Yan Bing helped Zhao Er collect all the goods outside the store back into the store, and then closed the door of the store. Then he dusted his hands and asked Zhao Er: "Do you know what you need to prepare as a betrothal gift?
"
When Zhao Er heard this, all the keys in his hand fell to the ground.
"Sister, what are you doing!? You even found me a wife!??"
Yan Bing frowned, laughed evilly, poked Zhao Er in the forehead and said, "What are you thinking!?? I prepared this for myself! It's for marriage proposal!"
"Ah??" Zhao Er was stunned for a moment. After bending down to pick up the key, he said hesitantly: "How can a girl's family propose marriage to a man?? I know that my sister is not an ordinary person, so I can't lower myself.
!”
Yan Bing chuckled, then turned around and walked out of the alley, saying without looking back: "Don't worry, the other person is also a girl!"
"Oh... What!???" It took a while for Zhao Er to react suddenly, and he followed him, chasing after her and asking questions all the way. Li Bing also asked her how she and Lingyue met and how they became sisters.
, and how to break the shackles between the two step by step was all told to Zhao Er.
Zhao Er listened in the back and was stunned for a while. When Yan Bing finished speaking, he was silent for a while... looking at Yan Bing's back, he said sincerely: "How about I call you big brother from now on... I think
Or is the word "big brother" more suitable for you..."
"Go away! Isn't this a joke!?" Although Yan Bing did not look back, there was a hint of anger in his tone, and Zhao Er finally gave up the idea.
The two of them walked to the West Market in the capital, and Yan Bing slowly turned around, looked at Zhao Er and said, "I have already bought gifts, jewelry, silk and satin, what else do I need to buy now?"
Zhao Er chuckled, pointed to a store wrapped in red silk on the street, and said loudly: "Everything is sold there!"
Yan Bing looked in the direction of his finger, then frowned at Zhao Er and said, "Are you sure? Why do I think this shop looks like a brothel?"
Zhao Er was directly amused by Yan Bing. After bending down and laughing, he said leisurely: "Sister! That's called Xipu! How can a brothel be so shabby?"
Yan Bing didn't feel embarrassed, but looked at Zhao Er with a wicked smile and asked, "What? Have you been to a brothel?"
Looking at Zhao Er again, the smile on his face immediately stopped. He straightened his back with a red face and said three words confidently: "Go! No! Get up!"
"To be honest, I still want to go. It's okay. I'll go shopping with you someday when I'm free! In fact, I'm quite curious too." Yan Bing said jokingly, then turned around and walked towards the store.
"Sister, please stop making trouble!" Zhao Er followed with a naive smile.
Yan Bing took the lead and walked into the wedding shop. There was a dazzling array of goods inside, ranging from food to daily necessities, and there were even baskets of cakes... She was dumbfounded at the time and had no idea what to buy...
…
And the proprietress on the side was also dumbfounded... This is the first time that a girl has come to the shop for such a long time, and she doesn't know how to greet her...
Only Zhao Er came in and said with a natural look: "Madam boss! A betrothal gift from the husband's family!"
The landlady looked dully at Yan Bing, who was gorgeously dressed, and then at Zhao Er, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes... She was instantly curious, and she came closer and asked in a low voice with a silly smile on her face: "You two... are you planning to have sex privately?"
Is it a life-long commitment? Sister, I admire the courage of the two of you very much, can I give you a 20% discount?"
Yan Bing rolled his eyes at the landlady, and then said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, he is my brother!"
"Your brother??" The landlady looked at Zhao Er's clothes carefully with a surprised look on her face, and then said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, your concept of "poor to raise children, rich to raise daughters" has been implemented... very thoroughly..."
After hearing this, Yan Bing didn't know what to say. He wondered why he met such a gossipy boss lady... He had the urge to turn around and leave.
"I just finished my work and haven't had time to change yet. The boss lady just needs to prepare." Zhao Er is indeed a waiter who has been working for many years. He can tell white lies easily and deal with it with just one sentence.
The landlady nodded with suspicion, turned around slowly, walked to the counter, picked up a pen and ink, and said, "I wonder what specifications this guy... wants?"
Zhao Er heard this and looked at Yan Bing...
"High-quality specifications! As high as you can!" Yan Bing replied directly without thinking.
Zhao Er hurriedly patted Yan Bing's shoulder and said, "Sister, there is not much difference between the upper and lower classes... You don't have to be so excited..."
As soon as Yan Bing heard this, he realized that he was timid. He instantly blushed and nodded...
The landlady smiled and didn't say much. She just picked up the account book and started writing, saying in rapid succession: "Once you hire the cake, seafood: abalone, oysters, scallops, mushrooms, dried shrimps, squid, sea cucumbers, and shark's fins."
, two pairs of coconuts, wine..."
"I've prepared the wine myself!" Yan Bing interrupted directly.
The landlady nodded, then drew an
One each for the bamboo shoots, one for the oil and sesame tea gift, one for the post box, one for the two buckets of rice, and one for the incense sticks and candles, totaling... eleven taels or three coins."
"Is this... already the highest standard?" Yan Bing asked with a frown.
"Yes? What's wrong?" Zhao Er looked puzzled.
Yan Bing looked at Zhao Er, with depression written all over his face, and said slowly: "It's too cheap... I'm afraid I'm not sincere enough..."
"Cheap!!???" Zhao Er grabbed the felt hat on his head and shouted loudly: "Eleven taels of silver!! Still cheap!???"
When the proprietress heard this, her expression was completely opposite. She was full of smile and said softly: "If you feel that sincerity is not enough, you can give us a hundred taels! Then these things can be considered as bought for a hundred taels! How about this sincerity!"
??”
When Zhao Er heard this, he immediately became anxious and shouted at the landlady: "Are you treating my sister as a fool!!??" Then he turned around and saw Yan Bing touching his chin, looking hesitant and shouting speechlessly.
Said: "You really thought about it!!!"
"That's it! Eleven taels! Load the car!!! Send it to..." Zhao Er wanted to make a quick decision. The provincial sister was really stupid, but when he opened his mouth... he didn't know where to send it, so he could only look at Yan Bing again.
say……
Yan Bing sensed Zhao Er's eyes and directly added: "Send to Tongshun City, Duke Dingguo's Mansion!"
"Dingguo Duke's Mansion!!!??" Zhao Er and the landlady exclaimed in unison at the same time.
Yan Bing blinked, looked at them and said, "Yes, Duke Dingguo's Mansion, what's wrong?"
Zhao Er then asked hesitantly: "I heard... the Duke Dingguo who received the envelope from the imperial court is a woman... could it be... that she is the one my sister wants to marry?"
"What!!?? She wants to marry Duke Dingguo!!??" The landlady's eyes once again shone with curiosity.
Yan Bing looked at Zhao Er, then at the proprietress, sighed... and said slowly: "She is not... I am Duke Dingguo..." After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Er and asked: "
Didn't you see the imperial list? My name is written on it!"
Zhao Er, however, froze on the spot with a dazed look on his face and said nothing...
"I'm talking to you!" Yan Bing raised his hand and pulled Zhao Er.
Zhao Er looked like he had just woken up. He shivered, squeezed his eyes, looked at Yan Bing with an embarrassed look and said, "I've been... busy all day long... and... I
I can’t even recognize a few words..."
Yan Bing shrugged after hearing this.
That's right...
He can't understand it himself, and others won't seek death on their own. He talks about the Duke's name all day long, so it's normal if he doesn't know...
Thinking of this, Yan Bing immediately turned to look at the proprietress and said, "Anyway, these things will be sent to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow. Counting you fifteen taels, the extra will be considered as travel expenses."
The landlady nodded dully... her eyes were still wide open as she looked at Yan Bing in silence...
Yan Bing was already used to this kind of "treatment". Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the store with Zhao Er. He asked with a smile on his face: "Sister, think about it, is there anything else you haven't bought?"
Zhao Er tilted his head and thought for a while, raised his fist and smashed his palm and said: "There are still three animals left! But those things are sold everywhere..."
And as the voices of the two people talking became farther and farther away... the face of the proprietress in the shop also gradually changed.
From the look of astonishment on his face just now, he suddenly became calm and determined...
She slowly walked out of the store, looked around, and then started to put boards on the door. Finally, she hung the out-of-business sign at the door, then turned around and hurried to Heijinsi...
