Chapter 139: New Clothes
Xia Mingzhong took the list of medicinal materials purchased recently to King Ying, and King Ying glanced at it superficially, most of them were ordinary medicinal materials, and the other half were rare species that were rarely seen on weekdays.
"All the pharmacies in the capital have been run through?" King Ying rubbed his temples, a little tired, as Guan Jiyu's cultivation became higher and higher, there were more and more types of medicinal materials that needed to be replaced in the medicine pool, after all, "Chopping the Wind Technique" was a forbidden book handed down from Heyuliu's country, and some of the medicinal materials needed in it were often difficult to find.
King Ying had to worry about it.
"What did the medicine farmer's daughter say? Hasn't she been delivering medicine to us? King Ying handed the list to Xia Mingzhong again, and said, "Could it be that she doesn't have it there?" ”
Xia Mingzhong's face did not change, and said: "I have run around the capital, and I have asked everywhere I can, and what we need at present is really only her family." ”
King Ying said: "Isn't that okay?" If she has the goods, we will renew the order with her normally. ”
Xia Mingzhong shook his head and said, "She doesn't seem to be very willing." The people in the house told her about it yesterday, but she hesitated, not knowing what she was considering. ”
"Do you think the price is too low?" King Ying smiled contemptuously and said, "These medicine farmers, relying on their own acres of land, don't think about raising the price all the time, those medicines are not worth a few dollars, all of them are coaxed by them." ”
Xia Mingzhong said: "Miss Jin Chan said that there are a few medicines that she doesn't have much, not to mention that she is still making other people's orders, so she ......"
"Then I don't care, I don't care whose list she makes, anyway, she has to do my list." King Ying squinted and said, "Give her some more money and see what else she has to say?" Mingzhong, you go and talk to her directly, so that she had better withdraw everyone's list for the time being, and she can mention any conditions. ”
Xia Mingzhong responded: "Yes." ”
In recent days, Jin Cicada has to come to the palace almost every day to deliver medicine, Xia Mingzhong got the order of King Ying, and he was waiting for Jin Cicada, and when she came over again, Xia Mingzhong called her aside.
Jin Chan still had a smile on his face, his eyes were clear and sincere, and he asked, "Lord Xia is looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”
Xia Mingzhong didn't like to talk around the corner, so he got straight to the point and said directly: "We want the Golden Cicada girl to push off all other orders, and for the time being, we will only do our Six Princes' Mansion, what do you think?" ”
Jin Chan seemed to think carefully about this request, and the smile on her face changed to another expression of unknown meaning, and said, "I know that the list of the palace is extraordinary, and it is also my honor to serve the prince." Error-free update @ But I also have other big orders, and the remuneration I get will not be less, how can Lord Xia feel that I am willing to give up all the other lists? ”
Xia Mingzhong took out a bag of silver directly from his arms, it was heavy, he put it in Jin Cicada's hand, and said: "This is just a deposit paid to you first, don't worry, girl, since we have made this request, we will definitely not let you lose money." We absolutely guarantee that you will not lose money. ”
Jin Chan shook the money bag in his hand and said: "There are many guests who take medicine with me, and a few of them are still big families in Beijing. ”
Xia Mingzhong didn't think this was a good excuse, so he simply continued: "If it's convenient, Miss Jin Chan might as well live in the palace, if there is any need, we can communicate directly, and save a lot of unnecessary trouble, we won't take up too much of your time, girl, what do you see?" ”
Jin Cicada's thin eyebrows frowned slightly, half for embarrassment: "This method is good, I just want to think about whether it will be too troublesome......"
Xia Mingzhong said decisively: "As long as the golden cicada girl doesn't feel troublesome, we naturally won't feel troublesome." ”
Jin Chan hesitated: "Then I'll think about it again......"
Xia Mingzhong said: "No need to think about it, the golden cicada girl is a businessman, as long as it does not damage the interests of the golden cicada girl's business, the girl is not a loss, and for our prince, it is just at this time period that the golden cicada girl needs the help of the golden cicada girl, this is a mutually beneficial cooperation, I can't think of anything else to hesitate about the girl?" Why not give an answer to that? ”
Jin Chan covered his mouth shyly and smiled, and said, "Since Lord Xia has come in person, Jin Chan will agree." ”

Chapter 139: New Clothes
Xia Mingzhong's eyebrows seemed to relax a little, he nodded, then returned to his original indifferent expression, and left with the nullah knife.
The golden cicada stayed in place, she kept looking at Xia Mingzhong's back, and from the moment Xia Mingzhong turned his back to her and left, a complicated smile began to appear on her face.
There is admiration in that shallow smile, this confidant of the sixth prince, the first swordsman of Xuli, he will also stand in front of her and bargain with her. These so-called big people will also have a time to negotiate conditions with ordinary people like her, thinking of this, the corners of Jin Cicada's mouth rose slightly, and the pleasure on his face could hardly be concealed.
From time to time, there are people walking around in the palace, even if they are people in the palace, most of the clothes and materials on their bodies are good. Jin Cicada knows the quality of these fabrics, and after coming to the palace a few times and seeing more, he can only feel more at the luxury and luxury of the royal son. She looked down at her clothes again, and for a moment the joy on her face was gone, and though no one noticed her, she stood under the tree, looking at her cheap clothes, and frowned.
"It seems to be very bad, not even a subordinate."
Jin Cicada heard her voice, there was self-deprecation and unwillingness, she was still holding a bag of silver given by Xia Mingzhong in her hand, and the heavy weight made her have an idea - to spend it.
Jin Chan didn't have much time to hesitate from the idea to the decision to realize it, she strode out of the palace, took the big bag of money that originally belonged to her, and went straight to the largest ready-to-wear store in the capital.
After stepping into the ready-to-wear store, Jin Chan found that there were not many customers in the huge storefront at this time. The shopkeeper noticed her at a glance, which made Jin Chan slightly uneasy, but the bulging money bag seemed to give her great courage, and she straightened the broken hair in front of her forehead, and moved her eyes from her toes to the ready-to-wear clothes hanging in the store.
"Girl, what style do you want to see?" The shopkeeper greeted enthusiastically: "There is just a batch of new styles in the store, you can take a look." ”
Jin Cicada's eyes have been wandering over the various clothes in the store, and after seeing a few, she frowned and shook her head, "These looks are not new enough." ”
The shopkeeper was surprised: "How can it not be new enough?!" Girl, don't you believe any other store to see, which one has the new style and new material I have here? Seeing that Jin Chan still looked unconvinced, the shopkeeper said: "I dare to pack tickets, there will never be any store that is faster than my new speed!" ”qδ
Jin Chan slowly shifted her gaze to the shopkeeper, she folded her hands in front of her, and said with a shallow smile: "I didn't mean that, who in this capital doesn't know that you are the biggest here?" If it weren't for the time-honored brand you here, I wouldn't be here. ”
"The girl has been to my shop?" The shopkeeper looked at the golden cicada again, and the golden cicada was seen as a little unnatural, so he replied: "I used to come often, but I haven't lived in the capital for the past two years, and it's normal that you don't remember me." ”
Jin Chan turned around, pointed to the clothes hanging on the wall, and said, "This, this, and that, take them down and give me a try." ”
The owner of the store didn't ask other people to help Jin Chan try it on, as soon as he heard that she used to come often, he was busy and personally accompanied Jin Chan to try one set after another with a smile, and finally completed the transaction under Jin Chan's critical and reluctant expression.
The golden cicada's originally bulging money bag suddenly deflated a lot. She didn't care at all, her hands were full of "trophies" that she had been busy with for a long time.
Only new clothes were purchased, which was naturally not enough for her.
Jin Cicada went straight to the jewelry store again, accompanied by the jewelry boss tried on several sets of jewelry, she didn't know much about these things, and couldn't see the quality of the things, no one around to help with the reference, Jin Cicada almost in the store owner half recommended and half fooled, hastily purchased two more sets of jewelry.
If nothing else, she herself liked the large beads inlaid in the jewelry. Jin Cicada out of the door of the jewelry store, put the newly bought jewelry on her head, she has not been so happy for a long time, all the way swaggering, every pedestrian on the road seems to be looking at her, she is satisfied with every gaze cast at her, enjoying the envy in their eyes.
Jin Cicada heard the woman sighing towards her on the side of the road, although the woman's voice was voiced. Initial Update @ (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 139: New Clothes
It's not big, but she can hear it clearly: "This is the wife of a dignitary in Beijing, right?" ”
Jin Cicada unconsciously reached out and stroked the hair ornament on his head, and his heart was even more beautiful. Although the old clothes that she changed out of were well wrapped, Jin Chan knew in her heart that no matter how gorgeous the packaging was, it couldn't change its rough nature.
She couldn't wait to find a less crowded alley and discarded the old clothes she was carrying there.
"I hope I'll never use you again." Her face was expressionless, and there was a faint hint of disgust. After throwing away the package of old clothes, Jin Cicada looked around again to make sure that no one noticed her, and she finally relaxed and trotted away.
Jin Cicada's steps were very brisk, and the big bag she was carrying in her hand did not affect her pace, and she hummed a ballad in her mouth as she walked:
"Little doll, shabby clothes.
No one cares and cries.
I want to see the big brother next door, and the green plum rides around the bed bamboo horse.
Poor little doll, my brother doesn't see the little doll.
I don't know if it's because the doll is dirty, or if the clothes are dirty?
If there is a new clothes in the coming year, can there be a man to ride a bamboo horse?
In the coming year, new clothes will be changed, and new clothes will be worn and old clothes will be discarded.
New clothes, red makeup.
The eldest brother looked at me with reluctance.
Big brother looked at me and was reluctant to leave ......"
Jin Chan sang with a smile, she sang this ballad when she was very young, she only felt bitter before, and felt that the words of the ballad were strangely pitiful.
Now when she sings again, she only feels happy in her heart.
This ballad is written about her, and it is written especially for her!
"New clothes, red makeup.
The eldest brother looked at me with reluctance. Initial Update@
Big brother looked at me and was reluctant to leave ......"
Jin Chan sang all the way, I don't know how many times she has sung this ballad, the more she sings, the more energetic she becomes, and she doesn't feel tired at all. It wasn't until she returned to the door of the Six Kings' Mansion that she stopped humming, straightened her clothes, and walked in calmly.
