"Brother Wu, you have a nosebleed!" Qianye Ling was also startled and pointed at Wu Xiuping's nose.
"It's bleeding a lot, please wipe it quickly." Li Zhixian took out a white silk handkerchief and handed it to him.
"Oh, no, no, no!" Wu Xiuping quickly wiped it with his sleeve, revealing a ferocious look on his face.
"Brother Coachman, let's go to the medical hospital first!" Qianye Ling didn't know why Wu Xiuping suddenly had a nosebleed. It looked like the situation was serious, and the first person who thought of him was Fatty.
"No need, it's okay actually." Wu Xiuping said, "How embarrassing!" Just now I just touched Li Zhixian's hand, and my blood was so hot that I couldn't help myself.
For a thirty-year-old bachelor, this is actually a very normal situation, indicating that he is healthy and has nothing wrong with him...
But the two girls didn't know what was going on. They were very anxious and kept urging the driver to hurry up, as if Wu Xiuping's life would be in danger if it was any later.
"It's okay. It's just the cold weather and dryness and the heat in the blood." The fat man could confirm the diagnosis without taking his pulse. "I happen to have nothing to do at the moment, so I might as well go with you."
Even if something happens, I have to accompany him, not only for Wu Xiuping, but also for Qianye Ling.
When four people go together, it feels a bit like two couples going on a date.
Since the excuse is to make clothes, the first stop is naturally a clothing store, and the most famous clothing store in Changshan Prefecture is Taihexiang.
Taihexiang's head office is in Fengyang, and there are only three branches in total, one in Jiangnan County, one in Jiangdong County, and one in Changshan Prefecture.
It can be seen that the prosperity of Changshan Prefecture is already comparable to that of Jiangnan and Jiangdong.
Taihexiang takes a high-end route. The consumer group is either rich or expensive. Ordinary people and even ordinary wealthy families cannot afford it.
When Liu Xiangqin finished the business deal with Shi Mingtao, she wanted to make some sets of winter clothes for Chen Jisheng and Wei Yuntian, but they actually cost eighty taels of silver each! Ling'er almost smashed his black shop because of this!
But the main thing they sell is a brand, and the brand is getting stronger and stronger and will never fail. You don’t care whether it is right or not, it is just expensive anyway!
Taihexiang is located in the most prosperous area of Changshan City. There are so many people that carriages cannot get in. The four of them can only get out of the car and walk.
The old saying goes that customers bully shops, and shops bully customers, which is very true. The few boys at the door saw four people walking in simple clothes, without even a single attendant, and they looked very ordinary. , it’s a bit disdainful.
"How many of you are here to make clothes?" Even though they were smiling, they were not smiling at all, and the question was also strange.
"Nonsense, if I want to eat, I'll go to Dingfeng Tower!" The fat man said coaxingly, "Make some clothes to wear! There are holes in this robe."
The fat man was also a slovenly man, and the cotton robe he wore had been worn for several years and was already worn out. He and Wu Xiuping, who was wearing a blue cotton robe full of stains and oil stains, looked like a pair of miserable brothers.
Wu Xiuping's blue cotton robe is new, but he works on the machine tools in the factory all day long, and after a few days, the new one becomes old.
Fortunately, the people in the Governor's Mansion didn't care about things like clothing, so no one thought there was anything objectionable about him walking around in the mansion, but he attracted attention as soon as he went out.
"If you want to make clothes, there are quite a few shops on North Street. You might as well go there, man!" said a fat boy.
"Oh...huh?" The fat man was stunned when he heard this. I've already walked to your door. You guys didn't invite me in to drink tea and measure clothes. What do you mean by sending us away?
"We can't make clothes like these for the men in our store." Another thin boy said with a smile, "We only make satin brocade clothes and mink fur and fox cloaks, not cotton fabrics."
"Damn it, you guys are looking down on others!" The fat man suddenly realized, "What's wrong with the satin brocade coat and mink fur fox cloak? Why are you afraid that I can't afford it!"
"Of course it's not that I can't afford it, it's just that it doesn't fit well." The fat boy could tell at a glance how much the fat man's clothes were worth.
The cotton robes and trousers are quite thick, and there is a lot of cotton, but the handmade fabrics only cost about one tael of silver. The cowhide boots on the feet are thick and heavy. At first glance, they are military boots that have been eliminated by the Yanyun guards. Pairs of coins are everywhere, and the hat is made of sheepskin. You can make one for two coins on North Street.
The entire outfit costs no more than two taels of silver. How dare you come to Taihexiang with this consumption level? At first glance, he looks like a country bumpkin from the west!
Needless to say, Wu Xiuping's clothes cost only one tael of silver. Qianye Ling also wore a very ordinary cotton coat. Only the hat cover looked like mink and was worth a few cents. As for Li Zhixian, he wore a fur cloak and a deer coat. Leather boots, but the style looks extremely old-fashioned at first glance and has long since fallen behind the trend.
Based on this, it is not difficult to know the identities of several people. Li Zhixian must be the young lady of the landowner's family, Qianye Ling is her maid, and Wu Xiuping is the servant. Needless to say, this arrogant fat man should be the coachman. The coachman likes to shout and drink.
Damn it, we are guys, you fat guy is the coachman, and everyone is a waiter, why are you pretending to be awesome with me?
So the words became more and more rude.
"Fat man, shall we find another place?" Qianye Ling gently pulled the fat man's sleeve.
"No!" The fat man was already very angry, "If you don't steam the steamed buns, I will argue with you today! The most expensive clothes in your store, give us two sets each! But I have nothing to wear when I go out today. Bring money, who is that, Xiuping, have you brought money? Come out with a hundred taels and throw it on his face!"
In fact, of course the fat man brought the money, but naturally he was reluctant to spend it. Besides, today was Wu Xiuping's home game, and he was just here to help join in the fun, so it was better for Xiuping to take the limelight.
Don't tell me that Wu Xiuping is really richer than Fatty. His monthly salary is worth several months of Fatty's salary.
The salaries of Changshan Prefecture officials are still paid according to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but on this basis, there are additional frontier subsidies ranging from ten to twenty taels per month.
For example, Chen Ping is a ninth-grade inspector, and the salary regulated by Da Zhou is about 25 taels per year, but the county will also give him a salary increase of 5 taels every month, so what he gets in a year is actually 85 taels. , which is equivalent to the salary of a prefect in the Zhou Dynasty.
When Baili came back two days ago, he went to Liu Congshu specifically to apply for a reissue of the salary increase given to Xuanming City officials in the past few years. This was a legitimate request, and Liu Congshu approved it with a stroke of his pen. Chen Ping was very happy for this. I couldn't sleep for several days!
Of course, being an official in Dazhou has a lot of gray income, but Yanyun County doesn't have any, so it's hard to say who earns more...
