Chapter 120: A Chance Encounter
Shen Mei was stunned when asked, didn't the eldest sister want to buy it herself? How do you ask her what she likes? On the other side, the lady who sells rouge was also shocked, she looked at the clothes of these two little ladies and knew that the two families would not be rich, but she didn't expect this lady holding the child to choose the most expensive one, speaking of which, looking at the way this lady chose rouge, she knew that the other party must be very familiar with rouge, but the other little lady next to her was a little cringe.
"If you like it, pick a box and go back, anyway, you're about to run it, so I'll be a gift for you as an adult from my eldest sister." Shen Lan spoke generously, anyway, she didn't lack a few dollars of silver, since Shen Mei liked it, she would buy it for her.
"Eldest sister, it's too expensive, if you really want to buy it for me, I'll choose the cheap one." Shen Mei was a little frightened.
"Do you prefer red or water?" Shen Lan was too lazy to ink with her, anyway, there were only two colors in total, Shen Mei hesitated and said, "Red." ”
Shen Lan was stunned, red? This girl is bold, red is difficult for ordinary people to line out, but the Shen sisters are all white-skinned, if they are painted in red, they are really a little beauty embryo with red lips and white teeth, but will it be too ostentatious?
"It's still water red, that color is too bright, you can't hold it down at a young age." Shen Lan directly denied it, what kind of vision, in Shen Lan's own time, few people used red lipstick.
"Oh." Shen Mei didn't really know about it, so she felt that the color red was festive, so she chose it.
"Just get me a box of water red." Shen Lan commanded, and at the same time reached out to hold the child's hand and touched a silver horn in the sleeve, which was a silver horn of one or two.
The lady who sold rouge immediately took it happily, and then hurriedly took out a box of the most expensive water red rouge from the drawer and handed it to Shen Lan, for fear that she would regret it: "The lady has a good eye, and the little lady has white skin." The most is lined with this color, which looks as good as the peach blossoms in March. ”
Shen Mei was not very embarrassed to be praised, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her eldest sister who spent so much money, so her face couldn't help but turn red.
"Eldest sister, forget it, a box of rouge costs three dollars of silver. It's also too expensive. "Take advantage of the gap between that lady and the rouge to find silver. Shen Mei pulled Shen Lan's clothes and whispered.
Shen Lan glanced at her and replied, "The money has been given, and you still regret it." Take it, it's not that the eldest sister can't afford it. ”
Shen Mei persuaded a few more words, but Shen Lan was unmoved, and finally Shen Mei was so anxious that Shen Mei shed tears. It's a pity that the rouge has been handed over to Shen Lan, and even the silver has been found. And Shen Lan directly hugged the child and left, completely disobedient, and Shen Mei was also very helpless.
"Song family lady, Song family lady......" Shen Lan and Shen Mei were in the mood for shopping. Suddenly hearing someone shouting, Shen Lan didn't think it was calling herself, so she didn't stop. I waited until someone pulled me to look back. Immediately, he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Xiang, are you also here to go shopping?" ”
Brother Xiang didn't say yes or no, but complained: "Song Niangzi, why don't you keep shouting?" I'll see you from afar. ”
Hearing this, Shen Lan hurriedly apologized: "I was negligent, I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, by the way, what is the little brother looking for me?" ”
Brother Xiang glanced at the child in Shen Lan's arms and Shen Mei who was standing on the side, so he smiled and said: "This is the child of the lady's family, I happened to meet it, I invited the lady to go to the tea shop over there to drink tea and rest." ”
Shen Lan didn't hesitate when she heard this, but readily agreed, not that she wanted to be greedy for anything, but seeing that Brother Xiang had something to say to her, but standing on the street was obviously not suitable for talking about this, so it was better to find a suitable place to talk.
"Big sister." Shen Mei snorted a little shyly, suggesting that Shen Lan should not go with strangers.
Shen Lan patted her hand and replied, "Don't be afraid, this is Brother Xiang of Tianbao Silver Building, and the hairpin I bought for you last time was still bought in his hand." ”
"Yes, I'm not a bad person, little lady don't need to be afraid." Brother Xiang also grinned, Brother Xiang is not very old, that is, fifteen or sixteen years old, he looks white and pure, probably because he is an apprentice in the silver building, the whole person is not quite the same as an ordinary farmer, and because he also does the work of a man, he always smiles when he sees people, and he will feel very kind in the eyes of ordinary people.
Shen Mei was a little embarrassed, and unconsciously grabbed her eldest sister's arm, the girl will always be a little shy when she is older, and when she sees a good-looking man, her heart will beat wildly unconsciously, not that she has any ideas, but she can't help but be shy, after all, she is a strange man.
Shen Lan didn't say anything, so she took Shen Mei to follow Brother Xiang to a tea house, set up a shed outside the tea house, set up a few tables, and ordinary guests drank tea outside to rest, but Brother Xiang took the two sisters into the tea house and found a clean table to sit down.
"Tea woman, a pot of green tea and a few snacks." Brother Xiang shouted loudly, and the mother-in-law, who had been greeting guests for tea outside, immediately walked in to greet Shen Lan and them when she heard the sound.
"I haven't seen my lady for a long time, what has my lady been busy with lately?" Everyone sat down, Brother Xiang asked with a smile.
In fact, it was just an opening statement, Shen Lan didn't have to answer seriously, but Shen Lan still replied: "It's that I haven't come for some days, it's not a farm job, the work at home has just been completed, and I have encountered a locust plague, and I don't know how to spend this day." ”
"There must be a lot of land in the lady's house, but it's not the lady's turn to do the work." Brother Xiang opened his mouth with a smile, obviously turning around to probe himself, and Shen Lan couldn't help but be a little vigilant.
At this time, the tea lady took the snacks on the tray, put the melon seeds, peanuts and broad beans and other items on the table one by one, and said in her mouth: "Please use it slowly." ”
After saying that, she turned around and left, Shen Mei obediently arranged the food, and added tea to her eldest sister and the person opposite, so she sat silently and drank tea, listening to her eldest sister and others with pointed ears.
After being disturbed by the tea woman, Shen Lan also calmed down, and replied with a smile: "The farmer is not just like that, facing the loess with his back to the sky. ”
The lady laughed. Brother Xiang replied with a smile, "By the way, which village is the lady from in Jixian County?" I'm from Qiting, maybe not far from the lady's house. ”
"Seven Pavilions?" Shen Lan really didn't know, after all, she hadn't been to a few villages, and then the news of this place was blocked, and although she had traveled over for a long time, it was less than a year.
"Eldest sister, it's dozens of miles east of Jixian County, close to Yanghua Town." Shen Mei knew that Shen Lan had lost her memory, so she explained to Shen Lan in a whisper that Shen Lan didn't understand it, but she still nodded.
Brother Xiang originally looked at Shen Lan's expression and thought that Shen Lan was not a local, but after listening to the words of the woman next to Shen Lan at this time, it was not very similar, and the woman looked very similar to this Song family lady, and he knew that she was a sister at a glance, but he faintly felt that this Song lady was not very similar to an ordinary peasant girl.
"So it's quite far away, we are at the foot of the mountain god mountain." Shen Lan said simply, but did not report the name of the village, who knows what this kid is going to do.
Brother Xiang nodded and agreed: "It's quite far." ”
Shen Lan smiled, took the cup and drank the tea, but she didn't want the stone in her arms to take the opportunity to grab the dried fruits on the table, Shen Lan was startled, and hurriedly put down the teacup to grab the peanuts in her son's hand, in case the mouth was stuck, it would be terrible.
"Hmm!" Seeing Shen Lan coming to break his hand, he immediately waved another empty hand, greeted Shen Lan unceremoniously, and grabbed a few hairs by his hand, Shen Lan was so angry that he really wanted to spank him.
"Let it go, you can't take this, what if you get stuck in your mouth." Shen Lan angrily hugged her son away and said to her son, but unfortunately the stone didn't understand, so she refused to let go, just holding on.
Although ......he couldn't speak, it didn't mean that people wouldn't protest, so Shi opened his mouth and spoke Martian to his mother, making it clear that he refused to hand over the murder weapon.
Shen Lan glared at the stone angrily, and suddenly the mother and son stared at this small eye with big eyes, and no one refused to admit defeat.
"Eldest sister, there are still guests." Shen Mei pushed Shen Lan embarrassedly, can you not be distracted halfway, can you finish this well?
Shen Lan smiled at Brother Xiang embarrassedly, and then said: "My stone is still small, and I usually pay attention not to let him hold things in his hands, for fear that he will not be sensible and stuff his mouth, so that the little brother will laugh." ”
Brother Xiang shook his head indifferently, but he finally understood that the woman in front of him always looked plain, and had never worn bead jewelry, and it seemed that he was afraid that the child would pull it away.
"When will the lady still go to our Tianbao Building to see, there are some new styles of hairpins and beads recently." Brother Xiang picked up the teacup, skimmed the tea powder with the tea lid, raised his glass and drank the tea, and the eyelashes covered blocked the calculation in his eyes.
Shen Lan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, where did this kid get the confidence to think that he could afford all kinds of jewelry at will? Grasp the stone with one hand and hold the peanut hand to prevent him from stuffing it in his mouth, and hold the stone's belly firmly with the other hand so that the stone stands on his lap.
"It depends." Shen Lan replied casually, but after thinking about it, she asked, "I don't know how the little brother's jewelry skills are?" ”
Brother Xiang chuckled in his heart, what does this lady mean? Hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Shen Lan, who was holding the child, only to see that the other party's face was calm and natural, and he was still coaxing the child in his arms, with a smile on his face, as if what he said just now was just his illusion, but Brother Xiang still couldn't help but look forward to it, he had been an apprentice since he was eight years old, and until now, but he could already foresee his future.
