As the old saying goes, if you want to break up with a friend, the best thing to do is to borrow money. Qin Baichuan was also quite apprehensive when he passed the book to Yan Juzheng, but this Yan eldest prince did not disappoint him, five thousand taels of silver, no matter where it is placed, it is not a small amount. Of course, on the one hand, these five thousand taels of silver reflect Yan Gongzi's ability to treat money as dung, and on the other hand, it does not rule out the turmoil in Anyang, and he Yan Juzheng came to Jiangling to seek refuge in the possibility of Qin Baichuan's help.

In short, no matter what, with the silver in his hand, Qin Baichuan's waist was stiff, and he pulled the monkey and said, "Let's go, go to Qin Ji to pick up Xiu'er, I promised to buy her a pair of shoes." ”

"Oh, good." The monkey agreed, looked at Qin Baichuan's sloppy outfit, and reminded, "Sir, you ...... Don't change your clothes? ”

"What to change, that's all." Since entering the Splendid Villa, Qin Baichuan has been dressed brightly, that is because Qu Xi had prepared dozens of clothes for him in the wardrobe of Wanhua Xiaozhu, and now the relationship with Qu Xi is at an impasse, and the development of Qin Ji needs silver everywhere, Qin Baichuan will not waste money on himself.

When the monkey saw that he persuaded him not to move, he didn't say more, and after Qin Baichuan got into the carriage, he straightened the cotton hat on his head, threw off his whip and walked towards Xun Qin Ji. After seeing Xu Xiu, Qin Baichuan didn't even wait for Xiao Nizi to refuse, and pulled her into the carriage.

"Big brother...... My shoes have been mended, and they're warm. As soon as Qin Baichuan came back, he put forward many ideas for reorganizing and looking for Qin Ji, Xu Xiu was busy from the morning to now at all, listening to the eldest brother hurriedly calling himself out to buy shoes, Xiao Nizi felt that he was a little upside down: "Big brother, did you hear me?" ”

"Of course I did." Qin Baichuan glanced at Xiu'er's cotton shoes, the last time he saw the hole, Xu Xiu had embroidered a small flower, although it would not leak wind, but it was also eye-catching: "If it was changed to before, these shoes would be fine, but now Xiu'er is the shopkeeper of Xun Qin Ji, wearing shoes with patches, not afraid of being laughed at?" ”

"Laugh and laugh, and it's nothing." Xu Xiu obviously didn't care about this: "Look, there are a lot of things in the store now, Master Gu and Zhang Wanli can't be busy at all, and the shoes in the store are very expensive, why are we wasting all this money?" ”

"Xiu'er, eldest brother finally took you out once, don't you want to?" Qin Baichuan just wanted to spend some time with Xu Xiu to make up for the guilt in his heart, but what Xiu'er said was the truth, and he couldn't answer, so he had to scare with a tiger face.

"Ahh Big brother, no, no, no! Xu Xiu was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again: "Big brother's time is expensive, I can accompany Xiu'er, I can't be happy in my heart, how can I not want to?" I just think it...... The women around the eldest brother are too good, if Xiu'er doesn't work hard to do something, maybe one day the eldest brother thinks Xiu'er is useless, so he won't want me......"

"Silly girl, big brother is the kind of person who is unkind?" Xu Xiu rubbed his little hands nervously, and Qin Baichuan suddenly felt pity in his heart: "We have already made an agreement, two years later, if you don't like someone and are willing to follow me, then the eldest brother will marry you and go home." ”

"Well, Xiu'er is waiting." Xu Xiu smiled sweetly, saw through the car window that it was approaching the main city of Jiangling, and said again: "Big brother, where are we going?" ”

"Just follow the monkeys." Qin Baichuan said casually.

Xu Xiununu mouthed, obviously dissatisfied with Qin Baichuan's perfunctory, but after thinking about it, putting aside Xun Qin Ji, it was really rare for him to enjoy this leisurely time with his eldest brother.

The carriage ticked all the way, after entering the main city of Gangneung, it slowly walked towards the East Avenue, this direction is diagonally opposite the Splendid Villa, the left side of the street where the monkey travels is mostly scholarly and literate, and the right side is where the landlords and rich people gather, therefore, there are many high-end teahouses and restaurants on this road, at the end of the wine shop is an alley, called Jinyifang, making and selling expensive clothes and shoes.

"Big brother, do you want to buy shoes here?" The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Jinyi Fang, and Xu Xiu refused to take a step: "I have heard that this place is the most harmful to people, a pair of embroidered shoes costs only dozens of copper plates, but here it costs five taels of silver!" Big brother, let's go, shall we? ”

"Just left, aren't you afraid that your eldest brother will be unhappy?" Qin Baichuan's face turned dark, and Xu Xiufa asked him in the carriage if he didn't answer positively, because he was afraid that Xiao Nizi would feel sorry for money.

"But...... Big brother, ...... here" Xu Xiu bit her lip and wanted to refuse, but the eldest brother had already grabbed Xu Xiu's little hand impatiently and strode into the Jinyi Fang. Pulling and pulling openly on the street, this is quite an excessive behavior, seeing that someone around him noticed this, Xu Xiu's face was covered with sweat nervously, half pushing and half pushing, bowing his head and following behind Qin Baichuan.

"Xiu'er, take it easy, the things here are expensive, but you don't need money to look at them." Sensing that Xiao Nizi was not in high spirits, Qin Baichuan said with a smile: "Let's take a walk and see more, and the eldest brother will also buy two sets of clothes." ”

"It's okay to buy it for my eldest brother." Xu Xiu suddenly turned from worry to joy, she was reluctant to spend an extra copper plate on herself, but if it was bought for Qin Baichuan, Xu Xiu thought that it was worth it for as much silver.

After doing Xu Xiu's ideological work, Xu Xiu gradually became active, in fact, from ancient times to the present, what girl doesn't like to go shopping? There are many sewing shops on both sides of the street, and the finished clothes are hung at the door, one by one is dazzling, and the flowers are showing, Xu Xiu looks at this one, and then at that one, and feels that which one is beautiful, and people can't put it down.

"Xiu'er, do you like this dress?" In front of a sewing shop, after Xu Xiu saw a white dress embroidered with dark blue lotus, starlight appeared in his eyes, Qin Baichuan saw Xiao Nizi stretch out her hand and wanted to touch the clothes, but she didn't dare to do it, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Ah......" Xu Xiu saw the eldest brother staring at him, hurriedly relieved himself, reluctantly glanced at the clothes, and shook his head duplicitously: "I don't like it." ”

"Don't like to watch it for so long?" Qin Baichuan knew that this little girl was deliberately lying.

"Big brother, I really don't like it." There were already guys in the store who greeted him, and Xu Xiu was a little anxious: "I just think this dress looks good embroidered, so I took a second look." Big brother, hurry up and go, otherwise people will come over later, and we won't buy it, how embarrassing! ”

"The young lady has a fierce eye, and she can see through the extraordinary features of this dress at a glance." Inside the store came a middle-aged man in his forties, with slightly gray hair and a smile on his face. The man had a ruler around his neck, and it was the tailor of the shop who greeted him with a smile.

"What's extraordinary?" The workmanship of this dress is exquisite, and Qin Baichuan stretched out his hand to see the material.

"Huh? Slow down, slow down! When Qin Baichuan came out, he was still wearing the coarse cloth clothes that Xu Xiu prepared for him, he didn't look like a pawn of a poor family, but he didn't look like a rich master, especially because he had a messy bun, but he had to fight with a beggar. Therefore, as soon as Qin Baichuan was about to make a move, the tailor was shocked and stopped in front of Qin Baichuan.

"My eldest brother wants to see the clothes, what are you doing in the way?" The tailor actually stopped the eldest brother, and Xu Xiu felt uncomfortable at that time.

"This young lady, this dress already has a home, and someone will come to pick it up in the past few days, I am afraid that the distinguished guest will accidentally get dirty, in case the owner of this dress is investigated, I can't afford it." Although the little girl's dress was neat and neat, she didn't look like a customer who could afford this kind of clothes, so the tailor just dealt with Xu Xiu and Qin Baichuan in the spirit of not treating guests slowly: "Distinguished guest, this dress is made of the best Yunjin, and it took me seven days to cut it." After the sample was completed, the fast horse was sent to Suzhou, and the old woman Chen of the Gusu embroidery family embroidered it herself, and it was completed after 9981 processes...... If the lady is satisfied with the style of the dress, let me measure the size for you and make it exactly the same for you. ”

"Yun Jin, handmade, Gusu embroidery ......" After listening to the tailor's description, Xu Xiu whispered a few words, Yun Jin can be said to be the best fabric in Dasong, it is said that a foot will cost more than ten taels of silver, that Gusu embroidery is famous throughout the country, this dress is poured into the efforts of many people, and the cost is estimated to be quite expensive.

"Big brother, let's go?" Xu Xiu pulled the corner of Qin Baichuan's clothes.

"Why are you leaving?" Qin Baichuan smiled: "Although I don't know what Yunjin or embroidery is, this dress does look good." ”

"Miss, our old tailor's shop has been open in the brocade shop for almost twenty years, if I don't have the clothes you are satisfied with here, I'm afraid you don't have to look at this brocade shop anymore." At this time, it was already dusk, and there were no guests anyway, so the tailor simply wasted a little more saliva: "Come on, come, I'll measure your size first, and then choose other materials according to the style of this dress, and the price is not expensive." ”

The old tailor had an accurate eye, and he saw through at a glance that he cared about silver, Xu Xiu's face was slightly red, and before he could speak, Qin Baichuan said: "Xiu'er, I feel that the material of this dress is also quite good, why don't we make a set." ”

"Big brother, this dress suits you, like me, I'm afraid I'm going to be laughed at if I wear such clothes." Xu Xiu's heart jumped slightly, wearing clothes of the same material and craftsmanship as her eldest brother, doesn't that mean that outsiders can see at a glance that her relationship with her eldest brother is not ordinary?

"You are the big shopkeeper of Xun Qin Ji, you will inevitably show your head in the future, if you wear ordinary clothes, won't the eldest brother be disgraced?" Qin Baichuan didn't care about that, and pulled Xu Xiu into the store: "Tailor, measure." ”

"Okay, Miss Trouble stretched out her arms and said to ......" Listening to their conversation, it seems that this little girl is still some kind of big shopkeeper, the old tailor did not dare to slack off, and carefully measured the size of Xu Xiu and Qin Baichuan respectively.

"What kind of fabric do you want to use for your clothes?" The tailor recorded the size of the two people, and explained with a smile: "We have a wide variety of fabrics here, ranging from one tael of silver to more than a dozen taels of silver......

"Huh? Xiu'er, isn't that Daddy Xu? Why did he come too? Before the old tailor finished speaking, Qin Baichuan pointed to the opposite side of the brocade shop and said in surprise.

"My daddy? Where is it? Xu Xiu followed Qin Baichuan's finger and looked, the opposite side of the tailor's shop crossed the road is a corner, where is there a figure there?

"Xiu'er, it's really Daddy Xu." Qin Baichuan was unusually sure, with a look on his face: "Father Xu walks staggeringly, as if he has drunk a lot of wine, you go over and take a look, there are many cars in this main city, what if something happens?" ”

"Oh, good." Where did Xu Xiu know Qin Baichuan's thoughts, when she heard that her father was hanging out in the city after drinking, she was also in a hurry, and rushed out of the tailor's shop and ran towards the corner.

I made an appointment yesterday, let me replenish my kidney, and continue the appointment in two days!
