Chapter 53: Qixi is not good

General Chen is loyal and patriotic, righteous, and has a bold temperament. General Chen's reputation in the capital of Chongyang is unknown to anyone, so he will not be corrupt. Over the years, he has made great achievements, and the praise he has received should be worth tens of thousands of gold. It's just that this Chen Gongzi can't help but be a little extravagant, right? According to him, he spends so much money on just going to the street, and I am afraid that General Chen will lose all his family property.

Shopkeeper Liu's life is conscientious, and he must educate his children to be a good family, thinking of this, he can't help but shake his head with a sigh for General Chen. General Chen has been away from home for many years in order to defend the territory, and he has less time with his family and more time away, and it is not General Chen who can take care of the children in the house. Alas-

I don't know if a thousand taels of silver is enough? Finally, she made up her mind, took out a silver ticket with a face value of 1,000 taels, handed it to the shopkeeper Liu, and asked, "I don't know if 1,000 taels can be paid?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu came back to his senses, hurriedly handed back the silver ticket worth one hundred taels of gold to her, and then waved his hand and said, "I don't need so much." The eight horses selected by the first two add up to only three hundred and sixty-one taels, plus the double-sided embroidery that the lady fancies, the embroidery is excellent, but also more time-consuming and laborious, it is really expensive, it costs one hundred taels. It adds up to four hundred and sixty-one taels. Didn't the lady have a silver ticket of 500 taels in her hand? ”

She smiled, but still stuffed the silver ticket in her hand into the hands of Shopkeeper Liu, and said, "This horse doesn't count, this horse is a thank you gift from Miss Liang, and she will pay for it." After all, it was Miss Liang who took a fancy to it first, and I was not good at taking advantage of others. And this is a new congratulatory gift from my husband and I to Liang Gongzi and Miss Liang, seeing that Liang Gongzi and Miss Liang have not finished choosing, I might as well let them pick a few more. The shopkeeper of this thousand taels will accept it first. ”

In fact, Mr. Liang and Miss Liang have already finished choosing. Nine is an auspicious number, meaning longevity, and is used for wedding celebrations and to wish for a happy marriage. Although it was hired in a hurry, it was enough to think well. But since she said so, they might as well pick a few more and keep them for their use.

Shopkeeper Liu accepted the silver ticket and greeted: "Wait a minute, and the little one will go in and find a double-sided embroidery for Miss Liang." ”

After a while, the shopkeeper Liu came back with a piece of cloth, but his face was a little embarrassed. You don't need him to speak, everyone has seen it. No matter how much the embroidery workmanship was in his hand, the color of the fabric was a very pale pink. used as a subordinate, the pioneers Liang Gongzi and Miss Liang naturally picked up bright red cloth. This almost white pale pink......

"The shopkeeper can unfold this cloth a little and let me take a closer look?" she personally greeted and helped the shopkeeper Liu unfold the cloth. This cloth shows off the spring peach on one side, and the cold plum and snow on the other. Although she didn't understand female workers, she thought it was the work of one person. The embroidery strives for perfection, which also shows that the embroiderers are full of heart. Although the peach blossom is bright pink, it is not glamorous and shy under the light pink base, and it is hidden gorgeous in simplicity. Hanmei Aoxue is like this, but because the base is not pure white but light pink, it is less cold and more gentle. It was true that this cloth was not suitable for a wedding, but she was happy at a glance.

She turned to Miss Liang and said, "Miss Liang, why don't we change it?" The first horse still belongs to Miss Liang, and this horse is used as a thank you gift from Miss Liang to me, okay?"

Miss Liang naturally nodded in agreement.

In this way, everyone is happy.

At this time, Ying Hao suddenly asked the shopkeeper Liu: "I don't know if this cloth is still redundant?" refers to this pale pink double-sided embroidery. Not to mention, her vision is very good, she looks happy at a glance at this cloth, Ying Hao glanced at it unintentionally, and she also felt happy. That piece of cloth was only enough to make her a set of clothes, and he wanted to make a set, and he needed another one.

Shopkeeper Liu said in distress: "Only this one." If Chen Gongzi likes it, he can also place an order in advance, but he will have to wait for at least half a year before delivery. ”

"Wow. She first handed him back the extra silver ticket in her hand, and then asked, "Why, do you like it too?"

He took the silver ticket, nodded very generously, and said, "I like it." But he frowned again, and asked the shopkeeper Liu: "It's going to wait for at least half a year? It's too long, I pay you twice the deposit, maybe rush to work?"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly on his face, but still replied truthfully: "I can't catch up." ”

Ying Hao didn't say anything more, but his face stinked. These things have always been what he wants, so he doesn't want them. But he can also understand that what Shopkeeper Liu said is true. Double-sided embroidery craftsmanship is exquisite, often their own single transmission, not like ordinary embroidery, if you want to rush to work, you can also call several embroiderers to embroider a horse at the same time. If a person wants to embroider a double-sided embroidery, he is to step up the work, and it is estimated that the delivery of half a year is really the limit. Ying Hao didn't speak, but he was thinking about whether to wait.

At this time, she stretched out her hand to Ying Hao again. He didn't understand what she meant.

She said succinctly: "Silver ticket." ”

As soon as she took the wad of silver tickets in her pocket, she was in her hand again.

She took out a piece of five hundred taels and handed it to Shopkeeper Liu: "It will take half a year for half a year, and Shopkeeper Liu will help us order another one." I don't know if there are tailors in Liu's shopkeeper's shop, why don't you just help us make these two pieces of cloth into ready-to-wear clothes. The five hundred taels of shopkeepers will be accepted first as a deposit. ”

Shopkeeper Liu didn't answer again, and said, "I don't need so much." The deposit is only half paid, this double-sided embroidery is one hundred taels, and the advance half of the deposit is only fifty taels. I do have a tailor in my shop, but the salary is not so much, usually ten taels is enough. If the lady has any special requirements, she can also explain them in detail, and the maximum of two sets adds up to only fifty taels. The lady of the vanguard has already paid one thousand taels, and the five hundred taels can no longer be collected. If it is not enough, wait for the lady to come and pick up the clothes. ”

In this way, she saw that the shopkeeper Liu was honest and sincere, and this time she didn't give the five hundred taels to the shopkeeper Liu, and smiled brightly at the shopkeeper Liu, and said: "Okay, then wait until you come to pick up the clothes." ”

Seeing that she was not embarrassed, the honest shopkeeper Liu was much more relaxed under her kind smile, and said, "Then the two of you will come with me to measure the size later." For now, you can book a pick-up date with your wife. Madame's horse, according to Madame's request, will be made into ready-to-wear at the end of next month. At that time, it can also be delivered directly from the small shop to Chen's house......"

Without waiting for Shopkeeper Liu to finish speaking, she shook her head and said, "No, let's take it when the two sets are ready." ”

Although she said so, Shopkeeper Liu still glanced at Ying Hao.

Ying Hao opened his mouth and said to her: "This material is a little thin, and it is just right to wear it at this time." If you wait for the first half of the year, the weather is cold, and you can't wear it. You don't have to wait for me. ”

"I'm just waiting for you. Wouldn't it be good to buy them together and wear new clothes together when the time comes?Or are you unwilling to wear a couple outfit with me?"

Ying Hao was even more stunned, and he didn't understand what the "couple outfit" was for a while......
