Chapter 059: Thirteen Lines (I)
"Alright, alright, you've found the man. In the future, when you go out, you must remember that your wealth should not be exposed, although gambling stones is legal, but you should not buy so much without moderation!
Your luck is too good, all of them have gambled, I have been here for more than ten years, and I also know about gambling stones, I have never heard of anyone's luck as you are!
No wonder someone is eyeing you! I advise you to leave the upper and lower nine roads, didn't you just say that you would go to the thirteenth line for examination? I see that as soon as you leave the police station, you will go to the Thirteen Lines Road to rest, don't come to this street in the past two days, and you won't go to gamble on stones again! ”
"It's good, it's good, we'll leave now, and as soon as we get out of the police station, we'll take a taxi out of this street! Thank you, comrade, thank you very much!! ”
After Ai Ma finished speaking, she took the lead and walked out of the police station, hailed two taxis, one for four people and one for five people, and left Shangxiajiu Road and drove towards Thirteen Lines Road.
"Master, you can find us a star-rated hotel near Thirteen Hang Road, which is the kind of hotel with a higher safety factor."
Ai's mother was really frightened, feeling that the high-end hotel has drinks and stays, so that everyone will not go to find food when the time comes, and now it is late, tired of this day, no matter how good the body can not stand it.
"Okay, I'll take you to Guangzhou Furama Hotel, this is a newly opened star-rated hotel, very safe."
Under Ai Xiaoyu's suggestion, Ai's mother booked a suite, which has three bedrooms, a separate bathroom, a shared living room, and a house price of one or two hundred yuan a night, which is indeed not low, but for everyone to be together, I can only give up.
"Wow, the decoration here is so beautiful!"
"No, this hotel looks like it's just been built, and it's very new from the outside to the inside!"
"Why don't we eat in our room at night and let the hotel bring it to us?"
"Okay, okay......"
"It looks like everyone is tired, let's rest long ago after eating!"
The nine people who were physically and mentally exhausted took turns to take a bath after dinner, and then fell asleep one after another.
The next day, everyone got up late, Ai Xiaoyu was still the first to get up, she is now used to getting up early, her body has developed a biological clock, no matter how late it is, everyone went to bed early last night.
Ai Xiaoyu was on the balcony, facing the morning sun, after more than half an hour of tai chi, his whole body was smooth, and the suppressed emotions in his body disappeared with the sweat discharged from his body, and after taking a bath, Nie Xinyuan also got up.
"Little Peach, you woke up so early, everyone is still sleeping."
"Hehe, it's used to getting up early, and I'm getting up late today, but it's earlier than you."
"It's not early, should we wake them up, they've been sleeping for so long, and if they sleep for too long, they're uncomfortable."
"Okay, you go wash up, I'll get them up."
"Wake up, wake up......"
When the group of nine people left the hotel, it was already an hour later, and several people had some simple breakfast in the hotel, but they were not happy.
"I feel like I'm alive again! Let's go shopping now, this street is full of clothes! Aunt Lan, you must buy me a new dress today! ”
Tian Peilan slept and was refreshed, as if yesterday's incident had not affected her at all, and everyone was completely relieved to see her like this.
At this time, the clothing wholesale market has not yet been fully established and developed, but it is still in the form of stores, and has not formed a market.
In Chinese history, the "Thirteen Lines" are familiar, and in the Kangxi period, the "Thirteen Lines" existed as a synonym for foreign companies. There are six general merchants and seven deputy merchants in the industry, so it is called "Thirteen Lines"!
Because there are thirteen Yi pavilions in the "Thirteen Lines" street, it is not only the center of China's Sino-Western trade at that time, but also a transit station for cultural exchanges between China and the West during the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, on the eve of and during the Opium War, the 13 Banks experienced the history of the people of Guangzhou spontaneously banning smoking, Lin Zexu selling cigarettes, and the trading houses being looted by the British army.
"I've read the book about the 'Thirteen Lines', which was the center of foreign trade in the Qing Dynasty, and maybe we can still find some antique foreign gadgets nearby!"
Although Nie Xinyuan usually has good luck, he loves to read books, especially some miscellaneous books, which are his favorites. In this way, his knowledge is very broad, but very scattered, and he knows a little bit of everything, but he is not proficient.
"Hehe, Xinyuan, you haven't been with Xiaoxiao for long, and you have the same preferences as her? Still antique foreign gadgets? ”
Bai Shibing is not interested in these at all, and he has to talk for a long time when he sees others interested, he can't look down on his good brother now, and he has also embarked on the wrong path in his opinion.
Ai Xiaoyu looked at Bai Shibing's tone, but he was not happy: "Brother Xiaobing, what's the matter?" Is my love of antiques in your way? Brother Xinyuan said that there are antique foreign gadgets, and I think there will be, what are you going to do with us? “
"Yes, smile, heart far, the little soldier said the wrong thing, antiques are things, but they are valuable! It's not very normal for us to encounter foreign gadgets near these thirteen foreign companies! Don't pay attention to Bai Shibing, this broken child! ”
Bai Shijun mourned in his heart, why did he always have to ask his younger brother to clean up the mess. Sometimes, he really hopes that he and his younger brother can be born in the mother's womb, he doesn't want to be an elder brother, being an elder brother means that the younger brother has something to do with the elder brother has to obey it!
"Brother......
Bai Shibing is usually very aggressive, but he is a little afraid of his brother in his bones, and he doesn't dare to shout loudly at this moment, just whispering his thoughts on the side.
Dong Jingjing looked at Bai Shibing with a pitiful expression, and changed everyone's topic and said: "Aunt Lan, let's take Pei Lan to buy a skirt, if it's cheap, by the way, let's buy a new set of clothes!" “
"Jingjing said well, let your Ai Dad bleed a lot today, and let him give you a new set of clothes, do you say it's okay?"
Ai's mother also wants everyone to forget yesterday's unhappiness as soon as possible, so she can only let Ai's father be generous.
"Okay, okay, 'Ai Dad' and 'Ai Ma' will be the title of all of us in the future!"
"yes, it's nice to hear, it's easy to remember......"
"Long live Daddy!!"
"Long live Ai Ma, long live!"
Ai's father also said to Ai's mother helplessly: "A group of children who have milk are mothers!" The two of us have so many sons and daughters all at once, I really can't be happy! It's too much of a burden! Looks like we're going to have to work hard to make money! ”
"Come on! Here's a particularly nice red dress! ”
Tian Peilan entered a children's clothing store, and at a glance she saw the most conspicuous red gauze skirt, with long flared sleeves and a flowing long skirt, which is just right for this season, this coastal city!
"It's very good, the enthusiasm is like fire, isn't it just for you!" Dong Jingjing nodded approvingly!
"Then try it on, and see if it fits Perrin after wearing it!"
Ai's mother likes red clothes very much, and she wants to buy a few more red clothes for her daughter several times, but she has been hit, Ai Xiaoyu has always been reluctant to wear red clothes, especially Ai's mother also likes to buy red flowers for her daughter to tie her hair, which makes Ai Xiaoyu feel vulgar!
Now Tian Peilan has taken a fancy to the red skirt at a glance, and Ai's mother is the happiest, finally having a nominal daughter who has the same vision as her.
"Little Peach, this peach-colored skirt suits you very well!"
Nie Xinyuan picked a peach-colored canopy midi skirt, the style is still very good, Ai Xiaoyu is not actually rejecting red, but she just doesn't like red.
The skirt recommended by Nie Xinyuan is not all peach, the belt is white, and the skirt of the lower body is also red and white, she thinks that Nie Xinyuan's vision is much stronger than Ai's mother!
Ai Xiaoyu happily took it and ran behind the curtain on the side to change it, fortunately, when she went out this time, she was wearing a pair of white universal small leather shoes, which matched this skirt just right!
"Mom, how's it going? I look good in this dress, right? ”
"Good-looking, very good-looking, my daughter is naturally beautiful, she looks good in any clothes!"
Although Ai's mother agrees with the skirt chosen by Nie Xinyuan in her heart, which is very suitable for her daughter's temperament, she is not willing to deny her own taste, and attributes everything to her daughter's good genetics, so that she also has a share of the light. After all, her daughter was born by her mother, and her daughter Xiao's mother is very normal!
In the following time, everyone visited one clothing store after another with high interest, Ai Dad's focus was on the current popular styles and fabrics, and Ai Ma's focus was on the wholesale price of clothing, retail price and so on.
Everyone went around the old clothes street, Heping East Road, Thirteen Lines of Doulan on the street, and then returned to the Thirteen Lines Road, it took a day to find that people were tired, their feet were sore, and they could no longer continue to walk, so they found a nearby alley and chose a popular Chen Ji snack bar to solve everyone's dinner.
Ai Xiaoyu looked at the diners around her, then looked at the menu, and asked, "How about we order a small bowl of boat porridge and a fish ball powder for each person?" I think most of the people here eat both! ”
"Okay, good, it looks so good!"
Bai Shibing was already hungry, and when he heard what Ai Xiaoyu said, he immediately agreed. Foodies are not foodies, and when it comes to eating, the reaction is much faster than ordinary people.
Ai Xiaoyu looked at everyone's reactions again, nodded in agreement, and called: "Boss!" Let's have nine portions of boat porridge and nine servings of fish ball powder! Hurry up! We're all so hungry! ”
"Sister, I'm coming soon......"
"Here, here, the boat porridge and fish ball powder you called are all on board!"
Everyone took their share of the snack and devoured it. After a day of shopping in a clothing store, I just ate some small noodles at noon, and now everyone's stomachs are hungry.
