Chapter 99 The Discovery of the Garment Store
However, since the weather is indeed still a bit cold, and she found another excuse, if she really wanted to wear a spring shirt to go back, she would inevitably be told by Yinhong and Luliu again.

But the man had good intentions, and she couldn't refute it, so after much deliberation, she finally asked for a pair of winter clothes and spring clothes.

But she didn't choose the winter clothes just now, but specifically asked the shopkeeper if there were any winter clothes with Chen cotton inside, she didn't need to be too warm.

The shopkeeper thought she didn't have a lot of money, so he didn't laugh at her. He just said that there were a few leftovers from last year, so he went to get them for her.Because it is old cotton, the price is cheaper than the winter clothes just now, two hundred cash for a suit.

Wen Shu chose the slightly cheaper light yellow spring shirt again, and the two clothes cost nearly [-] cash.When I think of the lost suit, adding up the two ends, I lost a total of nearly [-] yuan, and my heart hurts again.

No, she has to earn the money back quickly.

When it was time to pay, two more people came into the shop, a man and a woman, both in their twenties and in their thirties.

The woman was wearing winter clothes, but she kept rubbing her hands since she came in, and her complexion turned slightly pale, but the man next to her looked normal.

He stepped into the door and asked loudly: "Shopkeeper, is our custom-made long jacket ready?"

The chubby shopkeeper smiled calmly: "It's finished, it's ready, I'm waiting for you to get it." Then, he took out a thick long coat from a large wooden cabinet behind him. jacket.

It's really long and thick, twice as thick as a normal winter coat, and it's long enough to reach your ankles.

The man nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the woman and said, "Go inside and try it, if it doesn't fit, let them change it."

The woman nodded, took the thick padded jacket from the shopkeeper, and went to the fitting place in the back. Wen Shu just watched silently.

After a while, the daughter came out wearing the long padded jacket. The overall appearance was a little big, and the man wanted to change it, but the woman stopped him: "No, let's do it like this. If it's bigger, it's bigger. In this way, you can wear a jacket under it, and it’s also very cold to change it back and forth.”

The man was helpless, so he said to the shopkeeper: "Then we will take it back first, and if we still feel that it is too big, we will take it back and change it."

The fat shopkeeper was also very talkative, nodding repeatedly.

After they left, Wen Shu looked at the shopkeeper who lowered his head to wrap her clothes, rolled his eyes twice, and pretended to be curious: "Shopkeeper, don't you people here are particularly afraid of the cold? I see that lady just now, Even though they are wearing such thick clothes, why do they still look very cold?"

The fat shopkeeper raised his head with a smile and said: "This little lady has misunderstood. There are very few people who are afraid of the cold like Mrs. Bao, and Mrs. Bao is not so afraid of the cold at the beginning. Such."

"Oh." Wen Shu nodded, and then said seemingly unintentionally: "I don't know if the lady's house is far away. If it is far, her husband knows that she is afraid of the cold and brought her here, which is too inconsiderate." gone."

"It's not far away. When you get out of this street, the first one in the alley on the right is there. It takes only a moment to walk there. And people who are afraid of the cold need to move more to keep their bodies warm."

"That's true." Wen Shu responded with a smile, took the clothes wrapped by the shopkeeper, and left.

After leaving the tailor shop, she didn't go back directly.Instead, according to the address given by the shopkeeper, he turned out of this small street and went to the right alley to find the house of the lady who was afraid of Leng.

The first room at the alley?Wen Shu turned his gaze to the house on the right.

The house is not big, it is a common folk house in this place, but by comparing with the gates of the neighbors on the left and right, it can be seen that the life of this family is not bad, at least there is no shortage of food and clothing.

"Do you feel warmer with this extended padded jacket on your body?" A faint voice came from outside the courtyard, it was the man's voice.

"It's really warmer." A weak female voice complained a little, "It's just that the long coat is too long and thick, it's a bit bulky to wear, and it's not easy to stretch the arms."

"If it's not easy to stretch, then don't stretch. Anyway, there's not much work for you to do at home. Just take good care of your body. If you still feel cold, hold a hand stove."

Intermittent voices came from inside, Wen Shu knew he was right, touched his chin in satisfaction, turned around and left briskly.

Back at Li's Mansion, Miss Lu and Yinhong went somewhere, only Cook Wang and her two little maids were busy with ingredients in the yard.

Seeing her come in, Mrs. Wang just nodded politely, then lowered her head and went about her own business again.

Wen Shu just smiled and went back to the room.

Back in the room, she immediately changed the light green jacket and put on the light yellow spring shirt she just bought.As soon as she took off the stuffy padded jacket, she felt her whole body come alive.

Folding Luliu's clothes and putting them on the bedside, Wen Shu took out a load of red fruits from the cabinet, then looked at Cook Wang who was busy under the eaves of the kitchen, and finally decided not to wash it, and let the buyer do it by himself go.

After making up her mind, she carried her burden and was about to go out, but when she got to the door, she turned around and put the winter coat she just bought over the spring shirt as if she remembered something.

She wanted to go outside in a spring shirt, but she hadn't left Li's mansion yet. Her unique dress would definitely attract strange looks from others, and she was even more afraid of meeting Miss Lu and Yinhong, Luliu, and others on the way. how to explain.

So she had no choice but to put on the winter clothes outside against the scorching heat. Fortunately, the cotton clothes were stuffed with old cotton, which was cooler than Luliu's winter clothes.

Carrying her burden, she walked lightly towards the outside of the mansion, but on the way, as she expected, she bumped into Miss Lu and the others.

Seeing that she was about to go out with a burden on her back, Lu Xingwan said in surprise: "Why are you going out again, have you bought clothes yet?" He looked at the winter clothes on her body while talking.

"I bought it, but I forgot to try it on in the store just now. When I came back to try it on, I found that the pants were a little too big, so I thought about using it to change it."

Hearing that Miss Lu didn't ask any more questions, she just told her to come back earlier, saying that Mrs. Wang would make delicious food at noon, and let her go.

After leaving the mansion, Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had the foresight to put on her winter clothes. Otherwise, she might have to be criticized based on the way Yinhong and Luliu looked at her just now.

Now that she has no acquaintances, she doesn't feel wronged anymore. She took off her winter clothes and took them in her hands, then walked to the grocery store not far away.

"Brother, do you sell oiled paper in the store?"

"Yes, how much does the young lady want?" The young man who looked after the shop stepped forward and asked.

Wen Shu thought for a while and asked, "Is the oiled paper in the store big or planted, how do you sell it?"

"The big one costs five cents a piece. If the lady wants to plant it, I can plant it for you, but it will cost one penny for manual work."

Wen Shu silently felt the weight of the burden. A load of red fruits weighed about five catties. She only ate a handful yesterday, and she was not afraid of the cold in about two taels, so this large burden should be divided into 25 portions.

And the shop boy has raw paper in his hand, and if he wants to plant it into oil paper that can wrap two taels of fruit, he can only plant about twenty sheets.
After some consideration, she decided to ask for three sheets of raw paper. After all, there was still a bag in the room, and the manual cost was so much whether it was planting one sheet or ten sheets.

Of course she can't waste it!
