Chapter 241: Staying in Beijing
The little lady's maid's face was flushed, and she pointed at the boss and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, when my young lady came to buy, it happened to be an event in the store, saying that your owner was happy with your precious son, and there were many people who bought things that day, and many people saw my lady, how can you talk nonsense with your eyes open?" ”
The proprietress covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, "I still say the same thing, even if you buy it, you can't prove that this piece of cloth belongs to my family, and if you find a problem, you should come early, it's been two months before you come, who knows if it's true or not!" ”
The little lady knew that Bai was coming today, and said to the maid: "Let's go!" ”
The maid glared at the proprietress unwillingly, and said hatefully: "Lady, we will never come again in the future!" ”
The two of them walked out directly, and the two halves of the cloth thrown on the ground were gone.
Seeing that the people were gone, the proprietress smiled triumphantly, and greeted the onlookers with a smile, "Come and see, everyone, the store has a new product from Nanling, and there is no semicolon for this one!" ”
Du Xiaoxi stepped forward to stop the two masters and servants who were about to go out, and apologized to the little lady: "The little woman is the owner of this shop, I am really sorry for what happened just now, please Lady Haihan." Please let the little lady into the store, and the little lady can choose any horse in the store as our apology. ”
The onlookers didn't expect that there would be such a follow-up, and they didn't leave one by one, just waiting to see what to do after that.
Although the materials in the store are good, the clothes and materials of the Liu family are all sent to the house directly by the second master after the fleet returns, and Du Xiaoxi can be said to lack nothing all year round. Du Xiaoxi has not been a person who has been buying and buying anything at home since he was a child, except for his greedy mouth, and he has not been to the clothing store much when he usually goes out. The owner of this shop really doesn't know Du Xiaoxi.
The proprietress didn't expect such a turn, and watched Du Xiaoxi walk in with someone.
Seeing that the proprietress didn't have a smiling face, Lai Xing shouted directly: "The master is still not polite!" ”
The proprietress looked at Du Xiaoxi and said uncertainly: "But the young lady of the Liu family." ”
Du Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Exactly, what is the shopkeeper called?" ”
The proprietress had a moment of unnaturalness on her face, so she saluted: "The slave maid's family name is Wang, you can call the slave maid Wang Niang." ”
"Mrs. Wang, apologize to this lady."
Hearing the obligation in Du Xiaoxi's words, Wang Niangzi looked at the onlookers and struggled: "Young lady, this is obviously their deception, the goods in the store are all directly transported back from Nanling by the second master, there is no such thing at all." ”
"I repeat, apologize to this lady!"
Feeling that Du Xiaoxi's voice became colder, Wang Niangzi reluctantly bowed to the little lady and said, "Today is the little woman's rudeness." ”
When the little lady and the maid saw that the proprietress was punished by the owner, they instantly felt angry, and they both smiled happily.
Du Xiaoxi smiled and said to the two: "Please don't mind, little lady, choose a horse in the store as our apology." ”
Seeing that Du Xiaoxi was sincere, the little lady was embarrassed and said, "No need, the little girl is very happy that you can come forward today." ”
The maid tugged at the corner of the master's clothes and said unwillingly: "Lady, choose, choose a good horse and give it to the second lady to press the bottom of the box." ”
The little lady still shook her head and said to Du Xiaoxi: "Thank you Mrs. today, the little woman said goodbye." ”
Du Xiaoxi also heard the maid's words, and when she saw that the little lady didn't accept it, she said to the female guy standing aside in the store: "Go and choose the most expensive red material." ”
The guy secretly glanced at the proprietress and saw that she had a bad expression on her face, so he hesitated and quickly ran to the counter and hugged a red silk horse over.
Du Xiaoxi took it and handed it directly to the maid in the little lady's excuse, and the maid happily took it and thanked Du Xiaoxi.
Waiting for the two to leave, the onlookers praised the owner of the store for his righteousness, the people were good, and left one by one.
Du Xiaoxi walked around the store, stopped in front of the two horses on the ground and said to the guy: "Close the store!" ”
The two guys were stunned and still took the door panel from the backyard and pressed it one by one, and the second brother Du thought they were slow, and directly pushed people aside and closed the door tightly.
There was light shining into the shop from the window, and a few flowing clouds and brocade on the counter were shining, but the proprietress felt that Du Xiaoxi's face was gloomy.
The two men cleverly found a lantern from the backyard and stood trembling and did not dare to speak.
Du Xiaoxi kicked the material on the ground and said to the guy: "Take these two materials to the backyard, if there are any goods of the same batch in the store, if so, bring them together." ”
The two guys didn't dare to look at the proprietress now, one picked up the materials on the ground, and the other ran to the corner of the store and came over with a few horses of the same pattern and different colors.
Du Xiaoxi took the lead and walked towards the backyard.
"Go get a basin of hot water!"
The guy went directly to the hut where the proprietress usually drank tea and rested, carried a pot of hot water, and found a wooden plate in the yard and brought it together.
"Pour water! Throw the ingredients in and soak them! ”
Du Xiaoxi's voice was cold and indifferent, but the proprietress felt that she was full of chills from the plate of hot water in front of her.
The man poured most of the water into the basin, took out the light powder material that the little lady bought first, and put it in, and at the end, the young man didn't know where to find a chopstick and stirred it in the water.
The material sank into the water, and the colorful butterflies and roses printed on it floated in the floating water, as if they were alive.
Good clothing will not fade even in boiling water, and although the light vermicelli silk in front of you will be deformed and wrinkled when fished out, it will not insult its original quality.
After a while, the guy fished out the light powder material and planned to put the next batch of goose yellow ones in it, but Du Xiaoxi interrupted: "Don't worry about that, put it in the store." ”
The young man answered, took out a light purple material, untied it, and put it in with a corner.
A touch of purple, elegant and noble.
Seeing that it hadn't faded, the proprietress couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Young lady, look, it's not our reason at all, those two are here to cheat money!" The piece of material you gave out cost a hundred taels of silver, which is a big loss! ”
"Try them all."
When the proprietress saw Du Xiaoxi say this, she hurriedly said: "The young lady can't help it, if she opens her mouth, these materials can only be sold for nothing, even if a horse is a few taels of silver!" Now that you know the truth, forget it, why bother doing so much. ”
The young man subconsciously looked at Du Xiaoxi.
Du Xiaoxi smiled, "My things are willing to be practiced badly, how badly they are to practice." What's your business? Then he said to the young man, "Try it all." ”
The young man got the words, and he didn't dare to look at the proprietress at this time, and the two of them opened the remaining horses one by one.
A faint red color in the water, followed by a light green.
The proprietress fell to her knees directly with a sigh, and cried and begged Du Xiaoxi: "Young lady, what's the matter, the slave doesn't know!" The goods are all sent directly by the fleet, and the slaves really don't know what's going on! ”
Du Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes!" I don't know how! ”
"Laixing, remember to talk to the second master about this matter and see how to deal with it."
Lai Xing responded, and didn't look at the proprietress at him.
The proprietress looked at Du Xiaoxi, who had a cold face, and regretted it in her heart.
She had already inquired with Lao Wu from the jewelry shop, this young lady was a careless person, and she hadn't been to the shop for two or three years. Since the young lady was pregnant, Jinyifang was assigned to the young lady, and in the past few months, as Lao Wu said, she didn't even take a look at the maid.
The above tube was loosened, so she thought about it, and took advantage of the young lady's confinement to engage in activities and secretly bought some cheap materials like the store to shoddy, and sure enough, as the person who sold the materials said, she earned more than her annual salary in a day. I was thinking about coming back a few more times, but who knew that I would be caught! Bad luck!
Du Xiaoxi glanced at the proprietress and walked out of the shop.
In the distance, you can still hear the screaming and scolding of the proprietress in the distance: "Two little cheap hooves think that the old lady is unlucky, you can get good?" Go back and let my son kill you! Don't think about it! ”
Daddy Du looked at his daughter proudly and praised: "The happy girl is really great, that momentum is the same as that of Mrs. County Ling, she really deserves to be the daughter of our Du family!" ”
Du Xiaoxi snorted, "Dad and brother didn't help me just now!" ”
Daddy Du smiled, why do you want to help? This is a good opportunity for the girl Liwei, they helped, but they made a mistake.
Du Xiaoxi originally didn't want to go to the pen and ink shop, after all, where the literati and ink guests stayed, Daddy Du would definitely be uncomfortable. Now that I saw Jinyifang, I made up my mind to send someone to take a look.
"Dad, there is a place here that sells food, I'll take you to see it, let's taste the taste of other places."
Daddy Du waved his hand, "Isn't there still a shop?" One piece looked! ”
Seeing the matter of Jinyifang, Father Du felt that his daughter's life was really not good. Well, take a look at it, if the next family still says anything like this, it will be solved for the girl.
Lai Xing saw that the young lady was busy with her eyes and said: "The master of the in-laws is a pen and ink shop, not in the market, not far from the academy, far from here." ”
Little Star interjected at the right time, "Master, I want to eat sugar steamed cheese, but it's delicious, go eat it!" ”
Daddy Du was coquettish by his grandson in his arms, this kind of treatment is groundbreaking for the first time, and he didn't look at the pen and ink, nodded violently, and urged Laixing: "Eat crispy cheese, go quickly!" Come on! ”
A group of people went home with a bulging stomach. I forgot about going to the pen and ink shop at all.
In the afternoon, Du Xiaoxi struck while the iron was hot and said to Daddy Du: "Dad, you see that the people in those shops are not dedicated at all, I am still guarding here, and we don't know what is going on in the county?" Dad, just let your brothers stay and help me! Or your grandson's money will be lost by those people! ”
Father Du originally did not agree with his sons to enter Beijing because he was afraid that his daughters would be looked down upon and wronged in his in-laws' family. Every time the girl gives a New Year's gift, it is a disguised subsidy for the family with real money, and the girl is good enough for the family. How can they still take advantage of their daughters.
Daddy Du thought about the proprietress he met in the morning, and finally nodded.
The boss will definitely not succeed, so Daddy Du left Du Er, who is the most favorite girl, and Du Liu, who is the most clever. As for the other sons, there are a lot of shops in Shanshui County, and one family is always enough. Ay! Now it's okay, the daughters-in-law shouldn't quarrel anymore! But he also has to strictly prevent his daughter-in-law from deducting his daughter's money, he still has to watch more!
