As the sun rose in the sky, a convoy of seven wagons slowly stopped outside the gates of the city of Laru.

Count Nasappus, the lord of Lalu City, who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, immediately greeted him, followed by the nobles of various status and status in Lalu City.

It's just that these big people who are usually high in Lalu City, in front of this train fleet today, have bent their arrogant bodies one by one, and even there is a trace of humility on their faces.

There was only one reason why they could do this, and that was the family crest on the seven carriages in the fleet, which symbolized the Windsor family, the largest family in the southern provinces of the Candela Empire.

And the one who came to LaRue City this time was also the current patriarch of the Windsor family, and he was also the subordinate sent by the Duke of Windsor, the governor of Nahuna, to inspect LaRue City.

Although the status of these subordinates may not be as high as that of most of the people present, because they represent the will of the Duke of Windsor, they have to show enough respect and awe.

The first carriage stopped in front of the Count of Nasaskus, the door opened, and a middle-aged man of about forty years of age stepped down.

After seeing him, the Count of Nasappus couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This middle-aged man is the head of the Governor's Palace, Imado, although his position is not high, but he is a close confidant of the Duke of Windsor, and he is very trusted by the Duke of Windsor.

However, in his capacity, he is not suitable to serve as a special envoy for inspection.

Apparently seeing the doubts in the Earl of Nassapus, the chief steward of Aimado came over and whispered in his ear, "Lord Count. This time the Duchess also came. Please make good arrangements. ”

"Huh?" was the Count of Nasappus.

Didn't you say that the good ones were just an ordinary inspection delegation? Why did even the honorable duchess come?

I was questioning in my heart. The door of the third carriage opened, and a young maid-like woman jumped out of it, and then a noble lady descended slowly and gracefully from it.

As the lord of Larue, the third largest city in the Southern Province, the Earl of Nass Spoon had seen the Duchess of Windsor at many banquets at the Governor's Palace, and of course recognized her at a glance.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly walked up, solemnly saluted the Duchess of Windsor, and said with a smile: "Duchess." It's a great honor for us here in La Rue. ”

The rest of the nobles of Larue City didn't know the Duchess of Windsor, but at this moment, seeing the actions of the Earl of Nassapse and hearing what he said, of course they reacted, and immediately came over and saluted the Duchess of Windsor.

The Duchess of Windsor waved her hand very casually: "Okay, I'm just out to relax, you don't have to pay too much attention to me, just do your own business." ”

That's what she said. But as a duchess, she has already arrived here. How could it be possible for the Count of Nasappus and the others not to really care?

As a result, the original procedures set by the Earl of Nasappus to welcome the patrol were no longer important, and the focus immediately shifted to how to greet and entertain the Duchess of Windsor.

The time was in a hurry, but it made the city of Lalu a little scrambling.

Fortunately, the Duchess of Windsor was very accommodating, and directly let the Earl of Nasappus avoid those cumbersome etiquette, and the group was able to enter the city of LaRue smoothly.

"Madame, if you wish to relax, I highly recommend the Alps, thirty kilometres east of the city, for it is late spring, when the flowers and plants are in bloom, the temperature is cool, the air is fresh, and there is a large open lawn at the foot of the mountain where you can ride horses to your heart's content. There's a private estate right next to that that I've already set up, and you'll ...... there."

The Earl of Nasappus and the Duchess of Windsor rode in the same carriage as they drove towards the Lord's Palace, while trying to make recommendations to her about the sights near the city of LaRue.

The Duchess of Windsor listened a little nonchalantly, nodding her head occasionally in agreement.

This made the Count of Nasappus feel a little uneasy.

It's strange enough that the Duchess of Windsor suddenly came here, why did she still show such an attitude?

Is she really just here to relax?

The Count of Nasappus was not convinced.

But the Duchess of Windsor didn't speak much along the way, which made him feel a little at a loss for what to do.

The carriage drove through several streets and was about to turn in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion when the Duchess of Windsor, who had been silent, suddenly let out a soft sigh and pointed out the carriage window.

"What is this doing?"

The Earl of Nasappus looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw that the street on the left was crowded with people, and it was extremely noisy and noisy.

"Oh, this is the city's shopping street. So many days today...... It's probably what the shopping street is doing, and it's a common occurrence, after all, this shopping street is the busiest place in the neighborhood, and most of the people from the surrounding towns come here......"

"Not true. The Duchess of Windsor shook her head and interrupted the Earl of Nasappus. "If it's just an ordinary activity, it's impossible to attract so many people. And you see, these people who came out were all holding the same things in their hands, and it seems that they should all have been bought in a shop. ”

The Earl of Nasappus was stunned, and looked intently, and found that among the men squeezed out of the crowd, each of them had in his hand several brightly colored clothes, which were obviously from the same clothing store.

"Let's go and ask what's going on. The Duchess of Windsor said suddenly.

The Earl of Nasappus was lamenting that the Duchess of Windsor's observation skills were so good, when he suddenly heard this, he was stunned again.

How could the Duchess be so curious about such a thing?

However, of course, he would not go against the Duchess of Windsor's wishes, and found two city lord's palace guards to ask them to ask them clearly.

A few minutes later, a guard returned to report.

"Lord Castle, it is said that a shop selling clothes in the shopping street is holding a promotion, and the minimum price of each finished piece of clothing is only fifty silver coins. They started advertising three days ago because it's cheap. So today it's time for the official sale. It attracted so many people to buy it. ”

"A finished garment sells for fifty silver coins?" the Earl of Nasapps and the Duchess of Windsor looked at each other. They all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Although the usual clothes of the two are obviously not at the same level as those worn by these ordinary civilians, this does not mean that they are completely ignorant of the price of civilian clothes.

At the prevailing market price in the southern provinces, the minimum price of a finished garment, even if it is made of ordinary coarse cloth, is more than two gold coins.

Many civilians simply can't afford such a price, so most civilians simply weave their own cloth and make clothes, and don't spend money to buy it at all.

Over time, most of the tailor shops simply did not make clothes for ordinary people, but only made them for the wealthier aristocratic merchants. Naturally, the price is higher.

Now this shop is actually selling at the price of fifty silver coins each, aren't you afraid of losing money?

"Go buy a few for me to see. The Duchess of Windsor ordered.

The Count of Nasapps glanced at the guard, who immediately squeezed inside.

"Count Nasappus, it's surprising that there is such an interesting chamber of commerce in your city of Larue. The Duchess of Windsor suddenly smiled at the Earl of Nassafe.

Looking at the smile on the Duchess of Windsor's face, the Earl of Nasappus was nervous, and could only laugh and say: "These merchants always come up with some strange ideas. ”

"Really?" the Duchess of Windsor suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the west, her expression complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Glancing at the look on her face, the Earl of Nasappus was amusedly accosted.

There was silence in the carriage for a long time. Two guards returned at the same time, both with a large pile of clothes in their hands.

The Duchess of Windsor and the Earl of Nasappus only glanced at the clothes. At the same time, he sighed.

Just by looking at these clothes, you can see that the workmanship is quite good, and the material is not so inferior linen, but it should be the cotton cloth that many civilians prefer, and the dyeing is also quite uniform, so it doesn't look like that kind of shoddy thing.

The two of them had been to a few pieces of clothing since the guards were injured, and they felt that the fabric of the clothes in their hands felt quite good, which was completely different from the fabric of the homemade clothes worn by most civilians.

In order to prove his idea, the Count of Nasapps even reached out and touched the clothes under the armor on the guard's body, making sure that the fabric of the clothes on his hand felt even better than the clothes on the guard's body.

You must know that the salaries of his guards are not low, and the clothes they wear are far better than those worn by most civilians.

And the minimum price of such a dress is only fifty silver coins, which is also incredible.

On the other side, the Duchess of Windsor's focus is completely different from that of the Earl of Nassapp.

She only touched it, and immediately confirmed that the fabric of these clothes was finely woven and was by no means of ordinary quality.

A closer look at the details on some of the garments reveals that the sewing of these garments is just as fine, with every pinhole and stitch almost identical, and it looks extremely neat.

Among other things, this skill alone is enough to become a high-class tailor in any city in the southern province, and the clothes sewn are definitely expensive.

After a pause, the Duchess of Windsor unfolded the clothes in her hands with both hands, only glanced at them, and couldn't help but let out another cry of surprise.

This dress is a long dress, not only the fabric is finely made, but even the style looks extremely exquisite.

At first glance, the overall design looks very simple, but if you look closely, you will notice a hint of luxury in the various details.

From a purely design point of view, it may be slightly inferior to the long dress in his hand, which was designed by the top costume master of the Candela Empire and sold for as much as 800 gold coins, but it is not far behind.

The Duchess of Windsor was sure that with such an excellent design, if it was replaced with more expensive fabrics, as long as such fine workmanship was used, it would definitely be sold for no less than five hundred gold coins in any city in the empire.

But now......

"How much does this dress cost?" asked the Duchess of Windsor to the two guards.

The two guards scratched their heads: "We didn't ask clearly, we just threw them ten gold coins, and they let us pick ten random pieces......"

The Duchess of Windsor and the Earl of Nasapus were stunned: "Ten gold coins?"

The two looked at each other, and they both saw complete disbelief in each other's eyes.

The average price of such a good piece of clothing is only one gold coin?

I also let no other tailor shop live!(To be continued......)
