Chapter 300 The Crazy People
The prosperity and spirit of Suzhou City are quite different.

The prosperity of Shendu can be seen, but the prosperity of Suzhou City cannot be seen.

Because you don't even know if the old man in front of you walking around with his hands behind his back is worth hundreds of thousands, owns hundreds of mansions, and thousands of acres of fertile land.I don't know if there is a son who owns 72 restaurants behind the aunt who is bargaining with small vendors.

Everyone in Suzhou City hides their secrets.

Zheng Nian was walking on the street with Zheng Xiaodie on his back. Xiaodie was holding a candied haws in her left hand and a green onion pancake in her right.

The two had already invested in the inn, and they were about to go to the street to buy something. After all, these two people entered the Jiangnan boundary from the Baihua Valley, which was not far away, and they didn't even bring a bag. Now they have to buy some things for daily wear. .

There are countless places to sell these things in Suzhou, and there are silk and satin shops and tailor shops everywhere. When the two came out of the inn, Zheng Nian had already passed seven or eight silk and satin shops after buying some small toys.

After inquiring, I learned that the best silk and satin shop here is called Jinxuanlou. After finding out the address, the father and daughter walked into the Jinxuanlou.

Jinxuan Building is located on the busiest street in Suzhou, and there was already a long queue at the entrance. Zheng Nian ignored that line, but walked straight to the gate of Jinxuan Building.

"Hey? Dad, what do you think those people are queuing up for? Why are there no one entering the left side of these two gates, but the right side is full of people?" Zheng Xiaodie tilted her head, "Could it be some unwritten rule? ?”

"You don't know, little girl." The scholar who was queuing at the side heard Zheng Xiaodie's question, and responded, "See, you are also outsiders. When the fabrics come to Jinxuan Building, they are first come, first served. On such days, Miss Yao’er’s rules are very clear. If you want to buy her fabrics, you have to queue up and come one by one. If you don’t buy them, you can buy them from the Step aside."

The scholar glanced at the queue half a street behind him, "You don't have to think about it, just go in and buy some other fabrics."

"Is Miss Yao'er a tailor?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Hey, you don't even know Miss Yao'er in Jiangnan?" One person was surprised.

Then came the roar of laughter.

The scholar smiled and said, "Little brother, the five most famous things in Jiangnan are clothes, swords, umbrellas, millet, and stones. Among them, clothes and swords are the most famous. It can be said that if the clothes and swords in the world are stained with Jiangnan Two words, even ordinary ones are much more expensive than those in other places, and the price is even higher. And the most famous one in Yili is this Jinxuanlou, and the most famous tailor in Jinxuanlou is Yaoer Girl, do you know the 37 best in the world?"

"Know a thing or two," Zheng Nian said.

"The embroidered armor is Lin Yao." The scholar said.

"I see." Zheng Nian nodded, "Thank you."

Then he strode into Jinxuan Building.

Jinxuan Building has four floors, still in classical architectural style, with a hollow outer staircase, and you can see Nuo Da’s cloth market from the entrance, and the clothing materials are all marked. There are many Ready-to-wear, sizes vary.

"Father, can these ready-made clothes be sold? Everyone's size is different. Wouldn't it be a loss to make clothes like this?" Zheng Xiaodie asked as she took a bite of the scallion pancake.

"If it's a small shop, it will definitely lose money, but not here." Zheng Nian observed the fabrics on the first floor, and it was indeed quite different from the ordinary texture. "There are countless people who come here every day, and they will definitely find them A dress that almost fits, and the average lady in the mansion will not demand that it must fit, as long as the dress hangs in Jinxuan Building for a long enough time, they will wear it no matter whether it fits or not."

"I don't understand." Zheng Xiaodie said.

"You're still young." Zheng Nian smiled.

There is also a long dragon in the hall, which leads directly to the second floor.It seems that Miss Yao'er is on the second floor.

"My lord, what material do you want to buy?" A servant walked up to Zheng Nian, sized it up first, and then said with a smile, "Yuanyangqi and Sansuoluo are only available on the third floor, and Cui Mao brocade is currently scarce, not enough to make one." It’s a ready-made garment, but it should be enough for Qianjin to make it.”

The servants opened their mouths to see the most expensive brocade in Daqing, which made Zheng Nian a little at a loss. Although he lived in the capital before, he had never settled for clothes and fabrics, and he didn't know how much they were worth. It's only a hundred taels, thinking that a piece of clothing in this place is worth a luxury house, if you directly ask how much money it is, it will probably be cancelled, so I thought about it.

"Bring tea to the young master." Seeing that Zheng Nian needed to think, the servant responded.

So two little maids came out from the back, brought tea to Zheng Nian, and invited Zheng Nian to sit on the chair resting beside the hall.

There was another table next to it, a man and a woman. The two of them had long been unhappy with Zheng Nian.

One is that although Zheng Nian's clothes are well-made, they have been sleeping in the open because of wind, food and clothing. In addition, Zheng Nian doesn't care about trifles, he leans wherever he walks, wine will be spilled on his body, and there is a circle of marks left by the mud on his buttocks. Already looked a little dirty.

"Hmph, it's really a prosperous age of celebration, and beggars have also entered this Jinxuan Building." The young master patted the fan sprinkled with gold noodles, shaking his head helplessly.

The woman even turned her head away, "Don't mention it, beggars of all ages still have the sour smell of wine and meat on their bodies, not to mention the scallion pancake, the smell is even more unbearable."

Zheng Xiaodie tilted her head to look at her father, and whispered, "Are they talking about us?"

"It seems to be." Zheng Nian took out the flagon and took a sip slowly.

Zheng Xiaodie touched Fomalhaut with a sad face, "Hey, did you hear that? They said that you and Dad are beggars."

Fomalhaut was stunned.

At this moment, a maid walked past Zheng Nian carrying a brocade, and stood in front of a man and a woman, "Master Xue, these are your clothes, please have a look."

The man gave Zheng Nian a disdainful look, "Hey, the craftsmanship of this Shu embroidery is indeed second only to Su embroidery, it's top-notch."

As he spoke, he shook off the ready-made clothes.

"Wow!" Zheng Xiaodie was surprised.

Sure enough, women have no resistance to beautiful clothes, and it has nothing to do with age.

The ready-to-wear was sprinkled with gold and pure face, and the sleeves were open, but the pink undertones could see the fading color of green flickering under the luster, and the legendary neon clothes and feather clothes were nothing more than this.

"Oh, this dress is so-so. Compared with the Qiluoyu Sequoia that Lin Yao personally made at my family's birthday banquet, it is a heaven and earth." The woman said disdainfully, "Just wear it. .”

"I have recorded the money in the account, just come and give it when you are free." The maid bowed her head.

"Okay, I'll make a few cups of tea." Mr. Xue said.

"Yes." The maid slowly withdrew and walked towards Zheng Nian, "My lord, have you considered it?"

"I feel quite comfortable with this material, why don't you help me find it?" Zheng Nian stretched out his arm.

"My lord, I'm sorry." The little maid said with a smile, and then walked behind Zheng Nian, and put her hand into the back from the split part of the back.

Ordinary clothes are covered with a layer of gauze, one is to protect the clothes from being easily damaged by the wind and the sun, and the other is to make the fabric look new at any time, and it will not accumulate dust on it, so expensive clothes cannot be washed at all , can only change the yarn, of course, this is the enjoyment of rich families, after all, the price of changing the yarn once is enough to buy a large number of linen clothes.

"It's just coarse hemp." Mr. Xue said with a smile.

"Hey! How can you say that about someone?" The woman said softly, "After all, I brought my baby to beg, so I don't have any clothes to wear in this city of Suzhou? Maybe I passed by a rich family and found two good clothes. Beggars don't know how to organize, thinking that this kind of clothes can be worn by people."

The little maid touched it for a long time, her face was startled, and then she stepped back, "Master, this fabric... I don't seem to have seen it before, just wait a moment."

"Okay." Zheng Nian was not in a hurry.

"Pfft..." Mr. Xue and the woman behind him both smiled, "Little girl, don't look for it, maybe it's some kind of weak silk, which has been exposed to the sun and can't be touched."

The little maid just smiled, hurried past, and went straight to the inner hall.

After a long while, an old man wearing a hat and a purple-red long coat walked out slowly, took a look at the situation in front of him, and went straight to Mr. Xue, "Who am I? It turns out to be Mr. Xue, your clothes Don’t they all come from the hands of the old man? How can there be unfamiliar satin?”

"Old shopkeeper." Mr. Xue saluted immediately, "Where is it? I am all made by famous masters. I am naturally famous and elegant. It's just that some people wear I don't know what kind of mixed and defective products. If you want to make a big fuss in this Jinxuan Tower, and even bother the shopkeeper to do it yourself, you really don't know how to be elegant."

"You're never finished!" Zheng Xiaodie jumped directly on the table, pointing at Mr. Xue.

It's a pity that Xiaodie is still too small, even when jumping on the table, she is much shorter than Mr. Xue. With one hand on her hip, she pointed at Mr. Xue, "I have endured you for a long time!"

"Hey, does this little beggar still want to beat people? Where do you think this is? The head of your beggar gang? This is Jinxuanlou, not a place for you to run wild!" the woman said angrily.

Zheng Nian touched Zheng Xiaodie's head, carried her off the table, and said with a smile, "Be safe and don't be impatient."

"Hmph." Zheng Xiaodie turned her head, her round face pouts, her cheeks puff up.

Fomalhaut lay on Zheng Xiaodie's shoulder, and also looked at where Zheng Xiaodie was looking.

"I just want to make another set of clothes with such a brocade." Zheng Nian said, "I just don't know what happened, but it's still comfortable to wear. Please help the old shopkeeper to take a look."

"Oh?" The old shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he taught his maid, "How can you not even touch such an ordinary brocade in this Jinxuan Tower? I can see it just by looking at it." It can be concluded that this is the most common loose yellow satin, it looks like there is yellow in the white...Huh? Where is the yellow?"

"That's right, master, when I pulled the clothes, I didn't see the loose yellow inside." The maid lowered her head and said aggrievedly.

"Then you'll know if you wipe it on your back. If it's not loose yellow satin, then it's loose white satin that is lower than loose yellow satin." The old shopkeeper cupped his hands and stretched out to Zheng Nian's back.

"Who would add yarn to the loose white satin..." the maid asked puzzled.

"Little girl, you don't know this. Now some people can't buy expensive and expensive things. Naturally, they are full of monsters and processed separately." The woman looked like she was joking.

"It is also possible to add yarn to loose white satin. Some down-and-out nobles can't bear to be seen by others, so they will add yarn to the outside of loose white satin, making others think it is loose yellow satin. After all..." The old shopkeeper touched it. "Huh? The loose white satin has a hemp texture, why doesn't this dress have it?"

"Master...Of course I came to you because I didn't have any...and I also feel that this material is inherently chilly. It feels extremely cold outside, but it's as warm as jade inside, and its face is like rough brocade. It feels like soft water... That's why I'm not sure, I'm here to ask you." The maid bowed her head and said timidly.

"This..." The old shopkeeper scratched his head, "Wait a minute, it shouldn't be, this is ordinary satin...how can there be such a big difference?"

Watching the old shopkeeper go upstairs, Xue Gongzi asked, "Could it be that the wine was spilled on it and soaked it like this? Where is the old shopkeeper going?"

"I'll ask Yao'er." The old shopkeeper wondered as he walked, "What the hell is it? It feels so ordinary...why does it feel so good when you touch it?"

"Hmph, I think it's just feces, urine, fart mixed with wine, often not washed, wrapped in pulp!" Mr. Xue said angrily.

The woman also looked displeased.

Zheng Xiaodie let out a long breath, and looked at the two men viciously, "What does it have to do with you two?"

"Little beggar." The woman turned her head away and looked at Mr. Xue, "I'm going to see if it's covered in some disgusting clothes."

Zheng Nian sat on the chair helplessly.

'There is no mobile phone to play these days, people are crazy. '
