Chapter 120: Buying Clothes and Watching a Play
The waiter at Huajin Pavilion had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that the material on Shen Yu's body was expensive. He guessed that he was of noble status and walked up to him in a flattering manner to entertain him, and even Xu Zhao, who was dressed simply, was given attention.
Waiter: Even if the people around you are not your noble ones now, they will probably become your noble ones soon. He has seen many such situations in the imperial city!
It has to be said that there is a reason why Huajin Pavilion has become the largest garment shop in the entire imperial city.
Xu Zhao had visited many stores in modern times and had seen many eloquent shopping guides, but the waiter in Huajin Pavilion was beyond her expectations.
She and Shen Yu entered Huajin Pavilion, and the waiter first praised their temperament.
After learning that it was Xu Zhao who bought the clothes, he showed an expression as if it was just as I expected, and led the two of them up the stairs to the second floor.
As the waiter walked, he explained to Xu Zhao and the others, "The styles of the clothes on the first floor are a bit ordinary, and they don't reflect the nobleness of the girls. The young ladies and gentlemen from the imperial city like to buy clothes on the second floor and above."
A qualified shopping guide naturally cannot lock his or her customers on one person, but must work hard to tap potential customers.
The waiter turned his gaze to Chen Yu who was accompanying him, "If you like, you can pick one or two. Our store often launches some couple-style clothes. Each piece is unique. Many loving couples in the imperial city have come to our store to buy."
The waiter's words directly hit Shen Yu's deepest heart.
He originally just wanted to buy clothes for Xu Zhao, but he immediately became interested and first accompanied Xu Zhao to pick out a few suitable clothes for her.
Xu Zhaoren is good-looking and has fair skin, so she looks good in anything she wears.
"The one you are holding is a gold brocade, made of gold threads or gold foil cut into gold threads as the weft."
It sounded very expensive, so Xu Zhao put down the clothes in his hand.
"These two pieces, one is Yunling brocade, the other is Fuguang brocade. They are both made of top-quality materials. Do you like either of them, young lady? If you are still not satisfied, we have other fabrics here." The waiter took out two pieces of clothing made of different materials and placed them in front of Xu Zhao.
Chen Yu guessed that Xu Zhao would not dare to buy because of the high price, so he waved his hand and put the two clothes into Xu Zhao's arms, whispering: "Try them first, we are not short of money now, buy some nice clothes, and you will be happy to wear them."
Since the one who paid the money said so, Xu Zhao didn't hesitate and took the clothes to the fitting room.
While Xu Zhao was changing his clothes, Shen Yu said, “Waiter, take me to see the clothes you sell to couples.”
"Okay!" The waiter was excited, knowing that the young man would be tempted, "Sir, please come this way! Nine out of ten couples who come to our store will buy one."
The waiter led Shen Yu away.
The clothes that specialize in couples' outfits are located further inside, and are closer to the changing area, so he can see them as soon as Xu Zhao comes out.
"You can take a look, sir. If you see something you like, you can try it on. If the size is not suitable, our store can modify it and send it to your house after it is repaired."
Xu Zhao came out after changing into two sets of clothes, and felt that they both suited him well.
When she came out, a few more clothes were stuffed into her hands. She couldn't see the person in front of her as she held the clothes. She only heard a familiar voice in her ear: "Try it on quickly to see if it fits."
The two of them stayed in Huajin Pavilion for a full hour. When the shopkeeper collected the money, his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. Today was really a great day! Such a big customer came.
"Hurry up and pack the clothes for the two distinguished guests and have them delivered to King Anding!" the shopkeeper instructed the waiter, and at the end he did not forget to praise him, "You did a good job today!"
After leaving Huajin Pavilion, the moon was already bright in the sky outside, the lights were on as the night wore on, the streets were full of lights, and the flower-shaped windows of the surrounding taverns reflected the shadows of people toasting.
When Xu Zhao thought of the money he had spent in Huajin Pavilion, he cursed Chen Yu for being a spendthrift.
"If the waiter just now was in our place, he would definitely be the sales champion!" Xu Zhao noticed that the waiter was very good at observing people's expressions and captured the customers' hearts with just a few words. To be honest, she was a little flattered by the waiter's praise just now.
Chen Yu was no longer surprised that Xu Zhao would occasionally utter one or two new words. Although I didn't understand what she meant, I could guess it a little.
As he was talking, he heard the crowd around him getting agitated. "There's a new play at Yuhe Tower today. Let's go and see it!"
It turned out that the theater was rehearsing a new play, which aroused Xu Zhao's interest. She had never listened to a serious play before.
After hearing this, many people ran towards Yuhe Building, fearing that they would not be able to get a good seat.
"Would you like to go and take a look?" Xu Zhao offered.
Thinking that he could spend more time with Xu Zhao, he was naturally happy and agreed immediately, "Let's go and take a look. I haven't watched a play in many years."
The last time I watched a play was before I left the imperial city. It was my mother’s birthday that year, and my father specially had someone stage a play for her to watch.
Yuhe Tower is located in Xuanpingfang on the south side of Anyifang, but they are now very close to the entrance of Anyifang. It's just a short walk away.
The sound of stringed instruments came from the Yuhe Tower, and it seemed that the show had already begun.
This theater is a two-story building. It is already crowded because the tea on the first floor is cheap. The second floor has a wider view, but it is a pity that the cost is not low. Ordinary people only watch on the first floor, and only wealthy people go to the second floor.
"Let's go to the second floor." Chen Yu directly pulled Xu Zhao to the second floor. The second floor was mainly private rooms, many of which were still empty. The two of them randomly found a room and sat down.
Soon a waiter came to deliver tea, snacks and sunflower seeds.
Xu Zhao called to the waiter, "What play are you guys singing today?"
"Today's play was carefully choreographed by our troupe owner. We have been preparing for a month. Today is the first performance. The play is divided into two parts."
"The first part tells the story of a monarch who was captured after his country was destroyed. As a king, he was doing the lowest job in the enemy country. By chance, he met his subordinates from his old country. One of the subordinates was resourceful and found a beautiful woman. He used the beauty trick to seduce the king of the enemy country."
After explaining the first part, the waiter stopped talking in detail. "As for the second half, I won't reveal it to you two guests. You can just make a guess and continue reading."
The waiter left the private room after saying this.
"This story is quite novel." Most of the plays I watched before were about love affairs, all the same old story, but this one is really eye-opening.
The waiters in the imperial city have so many professional skills that just a few words aroused Xu Zhao's expectations for this drama.
"What do you think will happen next?" Xu Zhao picked up a cup of tea and took a sip to moisten his throat.
