Chapter 604: There Are Evil Slaves
Ni Zhen Clothing Fang is also located in the West City, only separated from the Yi Zhen line two intersections, when the car, I heard that Eleven Niang is going to Ni Zhen Clothing Fang, Jiu Niang then talked eloquently: "Aunt saw my dress, asked from Ni Zhen Fang, there was some interest, only I accompanied Aunt to go once, the owner was full of apologies, said that the shop to take the order has been scheduled to the year later, unless willing to buy a sample, if you want to tailor, at this time, I am afraid that it will be until July and August of the next year to take it, even if the eleventh sister goes at this time, I am afraid that it is useless." β
The aunt in Jiu Niang's mouth is Yingyang Zhenren, she only thought that Eleven Niang was also to cut new clothes, although she didn't want to spoil the fun, but she was worried that her sister would be disappointed, so she had to tell the truth.
The purpose of Eleven Niang is not to make clothes, but many things have not happened yet, and it is inconvenient to explain to Jiu Niang at this time, so he smiled: "Ni Zhenfang is famous, I am also out of curiosity, not far apart, just go by the way to see it, I don't know what the embroidery girl looks like, and the owner, the way of tailoring is also different, and it is not bad to listen to some suggestions." β
Jiuniang has been to two times, but also experienced "tailor-made", then said: "The owner is a middle-aged man, of course, not by him, usually receive female guests, measure the height of the arm, are the owner of the lady to handle, but the choice of clothing, color, style is the owner of the person to come forward, it is also magical, but look at the guests a few glances, there is a success, three days later, only out of the ready-to-wear sample, after sending the guests to see, if there is no objection, then make a deposit, I have never seen the embroidery girl, only know the owner of the husband and wife, it looks like they are kind people. β
Eleven Niang listened to these words, knowing that the husband and wife of the owner were actually engaged in the affairs of the shopkeeper, so they speculated that they were not big businessmen, and I am afraid that there were not many embroidery girls, so the tailoring of dresses needed to delay for many days, maybe it was not out of the business methods of "Juqi", maybe it was really too busy, so she was more sure of what she was secretly planning, of course, how it was, or to verify it on the spot.
The destination arrived quickly, unlike the different treasure line, this clothing shop is not facing the wide road opened, but in the middle of the lane, although the car and horse can also enter, parking in the lane will inevitably cause congestion, the sisters had to get off at the intersection, walk inside, and see the roadside shelving signboard from afar, the four characters of the book Nizhen Clothing Fang are quite stylish.
Because it is located in Qu Lane, the faΓ§ade is not facing the street, along the street is a row of earthen walls, painted pink and white, the door is open, looking inside is the courtyard, the end of the bluestone road is the hall, it looks like an ordinary house, no one welcomes guests in front of the door, but there are exhibition racks in the courtyard, dozens of sets of dresses of various colors, the display is neat and clear at a glance, there are a few maids in Tsing Yi are watching on the left side, it should be the maid who followed the female guests to make clothes.
Ladies and nobles go out, in addition to the maidservants, most of them have escorts to follow, eleven Niang and Jiu Niang followed by more than a dozen, they are all consciously standing in the corner of the courtyard, to all pour into the hall, it seems to be violent, that is the behavior of the nouveau riche, despised by the famous family.
The two sisters only entered the hall with their personal maidservants, and then someone came forward, a tall middle-aged man with a wide forehead and square chin, although he was not imposing, but he also looked dignified.
"This is the owner." Jiuniang whispered.
"Do you want to make clothes? I'm really sorry, although the shop can be ordered to sanction clothes, but due to excessive orders, I am afraid that it will be necessary to pick up the clothes in the coming year. The shopkeeper was full of helplessness, because of the lack of embroidery, he had missed a lot of business these days.
"It's okay, I don't need it urgently." Eleven Niang said.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Then please ask the little lady to sit slowly, the inner child is measuring the body for the guests, and the little lady will wait for a while." β
Eleven Niang glanced at the hall furnishings, although it was not luxurious, but it was elegant and clean, but she was not in a hurry to sit, and only asked the owner: "I don't know if your family is willing to sell embroidery samples." β
"This ......" the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, because he had not yet met the customer to raise this question, patiently explained: "The craftsmanship of the embroidery lady in the small shop is wonderful in the beauty of paving the cui, even if the little lady has the embroidery sample, I am afraid that it is difficult to embroider the embroidery lady in the house." β
"I'm willing to buy it for 10,000 yuan, and as for whether it can be embroidered, the store doesn't have to worry." Eleven Niang said.
At this time, even Jiuniang was taken aback, glaring at the girl, she still needs to spend a lot of money to buy embroidery samples? I'm obviously a painter, right? How many people asked her for an embroidery pattern, and it was difficult to get her wish after exhausting her lips and tongue.
"But I have a request, that is, I want your embroidery girl to draw it according to my request."
The shopkeeper is very tempted, and the tailoring and embroidering of a set of dresses is not more than 10,000 yuan, but it takes a lot of time to do it manually.
He was about to say yes, but he heard an arrogant voice.
"This embroidery girl has no time to spare!"
Eleven Niang turned around to look, but saw a woman with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, followed by several men with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, and broke in violently, the speaker was the woman, with a pair of triangular eyes, as if holding a blade, coldly scraped Shi Niang's face, the tip of his nose snorted coldly, and his eyes made people disgusted.
The shopkeeper obviously knew the woman, and immediately looked distressed, and stepped forward to salute: "Auntie......"
He didn't say a word, but was interrupted by the woman: "Tell your embroidery girl to come out, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." As soon as his eyes were horizontal, the strong man next to him pinched his knuckles crackling.
The lady behind her was extremely dissatisfied with the arrogance of this woman, and had the intention to help the shopkeeper, and raised her eyebrows: "What kind of person is so arrogant?" β
The woman is not afraid of the noblewoman at all: "My housewife is Mrs. Yuanxiang, I don't know who the lady is, dare to meddle in things?" β
The lady immediately lost her arrogance, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said to the shopkeeper: "I don't want clothes, and you don't want to draw samples." "I ran away.
Even the noble lady from the official family can't afford to provoke this servant woman, the shopkeeper and his wife are even more frightened, one had to call the embroidery girl to come out, and the other explained in a low voice: "Auntie, stop the anger, it's not that the villain has the intention to be lazy, only many orders, all agreed on when to deliver, there is only one embroidery lady in the store, it's really too busy, the villain's family, only to gain a foothold in Chang'an, can not lose credibility." β
The servant didn't care so much, and watched with a cold face as the embroidery lady came out behind the shopkeeper.
Eleven Niang also looked over.
The embroidery lady is about seventeen or eighteen years old, still dressed as a daughter's family, her eyebrows are ordinary, and it is almost difficult to make an impression at a glance, but she is not as timid and afraid as the husband and wife of the shopkeeper, and her spine is straight, and she is not afraid of the arrogant servant, and she welcomes it lightly.
"My wife said that she wanted to buy your embroidery girl as a slave, and you said a price." The servant woman was very arrogant.
The shopkeeper's forehead was already drenched in cold sweat, and he said: "I hope that Grandma will apologize on her behalf, the embroidery girl is not a slave, but a villain." β
"It's not a slave, you can sell yourself into slavery." It's extremely light to say.
"Even if you are Mrs. Xiangguo, you can't force Liang to be a slave, right?" The embroidery lady said coldly: "I am a good family and I don't want to sell myself." β
The servant woman smiled coldly, and said to the shopkeeper: "Since you are her father-in-law, you can always be the master of marriage, right?" My wife intends to take a concubine for the prime minister, if you agree, I will go back to the order, and then ask the matchmaker to send the dowry. The attitude seems to have eased, but it is just a different way of speaking, and it is still to bully others.
"This ......" the shopkeeper wanted to delay: "It's still after the villain consults with the little girl first......"
"What, if you don't eat the toast, you want to eat the penalty wine?" The servant's eyebrows raised again: "I'll wait, you will discuss now, and I will see what you can still discuss." β
The shopkeeper looked at the embroidery girl helplessly, the intention of compromise was obvious, but the embroidery girl knelt down: "Shu'er can't obey her fate, even if she dies, she will never be a concubine." β
"What a slut, then you're going to die for me today!" The servant woman put her hand on the waist of the bucket and completely transformed into the image of a demon.
At this time, a little girl jumped out of nowhere, put her head on the waist of the servant woman, and knocked the servant woman on her back to the sky, the girl simply sat on the servant woman, and pulled the servant woman's hair is a disorderly splash: "Don't let you, the wicked woman, bully my mother, don't let you, the wicked woman, bully my master." β
The appearance of the little girl stunned everyone, and the shopkeeper took a long break before shouting: "Ai Lu, stop quickly!" β
The servant woman was in pain, and at this time she also shouted out, and she couldn't push the maid who called Ai Lu away, and a strong man came back to his senses and reached out to carry Ai Lu, but he didn't expect to be bitten by Ai Lu accurately, and the strong man was easy to break free, and his backhand was a slap in the face, but he didn't expect to be avoided by Ai Lu again, and another strong man stepped forward, so he picked up Ai Lu, but the girl lowered her head and actually knocked the strong man into a stumbling one, seeing that a few wolf-like thugs were about to beat a girl in her early tens. Jiu Niang, who couldn't bear it, said "stop" and drank it in time.
And after she shouted and reprimanded, she found that the guards who were waiting for the order outside pulled out their waist knives with a bang, and the blades went straight to several thugs in the Yuan Prime Minister's Mansion.
