Chapter 146 Something unusual happened
These days, clothes worn by poor families are mostly grey, and the brighter the colour of the cloth, the more expensive it is.
The ready-made clothes that the store brought out were in black, grass green, and dark blue, and were all embroidered with gold thread curling edges. They were obviously high-end goods at first glance.
Bu Yao didn't even dare to reach out and touch it. She just shook her head and muttered, "It's not appropriate..."
As he said this, he was about to pull Chen Chunxing away.
The woman walked out from behind the counter and stopped the two of them. With a cautious tone, she asked, "Miss, what do you think is wrong? If it's about the size, I can still make it custom."
“It doesn’t fit anywhere!”
Bu Wan shook his head like a rattle, and he no longer had the heroic spirit he had when he drew his sword to chop people.
After all, she was just an ordinary village woman before. Even if she was dragged here by the secular world, she would still live in poverty until she completely abandoned her conscience.
The woman looked at Bu Wan doubtfully, then finally realized something. She said in a deep voice, "There are only three clothing stores in the city. I'm afraid you won't be able to find a cheaper place than mine."
This is actually a bit false.
Anyway, Chen Chunxing doesn't believe it.
Those clothes are made of the finest silk. Even if everyone here is extremely wealthy, who can wear such clothes when traveling? Aren't they afraid of them slipping?
However, she waited for a long time but didn't hear Bu Wan speak. She was getting really impatient and had to ask for help: "The shopkeeper has been talking for a long time but hasn't gotten to the point. Please give me the price."
The woman glanced at the little girl, as if she had just seen her, and answered carefully: "A set of outer clothes, only eight hundred coins..."
Seeing Bu Wan's eyes widen slightly, she added, "And we have a backlog of goods right now. Buy a men's set and get a women's set free."
“…”
The embarrassment on Bu Wan's face disappeared instantly, and he became alert.
Eight hundred coins?
The coarse cloth dress she was wearing cost three or four hundred coins, not to mention the silk mixed with gold thread?
It’s almost the same as giving it for free!
You know, this is not the Jiangnan area where silk is produced in abundance, but a border area where supplies are scarce!
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
One sells at a low price, and the other dares not buy.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
It was Chen Chunxing who broke the deadlock. She happily took off a purse from her waist, threw it on the table, and pointed it around.
"That's great! You and Brother Yang, get two sets each. And this one, this one, this one... I want them all!"
The flesh on the woman's cheek twitched suspiciously, and she looked a little embarrassed: "This girl also wants to buy clothes?"
Chen Chunxing nodded and smiled: "I didn't have that idea originally, but who can blame you for the bargain? As the saying goes, if you don't take advantage of a bargain, you're a fool."
The woman hesitated and didn't move, and suddenly felt a pain in her flesh.
The cost of that dress alone was three taels of silver! Three taels per piece, and ten pieces would be thirty taels!
If the woman's face wasn't so familiar...why would she resort to such a desperate measure!
Chen Chunxing rolled his eyes and pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that only my sister can buy it and I can't?"
The vigilance in Bu Wan's eyes grew stronger.
"How could that be?" The woman pulled the corners of her mouth, her smile uglier than crying, "It's just that the girl wants a lot, and I'm afraid there's not the right size, so you have to wait a while."
"That's fine. Whatever size you have, I'll take it. I don't mind if the clothes are too big. I still have room to grow."
Chen Chunxing smiled a bit like a rogue, but at least he was not a rogue at all. After taking advantage, he made the decision for Bu Wan as if nothing had happened.
"As for Sister Wan and Brother Yang, there's even less to worry about. They'll have to stay at Tongyuan Hall for a while. Once the clothes are ready, you can just send them over."
The woman's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she was surprised to find that with just a few words from this little girl, she easily fulfilled her wish. Without thinking deeply, she quickly agreed: "I will follow your arrangements."
So the two of them exchanged money, signed a contract, and agreed to send the clothes that Chen Chunxing wanted to Tongyuantang the next day.
"By the way, how tall is Brother Yang?"
Bu Wan tried to refuse several times, but was blocked by Chen Chunxing, so she simply said, "I forgot."
"Oh, then let the shopkeeper measure it tomorrow."
Chen Chunxing didn't care. He bit the pen and recalled the size of his own carrot head.
She has such a large family, and it is a blessing, so naturally no one can be left behind.
"Is there really nothing else waiting for us?" Bu Wan was still in disbelief after leaving the shop. "Is this how business is done in Liuren City?"
Doctor Chu did not charge any consultation fees and even explained it by saying "a doctor's benevolence". The behavior of this clothing shop is really hard to understand.
"You never know what you're buying, but don't worry, Sister Wan. They're definitely not losing out."
But Bu Wan couldn't believe it.
After all, as someone who has lived in the south, even if I can't afford it, I still have a rough idea of the expected prices.
But since she had already bought it, and the money was borrowed from the Shen family sister, she had no choice but to silently warn herself - she must keep a close eye on this shop! She must not let the Shen family sister's money be defrauded!
A fool cannot make a living in Liuren City.
Scammers can thrive.
Bu Wan felt that she had discovered the truth. The girl from the Shen family was still too naive!
“…”
Xue Yongan touched his nose. Although he did not follow them in, just by looking at the expressions of the two people, he could roughly guess that something must have happened inside.
The little girl winked at him proudly, and the corners of her slightly raised mouth looked like a crescent moon hanging in the sky, which made him feel itchy.
What is his Su Su planning now?
Hearing that the two of them had really gone in to buy clothes, the medicine boy showed a little admiration, secretly grabbed Yang Yi's sleeve, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother, can you help me ask Sister Shen how much silver the bellyband costs?"
“…”
Yang pulled back his sleeve expressionlessly, pretending not to hear.
He's not stupid.
However, there were two people with pointed ears standing in front. Chen Chunxing had a playful look in his eyes, and Xue Yongan had a stern face.
The medicine boy's face flushed red, and he answered without being asked: "I, I, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious... I've never been to that kind of place... No, I don't even dare to pass by..."
Chen Chunxing laughed: "What kind of place?"
The medicine boy answered stupidly: "Yes, a brothel..."
Chen Chunxing laughed even louder, shook his head, and finally said something serious.
"They don't sell bellybands there. If you want one, ask Perrin to sew one for you."
Peilan is Doctor Chu's maid.
About the same age as the medicine boy.
The two of them lived with Chu Mei in Liuren City for many years.
After hearing this, the medicine boy couldn't even raise his head and walked forward with his hands and feet trembling.
Spring is here, and not only are animals starting to get restless, but young people are also feeling the spring.
As for those coquettish beauties, they are not necessarily prostitutes.
Teahouses and brothels have always been the easiest places to get information.
After buying what they needed, they continued walking forward.
Yang Yi and Xue Yongan had been paying attention to their surroundings, especially looking at the high places.
The orange cat, who was punished by Chen Chunxing to eat pumpkin for several days, seemed to be running around, but was actually playing with them. He appeared nearby several times, with his tail raised and looking arrogant, as if he was afraid that others would not see him.
Xue Yongan had thought about catching the cat directly, but after thinking about the journey he had taken, he gave up the idea.
Su Su never does useless work.
She chatted with the woman upstairs and went to the clothing store, both of her words revealing a deep meaning.
Today’s visit is no accident.
The behavior of cats is uncontrollable, but the trajectory and destiny of people are always changed and adjusted when necessary, even to the point of turning the world upside down.
for example.
When Xue Yongan found the cat squatting outside a pub, he saw a knife.
A sword that has never been unsheathed, but its sharpness is exposed.
