Chapter 11 Planning
Just when the clothing store was about to close for proofing, Xu Mu and Sleta caught up with the back, and after discussing with the boss for a while, they reopened the store door.
The boss can't afford to close willfully, and the feeling of a silver coin hitting his face is not too comfortable for him! Since the accident of the Marquis of Aiqi, the business of the entire fiefdom town has deteriorated a lot, and their shop has not opened for a long time.
When he came to the counter and learned that Xu Mu was going to order a set of clothes for his sister Sleta, the boss looked at Sleta for a long time, and then after hearing Xu Mu's request for clothes, the boss's mouth couldn't help but fall.
Because Xu Mu's request is very simple, just two words - noble.
The boss didn't feel embarrassed, he had also made clothes for the Marquis of Aiqi's family before, but this kind of clothes were usually clothes that only nobles or some powerful people would choose to make.
These are not the main problems, the most important question for the boss is whether Xu Mu can afford to pay in the end.
And Xu Mu was also unceremonious, taking out 30 silver coins from his money bag and slamming them on the table.
"I came two days later to pick up the clothes. ”
The boss looked at the silver coins on the table, and his mouth was about to drool, but when he heard Xu Mu's request, he immediately panicked: "Sir, this... Isn't two days too tight? Five days, don't you think it's possible?"
Xu Mu snorted: "No, two days." ”
The boss was very embarrassed: "Sir, this is not making clothes worn by civilians, this is making clothes of aristocratic grade! It is fine work, I am afraid that there will be quality problems in five days..."
"You can't, I can find someone else. Xu Mu's eyes rolled, "You can't be the only one in the town." ”
"Eh, don't...!" As soon as the boss heard that Xu Mu was leaving, he hurriedly persuaded him to go back, knowing how to push away this business when it came: "Sir, the main thing is that two days are too tight!
"Two days. ”
The tangled facial features of the boss's face are about to come together: "This..."
Xu Mu didn't talk nonsense, and took out 5 silver coins from his money bag and put them on the table: "Okay, isn't it okay?"
"Okay, okay!"
The boss's eyes were red, and he immediately took all the money on the table into his arms, no matter what, it's a big deal to make clothes without sleeping for the past two days!
After helping Sleta measure the size of the clothes, Xu Mu and the two went out of the clothing store.
Sleta was excited in her heart, but she was a little worried and pulled Xu Mu's big hand: "Brother... Do you really want to buy such expensive clothes for Sleta?35 silver coins can do a lot of things, right?"
Xu Mu touched Sleta's head, smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, you have a lot of use for wearing this clothes." And Sleta doesn't want to be a nobleman, then a nobleman must have a set of good-looking clothes, just as my brother prepared them for you in advance, as for the nobles, we will talk about it later. ”
Sleta knew why Xu Mu promised her so much, and Ai Lu told her that Xu Mu wanted to learn magic, and the first condition for learning magic was to become a nobleman.
It stands to reason that Sleta shouldn't believe Xu Mu, after all, where is it so easy to become a nobleman, if you really say it, there are nobles everywhere, and she won't be so yearning for becoming a nobleman, because nobles symbolize power and spiritual beliefs.
But after staying with Xu Mu for a long time, Sleta believed that Xu Mu could succeed, because when Xu Mu talked about magic, the firmness and confidence in her eyes were real, although she didn't know what Xu Mu could do to become a nobleman, but she was originally a child who had nothing, what could she lose except her own life? It is better to unswervingly believe that Xu Mu is true.
"Brother, what are we going to do now?
"No, we need to go to the blacksmith shop. ”
The blacksmith shop did not close so quickly compared to the clothes shop, and when the two arrived at the blacksmith shop, the stove was still burning, and the blacksmith was banging on the iron bare-chested, while the blacksmith apprentice was cleaning up the materials.
When Sleta saw that the master was shirtless, she was so ashamed that she quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
Seeing this, Xu Mu felt that he had made a mistake, but girls in this world can't follow the man's body.
Seeing that the blacksmith was still working very seriously, Xu Mu coughed.
The master stopped what he was doing, and when he saw a little girl covering her eyes, he grinned and threw the man in his hand to the apprentice, and found the house to get dressed before coming out.
"Sir, do you want to buy a finished product or a made-to-order product? If the finished product is finished, our sickles and hoes are very good! If it is more, I can give you a cheaper. ”
Xu Mu broke off Sleta's hand, and said with the blacksmith with a light smile: "It's custom-made, but it's fine work, I don't know if you can do it, of course the price is easy to say." ”
The master's eyes lit up: "Oh, I don't know what direction the gentleman is talking about? Is it a decorative sword?"
"No, it's like a jade craftsman's job, but not exactly. Xu Mu pointed to the room, "Let's go in and talk." ”
The three of them entered the back room of the blacksmith shop, and the master quickly found a rag to wipe the chair clean.
Xu Mu also unceremoniously pulled Sreta to sit down.
"What does the gentleman want from me, a craftsman?"
Xu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly: "I need you to help me make a noble coat of arms." ”
"Ahh
"It is the coat of arms of the local Count of Ollie in town. ”
"This..." The master's eyes couldn't help but widen, he shook his head left and right to see that the apprentice was not at the door, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what are you doing here?" ”
"What, can't you do it?"
"Not really... It's just..."
Xu Mu didn't twist it, and took out 20 silver coins from the money bag and put them on the table, and the ironsmith's eyes widened.
"Don't worry, only the three of us know about it. ”
"Can you..."The master nodded hurriedly, and then quickly said after thinking of something: "But it may take a little longer, I have to see what the coat of arms of Count Ollie is, after all..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Mu interrupted, and he asked the boss for pens and drawings.
Under the surprised eyes of Sleta and the blacksmith, Xu Mu actually drew the heraldic appearance of Count Ollie, and the painting was extremely fine, down to the corners and corners, as if Count Ollie's coat of arms was designed by Xu Mu himself.
Xu Mu pushed the drawn drawings in front of the blacksmith: "Can I take it in two days?"
"Yes!"
...
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Xu Mu took Sleta's hand and went back to the hotel.
On the way, Sleta couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked: "Brother, you can even paint, and you can paint so beautifully! I have never seen that kind of painting technique and painting method, my brother should not be the royal painter of some nobleman before!"
When Xu Mu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's nothing, this thing can be painted casually." ”
Before coming to this world, Xu Mu was bored from work, so he participated in a 7-day sketching crash course, although he only went for 5 days, but he also learned something, although the craft was not at all in the original world.
However, this technique is unique in this world, and it startles the blacksmith and Sretta.
"Brother is really powerful..."Sleta squeezed Xu Mu's big hand, "Today we are on the street, and my brother has memorized the count's noble coat of arms in just a few glances. ”
"I happened to be interested at that time, so I took a few more looks. ”
It's not that Xu Mu is so powerful, it's that the aristocratic coat of arms in this world belongs to the cutting contrasting side, and he basically remembers half of the face, and the other side is the same, so there is no difficulty.
After the two returned to the hotel, Xu Mu told Sleta about the plan in his mind.
It turned out that Xu Mu customized the clothes and made the coat of arms in order to let Sleta pretend to be a member of Count Ollie's family.
This is mainly because Sleta's idea of forging official documents inspired Xu Mu, since he has never seen what an official document looks like, then he will not forge it, anyway, he who can instruct those guards and entourage to do things does not necessarily have to be official documents.
As long as Sreta is wearing a noble aristocratic attire and the noble coat of arms of Count Ollie by his side, those guards do not kneel down to meet and lick Sresta's shoes, and he will be counted.
Xu Mu dared to bet, he guessed that the guards standing at the door must not have recognized Count Ollie's family, and it was not strange that the nobleman had several wives, and it was not strange that the earl's family had more than ten children.
As long as Sleta acts like and is confident enough, it's fine.
Because of this, Xu Mu is very concerned about Sleta's mood problem, afraid that she will be stressed, and even afraid.
After all, pretending to be a nobleman is a capital crime, and in this world, the submission of commoners and citizens to the rights of the nobility is from the bottom of their hearts.
And when Sleta heard Xu Mu's plan, her mentality was a little different, but the change was a little strange. She did not have the fear and resistance that Xu Mu imagined, but was extremely excited and excited.
Remembering that Sreta pretended to be a child of a powerful family in Gothic Town to bully that man, Xu Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe Sleta is different from other ordinary children, her inner yearning for nobility may not be something she can understand, for her, she is a child who has nothing, even if she can pretend to be a nobleman once before she dies, she is satisfied.
Before the two-day delivery date of clothes and badges, Xu Mu has been helping to adjust Sresta's mentality during this time, and by the way, the two often play in the town, and Xu Mu treats Sreta extremely generously, as long as Sreta wants, Xu Mu will satisfy her.
The relationship between the two has been further strengthened, and the previous month has basically been rushing and evading, in fact, they can rarely sit down and chat quietly together.
It just so happened that this waiting time gave the two of them the opportunity to talk about their feelings.
Originally, Xu Mu treated Sreta like he used to be, he had no one to believe in when he came to this world, but now he feels that he has it, it is the little girl in front of him who is only 10 years old.
Although Sleta is young and young-hearted, she is very mature in her thinking, and she has always been able to treat many things rationally, and she is extremely able to recognize her own position, and she will not cause trouble to the people around her at will, and she is really like a sister.
For Sleta, Xu Mu is her savior, obviously he saved himself from others, but Xu Mu has always said that she saved herself. This infinitely gives Sleta dignity and gives her support and response in her struggle to survive.
What Xu Mu said to Sresta, she still remembers it in her mind, people choose to do nothing when they can't do anything, so what can this person do when he has the ability?
