Perhaps having tasted the sweetness of success, Wang Manwen became increasingly excessive. She almost copied all the styles of Su Mingyu's clothes.
The market became over - saturated, and both clothes and fabrics began to sell poorly.
So, Su Mingyu took the lead in starting a price war and even introduced a membership card system. The prices were not only cheap, but the quality was also top - notch.
For a while, among all the clothing workshops in the capital, only Sinnan Pavilion remained bustling with customers.
Xia Mian was very worried as she watched the shop losing more and more money. "Miss Su, for each piece we sell, we earn much less than before. Although it doesn't seem like much for each item, the total amount is quite a lot..."
Su Mingyu calmly took a sip of tea and then said slowly, "Don't be impatient. First, focus on small profits but quick turnover."
After dealing with the affairs of Sinnan Pavilion, Su Mingyu sauntered back to the Minister's Mansion.
As soon as she sat down, she saw Zhizhu walking in with a worried look on her face. "Miss... Second Miss is looking for you."
"Let her in."
Today, Su Yueyue was wearing a light yellow dress that perfectly outlined her slender figure, looking extremely cute.
Su Mingyu put on a polite smile. "Sister, why do you have the time to come and visit me today?"
Su Yueyue smiled gently. "Didn't the King of Yu say last time when he came to see me that he would take us out for a trip when the weather got warmer?"
Su Mingyu nodded. She remembered this, but...
Was Su Yueyue actually willing to let her meet the King of Yu?
Su Yueyue took Su Mingyu's hand. "The King of Yu's people are already waiting outside. Sister, let's go together."
Now, Su Mingyu understood why Su Yueyue had dressed up so carefully today.
It turned out to be a date with a handsome man.
She had deliberately chosen a time when Su Mingyu didn't have time to dress up. She was really painstaking.
But Su Mingyu wasn't angry. She didn't have any feelings for the King of Yu anyway. "Since that's the case, sister, you go quickly. I won't go..."
"Why not?" Just then, a tall figure walked in through the door. "The spring sun is shining brightly today. It's a great time to enjoy the flowers. Isn't it a waste not to go and see the flowers and plants outside?"
The King of Yu frowned when he saw Su Yueyue wearing thin clothes. Then he carefully took off his cloak and wrapped it around Su Yueyue.
Under the warm spring sun, one was tall and handsome, and the other was petite and lovely. They looked like a perfect match no matter how you looked at them.
Su Mingyu really had to hold back her urge to roll her eyes as she watched this scene of mutual affection. She even wanted to clap for these two "actors".
The King of Yu looked at Su Yueyue tenderly. "Although the weather is fine, it's still a bit cold. You've just recovered from a serious illness. You shouldn't catch a cold."
Su Yueyue's cheeks turned red. From afar, she looked like a ripe peach, really adorable.
The King of Yu's tone softened a bit. "I saw that you didn't come for a long time, so I came to look for you. It turns out that Miss Mingyu is not willing to go on a trip with me."
As he said this, the King of Yu turned his gaze to Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu was dressed simply today. She was wearing a white long gown that covered her whole body.
Her long black hair was tied up at the back of her head. Although her fresh and beautiful appearance wasn't as eye - catching as Su Yueyue's, she looked neat and tidy.
After not seeing her for many days, she seemed to have developed an elegant temperament, quiet and aloof, like a snow lotus on a high mountain, beautiful but hard to reach.
Su Mingyu clearly saw the appreciation in the King of Yu's eyes. She gently nodded. "It would be an honor for Mingyu to go on a trip with the King of Yu."
Since Su Yueyue wanted her to go, why not go and have a look?
The spring sun was warm, and it felt really comfortable on the body.
Su Mingyu obediently sat on the pavilion beside and watched Su Yueyue and the King of Yu being lovey - dovey. She also took the opportunity to enjoy the envious looks on other people's faces.
The so - called trip that the King of Yu mentioned was actually in the backyard of his mansion, and he had invited many people.
More and more people gathered around Su Yueyue. Su Mingyu frowned and observed for a while. When she listened carefully, it seemed that they were having a poetry competition below.
In her memory, Su Yueyue was indeed a girl with both talent and beauty. The poems she heard did have some merit.
Su Mingyu didn't want to join in this excitement and turned around to leave. Suddenly, Su Yueyue excitedly waved at her. "Sister! Sister!"
She blushed and invited, "Sister! It's rare that the weather is so nice and the atmosphere is so great today. Why don't we have a poetry duel?"
As soon as she said this, almost everyone looked at Su Mingyu with a mocking expression.
Everyone knew that Su Mingyu, the eldest daughter of the Su family, was of average talent. Even though Minister Su had specially invited a teacher to teach her at home, she had only learned to read.
Now that Su Yueyue was inviting her to compose poems, wasn't it just waiting for everyone to laugh at her?
Seeing that Su Mingyu didn't respond for a long time, Su Yueyue showed a nice smile. "It's okay, sister. You can use the content you've seen in books."
Su Yueyue really had a good plan!
If Su Mingyu won, people would say that she didn't have real talent and won unfairly. If she lost, she would get a stupid reputation for even losing when reciting books.
No matter what the result was, it seemed that she was destined to be the entertainment of this flower - viewing banquet.
But she should also thank her show - off sister for giving her a chance to make a fresh start.
Just when everyone was waiting to see a joke, Su Mingyu nodded and agreed. "However... how can using other people's poems be worthy of competing with sister? I'll use my own. Sister, you go first?"
Su Mingyu's words about composing her own poems took Su Yueyue by surprise.
She was stunned at first, then curled her lips, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.
Since Su Mingyu wanted to hit the knife's edge herself, don't blame her for being ruthless.
"You're the elder sister. You go first."
As she said this, Su Yueyue pointed to the peach blossoms behind her. "Let's take the most common peach blossoms as the topic."
