In fact, what he did not know was that it was just because he had too abided by the rules of etiquette that others did not dare to get too close to him. The rules of etiquette were indispensable among the rich and noble families, and even a slight mistake, it would be spread to be very bad. But in the countryside, it was undoubtedly a kind of bondage. Chu Yan was still young, so obviously he didn’t think of that.
Seeing this, Zhao Dalong and Han Fei shouldn’t say anything more, so they both showed a smile and secretly warned themselves in the heart that if later the kids still wanted to buy something else, they should never let Chu Yan pay. Although he might find it not a thing, as two adults, they really felt ashamed.
On the other side, according to the waiter’s guidance, Ling Jingxuan and others really saw a row of carriages parked by the side of the road around the corner. Baiyunge was located in the west of the county, if by walk, it would take them at least an hour, so those carriages were prepared for those customers who wanted to save time, like bus or taxi in modern times. Even Ling Jingxuan couldn’t help admiring ancient people’s wisdom.
Five coppers each. Fortunately they didn’t bring the little bun with them, or his little face would have pulled very long again.
So rich! Xinyuan Restaurant and Baiyunge separately took the most prosperous section on the eat and west of the county. Compared with the luxuriant and huge Xinyuan Restaurant, Baiyunge was no worse. The front gate was grand and magnificent, two floors, and the red painted big gates with flowered carved on them looked so festive. After entering it, all kind of embroidery things, as little as the needles, as big as the embroidery screens, it had everything you could imagine, which really dazzled your eyes.
“What would you like, sirs?”
Seeing them go in, the waiter instantly moved toward to greet them with a big smile. There were already a lot of customers in the shop, but most of them were women. Even if there were men, they came with those women. And male customers like them, they could only see like once in half a month.
“I want to talk to your shopkeeper about some business. I wonder if he’s available?”
Scanning an empty counter, Ling Jingxuan directly got to the point, since he still cared about the kids.”
“The shopkeeper is on the second floor. Please wait for a moment.”
The waiter threw them a suspicious look, not having some kind of contemptuous feeling, and then turned to go to the second floor. Ling Jingxuan directly went forward to check each showcase. Except those embroidery things, there were also gold & silver jewelries and other stuff, like it had everything a woman might want. It even had the gold hairpins for men. The only thing he didn’t see was clothes or cloth. And then he swept over at the direction where the stairs. Should be above? The showcases for clothes and cloth?
“Sir, what can I do for you?”
After a while, a white, fat and Maitreya Buddha-like man came down from the upstairs, judging from his appearance, not more than forty years old.
“I have a few curiosities here to show you. I wonder if you are interested?”
Ling Jingxuan carefully sized him up and down, then turned back to take a bundle from Zhang Qing, then opened it in front of those guests.”
“What a big pouch!”
“Good exquisite handicraft, the flower on it seems not to be embroidered nor stitched. How did you make it?”
“Not bad. New style. Just a little too big.”
A few braver female guests instantly gathered around the moment they saw those handbags. They weighed them in the hands and checked them carefully. Before this, Ling Jingxuan and others had already thoughtfully made way for them. Those women’s discussion was all praising. And the shopkeeper on the other side knew those things could be sold at a high price as he saw this scene, so his interest under the eyes grew denser.
“Miss, you are right. It’s good that it is this big. When you women go out, it’s avoidable that your makeup would fall. If you are in the middle of a party or what, wouldn’t it be embarrassed? But, if you take this handbag with you, you can bring all things like rouge and pearl powder in it with you. Then, even if you meet hat kind of embarrassing situation, you could make it up instantly, right? Besides, take a look. This bag is not just a pouch, but a handbag, of you can call it shoulder bag. You can hold it in your hand or take it with your elbow. Instead of looking ugly or what, it would add some different feeling to your beautiful face.”
Clearly noticing the expression change on the shopkeeper’s face, Ling Jingxuan, with a smile, moved forward and made some demonstration for them.
“Oh, what you said is quite reasonable. This bag is really much prettier than the pouch. How much?”
“I also would like one. It should suit me quite well.”
“Yeah, really not bad. Childe, how much is it?”
After his words, those women who were only curious before now all showed great desire of wanting it. Ling Jingxuan turned his eyes and made an apologetic smile, “Sorry, misses. I plan to sell those handbags to Baiyunge, not retail. If you really want to buy, you can come some other day after I talk about the price with the boss here.”
“Oh, all right. Then, Shopkeeper Hong, nail it as soon as possible.”
Those were all ladies from those rich families, of course they wouldn’t bargain or what here like those village women. Hearing him, they reluctantly put down those handbags. And then, Shopkeeper Zhang who had seen the whole scene raised a smile, “Madam Wang, you can count on me. Our Baiyunge would never let down our customers. This…Hmm…shoulder bag would soon hit the shelf.”
Those words were like telling Ling Jingxuan they would cooperate for sure. For this, Ling Jingpeng and Zhang Qing who were standing behind couldn’t help giving their thumbs-up in the heart for him. That was their big brother. It was just like a piece of cake for him.
“Come on in, please.”
After seeing off those ladies, Shopkeeper Hong turned to entertain them with great enthusiasm, while his eyes swept over at Zhang Qing who was putting away those handbags now and then.
“Shopkeeper Hong, after you.”
After all it was not like some old acquaintance like Shopkeeper Zhang, Ling Jingxuan wore a faint smiled and was very modest. Shopkeeper Hong was also very satisfied with his attitude. After nagging something to the waiter, he took them to the back.
