Chapter 227 Small Clothing Shop
Jiang Xuan sat in the Yunchen Inn, recalling everything that happened before entering the city...

That day, Jiang Xuan knew that the young man from Yuji Clothing Store used the excuse of going to deal with a problem, but in fact he wanted to tactfully let him leave.

Although Jiang Xuan was determined to take back the plain brocade robe his mother gave him, he must meet Lao Yu and see his condition with his own eyes.

But Jiang Xuan is not a person who doesn't know what's good for him.

From what Jiang Xuan saw, although the young man in the clothing store looked relatively friendly, he definitely wanted to drive him away.

Obviously, Jiang Xuan couldn't get anything useful out of the young man even if he stayed in Yuji Clothing Store any longer.

Since the young man had been staying in the store the whole time and there was no chance for Jiang Xuan to ask other employees, he thought it would be better to leave first and make plans later.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Xuan exchanged a few polite words with the young man and left Yu Ji Clothing Store.

After leaving Yu Ji Clothing Store, Jiang Xuan walked around the street for a long time. He found that he had an impression of many places on the street.

When this situation occurred, Jiang Xuan attributed most of the reasons to Wei Li.

"Maybe it's because of the battle with Wei Li that I have such a deep impression of this place!" Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

Jiang Xuan was walking on the road, but not aimlessly.

He was considering which shops near Yuji Clothing Store might be places where he could get information.

Just as Jiang Xuan was walking on the road and thinking, he turned a corner and heard the voice of a woman who still sounded a little childish.

"Sir, do you want to buy some clothes? But you can't find anything suitable at Yuji Clothing Store?"

Jiang Xuan turned around and followed the voice of the woman behind him, only to find that the woman's voice was directed at him.

The moment Jiang Xuan turned his head, the woman's face suddenly turned red.

However, Jiang Xuan is not so sensitive to these aspects.

He only saw that the person standing in front of him was a girl of about eleven or twelve years old.

The girl was wearing a lilac outer robe with a light-colored pleated skirt underneath.

In the dimming light, the thin strips of shiny satin on the pleated skirt at the feet appeared to flicker.

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, although the clothes worn by the girl in front of him were not expensive in terms of material, the person who made this dress must have spent a lot of time and effort on it.

The clothes don’t look expensive overall, but they are very stylish and suitable for young girls.

"Sir, would you like to pick out some clothes?" the girl's voice came again.

"That's possible." Jiang Xuan said to the girl.

Jiang Xuan had no intention of entering the shop behind the girl.

The shop behind the girl is located at the corner of the street.

The whole store looks very low-key, even small and shabby.

All of these are due to the old age of the store.

The shop in front of him was not within Jiang Xuan's consideration at all.

Jiang Xuan originally wanted to find a pub or a noisy store so that he could find out something.

Such a quiet clothing store was obviously no longer an option that Jiang Xuan had thought of.

The shabby little clothing store in front of me is completely different from Yu Ji Clothing Store, which is just an old shop with a plaque.

It was obvious that the owner of the shop in front of him had not put much thought into the appearance of the shop.

Since the girl invited him like this, and she was much younger than him, Jiang Xuan naturally felt embarrassed to refuse a child like her.

I guess there's nothing particularly important going on, so I can just stroll around for a bit first. "Then sir, please follow me!" Seeing Jiang Xuan willing to enter the store, the girl's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

As the girl walked into the store, Jiang Xuan discovered that the inside of the store was completely different from the outside.

The entire store was kept clean and tidy, without a trace of dirt or mess.

"Xiaoxiao, have the clothes been delivered?"

Hearing a woman's voice, Jiang Xuan looked around the store, but could not see the source of the voice.

Following the girl's response, Jiang Xuan saw the owner of the previous voice.

"Yes, mother, it has been sent." The girl answered the voice.

"Oh, then..." Along with the voice, a woman walked out from behind the curtain.

However, the moment the woman saw Jiang Xuan standing next to the girl, her voice stopped.

"Xiaoxiao, who is this young man?" The woman spoke to the girl, but her eyes were fixed on Jiang Xuan, and she was a little dazed for a moment.

"Mother, this guest is here to look at clothes in the store." The girl smiled lightly and replied to her mother.

"Look at me, maybe it's because I'm old that my brain isn't working well." After hearing what the girl said, the woman also turned her gaze away from Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan saw all of this.

There was nothing wrong with the girl, but Jiang Xuan always felt that there was something strange about this woman.

Why was she staring at Jiang Xuan so closely?
Moreover, that look didn't seem to have any unpleasant meaning.

If there was anything wrong, it was the hesitation and momentary distraction in the woman's eyes.

When he saw Jiang Xuan, it was like seeing someone familiar, but for a moment he didn't dare to recognize him.

Even Jiang Xuan himself couldn't explain this feeling.

The woman was so absent-minded that she actually forgot that she was running a clothing store, and the visitor, Jiang Xuan, was a customer.

This was also Jiang Xuan's first time in this store. When he heard the woman talking about him like that, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to respond.

At this point, Jiang Xuan smiled and changed the subject: "Why don't you consider making a plaque?"

Before entering the shop, Jiang Xuan did not see any sign in front of the door to indicate that it was a clothing store.

Hearing this, the woman smiled and shook her head, saying, "Plaques can easily cause trouble. My mother and I have no one to rely on, so we'd rather live a stable life."

Jiang Xuan nodded, and understood what the woman said.

"Does this shop have a name?" Jiang Xuan asked again.

"There is a name." When the woman mentioned this, the loneliness on her face deepened a little, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's called Xiaoxiao Clothing Store." the woman said again.

"A small clothing store." Jiang Xuan muttered to himself, then nodded: "It's quite unique."

Hearing the handsome young man in front of her say this, the woman could hardly hide the joy on her face.

The woman was not shy about speaking. As if she had just opened up, she said to Jiang Xuan, "My daughter is called Xiaoxiao. It was her father who gave her the name."

"When he was young, his father always said that I had the skill of making clothes and that he would open a clothing store for me in the future."

"Back then, we were even poorer than we are now, and we didn't dare dream of anything else. He said we should take it slow and open a small clothing store first."

"But later, before his daughter was born, his father disappeared and could not be found."
