Chapter 189: Picking Ayafang
In the distance, Bi Shengjie saw a light carriage coming from the end of the long street. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The driver slowly stopped the car in front of a shop on the side of the street, looking cautious and respectful.
A familiar petite figure stepped out of the carriage. She seems to have a girl with a little childish on her face.
"That's?" He asked knowingly.
The steward sitting opposite him secretly scolded him for not having anything to say, and replied respectfully: "Yu Dongjia, that should be the fourth lady of the Shi family, the one whose name is Yuwei." ”
"Oh, is there no one in the Shi family now? Why do you want a young lady who is raised in the boudoir to come out to cook? Bi Shengjie is of course well aware of the changes in the Shi family. However, what he cares about now is the rhetoric from the outside about Shi Yuwei's appearance.
"This..."The steward showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and then when he saw Bi Shengjie's face sinking, he hurriedly said: "I heard that Master Shi was poisoned and his health is not good." The Shi family is up and down, and at present, only let this fourth lady come out. ”
"Oh!" Bi Shengjie touched his chin and nodded.
After getting out of the carriage, Shi Yuwei felt that there seemed to be a line of sight following her behind her. When I looked back, I saw that there was no one on the long street.
She came out relatively early today, and many shops on the street have not yet opened. So, there aren't many people on the street.
When the Shi family picked the silk workshop, I heard that the fourth lady Shi Yuwei was coming, and Wu Zhong, the shopkeeper, hurriedly sent his eldest apprentice Bai Xi out to greet him.
Regarding Master Shi's decision to hand over the silk picking workshop to Shi Yuwei to take care of, he was a little unimpressed.
How old is Shi Yuwei? It's just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. What can you understand? I'm afraid that I can't recognize all the clothes in the shop.
Besides, I hadn't heard of her any business talents before. However, the ability to cause trouble seems to be not small.
Wu Zhong, the shopkeeper, still has an understanding of Shi Yuwei, and he still stays in the impression of people's legends before.
It wasn't until the apprentice Bai Xi respectfully greeted a little girl that he felt his eyes light up.
is different from the image of the bright girl in the impression of wearing red and green. The girl in front of her was dressed up and looked stable and old.
However, because of her good looks, the clothes that originally looked old-fashioned just made her more calm.
Coupled with her cold eyes, it actually made Shopkeeper Wu feel a little respectful of her.
Either way, she's the owner. Moreover, Shopkeeper Wu has read countless people, so he naturally doesn't dare to be lazy about such a fourth lady.
He hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically: "I've seen Miss Four!" Little old man Wu Zhong, just happened to have new goods in the store, and he was busy handing them over. So didn't come out to greet it! Please forgive me, Miss! ”
Just got off the carriage, and the guy who stepped forward to greet him said the same thing.
Regarding the fact that the shopkeeper did not welcome him, Shi Yuwei actually didn't care much about it.
It's not that she hasn't been mixed in the workplace, and she can't get three thirds of the real skills under her hands, why should people respect you?
In her previous life, she looked down on the second ancestors who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it. Therefore, for Wu Zhong's apology, she just listened to it as a greeting.
"It's a good thing that Shopkeeper Wu is busy with things in the store! Although my father asked me to come to the store to have a look, in the end, I was young, I had passed by, I had seen little, and I still needed the guidance of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper doesn't have to be so polite! Shi Yuwei's words made Wu Zhong feel very comfortable listening to it.
This fourth young lady doesn't seem to be as proud and domineering as the legend says?
"When Mademoiselle says that, she is exalting me too much. I don't know, Miss came here today, mainly to know something? Little old man, but there is knowledge, all of them are advised! ”
Wu Zhong politely instructed his apprentice to pour tea, and at the same time introduced Shi Yuwei into an elegant room in the shop.
The elegant room was clearly used by the distinguished guests from the store, and he was not prepared to stay here for a long time.
"Miss, this is the place for guests!" Chunya was young and couldn't help but whisper in her ear.
Shi Yuwei didn't say anything but smiled, giving her a slightly calm look.
A room is a room. She should take a look at the hardware facilities in this store first.
As Shopkeeper Wu entered the elegant room, Shi Yuwei looked around, and then asked, "How many such elegant rooms are there in our silk picking workshop?" Is it all like this? ”
Wu Zhong might as well ask a question like this. He had looked around at her before, and thought she was just looking at her out of curiosity.
I couldn't help but wonder a little, but I still replied respectfully: "Even this one, there are five in total." Your one is the largest, and the lord named it Peony Pavilion. There are also peonies, hibiscus, jasmine, yueji, and impatiens. They all come according to the order. ”
"Oh!" Shi Yuwei nodded, and then sat down on the yellow rosewood chair on the side.
Looking at the snow-white pink walls on all sides, she asked a second question: "This Peony Pavilion, come to think of it, few people come in, right?" ”
Shopkeeper Wu couldn't figure out her thinking, so he had to follow her train of thought: "Yes! This is specially for entertaining the officials, wives and ladies in the yamen! However, most of their clothes were sent to pick them up, or we delivered them to their homes. So here, not much is used. ”
In fact, because of the lack of use, this place has long been a place for Master Shi and him to rest in their leisure time.
This is also his first reaction, the reason why he introduced Shi Yuwei into the Peony Pavilion.
"Hmm!" Shi Yuwei nodded when she heard this, and then said: "It's a pity that such a good place is left in vain!" ”
Pity? How can it be a pity? Isn't that what other stores do? Without this place, how can you attract the ladies of those big families to the door? Shopkeeper Wu secretly slandered himself.
Then, I heard Shi Yuwei speak: "Shopkeeper, I want to go to Fengxian Hall to have a look." ”
Shopkeeper Wu's face showed a hint of hesitation, "Miss, there are many people in the Fengxian Hall, and it is also chaotic, you better not go over, right?" In case you get bumped. The small ones can not afford to eat. ”
"It's okay, I'm not that delicate yet! I'm just going to take a look! Don't worry, no wonder you! If my aunt asks, I'll have me! ”
Shi Yuwei insisted.
Seeing Shi Yuwei say this, it was not easy for the shopkeeper Wu to stop him anymore. I had to take her personally and walk to the most lively and noisy place in the silk picking workshop.
"Shopkeeper Wu! What wind is blowing you in? You are..."Seeing that the shopkeeper Wu personally led people inside, a familiar cloth merchant greeted him. Seeing that behind the shopkeeper Wu, there was actually someone with him, and the cloth merchant showed a surprised expression on his face. (To be continued.) )
