It was at this time that there was a sound of rings colliding in my ears, accompanied by a burst of aroma, and a woman also walked in.

"Wow, Li, Li Gongzi is really punctual." The person who came was tall, with red eyebrows and red lips, and a gorgeous demeanor, which was the bean lady.

Yingchun got up with a smile, then picked up the dress, walked to Dou Niang, and said with a smile: "Sister, take a look, can you agree." With that, he handed the dress to the bean lady.

Dou Niang took the dress, raised her hands and shook it gently, the skirt of the flying flower jade Luo waterfell out, Xiao Liu'er stepped forward, bent down, and unfolded the hem for her.

Dou Niang looked at the skirt in front of her, and was speechless for a long time, and after a while, Fang said to Xiao Liu'er: "Take it away for me." Then he turned to Yingchun and said: "Girl, who are you, I am familiar with the Xiufang Clothing Bureau within a hundred miles of the capital and Jinling, but there has never been a dressmaker embroiderer who has such a clever mind as a girl, that is, there are a few embroiderers who are very good at the girl, but in this tailoring, it is not as good as the girl, you-I'm afraid you are not a local." ”

"I-" This asked Yingchun, she was neither a local, she was a local, but such an unbelievable thing, she herself didn't understand what was going on, and how to explain it to others.

"Needless to say," Dou Niang laughed, she had been rolling in the wind and moon field for a long time, and when she encountered someone else's unspeakable secrets, she would never ask, so she stopped with a smile, and then took out two ingots of silver, put them in Yingchun's hand, and said: "The girl must have been busy all night last night, these ten taels of silver, the right to be used as tea, please don't laugh." ”

Yingchun held the silver in his hand, but felt heavy, and wanted to push it away for a while, but remembered that he worked so hard yesterday, so he exchanged a golden hairpin for less than two taels of silver, and for a while, his face was full of impressive smiles: "It's not too hard, it's just that my sister is satisfied." Then he took the two minas into his bosom.

"It's not too early at this time, I should go back, and I will also prepare for today's Shaolan meeting." With that, Damselfly took the dress with her and walked towards a carriage that was waiting outside the door.

Here Dou Niang Fang left, and Yingchun said to Xi'an: "We should go back too." After that, he took out a piece of silver, handed it to Xiao Liu'er, and said: "The main effort of this dress is still spent by you, I just picked up a trick for nothing, these five taels of silver, you accept it." ”

Where did this little Liu'er dare to accept it, Zhang Quan also hurriedly came up to excuse himself, just here between you pushing me and sending it, but I saw the door curtain lifted, and a short and fat middle-aged man walked in.

The man glanced at Yingchun, thinking that these two were just customers in this store, so he didn't care, so he arched his hand at Zhang Quan and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, business is good today." ”

As soon as Zhang Quan saw this person, his expression changed, and he hurriedly put on a smile on his face, and greeted: "Boss Song, please, shopkeeper Song." Then he asked Xiao Liu'er to pour tea.

"No need, I'm just passing by, ask me about the more than 100 taels of silver you owe, when will I pay it back, now the money bank business is not easy to do, although we are old customers, but I am also very embarrassed if I continue to be in arrears like this." Boss Song looked at Zhang Quan with an embarrassed smile.

"Boss Song, you also know that my store is like this now-" Zhang Quan looked around his shop—old household goods, scarce fabrics, and deserted customers.

"Then what should I do, or I'll give you an idea," Boss Song paused for a moment, and then said earnestly: "The Peach Blossom Garden in Xizhuang, they have taken a fancy to the location of your shop, and they have been trying to take it down, I think you might as well hand over the store to them to take care of, and you can eat some life-" Boss Song paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

This is a forcible acquisition. Yingchun squinted at Zhang Quan, and then at Boss Song.

One was silent, the other was smiling.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you think about it, or, alas, your silver can't be paid, I have to find the government, we know each other, I really don't want to get to that step, yes, I'll go first, and I'll come back in two days." Boss Song said that, and walked out with a smile.

As the curtain fell, there was only silence in the room.

After a while, Zhang Quanfang raised his head and heard his old voice say: "This shop, since my grandfather, a hundred years, a hundred years!" ”

And then there were no words.

"How much money do you owe to that bank?" Yingchun asked in a low voice.

"The principal is fifty taels, but with interest, it's already one hundred and thirty taels." Zhang Quan replied, his eyes glazed over.

Yingchun was also silent for a long time, and then turned to Zhang Quandao: "I won't bother here, sue, leave." ”

"Today's matter, I don't know how to be grateful to the girl, it's just, it's just that I'm at the moment-" Zhang Quan's heart was so confused at the moment that he didn't know how to continue.

Yingchun shook his head, signaling that he didn't have to say any more, just bowed, and then withdrew with Xi'an.

The two of them came out of February Spring, and the sunlight outside was dazzling, and the streets were full of people coming and going, and they were like two worlds.

"The last time I came back from Jiafu, my fourth sister gave me a box with some old jewelry in it, perhaps—" Yingchun muttered to herself.

"Grandma, you're not—" Xi'an looked at Yingchun uneasily. Now that Yingchun is a little stumbling, it is difficult to protect himself, do you still have to help others?

"Let me think again." Yingchun quietly showed a sly smile on his face.

"Let's go back first—hey, there seem to be a lot of people on this street today." Yingchun looked at the street market where people came and went, but saw that today was much more lively than yesterday, fragrant cars and BMWs, green sideburns and eyebrows, an endless stream, roadside selling rouge gouache, and vendors of various pastries were also crowded.

"Maybe it has something to do with the peony club today." Xi'an had never seen such a lively scene, and she couldn't help but have a little curiosity on her face.

"Let's go, let's take a look quietly." Yingchun's eyes rolled, and he pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

I have long heard that the Qinglou women of this era are not ordinary, in addition to their outstanding appearance, they are also good at writing and painting, and their talents are superb, even if they are not comparable to ordinary women from official eunuchs.

She has seen the spicy and straightforward bean lady, but she still wants to see more.

"This can't be done, grandma, that kind of occasion is not something that a serious lady can go, besides, we have to go back before dark." Xi'an desperately tried to stop it. "It's okay, I'm a serious lady, well, I'm Li Han Li Gongzi now, let's go, we must come back before dark." Yingchun pulled Xi'an with a somewhat naughty look and left.

Xi'an knew that once she made up her mind about Yingchun now, she would never change it, so she had no choice but to follow her in the direction of the crowd.
