The next day, after breakfast, the brother and sister went out into the street.

The streets were crowded with people, and among the bustling crowd were foreigners in Hufu, and passers-by saw them as sparsely as their neighbors.

Roadside vendors are noisy and noisy, shops on both sides of the street are lined up, goods are piled up, and various signboards in front of the door are hung in the air.

At first glance, it is not bustling and lively.

On the four main streets of the east, west, north and south that extend to the distance, there are the famous Qinglou restaurants in Ning'an City, among which the Yunxiang Restaurant on the South Street is the most distinctive one.

The owner's surname is Guo, basically doesn't care about things, it is her wife who is in charge, people call her a rich shopkeeper, less than forty years old, shrewd and capable.

On this south street, almost the entire street is her family's shop.

Her Yunxiang Restaurant is different from others, the people in the store are women, wearing a one-color narrow-sleeved skirt, covering a white veil on their faces, only revealing a pair of eyes, the guests who come can not see their faces beautifully and ugly, and the rich shopkeeper also avoids the suspicion of soliciting customers with Israel.

The brother and sister passed by the door, but they only looked and did not go in, and they were not hungry.

As everyone knows, they can't afford this restaurant.

Came to a clothing shop called Zhong Xiufang, which was full of dazzling silk brocades.

When the guy in the store saw the customer, he greeted him and said, "Childe, miss, what kind of clothes do you want to choose?" ”

"Do you have ready-to-wear here?" Yi Jiaren asked.

When she went back to buy clothes, she had to ask someone to make them, and she had to wait a few days, and she wanted to change out of the coarse cloth dress on her body now. Just now, I walked all the way and carefully observed the clothes of the girls on the street, they were all gorgeous, and I was really shabby compared to them.

"Ready-to-wear has it, but I don't know if it fits the size of the two."

The man beckoned them to sit and pulled a I-shaped carved coat rack in front of them, with men's clothes in stone blue, crimson, moon white, and royal blue hanging in front, and red, purple, yellow, and green women's clothes hanging in the back, all of which were fashionable colors and styles at the moment.

Yi Jiaren got up and picked out a lilac on his body, the clothes were smooth to the touch, the colors were bright, and then he looked at the embroidery, I don't know how many times better than Cuiping in the village.

"Brother, is this good-looking?"

"You look good, you look good in anything." Yi Linfeng said and picked one to wear on his body.

"Brother, don't wear crimson, like a red-faced Guan Gong."

Yi Linfeng was quite satisfied with this, but when he heard her say that, he took it off: "You wear that purple dress, you don't look like a purple king." ”

"Eh, you just said it looks good?" Yi Jiaren pouted, took off the purple one, and put on a red one on her body, "What about this one?" ”

"Red peppers." Yi Linfeng glanced at her, and changed into a moon-white robe.

"Hmph, you're like a white radish."

The brother and sister laughed and tried on the clothes in the store, and they liked each one and wanted to buy both.

Seeing that they tried for a long time and still didn't buy it, the shopkeeper's face had already grown, and he called the guy over and muttered a few words.

"Childe, Miss, how many sets do you think you want to buy?" The guy came back and asked.

The two of them each picked three sets and handed them to the guy: "Just these few pieces, you change them according to our size, and we will take them now." ”

The guy was a little embarrassed: "Change it now, I guess it's too late, or you two tell me where the house is, and I'll send it to you if it's changed." ”

"And how long will it take you to change it?"

Yi Jiaren waited for the guy to reply, but the shopkeeper beckoned the guy over again: "Let them give the silver first, or if they change it, they can't afford it, and then sell it to whom?" Also, don't grind with them, don't buy them and tell them to leave, don't you see that there are other customers in the store to greet you? ”

This Zhongxiufang is also the property of a wealthy shopkeeper, and the silk and satin garments in it can only be worn by the nobles of the kings and grandsons in Ning'an City. If it weren't for the fact that the proprietor often said that you should not judge people by their appearance when doing business, the shopkeeper would not let the guys greet them.

The Yi brothers and sisters were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and they didn't have a decent head and face jewelry on their bodies, so they didn't look like the owners who could afford the clothes in their store.

The guy was an honest man, and after listening to the shopkeeper's words, he ran over and rubbed his hands, and smiled more attentively: "Two guest officers, we can't sell our changed clothes anymore, so..."

He said it so directly, who couldn't hear it, Yi Jiaren took out ten taels of silver and gave it to him: "Take it and change it." ”

The guy rubbed his hands and didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Ten taels of silver is only enough to buy one, which one do you think you buy?" ”

"Sss Yi Linfeng sighed lightly.

Before coming to Ning'an, Yi Ming and the Lin family told him that the prices in Ning'an City were high, but they didn't expect it to be so high.

Yi Jiaren's face froze for a while, and she straightened up: "I... We buy so much, don't you give it cheaper? ”

The guy was a little embarrassed: "This is already the cheapest." ”

Yi Linfeng pulled the beauty of Layi: "Forget it, beauty, you pick one you like, I don't want it." ”

Yesterday, because of his shabby clothes, he was laughed at by the Lin family. This morning, the Lin family knew that they had come out to buy a costume, and they were going back to wear old clothes, and they were going to be teased by the Lin family. It doesn't matter if you are blinded, your sister can't be wronged.

Yi Jiaren knew that he felt sorry for himself, but he was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old dashing boy, and his face was very tight.

She pulled Yi Linfeng aside: "Brother, how much silver do you still have on you?" ”

"I spent some on the road before, but now I only have fifty taels left, and even if I give him it, it's not enough to buy six sets."

"Why don't we all buy a set first, and then buy some scraps of fabric, and we'll take it back and find someone to make it."

"Well, okay." Yi Linfeng agreed in his mouth, but he was a little reluctant in his heart, and after buying two sets of clothes, there were only thirty taels left, how would he live in the future.

Twenty taels of silver were given, and the brother and sister each picked a set of their favorites, and the man invited them to sit down for a while, and took the clothes and went to the back to change them.

Taking advantage of the time to wait, Yi Jiaren took out two taels of silver and put it on the counter: "Shopkeeper, let's buy some more materials and bring them back to find someone to make them." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the silver and sneered: "This girl, your silver is only enough to buy half a horse of arrowroot, and it may be cheaper to go out to the back street." ”

Just now the two of them tried on clothes, and the shopkeeper shouted to the guy next to him to greet other guests, ignoring them, and now he was sneering.

Yi Jiaren wanted to tease him.

"Who wants to buy kudzu cloth in this weather now, I can't afford the expensive ready-to-wear clothes in your store, but I can still afford ordinary cold clothes." Saying that, she asked Yi Linfeng for the remaining thirty taels.

"Beauty, this is..."Yi Linfeng didn't know what she was going to do with the money.

Yi Jiaren glanced at him and told him not to speak, turned around and put the silver on the counter: "Shopkeeper, show me the banbu at your feet." ”

The rest of the guys are busy, and the shopkeeper has a hundred who don't want to move it himself.

He was a little fat, and the banbu was very heavy, so he finally moved up, but Yi Jiaren only glanced at it, and then pointed to a horse on the shelf and said, "Show me that too." ”

There was no way, the shopkeeper set up a stool and moved the horse down, Yi Jiaren shook his head.

moved up and down more than a dozen horses in a row, and the shopkeeper was so tired that he was sweating.

He still looked down on Yi Jiaren's thirty taels of silver, just because there were a pair of eyes staring, and those eyes were not angry or happy, but they made people feel very uncomfortable.
