Chapter 16 Hundred Butterflies Wear Flowers
The other party's voice revealed disdain for Bai Jiujiu, which made Xu Huaiqing suddenly feel a little unhappy.
Looking up, I saw a girl dressed as a maid standing in front of him, although it was said to be a maid, but the other party was wearing something that was not vulgar, at first glance, I thought it was a young lady who went out. If Xu Huaiqing hadn't seen the carriage on the corner of the street with sharp eyes, he wouldn't have recognized the identity of the other party.
Ordinary young ladies will not show their heads, after a little thought, Xu Huaiqing felt that the real young lady must still be in that carriage, and the one in front of him was probably the other party's personal maid.
After knowing the identity of the other party, Xu Huaiqing did not rush to please the other party, but replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It was my lady who came here to sell embroidery before, and there was something at home recently, so she asked me to come out." ”
In just a few sentences, it not only explained the reason why Bai Jiujiu was not here, but also broke the previous rumors with bad intentions.
It turns out that he doesn't have any hidden diseases, so let's just say, how can such a good-looking man be as good as Longyang, but it's a pity that the other party already has a lady.
A flash of clarity flashed in the hearts of the surrounding girls, and then their faces darkened. Thinking that such a fairy-like character has already married, I can't help but feel sad. Before, some people were jealous of those girls who relied on their beauty and talked to Xu Huaiqing vigorously, but now they are not jealous at all.
What about how beautiful you are, everyone already has a family. For a while, there was a hint of pity in the eyes of these girls looking at each other.
The maid didn't notice the strangeness of the girls around her, she frowned slightly after hearing Xu Huaiqing's words, thinking of her own young lady's instructions, she began to ask, "My young lady happened to get a handkerchief embroidered by your wife before, and I think the embroidery is very good." It also happened that the sisters in the boudoir got married, so I thought of asking your lady to embroider a screen as a gift. ”
Although it was said to please, but the tone of the other party did not want to be the meaning of the invitation at all, and the words were a pair of my young lady who could look at your lady's embroidery is her blessing, and it is not happy. Thanksgiving Dade for agreeing to come down.
Xu Huaiqing frowned, pondered for a while, and thought that this was the effect of the picture of a hundred butterflies wearing flowers that Bai Jiujiu explained to himself before going out. If it weren't for the little fox's entrustment, he wouldn't have bothered to mediate with the person in front of him.
After all, to put it bluntly, the other party is just a maid who serves people, but he just relies on the power of his own young lady to come to him and fake the tiger.
Just in order not to disappoint Bai Jiujiu, Xu Huaiqing did not show his dissatisfaction, but Rao is so, his eyes still involuntarily turned cold.
Perhaps the other party's performance was not as flattering as he imagined, and the originally arrogant maid also restrained her look, and the contempt in her eyes dissipated a little.
"This girl, when my lady had nothing to do before, she embroidered a picture of a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, which can meet the requirements of your young lady, but this is embroidered by my lady to pass the time, and Xu is not good at making his own claims and selling it to you."
Xu Huai Qingming knew that the picture of a hundred butterflies wearing flowers was specially prepared by Bai Jiujiu for the young lady, but he didn't say anything, only said that it was embroidered by Bai Jiujiu and didn't plan to sell it, and his words were full of embarrassment.
While speaking, Xu Huaiqing also inadvertently wanted to reveal the corner of the picture of a hundred butterflies wearing flowers. Just the horn pattern attracts everyone's attention, and the vivid butterflies frolicking among the flowers as if they are about to fly out. Clusters of colorful flowers are next to each other, not only do they look fancy, but they give people a shock, and some people even faintly smell the fragrance of flowers.
At this time, a few butterflies flew not far away, and after flying around Xu Huaiqing a few times, they stopped steadily on the embroidered stamens, and for a while, people couldn't tell which butterfly was real and which butterfly was embroidered.
This magical scene attracted everyone's attention, and even the people on the other end of the street rushed over after hearing about it, Xu Huaiqing's stall was suddenly surrounded by water, and the surrounding area was full of amazing sounds.
Xu Huaiqing secretly hooked the corners of his mouth, he had this idea when he saw this scene at home before, just now he deliberately didn't rush to take out the picture of the hundred butterflies wearing flowers, just for this moment.
Although he didn't know how the little fox did it, that didn't stop him from being proud of her embroidery skills. Unconsciously Xu Huaiqing's eyes brought a touch of self-satisfaction.
"My lady asked for this embroidery, how many silver taels?"
As soon as the maid saw it, she couldn't take her eyes off it, so she decided to buy it on the spot. The people around him were also a little moved, but when they heard that the other party was talking about silver taels, they immediately retreated.
You must know that the best embroidery in this bazaar is only sold for one or two silver, and a girl's family has such a lot of money, it must be either rich or expensive. Although there are a few wealthy merchants who are not short of silver, they don't want to have a bad relationship with each other, but it's a pity that this picture of a hundred butterflies wearing flowers can't fall into their own hands.
Just when the maid thought that Xu Huaiqing would be ecstatic, she frowned when she saw the other party embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, this embroidery really can't be sold to you, otherwise my lady will find out and I'm afraid she will blame me."
The person who heard it thought that his ears were broken, in order not to make his mother-in-law angry, he couldn't get along with the silver in his hand, this person can't be a brain problem, how can a woman have silver? !
After hearing Xu Huaiqing's words, those girls all made Xizi hold their hearts, they looked so good-looking, and they were affectionate, they were simply perfect husbands, but unfortunately they were not their own.
I have to say that sometimes men and women always look at things from different angles.
The maid also looked at Xu Huaiqing with incredible eyes, and after muttering for a while, she counted them.
"Fifty taels."
"This ......"
"One hundred taels!"
"Shhhh
The people around couldn't help but gasp, you must know that five taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to chew for a year, what is the concept of one hundred taels of silver.
The wealthy businessmen also wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads without moving, and secretly congratulated themselves that they had not impulsively bargained just now. They are not like those croppers, they can't see the identity of each other's maids, the maids of large families have their own rules, even if they can't be cultivated, but they can still see some clues in their words and deeds.
Everyone looked at Xu Huaiqing one after another, eager to nod for him. Under the watchful eye, Xu Huaiqing finally made a move.
