Being interrupted by the gossipy aunt, it was just a small interruption during shopping and did not affect the group's pace.
Walking into the city of Ying County, Zheng Xiong looked around until a cloth shop came into view.
He led everyone into the store and said to the store manager.
"Can you make them some clothes?"
Observing people's emotions is a basic skill of the shopkeeper. With a quick glance, you can tell that this is a customer who is not short of money.
The boys were poorly dressed, but Zheng Xiong's clothes and the bodyguards behind him looked unusual, and he quickly replied with a smile.
"Yes, sir, let's take a look first to see if there is any fabric you like. You can choose it first. I will measure the size for you later. Once it's done, you can come and get it."
"Well, boys, just pick out whatever fabric you like. I will pay for it today."
The boys' eyes were still unconsciously directed at Wei Hong, waiting for Wei Hong's reply.
Wei Hong whispered to Zheng Xiong.
"Sir, we are neither relatives nor friends. This kind of love is really too much for this little girl to bear."
"I can afford it. Didn't I say I would marry you? It doesn't matter if I make clothes for my brother-in-law."
"Well, when did you say it?"
When Wei Hong mentioned this, he realized it later. Seeing Wei Hong's appearance, Zheng Xiong stroked his forehead, feeling that his love poems and love songs were in vain.
"Then tell me now, I want to marry you."
"Ah, no."
Wei Hongru was in a dream, what kind of rhythm was this? We had only met a few times. They met just the day before yesterday. How could they have reached the point of discussing marriage in two days.
Love comes unexpectedly, without any precaution, why is it like this.
Of course, he covets Wei Hong's beauty. He wants Zheng Xiong to cultivate his relationship first and take his time step by step like later generations. That's impossible. It's only right to take it first to avoid long nights and dreams. Relationships can be cultivated slowly.
"How about I find someone to propose marriage tomorrow?"
"Ah, I'm sorry I can't accept it. I'll take my leave."
"Don't go. If you don't accept it, don't accept it. Keep your clothes first."
Seeing Wei Hong was about to leave, Zheng Xiong grabbed Wei Hong.
"Sir, if you are a man or a woman, please respect yourselves."
Zheng Xiong said as he let go of his hand and saw that Wei Hong was indeed a little angry.
"Clothes are nothing. If you agree to be my guide, you can deduct it from your daily wages."
The steps Zheng Xiong handed over made Wei Hong sigh in relief. The clothes were indeed hot to the touch. She didn't know how much work it would take to save enough for these clothes.
"Thank you very much, sir."
"It's okay, just be happy."
You saw that I was happy, so I opened my mouth to come, but I was almost frightened. It progressed too fast, so I had to slow it down.
Following Wei Hong's signal, several young men happily selected fabrics.
I couldn't choose anything, and I haven't seen much of the world, so I chose a stain-resistant fabric.
Wei Hong looked carefully to the left, touched it, and chose attentively.
Seeing Wei Hong's focused look, Zheng Xiong nodded with satisfaction. She was the woman running the house.
It turns out that women's instinct to shop is hereditary, and it showed up in Wei Hong at this time. It took her a long time to make the right choice.
He walked up to the shopkeeper and held a piece of gray cloth.
"Shopkeeper, this is the fabric. Don't bother the shopkeeper. I'll go home and make it myself."
"Okay, eight hundred and eighty-eight articles for Chenghui."
Let me go, this number is really auspicious, but 888 is not good. If you are an official, your life will be difficult to guarantee.
"Shopkeeper, how about six, six, and six, but not eight, eight, and eight."
"Sir, you are bargaining too hard. I have the final say of 866 yuan. What do you think?"
"That's okay too."
I'm wrong. This is not the person who haggled. The simple number is unlucky, but this number is so good that I can't understand it.
He took out a tael of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Weigh."
"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."
"One tael, I'm asking you for one hundred and forty-four coins. Please keep it, sir."
"Well, how do you sell this fur coat? This fabric is good for summer wear, but it has to be this warm in winter."
"This is cheap. We have no shortage of this stuff at Yanmen Pass. If you like it, sir, you can add three hundred coins and choose as you like."
It was so cheap. Zheng Xiong was not polite and paid the money readily. Not only did he call a few young men, he even called the bodyguards in and asked them to choose one too.
Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper suddenly became anxious and said with a sad face.
"Young Master, it's not enough to have so many people. You and these little brothers can choose as you like. If others choose, it's fine, but you'll have to pay more."
"That's not what you just said."
Who knew you didn't have martial ethics?
"It's my fault for not making it clear."
"It's not easy for you either. Tell me how much it will cost."
"You can add another three hundred coins, and everyone can choose one at will."
"Well, that's it. If you add more money, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
"I don't dare. Our shop is all about integrity. Don't worry, sir."
The fur coat looked the same as the one he picked up for free, so Zheng Xiong happily paid for it.
The bodyguards were also very happy. It was one thing to be cheap, but it was another thing to do it for free. This was a worthwhile job.
Wei Hong did the math and calculated it based on one thousand cash. According to the wages given by Zheng Xiong, the five of them could earn back the money after working for ten days, which was still affordable.
After leaving the cloth shop, Zheng Xiong came to a restaurant and called everyone in.
It was approaching noon and Wei Hong was a little hungry. Seeing Zheng Xiong and all his bodyguards entering the restaurant, Wei Hong hesitated.
Seeing Wei Hong stalling again, Zheng Xiong had no choice but to go out.
"What's the matter? Come in, I'm going to treat you. I will pay the bill. What are you afraid of?"
"It's too expensive here and we can't afford it. We can just get some steamed buns to satisfy our hunger. We don't want to bother the young master and spend money."
"Do you look down on me?"
"No."
"Then let's end it. Come in, don't you see that they have all come in? They followed me and treated no one badly."
The expectant looks of the young men made Wei Hong unable to say any more words of rejection and followed Zheng Xiong into the restaurant.
Some of the strange looks made a few people feel inferior, with their heads lowered like marionettes. There were only one or two little kids who didn't know what it was like to feel sad and were cheerful.
After sitting down, Zheng Xiong ordered the local specialties, beef and mutton, which were delicious.
After the meal, everyone sat comfortably holding their bellies. It was the happiest moment in their lives.
"How was the meal? A big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine. Do you agree with this marriage?"
Wei 2 and Wei 3 were hesitant, while Wei 4 and Wei 5 spoke without hesitation.
"I agree, you will be my brother-in-law from now on, but you have to take us to eat delicious food every day, otherwise I will call my sister back."
Seeing that her younger brother was bribed so easily, Wei Hong gritted her teeth angrily, feeling angry and funny at the same time.
"Eat, eat, can't I feed you?"
"Yes, but I can't eat good food."
Zheng Xiong secretly laughed at the child's words. After getting his brother-in-law, the marriage was half done, and the beauty was close at hand.
