99. Knowing the old man in a foreign land
"Shopkeeper, how much silver does your Hangzhou silk cost in good condition?"
Xu Huozi is burying his head in sorting out the accounts, and he has taken the purchase list of these days to remit the total, so that the eldest lady can look convenient. Hearing that there was business coming to the door, he stood up and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper goes out to do business, and the small one is the account room, and the girl looks at the one she likes and tells me the same." Immediately I saw the woman pointing to a batch of moon-white Hangzhou silk, which was the goods that a muddy donkey had just come in from the dock before, because the goods were very good and the price was expensive, so they only asked for a few days, and the goods had not yet been shipped.
"The girl has a good eye, this is a good Hangzhou silk, there is no such good thing in the whole capital, and the price is fair, only five dollars and a foot of silver." Xu Huozi quoted the price in his heart, but he was afraid that people would leave after hearing this, and looked at it with blank eyes.
"Wrap me everything on your cabinet, count the money, and I'll settle the bill." The woman waved her hand indifferently, and then went to look at the other silk satins.
Unexpectedly, such a big master came, Xu Huozi was a little ecstatic, so he looked at the person carefully. I saw that he was wearing a moon-white hydrangea Xuanyuaner gown, a silver-red pleated skirt, a green and yellow silk tie around his waist, and a loose bow. The white jade hairpin was buttoned up in a bun at the back of her head, and the green silk of the crow hung down behind her shoulders like water. On weekdays, I only think that my master is a unique beauty in the world, and today I saw Zhong Lingyuxiu, who knew the creator of Fangzhi, in the capital.
"If you don't settle accounts again, is it a false report, and there is no goods?"
"How dare you, the small shop buys and sells in good faith. There is no girl to say, drink a cup of tea in the house, and let the small Zhang Luo be fine immediately. ”
The woman smiled knowingly, and without waiting for Xu Huozi to give way, she had already walked straight to the backyard. "You're busy with your going, I'll take a look."
Xu Huozi was immediately dumbfounded, what did you say, the eldest lady was resting, if it was disturbed, it would not be good. Then he went inside, "Sit in the girl's room." I'll have someone make you tea. ”
Xu Huozi followed tightly. Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly turned around, only to see a snake-like monster in her hand spitting out of her hand, which frightened him so much that he couldn't dodge and almost fell on his back.
"Hahahaha." A silver bell-like laugh came from the woman's mouth. It's also thanks to her for being so bold. Committing murder in other people's homes and laughing so unscrupulously.
"Sister Pearl. You're naughty again, and you help with abuse. "Xi En stood up to the door, wearing a goose-yellow smoke-veil dress. Knee-length, leggings underneath soft leather white boots. The sideburns are only tied with a yellow ribbon in a bun, a golden hairpin is inserted, and the two East Beads in the ears are the most eye-catching ornaments. Because he had just slept soundly, his face was hazy like spring, his bright eyes were bent, his nose was creamy, and his lips were applied to Zhu, revealing two looming pear vortices smiling at Mo Zhuer.
"Sister Bai, I haven't seen you for many days, my little sister is polite." Mo Zhu'er restrained her smile, bowed slightly, and looked like a lady.
Xi En shook his head, "No courtesy, be polite to my minions next time, look at you who else will work for them!" ”
Only then did Mo Zhu'er show his true colors, and took a few steps forward to grab Xi'en's wrist, and when he looked back at Xu Huozi, he stopped and looked at the two of them in distraction.
"Look at your bear-like appearance, and you will laugh at me after watching it?" The muddy donkey robbed by fire, grinning his teeth and sneering at Xu Huozi to steal fun.
For a while, the two of them sat down in the room, and Qingying offered tea, and tasted the tea without saying anything.
Only then did the muddy donkey follow up and salute, "Master, the Bai family is looking for you all over the city, and I'm afraid they will find us here soon." ”
Xi En blew the jasmine flowers in the cup and smiled bitterly, "Liu Si is really a smart person, he knows the truth that the first strike is strong, I want to find a clean place to enjoy it for a few days." ”
"Sister is talking about the person who poisoned you in the old store of the Wu family outside the city?"
Xi'en's eyes lit up, "What kind of immortal is my Dao to bless me, a hard-working person, it turned out to be a Nine Heavens Holy Maiden Yaochi Immortal Gu, I really should thank you." As he spoke, he was about to get up and salute, but was supported by Mo Zhu'er, "Sister, this is going to torture Zhu'er, although Zhu'er has a brother, it is not good, I treat you like a sister, between you and my sisters, don't do this." ”
"You treat me as my sister, and I will bear it, and now my sister asks you, Fengze is thousands of miles away from the capital, why are you here alone, what is the relationship between you?" Xi En held Mo Zhu'er's hand and asked with concern.
"Alas!" Without saying a word, Mo Zhu'er sighed deeply first, and as the tears rolled down from a pink face, the pear blossoms brought rain and another beautiful face.
Seeing that the two had something to say, the muddy donkey retreated in interest and closed the door casually so as not to be disturbed.
Mo Zhu'er then told the story, "I don't say anything about the Mo family, and my sister probably knows about it." Right now, my father is bedridden after a stroke, just like a dead man. The eldest brother was in charge of the Mo family's industry, but he was a greedy man, so he expanded and expanded the shop, and Zhuangzi even bought all the fields on the outskirts of the city. Now I want to work with people in the capital and find an official and a half-position to win glory for my ancestors. Speaking of this, Mo Zhu'er's eyes widened, and he said hatefully, "Where is he for the ancestors of the Mo family, but he is actually his own wolf ambition, and he also wants to learn from Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li." ”
"What does this have to do with you, you are just a girl's family, and if you have to carefully find a compatible in-law to marry, it won't hinder him." Xi En guessed that this was also what she was most concerned about, and according to the situation in front of her, her suspicions might be reasonable.
Sure enough, Mo Zhu'er only shed tears at first, but at this time, she couldn't suppress it, and she cried bitterly on the table.
Xi'en didn't care about her, she just let her vent her inner sorrow. From him to himself, they are all glorious and wealthy families, with ill-fated fate, which can be described as the same end. Things hurt like that, and they can't help but be sad.
Mo Zhu'er was tired of crying for a while, so she wiped her tears and sighed, "Sister, do you remember the prince who stayed at my house?" ”
"You're talking about the sixth prince, Liu Heng?" Xi En tilted her head and wondered, "What does this have to do with him?" ”
"Exactly, you were trying to deliver the princess at the beginning, this is your kindness, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to my Mo family." Mo Zhu'er slowed down and said quietly, "Afterwards, my eldest brother sent letters to the capital, set up relationships, and the six princes naturally accepted it, and after coming and going, the two families had a friendship." My brother was especially afraid of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, so he somehow gave me to the sixth prince as a concubine. I went to Beijing this time to get married.
