Suiyang.

One of the border towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty on the southern route, it was also the seat of Liang County, and the boxy city walls showed its vicissitudes to the world with brown mottled and dried blood stains, broken wall tiles and towering city gate towers.

In this city, there are 160,000 people living in the city, there are more than 10,000 Hu people living in the city, because the customs of the Hu people in the north are very different from the Han people, so the Northern Wei Dynasty followed the policy of dividing the former Zhao and Hou Zhao Hu and Han, the Hu people live in the city within the city, and the imperial court sends special personnel to manage, while the Han people live in the outer city, and the imperial court also sends special personnel to manage, but they are all subordinate to Taishou.

"Four years of Shiguang, hehe, it's good to be alive!"

Zhao Junsheng, whose face was still a little pale, sat on the threshold of the shop with the sign of "Zhao Ji Clothing", looking at the various pedestrians, cars and horses muttering to himself on the antique side street.

He wore a shirt, a cloth skirt underneath, black and white shoes on his feet, a headscarf on his head, and embroidered words on the scarf: "clothes", and three small characters below the word clothes: "Zhao Junsheng".

Zhao Junsheng was the proprietor and shopkeeper of the garment store, and according to the laws of the Northern Wei Dynasty, all philistines were required to wear a headscarf, with their names and the names of the items they were selling, and they wore white shoes on one foot and black shoes on the other.

"It's time to work!" He slowly got up by holding on to the door frame, turned his head to look at the large number of unsellable clothes in the store, patted the dust on his hands and walked out of the store.

Zhao Junsheng is actually no longer himself, ten days ago, a soul from the afterlife replaced the original soul and successfully gained control of the body.

Zhao Junsheng walked to the board against the wall and took off the red, yellow and white fabrics, first measured the size with a ruler and lime sheets, drew the cutting line, skillfully cut the fabric with scissors, and then threaded the needle to sew the three colors of fabric.

At this moment, a tall young woman walked in outside the store, her hair was combed in a popular cross bun, she was wearing a yellow and gray skirt, and her feet were wearing black cloth mille-feuille shoes.

She raised her right arm bent, and in the crook of her elbow hung a barrel of tung oil, filled with cleaned clothes, and in her left hand a wet wreck.

Zhao Junsheng felt that someone was coming in, turned his head to look, and a smile like a spring breeze appeared on his face: "Mulan, are you back?" ”

Mulan, surnamed Hua, is his unmarried wife, who lives in Huajiabao, eighty miles south of Suiyang City, Huajiabao is on the border between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty Liu Song, and the owner of the fort, Hua Arc, is his future father-in-law.

When Zhao Junsheng first crossed over, he learned that his fiancée's name was Mulan, and it took him a long time to react, was she the heroine Hua Mulan in her previous life? He didn't know, he only knew that she was taking care of him carefully during his illness, and it was because of her meticulousness that his illness could get better so quickly.

Hua Mulan showed a shy smile on her face and agreed: "Well, there are a lot of laundry clothes by the river, I talked to Aunt Luo next door for a while······"

Before she finished speaking, she became a little unhappy, and reproached: "Your illness has not yet healed, didn't you let you rest for two more days before going to the ground?" Why are you up now? ”

Zhao Junsheng stopped what he was doing, showed a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, I feel much better, I want to move my muscles and bones, do you see how good I am now?" ”

"I can't help you!" Hua Mulan pretended to be angry and said, put down the wooden bucket and the clothes beater, walked up to Zhao Junsheng to tidy up the wrinkles of his clothes, and patted the dust on his body.

A sense of sweetness surged into Zhao Junsheng's heart, and he looked at Mulan without blinking, wanting to remember her smile deeply in his heart.

Hua Mulan seemed to feel something, her cheeks turned red instantly, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand and said, "Okay, don't be tired, I'll go dry my clothes!" After saying that, he bent down and picked up the barrel and beat the clothes stick and fled, and ran to the backyard.

Zhao Junsheng looked at her back, looked at her walking posture and couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in his heart: "What's strange about Mulan's walking posture today?" ”

After a while, Mulan returned to the store from the backyard and said to Zhao Junsheng: "I have already baked the cake, and I can eat just two dishes." Hey, what are you doing here? ”

Zhao Junsheng's work did not stop, and he asked while cutting the fabric, "You rubbed your thigh when you came on horseback in the morning?" ”

Mulan's face instantly turned red, and she said angrily: "You, how do you know!" ”

"You are my unmarried wife, and my every move is what I care about!" Zhao Junsheng said that he had seen Mulan's walking posture a little weird before, and he chuckled in his heart, guessing that he might be green, but now he can be sure that Mulan's strange walking posture is caused by riding a horse.

"You wait for me for a while!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he took the tape measure and measured Mulan's waist circumference, hip circumference, thigh circumference, calf circumference, and leg length, and returned to the workbench to slightly modify the size of the fabric he had just cut.

This high-quality twill fabric has a certain elasticity due to the textile needle, which is just enough to sew a pair of pants for Mulan to wear on horseback.

Zhao Junsheng's skillful movements when he held the scissors to cut the fabric surprised Mulan. According to the information she inquired, Zhao Junsheng was only a weak scholar before taking over the shop, and the clothes in this shop were all sewn by nearby women.

What surprised Mulan even more was still behind, after he finished cutting the fabric, he found a roll of the first layer of sheepskin, which was tanned very softly, he cut the sheepskin into two long pieces, threaded the needle and threaded the sheepskin on the fabric with a very fast technique, and then spliced and sewed the fabric, and after a while, he sewed a pair of trousers, looked at the stitch thread, the workmanship was quite fine, and the whole process only took a cup of tea.

Zhao Junsheng threw the trousers to Mulan, who was looking at him in surprise: "I call this breeches, which are specially sewn for horseback riders, they are close to the body and wear-resistant, and even if you wear it, you won't wear out your legs even if you ride a horse all day." You try it on, but remember to medicate the worn area to prevent suppuration. By the way, I remember that Grandpa left some wound medicine before he died, I'll go get you a bottle, wait! ”

Zhao Junsheng quickly found a small porcelain bottle of wound medicine and handed it to Hua Mulan and said: "Here, take the medicine first, then try the pants, if you think it fits, I'll sew a few more for you to wear, go!" ”

"Oh!" Hua Mulan agreed with a red face, took the porcelain vase and took her pants and walked quickly into the inner courtyard to find a room to take medicine and change her pants.

While Mulan was trying on breeches in the backyard room, Zhao Junsheng sewed two pairs of breeches of the same style but different colors one after another.

At this time, Mulan's shout came from the backyard: "Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng!" ”

"Eh, it's coming!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, hurriedly walked to the door of the backyard room and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

A shy voice came from the room: "You, your pants are too tightly sewn, how can I wear them?" Shame on you! ”

Zhao Junsheng patted his head and understood! The breeches are tight, which will reveal the curves of the hips and legs, and he hurriedly said: "The breeches themselves must be tight and elastic so that they will not wear out the thighs, I will bring you a Luo skirt and put it on!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said and ran to the store to get a calf with slit Luo skirt on both sides and handed it down the crack of the door, and after a while, Mulan walked out.

"How does it feel?" Zhao Junsheng asked with concern.

Hua Mulan blushed and said, "Well, I feel much better, and it doesn't hurt anymore!" ”

Zhao Junsheng crossed his arms and looked at it, nodded and said: "This Luo skirt has slits on both sides, which can make it convenient for you to ride a horse, and I wear riding pants inside, which will not go away, and it matches very well!" You're tall, slim, and you're born with a clothes rack that looks good in whatever you wear! ”

“······ I'm going to cook and I'll be ready to eat right away! Hua Mulan couldn't stand the praise, and ran away to cook.

The two worked together to cook the meal and sat facing each other to eat.

Zhao Junsheng had nothing to say: "Mulan, your family is a Xianbei family and a big family, how could Uncle Hua fall in love with me, a poor boy?" Grandpa hasn't told me about this, you tell me about it! ”

Hua Mulan stroked the bangs in front of her forehead, her face was a little flushed, and said: "I heard Grandpa say that sixteen years ago, he and Uncle Zhao joined the army in the north to fight the Rouran people, and they were brothers who shared life and death. ”

Finger belly for marriage? Zhao Junsheng knew that this finger belly marriage first appeared in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was already very popular in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but he didn't expect this to happen to him.

This is the happiest meal Zhao Junsheng has ever eaten in his life, after eating, Mulan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up, Zhao Junsheng returned to the store and looked at the clothes hanging on the wall and was worried.

At some point, Mulan walked up behind him and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "I'm thinking about how to sell these clothes, and the store still owes a large amount of money to Xingyuan Dyeing Factory!" ”

Mulan was also quite worried, and said, "It's been a long time since these clothes have been laid out, right?" It is unlikely that you want to sell it in a short period of time, and nowadays most people spun and weave their own clothes, sew them themselves, and only those who do not have a family will buy clothes to wear! How much money do you owe to the dyeing mill? I still have some private money here······"

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly interrupted: "Don't say that you haven't passed the door yet, even if you do, I can't use your private money!" I'll figure it out, don't worry! ”

"What can you do?"

Zhao Junsheng hugged his arm and touched his chin to think, suddenly his eyes lit up, he slapped his palm and said, "There is!" ”

He started to move his hands after speaking, he put two high benches outside the store, and then carried a board with Mulan and put it on the high bench, and a stall was arranged, and a set of ready-to-wear clothes was taken out of the store and placed on the stall.

Hua Mulan wondered, "What are you doing?" Wouldn't it be better to sell it in-store? Why set up a stall outside? ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled and didn't answer, his face instantly showed a smile like a spring breeze, and he showed a mouthful of white teeth to the pedestrians on the street and shouted loudly: "Come and see, our store sells ready-to-wear clothes at half price, buy one, give one free, until the end of delivery, neighbors, aunts, sisters, don't miss it when you pass by, clear the warehouse, vomit blood and lose money······"

Hua Mulan was stunned when she heard this, what is the difference between this and hawker hawking? However, she still found a difference, that is, "buy one get one free, while supplies last, the serum warehouse is on sale······"

But then something happened that stunned her, Zhao Junsheng called three times in a row, which immediately attracted the attention of passers-by on the street, and a large group of people quickly gathered in front of the store.

Someone in the crowd asked loudly: "Shopkeeper, buy clothes from you, do you really buy one and get one free?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a straight face: "Of course, I have said everything, how can I regret it?" ”

Seeing someone asking, more people gathered around to see the excitement, and someone in the crowd asked loudly: "Shopkeeper, don't lie to us, if you double the price, don't you buy two pieces at the same price?" ”
