The ship docked, and there was a crowd of people. They got off the ship bustlingly, and several disciples also dragged their luggage ashore.
"Let's find an inn to rest first." They had been traveling for several days and it was time to take a rest.
The few people quickly found a nearby inn to sit down.
"Waiter, do you know where there is a tailor shop here?" Jiang Sui asked while the waiter was serving food.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile, "Guests, you are asking an expert. Walk two streets ahead and then turn a corner. There is a store with a sign called 'Fu Huayi'. The styles of clothes in it are It’s diverse and beautiful, and it’s the favorite place for rich girls to hang out…”
After the waiter walked away, Li Nianxue asked, "Senior brother, aren't we coming down the mountain to subdue demons and protect the Tao? Why are you still taking us to the market?"
Although she also likes going to the market.
Jiang Suizhi said, "Master asked us not to wear the sect's regular clothes in the letter he sent. It would be too eye-catching and hinder our movements, so I thought we would all go shopping and change clothes later."
There are more girls among the five. Which girl doesn’t like to buy new clothes? After packing their luggage, they left the inn together.
The Jianghuai River is close to the capital, and there are many people on the street: people driving ox carts to deliver goods, people driving donkeys to pull trucks, and tourists stopping to admire the scenery of the Huaihe River. There are rows of houses on both sides, including tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, etc.
The girl looked at everything around her curiously, with a faint smile on her face. The sun shone on her white porcelain skin, and her eyes were full of curiosity and joy.
"Do you like it here?" Lu Mingzhu beside him abruptly interrupted the girl's gaze.
Muning nodded, "I have lived in the sect since I was a child and rarely went down the mountain. I didn't expect that this place is so prosperous and fun. It is much more interesting than the Sword Sect."
Looking at the people coming and going and the vendors on both sides, Muning sighed softly, "It would be great if the Sword Sect was as interesting as this."
However, she only complained a few words. How could it be possible to really move so many vendors to Jianzong? Who would have such leisurely time?
A few people quickly came to what the waiter called "Fuhuayi". The brocade plaque was embroidered with complicated patterns, which looked very expensive.
"Are we... still going in?" Li Nianxue glanced at Jiang Sui.
The money bags are all kept by senior brother Jiang Sui, but the money is needed to support the expenses of several people along the way.
It is estimated that a few people would have to rush back to Jianzong overnight to enter Fu Huayi.
Look at Lu Mingzhu, who is wearing the Qingyun Sect uniform.
"..."
I always feel like he has no idea about money.
Just when Jiang Sui was a little entangled, a bare hand holding a jade bracelet with hollow gold wire on his wrist pulled the person into the house.
"What are you doing staying outside all this time? Come in and take a look. The clothes and fabrics here are very cheap..." A melodious and charming voice sounded next to Jiang Suizi. The woman covered her mouth and smiled, and glanced lazily. Instantly charming and captivating.
It was obvious that this person was the proprietress of "Fu Huayi". She was about 40 years old. The traces of time had left some lines in the corners of her eyes, but the charm in her bones had not diminished by half.
Jiang was then pulled into the house, and several people followed him in.
These people are all young men with little experience. Where have they seen such a battle? The young man's face was already red before the woman's hook on Jiang Sui's collar stopped.
The lady boss smiled and called to the man behind her, "Bring the tape measure. I'll measure this young man." The man nodded respectfully and handed over the tape measure.
Seeing that the landlady was about to take action, Jiang immediately turned away and coughed lightly, "No, I'll do it myself."
The people behind him looked at Jiang Sui's interactions with the landlady with gossipy faces.
Li Nianxue whispered to Muning, "Although our senior brother is usually so harsh, he is actually very innocent. I probably have never been teased like this by a woman."
The landlady was not angry after being rejected. Instead, she looked at the group of people behind Jiang Sui. Her glance turned to surprise when she saw Lu Mingzhu.
She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes glowed red when she realized what she was doing, "Oh, I thought this young master was already handsome enough, but I didn't expect that there is someone even more handsome. I have never seen anyone better looking than you." people."
He was about to take action as he spoke. Just now, Muning saw that the landlady was still a bit charming, but now she looked a bit like... a gangster.
Although Lu Mingzhu was similar in age to Jiang Sui, he was not as shy and thin-skinned as him. His face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
"roll."
The whole body exuded the indifferent aura of "stay away from me", and the landlady's hands were still in the air, and she stood there awkwardly.
Li Nianxue on the side whispered to Muning, "This young disciple of Qingyun Sect is not moved by this, and he is so handsome. He must have many confidantes. This kind of person has the most fun!"
The monster that had been silent for a long time in the body immediately retorted, [Fart! Muning, don't listen to her, our Demon Lord is innocent. 】
"..."
But just a moment later, the landlady smiled again and looked at the few people attentively, "You might as well try the clothes in our store. There are various styles and cheap prices."
Li Nianxue said awkwardly, "How cheap is this?"
"It only costs fifty cents." She pulled over a piece of plain moiré silk satin, which was elegant and gentle in the sunlight. It looked like it was of high quality. "I can make you a long silk dress, Miss. It's very beautiful."
A set of clothes costs fifty cents, which is really cheap.
But when she thought about the few remaining burdens on these people, Li Nianxue still hesitated.
The landlady saw the embarrassment of several people, and immediately stepped forward to hold Li Nianxue's hand, and said with a smile, "I think you are really destined, so I will give you a discount. How about fifty cents for the five of you?" "
This price is simply a leg-breaking low price! Li Nianxue didn't expect that such a big bargain would allow her to catch up. She asked in a low voice with some suspicion, "Are you sure it's the five of us, five sets of clothes, and fifty coins?"
When several people entered the shop, they found that it was even more luxurious than it looked from the outside. The exquisitely carved jade screen and the red sandalwood incense burner exuded the distant fragrance... The price of such a shop is so cheap. Is there really no fraud? Obviously, these words were not enough to convince these wary and suspicious disciples.
"Oh, why don't some of the customers believe me?" The proprietress covered her handkerchief and smiled, "Then I'd better tell the truth. These two young men are so handsome. You can't stay in my store for just a moment longer. It’s a golden sign, and it can attract many young and beautiful girls to me.”
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Lu Mingzhu's face in unison.
Very convincing indeed.
