Chapter Seventy-Six: Thunder VI
Outside the city gate dozens of feet high in the inner city, Su Sheng'er took out a sign and lit it up in front of the two guards. The originally arrogant guard www.biquge.info Pen, Fun Pavilion, suddenly became humble, first apologized repeatedly, and then immediately opened the small door next to him, inviting Su Sheng'er and the two to enter, and Cai'er on the side was amazed.
Su Sheng'er didn't have too many ideas, she now knew the temperament of some people in the inner city, and she used to yearn for the life inside, but now that she saw through it, her thoughts in this area gradually faded. The people in the inner city are high-minded, looking down on the ordinary people outside, and even the guards and soldiers on duty are full of arrogance, as if they can be superior to others because they stand here, when they first came in, Su Sheng'er was also angry, but then they slowly got used to it.
Reality is full of a lot of helplessness, she now has an identity and status, but she is definitely not qualified to change these, the only thing she can do is to try not to be assimilated, so as not to end up becoming the kind of person she hated before......
"Wow, ma'am, it's so extravagant in this inner city......"
Cai'er shouted softly beside her.
Su Sheng'er smiled and nodded: "If you see something you like, just tell me, you entered my Chen family, but I haven't given you anything yet." ”
Cai'er's face was slightly red, and then a thick sense of gratitude appeared on her little face, and her voice was a little choked: "Thank you, madam, madam, you are so good to me." ”
I saw that on both sides of the spacious street, there were mansions and houses made of the most precious water stones, there were shops with gold and diamond facades, and there were also two majestic yamen with strange beasts.
The people who came and went were all people who were dressed luxuriously and elegantly, so it seemed that Su Sheng'er and the two were a little different. Although the Chen family has begun to become wealthy, Su Sheng'er still likes to make her own clothes and wear them, using ordinary fabrics, which looks extremely simple. But obviously, the families of the scholars in this inner city are also some well-cultivated people, although they often sweep at the master and servant with strange eyes, but they don't say anything, just think that they are some young lady with strange habits.
Su Sheng'er's face remained unchanged, and she walked slowly on the street with Cai'er.
"Madame, where are we going to buy something?"
"Let's go to Shandefang first, there are more things there, not far ahead. ”
"Good. ”
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, with a rumbling sound, a pale lightning bolt crossed over Ninghai City, and the sky that was originally sunny suddenly changed, and the sun was covered by dark clouds, unable to cast light, and then, the dark clouds were cast low, as if they were going to be pressed down, which made people feel depressed in their hearts.
It's going to rain.
The pedestrians on the road suddenly hurried, increased their speed, and hurried towards their destination. There are also some talented and beautiful people who are obviously prepared, but they just instructed the servants to open the paper umbrellas, and still walk around comfortably, and when they meet each other, they look at each other happily and smile, and take a walk in the rain, which is indeed a very romantic thing.
"Click!"
Another astonishing lightning bolt, the electric light preceded the roar, and Cai'er turned pale in fright.
"Husband, madam, the slave forgot to bring an umbrella......"
"It's okay, come, we're going to get to the place, let's go in and take shelter from the rain." ”
Su Sheng'er's face was also a little white, and most of the girls were afraid of thunder, but she still took Cai'er's hand and rushed to the front. After a cup of tea, I went to the front of a shop and slipped inside.
The next moment, the wind and rain came, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Ninghai City was covered under the storm, and from time to time the thunder flashed in the dark clouds, like a huge dragon, Linjia Sensen, making a sound similar to the dragon's roar, like the ancient rumors said "God is angry".
The day of June, it is really said that it will change, today's weather is a little hot and dry, so such a rain in the afternoon is actually quite cool, I believe that after the rain, this Ninghai City can be cool for a while.
Outside, the sound of rain and wind came in unison, and there was a lot of hustle and bustle, but in the shop called Shindefang, it was still calm, and even the guys were lying or sitting, as if they were enjoying a leisurely afternoon. Su Sheng'er had already started talking to the owner of the shop.
"Rare guest, rare guest, Mrs. Chen, you haven't been here for a long time. ”
An old man in a black coat walked over with a smile and said.
"Boss Ding. Su Sheng'er bowed slightly.
"Hehe, Mrs. Chen, it's not wet, this rain is coming a little hard, do you need to change it, I'll ask the maid to prepare a set of clothes." ”
"No, no, thank you Boss Ding, I was in a hurry and didn't get drenched. Boss Ding, I'm here to bother this time, I want to buy something. ”
"Oh?" Boss Ding, who was obviously very familiar with Su Sheng'er, was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What do you want?" If it's a small thing, you can say it, and I'll give it to you." ”
Su Sheng'er said: "I made a dress, and I still need a button, so I want to try to find out if there is a suitable one." ”
"Clothes, could it be made for Ah Yu?"
Su Sheng'er was slightly embarrassed and nodded slightly.
This Boss Ding is the owner of Shandefang, and he is also a well-known wealthy family in the inner city, when he got married, he also followed behind the lord of Liu's mansion and personally sent congratulatory gifts, so he treated Chen Guyu and Su Sheng'er like juniors, and he spoke with a sense of closeness.
Boss Ding understood, squinted slightly and smiled: "Ah Yu is coming back soon, right? The old man heard that this time the Ninghai Academy has earned enough face for Ninghai City at the martial arts conference in that county town." ”
"Well, it should be the past few days. ”
"Haha, good, Chen boy did a good job. Come on, you can pick and choose, I won't take any money this time, just treat it as my gift to Ah Yu. ”
"How can this be?"
Su Sheng'er was busy and wanted to refuse, these days, whether it was bright or dark, Boss Ding had helped her a lot, among which Boss Ding had a credit for the Chen family cloth workshop. These Su Sheng'er were all written down carefully, and when Chen Guyu came back, he told him one by one, this is a favor and an investment, and it must not be sloppy.
Boss Ding's gray beard trembled slightly, and he feigned anger: "Girl Su, I won't call you Mrs. Chen this time, I am your elder, a gift from the elders, how can the younger generation refuse!"
Su Sheng'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then a helpless look appeared, so she had to nod.
There are indeed a lot of buttons in Shandefang, and the buttons are also called disc buckles, which were a kind of knots woven with strips of cloth at that time, because the materials are different, so the patterns are also strange, Su Shenger tried some at home, but they were all because they were not worthy of abandoning.
This time, however, she saw the instrument buckle in the center.
This kind of buckle is named because most of the patterns are ancient musical instruments, and they are generally used by people from musical families, but Su Sheng'er naturally does not like this, but the style of the instrument.
Boss Ding's eyes lit up, and he immediately locked Su Sheng'er's gaze, and said, "Miss Su, do you fancy this?, what kind of clothes are you, the conditions for this kind of button matching are a bit harsh......"
"It's a thin blue shirt with some red cuffs......"
"Oh, that's good, this buckle is just right...... Hehe, Su girl, let me tell you, the workmanship of this button is very good, especially this bamboo wind instrument called Sheng, which is notoriously difficult to weave into ......"
Boss Ding's words paused slightly: "Wait...... I seem to understand something. ”
Su Sheng'er was full of smiles, her little face was red, she was cute, she blessed gracefully, and said happily: "Thank you Boss Ding." ”
"Haha, I see, you young people, you have a lot of emotions, alas, old and old......"
……
In the house of Shangde Fang, there is a lot of heat.
Outside, the torrential rain is pouring down, the lightning is thundering, and it has been enough time for a cup of tea, and this thunderstorm, which is usually extremely short-lived, has no intention of stopping today.
Opposite the Sin Tak Fang is a famous restaurant. The restaurant has two floors, because of the rain, the business of the restaurant is not very good at this time, and after some scattered customers leave, there is only a table on the second floor near the railing.
From that direction, you can look down on all the things in the Kindness Place.
Li Xiangqian drank another glass of wine, and his voice was a little cold: "Why don't you do it yet? Do you want to wait for her to leave? Charging into a noble person in the inner city and being directly shot dead by the patrol guards is not enough?"
The banquet was large, but only Li Xiangqian was seated, and the person he was talking to was kneeling on the ground, wearing the uniform of a Ninghai soldier.
"Young master, it's not that we don't do it, it's just that this Shande Fang is not easy to enter. The identity of the person surnamed Ding here is extraordinary, and he has a close relationship with the lord of the Liu Mansion, with him, it is not easy for us to casually place the charge, let alone kill someone......"
"The surname is Ding?"
Li Xiangqian put down the wine cup and asked lightly, "Is that the Ding Sanzong who didn't listen to my father's edict this morning?"
"Yes. He is very famous in the inner city, and everyone calls him Master Ding. ”
"Hehe, a Master Ding! No. 1, you have to remember, there can't be any mistakes in this matter, don't say anything about Master Ding and Master Sun, Su Sheng'er must die, whoever blocks it, who dies!
The soldier's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "What does the young master mean?"
He raised his head, put one hand on his neck and lightly crossed it, making an obliteration meaning.
"It's just a Ding family, you see what he means, if he is interested, he will spare his life and block his mouth, if he is self-righteous and wants to stop this matter, why kill him!"
"Understood, young master. ”
"Go ahead. ”
The soldier stood up, and the next moment, a slight force swept through him and disappeared in place.
Li Xiangqian drank alone, drunk alone, picked up and put down the wine glass, obviously, his heart was also extremely uncalm, he silently looked at Na Shandefang, and sighed softly.
The rain curtain was very dense, as if it had cut the heavens and the earth in half, the thunder roared, the wind and fog were deep, and under the layers of dark clouds, all eyes were obscured, and all suspicion would be isolated.
It's the time to kill people in the wind and rain!
