"Miss Lin, where are we going?" Zhao Xiangling asked suspiciously.

Lin Meiyi didn't look back, "Silk Village, buy cloth." ”

Buying cloth?

Then why don't you go to the embroidery workshop to find the autumn shopkeeper?

Isn't Miss Lin familiar with Shopkeeper Qiu?

Zhao Xiangling was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to ask more, for fear that Lin Meiyi would not answer, so she had to temporarily suppress the question in her heart and observe silently.

The silk village arrived soon, Lin Meiyi led the two slaves and walked in, the guy who guarded the door was startled, he was originally greeting others, he immediately ran over, frowned and said:

"This girl, please also place these two slaves in your hands outside the store temporarily, so as not to disturb other guests."

Lin Meiyi raised her eyes and glanced at this guy, her eyes were full of embarrassment, and there was a hint of disdain in the embarrassment, obviously her dress was not able to be called rich, and she subconsciously felt that she didn't have much spending power.

Lin Meiyi turned her gaze to the guests in the hall, pointed to the maid behind the guest and said, "These two are my little maids, their maids can come in, why can't my little maid?" ”

The guy was stunned by what she said, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the maid behind the guest, and then looked back at the two tall and disheveled slaves behind Lin Meiyi, and shook his head helplessly and persuaded:

"Girl, there are mostly women in the store, you two little girls are not clothed, really, please don't embarrass me."

Lin Meiyi smiled, "I came to you precisely because they were not clothed, so that they could wear two sets of clothes, why, don't you want door-to-door business?" Or do you look down on us croppers, little brother? ”

The guy didn't dare to answer this, so he hurriedly turned around to look at the shopkeeper in the store, and saw that he nodded slightly, and hurriedly raised his finger to the left, asking Lin Meiyi to go over and look.

There are mostly sackcloth, straw sandals, and some clothes and other things, specially prepared for poor families.

Lin Meiyi didn't move, she stood in place and looked at those sackcloths, the warp and weft were sparse, the threads were thick and hard, and it was torture to wear them.

"This is also what people wear?" Lin Meiyi sneered.

The guy looked at the two slaves behind her in surprise, and said in his heart that this is also a person?

But he didn't dare to say that, he just smiled impatiently, didn't want to say a word, and looked like you can buy it, and leave quickly if you look down on it.

Lin Meiyi looked at him like this, and led the three people behind her towards the area where cotton and silk were sold.

On the counter, there were all kinds of step dolls, and some braided ornaments, and the ladies and ladies gathered around the counter, discussing how much to buy to go home, and the women seemed to have little resistance to these lovely things.

Zhao Xiangling was also unconsciously attracted by these puppets, but she didn't forget that there was a Lin Meiyi beside her, and seeing that her face was as usual, she was embarrassed to show such an uninformed appearance, and secretly restrained her mind.

Lin Meiyi stopped in front of the counter, staring directly at the piece of fabric with braided lace behind the counter, with admiration in her eyes.

This braiding has a bit of lace meaning, but it is much simpler than lace braiding, and the length is small, and the maximum will not exceed three fingers, but Wang Yun can actually come up with braiding instead of lace, which is really powerful.

"Miss Lin, what kind of fabric is this, it looks so good." Zhao Xiangling asked in a whisper in Lin Meiyi's ear.

Lin Meiyi looked at the guy beside her who was crying, "What kind of fabric is this?" How is it sold? ”

When the guy heard her inquiry, he couldn't believe it, "The girl wants to buy it?" ”

Lin Meiyi smiled and said nothing, the guy thought he had guessed correctly, although he felt that it was impossible to see her poor clothes, but he still had a glimmer of hope, and stepped forward to explain:

"The lace of this fabric is called braided lace, which is added to the fabric after being done separately, so it looks better, whether it is used to make pillows or a complete set of bedding, it is very good-looking, and the price is not expensive, ten taels of silver for cotton, twenty taels of silver for silk, if you feel that you are in trouble, you can also let us embroider to help do it, but there are too many guests to do recently, it is estimated that you have to wait for three or April."

After the guy finished speaking, Zhao Xiangling was already dead set on this beautiful braided fabric, and she was optimistic about the good looks, but she didn't see that she could ignore the price.

Looking at the two expressionless slaves behind him, Zhao Xiangling suddenly felt that they were so cheap.

It's better to buy slaves than to have money, what do you want to weave cloth!

"Little brother." Lin Meiyi pointed to the two slaves behind her, "Is there a ready-to-wear suit for the two of them?" of the cotton. ”

The guy was still immersed in the sales pitch, and suddenly brought Lin Meiyi's question back to reality, although he was a little disappointed, he didn't have much hope for Lin Meiyi, and he reacted after only a while, and replied with a stiff smile:

"Mai is there, but cotton is gone, after all, we don't usually make such a large size."

After speaking, he also glanced at the black slave behind Lin Meiyi, and the pity in his eyes seemed as if Lin Meiyi had bought a money-losing goods.

After all, it is common sense that black slaves are prone to illness and death, and everyone knows it.

"Then get a set of sackcloth and shoes for each of them first, and you can look at them." Lin Meiyi instructed the guys.

The guy nodded, he was satisfied to be able to take the two slaves and not let them affect the other guests.

After a while, the man returned with the two slaves, and they were finally no longer so out of place when they were dressed.

The eyes of the two of them, which had not fluctuated, now appeared a glimmer of light.

Lin Meiyi nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward, directly threw away the useless leash in her hand, and asked:

"What's your name?"

"Ahh The native slave of the Great Zhou replied, his voice hoarse and rough, and the two words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

Lin Meiyi nodded, and looked at the black slave again, he was still not in good spirits, and his big black and white eyes looked at her in confusion.

Ah Da explained: "He can't understand Da Zhou's dialect. ”

Lin Meiyi nodded in understanding, looked at the black slave, and said word by word: "Then you will call Xiao Hei for the time being, Xiao Hei, do you know?" ”

Xiao Hei tilted his head, his eyes were still confused, Lin Meiyi pointed at him, repeating the name Xiao Hei several times, he pointed at himself half-incomprehensibly, "Laugh, hey?" ”

Lin Meiyi nodded, "You, Xiao Hei." ”

"You, Blackie?" He pointed at Lin Meiyi, still confused in his eyes.

Lin Meiyi pointed at him again, "Xiao Hei." ”

He finally reacted this time, pointed at his little black and shouted twice, and finally nodded to show that he understood.

Lin Meiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the emaciated cheeks and dry lips of the two people, and asked Zhao Xiangling to take them to the noodle stall at the door to eat something first, and she also had to buy some things in the silk village.

Zhao Xiangling nodded with difficulty, and beckoned to Ah Da and Xiao Hei nervously, fortunately, these two slaves looked scary, but in fact they were unexpectedly well-behaved, and they followed honestly, and they had no intention of running away.
