Xu Bo'an stepped into the cloth shop. There were cloths of various textures and colors, which made him dazzled.
Xu Bo'an was instantly overwhelmed by the colorful fabrics that came into view, and he didn't know where to start.
When he was a child, Xu Bo'an remembered that he wore clothes made by his mother and cloth shoes with mille-layer soles. Even at that time, Xu Bo'an didn't know about down jackets and thermal underwear. Some of them were handmade cotton clothes, cotton trousers and woven fabrics. sweater. It's just that when Xu Bo'an was a child, he always wore ready-made clothes and never thought about understanding these craftsmanship.
As Xu Bo'an grew up, society also experienced rapid changes and great development. After Xu Bo'an had the right to decide his own clothing choices, whether it was the various work clothes issued by the company or the clothes he wanted to buy , they are all finished products, you can just buy them after trying them on, so Xu Boan has never had the experience of custom-made clothes.
Of course, Xu Bo'an has also heard that there are still many expensive privately customized clothes, but Xu Bo'an has never felt that he has this need, so he has never understood this industry, so he does not have this experience and relevant understanding.
Even after online shopping became available, Xu Boan only needed to randomly select styles on the shopping website, and then choose according to his XXL number. It was extremely simple and fast.
So, now facing these dazzling arrays of fabrics of various colors, Xu Boan is even a little at a loss. He didn’t know how to choose fabric material and style, let alone how to communicate with the store.
Which fabric is suitable for what style of clothes, and how should I express my needs? Xu Bo'an didn't know where to start with these issues that he had never been exposed to before.
Because of the momentary discomfort, Xu Boan was momentarily stunned.
At this moment, the only two or three service staff in the store were chatting with a few regular customers and those who seemed to have purchasing power. No one took the initiative to talk to Xu Boan. touch.
Xu Bo'an, who knew nothing about the texture of Da Jing Dynasty clothing, had to rely on intuition to choose.
He picked up a piece of blue-black satin fabric. It felt smooth and bright in color. It looked pretty good.
Xu Bo'an looked around, and was about to find someone who looked like he had just finished working with a client to ask about the specific process of making clothes, when he suddenly heard a burst of ridicule.
“Hey, look at this poor man who ran out of nowhere. Not only is he dressed like a beggar, but he even struggles to pick up a piece of fabric. At first glance, he looks like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. . ”
Xu Boan turned around to look for the sound, and saw a few rich kids in gorgeous clothes pointing at him and laughing. He was accompanied by several followers who were also well-dressed and looked at Xu Bo'an with the same joking expression.
What a ghost. You just met a kind-hearted person, and the warmth in your heart has not yet subsided. In the blink of an eye, you meet such a group of rotten people who affect your mood and bring your mood back again. If the average value is found, this can be regarded as the law of conservation of energy!
Xu Boyan felt a slight flash of displeasure, but he still tolerated it a little and ignored the ridicule of those people.
After all, Xu Boan wanted to seize the time to do something meaningful after finally coming in. He didn't want to waste his time dealing with these trivial trouble-making things.
You must know that the time loss rate ratio between the real world and the bonsai world is about one to one. Under such circumstances, Xu Boan, who came in temporarily to avoid the collapse of the tunnel, had not had time to explain some things in the real world. .
If he stays in the bonsai world for too long this time, he may be misunderstood as a missing person in the real world. It would be bad if his household registration is canceled and treated as a black account. .
Therefore, although Xu Bo'an was reluctant to spend so much incense and energy when he came in this time, seriously speaking, in order to avoid being "disappeared" in the real world, he could not stay in the bonsai world for too long this time, so Xu Bo'an felt that I still have to race against time to spend my time on meaningful exploration, and try not to create extraneous matters as much as possible.
However, Xu Bo'an was too lazy to pay attention to these bad people, but those rich kids thought that Xu Bo'an, a poor guy, was afraid of them because of his cowardice. These people refused to give up and continued to treat him more arrogantly. Taunt and ridicule.
"Haha, look at the strange strips of cloth on his body and the wooden look on his face. It's just... he really looks like a refugee fleeing a disaster. Let's gather in Xishan. This place has almost become a shelter, and there are a lot of refugees coming in these days." Seeing that Xu Bo'an did not dare to talk to him, the leader of the wealthy family became even more arrogant. This attracted more people's attention to Xu Bo'an, and even some people who liked to watch the excitement heard the commotion here and took the initiative to run in from outside to watch the excitement.
Furthermore, more people began to point fingers at Xu Boan.
Since this period of time, because Shanyang County and even the surrounding areas of Qingmu Prefecture have encountered frequent chaos caused by the White Cotton Religion rebels and the Qianliang uprising army, many refugees have been scattered around to escape the war.
After all, Kaoshan Village is remote and has low visibility. It only absorbs a few hundred refugees who happen to pass by. Xishan Market Town is a relatively well-known place among the eight nearby villages. There will naturally be more refugees fleeing.
Those people watching the excitement were just whispering and pointing, but the people around the rich boy were much more unscrupulous. Soon, someone echoed their master's remarks and continued He shouted loudly: "Yes, this kind of person is worthy of coming to the best cloth shop in our Xishan Fair to buy cloth for clothes? What a joke! He is really ignorant and shameless!"
Another follower echoed: "Especially the dignified eldest lady of the Su family actually shows mercy to such a person and smiles. It really makes people feel that it is not worthy."
The previous follower hurriedly took over the words, He continued: "The funniest thing is that Miss Su actually thought this guy was some kind of young master who was in trouble, and she even took the initiative to help. Miss Su was so kind that she was deceived by this guy."
When another follower standing behind heard this, he hurriedly moved forward and agreed in a flattering tone: "That's right, who is this kid? We, Mr. Zhou, can't win even if we spend a lot of money. Miss Su smiled, why is he so stupid? In my opinion, Miss Su is not wrong at all, she simply has no vision. "
Mr. Zhou, who was originally looking very proud, suddenly turned cold when he heard this, kicked the follower on the waist, and shouted displeasedly: "Shut up!"
This The follower had a grievance expression on his face and said in confusion: "Boss, why did you hit me!"
The Master Zhou looked impatient and said: "Humph, I need a reason to hit someone. You are the one who is being beaten, Wang Xiaoshan. If you don’t know how to speak, then shut up. What nonsense are you talking about?”
The little follower named Wang Xiaoshan pleaded and defended himself: “But what I said? It's a fact. I'm just fighting for your injustice, boss." Mr. Zhou was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and immediately waved his fist and said, "Get out of here, stop being an eyesore! I'm not in a good mood today, so don't. Force me to beat you up!”
Another follower who was also dressed in high-end clothes reached out and patted Wang Xiaoshan, and said calmly: “Xiaoshan, you’d better leave quickly. Don't make our Mr. Zhou angry here."
Wang Xiaoshan was so aggrieved that he almost cried, and muttered: "Second brother, I really feel sorry for Mr. Zhou, you know. I am of the same mind as you, even my cousin..."
Hearing this, the second brother hurriedly interrupted Wang Xiaoshan and said softly: "Okay, okay, I know. We all know that you are of the same mind as us. But have you ever thought about this matter today? It’s so shameless for you to say this to Mr. Zhou. Can you say such embarrassing things openly, not to mention Miss Su? When you say this about the person Mr. Zhou is interested in, doesn’t it seem that Mr. Zhou has no discernment?”
Wang Xiaoshan had a dejected expression on his face and sighed: “I understand, second brother, alas! , I’m unlucky.”
The voices of these two people were not loud, but Xu Boan had good hearing, so he heard them clearly.
After knowing the conversation between these two people, Xu Bo'an finally understood why these people were targeting him so much.
It turns out that these people are despising and ridiculing themselves here. It turns out that the young lady’s temporary kindness to him made Mr. Zhou feel that he was being compared and lost face, so he was dissatisfied and unhappy. Got it!
Understanding these circumstances, Xu Boan was speechless for a while. He was shot while lying down.
In this life, you still have to be stronger, otherwise the weak may not be able to receive some blessings and good luck! This is what people often call "the crime of holding a bi". When you are strong enough, the crime of holding a bi will no longer exist.
In "Journey to the West", when Tang Sanzang went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, there were so many monsters and even fairy children and mythical beasts who descended to earth, all paying attention to him and thinking about him, just to eat Tang Monk's meat. Everyone knows that you can live forever.
But it is also well known that they could have waited for Tang Sanzang to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Obviously, eating the ginseng fruit of Wuzhuang Temple can lead to immortality, and even the smell of it can make people feel very happy. The good longevity-prolonging food is easier to digest than Tang Dynasty meat.
However, none of the monsters, even the fairy boys and fairy beasts with backgrounds, ever went to Wuzhuang Temple to ask Immortal Zhenyuan for ginseng fruit. However, they all invariably followed Tang Sanzang’s idea. To put it bluntly, that’s not the case. Because Zhenyuan Immortal has boundless magic power and is famous, do they all know that Zhenyuan Immortal is so powerful that they can't afford to offend him at all?
Xu Bo'an's face gradually darkened. He knew that if he remained silent, these bullies might become more unscrupulous, which would affect his ability to buy clothes and waste his time.
So, Xu Boan no longer remained silent, but said in a very pretentious manner: "Dressing up is just an external appearance, what is really important is the inner quality. Although you are gorgeously dressed, you are full of emotions on the inside. It’s so pitiful to be so shallow.”
Those rich kids were choked by Xu Boan’s words. They didn’t expect that this seemingly inconspicuous country bumpkin would dare to refute them, and he was such a disgusting person who has the moral high ground. attitude.
They suddenly felt a little angry and surrounded him, wanting to teach Xu Boan a lesson.
They originally thought that this momentum alone would scare Xu Boan into trembling. However, Xu Boan was not afraid at all. He stood there, staring at the rich kids with very indifferent eyes. After all, in Xu Boan's eyes, these people are really like ants, and this is not a metaphor.
Seeing this, these rich kids became even more angry. Just as they were about to pounce, they suddenly heard a powerful shout coming from outside the door.
"Sanyang ordered Mr. Zong Yan to arrive!"
As this voice came, there was a sudden silence in the cloth shop, and those who were noisy just now also stopped talking. , after all, the Commander-in-Chief of Shanyang is one of the top big shots in Shanyang County, and ordinary people would not dare to offend him no matter what.
The next moment, Yan Shou, dressed in military uniform, walked in with dignity.
Actually, it is a bit inappropriate to say that he is majestic. After all, Yan Shouyi's height and appearance are still a bit too... ordinary.
But it has to be said that the military uniform has this advantage. After wearing it, it will make people look more elegant. Even many appearance that used to look awkward, after wearing the military uniform They all look very stylish! Yan Shouyi is the beneficiary of this situation.
As soon as Yan Shou came in, the owner of the cloth shop who was originally accompanying Mr. Zhou and his group hurriedly came forward to greet them.
The store owner is a middle-aged man with a kind face. When he saw Yan Shouyi, he smiled like a flower: "Master Yan, oh my Master Yan, what kind of wind blows you away?" Come on! Please sit down, please sit down!”
Those rich kids who looked aggressive just now were all like obedient little sheep, with smiles that looked like flattery and obedient students, and they were just short of being awarded the title of "Three Good Students" was encouraged by the certificate of award.
Yan Shou waved his hand and said: "There is no need to sit down. I came here this time to officially take up my post in Qingmu Banner. I happened to pass by here, thinking about the local land that I had shaded here in Xishan Town before. Before I leave, I want to pull out two feet of red cloth and give it to the mountain god. Please help me pick out two good red cloths and fold them neatly."
< br>In most ordinary temples, gold and red fabrics are indispensable. It is very good for Yan Shouyi to have such a heart.
Seeing Yan Shouyi being so thoughtful, Xu Boan nodded subconsciously.
I never thought that this scene would be seen by Mr. Zhou. As soon as Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes, he immediately became confused.
