Chapter Eighty-Nine: Cloth

Zheng Jiang really didn't tell Chen Wen who this woman was, and what hatred and grudges they had between them. After Chen Wen finished eating the wontons, Zheng Jiang took her away and went to buy cloth.

Zheng Jiang is really a frequent customer, and the shopkeeper recognizes her at a glance.

"What kind of fabric do you want this time?"

The shopkeeper is middle-aged, his beard has grown, he smiles, he looks like a good old man, and he gives people the feeling that he is a business boss.

Chen Wen nodded secretly, too, he is indeed an excellent businessman who can run a cloth shop in the town like this.

"What did you get here?"

"There are a variety of materials, depending on what you want."

Zheng Jiang was dazzled, replied casually, and whispered to Chen Wen: "You look carefully." ”

Chen Wen didn't say anything, just stood behind Zheng Jiang and watched for himself.

His eyes swept over, and at a glance, he saw that there was a place in the wall cabinet, and there were a few very light-colored cloths, the material seemed to be very thin, and he didn't know what kind of cloth he didn't touch, but Chen Wen's first reaction was that these horses were good cloths.

Xu is Chen Wen's gaze was too strong, and the shopkeeper asked Chen Wen with a smile: "How many horses did the little girl fall in love with?" ”

Chen Wen nodded slowly and asked, "Can I touch it?" ”

The shopkeeper hesitated, looked at Zheng Jiang and then at Chen Wen, and nodded in agreement: "Okay." ”

This little girl came with Zheng Jiang's family, and her speech movements were intimate, Zheng Jiang's was a frequent customer in the store, and the shopkeeper automatically classified Chen Wen as Zheng Jiang's acquaintance.

Although, Chen Wen, who is dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and Zheng Jiang, who is dressed up in fancy clothes, are difficult to fall into the same category.

The shopkeeper tiptoed and took down the cloth placed on a high place, secretly thinking in his heart that this little girl's eyes were really poisonous, and only these few pieces of good cloth in the store were seen through by her at a glance.

Chen Wen looked at the shopkeeper if Chen Wen came by himself today, and he would still make a request to touch the cloth, Chen Wen felt that he would definitely not agree.

Chen Wen's smile became more and more flattering.

The light of the Tuo Zheng Chiang clan.

Chen Wen touched it with his hand, it was a fine plain crepe satin, it was cold to the touch, and it must be very light and breathable when it was made of clothes.

Chen Wen was a little moved and asked him, "What price?" ”

"One foot, two and a half silver."

Hearing this price, not only Chen Wen raised his eyebrows in disbelief, but even Zheng Jiang's eyes widened in surprise.

Chen Wen smacked her tongue, she didn't know the price of the fabric here, she knew that it was expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.

Two halves of silver can only buy one foot? How much does it cost to do a whole body...... Chen Wen touched the purse in his arms, and estimated that he could only buy about a foot, which was not worth it.

The shopkeeper also knew that they might not buy it, and after Chen Wen touched it, he held the cloth in both hands, put them back, and explained to Chen Wen: "This is brought back from the other side of the sea, most of them have been offered, I bought it at a high price, two halves of silver is not too much, right?" ”

Chen Wen smoothed the corners of his clothes, and secretly thought, two halves of silver are quite excessive. But Chen Wen can also understand, after all, it is quite troublesome to ship it back.

But Chen Wen just looked, there was no need for those few pieces of fabric, she usually did farm work, housework, and wore two taels of silver, and this fabric was easy to pull the material, and she would feel distressed if she was torn it.

Not to mention the Zheng Jiang clan.

She makes purses to give away, and although the fabric for giving away is good, it doesn't need to be good, just get it.

Chen Wen turned around to pick out other ingredients, and the shopkeeper followed behind them, chattering.

"Back ago, Miss Wang bought two or three horses and went back to make clothes, these days when I listen to the play, I always wear it, don't say it, I really look like a fairy daughter."

The shopkeeper is also a talker, no one talks about this fabric on weekdays, but today someone asks about the cloth, and he wants to talk about it.

On the one hand, it is also to sell its own material.

Zheng Jiang was not interested in what he said, and just asked, "When will this troupe leave?" ”

"I have to stay for ten days and half a month."

Zheng Jiang sighed and said softly: "It's a pity, I can't see it today." ”

"You also like to listen to operas?" The shopkeeper happily seemed to have found someone from the same path.

"Isn't that one of the few things to be used for?" Zheng Jiang shrugged: "When I was young, I often went to the teahouse to listen to the books, but after I got married, there were fewer people. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Jiang became interested, and remembered that it was still early and had time, so he poked Chen Wen: "Are you going to listen to the book?" ”

"Huh?"

Chen Wen chose carefully, didn't listen to Zheng Jiang's words too clearly, and rubbed her waist, where she was poking.

"Storytelling."

Storyteller?

Chen Wen's eyes widened, she was interested! She has never heard of it, I heard that storytellers like to talk about some grievances, love and hatred, and other gossip, and she likes to listen to gossip the most.

When I go back, I have to mention it to my grandmother, and my grandmother will definitely say that she is worth this trip.

"When are you going to see it?"

"In a while, I'll go and see it when I'm done."

Chen Wen nodded heavily.

Zheng Jiang's reaction to Chen Wen was particularly strange. When she said just now that she was going to take Chen Wen to the play, she didn't see her have this kind of reaction, but she was faint, the kind that she likes to watch or not.

When it comes to listening to books, I am very interested.

If you want her to say, it's more interesting to listen to the play than the two, and the babbling is like a yellow bird, how nice it sounds.

In the end, Chen Wen selected a few horses for Zheng Jiang's family, but they only pulled a few pieces of material, and the price was not much.

Chen Wen, on the other hand, bought three pieces of cloth and spent almost all the available silver money in her hand, leaving a dozen copper plates.

She was embarrassed to say that she wanted to invite Zheng Jiang to listen to the book, after all, she didn't know how much it cost to listen to the book?

The shopkeeper had doubts about what they were doing, especially the few pieces of material that Zheng Jiang pulled.

"What are you going to do with all this bits and pieces?"

Zheng Jiang didn't answer, so Chen Wen replied softly: "We bought it to make trinkets for our daughter's family." ”

"Do it yourself?"

"Hmm." Chen Wen nodded, and didn't want to say more.

It could be seen that they didn't want to say more, and the shopkeeper didn't ask again.

Walking out of the cloth shop, Zheng Jiang took Chen Wen to the teahouse.

Now that the teahouse is not lively, she went to choose a closer location and brought the little girl next to her, who had definitely never heard of storytelling, to see the world.

It's not kind, it's grateful to Chen Wen, after all, she just chose some good ingredients for herself.

But as Chen Wen walked, he suddenly hugged the cloth in his hand and grabbed Zheng Jiang's sleeve to stop her from moving forward.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Wen put his tongue on his top teeth and sighed: "I'm not going, I'll go under the banyan tree before and sit and wait for you?" ”

Hell knows how much she wants to go! Helpless, no money to spend!

"What's wrong?" Zheng Jiang frowned, puzzled, wasn't she quite happy just now? Why did you regret not going as soon as you walked out of that store?

Chen Wen twisted for a while and found out his purse.

"I wanted to invite you to come, but after settling the settlement, I found that I was shy in my pocket......" Chen Wen became quieter and quieter, and even looked at the cloth in his hand, thinking about whether to return it?

Zheng Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking what was the matter.

She patted her chest: "Aunt Jiang, please listen." ”
