I was flattered after crossing
Chapter 6: Like a duck in water
I looked carefully at the prince's clothes today. It was the white suit with dark patterns that I couldn't see clearly a few days ago.
I squinted my eyes to try to see clearly what the pattern was, and then I reached out and lifted the sleeves of Xiao Zhengxuan's long gown to look out the window to borrow the light.
It turned out to be white jacquard cloud pattern silk! It's really beautiful! Especially the white color, it makes the prince look like a banished immortal~
"What are you doing! What are you doing! You are staring at the prince shamelessly! You were doing the same thing a few days ago. You are simply a pervert!" Seventeen suddenly scolded me.
How could he be such a pervert? He saw a good-looking boy in our place and went up to him and asked for his WeChat.
If you two go there, you will be like Tang Seng rejecting the female demon. You cannot laugh.
I cleared my throat and said, "Uh... it's like this, my eyesight is not good, I have to squint to see clearly. Especially since the fabric is white, and I have a bit of astigmatism, so I can't see the pattern clearly."
He immediately put down his sleeves, bowed and said to Xiao Zhengxuan: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
The prince retracted his sleeves and said softly, "It's okay."
In order to get out of this awkward atmosphere, I bowed to Xiao Zhengxuan and left.
"Master, what is astigmatism?"
"Maybe she has an eye disease. If she doesn't get better in a few days, ask the court doctor to check her out."
A few days later, the tailors in our store made the clothes according to my drawings. I also asked a carpenter to make a few human clothes hangers, which are modern models. After matching the clothes, they were placed at the door of the store.
I just don’t believe that I can’t charm these girls from the imperial city.
That afternoon, the threshold of our silk shop was almost broken down by people.
I wore a lotus-colored crabapple jacquard tube top with a goose yellow double-necked short top, and tucked the top into the ivory-white plain gauze pleated skirt. It was beautiful and not stuffy to wear in the summer.
She was wearing just this outfit, and she was walking around the store pretending to be a model. People could look at her casually, and even if they didn't understand the material, they could still touch it.
I also told them how to dress and what jewelry to match. The shopkeeper and the waiter enthusiastically explained the fabrics to the ladies.
This business became popular all of a sudden. Since there were no ready-made clothes and they had to be custom-made, the ladies of wealthy families spent a fortune to get the materials and the working hours.
After a busy day, we closed the shop and sat down on the floor.
The tailor said his hands hurt from writing work orders today. The clerk said his shoulders hurt from carrying cloth from the warehouse, and the shopkeeper said his fingers hurt from using the abacus. After that, the three of them looked at me, and I pursed my throat and said, "I twisted my back so much that it hurts!"
Xiao Zhengxuan and Shiqi happened to hear us laughing outside the store. When they stepped in, they saw cloth piled on the floor and four people slumped over on the ground.
The four of us were also surprised when we saw Xiao Zhengxuan, and immediately stood up and greeted him.
Xiao Zhengxuan smiled at me and said, "You seem to be in your element here."
"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's good planning that he found something I like." He flattered him obediently.
"Your Highness, to be honest, Miss Xiaoxu really has some business acumen. Since she came to the store, our business has been getting better and better, and we are almost too busy to handle it now!" said the boss honestly.
Xiao Zhengxuan nodded and looked at me, "That's good, let's go back home."
Okay, I ran to the inner room and got the shoulder bag that Uncle Li, the tailor, had taken the time to make for me a few days ago. I said hello to them and followed Xiao Zhengxuan and Shiqi out.
When I came out, the sun had just set and it was not dark yet, but my stomach was growling. Then I remembered that we were so busy that we didn't have time to eat lunch.
Xiao Zhengxuan seemed to hear my stomach growling and tilted his head to look at me.
I said, "I was so busy today that I forgot to have lunch."
Seeing him frown, I hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's always like this when I work overtime. You won't starve to death if you skip a meal."
Then he told Seventeen, "Seventeen, let's go to Qianweilou for dinner and not go back home."
After walking two blocks, we arrived at Qianweilou. I stared at this luxurious restaurant in amazement, and when I looked inside, I saw that it was brightly lit.
When I was sighing that this was just like what was shown in a TV series, Seventeen elbowed me and said, "Put away your ignorant look and stop embarrassing our prince."
I nodded quickly, lowered my stunned jaw, and followed them into the restaurant happily.
This is a three-story attic building. The first floor is arranged with scattered seats, the second floor is divided into private seats by screens, and the third floor is a private room with a street view.
When the boss saw Xiao Zhengxuan, he immediately came out from behind the counter to greet him, and then personally took us to the private room on the third floor with the best view, called "Moon Viewing Pavilion".
Sure enough, standing by the window and looking out, you can see singing and dancing on the stone boat in the river not far away. The reflection of the moon in the water echoes the moon in the sky. It makes you sigh that not everyone can appreciate such a beautiful scenery.
So I reached back and touched the non-existent fox tail, and laughed foolishly.
When I came to my senses, I saw the master and servant staring at me with a look of disgust on their faces...
I am not embarrassed, the embarrassment is for others.
The food arrived soon after. The waiter read out the names of the dishes as he served them: "Steamed lamb, chicken and goose with bamboo shoots, rabbit with green onions, deer trotters, trough twigs, honey pickled tofu, lychee wine, pear juice, and milk cake. The dishes for the nobles are all here. Please enjoy."
Four meat dishes and two vegetable dishes for three people, a dessert, a pot of wine and a pot of drink. What kind of family can prepare this!
"Your eyeballs are about to fall into the plate!" Seventeen said, looking at my confused expression.
I put on a sinister look and stared at Seventeen, putting his hand under his eyes, pretending to take his eyes. Seventeen immediately shuddered, raised his arms and clasped his hands in a salute to me. Hehe, let me take you back to the terrifying moment!
Xiao Zhengxuan suppressed his laughter, cleared his throat and said to me: "Eat quickly, aren't you hungry?"
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty~"
Steamed lamb needs to be eaten with a spoon. The lamb melts in your mouth without any fishy smell. The tender bamboo shoots in the chicken and goose are soaked with the taste of chicken soup, which is unique. My favorite is the scallion-sprinkled rabbit. It smells good and tastes even better, which is suitable for my stomach that loves spicy food. Every dish is delicious, each with its own characteristics and I have never eaten it before. Afterwards, I drank a lot of lychee wine. This wine is not too strong, cold and sweet, very comfortable!
After eating and drinking, I walked out of the restaurant. The lights outside were already on and the night was getting dark. The night market was very lively, with people selling snacks, lanterns, paintings, and even fortune tellers.
I stood there in a daze, wondering if I should get a fortune-teller to see if there was a chance to go back.
The fortune teller looked up at me and said, "Miss, do you want to tell me your marriage? One tael of silver for one divination!"
I quickly shook my head and murmured, "No, no, it's not a marriage." But because I was still chewing a piece of milk cake that I had just brought out from Qianweilou, I couldn't make a normal sound.
The fortune teller shook his head regretfully: "A good girl can't even speak. I'm afraid this marriage is..."
Xiao Zhengxuan came over and glared at him, then I took it away.
"Want to calculate your marriage?" He asked me with a sidelong glance facing forward.
I chewed it a few times quickly, swallowed the cake and said, "It's not a marriage. I just want to know what kind of opportunity is needed to wear it back."
"Do you want to go back so much?" he asked again.
