Chapter 23
The next day, the rain stopped early, and a round of red sun burst out early in the morning, which was an extremely rare sunny day.After Yan Li finished his breakfast, he went to Mrs. Wei's room to say hello.Mrs. Wei sent someone to seal the gift long ago, and after a few more exhortations, she said: "Let's leave early, so as not to make people wait and lose etiquette."
Yan Li thought that he happened to go there to buy some things, so he quickly agreed, and ordered the servant to carry the things, and then went back to his own courtyard to check everything for himself. Several servants came straight to Wangyue Teahouse with their things in their hands.
This Wangyue Tea House is located in the most prosperous place in the city, and there are crowds of people in front of the door, which is really lively.After Yan Li arrived with his people, Xiao Er enthusiastically led them to the reserved box on the second floor.
At this time, there was still an hour before the agreed time, so there was no one in the box.After Yan Li came in, he arranged for a few people to drink tea in the private room, while he himself took Song'er out of the tea house, and slowly searched along a row of shops, hoping to find a good-looking royal winter dress to bring to him. Daiyu.Coincidentally, after visiting seven or eight shops, I suddenly saw a gorilla felt cloak hanging in a tailor shop.Yan Li knew that this kind of clothes must be common in Rongguo Mansion, and Daiyu came out in a hurry, so he would not bring out such cumbersome clothes, so he was overjoyed, hurriedly pushed the door in, and asked the shopkeeper, "This one How much silver does the cloak cost?"
Seeing that his face was handsome and handsome, and his clothes were all good, the shopkeeper put on a smiling face and greeted warmly: "This young man has really good eyesight, this is a gorilla felt cloak, it is very expensive, it's not me Bragging, I'm afraid you won't be able to find another one in our city!"
Yan Li smiled and said: "The shopkeeper was joking. Although this cloak is expensive, it is not so rare. To tell you the truth, I saw one in the west of the city a while ago, and it is even better than yours. !"
"Impossible?!" The shopkeeper showed a look of surprise, and said to himself, "That boy Wang Qi clearly said that there is only such a piece. Could it be that I was deceived by that boy?" Realizing the slip of the tongue, he hurriedly stopped and said with a smile, "My lord, since I saw one before, why didn't you buy it?"
Yan Li shook his head calmly and said: "It's an old one. I was afraid of unknown origin, so I didn't dare to ask for it. ——The shopkeeper, this one is also old, right?" The cloak was off for him to examine.
The shopkeeper smiled confidently, ordered Xiao Er to carefully take off the cloak and hand it to Yan Li, patted his chest and assured him: "My lord, you can rest assured, this cloak is specially brought from the south by me. Those who came back, no matter the material or the workmanship, it is unique, and this cloak is not picky, it can be worn by both men and women, and it is luxurious and generous, no matter who wears it, it is very noble!"
Yan Li didn't listen to the man boasting, he just took the cloak in his hand and looked at it carefully, seeing that this cloak is really excellent, it feels very textured in his hands, and he couldn't put it down for a while.But on the face, he still looked calm, and said slowly: "That's all, how much money do you want?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out a finger, and said decisively: "One price, 100 taels of silver!"
"100 taels? Are you robbing?" Yan Li put the cloak on the cabinet with a smile, and reminded meaningfully, "You don't know the shopkeeper, right now, the capital is in turmoil. It is said that a lot of orangutan felt cloaks have been copied. I heard that some unscrupulous people secretly stole a few of them, processed them secretly, and put them on sale in the shop openly. Shopkeeper, you know this If the object is to be found out, what crime should it be?"
"This...what does this have to do with me?" The shopkeeper didn't know when cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he reluctantly argued, "Whether what you say is true or not, it has nothing to do with me. What I put here is all of clear origin. Yes, there will never be such stolen goods!"
"Hehe, it would be great if that's the case. I just said it casually, just to remind the shopkeeper, don't let someone frame you, and you are still counting money for others!" Walk.
"My lord, stop!" The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped her, and said earnestly, "Thank you for reminding me, lord, I can't repay you. Since you like this cloak, please take it. I just ask you to keep your mouth shut."
Yan Li was stunned, Ying frowned, turned around uncomfortably and asked in a low voice: "What does the shopkeeper mean, is this cloak really not that simple?"
"No, no, absolutely not!" The shopkeeper swears hastily pointing to the sky, "I dare to guarantee with my life that this cloak is absolutely clean. If you don't believe me, you can go to a man named Wang Qi. The South brought it back for me..."
"Okay, since it is clean, then I will trust you. But you also spent a lot of money to come in, how can I get it for nothing? How about this, if the shopkeeper is not too small, I will leave 50 taels of silver, hello In addition, I will give you another ten taels to help me pack a few good winter clothes, and don’t look for any more!" After speaking, Song Er took out 60 taels of silver and put them on the table .
The shopkeeper couldn't help being overjoyed, he hurriedly ordered someone to wrap a few women's winter clothes, and carefully wrapped the cloak before sending Yan Li out respectfully.
After Yan Li left the shop, he wandered around a few shops casually, and added some winter clothes for himself, Song Er, Bai Er, Li Bo and others, and then led the two of them back to Moon-watching Teahouse contentedly.
A few people went up to the second floor, and when they looked up, they saw a few servants who were left behind standing nervously at the door. When they saw him coming up, they hurriedly greeted him, and whispered back: "My lord, you are back, there are people inside." The girl has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Girl? Where did the girl come from?" Yan Li was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking of Daiyu, agitated for a moment, and was about to step in.When he got to the door, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he quickly stopped and thought, Daiyu has been in Fenglianzhuang all along, she didn't know that she was going to meet guests here today, so why did she suddenly find this place?Thinking about it this way, the original impulse in my heart slowly faded away, and I turned around and asked: "What is the girl's last name, can you ask me clearly?"
The family member shook his head and said: "That girl looks like a lady of everyone, we rough people like us, how dare we go to interrogate, sneak out and wait for the young master."
"Trash!" Yan Li glared at him, and scolded, "You don't even dare to ask your last name, what use are you?" After speaking, he stopped talking to them, and just pushed the door open and walked into the room.
