Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 167 It's really bad luck to serve the little brother
The weather is getting colder.

Because Mrs. Li hated Xiao Tingchen and deliberately withheld the Mingde Yuan's share, even Su Jiu, who was troubled, was unable to receive this year's winter clothes.

The lady in charge of the purchase only said that all the clothes had been taken away, and that she would not be able to buy them again until next month.

Su Jiu is not stupid either, he naturally knows that the so-called being stripped is just an excuse, and when she comes to pick up the clothes next month, this woman will definitely shirk next month.

The little girl went back to Mingde Courtyard sullenly, and walked through the corridors and courtyards all the way, and saw the maids all around were wearing thin coats, looking very warm.

She returned to the dormitory, rubbed her hands, and glanced at the Arhat bed by the window, where her ineffective Uncle Xiao was sitting cross-legged on it, leisurely flipping through miscellaneous books.

Fortunately, he got a few sable fur cloaks from somewhere, and a few crane cloaks with exquisite weaving feathers, and wrapped them around his body, which kept him warm and looked good.

The little girl sighed, turned back to her couch, took the purse from under the pillow, and counted the silver taels inside.

In the past few days, she got some more silver from selling incense, and now she has a total of 25 taels of silver on hand.

It seems that although there are many, some of them have to be allocated to buy fragrant medicines.

As the end of the year approached, she had to ask someone to bring some silver taels to her uncle.

In fact, it is very expensive.

The little girl lay on the side of the couch and thought for a long time before she gritted her teeth and set aside half a tael of silver, intending to buy herself two thin coats for the winter.

Her maidservant can be regarded as very worthless, not only can't get the monthly money, but also has to pay for clothes by herself.

It's really bad luck to serve the little brother.

Thinking about this, he turned around and said, "Little brother, I'm going out of the house to buy a jacket."

The boy by the window closed the book with a "snap", "Just in time, I'm almost finished reading the book, and I have to go to the street to buy a few more."

Su Jiu's eyes were full of contempt, "Little brother bought some messy books... In a few months, you are due to go to Beijing to catch the exam. I'll see what rank you get in the exam when you come back!"

"Oh, human relationships and sophistication are all articles. Even if the gods on the bed are fighting, you can also read a lot of interesting things. They are all books on reasoning, so why are they so messed up?"

The master and the servant left Xiao's mansion through the back door and walked all the way to Sanfu Street.

Sanfu Street is located on the banks of the Qinhuai River. It is very bustling and bustling. There are row upon row of shops inside, as if you can buy everything.

The two entered a clothing store, Su Jiu looked at the room full of new clothes and accessories, Xiaolu's eyes were full of envy.

The snow-white rabbit fur scarf, embroidered satin boots, soft jacket and skirt, colorful woven flower jacket, all kinds of styles are so beautiful that she is dazzled.

She took a fancy to a set of sky-blue jacket and skirt, which was small and exquisite, with a circle of white and soft fur on the collar, and osmanthus flowers and moon rabbits were embroidered on the chest.

It's three chubby moon rabbits, making medicine under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

The hem of the skirt is frosty white, and a circle of koi fish is embroidered on the skirt, which looks very cute.

The little girl stretched out her hand and touched the jacket and skirt carefully.

The jacket skirt is very thick, so it must be warm to wear.

The shopkeeper leaned over and said with a smile: "Young lady has a good eye. This is a new style from the store this year. Isn't it good-looking? It's not expensive, only five taels of silver!"

"Five taels of silver?!"

Su Jiu was startled and quickly withdrew his hand in fright.

"Look, this embroidery is exquisite, right? This fabric is even more precious, and it sells for five taels of silver. My small shop is selling at a loss, and I can't make any money!"

"I... I'll take another look."

Su Jiu chattered.

Seeing that Su Jiu had run into a wall, the shopkeeper smiled and turned to Xiao Tingchen again, "Look, my lord, does this jacket and skirt suit this girl well? She must look good in it!"

Saying so, the eyes are bright.

He has been in business for so many years, and he can tell at a glance that this young man is of extraordinary appearance, and the price of the weaving crane cloak he is wearing is even more expensive than several hundred taels.

For such a wealthy nobleman, what is it worth spending five taels of silver?
However, to his surprise, Xiao Tingchen lazily said:
"My maidservant's fortune is shallow, so I can't wear good clothes. You don't care about the style, you can just bring some warm clothes, as long as it can keep out the cold, my maidservant is very satisfied. What's more, what's the use of children's clothes that are so easy to wear?" , I won’t be able to grow taller next year? Wouldn’t the five taels of silver be wasted by then..."
