Chapter 018
On the afternoon of the third day, the two young masters came again. This time, Mr. Li was accompanied by a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.
When she entered the door, the girl was still thinking nonstop.
"Brother, did you make a mistake? You asked me to be a bridge again. Can't you just be proud of yourself and pursue the girl with your own efforts?"
The county magistrate's son on the side had a hard time holding back his laughter. After entering Xiuyi Pavilion, the girl kept mumbling.
Hearing that Aunt Zheng could hardly hold back her laughter, Su Nian'an could only helplessly roll her eyes at Aunt Zheng.
This time she didn't get up either, secretly packing up Aunt Zheng to receive her, but Aunt Zheng looked calm and didn't get up.
Su Nianan was angry, but for the sake of money, she endured it.
With a strong smile, he stood up to greet us and said, "What do you gentlemen want to buy?"
Mr. Li cupped his fists and gave a salute. Before he could speak, the woman next to him said, "Ignore him. My name is Li Ling'er, and she is his sister. He wants to buy me clothes. I heard that you make good clothes here."
Next to him, Mr. Li, who was still waiting to impress Su Nian'an in a gentle manner, became anxious when he heard this.
He quickly said: "Shopkeeper Su..."
"I heard that we still need to measure the size. How do we need to measure it?" Li Ling'er continued to speak first.
Su Nian'an turned around and picked up the ruler on the counter, smiled at Li Ling'er and said, "Let's go, Miss Li! Let's go inside and measure the size."
Mr. Li, who was bending over at the side, was completely stunned, his clenched fists seemed to be saluting the air.
Seeing that Su Nian'an and his sister had turned around and walked towards the inner room, he was at a loss, he was confused.
The county magistrate on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud. Fortunately, he had a certain understanding of Mr. Li, otherwise he would have been confused.
He quickly relieved his embarrassment and said: "Mr. Li, your sister is really smart in dealing with people. They have already gone in to measure the size. Let's go shopping in the store!"
Mr. Li retracted his fist in embarrassment, straightened up and said calmly: "Okay, let's go shopping."
In fact, Xiuyi Xuan is not big. They had already visited it two days ago.
But there was nothing he could do. His sister made it difficult for him to get off the stage. It happened that the county magistrate gave him a step up, so why not do it.
Aunt Zheng just walked by and didn't say much, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Mr. Li was very calm, and it seemed that he had experienced this kind of thing often.
But Su Nian'an, who was helping Li Ling'er take measurements in the back room, was not as calm as on the surface.
After hearing the name of the woman in front of her was Li Ling'er, she thought of many things.
I am full of admiration for the woman in front of me, but her personality seems to be different now than in the future.
But when she thought about the experiences she was about to encounter, she began to understand a little better.
I felt sympathy and admiration for her, so I measured her more carefully.
The two of them were measuring and chatting, but soon they finished measuring and they went out of the inner room together.
After coming out, Su Nian'an asked: "What style and color does Miss Li like? Now choose the cloth on the shelf and tell us the style. We can make it for you, but you need to pick it up tomorrow."
After hearing this, Li Ling'er glanced around the store and spotted a piece of dark blue cloth, which was the "gradient blue" specially chosen by Su Nian'an.
Pointing to the piece of cloth, Li Ling'er said: "It's just that color and style!"
She glanced at the clothes hanging on the hangers at the door, and then at the clothes Su Nian'an was wearing.
His eyes lit up and he said, "Just follow the style on your body."
Su Nian'an nodded. It seemed that their aesthetics were similar, "Then Miss Li can come and pick it up at this time tomorrow."
Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, Mr. Li hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists again to speak.
Li Ling'er said: "Then we won't disturb Shopkeeper Su. See you tomorrow!"
Su Nian'an nodded, "Okay! Miss Li."
Mr. Li said: "Shopkeeper Su..."
Li Ling'er had already turned around, took Mr. Li's arm and walked out.
Su Nian'an ignored them and turned back to the counter.
Mr. Li was stunned again and confused.
At this time, the county magistrate hurriedly walked out of the door ahead of Mr. Li and his sister, so that he could not see this scene.
Even the personal guards following Mr. Li laughed. How could he maintain such majesty?
Under the watch of Aunt Zheng, Mr. Li was dragged all the way out of Xiuyi Xuan by Li Ling'er, completely extinguishing Mr. Li's hope of speaking.
Aunt Zheng's face was full of smiles. After they had gone far, she turned to look at Su Nian'an.
"Don't you think they are interesting siblings?"
Su Nian'an was still lying on the counter, holding his chin in one hand. Hearing this, he raised his head in confusion.
"Aunt Zheng, what did you say?"
Aunt Zheng smiled and repeated: "Don't you think they are very interesting brother and sister?"
"Is there any?" Su Nian'an looked at her with confusion.
Aunt Zheng shook her head. Seeing that Su Nian'an seemed to be absent-minded, she stopped worrying.
"Then what are you thinking about? Your expression has been abnormal since this girl came here?"
Su Nian'an smiled and said, "No! I just didn't expect people to come to the door when business is so cold."
Aunt Zheng took a deep look at Su Nian'an and stopped asking.
…
After the county magistrate's son accompanied Mr. Li and his sister around the small town, he arranged for the group to stay at the best inn in the city.
Then he ordered the two guards to stay on standby and then went home.
After returning home, he reported his whereabouts these days to his father. The main reason was that he did not have the habit of looking for his father every day and his father was so busy.
He said it unintentionally but listened with intention. After learning that he had been shopping with Mr. Li for several days, his father was very angry.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You clearly know the origin of Young Master Li, and you're telling me now?"
Hearing this, the county magistrate's son was very surprised, "He has come twice this year. I don't know what his purpose is for coming this time, but he often runs out of the city and won't let me follow him."
When the county magistrate heard this, his expression changed completely, and he quickly got up and walked out quickly, regardless of the darkness of the night.
As he walked away, he scolded his son, "You are a person who has failed to achieve anything but failed. I will come back to settle the score with you."
After walking to the door, he immediately ordered the guards to notify the middle and upper-level officials of Qiantang City to come to the government to discuss matters.
Seeing the guard walking out quickly, he roared loudly: "Now, now, hurry up!"
The county magistrate returned to the hall with a dark face and kept pacing back and forth.
The county magistrate's son was a little overwhelmed and stood there without daring to move. His father rarely got so angry.
Soon, the chaotic sound of horse hooves sounded on the street. Although it was a bit disturbing to the residents, the magistrate's order must be implemented immediately.
