  Chapter 484 Meijiao's Grievance

   At noon.

  Nangong Meijiao came out of the last shop with Aunt Mu, her cheeks burning hot.

  The whole morning, they went to seven shops in a row.

  I went to almost all the shops in the inner city, but in the end, without exception, all of them were politely rejected.

  No one wants to hang such shameful clothes in the store.

  Although they were all respectful and respectful, they said all kinds of good things to her, and even begged in various ways, but after all, no one dared to agree to her.

  Although these seven shops are all owned by Nanguo County Prince's Mansion, there is a competitive relationship among the shops.

  Whoever does not sell well will not only withdraw the store owner, but also the store may lose its security.

  So no one dares to take the risk to agree to her, even if she is the princess of Nanguo Palace.

   Nangong Meijiao stood on the street, frowning, thinking about the eyes of those people just now, her cheeks were still hot, and she suddenly felt a little regretful.

   If there is no accident, those people will definitely tell the people in the mansion, and then pass it on to the mother and even the father...

   "Damn it! How can I agree to such a shameful and embarrassing thing! I blame that shameless **** for designing such clothes. I made a bet with him, why should I help him?"

  She clenched her fists and couldn't help cursing angrily in a low voice.

  Aunt Mu stood aside, holding a black package in her hand, with the same embarrassing expression on her face.

   Nangong Meijiao said angrily: "Go, go to the Qin Mansion, we don't care about this matter."

  Aunt Mu followed silently.

  I didn’t drive a carriage today, so I had to hire one at the intersection.

  But when they were about to reach Moxue Bookstore, Nangong Meijiao suddenly stopped, looked at the bookstore in front of her, her expression changed for a while, then she turned and asked, "Aunt Mu, do Xueyi have many friends?"

  Aunt Mu thought for a while after hearing the words, and said: "Miss Xueyi often goes out to participate in various literary meetings, and has a good relationship with the ladies in other princes and marquises. She should have many friends."

   Nangong Meijiao said with a cold face: "Then tell me, if this kind of clothes are given to her, can she do anything?"

  Aunt Mu took a look at her face, and said: "Miss Xueyi knows everyone's daughter, so she shouldn't be interested in this kind of clothes, and Miss Xueyi probably wouldn't dare to take this kind of clothes out."

   Nangong Meijiao sneered: "That's not necessarily true. If Luo Qingzhou came to ask her for help in person, do you think she would sell it for him without shame?"

  Aunt Mu didn't dare to say anything.

   Nangong Meijiao took another look at the bookstore in front of her, then suddenly turned around and said, "She has friends, so don't I have no friends? Let's continue."

  Aunt Mu followed behind without speaking.

   Cross a few streets.

  Nangong Meijiao stopped at the intersection with a frustrated face, looked around blankly, and murmured: "Well, I really don't have any friends..."

  She sighed, and said: "Aunt Mu, tell me, who should we ask for help? I promised Weimo, and I can't break my promise."

Aunt Mu thought about it carefully, and suddenly her heart moved, and said: "Miss, we actually have a shop that specializes in custom-made outerwear and underwear. But that shop is not on the main road, and the business is not very good. Compared with other shops for two consecutive years, They are all at the bottom, so we are going to withdraw this year. But there are still a few months, we can go there and give it a try.”

   Nangong Meijiao said helplessly: "Let's go, no matter whether we can sell it or not, as long as we can hang it there, I will complete the task Wei Mo gave me, and I won't be ashamed to see her."

  The two walked through the alley to the west of the inner city, and soon came to a street.

   It was noon at this time, and there were still many people on the street.

  Aunt Mu took the package, walked in front, and soon entered a clothing store.

  In addition to a young woman, there was only one maid in the shop, and the two were sitting in the shop boredly talking.

  In the huge shop, no customers came in.

   This is the time when the sun is at its strongest. Women are afraid of getting tanned, so they seldom go shopping.

  After Aunt Mu brought Nangong Meijiao in, the young woman and maid thought that a guest had come in, so they got up to greet them.

  But when she saw the person coming, the young woman was surprised, and quickly walked over and said, "Sister Mu, what brought you here, please come in, do you want to see the clothes?"

  Aunt Mu pointed to Nangong Meijiao at the back and introduced: "Xu Mei, this is Miss Meijiao. I have nothing to do today, so I came to your shop to have a look, and I have something to do with you."

  Xu Mei was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly bowed to salute: "Ms. Xu pays her respects to Miss. I didn't know that Miss came here a few days ago. I was far away from welcoming her. Please forgive me."

  She wondered secretly, what is this eldest lady doing here suddenly today, regardless of these things?

  Nangong Meijiao asked for something, and said politely: "You are welcome, Aunt Xu, I also came here by accident today."

   Then he said: "I heard from Aunt Mu that your shop will be closed this year, isn't it?"

  Xu Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she said with an ugly face: "Miss, we are useless. The performance in the past two years has been at the bottom, and many clothes can't be sold back..."

   Nangong Meijiao waved her hand, walked into the shop, and while looking at the clothes hanging on it, she said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to question you today, I'm just here to take a look, please do me a favor by the way."

  Xu Mei was surprised when she heard it, and immediately said: "Miss, if there is anything, just ask, there is no point in saying to help, isn't this a little bitch."

  Nangong Meijiao walked into the back room again, observed for a while, and asked, "Why are your clothes not selling well? Do you know the reason?"

Xu Mei hurriedly said: "Returning to the princess, one is that there is a clothing store at the end of the street, the fabric is worse than what we use, and the price is cheaper, and there are many clothes purchased from other countries in the shops on the street. , the style is new, so we can’t compare; the second is that the traffic here is not as good as the main road, and the locations of the other seven stores are better, so we can’t sell. Third, it may be that Xiaohuan and I are indeed compared. People who don’t go to other shops…”

  After listening, Nangong Meijiao said, "Aunt Xu, if this shop is closed, where will you go?"

Xu Mei's eyes turned red immediately, and she said: "Miss, if this store is really removed, Xiaohuan and I may have nothing to do, our stores are all competing with each other, and the ones at the bottom will be eliminated in the end. ..."

Speaking of this, she rubbed her eyes and begged: "Miss, can you go back and tell shopkeeper Ning that if this shop is withdrawn, don't drive us away, let Xiaohuan and I go to other shops to help, You can pay less wages so we can have something to eat, okay? My family still has children to raise, and Xiaohuan also has a younger brother to raise..."

Nangong Meijiao frowned and said, "Don't worry, I won't drive you away. If our store doesn't want you, I will help you find a new one. Aunt Xu, I'm here today just for the new store. Yes. I have a bellyband and a pair of stockings here, and I want to hang them here to see the effect, can you see it?"

  As soon as Xu Mei heard it, she immediately said gratefully: "Of course, miss, just bring it, let alone one, ten are fine."

  Nangong Meijiao showed an unnatural expression on her face, she turned her head to look at Aunt Mu and said, "Take it out and show it to Aunt Xu."

  Aunt Mu unwrapped the package, took out the apron and the pair of stockings from inside, and unfolded them in front of her.

  Xu Mei: "..."

  The maid behind her suddenly opened her eyes wide and blushed.

  Nangong Meijiao said with some embarrassment: "Aunt Xu, I will hang it with you for three days. If it cannot be sold, we will come and take it away. Do you think it is okay?"

  Xu Mei opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully: "Miss, this dress... I'm afraid it's hard to sell."

  Seeing the expression on her face, Nangong Meijiao knew that she was regretting it. She was heartbroken, and immediately ordered: "Aunt Mu, go and hang this apron and stockings in the back room. We will come to pick them up in three days."

  Aunt Mu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately entered the room.

   "Miss, this..."

  Seeing this, Xu Mei hurriedly wanted to stop it, but she didn't dare, and said with a bitter face: "Miss, this dress... this dress... can't be sold, it's too... hey..."

   Nangong Meijiao said cheekily: "It's okay, your shop is about to be closed anyway, so what does it matter if you are laughed at? Aunt Xu, aren't you willing to help me even with this little help?"

  At this time, Aunt Mu had already hung up her bellyband and stockings and came out of the house.

Xu Mei secretly groaned, seeing that the deal was done, she could only force a smile on her face and said, "Since you want to hang it up, let's hang it up. What the lady said is that this shop will be closed this year anyway, so it doesn't matter, hey ..."

Nangong Meijiao was afraid that she would repent, so she didn't dare to stay any longer, and said, "Aunt Xu, thank you. You don't have to take the initiative to introduce the apron and stockings to the guests. If they enter the back room, they will naturally see it, even if they don't. It doesn't matter. Anyway, three days later, we will come to pick it up on time, and your business will not be delayed."

   After finishing speaking, he took Aunt Mu to say goodbye and left.

"Hey…"

  Xu Mei sent her to the door, seeing that both of them had walked away, Fang sighed.

  Xiaohuan said weakly behind him: "The bellyband and stockings can be seen inside... I am afraid that customers will scold us for being shameless when they see it..."

  Xu Mei turned around and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, anyway, it will only be released for three days, and the princess will take it away after three days. It doesn't matter if it affects our reputation. Anyway, our store can't continue to open..."

  Xiaohuan whispered: "It will definitely not be sold, who will buy it."

   PM.

  Three waves of guests came in, and only one wave of guests entered the back room to look at underwear such as underwear.

  One of the women saw the strange bellyband and stockings, and suddenly opened her eyes: "Good... what a shameful dress..."

  When the other women saw it, they were also speechless.

   "This kind of clothes...Can I wear it? Look inside, you can see that the middle of the apron is actually separated, and there is only a thin rope tied on it, which can't even cover the stomach..."

   "When you touch these stockings, they feel so soft and slippery, but when you wear them on your legs, it looks like you haven't worn them, and they are still flesh-colored...It's so shameful, it looks like you're not wearing pants..."

   "It's too embarrassing, too embarrassing..."

  A few women chatted for a while in the back room, and then they came out blushing and said, "What kind of shop, dirty! We won't come here again."

  Xu Mei and Xiaohuan immediately lowered their heads in embarrassment, not daring to speak back, wanting to cry but not crying.

   At this time, the Prince's Mansion of Nanguo County also got the news.

  The concubine immediately sent someone out, took Nangong Meijiao home, and asked her what she did in the morning.

  Nangong Meijiao knew that the matter was exposed, so she didn't dare to hide it, and told everything.

After hearing this, the concubine thought that it was the Qin family's business, so she didn't pursue it any further. She just reprimanded her: "You are a majestic princess, next time you don't want to show your face to do such a thing in person, just ask the servants to do it. So as not to make people laugh."

   said again: "Three days later, it must be taken away, and it is not allowed to be taken back in the future."

  After hearing the reprimand, Nangong Meijiao left depressed.

  Backing to the room, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and said to herself: It's all because of that bastard, and I have to find him to vent my anger today.

  She took Aunt Mu and Mother Nine out, and went directly to the outer city.

  At this time, Song Ruyue had already entered the Zhou Mansion with a few of her friends, and was eating melon seeds and chatting in the back garden.

  The second wife of the Zhou family, Liu Honghua, accompanied her in person.

   From time to time, bursts of coquettish laughter came from the back garden, causing other guests to peek sideways.

  Several middle-aged men passed by deliberately chatting, took a peek, and said in a low voice: "What a beautiful woman, look at the one in the moon white dress..."

   "Sure enough, the best, who's?"

   "I don't know, I'll ask my sister-in-law later."

at dusk.

  Luo Qingzhou, Sister Dao, and Chu Xiaoxiao walked towards Zhou Mansion together after they left the martial arts hall.

  Chu Xiaoxiao chatted non-stop along the way, looking very excited.
