Su Jinyao asked again, "But, Brother Geng, why did you come all the way here?" If you want to wait for us, wouldn't it be the same to go to Fancheng? ”

Geng Bin looked at Gu Xuebin and said mysteriously: "This ...... It is the arrangement under the prince (diàn). I've been here for two (rì) a long time ago, and I've already turned over this Licheng, and finally found a suitable one. ”

"Brother Geng, you also play dumb riddles? What exactly is a piece? After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she turned her head and glared at Gu Xuebin, and said, "It's already in Licheng, how long do you want to hide it from me?" ”

Gu Xuebin took Su Jinyao's hand, patted it lightly twice, and said, "Jinyao, don't worry, first ask Brother Geng how he is preparing." If only he was ready, he would take you to see it. ”

"For me?" When Su Jinyao heard this, her face sank slightly, and she said, "Che, how did you promise me before?" Didn't you say that you should no longer waste your mind preparing gifts? ”

Because of that 10,000-year-old ice spirit, Gu Xuebin had a serious illness, and now his face has eased, but he has not yet recovered to the ruddy and fair skin he had when he was at his healthiest. The (shēn) shape is still emaciated, which makes Su Jinyao feel distressed.

But Gu Xuebin obviously said just now that he shouldn't go to great lengths to find a gift for her, but now he is hiding this from her, which makes Su Jinyao panic and angry.

Gu Xuebin knew that he was going to make Jinyao angry again, so he hurriedly glanced at Geng Bin.

Geng Bin then stepped forward and said, "Miss Liu, you will know if you come with me." This thing is really necessary. How old am I, and you call me 'Brother Geng', so listen to me this time, how about it? ”

Su Jinyao glanced at Gu Xuebin and said to Geng Bin: "Then bother Brother Geng to lead the way, I want to see what the hell you two are doing." ”

"Don't you dare to be a ghost, anything (qíng) in the future must be approved by Jin Yao." Gu Xuebin said, taking Su Jinyao's hand.

Geng Bin hurriedly led the way, and the three of them walked out of the inn. Head to the more bustling streets.

All the way to a ready-to-wear shop, Geng Bin said, "This is it." Miss Liu, wait a minute, I'll ask. ”

Su Jinyao looked up at the shop, and then looked at the mysterious and happy smile on Gu Xuebin's face, and suddenly understood something in her mind.

Gu Xuebin saw that Su Jinyao's face suddenly turned red, gently squeezed her little hand, and said, "It's all here, let's go in." ”

Geng Bin also saw the shyness on Su Jinyao's face, and laughed twice, looking honest and honest, he really looked like a brother.

As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a fat boss. The boss wore a dress similar to a hufu (shēn) embroidered with many intricate and colorful patterns. There is also a tape measure around his neck, presumably as a boss and a tailor.

As soon as the boss saw Geng Bin, he smiled and said, "Brother, you want it so tightly, I'm in a hurry." Luckily, it was just sewn this morning, so you're here to pick it up. ”

As he spoke, the boss saw Su Jinyao again, looked up and down, and said, "It's this girl who wants to wear it, right?" 好 (shēn) paragraph. In my wedding dress, even the princess is not as beautiful as her. Wait, girl, I'll show you. ”

Wedding dress! It's really a wedding dress.

Su Jinyao had just found out that this was a ready-to-wear shop at the door, and vaguely guessed that Gu Xuebin asked Geng Bin to come here first, to make a wedding dress for her.

It is estimated that Gu Xuebin ran out of the capital in a hurry, and he was not sure whether Su Jinyao would go with him, so he was not prepared.

After they left Qingfan and were about to come all the way to Mobei, Gu Xuebin secretly contacted Geng Bin without telling Su Jinyao and asked him to make a wedding dress for Su Jinyao.

As for why I came here to do it, I guess it was to not waste time and not attract attention. Moreover, it is the closest to Fancheng, and it is also the largest and most prosperous of several towns around it, so you can buy a wedding dress with relatively good workmanship here.

Thinking of Gu Xuebin's various arrangements for himself again and again, Su Jinyao's heart twitched sweetly.

Just as he was thinking, the shopkeeper had already come out with a delicate wooden box. The wood is a deep and restrained red sandalwood, carved with the patterns of the Western Regions Hu Feng, as well as beautiful engravings and gilding.

Just such a chic box is definitely worth a lot of money.

Sure enough, I heard the boss treacherously: "I won't tell you, I've been making clothes for so many years, and it's the first time I've taken on such a big business and made such a gorgeous wedding dress." Therefore, I went out of my way to buy the most exquisite Western Regions treasure box to hold it, and you can see what it means to complement each other by looking at the clothes inside. ”

Three hundred and fifty-two one

Su Jinyao listened to what the chubby boss said, and said with a smile: "Boss, I have heard a word called 'buy and return the pearls', which means that the box is too exquisite, and some people only buy the exquisite box, but return the jewels in the box." Your box is so beautiful, don't be incommensurate with this box. ”

"No, no, it's because it's the most proud work of my life, so I took a lot of thought to choose such a box that can match it." After the boss finished speaking, he put the box on the table and said, "This girl, since this wedding dress is for you, you can open it yourself." ”

The smile on Su Jinyao's face just now suddenly froze at the corner of her lips, a little apprehensive and a little embarrassed.

She turned her head to look at Gu Xuebin and whispered, "Che, why don't we take this back and see it." I...... I want to be alone and sneak a look. ”

Gu Xuebin Suo (xìng) teased: "Jinyao, you can secretly watch it, or you can try it secretly, but you have to be sure here." I bought this for a lot of money, Jinyao, this boss is not kind, what if it really only gives you an empty box? ”

Su Jinyao was stunned, and felt that this was also the case. This is the same as buying and leaving, and the silver and goods are in the same way. If she doesn't inspect the goods, what if she turns around and doesn't admit it.

But Su Jinyao also knew that Gu Xuebin just wanted to see her surprise when she saw the wedding dress.

Su Jinyaosuo (xìng) turned the box half a circle, only looked at her side, and slowly lifted the lid.

Su Jinyao faced the inside of the box, Gu Xuebin and Geng Bin were opposite, and they could only see the folding side of the box lid lifted.

The two of them naturally couldn't see the appearance and workmanship of the wedding dress, but both of them saw shock, joy and emotion from Su Jinyao's face.

Gu Xuebin turned his head to look at Geng Bin and said in a low voice: "Brother, you have a good eye." ”

Geng Bin scratched the back of his head with one arm and said, "Don't dare, don't dare not, don't call me like that, it's tormenting me." ”

"Outside, that's what it's called." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he pouted at the boss Nunu and said, "It seems that his skills are indeed good." ”

When the boss heard Gu Xuebin's praise, he hurriedly boasted: "Don't hide it from you, son, my skill is a must." My embroidery handiwork is even better than that of the embroiderers in the palace, and the wedding dress I made is not the style of Hanfu, a bit close to Hufu, but not as wide as Hufu. It is a new style after the improvement of the processing, waist cinching, loose sleeves, ruffles, complex patterns, bright colors, as long as you pay the right price, the wedding dress made is absolutely unique in the world. ”

Geng Bin smiled when he heard this, and said, "Yes, three hundred and fifty taels of silver, I can buy a big mansion in the capital, and buy a few maids and maids." ”

"Hehe, the needs are different." Although the boss was fat, he had a thin mouth, and when he spoke, he said, "Let's do buy a big house, but if a girl gets married, will she put the house on (shēn)?" Or do you want to make a garment out of the title deed? No, I can't. I heard that the princess got married, and the wedding dress was made by several embroiderers for half a month. I have worked tirelessly for two or three days to make such a unique treasure, and I feel that I am glorious. ”

"Haha" Gu Xuebin smiled when he heard this, pointed at Su Jinyao and said: "If she is satisfied and can wear this wedding dress to marry me, you are really glorious." ”

Geng Bin also laughed when he heard this. To say that with Gu Xuebin's (shēn), his daughter-in-law who married him at a big wedding can wear this wedding dress, this fat tailor is really a blessing that his ancestors have smoke.

It's just that the shopkeeper is a little confused, and thinks that he has a sentence (tào), and this son is still serious.

The three men were talking separately, and Su Jinyao's realization had already been taken back from the wedding dress in the box, and then raised his eyes to look at Gu Xuebin, his eyes were full of surprise.

Gu Xuebin hooked his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Jinyao, if you like it, it's fine." ”

"I like it." Su Jinyao nodded and said, "That's it...... Isn't three hundred and fifty taels of silver too expensive? ”

"As long as you like it, it's worth the price." Gu Xuebin did not hesitate, and he would not be stingy at all. His Jinyao is unique in this world, and she is naturally worthy of this wedding dress.

Su Jinyao pointed at the fat tailor and said, "Boss, I'll give you thirty-five taels, and you can remove the ornaments on this wedding dress." Otherwise, we don't want this wedding dress. ”

"Huh?" The chubby tailor, Gu Xuebin, and Geng Bin were all stunned, and they didn't seem to understand Su Jinyao's words.

Only then did Su Jinyao take out the so-called "unique" wedding dress from the box and said, "Are you sure this is a wedding dress?" I don't want to look like a Christmas tree in it. The mess and useless stuff on it are all removed, and I like it just by the style. ”

Gu Xuebin stared at the wedding dress in Su Jinyao's hand and was also stunned.

The wedding dress is a bright red silk base, and the gold thread is embroidered with a rich pattern of peony blossoms. The style is as the tailor said, with a Han-style collar, waist cinch, and loose sleeves, but it has the bright colors and exaggerated embroidery stitches of Hufu.

Of course, no matter how fancy a wedding dress is, no matter how fancy it is, it is not too much. But from top to bottom, this wedding dress is full of colorful glass beads and fine crystals, pearls and other precious stones.

Even if it's pearls alone, there is also the embellishment of jewelry, but those colorful glass beads are really eye-catching.

If you wear it on (shēn), it will also make a "jingling" sound, take one step, ring three times, and with the colorful colors and oversized skirt, it really looks like a Christmas tree full of decorations.

The surprise in Su Jinyao's eyes was there, because this was really too much of a surprise. Joy is not the joy of liking, but the joy of joy; Looking at this wedding dress, I feel very happy, and it makes people laugh more than once.

After Gu Xuebin saw the wedding dress, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at Geng Bin, who was also confused.

Geng Bin shook one arm, held his forehead with his hand, looked helpless, and said in a low voice: "(diàn), this is not the style I originally wanted." No, the original style is similar to this, but I didn't expect that this fat man would take the lead and get those beads on without permission. ”

Gu Xuebin looked at the fat tailor again, he was still smug just now, and at this time he somewhat understood what it meant to "draw snakes and add feet".

But he didn't want to carry this pot, so he had to wave his hand vigorously and said: "Heaven and earth conscience, I'm really making this wedding dress." If you don't add those colored glass gems, how can a piece of clothing be worth three hundred and fifty taels? ”

The fat tailor played tricks

Now, Gu Xuebin understands why Su Jinyao said that she only gave thirty-five taels.

It seems that a wedding dress of thirty-five taels of silver may not be unpleasant; One of these three hundred and fifty taels...... It's really flattering.

Su Jinyao closed the box with a "snap", carried the wedding dress and said solemnly: "Either return all the silver, we don't want this dress." Or, only give you thirty-five taels, you get the glass beads on it, and keep it (ài) how to play and how to play. And this box, such a fancy thing, but it takes up too much space, we have a burden that can be solved (qíng), why bother to make it bother? ”

"This, this...... The wedding dress is ready, what about three hundred and fifty taels, who do you want me to sell? Only give thirty-five taels, which is too much difference. The fat boss's originally small eyes widened, and he was also quite energetic, and waved his hand in a panic: "Why don't you call up, three hundred taels is good?" ”

"It's thirty-five taels, and there's not a single point more. Don't think I don't know how to do (qíng), the pearls on this are not South Sea pearls, they are not big and round, and the luster is not enough, and the present (shēn) is very cheap. I won't say much about this crystal, the polishing is not symmetrical, there are no edges and corners, and the size is different. Even if you don't know the goods, the three of us are connoisseurs, and we have seen more gems than you have ever eaten. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she trembled with the heavy wedding dress, listened to the sound of "ding dong ding dong" from the wedding dress, and said: "There are also these glass beads, things fired in the Western Regions, and they are all used as marbles in the palace, have you fooled me that I haven't seen real gems?" This thing is sold by catties, and if you decorate the whole dress with ten catties and eight catties, it won't cost you five taels of silver, right? It's a shame that you dare to open your mouth. ”

"However, the wedding dresses are all made, my shop is decades old, and my craftsmanship is the best in the city. It's decided, it's just two hundred taels. The fat boss stretched out two fingers and said, "It's not okay to lose two hundred taels, I have worked hard." You should also inquire, no one in this city dares to bargain so ruthlessly. The shops on our street are all in unison, and we can't just say what the customers say. ”

It seems that this fat boss is going to play tricks and buy and sell.

In fact, the workmanship of this wedding dress is still good, and if you remove the messy things on it, it is really festive and beautiful. The design is also very reasonable, the waist (shēn) and length are appropriate, and it should look good when you wear it.

That's why Su Jinyao felt that her giving thirty-five taels was already a conscience price. But if this fat boss insisted on not making a bargain, and got some cheap glass beads to fool her, Su Jinyao would not suffer this dumb loss.

Although she has recently reined in her temper and has not asked about the business she has been operating before, it does not mean that she does not know this (tào) way in the business field.

"Thirty-five taels, not a penny more." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she asked again: "I want to ask, such a big Licheng, there should also be Tongli Yinzhuang, right?" ”

"Yes. But that's the big silver village of the national federation. The fat shopkeeper asked with some curiosity, "Girl, are you going to get the silver?" No need, this guest officer has already paid three hundred and fifty taels before, and I will return you one hundred and fifty taels of silver. ”

Su Jinyao sneered and said, "Can't you understand the words?" We paid three hundred and fifty taels, and now you have to return three hundred and fifteen taels. I asked about Tongli Yinzhuang, just to tell you that I happened to have business dealings with Tongli Yinzhuang, and it happened to be a big business. If you play tricks on me today, I'll shut you down tomorrow. ”

"What, what? Tongli Yinzhuang? The fat boss's little eyes narrowed back again, looking at Su Jinyao, probably calculating how many catties and taels the little girl in front of him had.

Su Jinyao didn't talk nonsense with him, put the wedding dress in her hand on the table, and made a "bang" sound, and then said, "I'll put the clothes here." Give you one night to remove the things above, and ask for an embroidered wedding dress, and tomorrow I will pick up the wedding dress, and you will return us three hundred and fifteen taels. Cash or silver tickets are fine. If you're too lazy to work hard, it's okay, return us three hundred and fifty taels now, and I'll leave immediately. ”

"There's no such reason, there's no such reason." The fat boss rubbed his hands, took a big turn in the room, and then turned around and said, "This girl, I think you can put on the banner of Tongli Yinzhuang, and you won't have no family background." But your words have no evidence, and I need a proof to believe you. Otherwise, you don't want to take another penny. ”

"Okay." Su Jinyao said, took out her special seal from (shēn), walked to the table, took a pen and paper, wrote a few lines, stamped the seal and handed it to the fat boss, and said, "You take this and hand it over to the big shopkeeper of Tongli Yinzhuang." He'll tell you what to do. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao stretched out her hand to pull Gu Xuebin and said, "Let's go, let's come back at this time tomorrow, and the boss will have his decision." ”

"Wait, you, what do you mean by that?" The fat boss shook the note that Su Jinyao had just stuffed into him in his hand, and said, "It actually said that all the money on my shop's account will be sealed?" You, why are you? ”
