A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 279 One Sweeter Than the Other

Qianmian was taken aback, not understanding what Zhou Hanzhang meant by those words.

"Usually, the outside world only finds out who the participants are on the day of the competition. If it weren't for that woman from Diewuxuan getting such an outstanding woman, she probably wouldn't have brought her here to show off to me."

Ever since I opened this brothel, she's been constantly trampled underfoot by us, and now we're hoping to get our revenge with that woman. I was even thinking of poaching her, but what a pity, that woman seems to be related to that old woman in some way.”

Qianmian continued to mock, "It's not easy for her; she's even trained her family members to be prostitutes."

However, after his sarcasm, he changed his tone, "But if it were me, I would make the same decision as her. She's a character."

Zhou Hanzhang was about to say something to him, since he had somehow gotten involved with him and his behavior was not much different from that of Diewuxuan's mother. Who would have thought that he would actually endorse the other person's behavior?

I don't know if it's because we've been in this industry for a long time, but we do look somewhat alike.

She said what she wanted to say, "You're still my brother, aren't you?"

"Hey, no, I'm your sister now."

Qianmian didn't dwell on the topic for long. "Oh, you should help me choose which of these girls we should send to participate."

When Zhou Hanzhang asked the ladies earlier, he had already gotten a general understanding of them.

Although they are all skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and are exquisitely beautiful, after observing them for a while, it is still found that each of these girls has their own unique characteristics.

She picked out five people and told Qianmian. Qianmian was puzzled, "Why pick these few? And four people would have been enough, we only have five people participating."

"We need to have an extra option so that if any of the girls have problems, we can have another girl to fill in."

Qianmian thought it made sense, "You've thought it through. Let's do it that way."

He told the other girls to leave first, and the remaining girls to stay. Zhou Hanzhang said to Qianmian, "Have them give me their clothing measurements, and I will make some clothes according to their characteristics."

With her taking such initiative, Qianmian wouldn't hesitate and immediately had the five girls write down their measurements.

While they were thinking about the sizes, Zhou Hanzhang had already designed several sets of eye-catching clothes that he had seen in his mind, according to different styles.

In addition to the spring, summer, autumn and winter series, there are also plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum series, each with its own specific meaning.

If Qianmian was initially pleasantly surprised to receive Zhou Hanzhang's manuscript, now it can only be described as stunning.

Zhou Hanzhang did not accept Qianmian's money. He was about to take the manuscript to find someone to make the corresponding clothes when she stopped him.

“I can give these manuscripts to Hongyanfang, but Hongyanfang needs to agree to one condition.”

"What conditions?"

Qianmian wouldn't agree to Zhou Hanzhang's conditions just because of these clothes. What if she said something that would make things difficult for her?

Seeing his reaction, Zhou Hanzhang couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be nervous. It's not a difficult thing for you. I just hope to use these manuscripts to get your Hongyanfang to order clothes from our Li Family Cloth Shop in the future. Moreover, our Li Family Cloth Shop uses top-quality materials and has the best embroiderers in the entire capital. It's definitely no worse than what you usually order."

After considering it for a moment, Qianmian agreed. These manuscripts were so valuable that even money couldn't guarantee their purchase, so it was perfectly normal for Zhou Hanzhang to make such a request.

Besides, although the Li family's cloth shop's products are expensive, they are all worth the price. If he can use the Li family's cloth shop and get Zhou Hanzhang's batch of design drafts for free, he will make a profit no matter how you look at it.

"Okay, it's settled then. If you're willing to continue designing clothes for our Red Beauty Studio in the future, in addition to ordering clothes from your Li Family Fabric Shop, we'll also give you a fee for the manuscripts."

"Let's talk about that later. Let's take care of this matter first. Have someone take this manuscript to my cousin. He can arrange for expedited delivery. At most, these clothes will be delivered in three days."

Seeing how enthusiastically they were talking, the girls present couldn't help but become curious and went over to look at Zhou Hanzhang's manuscript. Once they saw it, everyone's eyes were glued to it.

The way they looked at Zhou Hanzhang next was frighteningly enthusiastic, each one sweeter than the last, "Good brother, could you paint a couple more for me? I don't need the workshop to pay for it, I'll pay for it myself."

Although they worked in brothels, they were no less knowledgeable than others, and in fact, they were probably more knowledgeable than many young ladies from respectable families.

Upon seeing Zhou Hanzhang's manuscript, how could anyone not know that it was a treasure? Not to mention the Great Zhou, even if we include neighboring countries, it was unique.

If we don't seize such talent, when will we ever get another chance?

He kept calling me "good brother," which almost overwhelmed Zhou Hanzhang.

Finally, Qianmian stepped in and said, "That's enough, Zhangzhang is drawing all the pictures for you now. If the other sisters knew, they would be green with envy. Now that you've gotten what you wanted, stop pretending. Get down here. If you keep bothering Zhangzhang like this, she won't be able to draw you a few more pictures."

Qianmian truly understood them. As soon as he said this, the five girls all dispersed. However, before leaving, they didn't forget to wink at Zhou Hanzhang, "Good brother, remember to draw me a couple more pieces."

As Zhou Hanzhang watched these beautiful women showering him with attention, he began to understand why men were always willing to immerse themselves in the world of gentle pleasures.

Even she, a woman, would find it difficult to withstand such a situation.

After the girls left, Qianmian looked at Zhou Hanzhang and asked, "Why don't you design a few outfits for yourself?"

"No rush, let's get the girls' things done first."

Qianmian frowned. "How can this be? Let's just finish making them together first."

Zhou Hanzhang thought about it and decided that since that was the case, he would design it all at once.

With a few quick strokes, she drew several more outfits, each a style distinct from the ones she had previously drawn for the girls.

Qianmian was thrilled as he held the manuscripts. He immediately called someone over and gave them instructions, "Remember to go find Young Master Li. Be polite and tell him that Zhang Zhang sent us. The amount of money doesn't matter."

Seeing his expression, Zhou Hanzhang recalled some rumors he had heard before and couldn't help but laugh, "You're still very generous."

"I love money, but I also know the principle of spending it when necessary. There's a saying that if you don't spend a little, you won't make a lot of money. Besides, if I win this competition, there will be a large prize. Although I didn't come here for the prize money, I'm determined to get it. Spending a little money is no big deal."
