I fought back after reselling my engagement

Zhen Su said, "Brother Lu, you have been in the army all the time, have you been to Baihua Wharf? I see you seem to be very familiar with this place?"

Familiar, of course familiar. In his previous life, he stayed in Baihua County for more than half a month to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of the Wan family. He was familiar with Baihua County and Baihua Wharf. He brought his eldest son to prepare gifts for his parents and family, but when he said it was prepared by Mrs. Wan, his mother refused to accept it.

In his previous life, he came here with Wan, but in this life, he came here with Zhen, who was not married yet. It was hard to describe the feeling. After marrying Wan, he no longer had to worry about spending money, but his parents, brothers and sisters could not accept Wan. Especially when it was revealed that Zhen Su was killed by Wan's father and brother, the hatred of his brothers and sisters towards Wan reached its peak.

My parents had been honest all their lives. When they heard that their second daughter-in-law had killed their first son's wife, they felt pain and guilt, and were unwilling to live under the same roof with Mrs. Wan.

It was obvious that the family members disliked Wan and were unwilling to accept her, but the whole family was destroyed because of the Wan family's crime.

Lu Yan pulled Zhen Su into a shop called "Bai Ji Garment Shop". The shop had two storefronts, a two-story building, and a yard at the back.

The shopkeeper was a woman. She asked with a smile, "What would you like to buy?"

"Let's buy ready-made clothes. Pick out two pieces for my little sister first."

"Brother, please pick two sets. After you finish buying clothes, I still want to go shopping."

A waitress came over and bowed, "Miss, the second floor is for women's clothing, please--"

Zhen Su followed the waitress up to the second floor.

Lu Yan picked out two sets of men's ready-made clothes on the first floor, matching them both inside and out. This set cost six taels of silver, and two sets cost twelve taels. Zhen Su only picked out one set for inner wear, and two sets of outerwear, one apricot yellow and one light green.

The waiter put two sets of clothes, one for male and one for female, into a bundle. Zhen Su's eyes swept over the two half-grown girls in front of the counter. They were making velvet flowers. With a few cuts and a few twists of the cloth, beautiful velvet flowers were made with their nimble fingers. The velvet cloth was also specially made.

Zhen Su was fascinated by watching them making velvet flowers, and Lu Yan had a sense of time and space interweaving. The girl making the velvet flowers, the one with the long face and phoenix eyes was the future Concubine Li, and the Jieyuhua beside the Second Prince, was only eleven or twelve years old now, but her delicate facial features showed her future unparalleled beauty.

Miss Bai raised her eyes, smiled brightly, and picked a pair of velvet flowers from the vase. "Miss, you are taking care of my family's business today. I will give you this pair of velvet flowers."

Zhen Su took the velvet flowers, a pair of apricot-yellow flowers that matched her new dress perfectly. "You have really skillful hands. I want to buy a box of velvet flowers for my cousins ​​and close friends."

The young lady in the pink jacket asked happily, "Miss, are you from the capital?"

Zhen Su smiled, which was considered as his agreement.

Miss Bai said, "We made all these by ourselves. Please give us some money if you think it's worth it."

The girl in the pink coat said, "Girl, didn't you say you would give it to a good girl after it was done..."

The girl said, "It's rare that a girl likes the velvet flowers I make. I bought a lot of velvet fabric from overseas this time, so I'll cut another piece to make later."

Zhen Su took a velvet flower and looked at it again and again. "It's very lifelike. I really like this camellia style. I thought it was rare to see this kind of velvet flower material. It turned out to be from overseas?"

The young girl replied, "We have a family of relatives who sailed on a ship and brought some cloth from overseas. We wanted to make shirts, but this cloth is too thick. Last winter, the old ladies and wives made winter clothes for us, but they were very dusty and got dirty after a while. We can only make them into velvet flowers to wear."

The waitress brought over a box, and Zhen Su picked them up pair by pair. The velvet flowers were very lifelike and the colors were beautiful. He bought a box and sent it to Princess Changle, and then wrote a letter to send it to her, saying that they were given to her, the Ninth Princess, Princess Fanghua, and Zhou Yiqing to wear and play with.

There is no need for rouge and powder. They have all kinds of good things in the palace.

Zhen Su looked at the two girls and said, "Please help me, sister. It is said that the powder and rouge in Baihua County are the most famous. Can you help me buy some rouge, powder, vanishing cream and powder? I want to give them to my elders at home. The ship will leave soon, and I am afraid I won't have enough time to choose by myself."

The girl's eyes flickered slightly, "Are you leaving soon?"

"Exactly. Thank you for your help."

"It's okay. Who are you going to send off, young lady?"

"My grandfather and my uncle are both elegant people. My grandfather likes to use rosin, my uncle likes to use bamboo scent, I prefer chrysanthemum scent, and my aunt likes plum scent. The vanishing cream and rouge are for my aunt, and I want to buy a few boxes of vanishing cream for my hands."

Zhen Su's voice is very pleasant, with the official accent of the capital, but also the softness of a Jiangnan girl, making people feel like spring breeze.

The Bai family is a wealthy family in Baihua County, but outside of this place, not many people know about it.

Miss Bai immediately said to the girl in pink coat, "Huatao, please help this girl to buy the goods. Go to the store with the best reputation."

The girl in pink coat responded, and seeing that the girl was probably from an official family, she asked, "How much do you want to buy it for?"

Zhen Su took out a silver note of 100 taels and said, "Thank you, young lady."

The little girl took the banknote and repeated while counting on her fingers: "The old man uses rosin fragrance, the master uses bamboo fragrance, the girl uses chrysanthemum fragrance, the aunt uses plum blossom fragrance, and the aunt's cold cream and rouge, the girl uses cold cream, is that right?"

Miss Bai said, "The osmanthus oil in our Baihua County is still very good. Let's buy some more of the best osmanthus oil."

Lu Yan was happy to see Zhen Su getting along well with the future concubine, so he said, "Little sister, I see that you and this girl are quite compatible, why don't you become good friends in the future? If you need velvet flowers or rouge again in the future, you can ask this girl for help."

Zhen Su was stunned and wanted to refuse, but seeing the girl's burning eyes, the female shopkeeper in the shop also had an expectant look on her face.

Miss Bai came out of the counter and bowed, "I have yet to ask for your last name, sister?"

Zhen Su returned the greeting, "My last name is Zhen, my father is from the capital, and my mother is from the Su family in Jiangnan. This time I am going out to visit my maternal grandfather in Hunan Province."

The female shopkeeper asked, "Could the official surnamed Su from Hunan Province be the governor of Hunan Province?"

Zhen Su looked surprised. The other party knew it just by her mentioning it.

The female shopkeeper never thought that it was true. The Grand Commander of Hunan Province was a high-ranking official and a key minister of the dynasty. What's more, he was promoted from a senior official of the Ministry of Rites to a frontier governor.

Miss Bai said, "My last name is Bai. I am the daughter of the eldest branch of the Bai family in Baihua County. The head of the family is my grandfather. I am the third of the eldest sisters."

Zhen Su called out "Third Sister Bai".

Miss Bai responded, "Sister Zhen."

The two asked about each other's background and started calling each other sister. Miss Bai asked the waitress to prepare a few beautiful round fans and brocade fans, as well as some pretty handkerchiefs. Since it was their first meeting, Zhen Su couldn't accept them for free and insisted on paying for them. However, Miss Bai refused to accept the money for the velvet flowers, saying that velvet was not worth much.
