217 Visiting the Dead (Part I)
Zhen Mingbitter entered the Hongxing Courtyard, and wanted to secretly see what the Zhang family was doing here, so he gave the bustard's mother in the courtyard a few taels of silver and asked her to report, but was told that the Laurel Fairy was unwell, and was resting at this time, so it was inconvenient to meet, in fact, the old bustard saw that he was an unknown person, and took Zhen Mingku's silver, and he didn't report it at all, and hid somewhere for a while, and came back to prevaricate that the Laurel Fairy was not a guest.
Zhen Mingku had no choice but to leave a letter, and gave the bustard a few taels of silver, and asked the bustard to help transfer it to the laurel fairy.
The old bustard took the letter with a smile, and as soon as Zhen Mingku turned around and left, he tore Zhen Mingku's letter to shreds, and sneered: "Hmph, do you think that Laurel Fairy is willing to see anyone?" Even Lord Shangshufeng of the Ministry of Officials wants to see her with the consent of the prince of Yue, the prince of Yue is now the emperor today, and the laurel fairy will sooner or later be a concubine, what are you, and you still want the old lady to hand over the letter, and you want the old lady to lose her head? ”
……
Coming out of the Hongxing Courtyard, Zhen Mingku walked all the way towards Sun's Pharmacy, passing by the clothing store of the eldest grandson Belle, seeing the light in the store, remembering that the Zhang family had told him a lot about the care and concern that the eldest grandson Belle had taken care of her during the three years he left Luoyang, and couldn't help but knock on the window of the store.
The crisp and beautiful voice of the eldest grandson Belle came from inside: "Who is it?" ”
"Eldest grandson girl, I am Zhen Mingku."
The door of the store soon opened, revealing the beautiful face of the eldest grandson Belle, who had not seen her for three years, she became more and more delicate and delicate, I don't know why, Zhen Mingku felt as if she had expected him to come to her.
"Zhen Gongzi, is it really you?"
"It's me, eldest grandson, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The eldest grandson Belle had a faint flush on her face, as if she was excited to see him, "When did you come back?" Did you come to see me? ”
She asked this sentence, perhaps because she felt that the question was a little too unreserved, and she was a little panicked, at a loss, holding the corner of her clothes, and her nervous appearance was particularly moving.
Zhen Mingku couldn't help but smile and said, "It's so late, I didn't come to see you, can't I still come to buy clothes from you?" I've been walking a long way, and I'm a little thirsty, can you please me in for a cup of tea? ”
The eldest grandson Belle recovered from the slight embarrassment, invited him into the store with a happy face, let him sit in the store for a while, and gracefully walked out of the back door of the store and went to the back room to serve tea.
Zhen Ming was idle and began to look around the shop.
The layout of the store is the same as three years ago, there is no change, but there are many more varieties of fabrics, more styles, and more embroidery patterns.
Some styles of fabrics are close to the fabric of the 21st century, soft and comfortable.
Just as he took off a men's clothing in the VIP area of the store and compared it on his body, the voice of Changsun Beier sounded behind him: "That is the cotton cloth woven by the textile machine you designed, the fabric is soft, it is very comfortable to wear, and it is warm, it is very popular, and the price is much cheaper than silk. ”
The eldest grandson, Belle, had come back at some point, standing behind him with a cup of tea.
Zhen Mingbitter hung the clothes back in place, took the teacup from her hand, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's all a fair deal, it's not about thanks, everyone takes what they need, if it weren't for your three thousand taels of silver, I wouldn't be able to marry a goose." ”
The eldest grandson Belle covered her mouth and smiled: "Didn't you spend no money to marry Sister Zhang?" Sister Zhang said that you donated all the money to the soup kitchen in the Red Apricot Courtyard. ”
Zhen Mingku's face was stunned: "What else does she not tell you?" ”
The eldest grandson Belle knew that she had missed her mouth, her face flushed, and she didn't answer, her beautiful eyes looked elsewhere, looking at her appearance, it seemed that she had really reached the level of intimacy with the Zhang family.
Zhen Mingku's sudden thought came to him, shouldn't Zhang tell this ingenious beauty about his closest things to her? In that case, he would not have kept any secrets from her now.
The meaty words he said to the Zhang family that could only be listened to by two people were heard by this eldest grandson Belle, and I don't know what he would think of his inconsistent behavior.
He asked tentatively, "What else did she tell you?" ”
"No, no." The eldest grandson Belle's tone flickered a little, and she diverted the topic and said: "You don't want to try other clothes anymore, you wait a minute, after Sister Zhang comes back, let me make you a few clothes, I'm afraid that you won't have any clothes to wear when you come back, since you are here today, give it a try, see if it fits, I'll change it for you if it doesn't fit." ”
Zhen Mingku stared at her somewhat flushed pretty face suspiciously, and became more and more sure that she was lying, and Zhang not only told her other things, but they were all very personal topics.
The eldest grandson, Belle, did not speak again, turned around and went into the inner room, and after a while, he came out of the inner room with a few sets of robes specially made for him.
"This is Sister Zhang's special come to me to help sew it when she came back from the Turks, you can try it to see if it fits."
These clothes were made by her after staying up for several nights in a row and putting down other tasks in her hands.
……
Zhen tried them on one by one, but he didn't expect it to fit surprisingly, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, his body has been strong more than once in the past three years in his military career, how could she know his body size?
Because of the perennial march and horseback riding, his bust was obviously three or four sizes larger than back then, and she actually knew it? The dress was clearly made to his measurements.
"Does it fit?"
Zhen Mingku came back to his senses from his daze, nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, it fits well, it just so happens that the clothes you made for me last time have been worn for many years, and the size is a little small, how much silver are these clothes, I will send them to you tomorrow." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Belle, and she asked in a low voice, "Are you still wearing the clothes I made for you before?" ”
"Of course, I'm used to wearing the clothes you make, and I'm really not comfortable wearing other clothes on my body, plus the clothes you make are good in style, quality, and comfortable to wear, it's a pity to throw them away, so I've been wearing them, you see, this underwear is still the ...... you made for me."
Zhen Ming said bitterly, turning over the collar to reveal the underwear inside.
The eldest grandson Belle glanced at it quickly, blushed and said, "Sister Zhang has already given the silver, and I originally wanted to send it to Sister Zhang, since you are here, put it on, and save me another trip." ”
Zhen Mingku took the sets of clothes specially customized for him from her hand, and asked with a smile: "Has Goose Goose come to you these days?" ”
"Yes."
She asked, a little surprised, "You haven't gone to her yet?" ”
