Chapter 25: It's Not Pretty

Listening to Ji Jiuli's words, Anping also looked up at the signboard above his head, but it was a pity that Anping didn't know half of the words, An Huiniang was uneducated, as long as Anping lived well at that time, it would be the best, where would anyone teach Anping to read and write.

"Let's go." Ji Jiuli gently took An Ping's hand again and walked in.

The owner of the shop is a young and beautiful woman, and she is very well-dressed, after all, she always has to clean up decently when she sells clothes.

When the owner of the store saw the guests, he hurriedly put down the work of sorting out the clothes and satin in his hand, and greeted him with a smile on his face, "Welcome to the two guest officers, the two guest officers take a look, what kind of styles are available in our store, and my store can be said to be the most complete style in this Licheng." ”

"Look, Ping'er, my vision is really good, and I found the best store in Licheng as soon as I came." Ji Jiuli listened to the boss's words, and hurriedly turned around like a child and wanted to ask for Anping's cousin.

"Did the girl buy it, or is it this son?" The boss said with a smile.

"Buy cheaply." Ji Jiuli turned around and smiled at the boss.

"Oh, it turned out that the girl bought it, come, the girl will see what style she needs, I'll take it down for the girl, try it on, and if it's not suitable, we're changing the size." The boss in front of him listened to Ji Jiuli's words, and walked to An Ping's side with a smile on his face.

Then he naturally grabbed Anping's arm, "Girl, come here with me to take a look, there are many styles over there......"

Anping doesn't like such intimate contact with living people, so at the moment when the boss grabbed Anping's hand, without waiting for the boss to finish speaking, Anping reflexively withdrew his hand from the boss's hand.

The boss didn't expect Anping to have such a strong reaction, and for a moment, the boss was stunned in place, not knowing how to ease such an awkward relationship for a while.

Anping also noticed his overreaction, so he turned around and nodded slightly to the boss very apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't have the heart, it's just that I'm not used to contact with people, and I hope the boss will forgive me." ”

An Ping came forward to explain that he had just reacted excessively, and such an explanation could be regarded as giving the boss a step down.

The boss is a very easy-going girl, so she naturally forgives Anping very much, so she smiled very apologetically and said, "That's it, oops, I'm really sorry, I don't know, I'm offended, I hope the girl doesn't take it to heart." ”

"No, it won't." Anping responded to the boss very embarrassed.

"That's good, that's good......" The boss got An Ping's understanding and patted his hands very happily.

Then the boss began to follow Anping around the house, "Girl, look at it, this color is the most popular color this year, you can touch it, this satin is good, the color of this dye is not easy to fade, I don't want other workshops to wear satin, as long as it is washed a little, it will fade, then it is black money, we are good people, never do this black-hearted business, if the girl does not believe it, I can bring a basin of water, let the girl wash it." ”

"No need." The boss's excessive enthusiasm really made Anping feel uncomfortable.

"That girl, look at this dress, there are many noble ladies who have made it with me, what material, color, embroidered flowers are very beautiful." The boss walked up to a gorgeous dress and introduced it to Anping with this dress in his hand.

It is a white mopping smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt, covered with moon satin embroidered magnolia butterfly clothes, lined with pale pink brocade wrapping chest, cuffs embroidered with delicate gold butterflies, a few lace lace hooked on the chest placket, a thin layer of silk yarn at the skirt, a gold belt tied around the waist, extravagant and slim, giving people a sense of elegance of temperament.

Ji Jiuli also raised his eyes to look at the dress introduced by the boss, Ji Jiuli looked at the dress, and then looked back at Anping, Anping's face is very charming and cold, this style of clothes is really not suitable for Anping, Anping should wear red to look good.

Thinking like this, Ji Jiuli put a folding fan against his chin and said dissatisfiedly, "Ping'er, this is not good-looking, too light, too plain, not suitable for you." ”

Although Anping also doesn't like this style of clothes, this sentence came out of Ji Jiuli's mouth, as if he knew her very well, but with Ji Jiuli's money to buy things, Anping couldn't help but know what to do, since he said it was not suitable, it was not suitable.

The boss listened to Ji Jiuli's words, and smiled very embarrassedly, you must know that this dress is the best sold this year, but these two guest officers don't seem to like it.

Ji Jiuli glanced at An Ping again, and then looked at the room full of silk.

Ji Jiuli looked around the room, and finally set his eyes on a dress that looked like it was dyed red with blood, this dress was familiar, like the one that the goddess had taken him to Licheng to wear before, a blood-red red dress, worn on the goddess, gaudy and vulgar.

The style of this dress is also like the one worn by the goddess before, and the style of the clothes is probably the same, with only a few differences, which is harmless.

Somehow, Ji Jiuli felt that this dress was suitable for Anping, so he raised his finger with a folding fan and pointed at the dress, and asked, "Shopkeeper, how did you sell this dress?" ”

The boss looked at the direction of Ji Jiuli's finger, then looked back at Ji Jiuli, and smiled very apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, this son, this...... This dress is not for sale. ”

"You're all hanging out, why don't you sell it?" Ji Jiuli was very curious, and asked with a smile.

"Childe doesn't know, this dress is made of imitation of the clothes worn by the goddess on the day she came to Licheng, there is such a piece in every clothing workshop, the goddess has protected me in Licheng for three hundred years, the people of Licheng are very fond of the goddess, so like those of us who do the clothing business, in order to show respect for the goddess, we will leave a portrait of the goddess in every household, and our small workshops that sell clothes are nothing more than hanging an extra piece of the goddess's clothes, so as to attract a good fortune......"

"Do you still have a portrait of a goddess?" Ji Jiuli turned his head to look at the boss.

"Yes, when the goddess came to Licheng three hundred years ago, there was a painter who painted the portrait of the goddess, there was no pure nunnery at that time, it was the descendants in order to show respect for the goddess, and then specially built, the abbot of the pure nunnery view has changed several times, it has always been peaceful, which Cheng thought that fifteen years ago suffered such a disaster, the goddess suddenly passed away, there was no sign at all, hey, the goddess is gone, the divine beast in this witch pool will run out to eat people, helpless, The Pure Compassion Taoist had to send his childhood virgins to worship every two years, but it was a pity that those children who did not know the world were not only so. We little people are also worried......" The boss said as he couldn't help but sigh.

"The divine beast that killed a thousand swords, I didn't know what happened back then, so it was defeated by the Heavenly Monarch of the Nine Heavens, which made the people fearful." The boss mentioned Ji Jiuli again, and he scolded for a while.

Listening to the boss's words, An Ping couldn't help but sneer, he didn't expect that this Ji Jiuli would be scolded in front of him one day.

When Ji Jiuli heard An Ping's laughter, he turned his head to look at An Ping and shook his head helplessly.

But what the boss said about cannibalism, he really wronged him, you must know that even if he Ji Jiuli was beaten down to the heavenly realm, but how to say it is a fairy, he Ji Jiuli can't do this thing, he Ji Jiuli can't do it, at first I met Anping, it was just like scaring her, in the past fifteen years, Anping was the first person to send over, but there are no boys and girls, but this Licheng is very demonic, this letter and Jingci must have some unsightly deeds, which is why Ji Jiuli brought Anping to Duanfu.

After all, this man-eating pot is too heavy, and he Ji Jiuli can't carry it.

"Shopkeeper, can you show me the portrait of the goddess?" Ji Jiuli looked at the boss.

"Of course you can, Childe, wait a minute, I'll go get it." The boss smiled in response, and turned around and walked to the back room.

Anping has seen it on the Sansheng Stone, this Ji Jiuli's lover in this life is a goddess, isn't this Ji Jiuli thinking of his lover? It's funny, since you like the goddess, why do you do it to yourself, it's really a playboy worthy of the name? I really don't know how the goddess fell in love with this waste god who was beaten down by the Heavenly Monarch to the mortal world, but who knows about this heavenly thing? She's just a mortal, what do you care about all these things?

The two of them probably waited in the shop for a while, and the boss walked out with a portrait, "Found it, found it, two guest officers." ”

As he spoke, the boss walked to the side of Ji Jiuli and Anping, and slowly opened the portrait, "Two guest officers, this is the portrait of the goddess." ”

As the portrait slowly unfolds, the portrait shows a woman in a blood-red dress, the woman seems to be standing in the wind, so that the wind lifts the woman's skirt, the woman's long hair like a waterfall is flying in the air, but it is a pity that the woman is wearing a black iron mask so that people can't see the woman's face clearly, and there is a lush peach blossom tree next to the woman, in full swing, as if the beauty of the world is nothing but so, it is vaguely visible in the painting, the woman in the painting is holding a blue bell, and the woman is looking at the eastern sky, It seems to be looking at something, and there is a deep sense of resentment.

It's so beautiful, An Ping looked at the woman in the painting and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Ji Jiuli squinted his eyes, but he was really an old acquaintance, but he didn't know where this goddess was now? However, the birthplace of this goddess is in Huang Zhe, Huang Zhe is a good place to practice, but I heard that Huang Zhe has not been very good recently, and the civil war continues, this goddess is Huang Zhe's successor, isn't it going to Huang Zhe to take over?

Ji Jiuli looked at the goddess in the painting again, and then hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, such a scene seems to be just yesterday, the blue bell in the hand of the goddess is a sharp weapon to seal him, if you want to break the seal, you have to find the bell.

Then Ji Jiuli looked back at the boss, pointed to the goddess on the portrait and said, "Shopkeeper, there is a little less flavor in your painting." ”

"Huh?" The boss obviously didn't understand what Ji Jiuli was saying.

"As we all know, the goddess is a very high immortal, this ancient book should have recorded that the goddess is cold and arrogant, and acts decisively, you have a lot of resentment on this painting, this is not the character of the goddess." Ji Jiuli slowly shook the fan in his hand and spoke slowly.

"This ...... Childe, I don't know what you're talking about, after all, this was painted by our predecessors, and we, the little people, are just copying the portraits of the past. The boss smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said, "Besides, how is the goddess, we haven't seen it before, have we?" ”

Ji Jiuli smiled and nodded, "That's right." "Not to mention other people, usually in the Nine Heavens, this goddess is also difficult to meet, except for wars, and tasks, she has always been alone, and few people have any contact with her.

"Shopkeeper, you can see if there are any such red clothes, my lady is suitable for wearing red." Ji Jiuli raised his hand again and pointed to the blood-red clothes hanging on the side and spoke.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll bring it to the girl." So saying, the boss rolled up the portrait again, put it on the table, walked to the pavilion full of clothes, and began to look for it.

Anping listened to Ji Jiuli's words, raised his head and looked at Ji Jiuli who was standing next to him, and thought in his heart, this Ji Jiuli wanted to buy her this kind of clothes, didn't he think of the goddess, and also thought of the goddess for this Ji Jiuli's purpose is to find the goddess with medicine, but to borrow her to express his lovesickness, Anping is not very happy in his heart, it's just that in the end, it's not his own money, what kind of displeasure are he doing here?
