Chapter 73 Grandma, I want to be Princess Bei Di
After chatting with Mengren for a stick of incense, Jiang Qingyu turned back to the palace and went to the Qianjian Lake to absorb the sword energy and practice the "Yu Clan's Sword Classic".

at the same time.

The girl Xiaoman appeared in a clothing store called "Zouji Tailor Shop" in the south of Wangcheng.

The proprietress of "Zou Ji Tailor Shop" is an old woman who is nearly [-] years old, surnamed Zou. It is said that she lived in the palace when she was young and made dragon robes for two generations of Chu emperors.

Later, he left the palace for some reason, and after going around many times, he came to Wangcheng and opened a clothing store.

"Zouji Tailor Shop" has a wide range of businesses. In addition to customizing clothes for the rich and powerful wives living in the royal city, they also make shrouds for the elderly who have someone in the army at a low price or even free of charge.

But most of the rich and powerful wives disliked that it was unlucky to have custom-made clothes and shrouds in a store. Even if they paid a deposit, they would not send someone to pick up the clothes, so the store was filled with all kinds of luxurious clothes.

Someone persuaded Granny Zou to stop doing the money-losing shroud business and concentrate on customizing clothes for the rich and powerful wives, so that within a year, she would earn enough money to build a golden coffin for herself.

At that time, a gold coffin board can be exchanged for tens of thousands of shrouds, isn't it more cost-effective than her own sewing one by one?
But Granny Zou didn't listen.

She said that she didn't want a golden coffin, because she was afraid of being robbed of the tomb, and would not have peace after death. As for the shroud business, she would not give up until she died!
Not only that, but if an old man in Wangcheng passed away suddenly, and there were no relatives to take care of her at home, she would even hold a funeral for him at her own expense.

So some people guessed that when Grandma Zou was living in the palace, her parents passed away unfortunately, and there was no one to take care of her. She didn't even have a proper shroud when she was buried.

But there are also rumors made by jealous people, saying that Granny Zou committed too many sins in her previous life, and she was afraid of going to hell and being tortured after death, so she thought of doing good deeds when she was about to close her eyes.

……

Zouji Tailor Shop.

It was now midnight.

But what is strange is that the tailor shop is not closed, the door is still ajar, and a candle is lit inside the house.

Xiaoman pushed open the door and walked in.

Facing the door are rows of exquisite and luxurious clothing, each of which is worth at least a dozen taels of gold.

On the left side, there are rows of shrouds of different colors and sizes.

Each shroud contained a slip of paper with the buyer's name, age, identity, where he lived, and the number of people in the family...

Only there is no price tag.

And in an inconspicuous corner on the left side of the room, an old woman with a kind face is sewing a new dress.

The old woman was stooped, with gray hair, sitting on an old wicker chair. Although her eyes were cloudy and the candle was dim, she could thread a needle without any difficulty.

Seeing this scene, girl Xiaoman couldn't help muttering in her heart:
Who would have thought that such an old woman who had devoted most of her life to the tailor shop would be the landlord of the top three killer organization Huamanlou in the world?

Moreover, the seniority is frighteningly high, and even his own master has to be honored as uncle when he sees him!
"Grandma!"

The little girl looked cautious, like a granddaughter who had done something bad, walked behind the old man with a smile, and began to beat his shoulders.

At the same time, she glanced at the dress that the old woman was sewing.

Although the clothes were only in its infancy, it was not difficult to see from the exposed python patterns that it was a python robe that only princes were qualified to wear.

"Grandma, you are making clothes for the prince again!"

"Isn't this going to cost a lot of money?"

Granny Zou had a slight smile on her face, and her needlework did not stop at all while chatting:

"Little girl, you always come to the door for nothing, so tell me, what do you want me to do this time?"

Xiaoman increased the intensity of her shoulder pinching, and said coquettishly:

"Grandma, I want to make a dress."

Granny Zou joked with a smile:

"Little girl, it's unlucky to make a shroud at your age!"

Xiaoman looked aggrieved:
"No, grandma, I want to make an alien costume."

"A dress that only Princess Beidi is qualified to wear!"

As soon as this remark came out, Granny Zou's smile faltered and she stopped her sewing.

She is good at making clothes, let alone the clothes of Princess Beidi, even the dragon robes of successive emperors and the phoenix robes of queens, she can perfectly copy them.

But with the little girl's temperament of playing games in the world, the request she made is not just as simple as wearing clothes!
She probably really wants to be the princess of Beidi once!
"Bullshit!"

Granny Zou scolded:

"Do you think that Huamanlou is opened by your family? I have to help you realize any wish?"

"Last year, you wanted to be the most talented woman in the capital. We kidnapped 24 lecturers and students from Jixia Academy and locked them in a brothel to write poems and essays all day long!"

"at last……"

"Someone hid a distress letter in a poem, and the murdered Jixia Academy rushed out in a rage, almost completely erasing our stronghold from the capital!"

"Do you know how much our loss was that time?"

However, the little girl muttered confidently:

"Who told you to lock people up in brothels and not let them touch women?"

"I've said it earlier, if you put them in the gentle village to boost their talents, maybe they will be reluctant to leave!"

Granny Zou snorted coldly:

"The rules of the Jixia Academy are strict, and people in the Academy are not allowed to enter dirty places like brothels."

"If the group of students and lecturers who read sage books all day are forced by us to sleep with women and break their hearts, that old guy Xun Yong will have to open the door of Huamanlou!"

Xun Yong is the sacrificing wine of Jixia Academy, and his awe-inspiring righteousness, which has been practiced for more than 150 years, is comparable to the legend of the fourth-rank congenital star-picking realm.

The old man has written three books in his life, and after reading each book, someone has an epiphany. They are all sage books, so they are also called semi-saints.

Xiaoman said unconvinced:

"That's not because you stole the wrong question!"

"Last year, Mr. Xun came up with three difficult questions. He said that those who answered all three questions could be admitted to his sect. I wanted to take this opportunity to become famous all over the world, so I pretended to be a student and entered the capital. But, but... ..."

"It wasn't until the day of the exam that I realized that what I had memorized by rote for a month was useless at all, and the questions the old man asked were completely different from what you said in advance!"

"That's why I had no choice but to kidnap the students and lecturers of Jixia Academy to compose poems and essays for myself and make my name in the capital."

"Otherwise, I would have been the first female disciple under Mr. Xun's sect, not to mention the number one talented woman in the capital, and no one would dare to compete with me for the title of the best talented woman in the world!"

Granny Zou couldn't help breaking the stage and said:
"Little girl, I admit that you have read a lot of books, but you have nothing to do with the word "talented girl" at all!"

While beating the old man's back and shoulders, Xiaoman coquettishly said:

"Grandma, I don't care, this time I will be the princess of the Di clan!"

"I failed to be a talented girl last time, this time you have to promise not to fail!"

Granny Zou saw through the girl's mind at a glance:
"Is it for your son?"

Xiaoman remained silent, acquiescing to this point.

Since the young master didn't take her to Beidi, she went by herself.

And go quietly, do a few earth-shattering things, and wait until the next meeting to give the young master a big surprise!

Seeing the silly girl Huaichun, Granny Zou seemed to think of the absurd years of her youth.

If I was half as stupid as a little girl at that time, I wouldn't be reduced to the sad end of sewing shrouds all day to remember the old people.

So she said helplessly:

"Forget it, I will allow you to mess around again."

"Who told..."

"Huamanlou was originally opened by your family."
