble women. But they still chose to quarrel loudly in such a situation, after today, the reputation of these two women will probably be completely ruined. Which family would want to marry a daughter who doesn't understand etiquette? It's not like they're tired of the peace and quiet at home.

  Xia Tingjing got up elegantly, bringing Wan Yu and Lü Wei down the stairs together. The Snow Refining Workshop was doing extremely well, with nothing to worry about, so she planned to go downstairs to pick out a few bolts of fabric and have the tailor make some clothes.

  Xia Ting walked straight to the counter with various luxurious fabrics and carefully selected them. She was looking at the most expensive and luxurious silks, satins and brocades, and ordinary people with discerning eyes wouldn't disturb her.

  But unexpectedly, a dissatisfied shout came from behind "Hey, get out of my way."
