Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty
Chapter 151
The plaque of this firm is called "Chen Shenli Weaving", which should be a business gang united by three families. They don't just open a front like other shops, they have a whole yard full of shops. The shop outside receives ordinary customers, and there is a wooden and silk screen in the depth. From the screen, there are wing rooms on the left and right, and an attic, all of which are full of various materials, brocades, and ready-made clothes. The house inside is the warehouse.
It seems that this is the main store, and there are branches in other parts of Tokyo and other cities. Mrs. Li just visited here, and then remembered that she had seen this name in other places; seeing that the environment was quiet, and the shopkeepers were almost all women, she couldn't help but came in to have a look for herself. I thought in my heart that if the material is good and attractive, I can send people here to buy clothes in the future.
Completely unprepared, he bumped into Guo Shao. Could this be the fate in the legend?
But Mrs. Li saw that there was a thick and big belly man beside Guo Shao. This guy was called Luo Mengzi. All the generals she had met were her father's generals. Mrs. Li thought that she was bumped into by her father and Guo Shao's colleagues again, and she was embarrassed, so she told San'er, a maid beside her, to hide behind the screen and not go out.
Unexpectedly, the sound of talking and laughing outside was getting closer and closer, and the two big men actually walked in.
Mrs. Li hurriedly grabbed the maid's hand and walked up the veranda inside. The store was full of goods on display, but there was no place where people were not allowed to enter. She suddenly saw a wing room filled with red, green and green things that are women's personal belongings, and she thought: Big men are always embarrassed to come here. She hurried in.
"My lady wants to choose clothes?" The middle-aged woman who was doing needlework inside stood up, her accent was Wu dialect. She smiled and looked Mrs. Li up and down, probably seeing that she was not a merchant who came to discuss business.
Madam Li blushed and asked: "You are full of women's clothes here, why would a man come in?"
The woman smiled and said, "It's not unusual. Some guests dote on their wives and concubines or women who have a secret tryst. It's normal to buy something to give away. We open the door to do business, and it's not uncommon for men to buy women's things."
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and said, "We are sorry to bump into the man here, is there a place to hide, I will pick something after they leave."
The woman came over, opened a curtain and said: "There is a side room here, lady, sit down first, and I will make you a cup of tea later."
Mrs. Li stretched her head to look, it was a very bright room with stools and tea tables inside, she nodded and said, "Okay."
She never expected that shortly after she entered the ear room, she heard Guo Shao's voice... He actually came to the room full of women's personal belongings! Don't you know how to be ashamed? And there was that big-bellied Luo Mengzi beside him.
Hearing the voice of talking, they were followed by a woman from a shop. The woman said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know the size. Some women don't need the size, such as shawls. There are breasts and belly wraps here. The straps can be adjusted. If you know how fat or thin you are, you can buy a few to try. If you think it is good, you can send someone to us. We will send someone to the house to measure and order."
The woman spoke eloquently, and spoke very neatly: "Our shop has been in business for decades, and we have all kinds of materials, including Shu brocade, Yun brocade, Suzhou top-grade cotton and other southern countries' fabrics. The fabrics that were tribute to the court may not be as complete and exquisite as ours. The weavers in the shop are carefully selected and skilled in this line of work. The stitches and tailoring are impeccable."
"Hehe, it must be very expensive if you say it so well?" Luo Mengzi said in a voice.
The woman said: "One penny and one inch of goods are expensive, of course there is a reason why they are expensive."
Guo Shao's voice said: "As long as she is worth it, we have to be willing."
The woman said with a smile: "What the distinguished guest said is very true. This is the reason. It's hard to buy a beautiful woman with a thousand dollars. Smile, hehe." Guo Shao's voice said: "Okay! Just for you, choose a few kinds of silk and underwear, and you want the best."
Then I heard Guo Shao gossip outside, mentioning Yulian.
Lady Li was taken aback when she heard this, she had heard about Yulian...wasn't she a concubine of Brother Shao, and she heard that she was very miserable in the market and married. For such a woman, brother Shao treats her so well?
After chatting outside for a while, Guo Shao was very careful in his selection, asking all the things for women without any shyness... and then he seemed to choose two things.
When it came to the price later, Luo Mengzi was very surprised: "How much does such a piece of cloth cost so much? I can buy ten bolts of silk and satin for this price, and I'm afraid the clothes I made will last me a lifetime!"
Guo Shao scolded with a smile, and then he said: "It's not easy for Yulian at home...I have to buy expensive ones for her, otherwise she will definitely be reluctant."
The woman smiled and said, "Your Madam is really enviable. It must be that she has accumulated a lot of evil virtues in her previous life."
Luo Mengzi said: "That is, that is. I can't speak well, such a piece of cloth can buy three or two innocent ladies."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she felt angry and sour. That Yulian doesn't know how she can compare to herself, why Brother Shao treats her so well, but treats me indifferently? Where did I offend him!
She wondered: Could it be that what the woman said about accumulating yin virtues... really accumulated virtues in previous lives? Then in my previous life, did I die without paying back the money owed to Brother Shao, and I will pay off the debt in this life? I feel really uncomfortable in my heart, I want to give up but I don't want to, and I can't get what I want, hanging in the air.
After a while, Brother Shao bought something and left.
Only then did Mrs. Li come out of the ear room, her face turned red and white. The woman who was doing needlework here just now said: "I'm gone. The customer just now was really generous. He bought two of them at once. The sales of those few items are very limited in Dazhou. Only rich or expensive people are willing to spend money. They are the same as last time. The master sent his personal attendants to come to the door several times to make them."
"What kind of thing?" Mrs. Li asked coldly.
The woman hurriedly found a sandalwood box from the box inside, which seemed to hold some kind of jewelry. Upon seeing it, Mrs. Li knew immediately that it was indeed more expensive than ordinary jewels, with glittering gold and very bright colors.
Mrs. Li couldn't afford this money. Although her father was a general, his family wealth was not endless, and Mrs. Li was only a junior, so she had to ask her elders for expenses. Usually there is no shortage of food and clothing, but it is still a lot of pressure to have such a luxury.
But she said angrily: "Is it comfortable to wear such a heavy thing? A serious woman would wear such a fancy thing!"
The woman hurriedly said: "You can't say that, only decent ladies wear it, and you can't see it when you wear it... But you have to deliberately want people to see it. If you wear a collar with a lower collar, you can show it. People who wear this kind of clothes are often rich and noble. The women and girls who are with you can tell that it is not something that is easy to see. Who doesn't envy it? What's wrong with it?"
"Vulgar, unbearably vulgar!" Mrs. Li stomped her feet and went out.
Mrs. Li went straight out of the shop, called for her own carriage to come over, got in the carriage and left.
After returning home, Li Chuyun came straight back after a while. He first asked his servant to help him remove his armor, and then went straight into the inner house. Mrs. Li then went into the house to meet her father, serving tea and water as a filial piety.
At this moment, Li Chuyun casually mentioned to his wife: "My lord really wants to marry Wei Wang Fu's family. I just guessed this way from what Luo Yanhuan said before; I don't want him to go to Hebei, everything is settled. The matchmaker is the elder sister of General Gao Huaide's family..."
Lady Li was stunned for a moment.
The madam didn't pay attention to the way her daughter's face suddenly turned pale, and said calmly: "Didn't your husband mention that he was originally promoted by the empress, and now he is in an important position, the empress simply let him marry the Fu family, it will definitely be very expensive in the future."
"Kang!" The cracking sound of the teacup startled Li Chuyun and his wife, and they all turned their heads to look at Li Niangzi at the same time.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Chuyun frowned.
Mrs. Li said: "My lord is..."
Li Chuyun said: "Who else can there be, Guo Shao, the commander of the bodyguard. Haven't you let go? My father told you a long time ago, you can't just think about yourself... The marriage between Guo Shao and the Fu family is beneficial to us and the brothers."
Li Niangzi lowered her head and reached out her hand in a panic to pick up the broken porcelain. Bai Shengsheng's fingertip was cut without paying attention, leaving a finger with blood.
"Oh my god!" Madam was anxious, she stood up all of a sudden, "Come on... why are you picking it up, it just fell off, your father and I didn't blame you."
"I..." Suddenly, I saw a big drop of tears dripping on the blood on my finger. She choked up and said, "It hurts so much." She couldn't tell whether it was the pain in the wound or the pain in her heart.
Li Chuyun scolded distressedly: "It's your own fault!"
The wife scolded Li Chuyun again: "My daughter is hurt like that, don't say a few words!" After that, she hurried forward and wrapped a handkerchief around Mrs. Li's fingers, and comforted her dearly.
Li Chuyun frowned and said: "Just a little injury, you get nervous like that. Fortunately, it is my Li Chuyun's family. You are used to it. Look who can control her now? You must want what you want. Eight horses can't pull it back!"
The madam said angrily: "My daughter is obedient enough, when is she not sensible?"
"You have to be disciplined! I just met her once. Is it necessary to see her like that?" Li Chuyun said angrily, "If something goes wrong, how can I put my old face in front of my brothers?"
The madam said distressedly: "Brother Shao thinks highly of your husband? Our family is not a shady family. Who else can't match a daughter who looks like this? Or..."
"Thank you for being able to speak!" Li Chuyun scolded, "There is a rule in this world that pesters others to marry their own daughters? If you say it, you will laugh out loud! Besides, the lord will marry the Fu family, and we will go to Hebei to talk about it in person. The matchmaker is a family member of the general's family, and it has been agreed; now everyone knows... Could the lord go back on his word? Do you know how serious this is? A woman's opinion!"
At this moment, Mrs. Li suddenly said coldly: "Father, mother, don't quarrel. I know I'm wrong, and I'm not an ignorant person. I just heard it all at once, and I was a little surprised...Father, don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you again."
