Just when the painting boat began to flood and Xiao Ningyu's exclamation loomed, Luo Qingluan, who was standing under the corridor on the shore of the lake, smiled faintly.

"Miss, look, the boat is shaking!" Dai Yue exclaimed in surprise: "They really scuttled the ship!" ”

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Luo Qingluan stared, a touch of coldness flew in his eyes, and he turned around and left: "Since they like to take a boat, let's sit for a while and sit until the boat sinks." ”

Dai Yue hurriedly followed and asked, "But the prince is also on the boat?" ”

"I don't believe he can't swim!" Luo Qingluan said lightly.

When Dai Yue heard this, she immediately laughed: "It turns out that Miss has already arrived!" The prince and the prince of Dongwan Kingdom will definitely swim, but the princess ...... She probably won't. It's okay for the young lady to scare her, who made the princess so hateful that she didn't let the young lady get on the boat? ”

Hearing this girl's indignation for her, Luo Qingluan was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't worry about her, let's go out." ”

If it weren't for Nalan Ye sending someone to call her before, she would have left the house a long time ago, and she would have known that she would not come, and the province would have been affected by someone's mood.

Dai Yue suddenly rejoiced, she liked to go out with Miss the most, and every time there was something delicious.

Regardless of whether Nalan Ye was looking for her or not, Luo Qingluan took Daiyue out of the Chu Palace, and went directly to Jinxiuzhuang.

The street is very lively, Luo Qingluan is used to walking, which is also considered exercise. While walking, looking at the street scene and people's livelihood, it is also interesting. Half an hour later, Dai Yue was holding a string of sugar gourds to eat, and the master and servant had arrived not far from Jinxiuzhuang.

The high-rise buildings in front of the white walls and tiles, the bucket arches and cornices, are neat and new, and the three-storey high splendid village stands on the most prosperous Chang'an Street in the east of the capital. The wide and smooth road can easily accommodate six horses, and the other shops on both sides are also luxurious, and the entry and exit are basically well-dressed rich people. Occasionally, sedan chairs and carriages pass by, and the noblewomen and eunuchs who come here to shop are completely different from the backward and barren ones in the west of the city.

In front of the black and gold plaque of Jinxiuzhuang, Luo Qingluan glanced at it and recognized it as Nangong Yu's handwriting.

It is worthy of being the second prince, and the dragon and the phoenix written in calligraphy are quite imposing, and just three words show the pride and grade of Jinxiuzhuang.

Without going in immediately, Luo Qingluan stood at the open door and could see the situation in the store. In front of it is a large shelf of yellow rosewood, which is three zhang long, and there are silk gauze cloth from all over Xichu in different categories, brocade and embroidered satin, and it is a piece of colorful and pleasing to the eye.

There are two tables and chairs on the east and west sides of the lobby, and there are two pots of spring orchids in the corner, the leaves are straight and slender, and the flowers are dignified and unique, adding a bit of vitality and fragrance to the lobby. At this time, there was already a female guest sitting in the lobby, who seemed to have quite a background, although she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but there were four subordinates standing behind her.

With just one glance, Luo Qingluan could see that these four men dressed as subordinates were sturdy, their eyes were blazing, and they were definitely not ordinary subordinates. The girl is about fourteen or fifteen, her face is delicate, her skin is white and noble, she is leisurely holding a white porcelain teacup, but she does not drink, only smells the aroma of tea.

However, her ten fingers are a little eye-catching, setting off the white teacup, and the pink dancome painted on each fingernail makes her fingers more and more tender as spring onions. There were already several pieces of cloth and silk on the table in front of her, as well as four or five ready-to-wear clothes, but it seemed that she didn't like it, and her expression was indifferent.

After a while, Luo Qingluan had only stood for a moment, and another sharp-eyed guy had already seen her and immediately greeted her: "Hello this young lady, we have just arrived in Jinxiuzhuang this month with a batch of new goods, you can just take a look at it." ”

With a faint bow, Luo Qingluan retracted his gaze and walked in after the guy. As soon as she arrived in the lobby, she heard another woman standing in front of the shelves say, "You Jinxiuzhuang just order such things?" Our lady has been picking for a long time, and she hasn't taken a fancy to it, is there anything else? ”

The woman's voice was not shy about it, with a hint of arrogance, but looking like she was dressed as a maid, the girl next to her should be her master.

"This girl, you've seen all of our goods." The shopkeeper was a little pale and not loud.

The maid seemed to be a little surprised, raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Didn't you say that your Jinxiuzhuang is the largest cloth and clothing store in the capital, and our young lady has only seen how much, but it is gone?" It's really good that you can't even pick out a piece of clothing or a piece of cloth that satisfies our lady, it's simply not worthy of the name! ”

"Girl, the goods of our Jinxiuzhuang are already the most complete in the whole of Xichu, you can't say that." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, his attitude was very respectful, he glanced at the young girl sitting in the north position, and smiled at the maid in front of him: "If we can't even find something here that satisfies the young lady, then even if you go to other places, you won't be able to buy it." ”

The maid smiled contemptuously and raised her voice: "You Jinxiuzhuang are so big! Do you really think it's good to be here? It's just a small shop in the West Chu Kingdom, and it's really unashamed to speak, and I've never seen the world! What is the identity of our young lady? I can come to you to see you to save face, if you ......"

"Okay Evian, what do you want to tell him?" Suddenly, the young girl who had been sitting next to her drinking tea spoke up and interrupted her, "Let's just take a look at it casually when we have nothing to do, don't be too particular, forget it if you don't have it." ”

"Yes, miss." The maid named Evian was a little unwilling to respond, and pouted at the shopkeeper, and finally returned to the master.

Luo Qingluan couldn't help but smile dumbly, it seems that this girl is very particular, she can't even look at the things of Jinxiuzhuang, and she probably has a very high vision.

At this moment, the girl stood up and said lightly to the maid: "Evian, I told you before I went out, outside is not as good as at home, and when you come out, you have to follow the local customs, understand?" Hearing this, Luo Qingluan only felt that this girl was quite reasonable and generous, and who knew that the next moment he heard her sneer: "However, these things are really not good, just look at it, if you really wear it, I'm afraid it's too rough." Forget it, let's go. ”

After speaking, the girl had already walked towards the store with a blank face, not caring about the shopkeeper's embarrassed and speechless face. The maid Evian glanced at her with contempt when she left, stood at the door and turned her head again, her eyes full of disdain and contempt, as if it was a great honor for them to be able to come in and see, and the kind of arrogance that was deep to the bone was even more obvious than that girl.

When the group finally left, the shopkeeper came back to his senses, and when he saw that Luo Qingluan was still in the store, he hurriedly explained: "This young lady, don't misunderstand!" Our Jinxiuzhuang is a time-honored brand in the capital, and today it is said that it is not worthy of its fame, but it is really wronged! Who doesn't know the goods in our store, which even the Guogong Mansion and the Hou Mansion Miss and Mrs. Hou Mansion like, and when they say this, it's ...... Alas......"

"It's okay, shopkeeper, I know that Jinxiuzhuang is good, and I won't misunderstand because of someone else's words." Luo Qingluan smiled slightly.

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, Miss is the one who understands." That young lady looks down on our splendid village, even if she is so picky, it is even more difficult to serve than the lady in the palace, and we don't want to do her business. ”

As soon as the words came out, he immediately reacted, hurriedly covered his mouth, and looked at Luo Qingluan with a sneer. Although the latter heard it, she thought the same thing.

Listening to the girl's tone and the girl's words, she also said the word Xichu, and it is estimated that she is not from Xichu. Otherwise, they would never have used such words in their words, and they also said that they were away from home, could it be from other countries?

Thinking that because of the parliaments of the four countries, there have been more and more people from other countries in Western Chu in the past few days, and some merchants from Dongwan, Southern Wei, and North Vietnam have also arrived, resulting in a lot of fresh faces in the capital. She didn't know the girl, but she thought so.

Seeing that Luo Qingluan didn't seem to mind, the shopkeeper hurriedly changed the topic and said with a smile: "Miss, please, do you want to see cloth or ready-to-wear?" ”

"Oh, I'm not here to buy something." Retracting his mind, Luo Qingluan remembered his purpose and said, "Are you in charge of Ming?" ”

"Miss has something to do with Mr. Ming?" The shopkeeper asked, suddenly lost his words, and looked at Luo Qingluan cautiously: "Manager Ming is upstairs, but he usually doesn't see guests, can Miss tell Manager Ming before?" If you need anything else, just say it to the villain. ”

"It was Gongzi Yu who asked me to come, and you told Mr. Ming that my surname is Luo."

As soon as he heard Luo Qingluan mention the word 'Yu Gongzi', the shopkeeper looked upright, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, then Miss wait a minute, I'll go and tell Manager Ming." After speaking, he hurriedly went upstairs, but after only a moment, a middle-aged man with a long beard and a white face wearing a foreign suit walked down, and as soon as he saw Luo Qingluan, he bowed his hand and saluted, and his pace was fast.

"The contemptible people don't know that the princess is coming, and they are disappointed, and they ask the princess to forgive their sins." Manager Ming hurriedly walked up to Luo Qingluan with a respectful expression.

After hearing the shopkeeper's communication, he immediately remembered what the second prince Nangong Yu had said to him, and almost jumped up without being surprised. Princess Chu actually came in person and was still waiting for him downstairs? I don't know if the King of Chu is here, if he makes the princess of Chu angry because of his negligence, he will not be able to cut off ten heads!

I'm afraid that Nangong Yu told Manager Ming about his identity, Luo Qingluan smiled faintly: "It's okay, Manager Ming, I came to you today for the sake of ready-to-wear styles, go upstairs and talk about it." ”

Manager Ming made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully: "Yes, princess, please sit upstairs!" ”

When Luo Qingluan and Manager Ming both went upstairs, the shopkeeper and the guys in the lobby reacted.

That girl turned out to be a princess? Even the head manager of Ming is so respectful, who else can he be besides the princess of Chu?

Thinking of this, the two of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat about what had just happened. Fortunately, although they didn't recognize it, they fortunately didn't complain too much in front of Princess Chu, otherwise it would be troublesome if she was not satisfied.
