Chapter Twenty-Six: Xiao Ming
It was the end of noon when I came to the county seat, the morning market had long since dispersed, there were only a few people on the long street in the east, and there were still a few stalls on the street that had not been removed, most of them were selling snacks that could not be left overnight.
Pi Yang was dressed like a human, but he was pushing a wheelbarrow and walking on the street, no matter how he looked at it, the pedestrians passing by, the shopkeepers and guys couldn't help but look at him curiously, and the sons and brothers who passed by showed a look of disdain, shook the feather fan, looked at him and sneered a few times, and then walked away proudly. The little girls, who had been walking together, blushed after a few glances at him, whispered to each other for a while, giggled and ran away. Pi Yang didn't care about everyone's eyes, and saw that the East Street was a little deserted, so he walked leisurely to the middle of the street.
After walking for half a moment, there are more pedestrians coming and going, and after passing the yamen and walking to the west for 100 meters, there is an open area the size of a football field between the street and the river bank, and there is a high wooden fence standing on the side of the street, and on a plaque between the two pillars of the main gate, there is a big "city" character engraved.
This is the largest bazaar in Patong County, where there are a variety of vegetables and fruits, gold and silver jewelry, handmade products, production tools and other goods, people call it a big market, and the market usually opens in the afternoon.
Before the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of various countries were only divided into two cities, the east market sold rice, the west market sold vegetables, and other commodities had to be displayed in the shops and were not allowed to be sold in the open air. After the founding of Taizu Zhao Yin, in order to promote commerce, he opened trade widely, allowing the market to enter the market, in addition to the market in the shops, without hindering the military and political affairs, the traders can sell goods everywhere, so there are now street vendors.
The main gate of the city is a high-walled mansion, next to the vermilion gate stands two majestic stone lions, pavilions and boulder rockeries can be faintly seen in the high wall, which shows the glory and wealth of the owner of this mansion. Adjacent to it is a large shop with a very wide faΓ§ade, and beware of a huge plaque with four large characters on it------ Li Shi Buzhuang.
Pi Yang saw that the door of the shop was closed, and there were no vendors in front of the door, so he leaned the wheelbarrow against the door, set up a display stand, and hung the new clothes on the bamboo poles. β
His voice was so high and bright that it caused passers-by to stop and see him dressed like a scholar, but he shouted loudly at the top of his voice, insulting, disdainful, ridiculing, and so on.
Pi Yang didn't care so much, and when he saw that he had attracted the attention of many people, he shouted loudly: "You guys, look at it, Luo shirt is on the body, he is graceful and dignified, and he has a long skirt on his body, and he is the one who is more beautiful than Feiyan Niang!" β
Everyone listened interestingly, and a big man laughed: "Little brother, is there anything else?" β
Damn, treat Lao Tzu as a singer, why don't you fucking go to the kiln, what kind of mess are you coming to me here? The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Pi Yang smiled and said: "Big brother, do you buy it?" I'll give you another paragraph when I buy it. β
When the big man heard this, he patted his ass and turned his head and left, Pi Yang's old face turned dark, what the hell is this human nature?
Just as he was about to continue shouting, he heard a woman's happy voice next to him: "Hey, miss, look, how does this look like the style of the dresses in the first two months of Li's Cloth Village?" β
The woman who was walking with her was with spring in the corners of her mouth, staring at Pi Yang with a shy face, and when she heard the words, she also took a closer look at the women's long skirts, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Yes, it's very good, I didn't want to buy it before, I just wanted to place an order, but I didn't expect this Li's cloth village to close the door, I look at these sets seem to be better." β
Zixin's little girl's clothes are so popular? Want to buy or have to book? No wonder she said that five copper coins are on sale, I still don't believe it, it seems that Lao Tzu's more than a dozen sets of clothes in his hand are also strange goods, I knew that I was still shouting a fart.
Pi Yang laughed wildly in his heart, but his face was silent, and he was thinking about how to sit on the ground and raise the price, only to hear the shy woman just now say weakly: "Childe, how can this purple skirt be sold?" β
Pi Yang glanced at her, although the appearance is not bad, but compared to the little girl, it is much worse, a blue Luo skirt, a hosta in the bun, it seems that the family background is very solid, and there is a plan in his heart at the moment: "This young lady, I think you have also seen it, this skirt is very delicate and beautiful, but it was after the family under the family went through nine hundred and eighty-one processes before the sewing was completed, Miss, you were born as beautiful as a flower, like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, and the figure is good, wearing this set of purple groups will definitely be able to charm thousands of sons." β
Everyone fainted together, this person is so shameless, in order to sell clothes, he has no shame, he is courteous to the lady on the street, and his mouth is full of flowers, it is really unseemly, unseemly! The rich woman's cheeks were dizzy when she heard this, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to raise her head.
"I see that Miss you sincerely want to buy, I will calculate the cost price for you, the material cost plus the manual fee, a total of eight copper coins." Piyang strikes while the iron is hot.
The rich woman had already lost her judgment, lowered her head and hummed softly, but the maid stopped doing it, snorted and said angrily: "You are not honest, Li's cloth village has the same style of six copper coins, and the materials are not worse than yours, why do you have two more copper coins than others, I think you are a big profiteer!" β
The rich lady was in a hurry when she heard this, for fear of leaving a bad impression on her son, so she hurriedly pulled the corner of the maid's clothes and said, "Qing'er, don't be rude, quickly apologize to this son!" β
The maid named Qing'er snorted again, turned her head away, and muttered something with her mouth. The young lady turned her head to Pi Yang Yifu, and her face was full of apologies: "My family doesn't know how to be polite, I apologize to Childe on her behalf, and ask Childe for forgiveness." β
Dare to shake his face with his own lady, it seems that this person is very comfortable. Pi Yang waved his hand and smiled: "No, no, this Qing'er girl has a straightforward personality, how dare she blame her." β
After two words of flattery, seeing that Qing'er's face was much better, Pi Yang continued: "But Miss Qing'er, you also said it just now, that is the price of the Li family's cloth village, this Li family's big business, how can it be compared to my family's small workshop?" They use their own cloth, sewing clothes is also used by their own labor, and we need to buy raw materials at twice the price in the cloth market, although it is cut and sewn by their own family, but the cost is still much higher than that of Li's cloth village, so it is indeed the cost price of selling eight copper coins. β
Qing'er frowned slightly, and her heart was also totaling, and she nodded unconsciously with Pi Yang's words. The rich lady didn't care about how much money she had, and when she saw her maid's misunderstood son, she whispered: "It's all you ignorant girl, who told you to keep your mouth shut, and punished you for not talking for half a day, and didn't give you money?" β
Qing'er sighed, walked to Pi Yang's side with small steps, took out a Jiaozi from her sleeve, and said apologetically: "Please forgive Qing'er for her reckless words, my young lady said that we bought this long dress." β
Pi Yang took the Jiaozi, saw that the amount was ten, and his heart suddenly blossomed, and after checking the pattern and seal, he took out two Jiaozi with consistent denominations from his arms and handed them to Qing'er, and then packed the purple dress and handed it to her, and hugged her fist at Miss Fujia: "Miss is not only beautiful, but also generous, thank Miss for her generosity, dare to ask Miss Fang's name?" β
Everyone admired him, and they didn't know how this person's face grew, and he praised the young lady and the maid when he caught him. The man who escaped just now didn't know when he ran back again, stood in the crowd and said loudly: "It's really a sight that doesn't know Mount Tai, in the realm of Badong, who doesn't know the daughter of Xiao Yuan's family?" β
Xiao Yuanwai? Isn't his son the young master who molested Zixin's girl, and then led the crowd to beat Zirui? Hating the house and Wu, Pi Yang couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart, but the customer was God, and it was not easy to attack, so he said lightly: "It turned out to be Miss Xiao, and it was abrupt." β
"Little woman Xiao Ming..... "The daughter of the Xiao family was about to introduce herself, and when she saw that her son finished talking to herself, she didn't look at herself anymore, and greeted other guests by herself, Xiao Ying thought that her figure and appearance were not inferior to others, how could she have been so despised, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and lost her mind: "Qing'er, let's go back." β
Everyone saw that the young lady of the Xiao family had bought clothes, and they thought that the workmanship and style of these clothes were not the same, so they stepped forward to ask.
After Pi Yang answered everyone's questions, he raised his head and met the eyes of Miss Xiao who was looking back in the crowd, and when he saw her resentful eyes, he couldn't help but say that what her brother had done didn't seem to have anything to do with her, so he smiled at her. When Xiao Ying saw that smile, she was immediately overjoyed, her mood was as bright as the sun after the rain, she took the little hand of the maid Qing'er, and walked briskly into the crowd.
