Chapter 33

Lin Xinghuai has never seen a girl wearing men's clothes, although this girl's clothes have no sense of violation, and even have a feeling of being expensive.

"Yue Zhu, what are you..."

Li Yuezhu took the patched tattered clothes from the shopkeeper. The clothes were wrapped in oil paper and tied with a beautiful ribbon.

"Shopkeeper, let me ask." Since Li Yuezhu changed his clothes, he seemed like a different person. He spoke with an imposing tone: "Do you accept embroidery here?"

"Take it, take it." The shopkeeper was intimidated by Li Yuezhu's rising momentum.

"How much does it cost?"

The shopkeeper calmed down and cleared his throat. He felt that it was a shame to be intimidated by the aura of a little girl.

"It depends on how good your embroidery is. If your embroidery is good, an embroidery can be sold for one or two taels of silver. If the embroidery is not good, it can only be sold for 20 to 50 taels of silver."

Li Yuezhu didn't expect the gap to be so big, "Can you show me those embroidery items that are of poor quality?"

There are indeed a lot of embroideries in the ready-to-wear shop. These embroideries are all very similar. They are nothing more than flowers, birds, fish and insects, and some mandarin ducks that represent auspiciousness.

Li Yuezhu was picking through this large pile of embroidery, and found many exquisite embroideries among the embroidery that was regarded as inferior by the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, if you don't tell me secret words, I want these embroideries, so just give me a price." Li Yuezhu's aura increased in vain, and his eyes were a little sharp.

The shopkeeper, who had already stabilized his mentality, felt nervous. Whose girl was this girl from? She was so powerful.

The shopkeeper looked at the embroidery pieces that Li Yuezhu picked up. Although they were not good, they were not much worse.

"Since the young man and the little girl are so cheerful, I will also give you a cheerful price, forty-five cents each, how about it?"

"I can only give you thirty coins. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell the shopkeeper that I will buy these embroideries from you for a long time. Instead of keeping them in my hands, you might as well sell them to me at a low price."

Now the shopkeeper was even more puzzled. This little girl was really strange. When we first met, she was wearing patchwork clothes. When she came to the clothing store, she didn't choose a beautiful dress for herself, but picked a man's dress. This is also true.

Forget it, how can a girl show up outside wearing men's clothes, even if she is a ten-year-old girl.

Now he is talking about purchasing his embroidery products for a long time, which is unpredictable, really unpredictable.

"What, boss, don't you want to sell?" Li Yuezhu's voice was three points lower. Li Yuezhu lowered his voice and looked more like a boy.

"Sell, sell, sell, why not?" The shopkeeper now came back to his senses: "But thirty cents is too low, so you don't want thirty cents, and I don't want forty-five cents. Let's fold it."

How about a deal of forty cents if you win?"

Li Yuezhu shook his head: "It seems that the shopkeeper is not sincere."

"Hey, sister-in-law, we also purchased this, and there is a cost. That's it. Thirty-five cents, don't keep it low, it's a small business, it won't make you much money."

Li Yuezhu glanced at the sweaty shopkeeper and nodded: "Okay, thirty-five cents, how much do you think they cost?"

"Sister-in-law, please take a look. These are two hundred and thirty-one pieces of embroidery, totaling eight taels of silver and eighty-five cents. Including the cotton shirt you are wearing, the total is nine taels of silver and eighty-five cents.

"

"Give me a sewing box." Li Yuezhu had no objection to the price. Seeing that several colors of thread were missing from her mother's sewing basket, she asked the shopkeeper to give her a sewing box.

"Okay, okay, my aunt, please take it."

After leaving the clothing store with a small bag of embroidery and his own clothes, Lin Xinghuai took the initiative to take the heavy bag and carried it on his shoulders.

"Sister-in-law, where should we go next?" Lin Xinghuai said to Li Yuezhu, imitating the owner of the clothing store.

"Go to the jewelry store."

Li Yuezhu led the way, and Lin Xinghuai followed behind carrying a baggage. From a distance, Lin Xinghuai, who was wearing silk and satin, seemed to be Li Yuezhu's entourage.

When he walked to the jewelry shop, there were not many people in the shop. Tao Dashui lowered his head and fiddled with his abacus. He heard someone knocking on the table. When he looked up, he saw that it was the noble man from last time.

"Hey, young master, you are here."

Tao Dashui looked to the side and saw that the little girl's entourage was very talented. The clothes the little girl was wearing this time were obviously not hers. It was a fat and big gown. Seeing the little girl's high-spirited appearance, Tao Dashui

It further confirmed my guess.

"Young master, are you here to pick up something this time? The things have been prepared for you a long time ago." He nodded and bowed, took out a regular sandalwood box from the cabinet, and handed it to Li Yuezhu respectfully with both hands.

Li Yuezhu took it with one hand, opened the box a little, and after confirming that the items were correct, he put them into his arms with satisfaction.

Lin Xinghuai looked even more strange from behind. Who is this little girl? Isn't she a down-and-out little girl wearing a patchwork and living in the countryside? Why is the shopkeeper of this jewelry shop so respectful to her?

And the box just now, if he read it correctly, should be a sandalwood box. Although this sandalwood box is not as precious as rosewood, it must be worth a few taels of silver. Lin Xinghuai is really curious about what is inside.

"Boss, do you have any plain earrings here?"

"Some, some don't know who the young master bought it for."

"A woman in her thirties should be more simple."

"Hey, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. We have plain silver earrings, ring earrings, and white jade earrings over there. You can see what you like. If you don't like these, you can also provide us with the drawings, and we'll find someone specially.

Call you."

Li Yuezhu looked at these earrings. They looked good, but they were too gorgeous and not suitable for her mother to wear now.

After choosing from left to right, Li Yuezhu chose the white jade earrings. They were very simple and concise, just right for her mother.

"That's it, boss, wrap it up."

"Hey, okay." Tao Dashui originally thought that the little girl would buy some more things. After all, he had given her more than nine thousand taels of silver before. Unexpectedly, the little girl actually chose the cheapest white jade earrings.

After buying the earrings, Li Yuezhu took Lin Xinghuai out of the jewelry store and took him to the secluded alley where she had changed clothes.

"Xinghuai is waiting here. I'll go in and change my clothes." Li Yuezhu took the clothes bag in Lin Xinghuai's hand and ran into the alley to change clothes.

When Li Yuezhu came out after changing clothes, Lin Xinghuai was still stunned. The gap between before and after was too big. Before changing clothes, he was a cold and arrogant young man, but after changing clothes, he became the little girl next door.

Li Yuezhu looked at Lin Xinghuai, who was staring blankly at her, and waved her hand in front of his eyes: "What, are you stupid? Don't you recognize me?"

Hearing Li Yuezhu's question, Lin Xinghuai came to his senses. He shook his head awkwardly: "No, no." He was embarrassed, saying that he was frightened by her ever-changing appearance.

After taking things and buying gifts, Li Yuezhu was ready to go home. On the way back, Li Yuezhu bought some lotus roots, a large winter melon, two kilograms of soybeans, and some apricots.

This apricot was bought for Xiao An. He heard from his mother last night that apricots were coming, so he kept clamoring for them.

Li Yuezhu carried these light things, including winter melon and lotus root, to Lin Xinghuai, who had been following her.

On the way back, Li Yuezhu handed Lin Xinghuai one tael of silver: "You have been with me for a day and helped me carry so many things. In recognition of your hard work, I will reward you with this tael of silver."
