Chang’an Peasant Girl

  Chapter 36 Envy, Jealousy, Hate

  Quiet then went to ask the man, "How many feet of cloth do we need for the whole set of wedding dresses for the two of us?"

   The guy took a wooden ruler and roughly compared An Jing and Xiao Changyi before he said to An Jing: "Guest officer, your wedding dress will need about six feet of cloth, and your future husband will need about eight feet of cloth."

  Quietly looked at Xiao Changyi: "Then let's buy fourteen feet."

  Xiao Changyi nodded: "Well."

  Quietly asked the man, "Then do you have a tailor? We are in a hurry to get dressed, and it is too late to do it ourselves." She would not say that she can't do it herself.

   The man smiled and said, "Of course, if we let our tailors do it, we will need to pay ten cents for the craftsmanship."

   "It's so expensive..." Quiet frowned.

The man hurriedly said: "It's not expensive, you can go outside and find out who has a tailor who is cheaper than ours. If there is one, our tailor will do it for you for nothing." Never cheat.

An Jing didn't say anything immediately, but looked at Xiao Changyi, she knew that Xiao Changyi must know this Wanbu Pavilion better, so she brought her here, and when Xiao Changyi nodded slightly at her, she said to the guy: "That's good. Well, ten words are ten words."

   "Okay!" the guy said loudly. Then, he brought an abacus and calculated: "Fourteen feet of first-class red cloth, thirty cents a foot, a total of four hundred and twenty cents, plus the tailor's handmade money for ten cents, a total of four hundred and thirty cents."

   Four hundred and thirty characters? ! ! If he hadn't covered his mouth in time, Niu Dahua would have screamed.

   Then, Niu Dahua's eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred when she looked at Quiet. Her wedding dress was only ten cents a foot at the time! Their family's savings don't even have four hundred and thirty cents!

  Quiet did not ask Xiao Changyi to pay immediately, but asked the man, "When will the clothes be ready?"

   The guy said: "It will be done in one day, and the guest officer can come and get it at this time tomorrow."

   nodded quietly before looking at Xiao Changyi.

  Xiao Changyi did not take out the money to pay, but walked towards the counter on the right while supporting Jing Jing, but only one step, he saw a familiar figure at the counter on the right hurried past them.

   Looking at the young woman who walked out of the Wanbu Pavilion quickly, she frowned quietly: "Is that Niu Dahua?"

  Niu Dahua, Niu Er's eldest sister, is already married. She married Xiao Shengcai from the same village a year ago. Xiao Shengcai is Xiao Changyi's clan with the same surname, but he has never walked with Xiao Changyi.

  There are many long-tongued women in the village, and Niu Dahua is one of them. At this moment, Jingjing understands why Niu Er has such a broken mouth. Daring is hereditary, and the whole family is like this.

   And because Niu Er refused to save himself out of the hole the day before yesterday, now, An Jing has no good feelings for this Niu Dahua.

   "Hmm." Xiao Changyi said the same thing, and then continued to help An Jing walk towards the counter on the right.

  An Jing never takes people who are irrelevant to his heart. As soon as Xiao Changyi supports him and continues to walk, An Jing will forget about Niu Dahua, just like he has never met Niu Dahua at all.

  Quiet didn't understand what Xiao Changyi wanted to do until Xiao Changyi pointed at the two horses on the counter on the right and said, "Do you like these two colors?"

   "What's the matter?" Quietly looked at two pieces of cloth, one pink and one apricot, still not quite understanding what Xiao Changyi meant.

   Xiao Changyi said: "I'll make you clothes."

  Quiet finally understood and smiled. How could this man treat her so well? She already has clothes, and she is still thinking about buying them for her.
