Chapter 353 What's going on? The boy wants to sell himself?
The voice was a bit loud. Old Mrs. Hua was originally surprised. She just calculated that she sold it for more than one tael of silver, but now it’s more than three taels?
I was startled by the sound, and the calculation I was recalculating in my mind was interrupted.
But the old lady didn't have time to get angry, and quickly said, "Sir, you have a good eye. Today is the first day we sell this pearl flower. You must have never seen it anywhere else before."
The man waved at Old Lady Hua and sat down at the stall. He picked up the flowers one by one and looked at them, with unstoppable surprise in his eyes.
Finally, after careful selection, he bought pearl flowers worth three taels of silver. Shen Youyou also gave him a few rings with small flowers.
Shen Youyou hurriedly packed up the pearl flowers on the stall, while Old Lady Hua was smiling from ear to ear.
"What are you doing? Just leave it there like this."
"Grandma, let's not buy this here. Since there aren't many pearl flowers here, we can sell the plain hairpins at the stall. We have to find big customers for the pearl flowers."
Old Mrs. Hua didn't understand why she said she was going to find a big client to sell pearl flowers, but her granddaughter brought her to a ready-made clothing shop.
Watching her little granddaughter, dressed in men's clothes, walk in on her own, Grandma Hua was still hesitating outside the door.
Shen Youyou said: "Grandma, come in!"
“Yo yo ah!”
Shen Youyou turned around and pulled Old Lady Hua into the same shop where they sold cloth last time. This shop also had ready-made clothes.
She walked around and saw a suit with a maroon outer shirt and a dark blue inner shirt. The skirt was also a matching blue pleated skirt made of fine cotton. It was deep and solemn.
But the maroon outer coat, which resembles a long waistcoat, adds a touch of vitality to the solemnity.
In fact, if you look at the pretty ones, the silk ones are definitely better looking, but grandma would definitely not wear them.
Although the Daqing Dynasty did not prohibit common people from wearing silk, her grandmother would definitely turn around and leave if she spent more than ten taels of silver on a set of clothes.
She pointed at the clothes and said, "Take that off for me."
Old Lady Hua stepped forward and grabbed Shen Youyou's little hand, whispering in her ear, "What are you doing? Grandma's heart is beating fast."
Shen Youyou comforted her, "Grandma, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. We are going to do big business, so I can dress casually as a child. You have to dress up."
Old Lady Hua refused to accept the offer: "I don't need to dress up. This hairpin of ours will sell well once it's out. Don't try to fool me."
Shen Youyou continued to explain helplessly: "If you want to make a lot of money, just listen to me. I don't want us to set up a stall on the street with such beautiful hairpins. And don't worry about me spending money now.
I will earn as much money as I spend on this dress. After deducting the original price we sold it for, I can still earn more. You can just pick up this dress for free."
The old lady hesitated. If you ask her to spend money to buy clothes, especially clothes with embroidered patterns on the collar and cuffs, fine stitching, exquisite workmanship, and so many pleats on the skirt, it must be very expensive.
She would definitely just grab her granddaughter and leave, but if she picked up the clothes for free, then... that would be different.
She had never worn this kind of clothes when she was young. Oh, how come my little granddaughter has such good taste? This clothes looks so beautiful even when hanging on the wall.
Not long after, when Mrs. Hua, with the help of Shen Youyou, put on this set of clothes in the changing room of the clothing store,
Shen Youyou asked her grandmother to change her hairstyle again. She was really not good at this. Otherwise, would she have either a ponytail or a bun?
Old Lady Hua combed her hair meticulously and piled it high on top of her head. Shen Youyou thought her hairstyle was similar to those old ladies in TV dramas.
She took out a blue and white porcelain chrysanthemum she had made herself and put it on one side of her grandmother's hair.
Old Mrs. Hua looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Although she couldn't see clearly, she now understood why her little granddaughter encouraged her to dye her hair black.
The old lady is feeling mixed emotions now. She is a little overwhelmed. She has never dressed like this in her life.
I feel a little embarrassed to go out and see people, it’s so beautiful!
Shen Youyou also spoke up: "My grandma is so beautiful! You are the signature of our Zhuhua."
This is not a lie. Mrs. Hua is very beautiful. However, she did not take good care of herself in the past and has many wrinkles. However, she is born with fair skin. Shen Youyou and Shen Zhiqiu are like her.
Even though he is tanned by the wind and sun, his hair is still whiter than that of ordinary people. Especially now that his hair has been dyed black, it looks very elegant with this outfit.
Shen Youyou's granddaughter thinks her grandmother is Xi Shi, and even feels that if her grandmother were in modern times, she would probably be able to play an ancient old lady in a TV drama.
Actually, even if I don't buy this dress for grandma, she can still sell all the hairpins and other things.
But she had a selfish motive, which was to dress up her grandmother so that she could go out and find that she didn't have to live a life of toiling all day long.
When it came time to pay the bill, I still felt really bad for Old Lady Hua, as a set of clothes cost more than four taels of silver.
Even the old lady felt that she should never give big money to her granddaughter in the future, because her little hands were too loose.
But there are benefits to feeling sorry for someone. The old lady felt sorry for the money, so she eliminated the discomfort she felt wearing the clothes. She followed Shen Youyou, turning left and right, and she didn't know where she was going.
If he were to do this on his own, he would be completely in the dark.
In particular, the road her little granddaughter led became increasingly lively as they went further in, with constant shouting from various shops on the street.
As the little granddaughter stopped, she saw that the building in front of her was really beautiful, with red, green and yellow silk hanging on it, and many big red lanterns: "Oh, why is it closed in broad daylight?"
Before I could figure out what was going on, my granddaughter went up and knocked on the door.
This is the largest brothel in Fang County, Zuihuanlou.
Old Lady Hua saw the door open a crack, and a man who looked like a servant said, "What are you doing? Go away."
The old man subconsciously wanted to chase the child away when he saw her figure, but when he saw Shen Youyou's face clearly, he opened the door and smiled maliciously: "What? You want to sell yourself?"
As he said this, he tried to touch Shen Youyou's little face, but Shen Youyou grabbed it and twisted it hard, causing him to scream.
"I'm here to discuss business with your madam, so you'd better be honest."
As he let go of his hand, he pushed the old man on the back, almost making him fall flat on his face.
"You kid, do you know where this place is? Why are you making trouble here?"
Old Lady Hua was terrified and quickly pulled Shen Youyou behind her: "Youyou, where is this? We won't sell it here anymore."
Shen Youyou patted her grandmother's hand, signaling her not to be nervous, and said to the old man: "In Fang County, one is your Zuihuan Tower, and the other is Baihua Tower.
Although your business is better at the moment, if you don’t inform your shopkeeper today, you may not know whose business will be better in the future.”
If someone else spoke so arrogantly, the old man would definitely think that person was sick, but although the child in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, the old lady behind him was dressed okay.
Moreover, the child's arm was twisted behind his back in an instant, so he didn't dare to act recklessly.
Just one sentence left: "You wait."
The door was closed, but Mrs. Hua was so nervous: "Oh, where is this?"
Shen Youyou blinked twice: "A brothel!"
This sentence almost pissed off Mrs. Hua: "Is this a place you can come to? You...you..."
