In the shop, Ximen Qing led Xia Xun to the second floor. He smiled as he walked: "Is this shop powerful? The owner of this shop is a legend in the north. Although he can't keep up with Jiangnan Shen Wansan, his fortune Shi Na is also quite legendary. The owner of Xie's fur goods is named Xie Chuanzhong. It is said that in his early years, he worked as a sheep herder for a landlord's family and worked as a sheepherder all over the mountains and plains. Later, he became rich inexplicably."
Ximen Qing looked around and lowered his voice: "Some people say that he discovered the den of a group of horse thieves who were wiped out and got a large sum of gold, silver and jewelry. Some people say that he discovered Bei Yuan who fled in panic. There are different opinions on the large sum of money buried by high officials, but no matter what, they are prosperous.
Even though Xie Chuanzhong is illiterate, he has a good head. If you don't have the ability, you must have the opportunity to show off your ability. I didn't see him having this ability before, but Xie Chuanzhong has it since then. He didn't just sit back and make money, he actually started a business, and in more than ten years, he became the number one fur businessman in Beiping City.
Nowadays, not only the nobles in Peiping City must come to his store to buy leather goods, but also merchants from all over the world come to his store to purchase goods. If you want to be rich, this Mr. Xie is richer than our Prince Yan. How arrogant? Of course. , he was born a sheepherder, and everyone in Beiping knew that the dignitaries did not pay much attention to him. Even the common people were only jealous and envious, not to mention respectful. But now, in this generation, That’s it, what about two or three generations later? He is one of the top gentry in Peiping City, who would ridicule his ancestor’s downfall..."
Xia Xun thought to himself: "Of course there are many capable people who are illiterate but have quick minds and can achieve great things. But if you want to become the richest gentry in the huge city of Peiping in just a dozen years, I'm afraid... you may not necessarily follow the rules and follow the right path. The meeting point that Ximen Qing took me to just now is a branch of Xie's family. Could it be that the big boss responsible for smuggling and smuggling between the north and the south in Beiping is Xie Chuanzhong?"
Thinking secretly, the two of them strolled around on the second floor and then went directly to the third floor. The clothes on the third floor were the most expensive and there were the fewest people. Ximen Qing and Xia Xun went straight to the counter without looking at the furs. , said to the waiter inside: "Excuse me, please come out from your shopkeeper. We have three pairs of fine fox furs to make fur collars and a fine fur coat."
The waiter saw that his clothes were simple and his tone was serious, but he didn't judge anyone based on his clothes or hat. He nodded politely to them and said, "Two guests, please wait a moment." He opened the door curtain and entered the inner room.
After a while, an old man with gray hair came out with him. He glanced at Xia Xun and the other two, cupped his hands and said: "You two, I am the shopkeeper here. I don't know what kind of leather collar the two guests want. Do you have any details?" requirements?”
Xia Xun put three pieces of red fox fur on the table, and the old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "Good leather, really good stuff."
He picked up a piece of leather, rubbed the hem of his clothes with his palm, gently stroked the fur, and then carefully inspected the incision marks to make sure there were no scars. He couldn't help but praise: "Good, it's really excellent. It's so good." I only see three to five furs a year, and fox furs with such a fiery red color are even rarer. It's rare for the guest to come up with three at once. Do these three have to be made into fur collars? Is the guest willing to sell them? "
Ximen Qing quickly asked: "How much can the shopkeeper pay?"
Xia Xun glared at Ximen Qing, nodded and said: "Yes, three, all made of leather collars, and matched with a fur coat of suitable color and style. These three leather collars, um..., that's it, one should suit the three.
The one worn by women around ten years old should be elegant, charming and generous, suitable for sitting at home. The other one should not be bulky and cumbersome, and the same goes for the corresponding fur coat. It should be suitable for walking and activities outside, you can try...
"
He looked around, pointed to a leather coat that had been made, and said: "Similar to this set of small lapels, it is convenient for walking and riding horses. What about that girl? She is only nineteen or seventeen years old. She needs to look heroic in her dress."
.”
Ximen Qing winked at the side and chuckled: "Given to Miss Peng? Oh, yes, I haven't asked you yet, did you two accomplish anything good? Didn't you... fall out after that?"
"
Xia Xun was talking to the shopkeeper. His voice was so low that Xia Xun couldn't hear him clearly. Ximen Qing just said that he was embarrassed to say it. Seeing that he wanted to buy something for Miss Peng, he thought they had become a happy couple.
Enemies, Ximen Qing realized that he had done a great deed, and when he felt at ease, he stopped asking questions.
The shopkeeper inside listened to Xia Xun's words and said with a smile without stroking his beard: "I understand that with a few modifications based on Hu Qiu, I can make it to meet your requirements, guest sir."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Okay, this third item is for a girl named Dou Kou. She has a petite and exquisite figure. As long as it is made to fit and be cute, the style should not be too old, just lively."
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Okay, okay, sir, could you please describe the height, fatness and weight of the three female guests?"
The waiter on the side was holding a pen and hurriedly jotting down the customer's requirements. Xia Xun and Ximen Qing described the height, fatness and weight of Sister-in-law Xiaodong, Peng Ziqi and Xiaodi respectively. The waiter wrote them down carefully, and the shopkeeper said: "
It's done. The two guests have paid the order, and I'll give you a ticket. It's just winter now, and there are many people making fur coats. I'm afraid you two have to wait for a while. In ten days, the two guests will come again.
Take a look, it should be almost done."
As the shopkeeper was talking, a girl shouted in surprise: "Wow, it's so beautiful, just like a ball of flame."
The voice was as crisp as an oriole, with an authentic Fengyang accent, followed by a burst of green grass fragrance, and a little lolita in her early ten years squeezed beside them, stood up on tiptoes hard, and carefully used her jade-white palms to gently
Caressing the fiery red fox fur, her long eyelashes blinked, her eyes full of surprise and admiration.
At this time of year, there are no unmarried women using perfume and powder casually, and incense-scented clothes must be used by married women. What should girls who love beauty and are still young do? Then wear a stick of incense.
A smoked handkerchief or a sachet is enough. This little loli only wore a sachet containing vanilla. Unexpectedly, the fragrance was so refreshing that it must be the best vanilla.
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing were squeezed to both sides by the overjoyed little Lolita. They turned to look at her and saw Crow Crow's shiny black hair, which was neatly combed and pulled into a cute double bun.
There is no jewelry on it, only two silk ropes of unknown material are tied together. The ears are as small and cute as gold ingots. There are no pierced earrings. The skin is white and moist, as if smooth ivory is showing pink.
The blood color is so bright that it can be broken by blowing. The nose is like grease, straight and small, the eyelashes are curved and the eyes are big, and the pupils are like paint.
It doesn't take Ximen Qing's superb eye for reading girls, Xia Xun can also see that this little loli is an absolute beauty. When this little girl grows up, she will definitely be a disaster-level beauty.
The little Loli regarded the two of them as nothing, and happily admired the lovely fox fur, and immediately asked excitedly: "Shopkeeper, how much does this fox fur cost? I want three of them."
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, this fox fur is not from our store. It was sent by a customer to make a custom-made fur collar."
"Oh..." The little Lolita's cheerful expression immediately collapsed, and then a voice that was full of energy, but the voice became clearer and clearer, not overbearing at all: "So, who is the customer who is sending me a fur collar?
Who is it? Maybe we can talk to him, give him a suitable price, and ask him to sell it to us."
"Yes, yes." The little loli nodded like a chicken pecking rice, looked back with a sweet smile, and praised: "Master, you are smarter, I didn't expect that."
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing turned around to look, only to find that there were two adults accompanying the little lolita. One was a monk wearing black robes. Although his appearance was somewhat angular, his temperament was extremely ordinary.
The face of another middle-aged beautiful woman is quite similar to that little lolita, but the little lolita is still in the early stages of her life. Although she is stunning, she is still a little green, but this woman is
The full moon is in the sky, crystal clear and bright. It has lost its childishness and become more transparent and pure, filling the ground with clear light.
Yes, this beautiful woman is obviously tall and graceful, with a charming face and radiant beauty. When Xia Xun and Ximen Qing saw her for the first time, it was not the angle that men usually like to admire when looking at beautiful women. They rushed towards her.
What is most striking is her temperament from the inside out, which is aloof but never domineering.
"This family is anything but ordinary." This was Xia Xun's first feeling.
"Monk? This family has its own temple. It must be an extraordinary family." This was Ximen Qing's first feeling.
"If I am not mistaken, these two little brothers are the owners of the fox skins." The woman looked at them with clear eyes: "Are you willing to sell these three fox skins? One of them
Yes, as far as the price is concerned, you will be satisfied.”
"Ahem, madam, I don't know how much you plan to pay..."
Before Ximen Qing could finish speaking, he was pulled behind by Xia Xun. This woman spoke very gently and kindly, but her smile, her eyes, and even her tone all had a noble and graceful demeanor that made people unconsciously
I was impressed by it. Fortunately, Xia Xun was well-informed. Not to mention what he had seen in his previous life, he had been killed by others in this life. He had also seen royal nobles like King Qi. He had extensive experience and his character was naturally firmer.
It actually withstood the pressure of the person who had been in power for a long time, which the other party did not intend to use.
"I'm sorry, Madam, this fox-skin is to be given to the person I love most. Maybe Madam can afford a price that is enough to make anyone tempted, but love cannot be bought with money."
The monk smiled and said: "It's not that serious. Our little lady really likes this piece of leather. If you become a beautiful person and form a good relationship, you can get several times the profit. If you buy another fox collar, you can still give it to others.
Benefit is gained and love is gained, wouldn’t it be perfect in all three aspects?”
Xia Xun smiled and said: "What the master said is true." b
