Chapter 27: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
The next day, when Shen Congchen woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, wearing only a pair of obscene pants.
He thought back to last night, and his earlobes were faintly red.
After he got dressed himself, he saw the blue water watering the flowers in the yard, and his face was satisfied, "Where is your young lady?" ”
"Miss went out to run errands with the eldest young master, and said that she wouldn't come back at noon."
Shen Congchen nodded, just as he was going to go to the morning court today, so he didn't stay long and left.
Lord Yu left earlier than Shen Congchen, so the two of them didn't meet.
In the morning, Shen Congchen was also absent-minded when he went to court, and all he thought about was the love and sweetness he had with Yu Weier last night.
He didn't know that these were all imaginary things he had imagined after drinking Chen Yaoyao's blood in his own sleep, but nothing had happened.
Chen Yaoyao, who was negotiating with Yu Weili and the owner of the bookstore, suddenly heard the prompt tone of the system.
"System prompt: [Shen Congchen's favorability: 70]."
Chen Yaoyao pursed her lips in her heart, thinking that sure enough, men are animals with well-developed sponges and thinking on the lower half of their bodies.
Yu Weili is the closed disciple of the prime minister of the dynasty, and he is the court that won the champion, so he is naturally delicate and delicate, and he is very concerned about his sister to publish a book.
Chen Yaoyao handed over the manuscript to the boss and said, "The script is divided into three volumes, this is the manuscript of the first volume, and I will give you the manuscript of the second volume next month." ”
"Okay, with Lord Yu as a guarantee, Miss Yu will not procrastinate."
Bidding farewell to the owner of the bookstore, the Yu brothers and sisters wanted to go back to Yu's mansion directly, but they happened to meet Meng Lan and her maid on the street.
"That's the concubine you were talking about, right?" Yu Weier shook his fan, and the expression on his handsome and moon-like face was light, but there was a little invisible ruthlessness between his eyebrows.
"Well, what's wrong brother?"
Yu Weili looked his sister up and down, "It seems that your mother bought this dress for you three years ago when she bought a dowry for you, why are you still wearing it now?" ”
"As long as the clothes can be worn, I don't pick them." Chen Yaoyao said nonchalantly.
"You are thrifty for your husband, but some people spend lavishly with your frugal money, but I heard that Mrs. Lan in the general's mansion likes to be extravagant, not to mention wearing gold and silver, and you have to bring four or five maidservants to follow you to a temple fair, which is really a big show."
"That's also the general's willingness, I don't care, you don't care so much, let's go home first." Chen Yaoyao tugged at Yu Weili's sleeve and said.
Yu Weili raised her eyebrows, grabbed Chen Yaoyao's wrist and walked towards the ready-to-wear store that Meng Lan had just entered.
When he arrived at that place, Chen Yaoyao broke free of Yu Weili's hand and looked at the other party with some puzzlement.
"Brother, what are you doing? Not going home? ”
"My brother feels sorry for you, seeing that you are wearing old clothes, I want to buy two clothes for you, can't I?"
Chen Yaoyao smiled in her heart, and said that Yu Weier's family is really enough to protect her shortcomings.
"Yes, of course."
Yu Weili closed the paper fan, and then said to the store: "What about the boss?" Where's the boss? ”
The owner of the ready-to-wear store, who was originally following Meng Lan to pick out dresses and fabrics, saw that a new customer was named and asked the boss to receive him, so he hurriedly asked the second boss who was following him to continue to find Meng Lan, and he walked over.
"Isn't this Lord Yu? It's a big deal! This young lady's eyebrows and eyes are similar to those of Lord Yu, so she must be Sister Ling, the eldest lady of General Shen, right? ”
Yu Weili raised her chin and said, "Go, bring the most expensive and beautiful dress in your store, I will buy it for my sister." ”
When the boss heard this, his eyes began to flash with money, and he hurriedly instructed the guys in the store to look for clothes, and then followed Yu Weili and Chen Yaoyao to introduce them to other dresses in the store.
Meng Lan was originally taking care of herself, and she was not dissatisfied with the boss's sudden departure, after all, other people's stores are not just entertaining herself, but when she heard the boss say the words 'General Shen's eldest lady', the nerve in her head immediately tensed, and then she turned around and saw Chen Yaoyao and Yu Weili beside her.
Meng Lan knew that Shen Congchen followed Yu Weier back to her parents' house, and she was very resentful in her heart.
I originally thought that I would come out today to buy something to relax, but it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect that the road was narrow, and I could meet her here.
Meng Lan bit her lip, hid the unwillingness in her eyes in her heart, and then walked up to Chen Yaoyao and Yu Weili, and gave a salute leisurely, "I didn't expect to see the eldest lady and Lord Yu here." ”
Chen Yaoyao tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "That's really a coincidence." ”
Of course she didn't want to come, after all, she felt annoyed when she saw this green tea girl.
But who makes themselves proud of this...... No, the tsundere brother has to be angry with himself.
At this time, the guy in the store brought the clothes, and then the boss introduced: "This dress is called 'leisurely dream', using the technique of glazed satin, the gardenia and lotus pattern on the top are embroidered by the embroidery girl with silver thread and colored silk thread sewn out for 50 days, and the fine yarn on the dress is covered with silver thread, so no matter what kind of light it can show a sparkling appearance, it is the treasure of the store." It's just ......"
"Just what?" Yu Weili asked.
"It's just that this dress costs a thousand taels of silver......" The boss looked at the two ladies, and his voice became lower and lower.
"Just buy it." Yu Weili waved his long sleeves and asked the boss to pack the dress.
"Wait, Lord Yu, the boss also said, this dress is the treasure of the town, Meng Lan has always liked unique things, this dress, Meng Lan also wants, why not compete, the highest price wins?"
Chen Yaoyao raised her eyebrows, she said in her heart that this Meng Lan has a lot of private money, and she actually wants to fight her.
It seems that Shen Congchen doted on Meng Lan before, and gave Meng Lan a lot of money, or when she was in charge of the account books before, she swallowed a lot of gold and silver money, so she spent money so lavishly.
Yu Weili is naturally not afraid, but he is a big man and such a woman who can't be on the stage to compete here, which is somewhat faceless, so he said to Chen Yaoyao: "Sister, my brother will pay you for this dress today, and you can spend as much as you want." ”
Chen Yaoyao turned his head and smiled at Yu Weili, "Then thank you, big brother." ”
Then she turned to face Meng Lan and said in a loud voice: "This dress, Mrs. Ben wants, so boss, how about 1,300 taels?" ”
Meng Lan gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give 1,500 taels." ”
"One thousand six hundred taels." Chen Yaoyao took a step closer and looked at Meng Lan tightly, his eyes almost about to eat the other party alive.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, 'If you have the ability, you will continue to raise the price!' ’
Meng Lan swallowed her saliva, and unwillingly, she shouted 'one thousand nine hundred taels'.
One thousand nine hundred taels, this is all the money she has saved in the four years she has been in the General's Mansion, but now she has to spend it all in order to compete with Yu Weier, Meng Lan is somewhat painful.
But she was unwilling to let Yu Weier press herself, so she gritted her teeth and said the largest amount of money within her ability.
spent so much money just for a dress, and this is still a concubine and a wife raising the bar, such a good show naturally attracted many passers-by to block the door of the store to watch.
Chen Yaoyao has the support of his eldest brother, so he is naturally even more afraid, and just wanted to shout a higher number, but Shen Congchen's voice appeared.
"Two thousand taels, this dress was bought by the general."
