Chapter 37: Reconciliation
According to the etiquette regulations, the number of deep clothes and skirts is set at twelve, and the basic etiquette should be followed for formal scenes, even if they are self-made clothing.
"How is this possible, how can Yunxiang Pavilion do such non-compliant clothes?"
"But just now you yourself admitted that the clothes were indeed from your Yunxiang Pavilion." Mama Kang said.
Shopkeeper Du asked Su Yanshang to release the rumor that the dress of the Duchess of Xinguo was from Yunxiang Pavilion, but what he didn't know was that there was another news that came out together, which was about the number of pendulums, but this news only reached the Xinguo Mansion.
"This ...... This skirt is not Yunxiang Pavilion's, Du Mou is wrong! Shopkeeper Du was in turmoil at the moment, and of course it was more important to be polite than the provenance of this dress, and he decisively denied his own statement just now.
"You'd better give an explanation to the Guogong Mansion." Lu Shi issued an eviction order.
"Haven't you found Miss Su yet?"
The Lu family knew that Su Yanshang was the master of Donglai Pavilion, and she didn't know if that rumor was true at the moment, but whether it was stealing other people's clothes and offering them to her, or making clothes that did not conform to the etiquette system by herself, it was a wrong thing.
"Yes, neither the Dingning Marquis Mansion nor the Donglai Pavilion have found her."
Lu frowned.
When the shopkeeper Du returned to Yunxiang Pavilion, he sent someone to spread the news as quickly as possible, and asked half of the nobles in the capital to know within one day: The clothes worn by the Duchess on the Queen Mother's birthday were not from Yunxiang Pavilion.
"It's not from Yunxiang Pavilion, who is it?"
"Who else can it be, naturally it is Donglai Pavilion. The fight between merchants is just that, don't make a fuss. ”
The nobles who were going to go to Donglai Pavilion to return the goods were a little relieved. That deposit is a lot, even if only half of the return is deducted, it is enough to make people feel distressed.
At this moment, Su Yanshang came to Jingzhao Mansion wearing a veil. As soon as the yamen of the mansion opened, I saw a woman in purple rushing in, and a gust of wind blew: "Lord Guancha, the security in the capital is not good!" ”
"Who are you? Get out of here, can you come in casually here? An official errand said.
"I'll find Master Liu, go and report to me immediately, otherwise it will be too late." Only if she is quiet and has no background, people will not pay attention to it, and she will annoy people too.
"You have something to do outside, go outside and beat the drum!"
"Xu Xiang's shop has been burglarized, don't you care?"
"Xu Xiangjia ......"
Xu Xiangjia seems to have more than one case recently, last time someone robbed the store with him, this time it was theft, it seems that it is not easy to be a prime minister, and he is calculated everywhere.
The official hurriedly slipped into the backyard and reported to Liu Si.
When Liu Si heard that it was about Xu Xiang, his heart shrank.
I didn't know who I found to help when I went back to Zhenbeihou Mansion, so I asked him to put the shopkeeper of the building, but the person put all the mustaches and tails, and he didn't even hit a board, so he ran away for half a year.
He tightened the black gauze hat on his head with his hand.
When he arrived in the front yard, he saw a thin woman in purple wearing a purple veil, motioned for him to approach, and said in a low voice, "Yunxiang Pavilion stole my fabric." ”
"How do you know it's Yunxiang Pavilion?"
"How do I know, naturally Xu Xiang found out. I originally wanted to be private, but Xu Xiang said that he wanted to do business! Got it? Su Yanshang said.
Liu Si squinted, he didn't know the little lady in front of him, but if this was really a lawsuit between Xu Xiang and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion - he knew that Yunxiang Pavilion belonged to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
"Then go check it out." He didn't want to offend Xu Xiang again.
At this time, the shopkeeper of Yunxiang Pavilion was secretly waiting proudly and expectantly. After the opening of Donglai Pavilion, he immediately went to find Boss Yu and wanted to sign a contract to buy the precious fabric, but he couldn't find it.
However, even if Donglai Pavilion is in the limelight for a while, it is just a new store with no background, and it can only make ten sets of skirts a month, which is very unprofessional when you hear it, and this output is simply incomparable with Yunxiang Pavilion.
The only thing that is remarkable about it is the fabric of the clothes, and as for the style, in his opinion, it is just a pediatric, so as long as they can cut off their supply of fabrics, Donglai Pavilion will close its doors immediately.
He regretted that he was unwilling to pay twenty times the liquidated damages for the other party to buy the first piece of cloth, otherwise, the masterpiece on the Duchess of Xinguo would come from his Yunxiang Pavilion.
Seeing that Donglai Pavilion became famous overnight, and his guests ran over, he couldn't sit still.
After not being able to sleep all night, he sent someone to sneak into Yunxiang Pavilion, wanting to see if there was any cloth, but he couldn't find it, so he took the sleeping people inside.
That person hadn't seen it before, but it was definitely inseparable from Donglai Pavilion.
Therefore, whoever said that the problem must be solved with silver, can also use some simple methods.
Just as he was chattering, the official came to the door.
"Someone accused you of stealing property from Yunxiang Pavilion, come with us." The chief official said expressionlessly.
Shopkeeper Du cautiously complimented: "Official, is there any misunderstanding here, we are serious businessmen, how can we steal?" This is incredible! ”
"Whether there is theft or not, we will find out after investigation. Now, you go with us, and we'll check the store. The official was a cold noodle who said nothing, and immediately asked the shopkeeper Du to be escorted away, and ordered someone to search the store.
Shopkeeper Du sneered: It seems that Donglai Pavilion guessed that he had kidnapped someone, and then thought of looking for someone in the store. Hmph, how could he lock people up in a store?
After searching for a while, an officer and soldier who was holding a rag in his left hand and half a cloth in his right hand said, "Come and see if it's this, I look like this." ”
Hearing the call, the other two officers and soldiers who were searching stepped forward and looked: "It should be, the color and texture are a bit similar." ”
"Take it back and talk about it."
In the end, I searched all the places, and this half of the horse was the most similar.
In the court, Liu Si patted the hall and said: "This is the evidence found from Yunxiang Pavilion, what else does Shopkeeper Du have to say?" ”
"This little people don't know." Shopkeeper Du's shrewd little eyes looked at the cloth, hey, is this a fool?
"My lord, this half of the cloth is from my shop, and it is ours." Du shopkeeper said.
"But this little piece of cloth belongs to Donglai Pavilion." Zhao Zhuo said, "Does Shopkeeper Du think that it is not the same piece of fabric?" ”
Liu Si was curious, but the man was very sure that it was cut from the same cloth, and Liu Si motioned for him to get up and prove it.
The two are just a color, not a piece of cloth at all, and the shopkeeper Du is confident that he has been doing this for more than 20 years, and he still has this eyesight.
I saw Zhao Zhuo spread out the cloth, grabbed the cloth with both hands and shook it, and everyone else present widened their eyes in surprise. The cloth had the same auspicious cloud pattern as on the rags.
What a miracle!
Shopkeeper Du was even more surprised: Isn't this the yarn used as the shawl of the Duchess in the legend?
"Shopkeeper Du, are you sure you have such a fabric in your store? Who doesn't know that this only one is in the hands of our Donglai Pavilion. Now found in your store. Zhao Zhuo turned to Liu Si, "My lord, please make the decision for Donglai Pavilion." ”
"I'm mistaken, this is indeed not our cloth, someone must have put it in on purpose!"
Before going to the Guogong Mansion, he must have admitted that such a good cloth was theirs, but now, it was still not good. Fortunately, the other party was not familiar with the etiquette system, and made clothes that did not conform to the rules, offending the nobles.
Hmph, if you don't have any strength, you just want to compete with him for the market and play with fire and set yourself on fire!
"Such a precious fabric, there is only this one in the world, half of it was used to make the shawl of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and less than half of it is left in our store, I can't wait to supply it, how can we put it in?"
"To frame, of course!" Shopkeeper Du said angrily.
He kidnapped the blind woman, but he didn't expect them to come out like this, and if he was convicted and imprisoned, the kidnapping would be useless.
"Hmph, we can't take orders from Donglai Pavilion, what is there to frame you for this decadent old shop?" Zhao Zhuo said confidently and proudly.
"Your Donglai Pavilion is just a new store, even if it is in the limelight for a while, how can it compare to the heritage of the old store, you know, Yunxiang Pavilion is the industry of Zhenbei Hou Mansion." Your Donglai Pavilion is about to be finished!
Liu Si's scalp tightened, and he felt a chill when he remembered the old woman's stubborn stalking and threats.
He knocked on the shocking wood: "Since that piece of cloth was found in Yunxiang Pavilion, it is evidence ......"
"My lord, the grass people can also say that someone else stole the cloth and put it into our Yunxiang Pavilion, after all, no one saw that it was our people who went in and stole it, right?" He didn't admit it, presumably the store opened by Beihou Mansion in this town, Lord Liu would not be embarrassed.
"Of course there is evidence." Zhao Zhuo said.
Shopkeeper Du narrowed his mung bean eyes: What are they doing? There could be any evidence that he didn't do it.
"Yunxiang Pavilion has someone to look at this piece of cloth, the cloth was found, but the person who looked at the cloth was not found, we suspect that it was kidnapped by Yunxiang Pavilion." Zhao Zhuo said.
Shopkeeper Du sighed in his heart: "It turns out that your cloth keeper put the half of the cloth into my shop and then hid." ”
"Please make the decision for the grass people!" Zhao Zhuo cut it categorically and kowtowed.
"Please make the decision for the grass people!" Shopkeeper Du also said.
Liu Si immediately arranged for someone to find Guo Niangzi.
Shopkeeper Du: "The other party has committed a crime, and he must have escaped!" ”
"Shopkeeper Du, what are you nervous about?" Zhao Zhuo said.
"What? I'm not nervous! You're nervous! ”
"I mean, even if the other party escapes, he can be caught, and he can be a witness if he is caught. You don't have to worry about any of this. ”
Liu Si's subordinates were guided by the masked man, and in less than half a day, they found the location of Guo Niangzi, who was locked up in Du's shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper Du was speechless.
According to the laws of Anguo, stealing is already a more serious crime, not to mention kidnapping!
As soon as Liu Si was about to sentence the shopkeeper Du and distribute 3,000 miles, he heard that the shopkeeper Du moved out of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.
Liu Si's head hurts, on one side is the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and on the other side is Xiangye, he is also very embarrassed!
In fact, the shopkeeper Du just scared Liu Si. Thinking that Mrs. Yi scolded him for not wearing the clothes of Yunxiang Pavilion at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, he felt that it was not good.
So he changed his attitude: "My lord, my lord, this is not a theft, not a kidnapping, I just want to trade with Donglai Pavilion, it is just a commercial transaction, my lord, now that I have failed to negotiate, I am willing to settle with money." "Self-defeating
