Da Suining

Chapter 68 Robes
"What request?"

"When will you comb my hair again?" Lu Yu folded his arms and leaned against the wall, staring at Xiang Suining intently.

Xiang Sui would rather not be his mother.

The water in the Yong'an River has risen several times, and the peach blossoms in the mountains are in full bloom. When the peach blossoms are exhausted, those half-thick shirts will be put into the cages.

Mrs. Xiang's eyesight is bad, and she doesn't like the dark blue or dark yellow jackets she made a few years ago. It just so happens that it's time to buy new clothes in the house. This season is the best time to make a few sets of light summer shirts.

People from Liuqufang handed over the new style, and there was also a picture book, the little lady in the picture was wearing a chive green tulle shirt, tied with an off-white ribbon, elegant and gentle, very beautiful.

It is said that this is made of smoked gauze newly introduced from the south. This gauze is thin and slippery, and it is extremely cool to wear. When walking, the pomegranate skirt made of tulle is either green or red, like fog or morning glow, and it sets off many people. A bit of immortality.

Xiang Yan had gone to pick them two days ago.

Mrs. Xiang urged her twice before Xiang Suining went to Liuyunfang to get a tailor-made style.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he took a lot of marriage and childbearing. Perhaps it was because the population of Qingcheng was not prosperous before, so the emperor decided to take the lead and take the lead. He worked hard day and night, and gave birth to seven or eight sons and several sons in one go. Princess, the law has been made again, it is a crime not to marry after the age of 16, and the whole family will sit together.Therefore, the young Shaoai from Xuanguo obediently got married so that the whole family would not have to eat in prison. I have to buy one from a remote outer border to recharge.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of the whole country, Xuanguo's population has almost halved in the past few decades.

No, dozens of streets and alleys in Qingcheng were crowded with people.When she came to Liuyunfang, Xiang Suining was almost kicked out of her shoes. When she lowered her head and lifted her shoes, two strong men blocked her way with sticks.

I don't know why, when Liuyunfang also hired security guards?

"There are distinguished guests inside, you are not allowed in." The strong man swung his mallet.

It is not surprising that Liuyunfang often has distinguished guests.

Xiang Suining returned to the carriage and waited.

After a while, the old bustard and the second prince came out of Chunhualou.

The old bustard respectfully followed behind the second prince, Guo Kai, who was wearing a dark orange robe with wide sleeves, embroidered with a pattern of a lion rolling a hydrangea. It seemed to jump out of Cheng's robe. His dark orange robe had holes in it, and not many people usually wear this color.

"I heard that the fire girl you bought a few days ago ran away? And two of them ran away at once?" Guo Kai stopped on the steps of Liuyunfang.

The old bustard slapped herself backhandedly: "You made the second prince laugh, I am becoming more and more useless, I can't even watch the newly bought girl's movies, they ran away over the wall, and lost four or fifty taels of silver .”

"It's really interesting that someone can escape from under your nose. When you catch him back, let me know. I can go and meet. I like to deal with such disobedient and disobedient little girls."

"Yes Yes."

"I asked you to go to the prime minister's house to find trouble, can you go?"

"I don't have time these days..."

Guo Cheng took the mallet from his entourage, raised it and swung it, causing the old bustard to roll down the steps. The old bustard didn't know that Guo Kai's hammer could kill her.

"Ah Shui's matter, isn't the deed of selling oneself in your hands? You just go to the prime minister's mansion to ask for someone."

"The second prince explained it like this, so I will do it this way. Tomorrow, I will go to the prime minister's mansion to trouble the second girl."

Guo Kai whispered a few more words to the old bustard, and the old bustard sent Guo Cheng away respectfully, and then returned by himself in the carriage.

Liuyunfang is a place that pays attention to freshness. Every spring, summer clothes will be made. Hearing that Liuyunfang has new materials, the old bustard immediately came to order four or five pieces of clothes. Stop, she was so scared that her palms were wet with sweat.

After they had gone far, Xiang Suining got out of the carriage, seeing no one following him, he went to Liuyunfang.

There were a lot of people in Liuyunfang, she pretended to look at the materials for a while, and then chose a few styles of clothes, by the way, she picked some clothes with silver thread for Mrs. Xiang, and asked Liuyunfang to make them and send them to Xiangfu as soon as possible.

Tong Siyue was studying at the counter to do the accounting, because her mother was a veteran in the business, so she didn't shy away from having her daughter help out in the store. In the past few months, Tong Siyue's calculations have been very neat.

She is in charge of keeping accounts. She has been in touch with other tailor-made work for a long time. She has also learned embroidery for a while.But when Xiang Suining came, Tong Siyue went out happily and left the abacus behind.

There are people coming and going in Liuyunfang, so it's inconvenient to talk, so Xiang Suining hesitated to speak.

Tong Siyue was smart, and told the maidservant Chang Sheng: "You can tell my mother later that I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon."

Xiang Suining and Tong Siyue went to the teahouse to chat.

After two cups of tea, Tong Siyue took Xiang Suining's hand: "Sister, if you have something to say, just say it, don't invite me to drink tea."

"I want to ask you to make clothes."

"My sister can have whatever clothes she wants. With me here, the price will be the most fair for you."

"Not the clothes I'm wearing."

"Ok?"

"It's the clothes I'm wearing." Xiang Suining thought for a while before expressing clearly: "I want you to make a set of clothes that other people wear and I will wear them."

"Which girl's clothes are your sister wearing? Just let me take a look, and I promise to make exactly the same one for my sister."

"Just now the bustard from Chunhualou went to Liuyunfang with a young master, did you see their clothes?"

The old bustard of Chunhualou is a big client of Liuyunfang, and Tong Siyue's mother, Mrs. Su, was supposed to greet her in person, but she also heard that the young master Guo Kai is the emperor's own son, the second prince of Xuanguo, and she dared not treat her poorly. After serving tea and fruits, he carefully stood aside and waited on him personally.

Tong Siyue also quietly looked at the old bustard and the second prince. Hearing from the second prince, it seemed that it belonged to some kind of eldest prince in the palace. He got a new dress and put it on and was praised by the emperor. It is said that it was made by Liuyunfang. , he came to see what Liuyunfang was.

The second prince was not in the mood to watch Liuyunfang, and talked to the old bustard for a while, and for a while, he disliked the tea in Liuyunfang for being too old, and for a while, he thought that the tea in Liuyunfang was too hard, not comparable to the ones in the palace.

God, the second prince entered Liuyunfang without spending a penny, drank tea and ate fruits for nothing, and still felt that it was not to his appetite.

Tong Siyue secretly cast a glance at him.

Unexpectedly, Guo Kai happily accepted Tong Siyue's sharp eyes, and greeted Tong Siyue with a smile to come forward and pour tea for him. On his robe, he pointed to the fruit between his legs and asked Tong Siyue to pick it up and feed it to him.

Tong Siyue quit and hid behind the cabinet angrily.

Guo Kai's eyes were like threads, entangled Tong Siyue tightly, and before leaving, he leaned in front of Tong Siyue and took a deep smell: "This lady from Liuyunfang is really fragrant. "

So disgusting.

Tong Siyue wished she could change her clothes.

I always feel that Guo Kai has already molested her a hundred times just by looking at her.

Now mentioning Guo Kai, Tong Siyue still feels tightness in his chest: "I saw his clothes, they look real, I know how many kinds of silk threads are used for the lion rolling hydrangea on his robe, my mother and embroiderer They all saw it."

"Can you make me a dress he was wearing just now? I have the money."

"If it's someone else, I absolutely don't agree. That person hates him very much. I don't want to make his clothes anyway. Since it's what my sister needs, don't worry, sister. Give us four days. At this time after four days , you just come and get it."

Tong Siyue talks about loyalty and does what he says.

The most important thing is that she is very smart. She has been in Liuyunfang since she was a child, and she has a keen insight into the embroidery stitches and the colors of the fabrics.

Four days later, when Xiang Suining came to pick it up, he was taken aback. The color, stitching, and pattern of the robe were exactly the same as the one Guo Kai was wearing that day.

With this clothes, it will be much easier.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually receded, and the eaves and ridges of the houses in Qingcheng began to turn blue-black.

The flower boat on the Yong'an River moved slowly, and the boatman took down the lantern and prepared to light it.

It was almost Youshi, and the sky was dark.

A green-covered carriage drove slowly to the alley where Chunhualou was located. The driver flicked his whip, and the carriage almost reached the steps of Chunhualou.

Even dignitaries have to get off the car when they come to this kind of place, it's the first time I've seen someone so arrogant.

The big teapot trotted over: "What are you doing? If you are looking for a girl, get out of the car and please come inside. If you go to the wrong place, hurry up and don't delay our reception."

"Let your masters come out to meet my master."

"The head of our family came out to see you? What are your identities?"

The coachman said: "When you see our young master, you still have to salute. If you talk too much, we will leave."

Da Teapot couldn't figure out the identities of the two, so he was afraid of offending the nobleman, so he had to invite the old bustard.

The madam was still in doubt, but the coachman had already lifted the curtain respectfully. The people in the cab were wearing dark orange gowns embroidered with lions and balls. Although the halo of the lantern was dim and yellow, the madam could recognize the expensive clothes in the sedan chair. It is very clear that Qingcheng is the only one, the second prince in the palace.

In the past, the second prince would go straight in with a long knife, but today he sat quietly and did not get down. The curtain lifted by the coachman just blocked the faces of the people in the car.

"Second prince—please get off the car, the girls are waiting inside."

"Hush." ​​The coachman looked around: "Recently, the management is tight, and there are a lot of gossips. The guards are still patrolling nearby. Our master said, we will go in after the limelight."

"Yes."

"Our master wants to see something."

"what?"

"Our master wants to see Miss Ah Shui's contract of sale."

Everything was answered by the coachman, and the people in the carriage remained silent.

The old bustard was a little hesitant, feeling that Guo Cheng was different today, so he was puzzled, so he asked one more question: "Why is the second prince sitting so dry and not talking?"

"Master just took a look at Miss Ah Shui's deed of selling herself. He didn't take it away. I will return it to you after you have a look. Why are you asking so many things?"

That's right, it's just for a look, he is an imposing prince, what's the use of Ah Shui's contract of prostitution, if he doesn't show it, he will offend others instead.

The old bustard ran back to the Chunhua Building and took out a stack of deeds from a lampshade. The lampshade looked like it was used for lighting at night, but in fact there were no candles in it, and it had never been lit. It was just left empty.

From the deed of prostitution, Ah Shui's deed of prostitution was drawn out, and the madam handed it to the coachman herself, and the coachman handed it to the people in the carriage.

The old bustard specially brought a lamp to illuminate it, one is to see the second prince Guo clearly, and the other is to let the second prince see the words on the deed of sale clearly.

The people in the car hadn't opened the contract of contract, the old bustard said: "She was dying, I saved her life, she sold herself voluntarily, with this contract, she is mine, If I let her give birth, she will live, if I let her die, she will die, Second Prince, it is clearly written on it, right?"

The people in the car folded the deed of prostitution and handed it to the driver.

The coachman reached out and handed the deed of sale to the old bustard, who turned her head and pointed to the Chunhua building and said, "Don't you really want to go in and play for a while? They are beating drums, passing flowers and betting on wine right now. It's the bustling time, and the two jars of wine have bottomed out. I just had someone send two more jars, the girls are also ready-made, and the table is also hot."

Just as the old bustard turned his head to speak, the coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage turned around, like a shadow, like a gust of wind slipping away from the door of Chunhualou, so quickly, no one could react.

The old bustard was even more surprised, she was so busy trying to figure things out, but she still hadn't received the deed of prostitution.

"My deed of sale—the deed of sale—" The old bustard ran down the steps, holding up her skirt and chasing after him, but there was no sign of the carriage.

She had also met Guo Kai before, Guo Kai was a man who was not deep in the city, and his bad was so obvious, it was very strange that he was sitting in the carriage in a gentle manner tonight, looking like a lady.

The carriage came and went in a strange way.

By the way, although the clothes of the people in the car and Guo Kai are the same, the people in the car are obviously very thin.

How could Guo Cheng become so thin in one day?
In the end it was negligent.

The old bustard called the big teapot again: "Quick, quick, get on the carriage, chase the car in front of me, chase—"

The road is long and the street lights are far away.

Four or five alleys away from Chunhua Building, at a remote corner, the carriage stopped.

The coachman lifted the curtain, put down the footstool and helped Xiang Suining get out of the car: "Second Miss, it's getting dark, be careful where you step."

"Thank you, Liu Hu." Xiang Suining accepted the contract of prostitution he handed over.

Liu Hu is the head of Qiniang's family, and he contributed a lot to getting the contract of sale this time.

Hiring a coachman for no reason to arrange a contract of sale, if he fails, he might be beaten severely. No coachman is willing to take this risk, and strangers may not believe it.

After what happened last time, Liu Hu gave Xiang Suining a high look. Xiang Suining explained the matter to him, and he agreed without asking any questions.

At night, the sound of horseshoes was carried far away on the long street, and if you ran down in a carriage, the more people you saw, the greater the risk of exposure, Xiang Suining got out of the car and asked Liu Hu to drive back, or walk alone, Or change to a carriage, the target is small, the sky is dark, and it is easy to hide.
