Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 791: Sending a Chance Friend

"The tea that the girl likes is not available here at the moment, so I brewed some tea that the young master kept here, and added a refreshing snack, so I wasted some time." After that, he put down the tea in his hand and then The waiter bent down and asked, "I don't know why the girl came here this time?"

The waiter, who was watching the show with his sleeves rolled up, was dumbfounded.

"I want two pieces of material." Ji Wuyan pushed the dim sum in front of Shen Luoxin, then turned to look at the shopkeeper and explained the purpose of his visit, "Do you still have this Yun Jinsi? I want two pieces, one wrapped. Put it on the carriage for me later, and I will take it away directly, and there is also one for Miss Shen. There is a nanny in the shop who is very skilled in craftsmanship, and can help me measure her body and make some clothes."

The waiter gasped suddenly - two pieces of cloud brocade silk!

Ji Wuyan didn't seem to notice it. He raised his eyes and smiled and asked the shopkeeper who was also a little surprised, "Is there some?"

"Yes." Although the shopkeeper was surprised and confused, he still reported truthfully, "We are the only shop in Yanjing City that sells cloud brocade silk. Although the inventory is not large, we can still get it within five pieces, mama. Grandma is also an experienced craftsman, she was hired by the young master from the south of the Yangtze River, and the nobles in the palace have been full of praises over the years." Although he said that "the inventory is not much", he was quite proud in his words.

Ji Wuyan nodded, "That's good. Then please ask the shopkeeper to take Miss Shen over to have the clothes tailor-made. The clothes are not urgent, but it won't matter if you make them more carefully and slower."

"Yes..." the shopkeeper nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "I have sold a lot of Yunjin silk in recent years, but most of them were used to make clothes waiting for the big day, and some even just to own one. It’s just Yun Jinsi, Mammy has been saying, since she came to Yanjing City, she has not been given a chance to perform well. Now that she has finally been looking forward to such an opportunity, she will definitely show off her talents. Miss Shen, please come with me. …”

Shen Luoxin looked a little confused. Hearing the words, he raised his head and glanced at Ji Wuyan. After seeing Ji Wuyan nodded to him, Shen Luoxin stood up in a daze and followed suit. Following the shopkeeper towards the backyard, it was obvious that his mind was not here.

The waiter on the side quietly covered his mouth and nose and stepped back.

Ji Wuyan withdrew his gaze, holding the tea cup and sipping the tea lazily and leisurely.

When the waiter saw this, he hesitated for a long time and finally came over and asked tentatively, "This, this girl, is from the boss's family?"

Ji Wuyan lazily raised his eyelids, raised his lips and smiled softly, asking, "Do you think I look like me?" As he chuckled, his lips were red and his teeth were white, which was really good-looking.

But, she asked if it looked like it? The waiter was stunned for a moment, and looked at the other person from head to toe again. He still felt that... he looked really different based on his dress. I heard that my boss is as rich as the country, but this girl's whole body is not worth a few dollars... But the way she lazily sits there and raises her eyes to look at you, she has a bit of the majesty of a superior, compared to The shopkeeper was even more nervous when he stared at them.

The waiter shook his head, nodded again, and continued to probe persistently, "I heard the shopkeeper calling himself 'subordinate' in front of the girl. It sounds like you are quite familiar with the boss. Are you..." What's the relationship?
But the words behind her were not spoken. The girl's smile was raised at the corner of her mouth, and somehow it suddenly felt a little oozing. Her pupils were as thick and black as splashing ink, and the contrast between the extremely black and extremely white areas seemed to be all her thoughts. It was like there was nothing to hide from before her. The waiter swallowed subconsciously.

The shopkeeper asked from behind, "What are you doing here?" The shopkeeper with a straight face crossed his arms and leaned on the door frame between the backyard and the lobby. He listened to the entire conversation between the two and watched. Xiang Xiaoer's gaze became much sharper. The waiter explained with a smile, saying that he was afraid of being rude when he saw that the girl was not being greeted, so he boldly stepped forward.

"Is that so..." the shopkeeper nodded, put down the arms he was holding, and walked closer before asking, "Then where did you hide when I was greeting other guests? Didn't you greet the girl when she came in? Now you know it's rude. Already?"

The waiter's face changed slightly, and when he was about to explain, Ji Wuyan said with a smile, "It's okay, I told him that I wanted to go shopping by myself, so he went to wait. Where did the lady just come to see me? Made of material?"

The shopkeeper waved his hand and asked the waiter to go down. Then he bent down slightly and replied, "That is the wife of General Zhongwu's family, and she can be considered a regular customer of ours. It's just that the old lady is still in charge of General Zhongwu's house now, so This old lady is famously thrifty, but General Zhongwu’s wife always hesitates for a long time when she comes to buy materials. It’s not that she doesn’t have any money on hand, but mainly because she’s worried about being scolded by her mother-in-law when she buys it back. Today, this lady fell in love with our family. I bought a piece of wool to make a small coat for her mother-in-law, and I can use the extra to make a hand warmer cover for myself... But I am still worried about my mother-in-law's concern for the money."

Ji Wuyan put down the teacup, raised his eyebrows and smiled softly. He originally thought he was competitive and arrogant, but he didn't expect that after getting along with him for a short time, he seemed to be soft-hearted and filial. Then he asked the shopkeeper, "Is this wool expensive?"

The shopkeeper poured tea for Ji Wuyan, put the teapot on the table, bowed his head, stood aside, and replied, "It's not expensive for a girl, but it's not a casual thing for General Zhongwu's mansion." , the old man knows the goods after all, but now this lady doesn’t know how to explain to her that this is just a very ordinary piece of material."

Ji Wuyan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then ordered, "In this case, you pack up the materials that the lady likes, send someone to deliver them to her house, and hand them over to her in front of the old lady, and say I It’s a gift. If you ask the reason, just ask... It’s a gift to a friend who met by chance."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Ji Wuyan raised his eyebrows and asked silently.

The shopkeeper smiled like Maitreya Buddha, "Every time the young master comes to my subordinates, he will mention the girl, saying that she has a completely different temperament from him, sincere, kind, and has a particularly clean soul that is not stained by fine dust. I am originally I had some doubts, but now I know that what the young master said is true."

Are you... so good? Ji Wuyan touched his nose, feeling guilty after being praised, and even a little bit disgusted with his brother who was talking nonsense, so he sneered, "He's not ashamed to say this?"

The shopkeeper also laughed, "I'm probably not ashamed. I asked several other shopkeepers, and they said they had heard these words, and more than once, it made my ears tingle. Come to think of it, in the young master's heart, the girl is like this There is something good like nothing in heaven or earth."

Is it better to have something in heaven and nothing on earth? Ji Wuyan shook his head helplessly. He seemed to be someone who knew how to praise others. Why couldn't Luo Xin use praise? Do you have to use provocation?
