"Since Miss likes the horse-faced skirt, Pei will serve you. However, designing and making a piece of clothing requires tailoring. Miss, could you please let me take your measurements?"
The lady in the car seemed to hesitate for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "Sir, you are right, but today is not a convenient occasion. Why don't you wait outside the car for a while? I will let the maid tell you the size."
Pei Yun naturally had no objection. The maid Qinghe got on the ox cart and soon handed over a note and fifty taels of silver.
"This is my lady's size and fifty taels. Take it."
Pei Yun didn't expect this young lady to be so generous and pay the full amount directly. He thought she would give a deposit first, so he smiled and said, "I'll deliver it to your house after it's done."
The young lady's voice came, "Don't bother me, sir. Where do you live? I'll have someone pick it up."
"That's fine. I'll be staying at Yuelai Inn for now. Miss Youshi can send someone to pick me up today."
“So soon?”
The young lady was a little surprised. It was already noon and less than three hours away from the hour of You. How could such a complicated horse-faced skirt be made in such a short time?
Pei Yun smiled and said, "Nothing special, I'm just an expert. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Miss, do you really believe that he can make it in such a short time? You shouldn't have given him all the money. What if he can't make it and runs away?"
Qinghe complained a little.
The woman in the car smiled slightly, her eyes were like bright stars, and suddenly the whole car was bright. She had a slender figure like a crescent moon, and her skin was as white as jade with a faint luster.
She has a straight nose, cherry-colored lips, and long hair like a waterfall, which is gently tied up, with a few strands of hair hanging casually, adding a bit of softness and agility.
She was wearing a lavender long skirt with delicate plum blossom patterns embroidered on the hem and a corset with silver embroidered belt around her waist, which outlined her slender waist. Her manner was dignified, yet with a hint of cold and aloof temperament.
It was the prince’s daughter—Xiao Zhiruo.
She was not a legitimate daughter, but a concubine's daughter. However, Xiao Cheng had only her as a daughter. In addition, she was talented, beautiful and intelligent, so she was deeply loved by Xiao Cheng.
There are many young men in Shu who pursue her. On the one hand, she is beautiful, and on the other hand, it is because of her status. Even though she is just a concubine, she is the daughter of a prince after all.
As long as you can marry her home, you will become a relative of the prince.
However, Xiao Zhiruo had very high standards, and no one had caught her eye so far. But when she saw the horse-faced skirt on Leng Qingqiu today, she immediately fell in love with it.
At the same time, she also had an idea. Since she couldn't interfere with the business of the palace, she opened a clothing store herself. However, the business was not very good. She had been looking for an opportunity to break through, and the horse-faced skirt gave her an opportunity.
Therefore, Pei Yun offered 50 taels. She did not hesitate, just wanting to see Pei Yun's craftsmanship. At this moment, she heard Qing He's words and said with a smile: "The young man doesn't look treacherous, and Miss Leng has an extraordinary temperament. To be followed by such a person, he must be extraordinary."
Qinghe curled her lips. She couldn't guess what the young lady was thinking. Although fifty taels was nothing to the young lady, she would still feel bad if she was really cheated.
After thinking about it, Qinghe asked the two guards following the ox cart to go to Yuelai Inn and keep an eye on him to prevent him from running away.
Pei Yun turned around and tossed the silver ingot in his hand. "I'm lucky today. I made some money right after I came out. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Xu Zong and Leng Qingqiu had little interest. After eating Pei Yun's food, they no longer looked down on other food. Pei Yun, on the other hand, was more interested in street snacks. He bought candied haws, tofu pudding, sesame cakes and the like. He felt that this pure green food without additives was very fragrant.
After strolling around for most of the day, the three returned to the inn.
Pei Yun bought a set of horse-faced skirt according to Xiao Zhiruo's size and gave it to Leng Qingqiu. "If that lady sends someone to pick up the clothes, you can give it to her. I'll take a rest for a while."
…
At the hour of You, Qinghe came to get clothes.
Leng Qingqiu handed the horse-faced skirt to Qinghe. Qinghe was surprised to see that a set was made in such a short time. She sighed that the lady was really good at judging people. No wonder she dared to pay the full amount. She guessed that the other party could definitely make it.
Taking the horse-faced skirt back to the ox cart, Xiao Zhiruo's eyes flashed with joy. She looked at it carefully and found that the horse-faced skirt had fine stitching and exquisite workmanship, without any sense of roughness.
The other party is indeed trustworthy, so we can have further contact and discuss cooperation.
But there is no rush today, let’s go back and see how this horse-faced skirt looks when worn.
The next morning.
Pei Yun took Leng Qingqiu and Xu Zong to the palace to attend a celebration banquet. Leng Qingqiu was reluctant to go, but she couldn't resist Pei Yun, so she had to follow.
She had no interest in these lively occasions and always felt that those big shots were too hypocritical.
Xu Zong was very excited. "Your Highness, I have always heard from the people how great Your Highness is. Now I can finally see him with my own eyes."
Pei Yun was also a little excited, as this was the first big shot he met after traveling through time.
The Bashu Palace is located in the center of Shudu City, with high walls and deep courtyards, and is magnificent.
The vermilion gate is inlaid with copper nails, and two stone lions stand majestically in front of the gate, looking solemn and dignified.
There were no guards in front of the door. It was said that the prince didn't like those unnecessary things.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, a man who looked like a butler came to greet them. Pei Yun took out the Qianhu token, and the butler smiled and said, "It turns out to be Pei Qianhu. Please come in."
Pei Yun nodded politely and followed the butler into the room. Soon they arrived at the hall.
There were already quite a few people sitting inside. Naturally, the person sitting at the main seat was Xiao Cheng, the King of Bashu. From Xiao Cheng on down, sitting on the left were the chief secretary, Sima, Canjun and other officials, who were mainly responsible for military-related affairs.
