Chapter 397: Cotton Clothes
After Fang Hanniang got the news, she led Fang Zhiniang to the Rough Cloud Building.
Because she was afraid that the old lady of Pingguo would be worried, Fang Hanniang sent Qiuzhu back to the Pingguo Mansion to say that the two might go back later.
Qiu Zhu was a little worried, but because she was increasingly convinced by Fang Hanniang these days, she did not object, and Fang Hanniang rented a carriage from the carriage and horse shop for her and sent her back.
When Fang Hanniang walked into the Rough Cloud Building, Yun Zixiang was excitedly leading the carriage from the back door of the Rough Cloud Building to the courtyard courtyard.
This is a flatbed carriage specially designed for transporting goods, with most of the truckloads of cotton clothes thickly stacked, and a layer of oiled paper cloth on the head, so as not to get wet with the snow again.
The driver of the goods is the husband of a first-class embroidery lady in the embroidery village, and when he went home at noon to get the needle and thread with his habitual hands, he heard his daughter-in-law say that the righteous act of the boss of the rough cloud building, and took the initiative to ask to help deliver the goods. The expression on the coachman's face was similar to that of Yun Zixiang, both of them were excited, he rubbed his hands and stood next to the carriage, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to scratch his head and smile a little embarrassedly.
Yun Zixiang wanted to pay for his car, he waved his hand again and again, obviously the man who had just said something bad when he greeted Yun Zixiang, but his attitude was very resolute at this time: "No, I can't collect this money." My daughter-in-law said, this is for those who are about to freeze to death, the owner is doing a good deed, although we don't have much money to help, but we can help at all. The owner can rest assured, when the goods need to be shipped later, you can just say a word, I, I don't charge money! He pushed away Yun Zixiang's car money again and again.
Yun Zixiang is a scholar in his bones, and he doesn't want to take advantage of others, he is so anxious that he doesn't know what to say.
Fang Hanniang and Fang Zhiniang stood there and watched with a smile, seeing that the two were arguing over the issue of the fare, and they didn't know when to push it off, so she spoke up: "Brother coachman, thank you for your kindness, but big brother, you also have to support the family, in the winter, it's not easy to run around like this, you better accept the car money." ”
The coachman turned his head and saw Fang Hanniang, who stayed there and couldn't speak.
He remembered what his daughter-in-law said, saying that the owner also received an order, and it was the boss behind the owner who really paid for the good deeds.
He remembered that his daughter-in-law still sighed to him at the time, saying that he had never seen a young lady who looked so standard.
As soon as the coachman saw Fang Hanniang, he remembered what his daughter-in-law said, and knew that the little girl in front of him was the boss in his daughter-in-law's mouth.
The coachman opened his mouth, his face flushed a little, and he didn't know what to say.
Yun Zixiang took the opportunity to stuff the piece of broken silver into the coachman's hand.
"Hey, hey......" The coachman couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, and finally blushed, "Well, then, if you ship the goods again in the future, just keep your voice." ”
Yun Zixiang was quite happy and nodded.
The coachman was forced to collect the money, and he was a little embarrassed, he stepped forward to help untie the rope tied to the flatbed, lifted the corner of the oiled paper cloth, and let Fang Hanniang see the neatly stacked cotton clothes.
The coachman said with great honor: "Look at this workmanship......" He paused, and he didn't know how to call Fang Hanniang Fang Zhiniang.
Looking at the age of the two, they are still little girls, he is a man in his thirties, and it seems a little too disrespectful to call each other "Da Nizi" according to the custom of the neighbors in their alleys.
But shout "boss", right? Such two delicate little girls, it is really a little impossible to shout such words.
The coachman hesitated for a long time, and finally called out "Miss".
As soon as this title came out, the driver felt like he had regained some confidence.
Yes, that's right.
Aren't these two girls in front of you just like the kind of daughters in those books?
The coachman was stuck for a while, and his speech was smooth again.
"Miss, this is a total of 200 cotton clothes. There are ninety pieces for the large size, seventy pieces for the medium size, and forty pieces for the small size. The coachman said with a proud face, "You can look at this stitch, it is absolutely durable." ”
Fang Hanniang stepped forward and took a cotton coat and looked at it carefully.
This Jingchuan cloth is really thicker, and as soon as you start it, you can clearly feel that the feeling is different from the fabrics they wore in the past.
Or rather, the gap is so different.
However, the benefit of this fabric is that it is quite warm.
Most of the cotton clothes are indigo or dark purple tones, and the color looks a little old-fashioned.
The seal of the coarse cloud building was printed on the back of the cotton coat, near the direction of the collar.
Faintly sufficient, it adds a bit of elegance.
Fang Hanniang took a medium-sized cotton coat and whispered a few words to Fang Zhiniang, asking her to wait a little in the warehouse here.
Fang Zhiniang nodded.
Fang Hanniang said to Yun Zixiang: "Boss Yun, borrow the guest room in your house." ”
Yun Zixiang was a little confused, but he still nodded.
Fang Hanniang took the medium-sized cotton coat and went to the guest room.
After a while, Fang Hanniang came out in the medium-sized cotton coat.
For her, this medium-sized padded coat is still a bit big. But it didn't matter, she found two ropes to tie the cuffs, and the other hand tied the neckline there, but she didn't pour air into her body.
Fang Hanniang walked generously in front of the somewhat sluggish crowd and turned around, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, this cloth is really warm." This winter is so cold, it's almost ice, and this cotton coat alone is enough. ”
As for the problem of rough fabric, in the face of this advantage, it can be ignored.
Fang Hanniang also came from poverty, although she is used to wearing silk and satin now, but after all, she was a person who had lived such a hard life, and she knew how important it was to have something to keep out the cold when she was about to freeze to death.
As for the rough fabric?
In the case of life and death, it doesn't matter at all, okay?
The little girl of the Yun family, who had no head, tilted her head and sucked her fingers, looked at Fang Hanniang, and whispered: "It turns out that the eldest lady of a rich family looks so good in poor people's clothes......"
Fang Hanniang smiled slightly.
Yun Zixiang was stunned from the sidelines, and a sentence suddenly came out of his mind.
Even the jingchai cloth skirt can hardly hide half of its elegance......
Yun Zixiang's face turned red as if it was burning.
No one noticed him, though.
Fang Hanniang wore this cotton coat and turned around to feel it, and then went back to change her original clothes.
Because of this, Fang Hanniang's hair was also a little messy. However, she went out today, in order to facilitate her actions, she had a very simple hairpin, she faced the mirror herself, and in a few clicks, she pulled a bun, took the hairpin and went out.
Yun Zixiang was a little afraid to look at Fang Hanniang.
Fang Hanniang didn't care, and smiled with the coachman: "The quality of this cotton clothes is really good, and the embroidery girls have worked hard." ”
The coachman felt as if he had been affirmed, and his face turned red with excitement.
Fang Hanniang said: "Don't bother the two masters, there is one thing, and you have to trouble the big brother of the coachman." ”
The coachman has been pulling goods for people for so many years, and he has met a lot of rich people, where have I seen such a polite daughter?
He was so excited that he almost patted his chest and promised: "You, if you have something, you will command!" ”
Fang Hanniang looked at the sky outside and nodded slightly: "I still have to wait for a while." ”
After a short while, the guy who was watching the shop in front of the coarse cloud building stumbled in almost frightened: "The owner! Landlord...... Bad thing! Outside, there are a lot of military masters outside! ”
Yun Zixiang's face changed suddenly.
Those of them who open shops, in fact, are not afraid of any ruffians and hooligans, and the ruffians and hooligans make trouble, and there is always a place for reasoning.
What they are most afraid of is that those military ruffians will come to make trouble.
Those military ruffians, the yamen is not happy to take care of them, and those of them who open shops in the barracks have no way to meet the top bosses of those military ruffians.
Once you encounter a military ruffian who comes up to make trouble, then you are almost ready to knock out your teeth and swallow blood.
Fang Hanniang saw that the people in the Rough Cloud Building looked panicked, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, everyone, eighty percent of them are their own people." ”
Own?
Yun Zixiang was so confused that he even wanted to laugh.
When will he and those "military masters" become their own people?
Fang Hanniang led Fang Zhiniang into the back door of the store in the Rough Cloud Building, and when she looked, sure enough, the leader of the queue outside was a very familiar guard who had escorted Fang Hanniang in the Ruan family's army.
Yun Zixiang gritted his teeth and followed Fang Hanniang out.
If anything really happened, even if he fought for his life, he couldn't let those military ruffians run into this girl......
Fang Zhiniang opened her mouth in surprise, but she had always been delicate, knowing that Fang Hanniang didn't want people to know their identities, she swallowed the words that came to her throat. She took Fang Hanniang's hand and motioned for her to look behind the Ruan family's army.
Fang Hanniang looked over suspiciously, only to find that there was a person sitting at the end of the line, who was it not Ruan Chuxiao?
Fang Hanniang was a little stunned.
Why did the third cousin come over in person.
She asked Qiu Zhu to go back with a message, she went to find this Third Young Master Ruan, and asked him to help send a team of ten people to come over and help them protect them.
As a result, not to mention the twenty people who came, why did even this Third Young Master Ruan come out in person?
Fang Hanniang bit her lip slightly.
That's not going to work.
Her third cousin's appearance is too eye-catching, and when she walks outside, she almost blatantly declares that they are members of the Ruan family.
This affected her plans......
In Fang Hanniang's plan, they can't have the slightest place to take the initiative to reveal their identities.
Once they take the initiative to reveal that they are members of the Ruan family, there must be many people who will think that they deliberately made such a soup kitchen in order to clear their stigma.
It is necessary to let those who have a heart take the initiative to find out that they are members of the Ruan family, and find out that their Ruan Mansion is doing good deeds without leaving their names, so that there will be a sensational effect, and only then can they shatter the gossip about the evil in the hearts of the women of the Ruan Mansion in one fell swoop.
Fang Hanniang had no choice but to step forward.
