Chapter 671: Bonding with Duobao Pavilion
If so, wouldn't she be resented by the shopkeeper? This old woman is really cruel.
Six silver hairpins must be worth a lot of money. She didn't want them all at once. It's obvious that the old woman resented the embroidery shop and her.
She was so generous, she must be rich. Look at her, then think about herself. She hesitated again and again for a piece of cloth. When she went out, she deliberately took all her savings with her. Even so, she still lacked a little to buy this piece of cloth.
Thinking of this, she suddenly came to her senses and felt bad.
She didn't bring enough money. If she had known, she would not be impulsive.
She was hesitant because she was short of money. She was thinking about how to ask her companions to borrow some money. She didn't expect it to come to this.
Seeing that the waiter and the shopkeeper were looking at her eagerly, she couldn't speak for a while. She walked to the counter hesitantly and took out her purse slowly, which made the shopkeeper look anxious.
Until she emptied her purse, it was still not enough, so she could only look at the shopkeeper with a red face.
"... I was in a hurry to go out today, and I didn't bring enough money. Can I ask someone to send it to the shopkeeper later?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, his head was immediately big. It turned out that after making such a fuss for a long time, this person didn't even bring enough money, and she yelled for others to return the cloth to her.
Even so, she said shamelessly that she would give her 20 more coins? She didn't even have enough money to pay, how could she give more?
Seeing the shopkeeper and the waiter staring at her in disbelief. The contemptuous look after the surprise made her want to find a hole to crawl into.
"I was in a hurry to go out today, and I really didn't bring enough money..."
The more she spoke, the less confident she became. This girl Ma lowered her head in shame. Where was the arrogance just now?
The shopkeeper slapped the waiter to death in anger. This bastard has been working for several years and still has no taste.
Can't tell which one is the rich man. Although the one in front of me has some backers, what does her backers have to do with the embroidery workshop?
How many strings of money can she send to their embroidery workshop in a month? She doesn't even have the money for a piece of cloth, but she still caused so much trouble. Now she wants to buy on credit, how is that possible?
"Miss Ma, don't joke with us. We all know that you are the niece of the county magistrate. How could you be without money?"
Hearing the shopkeeper's doubts, the girl next to her also looked over curiously.
"Juan Niang, did you really not bring enough money?"
Ma Juan was stared at by them, her face was red, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a pickled vegetable.
"You called me to go out shopping, and I was in a hurry to go out, so I neglected to check my purse."
The girl listened to Ma Juan's explanation and nodded.
"I see. Don't worry. I have some. I'll lend it to you first."
As she said that, she pulled down the purse on her waist, poured out two dimes from it, and put one dimes on the counter.
"Here, check out."
When Ma Juan held the batch of plum greens, they walked hand in hand to the street.
"Thank you, Rong Niang. You saved me today."
"Oh, we are sisters. Why are you being polite? Everyone has a time of negligence. Just pay attention next time."
Ma Juan pulled the corner of her mouth and nodded. Although she agreed, she felt bitter in her heart.
This is all her belongings. Although her aunt gave her two hundred coins pocket money every month. That little money is not enough to buy balm and ointment.
If her aunt hadn't subsidized her a little in private, she would not be able to save even this little money.
"By the way, Juanniang, you are in such a hurry to buy cloth, are you going to the Zhang family to attend the banquet?"
"Yes, my aunt received a letter from the Zhang family this morning saying that they will hold a master's banquet the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow? That's too rushed, I'm afraid you won't be able to make the clothes in time."
Ma Juanniang nodded and frowned. The Zhang family is a scholarly family, and my aunt said she would take her out to see some of the world.
She also said that on that day, all the prominent figures in the county would attend, and she would take her to see the world.
"I also think it's a bit rushed, but the letter from the Zhang family said the day after tomorrow, so I can only hurry up. If I can't make it in time, forget it."
Perhaps because of the time rush, my aunt didn't mention making new clothes.
But the clothes in her closet were half-new and half-old. Wearing old clothes to such an important banquet would definitely make people laugh.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and decided to pay for a new set of clothes herself.
Li Rongrong glanced at the cloth in her arms,
"If you need it, I can help you."
"No need, you have helped me a lot today, I will go back now, whether I can wear it depends on luck."
Duobao Pavilion.
Bai Yunxi looked at the old silver hairpin she chose, and was very satisfied. One was in the shape of a ginkgo leaf, and a pomegranate flower with a small silver bead hanging.
The one she chose for Wenyou was still an orchid hairpin. Then she chose one for each of her daughters and daughters-in-law. She also bought a pair of silk flowers for Yaya.
Tomorrow she will go to the Zhang family to pay respect to her master, and she also has to prepare meeting etiquette for Zhang Yishan.
After looking around, Bai Yunxi chose a hollow carved silver bracelet. There were two plum blossoms hanging at the buckle position, which looked very delicate.
Bai Yunxi asked the shopkeeper to pack up all the accessories she chose, and paid for them before leaving Duobao Pavilion with satisfaction.
Wenyou reminded in a low voice after walking a few steps away.
"Just now, the waiter from the embroidery shop followed us for a few steps."
Listening to Wenyou's reminder, Bai Yunxi curled the corners of his mouth.
"Don't pay attention to him, he just wants to see what we bought."
They have no connection with the embroidery shop, and all the business they have made can be returned, so it is good that they have no grudges.
When we returned to the inn, Xiao Wu was already back, and Zhang Yishan was also back with him.
Seeing Baiyun Xi, the little girl rushed over directly.
"Aunt Bai, why didn't you go directly to your home when you came? Why are you still staying in an inn? My mother said that I must take you back today no matter what. When you come to the county in the future, you can just go directly to your home. There is no need to stay in an inn. ”
Seeing the little girl smiling and holding her arm, Bai Yunxi patted her hand with a smile and pulled the little girl into the room.
"The day after tomorrow is the apprenticeship ceremony. Your family will definitely be very busy. Aunt Bai won't cause trouble. She will just come to your door the day after tomorrow."
It is not a trivial matter for the dean to accept a disciple, if she is right. On the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, prominent figures in the county will inevitably come to congratulate him.
The Zhang family was holding a banquet and was so busy that they couldn't move their hands away. How could she have the nerve to cause trouble again?
"Aunt Bai is overthinking it. That day was originally an apprenticeship banquet held for junior brother. You are the most important people."
Zhang Yishan said, shaking Bai Yunxi's arm.
"We started preparations when we came back from Aunt Bai's house. Today we received a message from Aunt Bai. All we need to do is follow the rules. It's not too busy."
"Then I can't cause trouble for you."
