Chapter 6 You still have the face to go out
Zhong Ning suddenly opened his eyes wide. Of course she knew about the post in the palace, but...
"This matter can't be done. Do you know how many ladies and young ladies from rich families will be there? Your marriage just had an accident. Showing up at this time doesn't mean sending it in front of others to make people chew their tongues."
Shen Li slandered.
"If you don't show up, others won't chew it. Hiding at home is tantamount to deceiving yourself."
She blurted out while thinking.
"And many of the rumors outside are unfounded. Jin's mother also said how frustrated I was after being divorced by his family. If I didn't come forward to clarify, wouldn't it be true for those rumors."
Zhong Ning was at a loss for words, and his delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, but she didn't expect this level.
"But I don't feel relieved if you go alone."
Shen Li: "How about you go with me?"
Zhong Ning immediately shook his head, she is a widow, she has been notorious as a Koff all these years, and she is not welcome anywhere, she originally planned to marry Shen Li, and it was considered as a fulfillment of the task, but now everything is messed up.
Zhong Ning's mind was in a mess, taking advantage of her sigh, Shen Li took two steps back, showing a cunning face.
"Mom, think about it again, I'll go out for a stroll first, let's go."
By the time Zhong Ning came to his senses, Shen Li had slipped into the middle of the yard.
Zhong Ning lost his mind for a while, and chased her and shouted a few words.
"Take two servants and go back quickly."
Shen Li: "Got it."
After Shen Li's figure completely disappeared at the gate, Zhong Ning realized it later.
How did she not know that Shen Li had such an idea before.
…
Shen Li didn't intend to go far, after all, neither she nor the original owner were familiar with the place.
Fortunately, the Earl's Mansion is not far from the downtown street. Shen Li walked around and saw many female relatives, most of whom were not covering their faces. She was relieved. It seems that the status of women in this dynasty is not bad.
Long Street can't be seen at a glance. There are all kinds of shops selling all kinds of things. There are many businessmen from other places coming and going. The economy is booming.
Shen Li caught a glimpse of a large cloth shop: "Xiao Shuang, how is it here?"
Xiaoshuang took a look, and the plaque read "Yihe Cloth Village" impressively, she nodded and said.
"This is the best cloth shop nearby. I heard that they also sell Shu brocade. In the past, only nobles in the palace could wear it."
Shen Li: "Okay, then here, go in and have a stroll."
Because Shen Li came early, there were not many people in the store, so she was greeted by the staff as soon as she entered.
"Guest officer, what kind of fabric do you want?"
At first glance, Shen Li was almost blinded by the colorful cloth, she didn't know where to start, so she asked directly.
"I heard that you have Shu brocade here?"
The guy shook his head when he heard Shen Li's question.
"Not now, the quantity of Shu brocade is small, and it is almost sold out every time it arrives."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden mess of voices from the door of the store. The guy's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said to himself.
"Hey? Our boss is back!"
Shen Li followed the buddy's line of sight, and saw a few burly men sending a carriage to each other, blocking the door mightily.
A fat man headed by wiped his forehead with a sweat towel as he walked into the house.
"Oh, I'm exhausted, Xiao Liu'er pour me a glass of water."
Waiting for the man to drink a few sips of water "gudong gudong" before his face calmed down.
"This trip was really strenuous. It was almost intercepted by bandits. Fortunately, I met someone from Yuansheng Escort Bureau."
After finishing speaking, Ma Ziming stood up, and he took some silver to give to the escort, with a grateful expression on his face.
"Thanks to you this time, a little bit of meaning, buy some wine for the brothers."
Zhao Feng didn't take the money, he just waved his hand and said proudly.
"That's unnecessary, just think about us next time you need to carry darts."
Ma Ziming: "Of course!"
He has a long memory this time, and next time he has to go to the **** agency to hold the goods. In case something happens, he has a cart of Shu brocade!
Looking at the dramatic scene in front of her, Shen Li suddenly felt that it was better to come sooner than later, so she smiled and said to Xiao Liu'er?
"Dude, is there Shu brocade now?"
Ma Ziming was taking inventory of the goods, and immediately turned around when he heard Shen Li's question.
It stands to reason that he has never seen any kind of beauty in this line of work, but even so, he was really taken aback after seeing Shen Li for the first time.
Shen Li smiled with two dimples, and her eyes were like mountain springs, as if she wanted to look at people.
Ma Ziming turned his eyes away in embarrassment, cleared his throat and said.
"Girl, to be honest, if you want Shu brocade, you have to book in advance, and the cloth for this cart has already been owned.
But you came by coincidence, there are just two extra horses in this batch. "
After seeing the two Shu brocades, Shen Li felt that she was really lucky today.
No wonder it's so popular, this fabric is so high-end that it can be seen with the naked eye, she now believes that it was only worn by palace people.
Shen Li said bluntly.
"I want it all."
However, as soon as the words fell, a person suddenly rushed out from the side, and snatched the cloth from Shen Li's hand.
The girl didn't realize that she was grabbing something just now, and said that she regarded Shen Li as air.
"Great, it's just right this time, shopkeeper, wrap it up for me."
Ma Ziming looked at the person who had just entered, and explained with embarrassment.
"The Shu brocade has just been ordered by that girl, why don't you two have a horse?"
After hearing this, Shen Jiao raised her eyes and looked over. It doesn't matter if she doesn't look at it, but she is happy when she sees it.
"Yo, isn't this Shen Li, you still have the face to go out."
Shen Li took a step back subconsciously, and Shen Jiao sneered when she saw it.
"It's good to know that you are afraid, and buy Shu brocade, can you afford it!"
Shen Li frowned and looked at the man in front of him who was baring his teeth and claws, and said indifferently.
"I'm afraid that your saliva will spray on me."
Shen Jiao is the daughter of her uncle's family. She was spoiled and spoiled ruthlessly.
After hearing Shen Li's words, Shen Jiao's face turned from red to white, half ashamed and half annoyed, she was silent for a long time.
After she realized it, she pointed at Shen Li and was about to curse, when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Shen Jiao was shocked.
"You dumb can actually speak?"
Shen Li really didn't dare to compliment her on her words, and didn't intend to quarrel with her in front of everyone, it was really a shame.
She made a gesture to get the two pieces of Shu brocade.
"This is what I wanted first."
Where is Shen Jiao willing to do anything, she has never lost in front of Shen Li.
Shen Jiao's face is bound to win.
"So what, shopkeeper, I'll pay double the amount you paid for this one! I want both!"
Ma Ziming didn't know why this young lady suddenly became generous. The last time she was asked to pay a deposit in advance, she didn't take it anyway.
He reported the number.
"One horse five taels."
Shen Jiao: "I pay ten taels, wrap it up for me."
Shen Li looked at her leisurely, "Twenty taels."
Shen Jiao was not to be outdone, "Thirty taels."
Shen Li: "Forty taels."
Shen Jiao widened her eyes: "Fifty taels!"
Shen Li stared at her for two seconds, then smiled suddenly, then turned to look at Ma Ziming.
"Fifty taels, the shopkeeper quickly wrapped it up for this girl."
After finishing speaking, Shen Li did not forget to remind Shen Jiao.
"Two horses, a total of one hundred taels, please."
