Chapter 347: Eyes but No Beads
As she spoke, the woman pulled Fei Lan to ask for a while, completely forgetting about her parents beside her.
The tearful old man persuaded Lou Xiaojiao bitterly, "Jiao'er, pies won't fall from the sky, let's go back to the days of peace!" ”
Hearing this, Lou Xiaojiao looked disgusted, and reached out to shake off the hands of the Wu couple.
"What? Now there are cheap ones, and you don't want to buy them for me, do you? ”
It's not that they don't buy it, it's that their family really can't afford it!
The Knowles looked at Lou Xiaojiao with tears in their eyes, their faces full of helplessness.
Fei Lan smiled, she pulled Lou Xiaojiao towards her ready-to-wear shop, and the two arrived at the store in a short time.
Fei Lan directly guided Lou Xiaojiao to the sample clothes display area in the room.
The flowers inside were red and willow green, and Lou Xiaojiao was stunned.
She covered her mouth and widened her eyes in surprise, "Boss, your clothes here are so beautiful!" ”
Hearing this, Fei Lan smiled lightly, and there was a tsundere aura between his eyebrows.
"That's natural, my ready-to-wear shop is one of the most famous in the capital, and things will naturally not be bad."
Lou Xiaojiao admired it all the way, her face changed a lot, and after a while, she frowned slightly.
"Boss, you don't seem to have the cheongsam style I want here!"
After speaking, Lou Xiaojiao was a little disappointed, and when she was about to leave the store, Fei Lan stopped her.
"Xiaolou, right! Don't go yet, we just don't have a sample yet, but we have a sample! ”
"Patterns? Can you take a look? ”
"Of course you can!" As she spoke, Fei Lan pulled Lou Xiaojiao down in front of the counter, opened a pattern booklet and placed it in front of Lou Xiaojiao.
"These are all new products that we are about to launch, see if you have any favorites?"
Seeing this, Lou Xiaojiao couldn't help but get excited, she held the pattern booklet, her eyes didn't blink, and after a while, she stopped on a set of rose-red peony cheongsam.
"This style is good, and I like the color!"
"Xiaolou has a good eye, this one has the most people!" Fei Lan deliberately touted, "Xiaolou, your figure is so good, you will definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd when you wear it!" ”
"Really?" Lou Xiaojiao's eyes lit up, and the whole person began to flutter.
If she can wear this cheongsam to show off in front of her little sisters, what a beautiful scenery!
Lou Xiaojiao was fantasizing, Fei Lan pulled a ruler and walked over, "Xiaolou, let Sister Lan measure your size, and customize it according to your body shape!" ”
Hearing this, Lou Xiaojiao raised her hands very happily and let Fei Lan gesture on her.
"Sister Lan, there are a lot of styles and colors on your side, and the store will definitely be crowded in the future."
Fei Lan measured her size, and said proudly: "That's natural, I'm no worse than Shen Ji Restaurant, our embroidery girl and theirs are all from the same school!" ”
"Oh? Are you sure? ”
She had touched the cheongsam of Shen Kee's restaurant with her own hands.
That feel, I don't have to pick that style.
If she said that the teacher was out of the same school, then she would have picked up a big bargain.
Lou Xiaojiao thought about it, the corners of her mouth involuntarily hooked, and her face was snickering.
Fei Lan Yuguang caught a glimpse of Lou Xiaojiao's appearance, and smiled at Lou Xiaojiao, "Xiaolou, let's order this set of rose peonies?" ”
Striking iron is the opportunity for businessmen, how could she let it go.
Lou Xiaojiao nodded hurriedly, but her hand involuntarily touched the purse on her waist.
"Boss, I don't know how much silver you have for a cheongsam here?"
Seeing that when it came to the topic, Fei Lan had a straight face, and took out a small golden abacus and fiddled with it.
"Xiaolou, you and Sister Lan fell in love, so how about I give you half the price of Shen Ji Restaurant?"
Half?!
"That's fifty taels!" Lou Xiaojiao was surprised, and couldn't help but talk to herself.
Immediately, her face was embarrassed, and the hand holding the purse couldn't help but tighten, "Sister Lan, can it be cheaper?" ”
Hearing this, Fei Lan was a little displeased, she frowned, and led Lou Xiaojiao to the table next to her to sit down.
"Xiaolou! You know that Sister Lan opens the door to do business, even if she doesn't make money, she can't lose money! You have also seen this cheongsam, and it is definitely worth fifty taels. ”
Saying that, Fei Lan deliberately pushed the fragrant tea on the table towards Lou Xiaojiao, "Xiaolou, you think about it!" ”
Lou Xiaojiao's face became more and more embarrassed, and the whole person looked a little anxious and uneasy.
"Sister Lan, I don't have so much silver to pay you now, you see......"
Hearing this, Fei Lan smiled lightly and reached out to hold Lou Xiaojiao's hand, "Xiaolou, this is no problem, we still need time to make the customized clothes, you can pay some deposit first, and when the clothes are ready, it is not too late for you to pay the balance!" ”
When Lou Xiaojiao heard this, her spirit was shocked, and she hurriedly held the back of Fei Lan's hand with her backhand.
"Sister Lan, are you serious? How much money is the deposit? ”
"It's not much, it's only twenty taels." Fei Lanqiao smiled.
Twenty taels?!
Lou Xiaojiao suddenly wilted again, and her expression was slightly disappointed.
"Sister Lan, I'...... I only have five taels, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay this deposit! ”
She really likes that cheongsam, why is it so expensive!
Fei Lan caught a glimpse of Lou Xiaojiao's salivating eyes looking at the album, and her heart felt a burst of disdain. 3800
If you don't have money, you still want to learn from others to catch up with fashion?
The disdain and disgust in Fei Lan's eyes flashed, and he patted Lou Xiaojiao's shoulder very warmly.
"Xiaolou! It's not that Sister Lan said, a woman's life is very short, and youth is fleeting, you have to live a glamorous life to live in this world in vain! ”
Fei Lan sighed bitterly, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became more and more profound.
Seeing this, Lou Xiaojiao couldn't help but be a little moved, she reached out and touched the silver hairpin between her hair.
Sister Lan is right, she can't spend her life in the world in vain.
Immediately, she gritted her teeth and pulled out the hairpin in her hair, and stood up suddenly.
"Sister Lan, I have a way, you wait for me, I'll come when I go, you can do the cheongsam as usual."
After saying that, she picked up the hem of her skirt and ran towards the outside of the store, which made Fei Lan a little confused.
"Okay, Sister Lan will definitely keep it for you."
The little girl now is really simple, and she can do it in just a few words.
Fei Lan squinted her eyes, sipping the tea happily, and the small abacus at her fingertips was turned and taken off by her.
Shen Ji Restaurant, hum!
Here, after Lou Xiaojiao ran out of the ready-to-wear shop, she went straight to the nearest pawnshop.
As soon as she entered the door, she leaned over and shouted loudly, "Is the boss there?" ”
A bearded man in his forties stepped out of the pawnshop, and the man approached with his eyes open.
"Yo...... Little girl, what are you doing here? Sweating profusely. ”
I saw Lou Xiaojiao panting, fine sweat oozing from her forehead, meandering down her sideburns, and the pawnshop owner couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth.
Lou Xiaojiao looked arrogant, and stretched out her hand to spread the silver hairpin in front of the pawnshop owner.
"Boss, look at it, how much is this worth, I'm going to be it."
Seeing this, the pawnshop owner took the hairpin with a smile, raised it forty-five degrees high, and looked at the sun for a long time.
"Girl, are you sure you want to be this hairpin?"
Hearing this, Lou Xiaojiao looked impatient, and she waved one hand around her neck to dissipate heat.
"Yes, hurry, don't delay."
Seeing that Lou Xiaojiao was very anxious, a cunning light flashed in the pawnshop owner's eyes.
It seems that this girl does not know the true value of this hairpin.
Although this hairpin looks like a silver hairpin on the surface, it is not worth much, but in the hands of their connoisseurs, they can know that this thing is worth a lot of money at a casual glance.
The silver on the outside is plated, but the inside is the finest emerald!
The pawnshop shopkeeper squinted his eyes and looked Lou Xiaojiao up and down, and showed his two front teeth with a smile, deliberately embarrassed: "Girl, this hairpin is not worth much!" ”
"You just say, don't you accept it!" Lou Xiaojiao didn't bother too much, and sat down straightforwardly.
"Girl, I will naturally accept it."
"Then don't talk nonsense, how much!"
Sure enough, this little girl doesn't know the goods, it seems that he has good luck today!
The pawnshop owner smiled, he held the hairpin in one hand and stretched out three fingers in the other.
"One price, thirty taels!"
"Okay, deal!" Lou Xiaojiao looked excited, and then slapped the table, "Boss, give money!" ”
As she spoke, she reached out to the pawnshop owner to ask for money, and urged her again and again.
The pawnshop took away the essence of his eyes, hurriedly returned to the counter, wrote a pawn ticket and handed it to Lou Xiaojiao.
"Girl, you put a handprint on it, and we will clear the money."
Hearing this, Lou Xiaojiao couldn't wait to step forward and press her handprint, took thirty taels of silver and left happily.
Along the way, Xiaojiao was complacent, she checked the silver in her hand, and smiled from ear to ear.
I didn't expect that the broken hairpin her mother gave her would be worth thirty taels!
Seeing Lou Xiaojiao walking away, the pawnshop owner breathed a sigh of relief, touching the hairpin in his hand and couldn't put it down.
"This girl really doesn't know the goods, this hairpin can be worth a few hundred taels to say the least, and thirty taels will be collected, and today's luck is really good!"
The little guy in the pawnshop also chimed in, "Shopkeeper, can this broken hairpin really be worth hundreds of taels?" ”
Hearing this, the pawnshop shopkeeper stretched out his hand and knocked on the little guy's head, "Idiot, let you have a long experience today, look good!" ”
As he spoke, the pawnshop shopkeeper took out a dagger that he had with him and gently scraped it on the hairpin.
The silver paint on the hairpin instantly peeled off, revealing the pure emerald gemstone inside, shining with a faint green light.
"See what this is?"
"Ancestral ...... Emerald? The little guy was surprised, and a pair of eyes stared at the hairpin without blinking, "It's rare to see such a high-quality emerald!" It's still the shopkeeper's power! ”
As he spoke, the little guy gave a thumbs up to the pawnshop shopkeeper.
The pawnshop shopkeeper looked proud, put the hairpin to his mouth, sighed, and rubbed it on his clothes, smiling.
Lou Xiaojiao didn't know it, and came to Feilan's ready-to-wear shop with a happy face.
"Sister Lan, I'm back, I want that rose-red peony cheongsam," Lou Xiaojiao beckoned to Fei Lan with a proud face, "This is a deposit, you order!" ”
Fei Lan counted fifteen taels, plus the previous five taels were just twenty taels, Fei Lan smiled.
