Chapter 97 Discrimination
After breakfast, I took Yehe and Shishi out, afraid that the concubine would be lonely in the mansion alone, and called a few well-behaved feathered fox girls to accompany her, and the three of us came to the lively bazaar and began to choose New Year's goods.
"Yehe, did you think about the 'rules' of our General's Mansion last night?"
In the bustling crowd, hearing my question, Yehe said with some uncertainty: "I think it's thought about it, but the rules of the General's Mansion are really good for me to give a demon clan?"
I waved my hand, looking indifferent: "You don't have to worry about anything else, anyway, it's something I gave you, let him come to me if anyone objects." ”
"Well...... if it's a rule, why don't we cook for the people of the capital. ”
"Isn't it similar to soup kitchen?" I touched my chin and thought, "Don't think about it, so be it." ”
Shishi sighed on the side, thinking that it would be better to think about it again, soup soup was a good deed in the famine era, and now that the country is rich and the people are strong, where is there a mansion to do this kind of thing.
I looked left and right and asked, "Shishi, what are we going to do today?"
The poem replied fluently: "First go to the cloth shop to customize the materials and lanterns to decorate the mansion, then go to the sugar store to buy sweets for guests, and finally go to the vegetable market to buy rice and three days' worth of vegetable meat." ”
I said, "It looks like you're going to have a busy day today." ”
"These are things that are to be done in the morning. ”
"Huh?" I was a little dumbfounded, "how can so many things be done in one morning?"
Shishi glared at me, and said angrily: "General, do you think it is so easy for us to be maids? If we can't finish it, we will finish it, and in the afternoon, we will arrange for others to do laundry, observe the cleaning of the mansion, allocate manpower from all over the place, and solve some disputes...... In short, there is work to be done every day. ”
"Oh, it turns out that you are so capable, and you usually really bother you more, haha, I'm just a big old man, I don't know anything, it's great to have you attentive girls here. ”
Faced with this kind of blame-throwing praise, Shishi rolled her eyes and reluctantly accepted it.
"Actually, these things are not too many compared to other mansions, the people of Feather Fox are very capable, sometimes I don't need to work too hard, it is enough to have a night with one person. ”
Yehe hurriedly said: "No, Sister Shishi took care of all the things in the mansion by herself, and my sister often made mistakes that my sister found and corrected, and now I am only in the process of learning." ”
Seeing that the two were about to start complimenting each other, I reminded: "Hurry up and start purchasing, things are in such a hurry, and the time may not be enough." ”
"Well, the general will come with us. ”
Following the poems and nights, I came to a cloth shop, the two lanterns at the door are particularly large, the left and right couplets are also very magnificent, at a glance, the fabrics are bright and transparent, the texture is soft and comfortable, and they are really the best products.
I have the impression of this cloth shop, when I first came to the capital, Changting Luoxin took me here, saying that it is the first cloth shop in the capital, although the price is expensive, but the quality is high, and it is deeply loved by dignitaries and nobles.
I suddenly remembered something, leaned over Shishi's ear and said, "The emperor just gave me 100,000 pieces of silk, don't we have to buy cloth?" ”
Shishi squinted at me and said, "General, silk is used to make clothes to wear, and we are now going to buy coarse cloth for decoration, and these two fabrics are completely different." ”
Unconsciously I was despised again, I was a little embarrassed, I usually didn't pay attention to these things, but I made others laugh.
"Hey, isn't this a big celebrity in the General's Mansion? Why do you have time to come to my small shop today, Miss Shishi is really lucky, there is a new horse in the warehouse, and I haven't had time to put it out yet, hurry up and come in and pick, for the sake of General Junying, I can give Miss Shishi a nine-percent discount!"
At this time, a woman with heavy makeup pinched a pink handkerchief and walked out of the counter to greet Shishi, looking extremely enthusiastic, and Shishi also changed into a smile with a little surprise expression, and was polite to the woman.
"How can the shopkeeper's shop be a small shop, everyone in the capital knows everyone, thanks to your care on weekdays, I want to buy some cloth for the New Year, and the warehouse also wants to see, I don't know if the matchmaker is convenient?"
"Miss Shishi's mouth is still so sweet, we open the door to do business, where is it inconvenient. The handsome little guy next to him is a little familiar, it's ......"
The matchmaker's eyes kept on me, and she asked me about my identity with some certainty and uncertainty.
Shishi's chin was raised slightly, and she said with a little pride in her words: "This is General Junying, let's take a look at your family's fabric today and see if you can get a discount?"
The matchmaker's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and the original enthusiasm doubled today, but the fire in her eyes barely burned, and she grabbed my sleeve tightly, which scared my boss.
"Fight, General Junying is here to buy things in person, and my matchmaker naturally has to be kind, all the fabrics you bought today will be sold at a 50% discount! Lili! Qiang'er! General Junying is here, why don't you hurry downstairs to meet you?"
I couldn't resist being forcibly pulled into the store, smiling and enjoying the other party's hot eyes, Shishi was slightly stunned behind her, and then stomped her feet, biting her lip a little unwillingly.
On weekdays, I bargained with the old fox of the matchmaker for a long time, my tongue was dry, my mouth was worn out, and I could only cut it to eight and a half folds at most, the general was good, and I just went there to stand there, and people cried and shouted to give five folds, this attitude really can't be compared, it's really unreasonable!
Shishi pouted and followed me indignantly, I dealt with the matchmaker's shopkeeper, did enough work on the surface, and avoided the hands that always touched me without leaving a trace, and scolded in my heart, I could only pray that Shishi, the little girl, would pick up the cloth and pick it quickly.
In the middle of the night, the purchase of fabrics finally reached the final stage, and when the matchmaker reluctantly began to negotiate the price with Shishi, I slipped out of the door to breathe, and saw the night joint at the door leaning against the wall and kicking boringly, and I was a little surprised.
I asked, "Why don't you go in and have a look at the door alone?" ”
Yehe saw me come out, and hurriedly stood up straight, this little feather fox who had to bite anyone when they met, and now he has gradually adapted to the life of the human race, but he still can't let go of it in front of me, facing my eyes dodging, a pair of hands hidden in front of the abdomen and twisting, delicate and lovely.
"Because some of the bosses ...... doesn't like me, so I can only be purchased by Sister Shishi, I can't go in, it will make the business yellow. ”
"How can anyone not like you? ”
"What's the matter, don't make fun of me......" Facing my smile, Yehe was a little shy, and said: "Because I am a demon clan, and the demon clan is known for its fierceness and cruelty, they are afraid of me." ”
I shook my head and smiled: "A group of mediocre people, there are bad people, there are good demons, and you can't see good and evil clearly?"
Seeing that I was a little angry, Yehe hurriedly said, "Not everyone doesn't sell things to me, and there are some who are willing to sell to me." ”
I looked at her and said slowly: "If you are wronged, speak up, and I will help you decide." ”
When Yehe heard this, his heart felt like a warm current, and he was extremely moved. Sure enough, the general is still the same as at that time, so gentle and powerful, often giving people a sense of trust and security.
As she was talking, Shishi had already negotiated the price with the matchmaker in the store, wrote down the style and length of the fabric to be ordered, walked out satisfied, saw us talking, and asked curiously: "What are you talking about." ”
I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, is it right to go to the sugar shop next?"
"Well, has the general ever thought about how many people in the capital will come to our mansion, and how much New Year's candy will be distributed to his subordinates?"
I thought about it, I have only been in the capital for half a year, and it stands to reason that there should be no acquaintance except for the possibility of the two families who are dyed by the heart and blood of the long court, but I am in the imperial court, and the official power is thriving at the moment, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will take this opportunity to come to me to get acquainted with feelings......; I don't really know if most of them like sugar or not.
Seeing that I looked like I had a headache in my head, Shishi sighed, although this general is usually smart, he really doesn't know much about family affairs, after all, no one is perfect.
"General, don't think about it, just leave it to me and Yehe, you just need to stand aside and help me bargain. ”
"Oh oh!" I nodded busily, it would be best if I could.
Shishi led the way, and Yehe followed me.
She led the way while pointing to where the newly opened shop was, where there was a shop with delicious pastries, and from time to time interspersed with some fair prices and bargaining skills, I secretly remembered in my mind, because I often came out to find something delicious, and I would bring it back to please the concubines.
Because there is only less than a month left before the Chinese New Year, everyone chooses to come out at this time to buy New Year's goods, there is a lot of traffic everywhere, crowds of people, sometimes I see some people squeezing over, I will gently pull away with my hands, don't let them bump into the night and poetry. Some people with bad intentions were blocked by me, and they glared at me fiercely, and I let go of my murderous aura slightly, and suddenly the other party was frightened and fled.
Shishi covered her mouth and snickered, humming a little song leisurely, fortunately, she brought the general, and she still moved forward like a fish in water in the crowd, and her pace was not blocked at all.
I finally came to a street, the crowd was less than half, I breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to put down the hand I was holding, but suddenly, I reached behind the night fit like lightning, and pinched two flying stones with a "click" twice.
Shishi and Yehe were both a little frightened by my movements, and after taking a closer look, they realized that I had blocked a sneak attack.
My face was a little ugly, these two stones flew towards the back of Yehe's head, and she had no way to defend herself against such a sneak attack without losing her demon tendons. Although she can carry the tripod, it is easy to block the open gun and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and she will not die, let alone have to shed some blood.
"Who?"
I heard two annoyed "tsks" from the shadows of the alley not far away, and then the footsteps faded into weakness, and I sneered: "Run?
