Chapter 158 Buying Clothes

Not only is there no shortage of military salaries, but there is also a surplus, and those industries can be justifiably appropriated for themselves (brother).

Gu Xinyue was in a very happy mood.

didn't wait for Qin Qi to finish drinking the big bowl of porridge, so he changed his clothes and shouted to go out to buy New Year's goods.

Generally, during the Chinese New Year, preparations begin to be made when entering the lunar month, but serious New Year's goods are purchased only after the twentieth day of the lunar month.

At this time, some shops have begun to sell some, but there are not many of them.

In a few days, Zhuangzi will send chickens, ducks, fish, meat and vegetables, wine and oil are all produced by themselves, and silk and satin are all available in these warehouses.

What Gu Xinyue wanted to see was something else that he didn't have.

Moreover, although there is silk, there are still more than 100 new clothes to be made in the house, and you have to find a ready-to-wear shop to make reservations.

After visiting the grocery store, the dim sum shop, and the firecracker shop, Gu Xinyue entered the largest ready-to-wear store in the capital.

The ready-to-wear shop is a large three-storey building, with the ground floor being mainly for general customers and the upper floors for distinguished customers.

That guy has been working in the shop for some years, and he is a poison-eyed man, and when he saw that there were several guards with knives in their group, he directly led Gu Xinyue and Gu Mohan upstairs.

Upstairs was a separate box, and the guy led a few people in, and served tea with his hands and feet, and then came in a middle-aged man with a very kind face.

"What clothes do you want to see, the store just has a new style, why don't you show it to the son?" With a sweep of his eyes, the steward smiled at Gu Mohan.

Gu Mohan glanced sideways at Gu Xinyue and said, "What's the matter, bring it up and show it to my sister-in-law." ”

The steward answered, and after a while, several mothers-in-law brought in more than a dozen pieces of clothes and hung them on hangers.

The materials of those clothes are expensive, the workmanship is exquisite, and one of them seems to be steaming clouds, and the lines are alive.

Gu Xinyue unconsciously got up and looked at it carefully, and said casually: "How much is this one?" ”

Remember, in those suitcases, there was a whole box of this kind of light and elegant, extremely well-embroidered dress.

"This is made of morning glow yarn, and it took five embroiderers a month to embroider it," glancing at Gu Xinyue's expression, the mother-in-law said, "It costs five hundred and fifty taels." ”

Seeing Gu Xinyue's eyebrows raised, the mother-in-law hurriedly pointed to the thin silk pleated skirt next to her and said: "This piece is made of fine Suzhou silk, and it took half a month for an embroidery lady to take only fifty taels." ”

Gu Xinyue nodded, not only the difference in the base material, but also the embroidery is also very valuable, so ......

I was thinking about how much the box of extremely beautifully embroidered dresses was worth, and I felt that my back was warm, Gu Mohan stood behind her, and said in a very unhappy tone: "Do you think we can't afford it?" ”

His tone was cold, and when his eyes swept over, the anger in it made the mother-in-law kneel directly to the ground, and said continuously: "Little one doesn't dare!" ”

"Brother." Gu Xinyue said angrily: "I just ask about the price." ”

"If you like it, let's buy it all and go back." Gu Mohan looked down at her and said softly.

Gu Xinyue was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Brother, we still have filial piety." ”

I can't wear it when I buy it back, why spend this unjust money!

"Then, you ...... here" Gu Mohan turned his head and was about to tell his mother-in-law to bring plain clothes, but Gu Xinyue pulled his sleeves and swallowed the words again, and looked back at Xinyue with an inquiring look.

Why are you here without clothes?

"Trouble, bring me some men's clothes, nay, that's what he can wear." Gu Xinyue smiled and pointed at Qin Qi.

"Huh?" The steward looked at Qin Qi, and then at Gu Xinyue.

The man had been following the two men, and it looked like he was supposed to be a guard.

Came here to buy guard clothes?

"Didn't you?" Gu Xinyue frowned and said, "I thought that you have such a big store, and there are many types." ”

"Yo, who should I be so rich, I actually ordered the cloud skirt first, it turns out that I can't afford to buy it and can only watch it." Before the steward could speak, a pretentious voice came from outside the door.

With the voice, a girl full of luxury and a few girls walked in, and when they saw Gu Mohan in the room, their eyes flashed with amazement, and they were stunned at the door.

Gu Xinyue frowned, and thought for a moment before remembering, isn't this person that Wei Siniang?

Turning his head to look at Gu Mohan, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Being looked at by Wei Siniang with that obscene gaze, Gu Mohan was already very displeased, and when Gu Xinyue looked at him like this, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and he said, "Drive out!" ”

He Niu pulled out half of the knife with a bang, walked up menacingly, and shouted: "NV branch from there, go quickly!" ”

Wei Siniang looked at Gu Mohan affectionately, and was yelled at like this, first stunned, and then said angrily: "You dare!" I am the fourth mother of the Wei family! ”

"What kind of mother do I care about you, don't get out again, you're welcome!" He Niu directly pulled out the knife and shook it in front of Wei Siniang.

The sword light was awe-inspiring, cold as ice, so frightened that Wei Siniang took a few steps back, pointed at Gu Xinyue and said, "Okay, you Gu Liuniang, you wait for me!" I will never let you go! ”

Gu Xinyue looked at Gu Mohan very innocently.

I didn't do anything!

Gu Mohan's face darkened, and he snorted coldly.

The knife in He Niu's hand was raised, so frightened that the maid next to Wei Siniang pulled Wei Siniang and ran outside, only to hear the sound of the stairs, and the person ran away in a flash.

"It's a good one." Gu Xinyue put her fingers to her lips and smiled unconsciously.

Arrogance is arrogance, but it can be seen that He Niu really has the intention of killing, this girl, maybe not as simple as it seems?

"Who is she?" Looking at Gu Xinyue's expression, Gu Mohan asked.

"The Wei family, I'm afraid it's Wei Siniang, the concubine of Wei Shilang." Qin Qi pressed his fist to his lips and laughed: "It's the one who almost became your wife." ”

"Nonsense!" Gu Mohan's face darkened, and he let out a low snort.

Gu Xinyue and Qin Qi glanced at each other tacitly, the corners of their lips turned up, coughed lightly, and said to the steward: "This Wei Siniang, do you often come to you to buy clothes?" ”

"This," the steward hesitated, was glared at by Gu Mohan's cold eyes, and hurriedly said: "Yes, this girl and the aunt at home will come to pick out some clothes every once in a while." ”

Generally, large families have their own embroidery rooms, if it is not enough, it is also called to these shops to customize clothes, and few say that let the aunts and girls at home come out and choose their own clothes.

So the steward just now asked Gu Mohan, not Gu Xinyue, what clothes do you want.

Gu Xinyue pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "You haven't replied to me yet, is there a suitable one?" If there is, I want 300 sets. ”

Three hundred sets? The steward's eyes widened.

It's two sets of new clothes for one person, and there are one hundred and fifty guards in this house!

One hundred and fifty guards with knives, what kind of mansion does this have to be?

The steward's eyes slipped towards Gu Mohan unconsciously.

"General!" There was the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, and a moment later, two red-armored soldiers rushed to the door.

The one in front saw Gu Mohan, paused in his footsteps, hugged his fists and said, "General!" After calling, he said to Qin Qi: "General, just sent a letter from the Ministry of Soldiers, the second prince is dead!" ”

The man behind was a step late, followed him and said, "General, the people brought by Qin Fu have already arrived, why don't you go and get the silver now?" ”
