Su Xin nodded, "Yes, I have packed them all. The size is a little small, but it shouldn't be a big problem. And there is no underwear here, so I can sell it at a higher price."
As a wedding ship in the port area, Amagi was actually reluctant to sell the young commander's underwear.
It’s just that we are really short of money right now, and with bellybands and chest-wrapping being the fashion, perhaps this kind of thing will be more popular than long sleeves and long pants.
"Now that everything is ready, go wake up Taiyang and tell her to wait for us at home."
"Eh? Don't you want to eat breakfast? I'll be up soon."
Tiancheng gave her an annoyed look and said, "I know you're in a hurry. Just take something to eat on the way."
Su Xin smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry... I promise, this is the last time I will act willfully!"
"What are you two doing...?"
"My daughter is good at housework and has a clever mind. Yesterday, she suddenly had an idea and made some underwear for girls. The style is special and I want to sell it to the shopkeeper to help supplement the family income."
The woman looked at the pretty girl outside the door, then at the cloth held in the hands of the maid in front of her.
The style is indeed strange, a shape I have never seen before. It is easy to guess where it is used, but even if you don't wear it, just looking at it is very bold and makes people blush.
The woman shook her head without thinking, "You might as well go ask the shop that makes those tools. I'm afraid we can't accept them here."
Tiancheng understood that the other party had misunderstood. In fact, the situation of the previous few families was similar.
When she took out her T-shirt and pants, at most people would praise them for their unique styles, but after all, they were not made of silk, so the price could not be raised.
When she took out her underwear, the store owner pushed her out without saying a word, like a hooligan. It was as if she had seen a pervert, which was really laughable.
But if you think about it, you can understand that these lace-up and lace-up ones printed with little bears, flowers and peaches are a bit too avant-garde.
No one cares about its functions of improving body posture and preventing sagging, but its significance in terms of erotic appeal has been infinitely elevated.
In addition, the town is not very large to begin with, and it has its current excess population only because it is far away from the capital. It is simply a pipe dream to expect someone to recognize the value of the town.
As the sky was getting dark, the little commander was in a bad mood as none of the piles of clothes were sold.
Tiancheng couldn't bear to see the other person's expression. He was depressed, as if he was abandoned by everyone. He was almost burned out standing in the sunset.
She shook her head helplessly and continued to work hard.
"It's a little small, but it's not what the shopkeeper thinks. Just treat it as a breast wrap."
"This... no, no, it's too extravagant, and the price you're asking is too high, fifty taels for a set. If I can't sell it, where can I go to complain?"
"Shopkeeper, you will know once you try it on. It is worth fifty taels. My lady sells it to you. You can mass produce it with a little research. How can it be a loss?"
The woman had a relatively blessed physique, and one could tell without even looking at Su Xin's clothes that they definitely wouldn't fit her.
She didn't want to waste time. Not only was business bad, but even sex toys were being marketed to her store. If a customer came in and saw this, it would be even harder to do business in the future.
Tiancheng was about to persuade her again, but the woman waved her hand and tried to drive her out.
By chance, a little girl popped her head out of the room and looked at Tiancheng and the shopkeeper who were arguing with each other. "Mom, it's time to eat... Hey? What's that?"
The woman wanted to cover something from her daughter, but when she pressed it, she found that it felt very good, elastic and could recover, and the fabric was smoothest she had ever seen.
Tian Cheng saw that she was stunned, and quickly changed the topic, "Has it changed? It just so happens that your daughter and my young lady have similar body shapes, why not let her try, and you can discuss it with her."
The little girl came closer, looked at her hesitant mother, looked at the pretty maid, and then she boldly opened her hands and took out a bra to study it.
The woman was about to scold her for being shameless when she heard her daughter praise her for being pretty.
Seeing how he couldn't let it go, this business... maybe it can be done?
The business of the store was not good now, so she decided to try everything. She simply took her daughter into the inner room to change the store and started to discuss the matter.
Seeing that there was still hope, Tiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to turn around to comfort the lost Su Xin, he saw a man wearing a veiled hat walking into the women's clothing shop.
After all, it was her daughter's privacy, so she unnoticeably hid the rest of her bra under her clothes.
The man walked into the house and strolled around, seemingly picking out clothes, but he didn't find anything he liked. After going around in circles, he finally stopped in front of Tiancheng.
"Girl, can you sell your clothes?"
A broken voice is like the sawing sound made by a beginner in string instrument. It is unpleasant and harsh, and there is no room for improvement at all.
Tiancheng secretly didn't want to sell it, especially to a man who was very secretive, so he casually quoted the price of the underwear as fifty taels, and the other party actually nodded in agreement.
Her face froze, and she looked over at the little conductor who was very happy after hearing the voice, and gave up helplessly.
The person didn't want long sleeves or long pants, so he picked out a few skirts. He also showed interest in silk stockings that he had never worn before, and bought a few pairs for twenty-five taels.
The moment I took the banknote, I had the money to redeem myself.
Su Xin watched the other party leave with satisfaction, then turned back and ran into the store, "Wow... That's enough, shall we go? Bring Sister Cuizhu back!"
"Eh? Eh, wait, wait." The woman who went into the room to study came out and called them, "I changed my mind. This thing is really extraordinary. I want all of it... Um? Where are those... bellybands?"
Tiancheng frowned, still reluctant to sell, and lied that a man had just bought them all, then took out a silver note and showed it vaguely.
The woman secretly sighed, and after thinking for a while she decided to buy the remaining skirt that was still acceptable. After negotiating the price, she paid for it happily, and by the way, she also ordered another "belly band" from Su Xin.
Commander Su had no time to deal with that, so he dragged Tiancheng towards Furong Garden.
Tiancheng saw that she was about to have the words "I have enough money" written on her face, so he immediately stopped her and persuaded her to go back, so as to prevent Laoya from raising the price.
Su Xin was not very happy, but she knew that she really couldn't help.
There was no written agreement and she couldn't kidnap the person. If the madam really wanted to raise the price, she would be unable to do anything but get angry.
If I get cheated again, the day of redeeming Cuizhu will have to be delayed for a few more days. After all, I will definitely pay for it if the other party eats her to death.
After thinking it over, I decided to listen to Tiancheng's advice, go back and prepare the food, and then celebrate with the four of us.
Tian Cheng got her assurance, then he packed his banknotes and rushed to Furong Garden.
I was jogging and panting, but my heart was a little more at ease.
"Got a bone, you have to be quiet for a few days...
PS: The reason why it looks bad is because of the glass shards... But don't be afraid, it's still pretty good compared to a knife (probably?
Chapter 1185 The pale and fragile ice sculpture (may not be suitable, you can skip
Furongyuan is some distance away from the clothing store.
After all, in order to ensure that they could rush to pick up the person as soon as the ransom money was collected, they started selling from the nearest shop after leaving the inn.
Unfortunately, the first few families were unwilling to buy, so they had to run farther away, and the return journey took even longer.
Moreover, more and more people went to Furong Garden at night, and Tiancheng had no time to change her clothes and was still dressed as a maid.
The closer you get to Hibiscus Garden while wearing female attire, the more obstacles you encounter, both overt and covert.
Some people pretended to drop things in the hope of a chance encounter, some recited poems aloud in an attempt to gain favor, and some simply walked slowly in front on purpose to attract some attention.
Tiancheng was out of breath halfway through the run and had no choice but to slow down and hurry on.
Even though she was so anxious, she only arrived at the gate of Furong Garden just as it was getting dark.
The male guests coming in and out looked at her as a woman coming alone, and their gazes became increasingly explicit.
Tiancheng pretended to catch someone cheating and walked in with great fanfare. He then deliberately walked around twice as if he was really looking for someone, which dispelled some covetous gazes.
But it's just to fool people who are not aware of the situation.
When the old procuress saw that the girl looked familiar, she thought for a moment and remembered that she was the young man who wanted to redeem her when they had dinner and drinks together yesterday. She was immediately furious.
I really lost money on the deal last night, as two idle girls redeemed my cash cow.
After collecting the money at night, she lay in bed and thought about it and realized something was wrong. Although the redeemed maid was mentally ill and strong, she looked very well-behaved.
A good appearance is the biggest trademark in this place. She should find a way to drag people into the water instead of charging them money to send them ashore.
A one-time deal of a few hundred taels is definitely not as good as decades of sustained profits.
At worst, she could earn less and just buy some medicine and mix it into the food to feed that idiot. He can't tell right from wrong anyway.
The old duck became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and felt that the duck that was right at his mouth had flown away.
There is also Cuizhu, who helps outsiders bargain, but she is also ungrateful and thinks that giving them less of a meal is a bargain.
But thinking about the arrangements for tonight, her anger subsided a lot. At least she could put on a good face and reach out to Chongtiancheng for help.
"Hey, the young master is here? Have you collected the ransom money? It's only been a day~"
"Oh my... I was blind and didn't recognize the real thing. I should have come to you to get it yesterday. Why did I bother you to make another trip?"
Tiancheng didn't have time to waste talking to the madam. The stubborn little boy at home was enough to worry him.
Besides, this place is not some paradise. It is better to rescue people and leave as soon as possible. After all, she is not much different from ordinary people now. The longer she stays, the more likely it is that something will go wrong.
So Tiancheng raised his chin towards Laoya and said, "I'm glad to know. If the young lady hadn't thought that those two people were a good match, how could she have let you have them? Find a private room and call Cuizhu over."
"Miss? The little girl from yesterday?" The madam waved her round fan. "I thought she was so pure, but it turns out she is also a girl."
"Oh, what a good thing! I have so many girls here. Is there any that suits your eyes? How about redeeming them all with your daughter?"
Tiancheng frowned, "I'll say it again, my young lady is traveling all over the world and will leave in two days. She has no time to waste with you. Where's Cuizhu?"
"Cuizhu is here, of course she is~"
"But I'm afraid you'll have to wait. Would you like some tea? Since you're paying, I can give you a few pots of tea so you don't have to sit there bored."
Tiancheng felt strange and had a bad feeling. "What do you mean? Why should I wait... You let her receive guests?!"
The old duck rolled his eyes. "Why? As long as she stays in Furong Garden, she will be under my orders. I am also showing my kindness by letting her fend for herself and take some money with her when she leaves."
She is really not a good person. She can say anything. No wonder she can become a brothel owner. Her conscience has been eaten by a dog.
Tiancheng was extremely angry, but he couldn't do anything to the other party.
The indenture is still in the other party's hands. If they are really unwilling to take the money and the deal falls through, then all the efforts made before will be in vain.
So she suppressed her anger, took out a small stack of banknotes and shook them, "Ransom, plus fifty taels. Please ask Cuizhu to come out, and treat it as if I pointed her out."
Old Duck's eyes lit up when he saw the banknote. The price was indeed high. You know, Cuizhu would be transferred to do odd jobs in two years. Fifty taels a night, there would not be another sucker.
But the person she sent Cuizhu to serve today...
"Ahahaha... Miss, you are so generous. We should do as you wish. But to be honest, the guest who specifically requested Cuizhu is of an extraordinary status. I'm afraid it's not a good idea..."
Tian Cheng was really fed up with this guy. "Add another fifty taels. You can go to the pawnshop in the west of the town and ask. The shopkeeper bought my young lady's two diamond beads for three hundred taels."
The price of diamond beads is not that high. Three hundred taels for two of them is basically like giving away money.
The old duck secretly wondered, could it be that this was a rich girl who came here to hang out?
But no matter how rich the merchants are, they cannot compete with the masters who hold some official positions.
The door was closed, and she went to knock on it again to get someone to come out...
The old duck looked at the stack of banknotes, gritted his teeth and agreed. At most, he would get an extra girl to serve him. Anyway, he could get an extra hundred taels, which was not a loss no matter how he looked at it.
Tiancheng watched the other person's chubby body leave the room, then he clenched his fists and took two deep breaths.
This place really made her feel irritated. The flower-like rouge scent was sickening, and the smell of wine and meat was not appetizing at all, but made her want to vomit.
Even though she is mentally mature, she is still like this. If Su Xin is allowed to stay for a long time, she will probably feel even more uncomfortable.
"We still have to find Enterprise and the others as soon as possible. Even if there is no good solution, we have to bring Su Su back first."
"She's been becoming more unpredictable lately."
"I was a little impulsive when I first came here, but the longer I stayed, the more obvious my impatience became. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even be able to talk to you properly."
"...After all, I shouldn't have come here. It's safer to wait for Helena and the others to return home."
"But in this case, the observer's clone will...
"Well, let's make the best of it now. Let's finish the current task first and then think about it—"
The door was pushed open again. The chubby old duck was sweating on his forehead and smiled in a flattering manner, feeling embarrassed.
"Girl, this... this..."
"I've already given you an extra 100 taels. I think you should know how high the price is. You won't regret it, right?"
"No regrets, no regrets, it's them..."
"It's only been a short time since the store opened. Ordinary people have just had their meals. The music hasn't been played yet and the wine hasn't been poured yet. Don't tell me they've already reached that stage!"
"This, this, this... I, I did convey it, and the official agreed, but, but Cuizhu didn't want to..."
Tian Cheng didn't react, "What do you mean? What do you mean Cui Zhu doesn't want to?"
