Chapter 1070: The troubled Xuanyuan Rong
"I'm sorry, two customers. The second person from my shop has not been properly investigated. Please forgive me for neglecting the two of you." When An An and Mrs. Su were about to leave, the shopkeeper came out to stop them, apologized and accompanies them again and again. With a smiling face, he led them to the other side, deliberately taking out all the best and softest fabrics and stacking them in front of them, letting them choose slowly.
The shopkeeper is still very discerning, and he naturally paid the same attention to An An at first glance as the shop assistant, but when he looked closely at Mrs. Su, he immediately discovered the problem.
You must know that Mrs. Su is the most senior in the general's house, and if there is anything good in the house, it must be close to her and old man Gu. Therefore, although the color of the clothes on her body is not eye-catching, the material is better than An An's.
The most important thing is that the shopkeeper has only seen fabrics that are as good as those of Mrs. Su a few times over the years. Naturally, the old man who understood this and had a local accent was definitely not an ordinary family, but must be the mother of some high-ranking official in the capital. Whether it was to take over the deal or to make good friends with the big officials behind him, he had to keep the old woman in front of him.
"An An, I'm too lazy to change the store. I think this manager is pretty good, why don't we just buy it here?" Mrs. Su was not an embarrassment. She took An An and followed the manager to another store. On the other hand, he turned over the fabric and said to An An.
An An pouted, she had never suffered such a bird's anger, and she was naturally unwilling, and after thinking about it, she cast a glance at the shopkeeper, "Alright, but I hope that I will never see that dog-eyed guy in the store again in the future. ."
"That's for sure, I'll turn him on when I turn around." When the shopkeeper discovered the poor performance of the second shopkeeper, he already had the intention of dismissing him. What is the capital? That's where the big officials and the small officials catch a lot of people. Who knows if the second shopkeeper will take a wrong look again and cause killings for the cloth village.
Only then did An An accompany Mrs. Su to choose the fabric, and soon they negotiated and selected several pieces of cloth, one of which was specially used by An An to practice. An An glanced at the shopkeeper who was watching and beckoned, and the shopkeeper rushed over, "Have you made your choice? These pieces of cloth are the latest ones, and each piece is fifty taels of silver."
This price is quite normal in Beijing, but An An understands it well but knows that Mrs. Su is used to saving and will not want it, so she didn't say anything and waited for Mrs. Su to bargain. When Mrs. Su heard the shopkeeper's words, she threw down the cloth with a cold face and wanted to leave. An An followed Mrs. Su silently and silently.
The shopkeeper was immediately stunned by this move, but subconsciously still remembered that he had to entertain this distinguished guest, and stopped Mrs. Su, "I don't know what the old lady is dissatisfied with, we can still discuss it."
"We all come to buy things sincerely. It's not good for you to offer such an inflated price?" Although Mrs. Su stopped, she didn't look back, and said sarcastically.
The price of 50 taels is definitely false to say that there is no moisture, but the fabric is indeed shipped from Jiangnan, and the cost has increased a lot, and the cost price has risen to about 30 taels. How could the shopkeeper say that he must be crying and calling himself a loss, "Old lady, how high my price is, this is already a very favorable price, you will understand when you ask elsewhere."
"Since you don't want to sell it, forget it." Madam Su said and continued to go out.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said sadly, "Forty-five taels, really can't be any lower."
The moment the shopkeeper opened his mouth to cut the price, Mrs. Su had a successful smile on her lips, but she turned around but remained expressionless, and then came to the shopkeeper, "No second price, twenty-five taels for one."
This time, the shopkeeper's cry was a lot more sincere. "Old lady, you are too good at bargaining. How can you cut it in half? I can't even get back the cost! How about forty-two?"
"Thirty taels." Madam Su said decisively. She also carefully observed the shopkeeper's expression and roughly figured out the cost of the cloth. The face of the twenty-five shopkeeper just now was very painful, but now the thirty-two has eased a lot. The cost should be around thirty-two, so she can probably win this batch of goods at a price of thirty-five taels.
"Forty taels, it really can't be any lower!" The shopkeeper had no power to fight back against Madam Su's bargaining price, and fell into Madam Su's trap from the very beginning. What's more, the shopkeeper still has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, hoping to have a relationship with the big official behind Mrs. Su, who will suffer if he doesn't suffer.
"Thirty-five taels, this is my bottom line."
"This is really not good, old lady, forty taels is really the cost price." The two were deadlocked in such a crucial bargaining round, but there was still a big gap in their performance. Old lady Su was calm, but the shopkeeper was sweating profusely.
However, just when the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and prepared to agree to the offer of thirty-five taels, a Xuanyuan Rong suddenly inserted in. She stepped forward and asked curiously, "Hey, the fabric here seems to be very good, how can the shopkeeper sell it?" The most important thing is that what she was touching was the cloth that Mrs. Su had chosen, obviously it was a bad visitor.
The shopkeeper of course knew who Xuanyuan Rong was. Xuanyuan Rong had a flamboyant temperament, so many shops selling rare items in the capital knew that she was the daughter of the Crown Prince. He hesitated for a moment, and decided to choose Xuanyuan Rong between Old Lady Su and Xuanyuan Rong, "The county master has a good eye, this is the best material that the shop specially brought back from Jiangnan, and it is the best to make clothes for children. "
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so aware of the current affairs, Xuanyuan Rong proudly raised her chin towards An An, and continued to murmur, "Then it seems that I'm lucky, I'm going to add a younger brother recently, and Lord Father is also happy, saying yes Own
Give him everything from now on. I want all of these cloths, hold them up for me. "
"Wait a minute, we saw these cloths first, why do you rob us?" An An stood up and stopped her with a cold brow. She didn't give her half-sister any face at all, and she didn't even want to recognize her at all. .
Xuanyuan Rong actually had the same thoughts as An An, because she turned her head in surprise, as if she just saw An An and Mrs. Su, "So it's An An, why did you come to the street to buy something, just now I'm really sorry to notice you, but it's also my wish to send it to the General's Mansion without waiting for something."
Probably because Xian was not disgusting enough, Xuanyuan Rong still looked at An An with sympathy and pity, "This new emperor's younger brother is born, and the father has a more legitimate son. If the small cost is not enough, the father will not be happy, and it is estimated that it will not be in the future. What happened to him, what should you do?"
