Chapter 54: Skirmishes Outside the Racecourse
The shopkeeper Dong is worthy of being a shrewd person in business, and he has long seen that Xie An and they are not very rich. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After sending the Wang housekeeper away, the shopkeeper Dong turned around and said with a smile: "These guest officers, I'm really sorry, the best spring clothes in the small store are out of stock for the time being, if a few must take the best, I'm afraid it will take a while." However, although the other spring clothes in the small store are not as good as the first-class spring clothes, they are also comfortable and decent, and the price is also a lot affordable. I wonder what a few guests think?"
"Okay, let's take a look at the other spring clothes. ”
Shopkeeper Dong is obviously for Xie An to go down the stairs, Xie An naturally won't fail to see it, and after getting off the donkey down the slope, he also has a good impression of Shopkeeper Dong in his heart.
"Those guest officers, please come here with me to choose, and I can also explain to a few of you the styles and prices of the existing spring clothes in the shop. ”
Shopkeeper Dong made a gesture of invitation and led Xie An and the others to the back warehouse, while the guy was left in front to take care of business.
"Who asked for those three sets of clothes just now?" Xie An couldn't help but be a little curious, and couldn't help asking.
"In Lanshan City, apart from the City Lord's Mansion, how can anyone have such a big hand. Even when I took the order, I was also bluffed, although my family has been making high-end clothes for generations, but I have never made such a grade of clothes, and even the materials used in the clothes are very valuable. The shopkeeper Dong was also surprised by these three sets of sky-high women's clothing.
"Why would the City Lord's Mansion order such expensive women's clothes?"
"It seems that Sima Changying, the young city lord, is going to marry the daughter of the former Shoufu, these three sets of women's clothes are wedding dresses, this is really a pair of talented women and goddesses, and it will definitely be a big event that will cause a sensation in Lanshan City at that time. Shopkeeper Dong couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, Xie An still knows something about this marriage, but yesterday in the Lanshan Restaurant, I heard Sima Changming and his friends talk about it.
"But I don't think it's easy to sew these women's clothes, I'm afraid it took a lot of time, right?"
Xie An didn't inquire about this high-profile marriage, but asked about such a trivial matter, which surprised the shopkeeper Dong, but he still gave Xie An an answer truthfully.
"That was natural, it took us half a month to get together the fabric and thread needed for this sewing, another month to make it, and a month and a half to make it. ”
Xie An nodded, thoughtful.
According to the shopkeeper Dong, the Sima family should have decided to marry Chen Xiaoen as early as a month and a half ago. And at that time, how did they know that Chen Xiaoen would come to join them? and how did they know that Chen Xiaoen would be willing to marry Chen Yurou into the Sima family?
Obviously, Chen Xiaoen and Sima Yi have been in contact before, and even this marriage may have been finalized.
When he met Xie An, Chen Xiaoen instructed Chen Yurou to make friends with Xie An, and even had a tendency to acquiesce to Xie An as his son-in-law.
At first, Xie An only thought that Chen Xiaoen had saved him, and he was grateful to himself so that he had the intention of marrying his baby daughter. Later, I found out that Chen Xiaoen only made this decision in order to trap himself, the protector.
But now it seems that Xie An's thinking is still simple.
If Chen Xiaoen had really made a marriage contract with the Sima family a long time ago, even if he wanted to trap Xie An, the protector deity, he should not let Chen Yurou dedicate himself on the way.
After all, the object of the marriage contract is the eldest son of the dignified Arashiyama King, and this kind of royal nobles value reputation the most, if they learn that the future young lady of their family is actually having an affair with a wild boy, then the matter will not be simple.
Chen Xiaoen would never have been unaware of this, but he still did it knowing the seriousness of the situation, what was his purpose?
"Alas, what are you thinking?" Liu Miao pestled Xie An and called him back from his contemplation.
"Oh, nothing, let's pick out the clothes first. ”
......
After some selection, Xie An spent five hundred taels to prepare three sets of spring clothes for each person, although the price is still not low, but to be honest, the quality of the clothes in this splendid hall is really good, and the five hundred taels are also worth the money.
Out of the Splendid Hall, everyone followed the route pointed out by the shopkeeper Dong to the horse farm outside Lanshan City.
They are still only minor monks in the condensation stage, and they can't fly directly like monks in the beading stage and above, and horseback riding is undoubtedly a better choice than walking, so the last thing they have to do today is to pick four good horses to walk.
The horse farm is called Lanshan Horse Farm, and it is also the only horse farm in Lanshan City, and the scale is not small, after all, it is the industry of Lanshan King, how can the scale be small?
However, although this Arashiyama Racecourse has a monopoly on the horse husbandry industry in Arashiyama Castle, the buying and selling price is also fair, and its reputation among merchants is also good.
Although this Lanshan Racecourse has always been known for its thoughtful service, the arrival of Xie An and his party was not only not received, but was blocked by the racecourse guys.
"Sorry, the racecourse is closed to the public today, so please come back another day. The man said very mechanically, with a blank expression, and it could be seen that he had said this sentence many times today, and now he was just repeating it numbly.
"Aren't you guys here claiming to be open all year round, why don't you let us in!" Liu Miao's impatient temperament couldn't stand it anymore, especially when the guy spoke, Mu Ran's expression made him very unhappy.
"This is the news from above, there are distinguished customers today, and they are not open!" The guy naturally didn't understand the horror of the few people in front of him, and when he saw Liu Miao getting angry, he also lost his temper, and pushed back in a more blunt tone. He has repeated this sentence more than a hundred times today, and at first he can maintain a respectful tone when facing customers who are going to buy horses, but when he arrives, his mouth is dry, and his mood is naturally not much better, and his attitude is naturally much worse.
Such a mortal actually dared to speak back, where could Liu Miao swallow this breath, and he was about to do it when the vitality fluctuations in his palm were in his hand, but fortunately, Xie An stopped him in time.
Xie Anxin secretly congratulated himself that he had come out, otherwise with Liu Miao's temperament, there might have been a conflict in that Splendid Hall, let alone here.
Just when Xie An pulled Liu Miao and the others to turn around and wanted to leave, the brainless guy said behind them, "Hey, within the boundaries of Lanshan City, you still dare to fight with me?"
Xie An stopped, he could clearly feel that Liu Miao's anger was about to be uncontrollable, and this time, he didn't hold Liu Miao again, but let go of his hand.
Before, it was because Liu Miao took the initiative to challenge the rules of the racecourse, after all, there was something wrong, and Xie An still stopped him in order to avoid extraneous branches. But now such a small horse farm guy actually spoke disrespectfully, and the dignity of being a cultivator did not allow them not to react in the slightest.
Naturally, Xie An was also a little angry!
