Chapter 255: Wedding Dress
Su embroidery workshop is on the other side of this street, because there has been no business for a few months, the shopkeeper and his wife have covered the door half early, the two of them are holding a small candlelight, are leaning on the chair to read the book, at this time I heard a rare footsteps outside, and I didn't react for a while, and the two pairs of eyes looked at me stunned.
"Boss Wu, it's been a long time. As soon as Jiang Xingze walked into the store, he took the initiative to take off his mask, it seemed that he had known the shopkeeper for a long time, and the man put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet him, and pushed his wife who was still in a daze and asked her to light the lamp, and then he looked him up and down a few times in disbelief, and exclaimed, "Master Jiang, yo, why did you come here at this time?" I heard that there was an accident in Haishi before, and I was still worried about whether you were in danger!"
"I'm fatal, nothing happens. Jiang Xingze grinned sloppily, pointed to Xiao Qianye beside him, and said mysteriously to Boss Wu, "This is a frequent visitor in this market, it is inconvenient to show people with his true face, today I will take him to pick out clothes, you go and take out all the good clothes in the store to have a look." ”
Boss Wu took a deep breath, most of the guests who can enter the sea market are not small, and it is normal for people not to want small people like them to know their identities, he smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Qianye, and said again and again: "Childe go and sit inside for a while, I haven't had any guests in this small shop for a long time, don't worry, I'll let the insiders take it out quickly." ”
Xiao Qianye followed Jiang Xingze inside, and sure enough, there were a dazzling array of clothes hanging on the walls, which were indeed slightly different from Feiyuan's usual service, but after he looked around seriously, he felt that the colors were too faint, mainly blue, blue, and white, and even most of the delicate embroidery on it was also daisies, lily of the valley and the like, he couldn't find the satisfactory one at a glance, and blurted out: " Shop, I remember that North Shore City is the first big city that foreign travelers arrive at after arriving in Feiyuan, and it is also a famous capital that never sleeps, so it is more luxurious in terms of clothing, but I think most of your styles here are plain and elegant, in a place like North Shore City, I'm afraid it is not to the taste of guests, right?"
Boss Wu couldn't help but be stunned, and saw that what he said was the Tao, as if he knew the city destroyed by the tsunami very well, so he asked, "So Gongzi has been to North Shore City before, right?"
"Hmm. Xiao Qianye realized that he had said too much, but Boss Wu didn't see the subtle reaction on his body, he shook his head and sighed vigorously, a wry smile appeared on his lips, "My wife is from the Central Plains, and their girls like to be elegant, but it is true that as the son said, the people in the North Shore City are complicated, and of course the businessmen have to follow the customs, and we originally had a lot of beautiful clothes, coupled with the exquisite embroidery style of the Central Plains, which can be regarded as winning the hearts of the people, but it is just ...... Ay. ”
Boss Wu's eyes showed a touch of sadness, and his tone gradually lowered: "It's just that not long ago, a tsunami flooded the city, at that time, my wife and I happened to go outside to choose fabrics, the front foot went ashore, and the back foot waves flooded over, fortunately, the port is next to the naval headquarters, so I was lucky to avoid this catastrophe and was rescued by the navy and was not drowned.
Xiao Qianye nodded, the number of dead and wounded in North Shore City exceeded 300,000, and when he entered the city before, he noticed that there were very few pedestrians on the street, and the city's restoration was also progressing slowly, thinking that no one had the energy to pay attention to clothing anymore.
Jiang Xingze leaned over and squeezed Xiao Qianye, winked at him slyly, and then pulled Boss Wu and whispered: "He came to pick a wedding dress for his beloved girl, that girl is from the Central Plains, so I brought him to you, you can quickly ask Mrs. to find out if there is one." ”
"Wedding dress?" Boss Wu twisted his face, stared at Xiao Qianye strangely, and muttered, "At least you have to bring someone over to try if it fits, getting married is a big deal, you can't be sloppy!"
"No, it's not a marriage. Jiang Xingze hurriedly interrupted Boss Wu's words, his eyes flashed, "There is so much nonsense about the business that has come to the door! Do you want to drive the guests out? You just take out all the red and pink ones and let him choose them by himself, go quickly." ”
When Boss Wu heard this, he shook his head again and again, but he stubbornly fought with him on the spot: "The business that goes to the door should also be exquisite, which woman doesn't want to be beautiful when she gets married, in case it doesn't fit, isn't this a lifelong regret?"
Xiao Qianye smiled, she didn't expect the owner of a small shop on a street corner to be so serious, but after thinking about it, she felt that what the other party said was indeed reasonable, so she bowed her hand and said slowly: "The lesson of the store is that it is just that it is not convenient for her to come over in person at the moment, and she also asked the store to help pick one, you are an insider, it is better than us to choose." ”
Jiang Xingze's face was red and white for a while, and he pursed his lips, thinking that if this Boss Wu knew the identity of the person in front of him, he would definitely not dare to say a word of nonsense, but seeing that Xiao Qianye looked calm and humble to ask for advice, he didn't want to say anything more.
Boss Wu saw that his attitude was quite sincere, so he gave a good face, continued to greet customers with a smile, and said: "If the son wants to find the kind of phoenix crown Xia Wei in the Central Plains, then the store is indeed out of stock at the moment, but if you are looking for a red dress and a red dress, then there is one you can try." ”
Xiao Qianye looked at him and instantly looked bright, there seemed to be a light of excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed, and hurriedly said, "Can you please take it out and take a look?"
Boss Wu's eyes rolled and he stopped talking, Jiang Xingze coughed lightly and quipped: "Boss Wu is afraid that he can't afford it?" Don't worry, he is richer than me. ”
"Richer than you?" Boss Wu couldn't help but answer, he naturally knew that Jiang Xingze was the younger brother of Jiang Zhuzhou, the owner of the Qin Tower, and behind the Qin Tower was the famous Mirror Pavilion Lord Gongsun Yan, there were really few people on the Feiyuan Continent who could be richer than him!
Xiao Qianye glared at Jiang Xingze, in fact, with his status as the head of the military pavilion before, it would not be a big deal to buy a valuable dress, but he is a fugitive now after all, so it is impossible for him to run around with a lot of money, right?
Jiang Xingze let out a low "ah", quickly looked away, and whispered: "I'll pay, I'll pay......"
Boss Wu saw Jiang Xingze covering his mouth and snickering, his face was red and white, and he realized that he had lost his temper, and before he could find a hearty laugh from behind him under the steps, the woman came over with a delicate wooden box, raised her eyes and glanced at her red-faced husband and said with a secret smile: "What are you doing there again? How many times have I told you, you must be sincere in doing business, and you should sell at whatever price you want, don't look at people who are rich and powerful and think about slaughtering them indiscriminately." ”
"Husband, wife, ......" Boss Wu looked like a strict wife, and as soon as the hostess spoke, he immediately stood aside with a weak heart, and quibbled, "I didn't think about stealing customers, this dress is indeed valuable, and you personally designed and made it, and I am reluctant to sell it." ”
"It's been a long time since guests have patronized, and you don't do door-to-door business, do you want to drink the northwest wind?" Mrs. Wu opened her mouth to reprimand, Xiao Qianye looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, and both said that Suzhou women were as gentle as water, and their eyes were affectionate, but Mrs. Wu seemed to have long been in the country, and her temperament had become very aggressive, but she smiled coquettishly again, and poked her husband lightly on the head, looking as cute as a little woman, but there was another charm, and said with a smile, " Don't hide it from the two distinguished guests, this dress was not long after I finished it, and it did take some effort, but it's not that it can't be sold, but this style, I'm afraid that most girls don't fit. 360 Literature Network
Jiang Xingze suddenly became interested, he leaned over to the table and looked curiously at the very delicate wooden box in Mrs. Wu's hand, squeezed his eyes and said, "With such a good box, can this dress still be inlaid with gold and jade?"
"Not really. Mrs. Wu also squeezed her eyes, pressed her hands on the wooden box and was not in a hurry to open it, her eyes were like torches and she sighed, "The tsunami that day in the port was a thrilling disaster, but then I remembered the scene that day, but I was inexplicably excited, the two of you didn't see it, there was really a burning phoenix from the sea!"
"Did you see it too?" Jiang Xingze blurted out, thinking of Hua Xiaoshuang, who had been obsessed with it since that day, and then looked at the shopkeeper and his wife who were full of longing in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he had guessed what was going on with the clothes in the box.
"Also, the landlord also saw it?" Mrs. Wu pressed his hand, ignoring Boss Wu's embarrassed mouth and quietly pulled her hand back, the excitement was overflowing, "There is a person standing on the phoenix, such a dazzling fire-colored long skirt, and the long sword that burns with flames, she is as radiant as the gods, and the crazy giant turtle was beaten back into the sea by her sword, and she couldn't move for a long time! Lord Feng Ji, it's really better to be famous than to meet, and I can't help but respect her as a god as a person from the Central Plains. ”
"She deserves to be called 'God'. Mrs. Wu was affirmed, and opened the wooden box happily, with joy and embarrassment in her eyes, and said, "After I got home, I kept that appearance in my mind, so I chose a similar one from the fabric I selected last time, and cut this dress from memory, but I just said that this dress is cut according to the way Lord Feng Ji is dressed, and the average girl's family is afraid that she can't support that kind of aura." ”
She shook off the clothes in the wooden box, and sure enough, it was a beautiful fire-colored long dress, with wide sleeves and a waist, and three or five layers of light yarn were used in layers, and it was really like a flame when she shook it slightly.
Mrs. Wu gestured with her hand, glanced at Xiao Qianye, and reminded: "If the son wants to buy this, the girl must at least be so tall to wear it, and she must be thin, otherwise it will not look good and it will not fit." ”
Xiao Qianye thought about it carefully, and still nodded with a smile: "It's almost that tall, she's also very thin, much thinner than Feng Ji." ”
"I want to call Lord Feng Ji!" Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly corrected his words with righteous words, her eyes were full of disdain, and she muttered and nagged, "Childe doesn't want to be in the eyes of a lover, there are so many good-looking girls, but if you really want to wear this dress like Lord Feng Ji, it is impossible." ”
"Why should she be like Feng Ji?" Xiao Qianye retorted unceremoniously, "She just needs to be herself." ”
Jiang Xingze hurriedly held him down, squeezed over and stopped between the two, and whispered in Mrs. Wu's ear: "Then Mrs. Wu must sell me this dress, I promise you, there will be no one in this world who is more suitable for this dress than her." ”
Mrs. Wu will be suspicious, but she knows Jiang Xingze's background, this guy is a master who opened a green house in the sea market, and the women he has seen are even thousands of people, if there is really any girl who can get his approval, then there must be something extraordinary.
Jiang Xingze smiled, and did not continue to talk nonsense with the two, directly took out a treasure banknote from the firm from his arms and stuffed it into her hand, Mrs. Wu glanced at it sharply, her face was shocked, and she shouted: "This is an empty ticket......
"Just fill in the price yourself. Jiang Xingze had already folded the clothes neatly and put them back in the wooden box, and the shopkeeper and his wife looked at each other in surprise, and hurriedly pressed his hand and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it! I know that the landlord is not bad for money, but you are honest in business......
"Fill in more, you're short of money right now. Jiang Xingze waved his hand indifferently, glanced at the neatly stacked luggage in the corner, smiled bitterly in his heart, and said, "Boss Wu and I are also acquainted, and now Feiyuan is not very peaceful, if the two of you want to go back to the Central Plains to avoid the limelight, you still need some silver for turnover, take it, leave early, it will be too late to have an accident again." ”
Jiang Xingze didn't dare to say it directly, glanced at Xiao Qianye, who was as cold as ever, and sighed helplessly.
Leaving Su Xiufang, the few lights on the street have all been extinguished, and the sea breeze is blowing from all directions, Jiang Xingze stuffed the wooden box into Xiao Qianye's arms, and coughed lightly: "Okay, the things have also been bought, hurry up and take them back to please the beauty, don't go out easily, don't forget that you are a fugitive!"
Xiao Qianye held the wooden box and thought about it seriously, and suddenly spoke: "Master Jiang, although the Tianzheng Mansion has been seized, most of the things inside will not be passive, please let the landlord have time to go inside and rummage through it himself, if you see anything suitable, take it away and settle the account." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Xingze looked at him stiffly, he didn't expect the other party to be serious in such a strange place, and quickly waved his hand, "Can I really take your money?" ”
"No, I can't. Xiao Qianye stubbornly retorted, her eyes sharpened, and she continued, "This is the gift I promised to give her, and I can't use your money." ”
"Oh...... Oh well. Jiang Xingze couldn't help but laugh and had to give up, biting his lower lip lightly, his brows twisted slightly, and he muttered, "Tianzheng Mansion, Tianzheng Mansion, I haven't been to it yet, it's not good to go in and get things privately......
Xiao Qianye didn't speak, facing the sea breeze, as if he vaguely heard something.
From far to near, ethereal and far-reaching.
His heart sank, and he suddenly turned his gaze to look in the direction of the sea, this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, it turned out to be ...... Whale chirping?
