Chapter 141 Buying Clothes
On Chang'an Street, Su Leyun was walking with Lu Xueya to a cloth shop.
Cuiliu and Lu Xueya's personal maid Xiaoyu followed behind.
Being busy with embroidery these days, Su Leyun forgot that Lu Hong and Su Changying had already chosen a house and were waiting for the imperial edict to move to Xinlu Mansion.
At that time, the Lu Mansion will hold a banquet. As the eldest daughter of the Lu Mansion, Lu Xueya certainly cannot dress too shabbily.
It's just that Su Leyun was a little confused as to why Lu Xueya had to come to the cloth store to buy the clothes to be worn at the banquet.
Logically speaking, Su Changying should have made arrangements.
Su Leyun did not ask this question. In her previous life, she noticed Su Changying's indifference towards Lu Xueya. The two were not like mother and daughter, but more like enemies.
This is just Su Changying's attitude towards Lu Xueya. Of course, Lu Xueya also regards Su Changying as her mother.
After entering the cloth shop, the shopkeeper came forward and greeted: "Are you two ladies here to buy ready-made clothes? Or are you buying fabrics?"
Lu Xueya hesitated for a moment and asked, "Shopkeeper, what are the prices of ready-made clothes and fabrics here?"
"Ouch, I don't know how to explain this lady's question." The shopkeeper of Cloth Shop scratched his head and replied: "I can only tell you, if you are in a hurry, lady, it is best to buy ready-made clothes. Don't be in a hurry, you can buy fabrics and design them yourself, which is also very good.”
“The prices are definitely different, but it depends on how you choose the style or fabric, so I can tell you the price.”
Lu Xueya thought for a while, "Shopkeeper, please show me the ready-made clothes first."
“Okay, ladies, this way.”
The shopkeeper of Buzhuang led Lu Xueya and Su Leyun to the right.
There are a lot of ready-made clothes on the cabinet, so colorful and dazzling that it's hard to choose for a while.
Lu Xueya was looking at the ready-made clothes under the introduction of the shopkeeper. Su Leyun just followed and listened to the conversation between the two.
"Miss, you made a good choice for this one. This is my new ready-made garment. Both the fabric and the pattern are of high quality."
Hearing the introduction from the shopkeeper of Cloth Shop, Lu Xueya squatted in the air with her hand holding the ready-made clothes, not knowing whether to put them down.
“Miss, there is a place to change here, why don't you try it first?”
The shopkeeper of Cloth Shop was so enthusiastic that Lu Xueya couldn't refuse, so she had to take the clothes in.
Seeing Su Leyun standing aside, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang rolled his eyes and took the first blue dress and handed it to Su Leyun, "Miss, I think this dress suits you very well. Do you want it too?" Try it?"
This dress was placed separately. When the shopkeeper went to pick it up, he wiped his hands specially.
Obviously it's expensive.
As the shopkeeper of a cloth shop, he has seen more clothes and fabrics than customers. How could he not tell that this young lady is the real rich owner.
Just the hairpin on his head could buy half of his store.
How could he let such a wealthy owner off?
“No need, I just came with that lady today.”
Su Leyun spoke mildly and rejected the proposal of the shopkeeper of Buzhuang.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper of the cloth store did not give up immediately. Instead, he put down his clothes and said, "Miss, would you like to go and have a look at the fabrics? We have some new fabrics here. I guarantee you will like them."
“I'll wait for her to come out and then take a look.”
Su Leyun still refused.
Just the tone became stronger.
At this moment, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop also understood that this rich owner could not make any money from her today.
However, although the person who went in to change clothes just now did not look very wealthy, he was not short of money to be with this young lady.
Since he can't make money from this lady, it's the same thing if he makes more money from that lady.
After a while, Lu Xueya changed her clothes and came out.
She chose a dark green skirt with several hyacinth flowers embroidered under the skirt.
When it moves, it seems that a faint stream of light can be seen.
Overall it is very concise.
The shopkeeper of Cloth Shop hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, your clothes look really good!"
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Lu Xueya looked around and seemed very satisfied.
“Shopkeeper, what's the price of this dress?”
"You also know that the fabric and workmanship are of excellent quality, but the price is a little expensive." The shopkeeper of the cloth shop rubbed his fingers and counted the number, "It costs a full thirty-five taels."
“Thirty-five taels?”
Lu Xueya frowned and hesitated.
She only took less than fifty taels with her when she went out. She bought this dress and some jewelry. How could she afford it?
“This dress…”
Seeing that Lu Xueya was about to refuse, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang's eyes flashed and he hurriedly said: "I think I'm destined to be with you, young lady, so I might as well give you a cheaper one, how about twenty-eight taels?"
Lu Xueya was still hesitant, but a little moved.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Leyun stopped him.
“Shopkeeper, is this cloth made of Yusi brocade?” Su Leyun looked at the shopkeeper of Cloth Shop, and when he said the word Yusijin, the shopkeeper of Cloth Shop knew that he had met someone who knew the goods.
"yes."
The shopkeeper of Buzhuang responded, but his expression changed a little.
Su Leyun continued: "The rain silk brocade is intertwined with white threads and other colors, so that it can show the feeling of white and white. It is indeed difficult to embroider on the rain silk brocade. If you are not careful, you will destroy the characteristics of the rain silk brocade. Just now The shopkeeper said the workmanship was excellent, but I don't think so.”
After listening to Su Leyun's words, Lu Xueya pulled up a corner and looked at the embroidery on it, and suddenly realized: "The color and white look is completely gone where the pattern is sewn."
"This..." the shopkeeper of Buzhuang swallowed, "How about twenty-five taels, miss, take it."
"Twenty-five seems a bit expensive to me." Su Leyun chuckled, "If I remember correctly, because of the hoarding of Sichuan brocade last year, the price of Sichuan brocade this year is not expensive. Not to mention the rain silk brocade, a piece of cloth seems to be too expensive. The price is less than ten taels, which is enough to make three pieces of clothing like this."
The shopkeeper of Buzhuang now completely understood. The young lady in front of him was not only knowledgeable about goods, but also proficient in them.
“Okay, okay, you can just take these fifteen taels of clothes.”
Lu Xueya blinked and glanced at Su Leyun first. Seeing her nodding, she motioned to Xiaoyu to step forward and give the money.
He went in and changed his clothes.
Just as Lu Xueya was changing clothes, another guest came in outside the door.
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop came up to him, he seemed to be an acquaintance, "Here comes the Xiao Zhou family. The fabric you asked me to order has been delivered."
“Really? That's great!”
The voice sounded familiar. Su Leyun raised his eyes, took a few glances, and recognized the person.
It is Qin Xiu who has had a double relationship before.
