It was noon in the inner circle of Wushan Village.
The Luoyuan Chamber of Commerce's fabric shop was crowded with people.
"These clothes are so beautiful!"
"Why haven't I seen this style in the catalog?"
"Clothes as beautiful as a fairy's, I want them too."
Everyone admired the three Hanfu hanging in the shop, their eyes filled with envy.
At this moment, a fair-skinned young man in his early twenties approached, followed by two burly men in sturdy attire.
Seeing the crowd gathered around the fabric shop, the fair-skinned young man raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity appearing on his face.
"Young Master Zhu Linyi is here, get out of the way, you rabble!" shouted one of the burly men behind him.
At the words, the crowd scattered as if fleeing from tigers and leopards.
The Zhu Family were the de facto rulers of Wushan Village, and no one here dared to offend them.
Zhu Linyi, in particular, was known for his capricious and overbearing nature, acting like a tyrant in Wushan Village, and everyone feared him greatly.
Zhu Linyi, holding a folding fan, looked at the three Hanfu in the shop and his eyes immediately lit up.
The style and colors of these clothes were exquisite, and their style was gentle and beautiful, making them even more alluring when worn by women.
He kept many female companions at home, and if they were to wear these clothes during their leisure time, it would be unimaginably delightful...
With this thought, Zhu Linyi instructed the burly men behind him, "Buy these three and take them away!"
"Yes, Young Master!" The burly men replied respectfully, turned, and strode towards the fabric shop.
"Shopkeeper, how much for these three? I'll take them all!" the burly man said.
Hearing this, a female attendant came forward, a look of apology on her face. "I'm sorry, customer, these three items have already been reserved by another customer. If you need them, we can make them for you."
"Reserved?" the burly man frowned.
He knew his young master Zhu Linyi's personality well; he always got what he wanted. If he couldn't buy these three clothes, he wouldn't be able to report back.
"How much did the person who reserved them pay? I'll pay three times that!" the burly man said, displeased.
"I'm sorry, that's still not possible!" the female attendant said with a smile.
"What?" The burly man's expression changed, and he threatened, "Do you know that our Young Master Zhu Linyi wants them? You'll face consequences if you offend me!"
"I'm sorry, the Luoyuan Chamber of Commerce has its own rules. If you really need them, you'll have to wait until tomorrow!" the female attendant replied, shaking her head.
As for the man's threats, the attendant sneered inwardly. Wushan Village was just a small place to her, and the so-called young masters and families here were nothing but country bumpkins in her eyes.
"Hmph!" The burly man was almost enraged but did not act out. He turned and left.
"Huh? What's going on?" Zhu Linyi asked, displeased to see the burly man return empty-handed.
"Young Master, they said those three clothes were reserved by someone else and refused to sell them to us, no matter what," the burly man explained.
Slap!
A handprint appeared on the burly man's face.
"Useless!" Zhu Linyi cursed.
The burly man lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"I'd like to see who in Wushan Village dares to disrespect me!" Zhu Linyi flicked his arm, returned to the fabric shop, with the two burly men following closely behind.
The people who had been browsing nearby were drawn by the commotion and gathered to watch the spectacle.
These busybodies were happy to see a conflict between the Zhu Family and the Luoyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Zhu Linyi arrived at the fabric shop and declared loudly, "I, Zhu Linyi, will buy all these clothes and fabrics!"
As soon as he said this, the onlookers outside gasped.
The female attendant heard him and asked, "Does the young master speak truthfully?"
"Of course, but I have one small request." Zhu Linyi raised his arm and pointed at the three Hanfu, "I want to take these three clothes with me as well!"
"I'm sorry, these three are not possible!" the female attendant shook her head. "If the young master wants them, he will have to wait until tomorrow."
"Hmph!" Zhu Linyi snorted and said, "What I, Zhu Linyi, want, I must have today!"
A burly man brought a chair, and Zhu Linyi sat down directly, gently fanning himself with his folding fan, looking relaxed.
Zhu Linyi was not foolish enough to oppose the Luoyuan Chamber of Commerce. He was waiting for the person who had ordered these clothes to appear.
In Wushan Village, no one dared to offend him.
Therefore, Zhu Linyi believed that as soon as the person who had ordered the clothes appeared, they would undoubtedly hand over the clothes willingly.
The female attendant frowned slightly but dared not say more.
An hour later, Wei Fan, carrying a Wild Goose Wing Saber on his back, appeared at the entrance of the fabric shop.
"Welcome, customer!" the female attendant greeted him with a smile.
At the same time, Zhu Linyi shot him an unfriendly glance, and Wei Fan, with his keen senses, naturally perceived it.
Without overthinking it, Wei Fan took out a bag of silver fragments, intending to retrieve the clothes he had custom-ordered for Wei Yingying. Just then, the female attendant whispered, "Miss Liu Yin of the Chamber of Commerce requests your presence. Please, guest, come inside to sit."
"She wants me to come inside and sit?" Wei Fan was a bit surprised. He had only ordered a few clothes; what was this Chamber of Commerce lady up to?
However, Wei Fan also intended to gather information from the Luoyuan Chamber of Commerce, so he nodded and said, "Lead the way!"
Under the female attendant's guidance, Wei Fan arrived in front of a carriage.
"Guest, the young lady is waiting for you inside," the attendant said before retreating on her own.
Wei Fan glanced at the silver-inlaid carriage and thought to himself, Isn't this the same one I saw yesterday?
It seemed to have a woman as beautiful as a celestial being sitting inside.
Could she be the young lady of the Chamber of Commerce?
With such questions, Wei Fan entered the carriage.
