Chapter 22: The Mysterious Helper
"This is the largest golden building in Jiangnan?" Standing in front of the Gilded Pavilion, Tang Ruyu's little head shook, "In our Shu, such golden buildings can be seen everywhere. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "I heard that the Bai family has the largest golden building in the south of the Yangtze River, she pestered Bai Qianqian to take her to open her eyes, what to say that she went to Jiangnan this trip, and if she didn't look at the wealth of Jiangnan, she would regret it for the rest of her life."
Broken Yu didn't believe it, "Miss Tang, the gilded pavilion has three layers, thousands of gold and silver beads, and more than 100 craftsmen and men, how can such a golden building be seen everywhere." "There are two well-known golden buildings in Jiangnan, one of which is this gilded pavilion and the other is the golden jade hall.
Jin Yutang's three generations of imperial businessmen are extraordinary. Three years ago, the old hall master Yu Zhimen died, and passed the golden hall to his youngest daughter Yu Qianjiao. In order to compete for the position of the hall master, several of Yu Qianjiao's brothers tried their best to even invite people from the Yama Hall to make a move on their little sister, and Jin Yutang's business plummeted.
"You don't believe what I'm saying? Broken jade girl, your courage is getting bigger and bigger. Tang Ruyu turned her head to look at Bai Qianqian, and found that she was staring at the plaque of the "Gilded Pavilion" in a daze, "Little cousin, what's wrong?" ”
Bai Qianqian came back to his senses, and there was a thick sadness hidden between his eyebrows, "It's okay." ”
The gilded pavilion is the first family property purchased by the mother after marrying into the Bai family, and it was also in this year that my father fell in love at first sight with Ge Mianmian who came to buy pearl hairpins in the store. Ironically, my mother didn't know anything about this, and she was busy all day long, personally teaching the craftsmen she invited how to polish jade and how to carve patterns and patterns.
It wasn't until Ge Mianmian appeared in the Bai family's compound with a big belly that her mother was shocked to realize that the man who swore to take care of her for the rest of her life was also gentle and considerate to another woman. There was no anger, no joy or sorrow, not even any expression, the mother just locked herself in the room without eating or drinking. A day later, she appeared in the study and agreed that her father would marry Ge Mianmian into the door.
These old things were learned by Bai Qianqian from the old people in the compound many years ago. At that time, Ge had just become the wife of the Bai family, and the subordinates had to talk nonsense behind their backs. Later, Ge quickly stood firm and won the approval of Mrs. Bai, and the subordinates no longer dared to chew the root of their tongue. In her previous life, she was too cowardly and didn't dare to resist at all, but she was blinded by the hypocrisy of Bai Changqing and Ge.
The gilded pavilion is richly decorated, all the vermilion display cabinets, the delicate ornaments on the counter are placed on the pure white dark flower velvet cloth, step shake, hairpin, flower day, Huasheng...... One by one, the same, the gold and jade are shining, and the brilliance is shining. Merchants came and went, and the shopkeeper Wang's round face smiled.
"Little cousin, look!" Coming to the second floor, Tang Ruyu fell in love with the Xiuyu hairpin sunflower jade tassel placed in the center at a glance, the jade is an old jade, rare yellow-white, warm and transparent; The sunflower has a total of seven petals, red, orange, blue, blue, and purple, all of which are high-quality jadeite.
"Shopkeeper, how much silver is shaken at this step?" Tang Ruyu asked.
Shopkeeper Wang glanced at the costumes of several people, not like a rich family at all, but he has been in the mall for many years, proficient in the way of business, everything is valued by harmony, and the smile on his face was slightly closed, "This girl really has a vision, this sunflower tassel is the treasure of the store, one thousand taels of silver." ”
"A thousand taels? So expensive? "Tang Ruyu really likes the sunflower jade tassel to shake, but she is really shy in her pocket. If she is in Shu, one thousand taels is not a large amount for her, but she is in Liyue City at this moment, and her money bag is stolen, and she meets her little cousin who is also destitute. "Shopkeeper, can you—" she thought, "Can you keep it for me, and in a little time I will come and get it with all the money."
Before the second half of the sentence could be spoken, a coquettish voice was heard from behind him, "Shopkeeper Wang, you are really getting more and more clumsy, do they look like people who can afford to pay a thousand taels of silver?" Besides, this sunflower jade tassel step shake is designed by my sister herself, so it should be left to my sister, you say, isn't it? ”
Bai Raorao dressed up in a fancy way and appeared in the Gilded Pavilion, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Everyone said that the Bai family's daughters were like flowers and jade, and it was true today.
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly greeted him, "The little lady has learned a lesson, so I will pack the sunflower jade tassel and send it to the eldest lady." I also hope that the little lady will say a few kind words in front of the eldest lady, I was confused for a while, so I put the jewelry designed by the eldest lady on the counter for sale. "To be honest, it's no wonder he, most of the ornaments in this pavilion are designed by the eldest lady, don't all the ornaments have to be sent to the eldest lady?!
"Are you the third lady of the Bai family?" Tang Ruyu is in the Tang Gate, that is the successor of the master of the stars holding the moon, how could he have been ridiculed like this, put away his usual laughter, and his face exuded a dangerous aura.
Bai Qianqian knows that some people are going to be unlucky. "Miss, do you want to persuade Miss Tang." Broken Jade reminded with laughter. Bai Qianqian shook his head. Today, not only Tang Ruyu wants to make a move, but she also wants to make a move. She must uncover the true face of the Bai family and the Ge family before her cousin arrives at the Bai family.
"Yo! Are you the famous Tang girl? "Tang Ruyu stayed in the compound, Bai Raorao had already heard about it, "Everyone comes to comment, this Tang girl is unknown, I don't know where she comes from, she has to rely on our house to eat and drink for nothing, is such a person faceless and skinless?" ”
"Eat and drink for nothing?" Tang Ruyu sneered, "If you talk about it, everyone in the Bai family is eating and drinking for nothing. ”
"What do you mean? Our Bai family started from scratch and worked hard to build this gilded pavilion, how can we eat and drink for nothing? You uneducated girl, don't think about playing right and wrong here. Bai Raorao said to the king's shopkeeper, "Don't hurry up and kick them out." ”
"Yes." Shopkeeper Wang beckoned to a few men around him, "Blasting them out, from now on, they are not allowed to approach the Gilded Pavilion for half a step." ”
Several guys rushed up, and were about to make a move, when a gust of palm wind struck. The men were shaken out of the way and fell heavily to the ground, all of them pale and spitting blood. "Ahh Suddenly, there was a commotion in the Gilded Pavilion, with shouts, running sounds, and collisions endlessly.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Shopkeeper Wang immediately reacted, and today he met a master of the rivers and lakes, so he had to lower his posture and calm down, "If Wang does something wrong and offends Your Excellency, I hope that Your Excellency will spare Wang this time." The shopkeeper waited for a long time, raised his head and looked around, where was there any trace of strangers?!
