The Empress Dowager's Love in the City

Chapter 142

Zheng Yu walked in front, and Long Jingye followed quietly. Along the way, many people praised the two of them.

"By the way, Brother Ye, do you know what is the most famous thing in the imperial city?" Zheng Yu suddenly remembered that after so many days, he might return to Feng Yu someday. Buy some gifts with Binger and the others to go back.

"The most famous thing in the imperial city is the embroidery at Xianxiu Pavilion, should Ah Yu go and see it?" Long Jingye thought for a while and said.

"Embroidery? That's just right. My family has a lot of sisters. We can buy some and give them to them. Let's go and have a look!" Zheng Yu didn't expect that embroidery is the most famous in the imperial city, which is exactly what she wanted. There are so many girls in their Mengli Garden, so embroidery is a perfect gift.

"Well, not far ahead is the Xianxiu Pavilion. The embroidery there is made by the famous twelve embroidered ladies in the imperial city, and I heard that many of them in the palace are also from there. Ah Yu will definitely not be disappointed. .” Long Jingye explained carefully.

"Twelve Embroidered Girls? Is she alone?"

"No, there are twelve of them, and all of them are female celebrity masters. The embroidery made by them can be called a treasure, and many famous and wealthy people regard it as a status symbol!"

"Really? Is it so magical?"

"What's going on, let's go and see first!"

"Well, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times!"

The two walked towards Xianxiu Pavilion unhurriedly. On the way, Zheng Yu also picked up all kinds of lanterns put up and sold by the vendors. These lanterns were red, green, and colorful, with small animals, flowers, and moons. The stars, in short, all kinds of lanterns are made vividly.

Looking at the happy Zheng Yu, Long Jingye finally felt relieved. He knew that Zheng Yu was somewhat sad about Jun Lefan's departure, otherwise he would not have seen Zheng Yu sitting there alone today. Been there for so long, stayed for so long.

Walking and stopping along the way, he came to the front of Xianxiu Pavilion unconsciously. Seeing that even the plaques were embroidered, Zheng Yu couldn't help but admire in his heart: women in ancient times are really geniuses!
"Ayu, this is the Xianxiu Pavilion, let's go in!"

"Well, good!"

The two drove forward together and walked into the Xianxiu Pavilion.

As soon as I entered the door, a young woman came to greet me, "Welcome to the Xianxiu Pavilion, two gentlemen, what do you two need?"

"We want to buy some gifts for the elders and sisters in the family. Please recommend this sister!" Zheng Yu said politely.

"The two gentlemen are really considerate. I wonder if you want to buy a big one or a small one?" The young woman asked with a smile on her face.

"What is a big piece, and what is a small piece?"

"The so-called large items are clothes with embroidered patterns, screens, wall pictures, etc., which are complicated and large in size. Small items are of course handkerchiefs, purses, belts, sachets and so on!"

"Oh! It's okay, I'll take a look at them all, maybe I'll buy them all if I like them!"

"Hehe, that's good, my lord, please come here, all the finished products of our Xianxiu Pavilion are stored here!"

The young woman didn't feel that Zheng Yu was talking big. After all, the clothes on the two of them were either rich or expensive. Besides, the people who could enter the Xianxiu Pavilion were those with status, and ordinary people would not come in at all. .

"Then thank you, sister, let's see for ourselves, you can do your work first!"

"Hey, okay, take a look at those two young masters. If you don't like something, you can also tell your thoughts. We, Xianxiu Pavilion, can do the same."

"Oh? That means it can also be made to order?"

"of course!"

"Well, I see, then sister, you are busy first, and I will call you later!"

"Okay, take your time, both of you!"

……

In fact, Zheng Yu suddenly had an idea that she wanted a novice to design a suit for Long Jingye, and then entrusted Xianxiu Pavilion to make it, so she asked one more question just now.

She looked at all kinds of embroidery in front of her, which really made her feel very powerful. For example, this picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix is ​​so lifelike. So many colorful silk threads are gathered together, which makes people's eyes suddenly brighten. Even the birds The slender feathers are embroidered with each other, very realistic.

Zheng Yu picked up a lavender handkerchief, and saw pear blossoms embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief. The small flowers were composed of thin silk threads to form petals, and then formed into snow-white flowers. On the branches, it looks like it has just been picked from the tree, and it is alive.

Long Jingye at the side saw Zheng Yu carefully looking at the handkerchief in his hand, and he could see that she probably liked it, so he decided to buy it after a while.

Looking at the vivid embroidery, Zheng Yu really liked it very much, and immediately called out to the young woman: "Sister, please come here!"

"What do you like, Master?" Seeing that Zheng Yu called her, the young woman quickly came over and asked.

"Sister, please wrap all these up! Oh! By the way, there is this!" Zheng Yu said, pointing to the handkerchief, purse and sachet in front of him.

The young woman did not expect that Zheng Yu would want all the small finished products in Xianxiu Pavilion at once, and even the picture of winter snow and wintersweet embroidered just now, which is not a small sum The quantity, and the materials used in their store are also top-grade.

"Master, are you sure you have all these?"

"Well, I've got them all, please trouble my sister to calculate how much money!"

"Hey, okay, my lord, please sit here and drink tea and wait for a while!"

At this time, someone had already brought refreshments, and the young woman hurriedly greeted her.

"It's work!"

In fact, Zheng Yu probably counted them, and there were probably fifty or sixty of these things, and all the sisters who went back happened to have a share.

Seeing this, Long Jingye didn't think it was too strange. Of course, he knew why Zheng Yu bought so many, so he said with a smile: "Ah Yu, do you want to buy some more?"

"Hehe... Brother Ye, don't take offense. I have a lot of sisters in my family. Buy more and give each of them a few more gifts, so that you won't have to say that I'm coming to Longteng and don't bring more gifts back, saying I'm stingy!" Zheng Yu explained with a little embarrassment, after all, he is now a man, and it is inevitable that others will not think too much about buying so many things for women.

"How come? Ah Yu is so careful!" Long Jingye said softly, taking a sip from his teacup.

"Ha ha……"

……

"You two gentlemen, here is the embroidery you want. Here is the list. There are 26 handkerchiefs, 58 purses, 480 sachets, [-] pairs of embroidered shoes, and a picture of a screen. There are [-] pieces in total. There are ten pieces in total. Six thousand four hundred and eighty three taels of silver!" The young woman said very politely.

"Thank you, sister!" Zheng Yu replied with a smile as he took a big package from the young woman.

But before she put it down to take out the silver ticket, Long Jingye had already paid the silver for her, only to hear Long Jingye say: "No need to look for it!"

"Thank you, sir! But the Xianxiu Pavilion will not collect too much money. Please wait a moment, sir." The young woman said while holding the 7000 taels of silver that Long Jingye handed over.

After the young woman left, Zheng Yu looked at Long Jingye who was beside him and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and said, "Brother Ye, this is a gift I bought for my family, so please accept it!"

Long Jingye looked at Zheng Yu with clear eyes, he suddenly refused for some reason, and after a while he said softly: "Yes! Good!" He stretched out his hand and took the bank note that Zheng Yu handed over.

Seeing that Long Jingye took it, Zheng Yu smiled and said, "Let's go out!"

"it is good!"

At this time, the young woman brought over the extra money, Long Jingye took it and the two left.
