Chapter 118 Why not try another style?



Chapter 118 Why not try another style?

"Xiao Kui, the young lady is here." Even though Xia Weiwei was wearing a veil, she was still recognized by Liang Yun and the others. After all, they had protected her for a period of time before.

"I saw it. There are many people here. Tell the brothers to keep a close eye on it and don't let the young lady get hurt." If Zhang Shixian hadn't been crazy about dragging people to take the blame, they wouldn't have been implicated and demoted to official slaves. It was also because Xia Zhaofeng was really good to them and didn't bring any harm to their families, ensuring that their families could still live as usual.

"Okay, how about I take two brothers to guard the door?" There were too many girls coming to the shop to try on clothes. It was not convenient for a man to stay here all the time. Liang Yun thought it would be better to watch from outside.

"Yeah, you're right." Xiao Kui also thought that it was embarrassing for them to see girls trying on clothes back and forth. "Qiu Yihan and I will go to the counter and watch." This way, even if there are still people making trouble, they can be stopped in time without hindering the girls and ladies from trying on clothes.

"Miss, this dress is beautiful." Hongling saw a set of pink Hanfu hanging in the shop and asked the female tailor to take it down. "Miss, would you like to try it on?"

"Well, let me try this one too." She really liked the style of the horse-faced skirt. She had never seen this style before. After putting it on, she didn't want to take it off. "Jinrong, go pay." She wanted to wear it home to show her mother.

"Miss, why don't you try other styles?" Seeing Xia Weiwei bought five sets of horse-faced skirts in different colors at once, Jin Rong sighed. There were many other styles of clothes that looked good, but it was a pity that the young lady didn't like them and was unwilling to try them.

"No, I'm tired. Let me go home and eat first." Xia Weiwei, wearing a horse-faced skirt and a veil hat, was about to leave.

"Miss, don't we go to Ruyi Restaurant for dinner?" The food in that new restaurant was delicious, so Hongling wanted to ask the young lady to take them there to eat again.

"Do you like the food at Ruyi Restaurant?" Xia Weiwei also wanted to go, but she knew she couldn't go because the owner was Yang Biao, and if she went too often, her mother would cause trouble for her.

"No, I..." Hongling was speechless. She stood there with her head down, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Miss, aren't you tired and want to go home for dinner?" Jin Rong hurriedly pulled Hong Ling to smooth things over, "Come on, let's go back."

"Wow, this skirt looks so good on my baby." As soon as Xia Weiwei returned to the Xia Mansion, she met Xia Zhaofeng who was also on duty. The dinner ended with his praise.

"Mother, aren't you going to accompany daddy?" Didn't my father come back? Why did he come to me?

"Your skirt is so beautiful. Did you buy it?" Liu hesitated for a long time, but finally asked.

"Yes, Wang Yu told her daughter that there is a newly opened silk shop that sells many styles of beautiful clothes. Her daughter bought five sets of skirts in different colors." If she didn't buy them herself, did the mother think they were given to her by someone else?

"Oh, they are very beautiful. What colors are the other four sets?" Liu looked around her daughter's boudoir and didn't see any other clothes. "Bring them to mother to see."

"Hongling, go get it for my mother." Xia Weiwei was a little unhappy. Why did her mother always stare at her and she had no freedom at all? "Mother, I'm tired. I won't accompany you." After saying that, she took off her clothes and went to bed.

"Hey,..." Liu wanted to talk to her, but when she saw Hongling taking out four sets of horse-faced skirts from the box, she reached out to take them, walked to the bed, and found that Xia Weiwei's breathing was even and she had fallen asleep. She had no choice but to go back with the four sets of skirts.

"It's true that my daughter bought it herself." Liu put all the skirts on the bed and said to Xia Zhaofeng.

"I think you're just worrying about nothing. My daughter knows her limits." Xia Zhaofeng was flipping through a book, not quite agreeing with his wife interfering too much in their child's social interactions.

"This silk is dyed nicely," Xia Zhaofeng inadvertently glanced at the horse-faced skirt in four colors and was attracted. He reached out to take it and looked at it carefully. "This skirt is really rare. You see, there are two skirt openings on the outside and two on the inside." The two overlap, the outer skirt opening has more decorations, and the inner skirt opening has slightly less decorations, and the sides of the skirt are pleated.

"The dyeing is good, and the price is also good. Five sets for one thousand six hundred taels of silver, and that's said to be a special price for the first day of business." Liu shook her head. A piece of silk is at most one thousand three hundred taels of silver. This skirt is too expensive.

"Don't blame your precious daughter. Let her spend money to make herself happy. It's not like we can't afford it. Besides, this skirt is really beautiful. I've never seen it before." Xia Zhaofeng was afraid that Liu would say something unpleasant and make his daughter unhappy.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Hongling smelled a milky aroma and saw Yang Biao coming towards her with a cowhide bag in his hand.

"This is a new food, called egg tarts." Yang Biao handed the leather bag to Xia Weiwei who was checking the herbs, and whispered, "This should be eaten while hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."

After saying that, he walked towards the medicine cabinet, "Give me some pepper and polygonum multiflorum..." After paying, he left.

Xia Weiwei waited until his back was out of sight before she opened the leather bag. Suddenly, the air was filled with the aroma of milk. "Is this an egg tart?" She took out an egg tart and saw that the crust was golden and crispy. She took a bite and felt the freshness, fragrance and tenderness in her mouth.

"Miss," Hongling was a little anxious. Why was Miss only busy eating by herself and not giving herself one?

"Let me give you a taste." Seeing her greedy look, Xia Weiwei found it funny and quickly took out an egg tart from the cowhide bag and handed it to her, and then took another one for Jinrong.

"Master, yesterday at midnight, we caught a few people who wanted to set fire to our silk shop." When Xiao Kui saw Yang Biao coming, he hurriedly reported to him what had happened.

"Well, who is the mastermind behind this?" He set fire to the shop. He is so dark and cruel.

"It is said that there is a silk shop not far from us, and the owner is called Xiang Qiang." Xiao Kui told him what he had learned. Fortunately, after closing the barbecue shop, Chi Liang and his friends sent the grilled lamb skewers over for the brothers to taste, otherwise those who lived in the backyard of the shop would have been burned to death.

"Send him to the government." Attempted arson is a severe punishment, so Yang Biao thought it would be better to let the authorities handle the matter.

“But…” Xiao Kui’s expression looked a little unnatural, and he spoke hesitantly.

"Could it be that you are..." Yang Biao had an ominous premonition in his heart. What should he do?

"They wanted to set fire to our shop, but we brothers were so angry that we used too much force." As expected, he guessed it right.

"What should we do now?" Yang Biao had a headache, remembering what Judge Cao had said when he betrayed them: if someone's boxing skills were slightly better, it was indeed slightly better, so much so that he even took the other person's life.

"They were thrown into a mass grave and fed to the dogs a long time ago," Xiao Kui and his men had killed enemies in battle before and made several thugs disappear without anyone noticing. They said they had no burden at all.

"Boss, there's a man named Joey Cao looking for you." The female shopkeeper came over and told Yang Biao that someone was looking for him.

"Cao Qiaoyi, Cao Tongpan?" Yang Biao looked at Xiao Kui irritably. You made a few people disappear suddenly, and their families won't look for them? "Is Lord Cao in charge of criminal cases?"
