"These two young gentlemen." Miss Ling raised her eyes and smiled slightly at Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing. "Just now, I saw this gentleman in blue choose the bolt of silver-threaded cloud brocade that the shopkeeper had put away. I wonder if the gentleman has taken a fancy to that material?"
"Indeed," Fang Duobing nodded slightly. "However, if you like it, Miss, we can simply choose another fabric. It is of no consequence."
"It's no trouble at all. I think this gentleman in green has the refined elegance of a jade, which suits that cloud-brocade material exceptionally well. Besides, my second sister won't need that much fabric to make clothes for my father, and leaving it to pile up in the storehouse would only waste such fine cloth." Miss Ling turned and said gently to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, let the two gentlemen have that bolt of cloud brocade from the shop."
