Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 26 Splendid Store
In Qingzhou City, a Qinghuai River divides the entire Qingzhou City into two halves, and on both sides of the Qinghuai River, there are shops everywhere, selling all kinds of goods.

When Ding Jiayi was walking near the river bank, feeling the pedestrians coming and going, he couldn't help being a little dazed, as if he remembered the famous place of fireworks in his previous life, the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Now this place, even the name is very similar.

Ding Jiayi and the others are currently located in the south of the Qinghuai River, where civilians gather.

According to shopkeeper Sun's suggestion, Ding Jiayi decided to walk all the way north from the river bank. Not only was the surrounding scenery boundless, but the place to the north of the city happened to be the Qinghuang Pagoda.

"Girl, Qingzhou City is really big! There are many more people than Fengdou County!" Hong Yi followed behind Ding Jiayi, her eyes seemed not enough, and she kept looking around.

Those shops and restaurants are all very attractive to Hongyi.

"Anyway, this Qingzhou City is known as the largest city under the Imperial City of Shangjing!" Ding Jiayi pursed her lips and smiled. At this time, she was wearing a bamboo hat to block all her beautiful faces, while He Niang and Hong Yi Protecting her from one left to the other, she looks like a lady from a certain family, not a fireworks girl from a brothel.

What made Ding Jiayi feel a little relieved was that after she came out, she saw many women on the street, dressed in different styles, some simple and luxurious, which showed that the rigor of women in this era was not as serious as she imagined, at least the girls They can also take to the streets.

"Look, girl! Isn't that the Jinxiu silk and satin shop?" Suddenly, Hongyi saw a shop with sharp eyes and shouted.

Ding Jiayi looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, there were five colors of silk and satin floating among a row of shops, and the words "Splendid Silk and Satin Village" were particularly obvious.

"Let's go in and have a look too! Just in time to ask how the clothes are made."

Ding Jiayi then led the two into the silk and satin village.

This splendid silk and satin shop seems to be a shop selling cloth and satin on the surface, but it also does clothing business, but the price is much more expensive than other clothing stores.

According to Ding Jiayi, this Jinxiu store is the largest cloth merchant in the entire dynasty, with branches all over the entire dynasty, even a small county like Fengdou County has one.

The one in Fengdou County and the one in Qingzhou City are naturally different.

The splendid silk and satin village in front of me covers an area three to four times that of the one in Fengdou County, and it is still on the bank of the Qinghuai River where every inch of land is precious.

The five-color silk and satin floating outside the shop, not the three-color silk in Fengdou County.

Most of the Jinxiu shops are silk and satin shops, and they also operate gold shops, grain shops, pawn shops, etc. The size of Jinxiu shops can be judged by the color of the silk and satin hanging outside the door.The highest one is the seven-color brocade. It is said that only the Jinxiu firm in Shangjing can hang the nine-color brocade, and even this one in Qingzhou city is only five-color.

When Ding Jiayi walked into the shop, a woman in her 30s came forward immediately.

"I don't know what this girl wants to buy? We have everything in Jinxiu Store." The woman looked like she was in her 30s, wearing a purple dress, with a duck egg face and average appearance, only spoiled by a pair of sharp eyes. her temperament.

"Just take a look, and I have something to ask by the way. I wonder if the shopkeeper can borrow a word?" Ding Jiayi's voice came through the weft, and at some point there was an extra sign in his hand.

When the female shopkeeper saw the sign in Ding Jiayi's hand, a strange look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal. She asked a female clerk to greet the others, and she led Ding Jiayi to the inner room.

This inner room was originally used by the female relatives to try on clothes, but when they approached, the sound and sight of the outside were cut off immediately.

"You are Ling Xiao?"

The female shopkeeper put away her smile and asked.

Ding Jiayi nodded and handed her the iron plate.This iron plate was given to her by the man in black, representing her identity in this organization.Although Ding Jiayi doesn't know how much power this iron plate has, at least in Fengdou County, besides Feng's mother, she is the biggest.

What surprised Ding Jiayi even more was that this splendid silk and satin village also belonged to this organization.Ding Jiayi was taken aback when Mother Feng told her!

She had already inquired about the background of Jinxiu Silk and Satin Village from other people, and it was the imperial merchant Jin's family!There are only three imperial merchants in the entire dynasty!

This Jin family has monopolized all the cloth business in the whole country, not only supplying the inner courtyard of the palace, but also the rich and powerful families with a little bit of power and status have their business.

Ding Jiayi was startled by the size of this organization, and at the same time began to feel uneasy.

But now she is already on the back foot, whether she can leave or not is still a problem. Even if she wants to win more, she must first complete this task.

These thoughts flashed through her mind, but Ding Jiayi didn't show anything on her face, and put the iron plate back in her arms, but didn't take off the cap.

"I'm here this time, first to ask when the clothes I ordered will be delivered, and second, to inquire about the specific situation of this oiran competition."

The female shopkeeper thought for a while, and then said: "The superior has already told me that if Miss Ling Xiao comes, I will satisfy any request."

After a pause, the female shopkeeper also took out a bronze medal with a camellia pattern on the front and the word "wai" on the back.

Ding Jiayi already knew that the word "hidden" on her sign represented an intelligence department; and the female shopkeeper should belong to another department, but she didn't know what she was specifically responsible for.

"You can call me Sister Cha in private from now on." Sister Cha smiled for the first time, then pulled Ding Jiayi to sit aside, and explained to her the situation of the Oiran Competition in detail.

After all, Sister Cha was in Qingzhou City, and the information she received was much more detailed. Ding Jiayi quickly memorized the information firmly, and her mind began to work quickly.

Just when Sister Cha was halfway through speaking, a sudden noise came from outside the door, interrupting the two of them.

Sister Cha frowned slightly, and immediately got up and walked outside.

"what happened?"

She has always been very strict in dealing with people, and the rules are very strict, and there is very little noise in the shop, so when Sister Cha came out of the inner room, there was a subconscious coldness on her face.

The two female buddies outside hurriedly explained: "Shopkeeper, these girls want to go to the second floor, but they don't have a post..."

Ding Jiayi walked out behind Sister Cha, just in time to hear what the two said.

The second floor of Jinxiu Silk and Satin Manor is dedicated to the nobles. Only those who have status are eligible to go up. Even Ding Jiayi has never been to the second floor. This is a bit like Ding Jiayi's VIP card in his previous life.

Seeing that there were a few more people in the lobby besides He Niang and Hong, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but cast his gaze subconsciously.

There are also three people on the other side, two of them are dressed up as maids, surrounded by a woman, wearing a green smoked sweater, a pleated skirt sprinkled with flowers and green grass, and a white transparent thin smoke veil. , as if soft and boneless.

When Ding Jiayi looked at the other party, the woman also raised her head and looked over.

The eyes of the two paused in the air, and then separated immediately, but Ding Jiayi noticed that there was a trace of contempt in the woman's eyes.

Ding Jiayi was still wearing a cap, so it was impossible for the other party to see her appearance, and Ding Jiayi didn't know where the other party's disdain came from, but she couldn't help feeling a little bit of dislike in her heart.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that the rules of your shop are very strict. Why can this lowly woman go in, but our girl can't?"

Before Ding Jiayi could speak, a maid beside the woman suddenly screamed.

These words were harsh, Ding Jiayi couldn't help but glanced at the maid, and shot her cold eyes at the maid through the weft.

The maid's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't dare to look at Ding Jiayi.

When Sister Cha saw the woman, she had already guessed their identities, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Rules are rules. My Splendid Embroidery Shop has always followed the rules. Since you can't show the gold stickers, you will never be able to go up to the second floor. As for this girl...it is naturally within the rules."

"how is this possible?"

The servant girl obviously didn't believe it. Ding Jiayi's dress looked like a lady from an ordinary family. She didn't have any expensive jewelry on her body. How could she have a golden post from Jinxiu Shop?
