Chapter 293: Shopping
It's interesting to go out and play with a lot of people, so Chen Xiuyan didn't plan to go to a remote place, just go shopping in the city, and the girl's favorite thing is to go shopping, buy, buy, buy, and then eat and drink.
Chen Xiuyan didn't let the carriage and guards follow, anyway, Father-in-law Xia's martial arts skills can protect the longevity county lord, Yinyue can protect Luo Mingxin, and he also has a secret guard to follow, completely one-on-one, so he is just like ordinary people wandering around the bustling streets.
Today, Chen Xiuyan and his entourage did not wear expensive clothes, they were very ordinary silk materials, such clothes can be fully integrated in the streets and alleys of the capital, and Father-in-law Xia is also wearing regular clothes today, and then rarely speaks, even if he speaks, it is a word or two, and others can't hear his identity.
Chen Xiuyan only let Mama Mu follow alone, Hongzhu stayed in the house to take care of Concubine Yuan and casually, and Luo Mingxin only brought Huahe, so there were only six of them, plus two people in the secret, eight people were light.
"Sister Xiuyan, it's good to go out with you, if it's my grandfather, I'm worried about this and that, and it's not interesting to go shopping." The lord of Changshou County walked in the flow of people, looked at the stall of the candy blower, and took the mask hanging on the shelf of the stall, and had a lot of fun.
Chen Xiuyan asked for four in front of a stall selling begonia cakes, and the freshly baked begonia cakes were eaten in half by one person, and they tasted the taste without occupying their stomachs.
"Today, we don't follow those rules, and we can do whatever we want." Chen Xiuyan said.
"Wow, I've never had such a hot pastry." The longevity county lord took three or two bites of half a piece of begonia cake, and his face was still unfinished.
The food brought to her in the house must be checked first, even if it is hot, it is only warm, and the aroma has dissipated a lot, and she used to be greedy for food at the roadside stalls, even if she was allowed to buy it occasionally, she only ate it when she bought it, and the experience of tasting freshly baked food for the first time was really rare.
"I still want to eat that pancake." The county lord of longevity knew that if she ate too much of one thing, she couldn't eat other different kinds of food, so even if she was still interested in begonia cake, she only set her sights on other foods.
"Little girl, this is a pancake stuffed with green onions and pork, it's fragrant." When the stall owner heard the words of the county lord of Changshou, he immediately promoted his own things.
Father-in-law Xia took the initiative to buy two, because he was big and bought less, and one person shared a piece and ate a few bites.
Just like that, the group ate all the way, and then took the sugar gourd in their hands and began to visit the cloth village, jewelry stores, etc.
The famous cloth village in the capital is Laiyizhai, Chen Xiuyan walked in with six people, and many people in the lobby on the first floor were choosing clothes.
The shop is very large, equivalent to the shop of three ordinary shops, and the lobby is also separate to welcome guests, if the guests do not take the initiative to mention, they will be led according to the dress of the guests entering the door.
Chen Xiuyan and the three of them really came to Laiyizhai for the first time, and the clothes are usually made by the embroiderers in the house, so I really don't know about the classification of Laiyizhai.
"This is the famous cloth village in the capital?" The longevity lord was very surprised. …
"This lady, can we ask for a private room?" Chen Xiuyan opened his mouth and asked, generally famous shops will distinguish consumer levels, and those with more money will be selected separately in the box.
"I'm sorry, but our boxes on the second and third floors are full." Looking at the lady in her thirties and forties, she apologized.
"The second and third floors are gone, but what about the upper?" Chen Xiuyan found out outside that Lai Yizhai was five stories high.
"You want the fourth floor or above?" The lady was a little surprised, "If you want the box on the fourth floor, you need to buy enough one hundred taels, and the fifth floor is two hundred taels." ”
"Then if the things sent are not as eye-catching as we can see, do we need to pay for the private room?" The county lord of longevity looked up at the lady who was in the clothes and asked.
"Yes." The lady nodded.
"It doesn't make sense to be a good student." The county lord of Changshou frowned, she had never bought clothes and fabrics by herself, and it was the first time she had heard of this kind of practice of forced buying and selling.
"Where there is no reason, you can't afford it, you can not go to the box, just choose it on the first floor, buy it if you like it, don't buy it if you don't like it, what a simple truth." Suddenly, a little girl about the same age as the Lord of Longevity stepped forward and said.
"Min'er." The woman in the royal blue dress frowned and looked at the little girl who had just spoken, "Don't talk to others like this. ”
"Mother, I'm reasoning with her." Huo Min pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Lai Yizhai is the brainchild of my grandmother's family, where can I be misunderstood by them at will." ”
"Do you want to go to our box, so you don't have to pay if you don't get the right pick." Huo Min looked at the longevity county lord and said.
The royal blue woman's frown loosened as she looked at her daughter with a slight smile.
"This shop belongs to your grandfather's." The county lord of Changshou was surprised, "Sister Xiuyan, then we should go to their box, and we don't have to give money anyway." ”
Chen Xiuyan was a little helpless, but she could see that the longevity county lord was in a good mood, and the little girl named "Min'er" who suddenly appeared looked like a kind-hearted person, and her mother was also a courteous person.
"Let's be together, then." As soon as Chen Xiuyan's voice fell, the smile on the face of the county lord of Changshou brightened a lot.
"Come with me, we have a box on the fifth floor." Huo Min took the initiative to entertain a few Changshou county lords, and introduced Chen Xiuyan and a few others while walking.
"Laiyizhai has a history of 100 years in the capital, and the ready-to-wear and fabrics of the shop are good, but they will not be shoddy, and the price is fair, if there are defective fabrics, they will be directly marked and sold to guests cheaply." Huo Min said eloquently.
"Your shop is so big, you can top several others." The county lord of longevity praised bluntly.
"The shop was also handed down, and later I bought the two shops on the left and right and rebuilt it." Huo Min said with a little pride.
"There are a lot of nobles in the capital, so the box will be built later, although to go to the box to pay the corresponding standard of silver, but to the box are all have a certain ability, the lady of the shop will see the clothes of the people who come in, and then recommend the corresponding box suitable for the price, Laiyi Zhai can be fair." Huo Min did not forget to explain.
"That's right." The Lord of Longevity looked down at his clothes.
Chen Xiuyan greeted the woman in the royal blue dress, expressed her gratitude, and also knew that her husband's surname was Huo, "Mrs. Huo, I'm bothering you today." ”
"Where, it's my family Min'er, this kid is quick to talk, thanks to your magnanimity and lack of knowledge like her." Mrs. Huo said with a smile.
