Chapter 28 Market Purchase
On a moonlit night with sparse stars, the breeze gently caresses the riverside.
The market is particularly lively in the evening. Since the New Year is just a few days away, there are not only many stalls and vendors on the streets, but the items they sell are also particularly prosperous and festive.
After Su Yuan and Nan Chu finished their dinner at the restaurant, Su Yuan took him for a stroll in the market.
Nan Chu looked around curiously, his eyes full of joy. He stopped at each stall for a long time, observing very carefully.
Su Yuan followed behind him, paying attention to his movements. Whenever he saw something he liked, he would silently pay the money to buy it.
Wait for Nan Chu to look back.
Good job.
Su Yuan's arms were filled with rouge, powder, sachets, bronze mirrors, and hairpins.
Nan Chu was moved and ran over to say distressedly:
"My dear wife, I don't like many of these things. It's useless to buy them. It's just a waste of money."
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows and said slowly:
"You don't like it, but I do. I see other husbands look good wearing it, and I want to see my husband wearing it, too. What's wrong with buying it for you?"
Su Yuan’s domineering speech left Nan Chu speechless.
There was a sparkle in his eyes, and he pouted his lips, unconsciously saying coquettishly:
"Thank you, my wife. I will wear it for you to see."
After saying that, he reached out to take the things in Su Yuan's arms:
"My wife, you can't carry all these things, I'll help you carry some."
Su Yuan glanced at the item in his hand and shook his head:
"No, it's just some scattered things. Just go buy a backpack. There will be more to buy later. Dad and the others also want new clothes and jewelry for the New Year."
Nan Chu heard that his wife had already made arrangements, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, good."
Luoshangfang.
As soon as Su Yuan and Nan Chu entered the door, a waiter came up to them and said with a smile:
"My two guests, please tell me what kind of clothes you want. Our Luoshangfang is the best shop in Qinghe. We have all kinds of styles."
Su Yuan pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying:
"Two sets of brocade robes for men, one set of brocade robes for women, five sets of fine cotton, one set for women and the rest for men, and two sets of coarse cloth."
"As for the color, bring out the sample and I'll choose one."
Su Yuan planned to buy a set of fine cotton clothes for each of the five people in the family, and then she, Nan Chu, and her father would each have a set of brocade robes, and the two servants would each have a set of coarse cloth clothes.
On average, five people each have two sets of winter clothes.
After hearing this, the shop assistant smiled happily and said:
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get it right away."
This is a big customer. He wants ten sets of clothes at once.
After a while, the waiter brought out the colorful strips of cloth nailed to the wooden board and held them in front of Su Yuan:
"Look, sir. All the colors and patterns of fabrics in our store are here. Tell me which one you like."
Su Yuan nodded, turned to Nan Chu and said:
"You are a man, and you know the preferences of other family members better. You can choose."
Nan Chu opened his eyes wide in surprise, then his eyes curved slightly into crescents, and he smiled and said:
"good."
He looked at the fabric and the pattern carefully and said:
"Two sets of apricot-red brocade robes for men, embroidered with lotus and plum blossom patterns respectively, and one set of crimson-red brocade robe for women. I also want cyan and light blue... Okay, that's all."
The shop assistant wrote them down one by one and agreed:
"Please tell me the size. If you don't know, I can measure it on the spot."
Nan Chu said no, and then told her the sizes of everyone in the family.
The shop assistant wrote it down with a brush and said with a smile:
"Okay, come back with the receipt in three days to pick up the clothes. Now you need to pay 30% of the list price, which is eight taels of silver."
Su Yuan took out some silver from his pocket and handed it over, looking around and said:
"Do you have any cloaks in Luoshangfang?"
The shop assistant's eyes lit up, and after collecting the money, he introduced Su Yuan attentively:
"Yes, of course. The more expensive ones include mink, tiger, and fox. The cheaper ones include pig, dog, and sheep. Which one do you want?"
Su Yuan thought for a moment and said:
"I want fox fur. How much is it?"
Hearing this, the shop assistant's smile deepened, and she said with a smile:
"A fox fur coat costs 23 taels of silver. Although it's expensive, it's durable and very warm, especially in winter. If you wear it, you won't feel cold even if you walk around outside for a few hours."
Nan Chu opened his eyes wide in shock after hearing this.
Oh my god, it's so expensive.
The price of a cloak was equivalent to the ten sets of clothes they just bought.
This cloak is too precious.
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the waiter, and said with a slightly curled lip:
"I want to buy three pieces. How much do you want? Including these three cloaks, we spent hundreds of taels of silver in your store in one day. You should give me a little discount, right?"
The shop assistant was shocked and stared with wide eyes. She couldn't believe that this ordinary-looking woman in front of her wanted to buy three fox fur coats at once. She asked tentatively:
"Sir, are you sure you want to buy three?"
Su Yuan smiled faintly and nodded: "Yes."
The shop assistant was delighted to receive the recognition.
She can get a share of the profits.
Luoshangfang sells ordinary clothes, and the waiters there have no money, but if they sell expensive clothes, they will get extra rewards.
That's why she was so excited when she heard Su Yuan say he wanted to buy a cloak.
The shop assistant's eyes sparkled and he said happily:
"How about this? You pay all the money for the three cloaks today. I'll give you the lowest price in the store, three taels less for each cloak. How about that, for three cloaks, a total of sixty taels?"
Su Yuan looked calm and said with a smile:
"Okay, thank you very much, Miss Second. Please take me to see what colors and styles the store has."
The shop assistant gestured for invitation and said with a smile:
"Okay, please follow me into the inner room to choose."
Su Yuan took Nan Chu into the inner room and chose a lavender cloak embroidered with irises for herself.
Nan Chu wore rouge powder and helped Su's father pick out a dark red peony cloak.
After finishing the job, Su Yuan paid the silver, took the three fox fur coats and the clothing receipt, and left Luoshangfang.
On the way.
Nan Chu was a little confused, turned to look at Su Yuan and asked:
"Wife, aren't we going home?"
I bought so many things today and spent a lot of money.
Do you want to continue shopping?
Su Yuan raised her lips slightly and reminded:
"Don't you have any jewelry left to buy?"
Nan Chu pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said:
"My dear wife, you have spent enough money on me today. Just buy the jewelry for Daddy. I don't need it."
After hearing this, Su Yuan paused for a moment, sighed and said:
"Consider it my New Year's gift to you and Dad. Don't worry, I won't give you too many. You can each pick one."
After listening to this, Nan Chu lowered his head slightly. After a moment, it was hard to tell what emotion he had. He said in a very low and soft voice:
"Thank you, my wife."
Su Yuan glanced at Nan Chu from the corner of his eye, understood what was going on, squeezed his palm, and said with a faint smile:
"You're welcome. We, Nanchu, deserve these things."
Next, Su Yuan took Nan Chu to the Treasure Pavilion and picked out a white jade peacock hairpin for him, and a gilded silver hairpin with a pattern of butterflies playing with double flowers for Su's father. He also bought two hairpins for himself for daily use, spending 65 taels of silver.
After buying their things, the two of them went back home.
