Si Lei Zhenjun
Chapter 36 Dowry Maid
"Miss Qin, are you satisfied with this skirt?"
The maid in blue skirt came up to Qin Xian with a flattering smile on her face, then looked at Yun He with a fake smile, pointed at Xiao Yu, and teased:
"Sister Yunhe, I'm afraid you didn't know this, but just now on the second floor, this girl, dressed like she came from a wealthy family, came up to me with a few dresses to ask for their prices. But, hehe, she put them back after asking."
Yun He raised her eyebrows and said:
"Fang Yun, the store rules are to not disturb each other and first come first served. I'm helping my customers try on clothes right now, so please don't break the rules!"
"Yun He!" Fang Yun's face suddenly darkened and she said:
"Don't bother talking about rules. This girl won't buy it even after trying it on. Let her take it off quickly and don't keep Miss Qin waiting!"
"So what? There's no rule in the store that says you have to buy something just because you try it on."
"Yun He, are you deliberately trying to go against me?"
Xiaoyu suddenly tugged at Yunhe's sleeve and whispered:
"Sister Yunhe, Xiaoyu has finished trying on the clothes. How about Xiaoyu change them now and give them to them?"
Yun He smiled and shook his head, saying angrily:
"How can you say you've tried on clothes if you haven't even looked in the mirror? Don't worry, I'm doing things according to the rules and no one can say anything."
Qin Xian watched from the side, the impatience on her face growing stronger. Just when she was about to explode, she suddenly saw a man in white walking towards her. He was wearing a loose robe, and the white clothes were not stained by dust. The hem of his robe fluttered with his steps, giving people a feeling of transcendence.
His eyes were deep and bright, and his eyebrows were as straight as sword blades, adding a bit of heroism to his face. There were slender and powerful lines between his eyebrows, like golden threads across rice paper.
The nose bridge is straight, the lip lines are soft, and the slightly upturned corners of the mouth always seem to have a barely perceptible smile.
Qin Xian stared blankly, feeling as if her heart was gently pulled by a silk thread, and the originally calm lake of her heart began to ripple slightly, spreading out little by little.
In a moment, the man came closer. Qin Xian raised her hand to straighten the messy hair on her forehead, then greeted him with a smile and said softly, "My humble daughter, Qin Xian, greets you, sir. May I ask your name?"
Chu Xing stopped and was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was being approached. He smiled politely at the woman in front of him and said, "Wang Sanyuan, I have something else to do. Excuse me."
After saying this, Chu Xing walked straight to Yun He and Xiao Yu, took Xiao Yu's hand and brought her to him, pretending to be majestic and said, "This fairy is so bold that she dares to come to the mortal world without permission. Do you know that you have violated the rules of heaven?"
Xiaoyu burst out laughing and said with a blushing face: "Xiaoyu is not a fairy..."
"Haha~" Chu Xing smiled and scratched her cute little nose, then asked, "You only picked this one dress?"
Xiaoyu nodded and shook her head, saying, "Xiaoyu is just trying it on. Miss bought me many beautiful clothes before. Xiaoyu has no shortage of clothes, so there is no need to buy any."
"How can that be! Clothes are better when they are new. You don't have to think about saving money for me. How many spirit stones can a few pieces of clothes cost?" Chu Xingdao said.
Xiaoyu suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered in Chu Xing's ear, "Master, Xiaoyu just secretly asked about the price. The cheapest one here costs 500 to 600 spirit stones. It's so expensive!"
"What?" Chu Xing's heart sank when he heard that. Disbelief filled his eyes as he looked at Yun He and asked, "Miss, you guys are not a shady shop, are you?"
Before Yun He could reply, Fang Yun spoke first with a hint of sarcasm: "Sir, the dresses in our store are not only beautiful and comfortable, but also have a certain degree of defensive ability. They are also cleverly designed to perfectly fit a woman's figure.
The skirt your maid is wearing is made of Floating Cloud Brocade and costs three thousand spirit stones. If you think it's too expensive, please ask your maid to take it off. My client, Miss Qin, wants to buy it and has been waiting for a long time."
Qin Xian's heart tightened when she heard this. She hurried forward and stared at Chu Xing. Her eyes were like pearls, shining brightly. She waved her hand and said softly, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Chu Xing's face. He asked this question only because he felt the price was too high, not because he was reluctant to part with the spirit stones.
Chu Xing smiled apologetically at Qin Xian and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Qin, my daughter Xiaoyu also likes this dress very much. I'm afraid I can't give it up."
Qin Xianmu stared blankly at the man's handsome face with distinct features. She felt like a deer was beating wildly in her heart. She smiled foolishly and shook her head.
After a while, she came to her senses, remembered her silly behavior just now, and left with a red face.
Seeing this, Fang Yun hurriedly followed.
Xiaoyu pulled Chu Xing's arm and shook it, shaking her head and said, "Sir, it's too expensive."
"If you spend all the spirit stones, you can earn more. As long as Xiaoyu is happy, let alone spending three thousand, even if it's thirty thousand or three hundred thousand, it's worth it." Chu Xingdao.
Xiaoyu's pretty face turned red, and her eyes were filled with sweet smiles. After a while, she lowered her head in shame and ran into the tent nearby.
Chu Xing looked at Yun He, who had a smile on her face, and asked, "Miss, when I came here just now, I seemed to see you arguing with your colleagues. What happened?"
"Sir, my name is Yunhe." Yunhe quickly put away her "auntie smile" when she heard that. She pondered for a while and told the story again without any exaggeration.
After hearing this, Chu Xing felt both guilty and distressed. A cold light flickered in his eyes. He bowed to Yun He and said, "Chu Xing thanks Miss Yun He. If it weren't for someone as kind-hearted as you, Xiao Yu would have suffered so much."
"Mr. Chu Xing, you don't have to be polite. I also like Sister Xiaoyu very much, and I am just doing my job." Yun He waved her hand.
Chu Xing thought for a moment and said with a smile:
"Anyway, Miss Yunhe, I'll remember this favor. I'll be buying a lot of dresses in the store today. I wonder if you get a commission from the sales? If you do, I'd rather put it on you than give the store a discount."
"Yes." Yun He nodded slightly, a smile flickering between her brows. She bowed gracefully and said, "Then I won't be so pretentious. Thank you, sir!"
"Haha, that's as it should be." Chu Xing said with a hearty smile.
Half a moment later, Xiao Yufang walked out of the tent with a smile on her face, holding the white long skirt in her arms and taking light steps.
Chu Xing walked over quickly, took Xiaoyu's slender white hand, with tenderness in his eyes, and then pulled her towards the rows of clothes displayed in order.
……
As night falls and the lights come on, Caiyun Pavilion is bathed in soft illumination.
At the counter, Xiaoyu shook Chu Xing's arm, who was holding a pile of clothes beside her, and raised her little head, saying, "Sir, this is too much. Can we put some back?"
Chu Xing pursed his lips, motioning her to look at Qu Hongjin and Wang Eryi, who were smiling brightly in front of them, and said, "Look at the pile they have in their hands. There are two of us picking, so we can't have less than them, right?"
"Young Master, three ladies, the guests in front have already paid their bills, it's your turn now." Yun He, who was in front of the four people, turned around, made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully.
Hearing this, the three people who were holding the clothes put the clothes in their arms on the sandalwood counter.
Behind the counter, a woman in a hibiscus-colored dress sat quietly. She was about thirty-five years old, with a plump yet dignified figure.
The woman raised her eyes and glanced at the pile of dresses on the counter. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes suddenly spread out, showing her charm and majesty.
She stood up, smiled at Yun He, and said, "That's right, Yun He. Our Caiyun Pavilion can't sell this much in half a week. I'll give you 15% of the commission this time."
"Thank you, Sanniang!" Yun He said happily.
Chu Xing suddenly stepped forward, thinking of saving as much as possible, and said half-jokingly: "Madam, can you give me a discount too?"
The woman in the hibiscus-colored dress glanced at the three women behind Chu Xing, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. Qing Yan smiled lightly and said, "Of course, I will give you a 10% discount, how about that?"
"Thank you, ma'am." Chu Xing originally had the mentality of trying it out, so he naturally agreed with pleasure.
The woman in the hibiscus-colored dress nodded slightly, bent down, took the dresses from the counter one by one, and began to calculate the prices with her head down.
A plain white belt hugged her waist, and the hem of her skirt drew a plump curve in the narrow space of the counter.
Half an hour later, the woman in the hibiscus-colored dress slowly raised her head and said, "Sir, the total is 28,930 spirit stones. I will waive 10% of it for you, and after rounding off the remainder, I will take 26,000 spirit stones from you."
It turns out that it is easier to make money from women, and this was no exception in ancient times.
Chu Xing sighed inwardly, took out 26,000 spirit stones with tears in his eyes and placed them on the counter, while Qu Hongjin and the other two girls gathered together with excitement, putting their clothes into the storage bags.
……
Since Chu Xing and his three companions left, there were very few guests in Caiyun Pavilion. The maids in the store had been busy all day and were now gathered in the lobby on the first floor, chattering in groups about interesting things.
"Hey, Sister Yun, why can't we meet such a wealthy customer? I really envy Yun He. I just calculated that she can get 3,900 spirit stones just from the commission this time!"
The maid in a blue dress with slightly chubby cheeks sighed and said to Fang Yun beside her.
Fang Yun smiled unnaturally, her mind full of complicated thoughts and her eyes blankly staring blankly at the spot.
……
After leaving Caiyun Pavilion, Chu Xing went straight to Qu Hongjin and asked in a low voice:
"Junior sister, can you tell me now?"
A blush appeared on Qu Hongjin's pretty face. She bit Chu Xing's ear and timidly uttered four words in a voice as thin as a mosquito:
"A maidservant in marriage."
After saying this, she blushed and flew away like a frightened bird.
Chu Xing was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately that since Xiaoyu was Qu Hongjin's maid, her intention of letting Xiaoyu follow her now was self-evident.
A warmth like a ray of spring sunshine penetrated his clothes and reached his heart.
"Chu Xing." Wang Eryi gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, handed him an exquisite white storage bag, and said, "Gift..."
Chu Xing smiled and nodded, then reached out to take it and put it in his arms.
