Chapter 26: The Splendid City
Splendid City is located in the flat terrain, the area of the city alone is as big as dozens of Jinxi Town, the street is full of people, the river is endless, here is not like the town is divided into morning market and evening market, but the whole day is noisy, in addition to the street looks ordinary and dressed ordinary street vendors, are the people of various families and sects who look good in brocade clothes.
Therefore, when two little girls, one high and one low, walked in from the city gate, one high and one low, who looked extraordinary, but were not as dressed as ordinary merchants, everyone looked at them with great surprise.
These two people, Fengxi and Aman, who had just arrived in Splendid City, were dusty along the way, and their dresses looked even more shabby.
From the eyes of the others, Feng Xi probably understood that they were really a little unbearable, so he pulled Aman and prepared to find a clothing shop in the city, and buy a few clothes first.
"Shop, how do you sell this purple dress?"
Feng Xi touched the comfortable fabric in his hand, the sleeves were wide, and there was a tassel of the same color hanging from the waist, the style was light and cute, which was very suitable for Oman.
The shopkeeper was a woman who looked to be in her early thirties, dressed exquisitely leaning on the counter to sort out the newly arrived fabrics, and when she heard someone asking, she looked up, and when she saw the two of them dressed, her eyes showed a little disappointment without a trace, but she still replied seriously:
"That one is made of Tianxiang brocade silkworms, and it sells for two hundred spirit yuan."
Feng Xi was a little surprised, and thought to himself: The city is really different, one gold coin can buy five sets of dresses, it seems that I will have to find a way to earn more Lingyuan in the future.
What she didn't know was that the garment shop they happened to walk into happened to be a famous national color shop in the city, where the dresses were expensive, but the materials were high-quality and the workmanship was exquisite, so although they didn't sell much, the reputation was excellent.
Aman on the side tugged at the corner of Feng Xi's clothes, she knew that according to Feng Xi's character, she would definitely not like this kind of complicated style, guessing that it was probably bought for herself, and when she heard that she wanted two hundred spirit yuan, she was in a hurry to pull Feng Xi away.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper was even more disappointed, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sneer:
"What kind of national color shop did you come to without Lingyuan? Ten meters before turning right out, the garment village is very suitable for you, and it only takes a few dozen Lingyuan to one! ”
Feng Xi, who was about to take out the gold coins, turned around and saw that three beautifully dressed girls were standing behind them at some point, looking at them with a mocking expression
They.
The three of them were all wearing a light green suit, with a white belt tied around their waists, looking quite capable, and the collar was embroidered with gold silk peony flowers, which should be the uniform clothing of a certain family, the first one was slightly younger, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her appearance was still delicate, but her expression was arrogant, and she was the one who spoke just now.
Seeing Feng Xi looking over, he said:
"What? Am I wrong? This is not where people like you should be. ”
Feng Xi had no intention of arguing with her, so she stepped aside to let them in, and several girls rushed in, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted her when she saw this, and said with a smile:
"Miss Ye, what kind of fabric skirt do you want to pick today?"
From the familiar tone of the shopkeeper, it can be heard that this girl named Miss Ye is a frequent customer here.
To say that it is also a narrow road, this Ye girl is Ye Xiaoyi, the second girl of the Ye family who was sent to Qiao's house by the Ye family in Jinxi Town and successfully became a child of the outer family.
However, at this time, the two did not know each other. Feng Xi had only heard the name twice in Ye Xiaosheng's mouth, and Ye Xiaosheng was really embarrassed because of what happened last time, so he didn't talk about it in front of his sister.
Aman recognized Ye Xiaoyi, but Ye Xiaoyi's attention seemed to be on Feng Xi, and directly ignored Aman, who was standing on the side and was a little shorter. Aman had the heart to remind Feng Xi, and pulled the corner of her clothes again to signal to leave, but Feng Xi misunderstood that he was afraid, but a trace of anger rose in his heart.
Ye Xiaoyi's personality is very close to her brother Ye Xiaosheng, and she is used to bullying the weak, and at this moment, seeing that the two of them dressed shabby dared to step into the National Fragrance Workshop, which she only dared to enter once a month, she couldn't help but start sarcastic.
I saw that Ye Xiaoyi didn't answer the shopkeeper's words, and glanced around the store with a pair of eyes, and finally stopped at Feng Xi to take the purple skirt in his hand, and pointed with his fingertips:
"That's what I want."
Feng Xi frowned, and did not let go when the girl next to Ye Xiaoyi came over to get the skirt.
The girl instantly said angrily:
"In broad daylight, are you still going to snatch clothes and run away?"
Feng Xi smiled angrily, and his tone was a little cold and hard:
"Rob? Everything comes first and comes first, and only then does it take the loved ones. ”
As he spoke, in the stunned expressions of several people, he politely handed the gold coin that had been held in his hand for a long time to the shopkeeper.
"Shop, I bought this dress."
Then he rummaged through the shelves next to him a few times, and soon pulled out a set of aqua blue puff sleeve skirts and two sets of simple skirts, one red and one white, and put them on the counter, holding another gold coin in his hand, and said to the shopkeeper who was still in shock:
"I have all these things, calculate how many spirit yuan I need, if it's not enough, I still have it here."
"Enough, enough!"
The shopkeeper's joy is indescribable, and she only sold two pieces in total last month, but the poorly dressed girl in front of her bought four pieces at once.
She hurriedly folded the dresses carefully one by one, and gave the extra two hundred spirit yuan to Fengxi.
And the complete opposite of her expression was the three girls, their faces were so gloomy that they could almost drip water, and one of them was about to open her mouth, but Miss Ye stopped her, looked at Feng Xi with a wrapped dress with an ugly face, and left in a good mood.
After the people left, Ye Xiaoyi asked the shopkeeper with an ugly face:
"I haven't seen this person in several big families in the city, can Shopkeeper Jiang know her details?"
It turned out that the shopkeeper's surname was Jiang, and Guosefang was also the Jiang family's industry, and the Jiang family's status ranked third in Splendid City, second only to the Qiao family and the Lan family.
Shopkeeper Jiang was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, and thought for a while before replying:
"The two of them may have come from other towns, and they have not seen them in the city before."
A girl next to her immediately couldn't help it, and said disdainfully:
"It must be for the Spiritual Election in half a month!"
The other girl also nodded in agreement:
"Needless to say! Looking at her like that, it is estimated that she is a child of a family from a small town, thinking that she has a little family background and is swaggering everywhere! Look at her smugness! ”
"I've seen several waves of such people this month, and look at how they will roll back to their knots in half a month, the spiritual election will not choose who has a strong background!"
Under the angry scolding of the two, Ye Xiaoyi's face looked better, and he said reluctantly calmly:
"Well, don't worry about them today, as long as they appear at the spiritual election meeting, I will let them know that the people of the Qiao family are something they can't afford to provoke."
She shook her fist and took the lead to leave, and when she encountered this kind of thing, she was not in the mood to choose a dress.
Seeing this, the two people behind hurriedly trotted up and followed.
After the people were gone, the shopkeeper Jiang held his cheek with one hand, looked at the gold coin on the counter and said to himself:
"It doesn't look like an ordinary person comes out...... Half a month later, the Spiritual Selection will be interesting! ”
