Volume I, Chapter 33. The shopkeeper paid the ransom, and the Haosa couple tried on the clothes

The inn saw that this person was wearing armor and was upright, he must not be an ordinary person, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Here you are." You see, Uncle Li is eating at that table. ”

Li Zhentian got up to see who was looking for him, and when he got closer, he recognized that person at a glance, it was the Yang guard who was in the Imperial Book Pavilion and led people to besiege Wang Jien with Liu Zhan. Li Zhentian said in his heart: This person is the emperor's person, why is he here?

After the Yang guards saw Li Zhentian, they clenched their fists and said, "Below is Yang Fan, the guard infantry division, who came to see Master Li Zhuang on the order of the emperor. ”

Li Zhentian said: "It's just to return a silver tael, how can it be such a big formation." ”

Senior Sister You walked out from behind Guard Yang and said, "Today is not just about returning the silver taels. At the order of the emperor, he brought something else. He said to the people behind him, "Carry it up." ”

I saw four people carrying two heavy boxes coming over, and Sister You said, "This is the eight thousand taels that Mrs. Li used that day, and I will return them here." ”

Ouyang Lan saw Sister You, walked over with the three of Feng's mother and son, and said, "Shopkeeper You, it's just right that you're here." Now that the mother and daughter are here, you have to apologize to them. ”

"This..." When Sister You saw Feng's mother and daughter, she hesitated.

"What's the matter, Shopkeeper You, are you embarrassed?"

Feng said, "Forget it, Mrs. Li." ”

Ouyang Lan said stubbornly: "Can't forget it." You all happen to be here today, and I have to get her to apologize to you. ”

Seeing that Ouyang Lan was unrelenting, Senior Sister You slowly said to Feng, "I'm sorry." This lady, it was ours the other day. I hereby make amends for you and your daughter. But there was not the slightest sense of guilt in these words. Then Sister You said to Ouyang Lan: "Mrs. Li, are you satisfied?" ”

Ouyang Lan could hear that this shopkeeper You was not sincerely remorseful, but he could only do so now, which could be regarded as an explanation for the Feng family's mother and daughter. Ouyang Lan said angrily: "Put the silver here, and you can go." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Mrs. Li, this is in a hurry, isn't it." Coming here today is not only to return the silver taels, but also to the emperor and Niangniang's orders, to send you and Li Zhuang two valuable things. ”

Shopkeeper You waved his hand, only to see two maidservants, walking respectfully with two boxes in both hands, Shopkeeper You opened the two boxes, and two gorgeous clothes appeared in front of everyone. One box is a black gold silk daze, and the other is a light yellow and green silk skirt, and the clothes are inlaid with gold jewelry and jade. Shopkeeper You said: "These two clothes are specially prepared by the emperor and Niangniang for you and Master Li. Please also ask the two to try it on, if there is anything inappropriate, I need to take it back and order someone to modify it. ”

Li Zhentian was not in a hurry to take out his clothes, and asked Shopkeeper You, "Please tell Shopkeeper You, what does this mean?" ”

Shopkeeper You said: "Master Li Zhuang still remembers that he promised the emperor to set up a chamber of commerce yesterday. ”

"Yes."

"The emperor will hold an enthronement ceremony five days later, and at the same time announce the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce. Then you must be there to attend, this is the clothes specially prepared by the emperor and the mother for you and your wife. ”

Li Zhentian respectfully bowed to Shopkeeper You and said, "I see, then please thank the Emperor and Niangniang for me." ”

"Okay. Then please ask Master Li and Mrs. Li to try it, there is something inappropriate, and you need to modify it quickly. Shopkeeper You said to the maidservant: "Don't send the clothes to Master Li's room yet!" ”

Li Zhentian hugged Ouyang Lan and half-pushed back to the room and tried on clothes. Such a large formation naturally attracted many onlookers, and Mrs. Zhou of Li Zhentian's partial room was no exception. I was resting in the house, but when I heard the movement outside, I also came out to check. At first glance, he was looking for Li Zhentian, and then he got closer, and realized that it had nothing to do with his own side room, and his face was full of loss. However, none of this escaped the eyes of Sister Nayou.

Li Zhentian and Ouyang Lan went upstairs to try on clothes, and Sister You walked up to Mrs. Zhou and asked, "May I ask who this lady is?" ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "I am the side house of the owner of Li Zhuang, Zhou." ”

Sister You suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Second Mrs. Li." Sister You said: "She looks beautiful and has a dignified appearance." Master Li Zhuang is really a blessing. ”

"You've won a prize. My sister is. ”

Sister You introduced herself: "I am the shopkeeper of Zuichun Building, and people call me Sister You." Then he retorted: "Second Mrs. Li's words are wrong. If you talk about appearance, Mrs. Li is indeed stronger than you. But if you talk about this etiquette and demeanor, Wangfu runs the house, I think that Second Mrs. Li is ten times stronger than Mrs. Li. Alas, it's a pity. ”

Mrs. Zhou's face became extremely ugly, she was originally dissatisfied with Ouyang Lan, and at this time, after this eldest sister You said regretfully, she gritted her teeth even more.

Li Zhentian and Ouyang Lan tried on their clothes and walked over.

"It seems that they have already tried, Second Mrs. Li, I will miss the company first." As Sister You spoke, she wanted Li Zhentian to go there.

As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes and a horse on his saddle. Li Zhentian and his wife put on this dress, and their figure and bearing immediately rose several levels, Li Zhentian's black coat was embroidered with golden dragon patterns, looking extraordinary, coupled with Li Zhentian's already strong figure, it looked even more majestic. Ouyang Lan is pale yellow clothes with green silk on her body, and there are countless jewels inlaid in it, especially the square jade belt around her waist, which shows a gorgeous appearance.

"Mother! You're so pretty! Li Yu leaned over, looked at his mother and praised him.

Ouyang Lan smiled and said proudly, "Be beautiful!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Li Yu said, and grabbed the hem of his mother's skirt with his little hand.

Ouyang Lan patted Li Yu's hand lightly and said, "Don't scratch it, this is a very valuable thing." ”

Sister You walked over and said to Li Zhentian and his wife, "It seems to fit perfectly." Lord Li Zhuang is tall and has an extraordinary bearing, and many generals may not have the majesty of you. Mrs. Li is even more graceful and luxurious, dignified and generous. Then his voice raised several degrees and said, "Especially this jade belt, it is made of the best Lantian jade." The finishing touch to this outfit. This made Mrs. Zhou, who was on the other side, hear it clearly.

Guard Yang came over and said, "Okay." It seems that there is no problem. Then we'll take our leave. These guards and men are at your disposal. Yang Fan pointed to the neat queue of people at the door.

Li Zhentian waved his hand and said, "There are so many people, how can we use them." And there's no place for them to live. ”

Yang Fan said: "Master Li Zhuang rest assured, the emperor has already explained and chartered the entire inn for your use." You don't have to worry about costs and the like. ”

Li Zhentian said: "Then it's bothering you." Thank you for me, Your Majesty. ”

Yang Fan said: "It's nothing. I'm also on orders. Since there is no problem here, Shopkeeper You and I will go back to our lives. ”

"Okay, then you guys go all the way."

Guard Yang clenched his fists and said goodbye, and left the inn with Shopkeeper You. After Li Zhentian sent Yang Guard away, he suddenly trembled, turned his head to look, and saw Ouyang Lan holding his arms with both hands, looking directly at him. Li Zhentian smiled and said, "Madam, you look really good in this dress." ”

Ouyang Lan said: "Let's not talk about whether the clothes are beautiful or not, why does the emperor want to send you clothes?" It's still the shopkeeper of the drunken spring building! ”

Li Zhentian thought about it, why did this woman turn her face so quickly, she had just immersed herself in this gorgeous dress, and suddenly questioned herself. He told Ouyang Lan about the Chamber of Commerce that the emperor told him yesterday after Ouyang Lan left.

After Ouyang Lan heard this, she pondered for a while and said, "In other words, is it the emperor's intention?" ”

"Yes."

Ouyang Lan muttered, "I always feel that something is wrong." But I can't say anything. Forget it, you arrange these people first. ”

Li Zhentian said suspiciously: "What arrangement?" ”

"Whoa!" Then he pointed to the two rows of people who were already standing neatly at the entrance of the inn. In the front row were six men, dressed in armor, who were guards. Behind the five servants on the left and five maidservants on the right.

Li Zhentian looked at these people and said, "Then you can arrange it." ”

"Okay." Ouyang Lan responded. Ouyang Lan began the deployment of personnel. Ouyang Lan is from Zhurenmen, there are many people in the door, and she has followed her father and two brothers since she was a child, and she has some management experience. From these three groups of people, each selected a relatively old person as a temporary foreman, and arranged what they had to do. After arranging all this, he stood in front of these two rows of people, clasped his fists and saluted, and said to these people: "I have worked hard for you in the past few days, and I hope you will do your duty." These words eased the nervousness of these people a little. When they saw Ouyang Lan arrogantly facing Shopkeeper You, they also felt that the person they were going to serve this time was an extremely vicious, arrogant and unreasonable person.

After Li Zhentian saw that Ouyang Lan had made arrangements, he planned to take Ouyang Lan back to the room to change his clothes. Twilight Lan came over and said, "Madam, you haven't arranged for me yet." ”

Ouyang Lan sneered and said, "I arranged it for you." You're different from them, you're still following Jianxin, and she'll teach you how to do it. ”

Jian Xin on the side said, "Okay." Then leave her to me. But now it's time to change their clothes. Since we are already from Yinlong Villa, this image can't be like this. ”

As soon as these words came out, Twilight Lan was indeed a little embarrassed to look at the clothes on her body.

Ouyang Lan said happily: "Okay, then after eating, I'll take them to buy some clothes." ”

Jian Xin responded: "Okay." Then Ouyang Lan and Li Zhentian took the other maidservants back to the room.

After the meal, Jian Xin took the Feng family and the three of them to go out to buy clothes. This made Li Yu on the side envious, and cast a yearning gaze.

Dulan said to Jian Xin, "Aunt Xin, let's bring Young Master Li Yu with us." ”

Jian Xin jokingly said: "I don't dare to take him now, in case he gets lost again, Madam is afraid that he will not kill me." ”

When Li Yu heard this, he hurriedly promised: "Aunt Xin! Don't worry, I'm definitely not going to run around this time. ”

Jian Xin said with a smile: "Really? I won't take you with me. ”

Li Yu pulled Jian Xin's clothes, refused to let go, and said, "Aunt Xin, you can take me." ”

Twilight Lan volunteered, "Aunt Xin, this time, I look at him, and I won't let him run around." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Aunt Xin, let her look at me this time! ”

"Alright. If you can go out, I have to ask your mother, she doesn't nod, you just stay at the inn honestly. Jian Xin poked Li Yu's little head with her hand.

Li Yu stuck out his tongue and said, "Aunt Xin, I'll go with you." ”

"No need, you can wait for me here."
