"How much?" The maid's eyes widened.
"Six hundred and fifty taels." The shopkeeper said seriously, "Three sets of clothes, made by high-level embroiderers, each set is two hundred and fifty taels. The three accessories have different prices, a total of fifty-five taels, five taels and zero. Receive fifty taels."
"What is made by a high-end embroiderer? Aren't you robbing it openly?" the maid said angrily.
The shopkeeper's face was serious, "Little girl, if you came here because of the reputation, you should know. These clothes, from fabric to design to tailoring, are all carefully selected and made by famous teachers and the most famous embroiderers in Kyoto." .
"We embroiderers who touch the fabric directly with our hands don't have to do the rough work of cleaning the table and sweeping the floor on weekdays! Even when we eat, we have someone to feed us!
"Why? Just to protect their hands from being rough and damaging the materials!
"Such expensive materials, so carefully treated, coupled with first-class design, tailoring, and embroidery, isn't it worth the money? We usually spend more than this to raise an embroiderer!"
The maid's eyes widened and she looked at the shopkeeper in disbelief.
It’s just a piece of clothing, so much detail?
"Some men's clothes are cheaper, why don't you look at others?" The shopkeeper's eyelids drooped, too lazy to say anything else.
All the women were secretly stunned, how expensive it is!
But it’s expensive for a reason... It seems impossible to wear it regularly, but for the New Year, it’s worth buying a set!
In particular, several young girls among them have already set their sights on the clothes Xu Liangdi picked up.
"Do you want to buy it? If not, let me see!" The lady was anxious.
"Liangdi..." The maid came to Xu Liangdi with an embarrassed look on her face.
They are not allowed to leave the palace on weekdays!
Today, during the twelfth lunar month, I asked for the prince's grace and went to a temple on the outskirts of Beijing to offer incense and pray for blessings.
The Crown Princess deducted Liang Di’s salary, and if she made the slightest mistake, she would deduct her salary as punishment...
Liang Di left the palace today with only three hundred taels, and she also donated one hundred and fifty taels of sesame oil money.
I bought some other gadgets, and now I have one hundred taels left...Isn't it even enough to buy a set of clothes?
How... how embarrassing!
"I've fallen in love with this suit you're wearing, and they don't have anything else in stock. If you don't want to buy it, take it off quickly... I'm reluctant, but I don't mind that you've already tried it on... Oh!"
A young lady said that she did not dislike him, but at the same time her face was filled with disgust and regret.
Even in front of the Crown Princess, Xu Liangdi has never suffered such a big setback!
She heard from the palace people that a new ready-to-wear shop had opened in Kyoto, and it had already spread among the dignitaries.
It is said that this clothing matching company will match the clothes to create wonderful highlights based on the identity, temperament and occasion of the wearer.
Keep it and let people put it on, it will make their eyes bright...
Having said that! But no one told her that the clothes were ridiculously expensive!
She said so many critical things before, but now if she can't afford it... so many ladies and ladies will laugh at her, right?
He thought she was poor, so he said mean words on purpose!
"Of course I want it!" Xu Liangdi held back her anger.
"Not only this set, but also the other two sets, I want them. It's just that I don't have so much cash with me."
"That's okay," the shopkeeper said with a smile, "Our shop also delivers to your door. You just need to leave your location and pay a deposit, and the boy will pack it and deliver it to your door."
"Okay!" Xu Liangdi stood up.
"Do you want all three sets? A total of 650 taels. You pay a deposit of 30%, 200 taels. The rest can be paid in one lump sum after it is delivered to your door." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Two hundred taels...
The maid looked at Xu Liangdi in embarrassment.
They don’t have two hundred taels now?
Xu Liangdi rolled her eyes...
"Go and change. Let's change out of these clothes first." Xu Liangdi said.
…
The excitement in the store could be seen clearly from the carriage parked on the roadside.
Fengchun was puzzled, "She refused to change just now. She seemed to just put on her clothes and leave. Why is she taking the initiative to change now?"
"If you don't have money to buy it, you can't wear it and leave!" Banxia responded.
"How could Xu Liangdi have no money? Maybe she didn't bring enough money to pay the deposit?" Fengchun muttered.
Wen Jin frowned and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly focused, "Ban Xia, go to the store and have a look. Don't let Xu Liangdi make small moves."
"Yes!" Banxia got off the carriage without saying a word.
Fengchun tilted his head, "What little trick are you doing?"
Not long after Banxia entered the shop.
Xu Liangdi came out of the private room.
"Look at your clothes, how can you say that they were made by a famous embroiderer! They were made by a pampered embroiderer who spent a lot of money! They are all fake!
"Are you all taken advantage of when you were guest officers? Do you dare to rip off guests like this in Kyoto?"
The maid screamed and shook the clothes away.
Where the clothes were sewn, there was a big gaping hole.
"Ah, I just tried it once and it's all disconnected?"
"My own embroiderer can't be so careless!"
"With such an expensive price, there really shouldn't be such a problem!"
"If I wear this at a banquet and suddenly the thread breaks... that would be so embarrassing!"
"No matter how new and beautiful the clothes are... you can't afford to embarrass this person!"
The guest officials shook their heads and put down the clothes they had just picked out.
Banxia squinted her eyes to observe.
"It's impossible. Our embroiderers strive for excellence. The clothes will go through multiple inspections before and after they are delivered. There will be no such problems!" Yingxiang said vigorously.
"Then you are saying that we deliberately damaged your clothes?" The maid stared at Yingxiang, "There are no signs of damage to your clothes. How can we still go out on the street with scissors?"
Yingxiang frowned.
Before she could say anything, Banxia suddenly stepped forward and poked the maid on the shoulder and neck.
The maid felt her body suddenly soften, "What are you doing..."
Before she finished speaking, Banxia turned over her wrist.
Opening her sleeves to reveal her sleeve pocket - in full view of everyone, he took out a sharp hairpin and a ball of thread in the same color as her clothes.
The truth comes out.
Everyone was sighing.
"Oh my god, how can there be such a person? If you can't afford it, you can't afford it! He even damages his clothes on purpose!"
"I told you I like that set... She couldn't afford it and she broke it! How insidious!"
…
All the women looked down upon the behavior of Xu Liangdi's master and servant.
Xu Liangdi originally wanted to regain her face... but she never thought that she would be even more embarrassed.
Amid everyone's jeers and jeers, the master and servant left the shop in dejection.
"Xu Liangdi stays."
When the master and servant passed by Wen Jin's carriage, Wen Jin suddenly said.
Xu Liangdi paused, "Do you know me? Who are you? Come down and talk."
Wen Jin smiled and said, "Liangdi goes out in a hurry. She doesn't need to buy things by herself on weekdays. She doesn't understand the price situation. It's really understandable. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
Xu Liangdi's face looked better, "Isn't that right? Who can't afford it anymore? I wonder if you are?"
"By coincidence, I just have enough money to lend it to Liang Di. Ask Liang Di to buy those sets of clothes, and Liang Di will just write down the IOU."
Xu Liangdi's eyes were filled with joy, but she was defensive, "Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"
"Isn't it normal for a woman to help a woman? Besides, I'm not helping you in vain. When you pay back the money, just remember to add interest." Wen Jin said with a smile.
