reborn princess

Chapter 497
If she can't even see this, then she has lived two lives in vain.

"She can do whatever she wants? She really treats herself like a dish! Luan Ying!" As he spoke, he called Luan Ying in loudly. "Go back to the palace and tell my mother that 'Red Plum Villa' will be closed tomorrow!"

Luan Ying foolishly responded, then turned around and went to the palace to deliver the message.

Shen Weilan couldn't help staring, is this okay?

But thinking about it, "Red Plum Villa" was originally his family's property, so it was up to him whether to open it tomorrow or not.

But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that if she didn't go, she would be showing weakness, so she said, "Is it really okay not to go? She has invited all the daughters of the capital to support her with such a big fanfare. If I If I don't go, won't people think I'm afraid of her?"

"What about her? How old is she?" Whenever Xuan Chen talked about Sun Jiuniang, he had a disgusted expression on his face. "We're going back to Liaocheng soon, why don't we go shopping for some gifts tomorrow?"

Shen Weilan thought for a while, then nodded, there were too many things going on these days, except for the time when she went to the street to buy a box for Jin Suzhu, she was always busy embroidering screens, so she never had a chance to go shopping.

Seeing that February [-]th will be here, the two of them have already discussed and will leave for Liaocheng at the end of February.

Xuan Chen insisted that she was a girl, and it was too hard to go back on horseback, so she wanted to go back by boat. Since it was by boat, she didn't need to pack lightly, and it was better to buy some gifts to go back.

The two agreed, and the next day they ate breakfast, and they took the carriage out early in the morning.

Although Liao City has everything, there is still a big gap between the quality of things and the capital city. There are many things that can only be bought in the capital city.

The first stop of the two was the silk and satin factory. These silks and satins were shipped from the south. Almost every silk and satin factory would have several kinds of silk and satin fabrics or patterns at the bottom of the box, which were unique to them, so not just one silk and satin factory could All satin patterns are available for purchase.

"My lord, miss, do you want to buy some silk and satin? Our shop just shipped a batch of brocade materials with patterns of hundreds of flowers from the south yesterday. There are various colors. When the weather gets warmer in a few days, we can make them into overalls. It's very beautiful!" The clerk of a silk and satin shop kindly greeted Xuan Chen and Shen Weilan who came to visit.

Now that the new year has just passed, there are not many customers, and it is rare for a guest to come to the door. Naturally, the clerk strongly recommends it. It is the material of carved silk, and the material of carved silk is a tribute, unless it is rewarded by the royal family, it is impossible for ordinary people to buy it.

In addition, there were many guards around the two of them, so they came up and recommended expensive brocade materials.

Shen Weilan laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll take a look!"

The clerk hurriedly took her to the counter, and asked the clerk inside the counter to show her the materials.

Shen Weilan picked up a corner of royal blue brocade material, compared it to Xuan Chen's body, and said with a smile: "This material is good for making a gown for my father, my father is very suitable for wearing royal blue clothes."

Xuan Chen turned cold, "You know how to respect Master, why don't you tell me to make one for me?"

Shen Weilan didn't expect him to be jealous like this, so she couldn't help being amused, she glanced at him and said, "The clothes on your body are all made of carved silk materials that were rewarded from the palace, how can such ordinary brocade materials be worthy of your noble status? "

Xuan Chen glared at her unhappily, "I don't care, the color and pattern of this material are good, I want to make one too!"

Shen Weilan didn't want to be laughed at by the clerk in this shop, so she was too lazy to talk to him, so she said to the clerk: "This kind of brocade material, royal blue, dark red, light green, apricot, these four colors, give me a piece , bring me some fine cotton cloth, too."

When the clerk heard that she was going to buy four bolts of silk and satin in one go, he immediately squinted his eyes with a smile, and hurriedly asked someone to pack it for her, and then asked someone to carry muslin cloth for her to look at.

Although silk looks very luxurious when worn on the body, it is not very comfortable to wear next to the body, especially in summer, so she likes to use fine cotton for her close-fitting clothes, but the fine cotton that can be bought in Liaocheng is not very comfortable. The designs and colors of cotton cloth are limited, except black, blue, gray and white, there are no other colors to speak of.

But the capital city is different. She remembers that the capital city has a kind of fine cotton cloth, some plain, and various background colors, with various patterns blooming on it. Coats and denim clothes are much more comfortable and look better.

After all, Shen Weilan is a girl, she likes the beautiful clothes when she sees them, she picks up a piece of pink muslin and gestures on her body, "Isn't this pretty?"

Xuan Chen stared at her expressionlessly, "That's the color for my aunt!"

Shen Weilan hurriedly threw the piece of muslin back as if her hand had been bitten by a dog. She just forgot that the peach red dress color is basically reserved for aunts, and regular wives always wear bright red. Wouldn't wear peach.

If she wore such a dress, she might be laughed to death.

Thinking that she almost lost face just now, she couldn't help but raised her foot and stomped on him hard, "I told you not to say it earlier!"

Really, I didn't know to remind her when I saw her take this piece of material.

Xuan Chen's feet hurt, but he didn't dare to cry out, so he had to endure it, then pointed to a lotus-colored muslin and said: "This color is also good, although it is plain, but if it is worn on the neckline, skirt and cuffs Embroidered with a few small white flowers, it’s also very pretty.”

Only then did Shen Weilan put her feet back, seeing how he was clearly in pain but did not dare to make a sound, she felt very relieved, so she put her feet back.

Xuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly twisted his ankle to ease the pain on his feet.

Shen Weilan pointed at various kinds of muslin cloth, and bought more than 20 pieces at one go. After returning home, besides the ones for her own use, she had to give some gifts, such as Aunt Feng and Aunt Ying, as well as friends from the village. For a few good families, the guys in the shop also have to tip.

There is also Fang Yuetong, although this little girl looks inconspicuous, thin and withered, but she is loyal to protect the Lord, and she deserves to be rewarded!
Speaking of which, Xuan Chen said that day that Fang Yuetong would be by her side as a maidservant in the future, and she was quite satisfied. This girl is not only loyal to protect the Lord, but also quick-witted. She is indeed a very suitable candidate for a maidservant.If it is well adjusted, it will definitely become a great help for me in the future.

The clerk squinted his eyes with joy, and the shopkeeper in the shop heard that someone was buying fabrics so generously, so he hurried out from the back hall to help greet them.

Shen Weilan picked out some other clothing materials one after another, paid the bill, left the address, and asked the shop assistant to help deliver it home.

The shopkeeper hurriedly patted his chest and promised that it would be delivered in an hour at most.

Shen Weilan wasn't afraid that they wouldn't deliver the goods. With the little devil Xuan Chen around, if they didn't deliver the goods, this guy would dare to come and smash their shop.

After leaving the silk and satin shop, the two of them did not take a carriage, but walked forward hand in hand. There are many shops along the street. In the huge capital city, there are at least hundreds of shops. On this street alone, There are five or six silk and satin shops standing in forests, and the competition is fierce.

"Hey, there's a glazed shop here..." Shen Weilan suddenly saw a glazed shop by the side of the road, and excitedly dragged Xuan Chen into it.

I saw that the shop was full of all kinds of exquisite ornaments, which were colorful and very beautiful.

The clerk in the shop greeted him, "Young master, miss, please take a look around, our shop is a branch of the 'Jubao Trading Company', the most innocent, what do you two like, tell the villain, the villain will help you." Take it and see."

Shen Weilan turned her face and glanced at Xuan Chen, blinked at him, and told her with her eyes, your mother is really a money stringer, she does all kinds of business!
Seeing her cute expression, Xuan Chen smiled dotingly, "Buy whatever you like!"

Shen Weilan pointed to a glazed pendant with double rings and said, "This glazed pendant is very beautiful. Buy one for Sister Jiayin. It must look beautiful on your waist!"

Xuan Chen winked at the clerk, and the clerk immediately raised his hand with a smile and took off the double-ringed glazed pendant that Shen Weilan had taken a fancy to from above the counter.

Shen Weilan held the double-ring glazed pendant in her hand, looked at it carefully, then raised her head, squinted her eyes and pointed at the colorful glazed ornaments, "This, this, this, and this, I'm fine, that Pisces's, And the one with the lilies, yes, yes, the one with the tulips too..."

Speaking of which, with money in your pocket, it feels good to be able to buy whatever you want, especially since the money came from beating your rival, Nazai, and you are even more merciless in spending it!
The guys in the shop were led around by her, but the smiles on their faces were very happy. Their wages were related to how many things they sold. The more things they sold, the higher their wages.

Shen Weilan picked out dozens of glazed ornaments in one go, and then gave up, paid the bill, and also asked the buddy to help pack it, and specially told the buddy that he had to travel a long distance, so he asked the buddy to wrap a few more layers, so as not to break it. .

While Shen Weilan and Xuan Chen were holding hands and shopping, Sun Jiuniang and her party were shut down at the gate of "Hongmei Restaurant".

The shopkeeper of "Red Plum Restaurant" carefully put on a smile, stood at the door and said, "Miss Sun, I'm sorry, it was our princess who sent someone at noon yesterday, saying that today's "Red Plum Restaurant" is not open. Take inventory."

The ladies from the noble families on the side all spoke up in disbelief, accusing the people of "Hongmei Restaurant" of not being honest.

Sun Jiuniang also said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, you are doing this wrong. When I sent someone to book a private room, you didn't tell my person that I have to take inventory today. Today I should keep my promise and let someone come to entertain us, not Shut us out, otherwise, what reputation does this 'Red Plum Restaurant' have? Who would dare to visit us in the future?"
