Chapter 87 Great Cloak
Zhou Ran smiled and nodded, "Hello, Shopkeeper Peng, I'm here to deliver the embroidery."

"Okay, Madam Zhou, please come upstairs."

Zhou Ran nodded, and just as he was about to go upstairs, a wealthy lady wearing a purple skirt and coat came over with her maid, stopped in front of them, and said to Zhou Ran with a proud look on her face: "What kind of embroidery makes Shopkeeper Peng like this?" Do you value it? It just so happens that there is nothing I like in this store. Why don't you show me your embroidery work? If it's still acceptable, I'll buy it."

Zhou Ran smiled slightly and said: "Linglong Pavilion has given money to this embroidery before, and now it belongs to Linglong Pavilion. If you want to see it, you have to ask shopkeeper Peng."

Shopkeeper Peng stepped forward with a smile and said: "Miss Pu San, I'm really sorry. The embroidery sent by this lady already has an owner. I hope that Miss Pu will forgive me."

Miss Pu San looked at Shopkeeper Peng unhappily and said, "What if I insist on seeing it?"

Shopkeeper Peng cupped his hands and said, "We at Linglong Pavilion really don't dare to offend the owner of this embroidery, a certain lady in Beijing. Please don't embarrass me, Miss Pu San."

"Mrs. from Jingzhong?" Miss Pu San snorted coldly: "Do you think I will believe it? What kind of good things does a lady from Jingzhong have never seen? She will be curious about the unremarkable embroidery embroidered by an embroiderer in a small place. Today, I still have to watch it.”

After saying that, Miss Pu San said to Zhou Ran in a commanding tone: "If you still want to hang out in Nanxing County, just take out the embroidery and show it to me."

Shopkeeper Peng also turned cold, "Miss Pu San..."

Zhou Ran glanced at Miss Pu San, smiled and said to Shopkeeper Peng: "Since Miss Pu San insists on seeing it, Shopkeeper Peng will let Miss Pu San take a look."

"This..." Shopkeeper Peng hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay then."

Zhou Ran then took out the painting "Cat Playing with Mantis" that she had embroidered from the box, and introduced with a smile: "This is a double-sided heterochromatic cat. The cat on the front is yellow, and the cat on the back is black and white. ."

As Zhou Ran showed off, Miss Pu San's eyes became brighter and brighter. Just when she opened her mouth to say: "I want this embroidery." Zhou Ran continued: "This embroidery is the flower of Linglong Pavilion." I bought it for three thousand taels of silver. If Miss Pu San wants it, she can consider buying it from Linglong Pavilion."

Miss Pu San's eyes widened, "Three thousand taels, are you taking it?"

Although the Pu family is quite wealthy, she is just a concubine of the Pu family and does not have much money in her hands.

Shopkeeper Peng spoke at the right time and said: "Miss Pu San is wrong. This double-sided embroidery with different colors is wanted by the nobles in Beijing. The nobles in Beijing gave it this price, which means that this double-sided embroidery with different colors is worth this price." "

"I'm afraid spending three thousand taels of silver to buy this thing will get your brain kicked by a donkey. Your Linglong Embroidery Workshop is just a black shop." Miss Pu San dropped these words and left angrily with the little maid.

After Miss Pu San disappeared at the door of the store, shopkeeper Peng wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said to Zhou Ran with admiration: "Ms. Zhou is really amazing, how do you know Miss Pu San won't spend money to buy this painting?" Embroidery.”

Zhou Ran said: "I'm not sure whether Miss Pu San will spend money to buy this embroidery."

"What if..."

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "This embroidery is not the one for Mrs. Anyuanhou. If Miss Pu San is willing to pay three thousand taels of silver, just sell it to her."

Shopkeeper Peng heard this and asked quickly: "What about the embroidery for Mrs. Anyuanhou?"

"Here." Zhou Ran took out the "Magnolia" and handed it to Shopkeeper Peng.

Shopkeeper Peng put it away immediately after reading it, "Ms. Zhou actually produced two embroidery works in such a short period of time. I really didn't expect it."

Zhou Ran said: "There are relatively few things on hand during this period."

Shopkeeper Peng nodded and said hesitantly: "Mrs. Zhou's embroidery skills are superb, and this painting "Cat Playing with Mantis" is even more lifelike and lifelike, but at this price..." Zhou Ran understood and said: "The three thousand taels of silver just now are just for me. Just say it casually.”

Shopkeeper Peng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then our Linglong Embroidery Studio will give Madam Zhou the same price as the previous two paintings for "Cat Playing with Mantis". What does Madam Zhou think?"

"Isn't this a bit much?"

Zhou Ran didn't put as much effort into this piece of "Cat Playing with Mantis" as the previous two pieces of double-sided embroidery in different colors. She was a little embarrassed to accept so much money.

Shopkeeper Peng smiled and said: "Mrs. Zhou, there is no need to refuse, this is our Linglong Embroidery Workshop's intention."

Since Shopkeeper Peng has said this, Zhou Ran will naturally not refuse: "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Peng."

After coming out of Linglong Embroidery Workshop, Zhou Ran was going to go home directly, but when passing by a clothing store, Zhou Ran's eyes were caught by a large cloak hanging in the store.

In the evening, when Ye Ximing returned home, he saw the moon-white cloak with a ring of white fox fur in the room. He looked at Zhou Ran expectantly and nervously.

Zhou Ran said softly: "I saw it when I passed by today. I thought it suited you well, so I bought it. You can try it to see if it suits you."

"It must be suitable." Ye Ximing said with the corner of his mouth raised, and then he picked up the big cloak and put it on with great care, shook his sleeves, smoothed the wrinkles, looked up at Zhou Ran, and asked: "Does it look good? "

Zhou Ran nodded. She really had good eyesight. What does it mean to be a young master? He is so handsome that he is unparalleled.

It looks good, but what Zhou Ran is more concerned about is: "Is it warm?"

"It's warm, it's very warm." Ye Ximing touched the cloak cherishingly and said, "But this cloak costs a lot of money, right?"

Zhou Ran smiled and shook her head, "Not much money."

She just got two thousand taels of silver today. Although this cloak is not cheap, it is nothing but trivial to her.

Ye Ximing knew that Zhou Ran had plenty of money, so he didn't dwell on this matter anymore. He just thought that it was almost the end of the year and Liu Wenzhuo's caravan would be back. By then, he would have money in his hands, and he could hand over all the money. Give it to A-ran, and by the way, you can go see if the caravan has brought back any good things, and pick out a few good ones for A-ran.

The next day, Ye Ximing wore this big cloak and went out to Mr. Zou's home. He happened to meet Dean Meng and Wei Yan coming to visit.

Wei Yan saw Ye Ximing put his hand on his shoulder and teased: "Where did this noble young master come from?"

Ye Ximing took Wei Yan's hand, patted his clothes gently, and said with a warning: "Don't touch it!"

Wei Yan was surprised and said: "Isn't it? You can't even touch it. Is this dress made by my sister-in-law herself?"

A few days ago, Ye Ximing was wearing the duck-down-filled robe that Zhou Ran made for him last year. Wei Yan wanted to touch it, but Ye Ximing swatted it away.

Ye Ximing raised the corners of his lips and said with a hint of showoff: "I didn't make it, but it was given to me by my wife."

Wei Yan made a "tsk" sound with toothache, thinking what's so great, he would have a wife soon.
