Yutai Bi

Chapter 125
Du Yansui smiled and said, "I can accompany you for a whole day today. If we are tired, let's go to the restaurant for dinner."

He pointed to a shop in front and said, "That's the biggest ready-to-wear shop in Chang'an City, the prince has a part in it, do you remember?"

Cen Sanniang looked over according to her words, and there were three large characters gilded on the plaque: "Brocade Pavilion."

She just remembered.After King Teng left Longzhou, a new brocade pavilion was opened in the city, and the clothes were sent to the mansion.The mother Xu who told her in a low voice let her choose the clothes she wanted.I don't know if the girl Xiaoqing who has the ability of photographic memory is now with King Teng, or sent to the Brocade Pavilion in the capital.

The past, suddenly like a dream.

Cen Sanniang suddenly remembered that there was Du Yansui beside him who was familiar with King Teng's affairs, so she asked him curiously: "You know so many things about the prince, and he is willing to let you go?"

Du Yansui whispered, "A man's secret."

Play tricks!Cen Sanniang gave him a blank look, and walked in with the two maids.

Brocade Pavilion is indeed the largest clothing store in the city.Clothes made of all kinds of materials are dazzling.

All women love new dresses, and Cen Sanniang is no exception, looking through the materials one by one.

"Hey, Rang Rang, Rang Rang!" Suddenly a buddy jumped out from the side, rushed forward like putting out a fire, and stood in front of Cen Sanniang.

Cen Sanniang was startled: "What's wrong?"

The guy held a smooth feather duster, gently brushed the cloth that Cen Sanniang touched, casually looked her up and down, thrust the feather duster back into his waist, and said with a very respectful expression: "This girl, I have taken a fancy to you." This pig?"

"What?" Cen Sanniang didn't hear clearly.

The guy smiled all over his face: "Could it be that the girl thought it was ordinary ramie?"

Cen Sanniang understood: "You mean the best and most expensive kind of ramie, right?"

The man's voice suddenly rose, and he said sharply, "Twelve taels of gold is a piece, and if you touch it, it will leave a mark, understand?"

He was thin and stretched out like a fighting cock.The three of Cen Sanniang, master and servant, were so shocked that they retreated a few steps.

Du Yansui stood at the door of the shop and let out a muffled laugh.

It's the fault of Cen Sanniang's master and servant who changed into half-worn family clothes when they went out.Small florals on a white background with a lake blue high-waisted skirt.The hair is pulled into a tight bun, and only two gold tins are inserted.He also only wore a pair of hollow gold bracelets on his wrists.Simple like an ordinary civilian woman.

Ah Qiu and Xia Chu had received her orders early, and they were also dressed in simple cotton dresses, with a side bun and two silver hairpins.

Cen Sanniang also explained to him triumphantly: "If you dress too gorgeously, you will be slaughtered like a fat sheep. Stay away from us when you enter the shop, and don't drag me down to bargain."

He held back a laugh and responded repeatedly.After entering the Brocade Pavilion, he stood at the door and waited.Sure enough, he saw this scene.

Xia Chu was more cautious, stepped forward to stand in front of Cen Sanniang, and said to the clerk: "My master is the young lady of Du Guogong's mansion."

The guy glanced at her, and sneered: "You are talking about Du Guogong's mansion in Pingkangfang opposite Dongshi? Mr. Du has seen it before, and he is accompanied by the eldest lady of the Wei family. Let me tell you, Miss Wei's Trying on clothes in the room, and those who are sensible should hurry away. It looks like a flower bone, and I, Hou Saner, can say such words, it’s pity that you don’t get caught by the master and you can’t get off the stage.”

Cen Sanniang was furious, and turned her head to see Du Yansui smiling happily with her arms folded.She slapped the snow-white ramie and said loudly, "What if I touched it? I just don't want to buy it!"

A shallow palm mark was pressed on the smooth as snow.

"You, you... Ouch! Ten taels of gold for a horse..." Hou San'er took a feather duster and smoothed the palm mark carefully.He didn't dare to reach out to touch it himself, and the palm marks were uneven, so Hou San sneered, "Tell you, there is only such a pig in my shop! Look at this palm print, if you don't buy it, you will have to pay me five taels of silver! "

It takes a year to weave a porridge.A real wealthy family can make a piece of clothing and wear it out, and it can also show off.People who come to this store are either rich or expensive.Monkey Three only needs to put on a bitter face, and make a pitiful cry.Not to mention five taels of silver, maybe ten taels of gold to buy this piece of cloth.Monkey Three will also get a few taels of silver from it.

It's just that today Monkey Three has contempt for Cen Sanniang.Seeing that she was young and dressed simply, she didn't play the sympathy card, but wanted to blackmail a few taels of money.

Knowing that Prince Teng was involved, and Du Yansui seemed to be very familiar with the Brocade Pavilion, Cen Sanniang felt confident.She deliberately wanted to provoke Wei Xiaowan to come out to watch the fun, she raised her head and folded her arms and rolled her eyes at Monkey three times: "I have no money!"

Monkey three is smooth-tongued and funny, and often gets some rewards.When people with no eyesight come in to have a look, they will leave ashamed after hearing the price quoted by Hou San'er.Cen Sanniang's rascal behavior provoked Monkey Three to jump up: "What are you doing here without money? Is it possible for someone like you to enter the Brocade Pavilion?"

At this time, seeing the curtain of the inner hall being raised, Wei Xiaowan and Wei Xiaoqing walked out with the girl.

Cen Sanniang's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned her back to the two of them.

The Brocade Pavilion shop is huge, with fabric sellers on one side and ready-made clothes on the other.Cen Sanniang turned her back, but the Wei sisters didn't see her when they left the inner hall.

Du Yansui was standing at the door, just about to come in to rescue Cen Sanniang, so he met Wei Xiaowan head-on.

"Brother Du Jiu!" Wei Xiaowan called out to him in surprise, and walked over quickly.

Wei Xiaoqing sighed secretly, and also blessed Du Yan: "Brother Du Jiu."

Du Yansui had no choice but to stop, and bowed to the two of them: "Miss Wei."

He glanced inside, saw Cen Sanniang sticking out her tongue at him while hiding behind Xia Chu and A Qiu, and smiled wryly in his heart: "Excuse me."

"Brother Du Jiu!" Wei Xiaowan called him eagerly, subconsciously hooking his sleeves, her face full of eagerness, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't want to say a few more words before leaving what..."

Cen Sanniang could see clearly from inside, and softly called out, "Mister!"

This call made Du Yansui shiver shiveringly, and shook off Wei Xiaowan.He was impatient for a while and used too much force, Wei Xiaowan was thrown by him and staggered, but fortunately Wei Xiaoqing helped her in time.Her face was pale, and seeing Cen Sanniang rushing to Du Yansui's side, she was overwhelmed with shame and indignation.

When I was arguing with Du Yansui in front of me and making the store clerk misunderstand that you two are a couple, Cen Sanniang sneered in her heart and gave Wei Xiaowan a sweet smile: "Miss Wei, long time no see!"

Wei Xiaowan bit her lip and forced herself to shout: "Sanniang, you're here too."

His voice was trembling, and Wei Xiaoqing's heart ached.She pulled her sister behind her back, but looked at Hou San and said, "I was trying on clothes in the back room earlier, and I heard you say that some people can't afford the materials, right?"

Hou San's chicken neck retracted earlier, and he smiled apologetically, "Misunderstanding."

Wei Xiaoqing walked over a few steps, glanced at the cloth, saw the palm marks on the cloth, frowned and asked Monkey Three: "Hou San, I want to buy a cloth, is there any stock in the shop?"

Hou San was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Wei, this is the only one."

Wei Xiaoqing tsk-tsk a few times: "This is ten taels of gold for a horse. If you can't afford it, let's just look at it. It's such a waste. Tsk-tsk!"

Cen Sanniang walked over, slapped the bag with two palms, and pressed two more palm marks, and said to Wei Xiaoqing with a smirk: "Yeah, I can't afford it... so I have to look more and touch it more." .”

His eyes stared straight at Wei Xiaowan.

In his desperation, Cen Sanniang clearly saw Du Yansui's sleeves.The meaning in these words is clearly talking about himself.Wei Xiaowan was ashamed and angry, turned her head and ran out.

Wei Xiaoqing was furious: "I want to buy this horse, Cen Sanniang, what do you mean by taking photos?"

Cen Sanniang leaned towards Du Yansui aggrieved, "Sir, I just thought it looked good, so I touched it a few more times. I didn't know Miss Wei wanted to buy it. I didn't see her give money."

When the woman's narrow-mindedness came, Du Yansui's head was as big as a bucket, so she could only sacrifice the sisters of the Wei family and coaxed Cen Sanniang: "You like it, can my husband buy it for you?"

"But there's only one horse in the store, and Miss Wei said she wants to buy it." Cen Sanniang started to go wrong.

Du Yansui had no choice but to bow to Wei Xiaoqing and said, "Can you give it to us?"

Wei Xiaoqing poked his neck and said: "Brother Du Jiu, I was the one who said I would buy this horse first. I'm sorry. Pay!"

The girl next to her gave Hou San some money and wrapped the cloth up.

"Just go to Leyouyuan tomorrow, take it back to the mansion and hurry out to wear it." She glared at Cen Sanniang proudly, and walked away with the girl.

Du Yansui was worried that Cen Sanniang would be angry, so he turned his head and saw her giggling: "Twelve taels of gold will buy a piece of cloth that I rubbed and I don't want it, so why should I be proud of it?"

After a few words, Wei Xiaoqing actually forgot that her original intention of being picky was to vent her anger on her sister, so she spent money to buy the cloth.Du Yansui looked at Cen Sanniang angrily and amusedly, and said in a low voice: "When you get angry, you also make an enemy. Sanniang, don't do this in the future."

"If it wasn't for you being promiscuous, it would have misunderstood me? I haven't said anything yet, what happened to you and Wei Xiaowan?" Cen Sanniang raised her face.

Du Yansui smiled wryly. How could she dare to tell her that her grandmother wanted to marry the Wei family, so she had to resort to a word: "How about I tell you when I go home? It's not convenient to talk here."

"I'll interrogate you when I go home." Cen Sanniang rolled his eyes at him, then gave Ah Qiu a wink with a smile.

Ah Qiu understood, and asked Monkey Three crisply: "My wife didn't care about your previous attitude, and even helped you make a big deal. It's cheaper for you to buy things in your store."
