Taking down the cloth, Gu Anning held the material with one hand and opened the oil paper wrapped on it with the other.

As soon as the oil paper was opened, Gu Anning could see the appearance of this material clearly.

This black cloth is smooth and soft to the touch, and it is cold and cold on the skin, and if it is in summer, it will be very comfortable.

And on the fabric, gray-black light lines are neatly distributed on it.

These light lines outline a beautiful totem, and if you look closely, you will be attracted by it.

Holding this cloth in her hand, Gu Anning picked out some fine silk threads of various colors.

After picking out the silk thread, she thought about it, and then called the young man and said, "Do you have gold and silver threads here?"

When the young man who was called heard this, he smiled and said, "Some girls, I'll get it to you."

After saying this, the young man hurriedly ran to the side shelf, and then opened a cabinet with a key, and then took out several rolls of gold and silver thread from it.

These threads are made of gold and silver, which are very valuable, so the shopkeeper will lock it up, for fear that someone will fish in the water and take these gold and silver threads away.

Re-locking the cabinet, the young man came over with the silk thread and said, "Girl, you choose." With that, he placed a large handful of extremely valuable silk threads in his hand on the cabinet.

Gu Anning looked at these silk threads, and then selected the thinnest and softest seven silk threads.

Four of them are silver and three are gold. They were all heavy, and when rolled up they were the size of their fists.

These bundles are enough for my own use, and there is still a surplus.

"That's all, settle the bill."

Gu Anning picked out the things and asked the young man in front of him to settle the bill for himself.

The young man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll calculate it for you now."

After saying that, the young man began to count the things she had purchased.

When he saw the black material during the count, he suddenly remembered what the shopkeeper said. The shopkeeper said that the material of that batch of cloth is very expensive, so you should be careful.

The shopkeeper only said this, but did not say the price, so he could only humbly say to the customer in front of him: "Girl, I'm sorry, I'm going to ask the boss about this cloth."

Gu Anning nodded and said, "Okay."

The young man took the lightly veined cloth and left, and soon he came behind a middle-aged man.

"Boss, boss."

The middle-aged man who was introducing the fabric to the daughter of a rich family turned around when he heard the workers behind him shouting to him.

"What's the matter? Say, I'm busy. ”

When the young man heard this, he then handed over the black cloth he was holding in his hand and said, "Boss, how much is this cloth?"

"Didn't you tell you the price of the fabric in the store many times? Why don't you remember? You ..............."

Seeing that the workers who had worked with him for more than three years still asked him about the price of the cloth, he was angry and reprimanded.

However, when he saw the piece of cloth he was holding in his hand, the words that he wanted to squirt out behind him were immediately choked back.

Looking at the piece of cloth he was holding in his hand, the boss's face showed joy, "Someone has taken a fancy to this piece of cloth?" ”

"Yes, boss, it's the young lady." As he spoke, the young man gestured to the female customer who was teasing the child in the arms of the man next to him not far away.

The boss followed his line of sight and saw a young lady who was well-dressed and extremely beautiful.

Seeing this, he took the cloth from the young man's hand and said, "You come to greet this young lady."

"Yes, boss."

The boss holding the cloth waited for him to finish speaking, and then walked towards Gu Anning, the price of this batch of cloth in his hand was not cheap, and it was very precious, so it was naturally up to him to go out himself.

When Gu Anning saw the middle-aged man who was walking towards her with the black cloth in her hand just now, she knew that this middle-aged man was the owner of this shop.

"Girl, do you want to buy this Cangyun brocade?" The boss holding the cloth came to Gu Anning and asked.

"Well, please settle the account for me." Gu Anning nodded and agreed, and asked him to settle the account for himself.

The boss was happy, "Okay, girl, I'll ask you for the settlement." ”

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged boss began to liquidate what she had bought.

When the calculation was finished, the boss reported a number to her, "Girl, there are a total of six hundred and eighty-three taels and two hundred and forty-two cents here, I will erase the change for you, and you can give six hundred and eighty-three taels of silver." ”

So expensive?

After Gu Anning heard the number, her brows frowned slightly.

The boss may have seen her doubts, and then explained with a smile: "Girl, these things you bought are the most expensive pieces of fabric. This cloth is called Cangyun Brocade, which is a new handiwork of the master of the Zhou Dynasty in the capital.

You see, the light lines on it are delicate and atmospheric, which has taken great time and painstaking research by Master Zhou, and this cloth is the first batch of cloth with ornaments that Master Zhou has developed, which is precious. ”

From his words, Gu Anning got a message, that is, there are no patterns on the cloth in this dynasty, just solid color cloth, and whatever pattern you want, you can only embroider it.

No wonder, no wonder this cloth is so expensive.

"I see, okay, then please help me wrap up all these things, boss."

The boss heard her say to buy it, and then happily took what she bought to get it and wrap it up.

Gu Anning also took out several silver tickets of one hundred taels from the space with the help of her sleeves.

When the shopkeeper handed the wrapped things to herself, she handed over the seven hundred taels of silver tickets in her hand.

The boss happily took the silver ticket, and then ran to the counter table to give her change.

"Boss, I heard that you have a Cangyun brocade here, bring it, I bought it."

A woman dressed in silk and satin and adorned with precious jewels walked in, and the woman looked very gentle with beautiful makeup on her face.

However, the words that came out of her voice destroyed this gentle feeling and exposed her true nature.

"Miss Zhang, I'm really sorry, Cangyun Jin has already been sold." The boss, who was looking for change for the girl, raised his head and smiled when he heard this.

When the woman known as Miss Zhang heard this, she was immediately unhappy, "What, you actually sold it to someone else?" ”

The boss handed the change he found to Gu Anning, his face remained unchanged, and said, "Miss Zhang, you didn't let me reserve Cangyun Jin, the guest wanted to buy it, so I naturally sold it."

"Sold to whom? I sell it for twice the price. Miss Zhang wanted to buy this piece of cloth for her sweetheart, but she didn't expect to be bought first.
