110. a shopkeeper
There are several tailors similar to the clothes of the second princess and Zhang Guifei......"
The guards weren't sure if it was their clothes, so they replaced them with something similar: "And...... When he saw the guy from the tailor's shop, he ran to the Imperial Palace in a hurry......"
"Call Zhang Guifei here!" The queen mother was angry, and her lips trembled: What a concubine Zhang, the royal face has made her lose everything, and so far, she hasn't figured out which family she is, right......
Concubine Zhang Guifei was taking a lunch break and before she left the palace, the little maidservant girl quickly called her over: "The Queen Mother!" Zhang Guifei wondered why the Queen Mother suddenly called her over, but her face was very calm, so she could fix the changes.
"Smack!" The red dress and the jade pendant fell hard in front of Zhang Guifei's eyes: "Do you decompose these two things?" The Queen Mother's voice was extremely cold and mocking.
Zhang Guifei was shocked in her heart, her eyes flashed, and then she calmed down, and smiled faintly: "Suddenly, it looks like Nannan's clothes......"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "It's not like, this foundation is Nannan's clothes!" The cold eyes swept towards Zhang Guifei, and the queen mother only felt that she was disgusting.
"Nannan's clothes, why are they here?" Zhang Guifei didn't know what to do, and secretly said in her heart: Could it be that someone on the road walked to the tailor's shop and discovered the work......
"I want to ask you." The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Guifei's eyes, in addition to mockery, she was disdainful: "How can you take the clothes of Nan Nan to the tailor shop for consignment, our royal family has food and clothing, and we are paid extra monthly salaries, you are still so short of silver, where is your money used?" ”
Zhang Guifei sank her eyelids and thought about the way: "The Queen Mother, there must be a misunderstanding at work, how can I sell women's clothes...... "Oops, the job has really been discovered, what should I do?"
"Still want to be sophistry?" The queen mother waved her hand, took out a few clothes on the silver screen, and put them in front of Zhang Guifei's eyes: "The blue knitted sweater, a year ago, the cuffs were accidentally dripped with a drop of red oil, the color was a little dark, others can't see anything, but the lovers know it, the yellow jacket, the neckline is loose with a silk thread, although it was tightened later, but we, who know it well, can see that it is wrong, the long skirt, the flower on the waist is missing, although it was made up later, take a closer look, or you can see that it is wrong......"
The queen mother said the deficiencies on these clothes one by one: "These clothes are due to a little doubt, you put them on hold, no longer wear, today, they are all in a tailor shop called Yi Nan consignment, don't report me, the clothes are someone else's, just have the same questions with your clothes, of course, if you say so, it doesn't matter, order someone to go to your orchid garden, take out your clothes, if so, I trust, you are wronged......"
Zhang Guifei pounced, knelt on the ground, hid her face and sobbed: "Queen Mother, I can't hide it, my clothes and I are indeed not in the royal family, but I didn't take them out to sell, but ...... I gave the clothes to the people of the Imperial Palace......"
The work is pushed to the Imperial History Palace, and it is not good for the Queen Mother to continue the investigation......
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhang Guifei's eyes and doubled her coldness: "But Zhang Guifei is a royal person, and her words and deeds represent the royal family, even if you want to help the people of the Imperial History Palace, you should inform in advance and don't do anything that damages our royal face." ”
"What's more, your good intentions, but others exercised it in another way, not wearing your clothes, but selling your clothes and buying new ones!" The hot face was attached to someone's cold ass, the eyes of the queen mother, and the tone of her tone were full of indescribable infinite ridicule.
The clothes sent by Zhang Guifei represent the royal family, and it is not strange that the Imperial History Palace of the Ke'er family sold it for silver and bought new clothes, but when she heard this, the queen mother was full of anger, she was a person who loves face very much, and she will naturally be angry if she loses face.
Zhang Guifei wiped her tears: "What the queen mother taught is that the concubine knows that she is wrong, and in the future, she must take the royal strengths as the first ......."
"Who runs that tailor's shop?" The back of the imperial lady was gloomy, and her tone was extremely cold.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I don't know the concubine." No matter what, I can't let the Queen Mother know that the shop is in her own name.
"Zhang Guifei really doesn't know." The queen mother swept at Zhang Guifei with cold eyes: "What about the name of the shop, but what about the name of the shop?" ”
"The name of the queen mother is checked, but the royal order is a royal lady, her status is noble, if I know that the shop is called Yi Nan, I will definitely let them change their names......" Zhang Guifei's tone was cautious, not like lying, and the queen mother's psychology was also relaxed:
"There are a lot of consignments in the shop for you and your clothes, it seems that the shopkeeper and the people of the Imperial History Palace are very familiar, and when they turned around, they changed the name of the shop, and the name of the dignified royal princess was actually used as the name of the shop, don't you feel ashamed?" There is a huge disparity in the status of Shang and officials, and the royal family belongs to the prestigious clan, so naturally he is not expected to contact his own name with the lowly Shang.
"The concubine must urge the imperial history to discuss as soon as possible." Zhang Guifei secretly relieved: The shop is called Yi Nan, and it is also her own move, the truth, there is no one who is a noble person, joy and business have anything to do with it, therefore, the queen mother will wait to rely on her own defense, accidentally, doing the opposite, is also a very good way.
Outside the royal gate, a man looked at the wide open gate with an anxious face, wanting to enter but not daring to enter: What should I do? Concubine Zhang Guifei entrusted herself not to come to the royal palace to find her, but now, the soldiers are coming to the city, and if she doesn't come again, the shop will collapse......
The maidservant Se'er secretly poked out in the courtyard and glanced out of the door: "Eldest princess, as you expected, the shopkeeper is really here, but he doesn't dare to enter, what should we do?" ”
Gu Chichi smiled faintly, there was an indescribable weirdness in his smiling face, Zhang Guifei's tailor shop should have been opened in the dark, and the royal people didn't know it, Zhang Guifei naturally wouldn't let the shopkeeper enter the palace to find her.
However, looking at the shopkeeper's demeanor, as if he had encountered a great difficulty, he would be a good person and force him to make up his mind, whispering a few words in Ser'er's ear, Se'er's eyes sparkled when he listened, and he promised to say goodbye quickly......
Ser Er walked to the door with the food box, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said sharply: "He's a pickpocket, arrest him quickly." ”
When the guard guarding the door heard this, he quickly stepped forward and tied up the shopkeeper, who was out of touch and hurriedly distinguished: "Madam, ma'am...... Mistaken, mistaken, I'm not a pickpocket......"
Ser snorted lightly: "It's not a pickpocket, what are you sneaking at the door of the royal house?" ”
"I ...... I'm here to find someone, and the ...... looking for someone is urgent, and the shopkeeper can't take care of it too much, so he talks about it.
Se'er snorted lightly: "Don't lie to me, the royal residence is all Zhu Zi, who will break down you, a poor ghost, two old people, send him to Dali Temple......"
Dali Temple, which is the place where people stay? Go in and wait, it's hard to come out, I don't want to die in vain, the shopkeeper is anxious at the same time, I can't take care of any work, I just want to save my life: "I'm here to find Zhang Guifei, looking for Zhang Guifei......"
"Will Concubine Zhang decompose you?" With a wave of his hand, he stopped the guards from moving, and Ser was at ease.
"Decompose, decompose, of course decompose......" the shopkeeper agreed.
"And what are you looking for her?" Ser asked unhurriedly.
"The soldiers are coming to the city, but except for Zhang Guifei, you can't report it to anyone else!" The shopkeeper's words were affirmative, and Se'er didn't say anything more, her eyes sparkled: "Two old men, since he is here to find Zhang Guifei, you can take him in, just now I saw Zhang Guifei go to Songshoutang...... "Wait for a good show!"
Songshoutang, Zhang Guifei's regret continues, the queen mother is a little impatient, and is about to wave her hand to let Zhang Guifei return to deal with the work, the maidservant reported outside, "The queen mother, the guards caught a sneaky man, he said that he came to the royal palace to find Zhang Guifei......"
Zhang Guifei was shocked: Who is so stupid to come to the royal palace to find herself at this time......
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed instantly, and the corners of her mouth raised a mocking ice sneer: "Bring in." "Zhang Guifei's work is really a lot, deal with one piece, and then another......
"Zhang Guifei!" The shopkeeper was escorted in, without looking at others, and looked directly at Zhang Guifei with begging eyes.
Shopkeeper, how did he get here? Zhang Guifei's heart was shocked, but her face was as quiet as usual, and she looked at the shopkeeper with very vivid eyes: "Who are you, I will not decompose you." "Darkness, continuous glances at the shopkeeper.
"Zhang Guifei, I'm Tuesday, Yi Nan Tailor Shop, the shopkeeper you hired, why don't you break me down?" The shopkeeper shouted anxiously, and night sweats broke out on his forehead: If Zhang Guifei turned his face and didn't recognize people, he would be sent to Dali Temple, and his life would not be guaranteed......
The queen mother's sharp eyes looked at Zhang Guifei for a moment, the shopkeeper of the tailor shop was actually hired by her, but she was just right, she reported to herself, she didn't know who opened the shop......
"What are you turning upside down, I don't know who the tailor shop is, how can I hire you to be the shopkeeper!" Zhang Guifei interrupted the shopkeeper in a cold voice: "If you continue to slander me, I will send it to Dali Temple......"
"Zhang Guifei, you have to be worthy of your conscience, I am the shopkeeper you invited for ten taels of silver a month, and I have been in charge of the shop for you for two years, why don't you break me down." If it was in normal times, the shopkeeper would definitely notice that something was wrong, but now, he was anxious about his own life, and he was in a hurry, and he couldn't control too much, Zhang Guifei said that he didn't see it.
"You specially told me that if you have something to do with the information in advance, you will go to the shop to find me, I can't go to the royal palace to find you, but the working soldiers are coming to the city, and the imperial history palace can't handle it, I can't take care of too much, so I have to take the risk of coming to the royal palace to find you......"
"Shut up, I don't understand what you're talking about." Zhang Guifei reprimanded, her heart had already become a mess: This stupid uncle, can't you understand the current situation......
"Then I'll say a little more clearly, the clothes you put in the shop to sell, all were returned, due to the excavation, that was worn, not new clothes, the nobles of the high door are clamoring to return the silver, the threshold is about to be broken, our small shop can't afford to provoke, so we have to return the silver to others, Ping resentment, but the silver is taken away by you, there is no turnover silver in the shop, I just took the risk to come to the royal family, and discuss with you......"
The reputation of the shop is completely ruined, and I am afraid that no one will come to buy clothes in the future, and I have done it as the shopkeeper, and it doesn't hurt to be blamed by Zhang Guifei.
Yuwen Qian is a person from the Zhenguo Royal, her words and deeds represent the Zhenguo Royal, and she has a certain influence among the nobles' female dependents, in addition, the nobles are very face-saving, even if their clothes are freshly made, they will take and return them on the grounds of discovering others to wear them, and no one is happy to wear the products sold by a famous shop.
Besides, if one day they are walking down the street with their clothes on, or when they are included in a certain banquet, they are discovered, and the clothes are worn by someone, how shameful it is......
What, when someone discovers clothes, they are not new? The shock in Zhang Guifei's heart can't be described in words, what she did is perfect, she can't be discovered, what's going on?
"Zhang Guifei, originally that shop
