Report

After a while, the clothes in the shop were designed with samples.

The staff member took the tablet and walked in front of Ling Ping'an.

"Young master, these are the styles tailored for you..." he said with a smile, "Take a look, which ones do you like?"

Ling Ping'an took the tablet and looked at it.

There were more than a dozen designs on it.

The styles were all different.

There were ancient styles, modern styles, Nanzhou styles, and Beizhou styles.

There were even some fancy designs.

But you don't say, they're all pretty good looking.

The key was that they could choose their own colors and match them themselves.

For a moment, Ling Ping'an was dazzled.

He sighed in his heart, "If only the clothing stores outside were like this... How great would that be!"

He directly took out the design and matched it himself. The goods would arrive in four hours.

Was this the shopping in the imperial capital?

Ling Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, "Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves!"

However, he didn't know that if it was another person here, they would probably only see a design.

This kind of place was very particular about style.

To ordinary consumers, their attitude had always been: If you want to buy, buy. If not, get lost!

Ling Ping'an thought about it and quickly shook his head in his heart. He became extremely vigilant about this, "The degenerate trap of consumerism... Hmph, I won't fall for such a evil trick!"

Ling Ping'an didn't even want to top up the game company's first charge gift bag.

Not to mention this kind of obvious consumer trap?

Immediately, he began to think of an excuse.

After all...

Auntie's money was also money.

It was also earned by her hard work.

It wasn't from a strong wind.

Moreover, he, Ling Ping'an, had hands and feet. Why should he spend his auntie's money?

All these years, Ling Ping'an had never made a mistake when it came to money.

"Miss Chu..." Ling Ping'an put down the tablet and asked, "Why isn't there a price on it?"

Chu Weiwei smiled and said, "Young master Ling, you don't know this. This shop is specially connected to our 'Ancient Culture Research Institute'... So... the design is free. Even the clothes are only collected at cost price..."

"Is that so?" Ling Ping'an blinked in disbelief.

How could there be such a good thing?

He wasn't a three-year-old child!

Chu Weiwei chuckled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Hu..."

"Bianque Hospital also has a shop here that specializes in connecting..."

"Selling it to outsiders would naturally fetch a sky-high price, but for internal consumption, it's practically free!"

Hu Nuonuo looked at Chu Weiwei and nodded cooperatively. "Young Master, Miss Chu is right!"

This was the truth!

The eighth floor of the Renyi Building and a few other similar places were originally run by the Blackguard.

It was very cheap to get goods from within the Blackguard.

It could be considered an internal benefit.

Of course, if an outsider wanted to come, not only would they have to verify their qualifications, they would also have to pay a huge sum of money and spend a lot of money!

Even so, the capital of the outside world was still scrambling for it.

In the future, spending money here would be seen as a symbol of one's status and class.

However, Hu Nuonuo did not have good intentions.

She moved closer to Ling Ping'an and looked at the design on the tablet.

Then, he laughed, "Only a dozen design drawings …"

"There really aren't many customers in this shop …"

"Young Master, why don't Nuo Nuo take you to the Bianque Hospital's shop to buy …"

"There are at least dozens of designs over there for you to choose from!"

Chu Weiwei's eyes dimmed, but she remained calm and collected. "Young Master Ling, my shop's design drawings are a little lacking … but they are all from famous masters …"

Ling Ping'an looked at the two of them as if they were about to quarrel again.

He quickly waved his hand and said in an indisputable tone, "Alright! Alright! "

"I really don't have any requirements for clothes …"

This was the truth!

To Ling Ping'an, clothes were meant to be worn, and games were meant to be played.

Therefore, as long as he could wear it, it was fine as long as it was fun.

Just like delicious food, it was enough as long as it was delicious.

Who cared if he was a roadside stall or a chef from a five-star hotel?

To be honest, Ling Ping'an actually felt that the dishes made by a chef from a five-star hotel were not as delicious as the roadside stalls.

For example, he had once eaten the stinky tofu made by that foreign refugee. It was very delicious!

He had also eaten the takeout from Little Ke's midnight snack. It was delicious!

There was also the takeout from the Chiba family. It was economical, affordable, and delicious.

In terms of taste, it could instantly kill those so-called hotel food!

For the same reason, clothes were the same.

As he said these words, the kitten that Ling Ping'an had been holding in his arms also took the opportunity to come out and make its presence known.

Meow!

The little guy meowed softly.

It was a little proud!

Chu Weiwei and Hu Nuonuo looked at Ling Ping'an's expression.

At this moment, Ling Ping'an's expression was resolute. There was a faint light in his eyes. His figure, which was sitting on the spot, suddenly grew taller.

It was filled with majesty and holiness. Endless pressure surged from all directions toward the two women.

This made Chu Weiwei and Hu Nuonuo immediately come to a realization.

Especially Chu Weiwei!

She remembered that this Young Master Ling in front of her was not an ordinary man, nor was he the 'ordinary person' that she had thought at first.

Instead, he was an unfathomable and incomparably powerful senior who even toyed with the Realm of Nightmare in the palm of his hand. He could go as he pleased and not go as he pleased!

Why would such a person care about the things here?

One had to know that the generals of the Blackguard never came to such a place.

It was degrading for generals to come to such a place.

And this young master's strength was more than just that of a general?

Even the commander-in-chief had to treat him seriously!

Therefore...

To him, the views and values of the secular world were nothing more than mediocre.

Just as the ancients said: The mountain was not high, it was famous with immortals. The water was not deep, it was spirit with dragons!

At Young Master Ling's level of strength, did he still need external things to show and elevate him?

There was no need.

On the other hand, he should be the one to give value to external objects.

Just like the cloth worn by Taizu in the Imperial Capital Museum. It was made of coarse cloth, but because it was worn by Taizu, it was a national treasure!

Thus, Chu Weiwei understood that she had been rash.

He almost violated Young Master Ling's taboo.

She lowered her head and admitted her mistake honestly, "Young Master Ling, I was wrong!"

Yes, she was wrong, very wrong!

It was a mistake to look at it from a secular point of view, and it was also a mistake to judge it with secular values!

Didn't you see that Young Master Ling had always been so frugal and simple?

Chu Weiwei recalled the Tao Te Ching that Ling Ping'an had recited on the way here.

Thus, she understood!

If you can't see it, it's called Yi. If you can't hear it, it's called Xi. If you can't fight it, it's called Wei.

There was Quanzhen, which talked about tranquility and inaction. There was nothing one would not do.

Virtuous eminent monks preached about beauties and bones, everything was empty.

Chu Weiwei immediately felt ashamed.

She deeply felt that her realm was still too low.

Hu Nuonuo immediately came to a realization.

She lowered her head deeply and said, "Young Master, Nuonuo is wrong!"

As a servant and maid, how could she be presumptuous in front of her master?

Ling Ping'an looked at the two women and immediately lowered his head to apologize.

He scratched his head, feeling a little baffled.

He could still understand Hu Nuonuo's words.

It was feudal!

But what was wrong with Chu Weiwei?

Did he say anything harsh?

In order to resolve the awkwardness, Ling Ping'an could only pick up the tablet and say, "Okay, okay... I'll buy two!"

He casually drew a tick on the two styles that he found pleasing to the eye.

Then, he handed the tablet to the staff member who was already dumbfounded, "Sorry to trouble you!"

He stood up and asked, "How much?"

He was about to pick up his phone to pay.

At the same time, his heart ached a little, but there was nothing he could do!

Chu Weiwei was his aunt's colleague. If the relationship was ruined, his aunt would be the one who would be embarrassed in the future.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and pray that the prices of the clothes here were not too expensive. He could only hope that it was as Chu Weiwei had said, that they were partners of the unit and could have an internal discount.

The staff member took the tablet and finally reacted.

"Customer..." he looked at Chu Weiwei and said with a smile, "This small shop is a partner of your unit..."

"So... as long as you pay the cost price!"

"Give me two thousand yuan!" He chuckled.

But his heart was already bleeding.

Two thousand yuan?

It was not even enough for a needle and thread!

But he had no choice. The Eldest Miss was here. He could only bite the bullet and lie against his conscience.

At the same time, he could also see through it.

This customer probably had a big background.

His eyesight was not bad.

Although he could not see the depth of this customer, the medical cultivator who chased after him was clearly a colonel!

Judging from his age and appearance, he should be the medical cultivator who was currently in the limelight in the imperial capital.

Even such a person had to curry favor with this person.

This person's status and background were probably not simple.

So...

He directly gave a price that could be said to be a jumping price.

Ling Ping'an listened and moved his lips.

"Two thousand?" He thought to himself, "That seems reasonable..."

After all, this was the imperial capital.

But...

"I've never spent so much money on clothes in my life!"

When he was young, his parents didn't count.

His parents had always been extravagant when it came to shopping.

The clothes he wore in his childhood were all branded and custom-made suits.

But after his parents passed away, he had to support himself, so he began to be meticulous.

All along, clothes had been bought on sale.

Usually, it was 99 yuan a piece.

Just like now, a set cost a thousand yuan?

It was enough for him to spend on clothes for the past quarter.

But there was no other way!

He could only pretend to be fat and take out his phone in pain.

But he was stopped by Hu Nuonuo.

"Young master..." Hu Nuonuo smiled and said, "I should have been the one to bear your expenses when you came to the imperial capital..."

"Otherwise, if my grandmother finds out, she will scold me for not knowing my manners..."

Ling Ping'an smiled and said, "Miss Hu, it's fine if you don't tell Grandma Hu..."

It was impossible for him to live off a woman in this lifetime!

Moreover, the Ling family and the Hu family had long broken away from the so-called vassal relationship.

He, Ling Ping'an, no longer had the ability to provide any protection or shelter to the Hu family.

It was already good enough that he could protect himself and take care of himself.

Ling Ping'an had a clear understanding of this!

He knew it when he was ten years old.

Everything in this world had already been secretly marked with a price.

Even if he owed anything, he shouldn't owe anyone a favor!

"How can I do that?" Hu Nuonuo shook her head firmly, "If you don't let me pay the bill..."

Her eyes turned red.

However, Chu Weiwei was already one step ahead. She took out the bank card that Li An'an had given her and threw it to the staff member, "Take it and swipe it!"

Then, she looked at Hu Nuonuo proudly and said, "Young Master Ling, the captain has already arranged everything!"

"You don't have to worry about any expenses!"

The staff member took the bank card and immediately knew that it was a high-level card within the Blackguard.

Moreover, it was issued by the general.

This kind of card had a credit limit of up to 100 million yuan in the entire Federal Empire.

It was something that only the high-ranking members and core members of the Blackguard could have.

He immediately became excited.

He knew that his judgment was correct.

Hu Nuonuo listened, but she couldn't help but look at Chu Weiwei.

It wasn't easy for her to have a chance to express her loyalty to the young master, but it was destroyed by someone.

However, she couldn't get angry.

After all, she was just a servant girl.

The memories in her bloodline told her that she had to obey.

Moreover, she had to get rid of all emotions that she shouldn't have towards the young master.

Especially 'jealousy'.

This wasn't an emotion that a servant girl should have!

She had no choice but to smile and say, "Young master..."

"Only two clothes... It's not enough, right?"

"Nuonuo will take you to Bian Que Clothing Store..."

"There's still some free shopping quota there!"

"You must give Nuonuo this chance... Otherwise, if my grandmother finds out, she will scold me!"

As she said that, she looked at Ling Ping'an pitifully.

Although Ling Ping'an had face blindness and couldn't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, he couldn't remember the appearance of those people who didn't put in the effort to remember.

But...

He could still tell the difference between expressions.

After all, even if it was a cat or dog, the owner could tell whether it was happy or unhappy.

Therefore, when he looked at Hu Nuonuo's appearance, he thought of the relationship between the Ling and Hu families.

He sighed, "Alright!"

He understood that if he refused again, he would probably be pretentious.

But...

As a gentleman, he didn't want to owe people anything. Therefore, he said to Hu Nuonuo, "Miss Hu... let's make this clear..."

"You gave me something today. Next time, I'll give you something too. You can't refuse!"

Coincidentally, there seemed to be a few sets of medical books in the bookstore at home?

Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, Plain Questions, and so on.

In any case, these ancient books were useless. It was better to give them to people and doctors. It could be considered as making the best use of them.

Hu Nuonuo was extremely happy when she heard that, "How could I dare to refuse a gift from the young master?"

The more things the young master gave, the better!

Because the more rewards, the more satisfied the young master was with her performance. This way, the more her bloodline would awaken and the better she would be to serve the young master.

At this time, Chu Weiwei had already paid the bill and returned.

Ling Ping'an looked at her, thought for a moment, and sent out an invitation, "Miss Chu, the next time you come to Jiang City, I'll cook for you!"

"Take it as a thank you for your hard work today!"

In any case, if he returned the two thousand yuan he spent today to his aunt, she definitely wouldn't want it.

Therefore, it was better to use it as a food fund! ,

Together with the three thousand yuan from last time, it was a budget of five thousand yuan.

It was enough to buy a lot!

The two of them definitely wouldn't be able to finish it. Wouldn't it be great if they called a few more people and everyone had a happy meal together?

Chu Weiwei's eyes lit up when she heard that, "Really?"

This almighty's food was not only delicious but also had endless benefits!

Even the commander-in-chief was full of praise!

"Of course!" Ling Ping'an laughed. He also sent an invitation to Hu Nuonuo, "When the time comes, Miss Hu can come too!"

Hu Nuonuo immediately lowered her head, "Yes!"

Ling Ping'an shook his head.

… …

Thus, four hours later, Ling Ping'an's left and right hands were already full of shopping bags.

At the same time, the clothes and shoes on his body had also been changed.

A set of trendy cashmere trousers fitted him quite well.

He reached out to touch the material and it was quite real!

It was just that the price was expensive!

A set of one thousand yuan!

It was worth his clothes for the past season!

Walking out of the Renyi Building, Ling Ping'an looked at the time. It was already half past one in the afternoon.

Thus, he suggested, "Miss Hu, Miss Chu, thank you for taking me shopping today!"

"How about this... I'll treat the two of you to a simple meal!"

He raised his head and saw a restaurant opposite him with a billboard.

"Let's go there!"

"Gentleman's Restaurant!"

It just so happened that he had never eaten in a restaurant in the imperial capital.

And the name of the restaurant was very pleasing to him.

Gentleman's Restaurant!

It was the place where a gentleman should go!

"Nuonuo will listen to you, young master!" Hu Nuonuo said.

Chu Weiwei also nodded, "Me too!"

"But... Young Master Ling..." Chu Weiwei smiled and said, "Weiwei grew up in the imperial capital... Weiwei is considered a host in the imperial capital... Weiwei should treat you this meal!"

She smiled and said, "It just so happens that I was in Jiangcheng City last time. Thank you for your hospitality, young master..."

"You have to give me a chance to return the favor!"

Chu Weiwei could be considered to have grasped Ling Ping'an's weakness.
