Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

A group of noble ladies walked into Linlang Pavilion excitedly, and the smile on Lin Zaozao's face was quite forced.

The things in Linlang Pavilion are really not cheap. Ordinary clothes cost hundreds of taels, and better ones cost thousands of taels.

She usually doesn't want to buy anything, but Bai Wanwan is different. She immediately said she wanted to buy several pieces of clothing and also pick out some jewelry.

This isn't just spending money; it's draining the family savings.

But now that things have come to this, there is no way to end it.

After entering Linlang Pavilion, I was not disappointed. There were so many styles of clothes, both ready-made and custom-made.

At this time, the shopkeeper came out. He looked at everyone, saluted gracefully, and said:

"Ladies, there's nothing special on this floor; it's all for ordinary people.

Let me take you to the second floor. That's where VIPs should stay.

Of course, we also have the third floor. I wonder if any of you ladies are interested? I can also accompany you up there to take a look."

The noble ladies around nodded quickly after hearing this.

The Linlang Pavilion itself is very large. If it were today, it would probably cover an area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

The shopkeeper led the group slowly around the second floor, his fingertips brushing against a water-green skirt as he introduced in a gentle voice:

"Ladies, please take a closer look. The fabrics of the clothes we have here are all carefully selected.

Like this one, it is made of brocade newly tributed from Jiangnan, woven with dark patterns of lotus. It feels dense to the touch and is as light as a cloud when worn.

The moon-white one is made of Hangzhou silk mixed with mulberry silk. It looks plain, but becomes more and more fitted the more you wear it, making it perfect for summer wear.

There are also these, which are made of brocade from Shu. The gold threads on them are all real gold threads, and the patterns are embroidered with peacock feather threads. You can see colorful light in the sunlight.

The style of our Linlang Pavilion has always been the best in Bianjing. The ladies in the palace often ask others to order it, and it cannot be imitated outside."

When people came closer to take a closer look, they saw that the embroidery on the clothes was truly amazing. Some of the clothes were embroidered with gold threads as fine as hairs, and the stitches were so dense that no traces could be seen.

Some are seed embroidery, with each knot round and full, like pearls dotted all over the collar.

There is also a pomegranate red jacket embroidered with a picture of hundreds of children frolicking in spring. The eyebrows, eyes and folds of each doll are clear and vivid.

"My goodness, this material feels different," a noble lady couldn't help but reach out and touch the brocade skirt. "It's so smooth, much better than the one I'm wearing."

Another pointed at a jacket with a Hundred Children pattern and exclaimed, "Isn't this embroidery incredible? I'm afraid it would take the embroiderer half a year to complete just one piece."

The shopkeeper smiled slightly upon hearing this and nodded, saying, "Miss, you have good taste. Just this painting of a hundred children would have required the combined efforts of three skilled embroiderers for a full five months."

Everyone was shocked. Bai Wanwan walked around the store and said to the shopkeeper:

"Boss, can you see if there are any clothes that suit me?

My sister brought me here today. She paid for everything and I had to pick out some jewelry."

The shopkeeper bowed quickly and said, "Okay, I'll go pick out some suitable clothes for you."

After a while, a waiter came over with three sets of clothes and said respectfully, "Miss, do you like these three?"

The waiter brought over a few jewelry boxes and opened them. Inside were silver-gilt hairpins and bracelets made of jade beads, all of which were very exquisite in style.

The shopkeeper said:

“Although these jewellery pieces are not expensive, they are unique.

These clothes and jewelry together cost over 20,000 taels.”

Lin Zao Zao suddenly shouted out, her face pale: "What? More than 20,000 taels? Why should I spend more than 20,000 taels on her? Don't even think about it."

She wanted to make money from Bai Wanwan, but didn't want to pay her out of pocket.

Bai Wanwan's eyes turned red, and she said pitifully:

"Sister, are you reluctant to spend so much money to buy these for me?

Or you can get me some cheaper ones... Sister, how much do you think is appropriate?

I was kicked out of the Bai family because of you. Sister, you don’t regret it, do you? If you do, I’d better go back to the Bai family! "

The noble ladies nearby curled their lips, their tone filled with sarcasm: "It's only over 20,000 taels, why are you reluctant to part with it?"

Another one echoed, glancing at Lin Zaozao with a hint of disdain:

"Isn't it because Lin Zao Zao is favored by the princess that she dares to act so arrogantly in front of us?

I see that he doesn't have much money at all, and his usual demeanor is just an act."

The person next to him also said:

"That's right, he's so cruel to his own sister.

It seems that his usual kindness is all fake, and when he really has to pay, his true colors show."

Lin Zao Zao pinched himself hard, and when he turned around, a gentle smile appeared on his face:

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to buy you clothes, but these clothes are too expensive. It would be a waste if they were left unused.

I think it would be enough to pick a nice one and pair it with two comfortable clothes for daily changes of clothes, what do you think?"

Bai Wanwan nodded immediately, her eyes slightly red, and her tone was somewhat dependent:

“My sister is right, I listen to her.

My sister is so kind to me. From now on, I will have to rely on her for my care."

Not long after, the shopkeeper came back with the clothes: a pink silk dress that she had worn just now, the material and embroidery were quite exquisite.

The other two pieces are plain skirts in moon white and light green. They look simple and elegant, and are indeed suitable for daily wear.

The jewelry was also changed, but it was just a few silver hairpins and a pair of jade earrings, all styles that could be seen in ordinary shops.

"Miss, the total price of these items is three thousand five hundred taels." The shopkeeper quoted the price.

Lin closed her eyes early, her fingertips trembling. She turned her head and said to Mingyue, the maid beside her, "Pay."

Mingyue quickly took out the silver bills from the brocade bag she carried with her, counted the amount and handed them to the shopkeeper.

These three thousand five hundred taels were almost half of the money she had saved in the past few months. She felt so wronged that she couldn't even bear to buy such expensive clothes!

When the other noble ladies saw that Bai Wanwan had finished her selection, they also began to walk around Linlang Pavilion.

The clothes and jewellery here are indeed exquisite, and many ladies would ask the shop assistants to pack them up after seeing what they like.

There were a few who were generous enough to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver at a time, which made the shopkeeper very happy and he personally served them.

Lin Zao Zao looked at them and felt upset, but he didn't want to lose face.

He gritted his teeth and picked out a dark-patterned stone-blue brocade robe made of the finest Hangzhou silk, with a circle of orchids embroidered with silver thread at the collar. It cost him more than six thousand taels of silver.

The group picked and chose, and finally returned home with a full load. Almost everyone had a Linlang Pavilion bag in their hands.

The bag from Linlang Pavilion is quite unique in design. Although it is not a rare item, it is exquisite.

Some are palm-sized embroidered purses with light pink velvet edges. They look cute and practical, and only cost a few dozen taels of silver.

Some are slightly larger square cloth bags, made of plain cotton and linen, with simple cloud patterns embroidered on the surface with colored threads.

Another type is made of bamboo strips as the frame, with a layer of plain gauze pasted on the outside. The gauze is smudged with light ink patterns, which looks elegant and refined, and looks especially good when paired with plain clothes.
