Guixiangchun is indeed the best silk fabric shop in Jingzhao Prefecture. As soon as Xu Lu entered the door, she was dazzled by the various kinds of fabrics in the store. On the left side of the door was a row of tall shelves with hanging
There are ready-made clothes of various fabrics. To the right is the counter, half of which is neatly laid out with dozens of pieces of satin. At the back of the store is a row of long tables, filled with all kinds of fabrics.
Xu Lushi coughed lightly and told the old woman and the maid: "Sister-in-law Yu, Xiao Tao, you just wait here." Since a cheap son fell from the sky as a filial piety, naturally he would not take it for free, and he would pick more later.
Okay, let's talk about it, but we have to block the door first to prevent this cheap son from escaping.
It was only the morning, but there were already many customers in the store. Several waiters were busy greeting each other, and had no time to greet Xu Zizhen and his group. There was a young woman sitting behind the counter, she looked very handsome, and it looked like this was where it was.
As the shopkeeper, when she saw that all the waiters were busy, she got up and came out to greet Xu Zizhen with a smile: "Sir, do you want to buy fabrics or make clothes?"
Xu Zizhen said calmly: "Both of them."
The female shopkeeper is young but has a sharp eye. Although Xu Zizhen is dirty and unkempt - he hasn't shaved for a long time and has a thick beard on his cheeks, he can't hide his majestic appearance.
Yes, and the robe Xu Zizhen wore was specially made for him by Li Luoyan. The collar, sleeves and placket were sewn with fine fox armpit leather. It was smooth and smooth and had an excellent texture. Even rich people might not be able to buy it.
goods.
Although Xu Lushi was born as a small farmer, she has gained a lot of knowledge in the past few years. She has already known whether Xu Zizhen has money or not, so she is not afraid that this boy will not have money to pay the bill. She has entered the store with her eyes.
It didn't stop, and her daughter-in-law, the old woman, and the maid were also looking around.
The female shopkeeper smiled sweeter and sweeter, pointed to the satins on the counter and said: "Your Majesty, you might as well take a look at these materials, this is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Zizhen had already nodded and said, "Well, it's really good Shu brocade. Wrap this, this, and this for me." He moved his fingers together and selected four or five pieces.
The female shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then she smiled like a flower and asked a boy to wrap it up. This young man seemed to be a financial backer at first glance, and he took it without even asking the price. I am afraid there will be a big deal today.
Xu Lushi was also stunned. She originally just wanted to catch the autumn breeze, but she didn't expect Xu Zizhen to be so generous, which made her feel a little embarrassed: "Son, it's just a few feet, why buy these?"
?This won’t cost a lot of money.”
Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "Money earned is spent. It's February now, and the robe on my mother is already too thick. I'll make some spring clothes before the weather gets warmer, and I can change them later."
"Having said this, he turned around and smiled at Xu Lu's daughter-in-law, "Sister-in-law is not polite, oh, and Sister-in-law Yu and Xiao Tao's clothes are also a bit old, so let's just choose some materials together."
"Yeah, there's still one for us?" The daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law's little maid looked surprised.
Xu Zizhen smiled heartily: "Of course." Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he said to Xu Lushi with some embarrassment, "Mother, please choose first. I don't know what's wrong with my stomach... I'll go ahead and take care of my baby."
After asking for the location of the hut, he hurried away.
Xu Lushi just took a piece of material and looked at it, and suddenly stopped. At this time, she had no choice but to choose. What if Xu Zizhen left and never came back?
But she soon realized that she had been worrying too much. It didn't take long for Xu Zizhen to come back, and she continued to choose with confidence.
These ladies were like mice dropped into a rice vat. Whether it was Sichuan brocade, silk or satin, they wanted all the ones they saw, and in a short time they had selected a pile that looked like a small mountain.
Xu Zizhen was still smiling, as if he was honoring his own mother, and he would come up with ideas from time to time. After a while, he looked around and asked the shopkeeper: "Can you make it fresh here? Give it to me first.
My mother and sister-in-law will take the measurements and use the best materials in your shop to make a few outfits."
The female shopkeeper immediately agreed: "Hey, I'll call you right now." After saying that, she turned around and called inside, only to see an old tailor measuring the dimensions of an old man. When he heard the shopkeeper's call, he responded, but
The old man seemed to have a lot of demands and couldn't leave at once.
Xu Zizhen looked over and almost stared out of his eyes. The customer being measured was none other than the nagging old man from before.
Damn, are you really cooperating with me?
Xu Zizhen muttered to himself, but said dissatisfiedly: "Shopkeeper, please hurry up, I have to accompany my mother to dinner."
The shopkeeper quickly apologized and said, "It's coming right now, please wait a moment."
Xu Zizhen said impatiently: "Let's do this. I won't be able to get these materials later. You send two guys to take them back to Jingzhao Yin Mansion first. When my mother takes the measurements, I will pay the bill together."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he did not ask in detail about his relationship with Jingzhao Fuyin. He assigned two guys to pull a car out from the backyard and move all the selected fabrics to the car. Xu Zizhen naturally asked Daye to
"Lead the way" and led the two guys away.
The tailor couldn't come over for a while, so Xu Zizhen put his hand on his stomach and said impatiently: "Please tell him to hurry up, I have to go to the latrine again... Mom, look at the ready-made clothes here, they are quite well made."
Xu Lu didn't take it seriously, and then looked at the fabrics and clothes. Xu Zizhen hurriedly came to the latrine again. When he got to the door, he looked around. After making sure that no one was there, he hurriedly took a few steps and jumped up. He put his hands on the courtyard wall for a moment.
He turned over with all his strength and quickly disappeared into the deep alley outside the wall.
After about a stick of incense, the old man finally finished taking the measurements, but he seemed to be dissatisfied with something, so he finally left. The tailor came over and was about to start measuring Xu Lu's measurements. The old ladies suddenly realized, what happened to the cheap son this time?
You haven't come back after being gone for so long?
Not only she, but also the shopkeeper sensed something was wrong, and called a waiter to give instructions in a low voice. The waiter ran quickly to the back of the house, and soon ran back, looking panicked and said: "Shopkeeper, there is no one in the latrine.
"
Xu Lushi and the shopkeeper's hearts trembled at the same time. The shopkeeper's pretty face changed at a moment's notice, and all the waiters gathered around him with a wave of his hand.
"Madam, your husband has left. Do you think you can settle this account?"
Mrs. Xu Lushi didn't believe that Xu Zizhen was a liar until now, but she waited and waited, but no one was there. Her old face turned green and white, and she didn't care about the shopkeeper. She turned around and whispered a few instructions to the old lady.
My sister-in-law ran out.
The waiter didn't stop her, but just surrounded Xu Lushi without moving. The shopkeeper also changed his previous enthusiasm and stared at her coldly.
Xu Lu didn't panic. Anyway, all the fabrics were sent to the house. If she was really cheated, she would just have someone send the fabrics back. Is it possible that this mere merchant can still make things difficult for her? Her own son is a dignified person.
Official appointed by the imperial court.
After a long time like this, Sister-in-law Yu suddenly ran in panting, her face was very ugly, and she said in a dignified manner: "Old lady, the fabric... was not sent to the house."
"What?" Xu Lu finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly, her face as white as paper.
Just at this moment, two more people ran in outside the door. They were the guys who had just delivered the goods. Both of them had obvious swellings on their foreheads. As soon as they entered the door, they cried: "Shopkeeper, the guy who led the way patted us both."
