No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

"I can tell at first glance that the young lady is from a wealthy family. How can the stuff in Jinxiu Pavilion be compared with ours!" Although Xue Duanhua is in his thirties, perhaps because he has not suffered much since childhood, he does not look as calm, reserved and mature as Zuo Xiang.

He led Yangyang straight into the shop. The shop was quite large, but at first glance, the quality of the materials was very old, and the prices were even more daunting.

The waiter inside was also listless.

No wonder Xue Duanhua, as a boss, has to go outside to greet and see off guests. If not, even dogs wouldn't enter this shop. It's really too decadent to think that a royal merchant would run his own shop like this.

As soon as Yangyang sat down, Xue Duanhua attentively ordered people to serve tea and piled all the gorgeous and old-fashioned cloths on the table for Yangyang.

"Miss, please look, these materials are all of the finest quality. Given your temperament, this piece of brocade that costs twenty-five gold coins a piece is the perfect match for you!"

Xue Duanhua was working hard to spread out the cloth, without considering whether Yangyang wanted to buy it or asking about Yangyang's needs.

So once you catch a fat sheep, you try your best to slaughter it, right?

However, it seems that the people of Mr. Xue's family really don't care about Prime Minister Zuo's family. Yangyang has been sitting there for a long time, but no one has asked about her background, and no one has asked the maid around her.

According to her father's generation, Yangyang should call Xue Duanhua "Second Uncle", but this second uncle showed no sign of recognizing her at all.

In this case, Yangyang was happy to tease them a little more, so that it would be easier for him to take over the shop later and let them know his character, and that he was not someone who was easy to mess with.

"Boss, this crimson material is really old-fashioned. I just saw it and I couldn't see a bright color. Aren't you a royal merchant? How can you have such a bad taste?"

If the old lady had ordered silk of this tone before, would the Xue family have persisted until today?

The more Yangyang listened to Xue Duanhua's sales pitch, the more she didn't understand why such a good shop was selling such old-fashioned and expensive goods. It was obvious that they were afraid that no one would buy them!

Xue Duanhua's face twitched a little when he heard this, but he was not completely speechless, "Then Miss is ignorant! Our family has this style, grand and steady. How can those flashy materials compare with ours!"

Yangyang smiled and wiped the tea stains from her lips with a handkerchief. "Glamorous? Spring is so dull now. I have never seen many women so steady now!"

"Hey!" Xue Duanhua saw that Yangyang was not easy to fool, so he signaled to the waiter beside him, and his tone became a little low and mysterious, "Miss, you can see that you understand it at first glance. To be honest, I can tell you that there are good materials! Otherwise, come in with me and take a look?"

Oh! Is there any high-end stuff that is inconvenient to display in this shop?

Yangyang hesitated, and stroked her hair like a lady from a wealthy family, "Why don't you take me to see it?"

As he was talking, Xue Duanhua asked the waiter to go ahead and led Yangyang around the back garden of the shop, into a deep and narrow alley, and lifted a heavy cloth curtain.

Looking up, she saw a complete collection of Shu and Su embroidery, and the most eye-catching one was a bright yellow piece of Lingyun Feng embroidery spread out on the sandalwood frame. She usually didn't care much about other styles.

But she had a very deep impression of this piece of cloth. Wasn't this the cloth that the Crown Princess wore at the Hairpin Flower Banquet?

Yangyang stood a foot away and didn't dare to go forward to touch it. After all, this cloth was definitely not something that ordinary people could use.

"Miss, you are obviously an expert. Do you like this fabric?" Xue Duanhua saw Yangyang staring at the fabric on the shelf, so he hurried over to the fabric and started selling it to her. "This is the fabric used by the royal family. Only our royal merchants can supply it!"

"Since it is used by the royal family, how can others use it!" Yangyang shuddered. Even if she didn't know the laws in this regard, she had watched TV. Being used by the royal family meant that ordinary people could not touch it!

"Hey! If you like it, Miss! As long as you can afford it." Xue Duanhua pointed to Yangyang with his thumb and index finger, his eyes shining with golden light.

And in his eyes, isn’t Yangyang just a living golden jar?

So that's how it is. It turns out that Xue Duanhua is doing this kind of business. The materials in the shop are just a cover. If he wants to make money, he has to make the most expensive and riskiest ones!

They actually sold the materials supplied to the royal family privately. Not only were the prices high and the profits extremely high, but the buyers did not dare to reveal a single word about it to outsiders!

"Don't worry, Miss. Come over and feel it. This material is rare!"

"Since it is a royal item, it would be disastrous if someone else wore it and was seen!" Yangyang is actually still timid, but she wants to know the secret. Now that she is here, she has to ask clearly.

Xue Duanhua heard this and smiled as expected. He took the other piece of cloud gauze from Xiaoer and slowly pulled it apart.

"Miss, this cloud veil is so vague that it not only shows your nobility but also hides your true colors. If you know what's going on, you can just lift it lightly, which is both to save face and to follow the rules."

After Xue Duanhua's introduction, it seemed that there were many people in Jingwei City who wanted to be on par with the royal family.

Throughout the ages, what people fear most are the flashy and noble. If there are too many of them, it will harm the entire country!

Although it is just a piece of cloth, you can see signs in the details, which is not a good sign.

Yangyang was hesitating and looking serious when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. From the arrogant tone, it must be that person.

If that person saw her here, she was afraid that she would cause trouble again. Yangyang walked behind the shelf in a hurry. Thinking that there was cloth to cover her, she made a detour and quietly went out the door to avoid running into that person.

As I was walking to the back, a maid opened the heavy curtain at the door.

"Boss Xue, if you have any distinguished guests today, why don't you come to the door to greet me?"

Xue Duanhua turned around with a big smile on his face, "Miss Feng, what are you talking about? You are our old customer!" He followed Feng Ronger's steps and smiled apologetically, leaving Yangyang aside!

Yangyang was actually happy that he left her alone. She was now standing behind the shelf, watching Feng Ronger turn around so that she could leave quickly.

After all, last time at the Hairpin Flower Banquet, Feng Ronger, at the instigation of Xue Qingqing, targeted her everywhere, and was amused by her to the point of losing manners at the banquet and fainting. Now that she is running into her in a place like this, she will definitely not let her go.

Sure enough, as soon as Feng Ronger entered the room, she was also attracted by the materials on the shelf.

Separated by a piece of cloth, Yangyang was on this side, Feng Ronger was on the opposite side, and all the maids were standing outside.

Yangyang walked lightly, fearing that Feng Ronger would suddenly come over. Now was not the time for her to reveal her identity to Feng Ronger and Xue Duanhua!

"Miss Feng, you have good taste. This material has only arrived two days ago. Compared to the purple cloud and smoke pearl shirt I made for you before, this is a more practical material!"

Feng Ronger touched the delicate texture of the material and said proudly, "I saw the Crown Princess wearing it at the Hairpin Flower Banquet a few days ago. The boss is really good. You have materials like this!"

Judging from Feng Ronger's tone, she really didn't think that wearing royal materials was something rebellious!

"As long as Miss Feng wants it, there is nothing we can't get at Nisangfang. Not to mention those made in our own embroidery studio, even if they are made by other royal merchants, we can still get them!" Xue Duanhua is a man of great skill and courage. He patted his chest and said this to Feng Ronger with confidence.

Feng Ronger was happy to hear that.

But Yangyang behind him was terrified.

It seemed as if the several land deeds he had in his hands had become hot potatoes.

Xue Duanhua is so bold. If he is found out by the people of Jinglinsi, Yangyang will be in trouble too! And the Zuo Xiangfu? The old lady?

Doesn’t the old lady know that Mr. Xue’s son is doing such a thing?

If this is the case with Nisangfang, what about other shops?

"Who's behind this?"

Yangyang was so absorbed in her thoughts that she was startled by the voice coming from Feng Ronger in front of her!
