The city of Ruzhou changed almost overnight, and the Northern Turkistan army, which had been stationed for more than 200 years, said that it would withdraw its troops, and before the people in the city could figure out the meaning, the dynasty army holding the banner of the word "king" took over the entire city.

The two sides seemed to have discussed that without any conflict, this border city would be changed for another day, and it would be put on hold without losing eighteen thousand lives.

The new garrison commander in the city is surnamed Zhao, and he is very kind, except for the day he entered the city, he asked the dignitaries in the city about the local customs and customs, and there was no movement for several days.

The common people were accustomed to seeing the Northern Turks standing on top of their heads, and when they first met an official who neither scraped the ground nor harmed people, they were inevitably a little uncomfortable, and they trembled for many days without any movement, and their hanging hearts were put down.

……

Ruzhou is located in the northernmost part of the fourteen states, although the trade exchanges are not as good as those of Shun, Youzhou and other states, but there are also some big families in the city, and they have saved a lot of money by talking to officials in the north over the years.

But whenever there is a change of dynasty, it is not the turn of ordinary people to resist when the sky falls, and the easiest to be settled by the autumn queen are precisely those rich and powerful people who enjoy all the glory on weekdays.

The people in the city naturally knew this truth, and after they got together to discuss it privately, they decided to send someone to test the truth of the general surnamed Zhao first.

If the other party is a mediocre talent with a head full of silver, it doesn't hurt to have a bigger appetite, and Reiko will not lose face, if he is a master who does not eat oil and salt, and makes up his mind to take them under the knife, then he must be prepared in advance.

Either the family will be relocated, or the fish will die, in short, the other party can't be cheap.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and the task finally fell to the owner of the tailor shop and the shopkeeper of the money bank.

……

Boss Ma's name is Ma Xiuyi, the ancestors have been out of Jinshi, the highest official worships three products, there is a big mansion with five rooms and nine frames in the capital, but that is the old yellow calendar of the first Song Dynasty, although now he is open a tailor shop to eat and wear, but compared with the ancestors, it is indeed a decline.

The Ma family's tailor shop is not big in Ruzhou City, and the scale is only stronger than the noodle shop of the old knife family in the west of the city, and it stands to reason that he can't enter the rich circle in the city at all, and the reason why he can be accepted is because he has a good wife.

Mrs. Ma is a first-class tailor in the whole Confucian state, with exquisite embroidery and tailoring skills, but the business has been tepid.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Just when the couple was worried about their livelihood, a woman from Beitu who came here to play accidentally saw the clothes in the store, and the woman made ten sets at once.

At first, everyone didn't care, just when the woman was fresh for a while, and the people of Northern Turks have always not given money to buy things, so they all persuaded the shopkeeper not to take this transaction.

At that time, the tailor's shop was in a miserable business, and if it didn't take any more work, it was really closed, and after the couple discussed, they finally accepted the order.

……

Mrs. Ma hurried day and night, day and night, and her ten fingers were pierced I don't know how many times, and finally cut ten clothes and sent them to the other party within a month.

The woman didn't expect it to be so fast, she opened her clothes and looked at it again, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and finally she was happy and rewarded her with double wages.

Half a month later, the officer of the city guard suddenly came to the door, and the shopkeeper and his wife thought that the other party would regret coming to ask for money, but the officer was very polite, and said that he wanted to order more clothes.

As soon as they asked, they learned that the woman who bought the clothes that day was from the Beitu Xiao family, and because the clothes she bought last time were novel and exquisitely made, they were loved by other women in the family as soon as they went back, so they sent officers to order them.

The Xiao family has deep roots in Beitu, and even the royal family has to be afraid of three points, the Ma family's tailor shop can be favored by the Xiao family, and the officers are too late to be the ancestors to provide for them, and they dare not do anything difficult to detain.

Since then, the shopkeeper has been able to receive several large orders from Beitu every year, although the business is not big, but the status is not lower than other powerful people in the city.

It's just that with the withdrawal of the Northern Turkistan army and the return of the fourteen states to the Central Plains, it is impossible for the Xiao family to come all the way to buy a few clothes, and the treatment of the horse shopkeeper has naturally declined, and in the eyes of the rest of the big people, he seems to have become an errand runner.

Matthew Yi has been in business for many years, how can he not know the truth of people going to tea and cooling, he has always had a good impression of these people who tend to be worshipped, and the reason why he is willing to take on this thankless task is completely hindered by the old feelings.

It has nothing to do with what kind of person the new general is, and he will not work hard to curry favor with the other party.

……

On this day, Ma Xiuyi and the shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang Sai were discussing things, and a few new faces suddenly came to the store.

The first man in his forties, with a short beard and a short shirt, looks very ordinary, and the woman and the boy behind him are one and the other are good-looking, just like the one out of the painting.

The shopkeeper's eyes are so vicious, you can see the relationship between the three at a glance, the older man must be the head of the family, the beautiful woman in her early thirties should be his wife, as for the remaining young man with red lips and white teeth, he is the son of the two, and he should look a little more with his mother.

Matthew Yi saw that a guest came to the door, and greeted him and said:

"Guest officer, are you here to buy clothes for your wife and son?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people on the opposite side immediately looked different, the man's face twitched obviously, the woman's pretty face was slightly red, and the young man looked gloating.

The shopkeeper immediately realized that he had lost his eyes, and said with a sneer:

"Under the gaffe, the three of you can watch it casually."

With that, he retreated to the back of the counter and continued to discuss with the shopkeeper in a low voice.

……

The king took advantage of it, so he didn't take it to heart, let the two behind him choose at will, and he accosted the two of them:

"May I ask the two bosses, do you know where the new general who defends the city lives?"

He was asking people what he said, and the two shopkeepers were scratching their heads about this, and the slightly chubby man with two mustaches was the first to speak:

"This guest officer, what are you looking for General Zhao to do?"

"We are old acquaintances, and this time we just stopped by to visit."

Hearing this, the mustache moved in his heart, exchanged glances with the shopkeeper beside him, and then smiled:

"That general lives in the east of the city, and it just so happens that we have something to go over, why don't we go together?"

"Very good, there are two of them."

……

After a few polite efforts, Wang Qianshan and Yan Suyu had already chosen their clothes.

Yan Suyu was originally from Beitu, and now she is under the fence, so she will naturally not be too presumptuous, and she chooses a simple dress at will.

Seeing this, Wang Quanquan couldn't help frowning and said:

"Are you going to buy all the clothes from autumn to earth, how can there be women's clothes in here?"

The young man rolled his eyes and didn't want to reply, but when he thought of asking the other party to pay for the silver, he had to say patiently:

"It's hard for us to go out on a long trip, we have to bring something for the family, don't we? In addition to mine, there are also gifts for my mother and grandmother. ”

As the young man was talking, he saw his father pick out a pink Luo skirt from the pile of clothes, and the other party pinched the corner of the skirt and said with a smile:

"Your grandmother can't wear it so tenderly at her age, don't you want to give it to your little lover?"

The young man's face quickly turned red, and he snatched the aisle:

"Bring it, don't get it dirty again."
