Chapter 387 Do You Really Think of Me as a Horse?
"Ouch!" Chu Nanyue grabbed Xiao Hanye's ear and called him to stop. Xiao Hanye put her down unhappily and said, "Do you really think I'm a horse?"
Chu Nanyue said with a smile: "Don't be angry, just have some fun, I'll buy you two more pieces of clothes worth 100 taels later!"
When he heard that the clothes cost one hundred taels, the shopkeeper immediately came forward and said, "Sir, please come to the private room."
This place is not like the capital city where nobles live, and clothes that cost one hundred taels are already very expensive.
Xiao Hanye was amused by Chu Nanyue's words. He shook his head helplessly and followed her into the private room.
Chu Nanyue helped Xiao Hanye sit on the chair, and then told Jiang Yan, "Jiang Yan, pick out a set for Leng Jiu and Si Zhu."
Sizhu still prefers men's clothing, so let Jiang Yan, a man, do it for her.
As for Xiaotao and hers, let her choose.
Although Jiang Yan still had a shadow over buying clothes, he still had to buy them. After Chu Nanyue's reminder, he realized that they were not only short of clothes, but also shoes. So he gritted his teeth and said, "Madam Wang..., can each of us add another pair of shoes?"
Chu Nanyue subconsciously looked at the shoes on his feet, and saw that they were worn out to the point of exposing his toes. She couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Don't you all have silver on you? Do you still need to ask me about such a small matter?"
Are you sure these aren't a group of low-energy, high-yield children?
Jiang Yan heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he explained: "Madam, we do have enough money to buy some clothes and shoes, but since we usually don't do these things, and we can survive in any environment, we neglected it for a while."
Normally, these things are distributed to them by the palace.
They naturally got used to the life of wearing what they had and making do with what they didn't.
Chu Nanyue held her forehead with her hand: "In that case, then you should have three sets of clothes for each part of your body. Remember to choose comfortable and durable ones, not just those that look good."
Jiang Yan nodded gratefully, then leaned over and went to the outer room.
Naturally, their clothes have to be selected in the cheap area outside.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hanye also stood up and said, "Ayue, let's go outside to choose as well."
He has never cared about these external things, as long as he was comfortable and decent. In the past, given his status, it was understandable for him to buy clothes that suited his status. But now, he clearly saw how hard it was for Chu Nanyue to earn money, so how could he buy clothes that cost one hundred taels each?
Chu Nanyue, however, fell in love with a gorgeous crimson purple dress that was hanging in a prominent position. The dress was embroidered with exquisite patterns and the fabric was as smooth as silk. It was obvious at first glance that it was top-quality goods.
She walked to the gorgeous dress, stroked it gently, and her eyes lit up: "Aye, this crimson purple dress suits you, take this one!"
She saw that the length was just right and it would definitely look stunning on Xiao Hanye.
Seeing Xiao Hanye frowning, she continued, "I know you only like black, but this crimson purple really suits you. Besides, this is a couple's outfit. There's also a women's outfit of the same color next to it. We can wear them together when we entertain Master Ji."
This was all a cover-up. She just didn't want him to wear black again because she couldn't see clearly when black was stained with blood.
Just like that day in the palace, he was clearly seriously injured, but she couldn't see clearly...
But she didn't understand that the reason why Xiao Hanye wore black was that he would never show his vulnerable side to others, because even if black clothes were stained with blood, it would not be easily noticed.
On the battlefield, he was used to wearing black clothes to cover his wounds and prevent the enemy from seeing his weakness. When night fell, black became his protective color, allowing him to hide his tracks in the darkness...
But he would never argue with Chu Nanyue over a piece of clothing, especially when he heard her say that this was a couple's outfit, so he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, since you like it, then buy it."
Seeing that he agreed, Chu Nanyue asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, how much are these two clothes?"
"Oh, young lady, you have a really good eye. These two pieces of gorgeous clothing are the treasures of our store. The materials are all the best Shu brocade at the moment, and the cotton inside is the new cotton from last autumn, which weighs two kilograms. The price is quite suitable, one hundred taels of silver each, whoever buys it will be happy!"
Chu Nanyue touched it and found it was indeed soft and warm, and even better than the one hundred taels of clothing Jiang Yan bought last time, but there was no chance of bargaining.
So, she slowly said, "Boss, to be honest, I originally only wanted to buy a men's suit. The women's suit was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision, and I can buy it or not, so can you give me a reasonable price?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, a shrewd look flashed in his eyes. The more Chu Nanyue said this, the more it showed that she really liked this dress, so he said with difficulty: "Madam, you can see that the material and workmanship of this dress are first-class, and it is also a couple's dress. The price is indeed quite affordable. However, since you like it so much, I am willing to give you a proper discount and give you two pairs of shoes of the same style and color!"
After saying this, he was about to lead Chu Nanyue out.
Chu Nanyue naturally refused to go: "I think these two pairs of shoes are nice, why not give them to us!"
When the shopkeeper saw it, veins on his forehead throbbed, and he thought that this young lady was really knowledgeable, because the two pairs of shoes she liked were both high-end products costing ten taels a pair!
And the ones outside cost less than a hundred coins a pair!
So, he refused again and again: "Madam, this is not suitable. We will not make any money this way."
Chu Nanyue replied: "In fact, couple clothing is not easy to sell. It must be quite difficult for the shopkeeper to meet suitable couple customers like us. Why don't you help us make less profit by selling to us? Besides, if you make less money in this aspect, I will let you make it back in other aspects."
She spoke with such sincerity that the shopkeeper had to think seriously.
This gorgeous dress is the treasure of their store. It is beautiful, but most people cannot pull it off. If it cannot be sold, it will be a huge loss.
It is better to make no profit than to keep it in your hands.
Moreover, Chu Nanyue also had to buy four more sets of clothes, ten pairs of shoes, plus a piece of silk and cotton cloth from outside, so he would make a profit no matter what.
So, he quickly figured it out and agreed readily. Moreover, when he heard that Chu Nanyue's family had twin babies, a boy and a girl, which represented good luck, he immediately gave her five feet of soft cloth specially for the children to wear.
In the end, Chu Nanyue paid him a total of two hundred and thirty taels of silver.
He smiled and said respectfully: "Madam, if you need anything, please come back. I will definitely give you a fair price!"
Chu Nanyue was also happy to carry the spoils home, but when she got home, she saw Leng Jiu and Si Zhu both looked very cautious...
