Chapter 19: The East Wind and the West Wind

"The head of Tang's Ruifu Xuan on Nanyu Street has a new idea, and the ladies and ladies of the capital are frequent visitors there, so it is better to go there first." Zhen said to her husband before getting into the sedan chair.

Wu Jinglan instructed the palanquin man to go to Nanyu Street, the most prosperous street in the capital.

Zhen helped Wu to take a big sedan chair in front, a sedan chair in the back to sit on Wanzhen and Wanyun, eight girls, Wanzhu and Wanyu to sit in a small sedan chair, and a big sedan chair in the back is a maid and a woman.

Wu Jinglan and a few servants followed on horseback.

Half an hour, the sedan chair stopped, and Wu Jinglan's voice outside the sedan chair: "Aunt and sister, it's here." ”

Wanzhen got off the sedan chair, a piece of shops, one by one, looking at the whole street, the three-story faΓ§ade in front of you is the most spectacular, the appearance is simple, obviously the style is good.

The maid helped Wu to get off the sedan chair, and Wu Jinglan had already tied the horse and followed up.

"Madame, ladies and ladies, please go up to the second floor." As soon as the group of people came in, they knew that business was coming, and they were busy laughing and politely letting them to the second floor.

Wanzhen took a look at the first floor, the overall style is antique, and the cold color system highlights the high grade of jewelry.

"Girl, slow down." As soon as I went up the wooden stairs, Xiuju reminded me quietly.

Coming upstairs, sure enough, the upper floor is slightly different from the lower floor, more delicate and elegant.

"A few of your sisters' personal favorites, pick your own." The implication of Wu's words, pick up more money and pay for it yourself, it's not that your aunt is rich, and she doesn't have less silver, so let's consume it.

"My aunt looks at this bracelet well, if you are in the picture, your nephew and daughter-in-law will honor your old age." Zhen helped Wu pick out jewelry.

"This golden lock looks good, even if my aunt and grandmother gave it to my eldest sister." Wu's one of the phases, let the work be put away and written down.

"How can I let my aunt break the bank." Zhen said with joy in his heart.

Wu stepped up to the third floor with Zhen's support.

Wanzhen also has no intention of picking jewelry, although she does not have many jewelry, but it is enough to cope with various occasions, or keep the silver money to spend conveniently, there is an emergency for temporary, and it takes a lot of trouble to exchange jewelry for silver money.

"Job, take out this bracelet and take a look." In that room, Shen Wanzhu and Shen Wanyu took a fancy to a bracelet together, the bracelet was wrapped with fine silver wire, inlaid with beads, but the pattern wrapped was very exquisite, and the workmanship was exquisite.

The two argued that they saw it first.

"Girl, our shop has the most complete jewelry and the most novel style, two girls take a look at this, this year is popular, Mrs. and Miss have a lot of orders, this is yesterday."

The shop was afraid that the two would fight, so they were busy recommending other styles and took out a few bracelets.

Shen Wanzhu was used to being domineering, and pushed Shen Wanyu, Shen Wanyu didn't guard against her hand, and almost pushed it, Shen Wanzhu took the opportunity to take the bracelet in her hand, raised it proudly and said to the store: "This girl wants it."

Shen Wanyu was supported by Duanyun, the maid next to her, before she stood firmly.

Shen Wanyu was unwilling to accept such idleness, and was about to step forward to snatch it, but Duanyun gently pulled the corner of his clothes, making a look, Shen Wanyu couldn't help but act aggressively, and secretly got angry.

"Sixth sister, my sister can pick two things in this store, and the money will be counted as my cousin's account."

I don't know when Wu Jinglan came in, just a scene was probably in my eyes, Shen Wanyu turned around, gratefully glanced at Wu Jinglan with a smile on her face, her face was red, she hurriedly looked away, lowered her eyes and whispered, "Cousin Xie." ”

Shen Wanyu was dazzled by someone who paid for it, and he didn't know which one to choose.

"Work, take out the best jewelry in your store, the price is not a problem." Wu Jinglan saw that Shen Wanyu couldn't make up her mind for a while, and generously ordered the work in the store.

When he heard this, his little eyes lit up, and he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, the little one will give the girl two things, and the girl will be in the spot." ”

Just take out several.

Over there, Shen Wanyun also picked two hairpins, but they were far away from these two people and did not mix.

Shen Wanyu glanced at Shen Wanzhu proudly, Shen Wanzhu pouted angrily, secretly complained that her cousin was partial, and only bought it for Shen Wanyu.

"The third sister doesn't buy anything, choose a few cousins to give you." As soon as Wan Zhen raised her head to meet Wu Jinglan's warm and affectionate gaze, she was so frightened that she hurriedly excused herself and said, "Cousin Xie, you have brought a lot of things to Beijing, and you don't lack anything." ”

Coming out of Tang's Ruifuxuan, I went to De's Silk Village to buy a few horses, and walked around, seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Wu said: "Go back, anyway, I won't leave for a while, the old lady's birthday will pass another day, and my nephew will not be delayed." ”

"Accompanying my aunt is a big deal." Wu Jinglan didn't have time to answer, but Zhen preemptively spoke.

Wu walked to the sedan chair and glanced back, "Yun'er, you and Xin'er sit in a sedan chair with me, let your cousin-in-law and your third sister sit in a sedan chair, I have something to say to you." ”

"Sister, take a sedan chair with your sister-in-law." Zhen came over and grabbed Shen Wanzhen's hand.

Shen Wanzhen understood that this was an intentional arrangement by her mother-in-law, and she thought that Zhen must have something to say.

Shen Wanyu was the happiest today, and the maid Duanyun behind her held a delicate ebony gold-plated box. After Shen Wanzhu got into the sedan chair, she also followed the sedan chair.

Get up the sedan chair and go home, the sedan chair driver slows down, there are many people on the street, and the sedan chair walks leisurely.

Wanzhen waited for Zhen to speak first, she couldn't speak rashly, that sentence was wrong, and it was too late to regret it.

Sure enough, Zhen looked at her quietly, and took the initiative to say with a pleasant face: "Sister-in-law likes her sister at first sight, she likes her sister-in-law, my sister is sensible at first sight, my mother's brother has recently married Aunt Fang, it looks good, but as soon as I pass the door, it makes a lot of trouble in the room, and my brother spoils her, and my sister-in-law is also generous and tolerant. ”

After Zhen finished speaking, he waited for her to speak, and these words were purely to knock on Wanzhen and see Wanzhen's reaction.

Wanzhen didn't answer immediately, and Yu Guang saw Zhen staring at her, so she said slowly: "It's that concubine who is stupid and didn't capture a man's heart, even if she has a big heart, she will endure it for a while, and when she has a child, who can do anything to her?" ”

Wanzhen's words, Zhen was stupid to listen to, and Wanzhen knew that her words violated women's morality.

Zhen is not a noodle in the end, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "How can my sister say that, being a concubine should keep her duty, even if she gives birth to a child, she also respects her mother as her mother, and calls her mother her aunt." ”

"Sister-in-law, this is the reason, it depends on what kind of marriage, honest duty is naturally good, if you marry a concubine like a sister-in-law brother, even if you respect your mother as a mother on the surface, you are not close to your biological mother behind your back, and when you grow up and attack the family business, you don't want to do what you want, and the concubine is also a woman, not necessarily worse than your wife, but you are unlucky, you should be a dwarf, and be a concubine for the rest of your life, since ancient times, the family is either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms ......the east wind."

Wanzhen talked eloquently, and also quoted the classic lines in the dream of Red Mansions, almost saying that a concubine who doesn't want to be a wife is not a good concubine.

The more Juan Zhen said, the more ugly Zhen's face became, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Enough." ”

Wanzhen turned her head to look at her and muttered, "Cousin-in-law, what did my sister say wrong?" "It seems that he has been greatly wronged, and his expression is pitiful.

When Zhen saw it, his whole body trembled, if such a woman marries into the door, will she still have a way to live?

Wanzhen wanted to keep doing it, looking at her with big eyes like water, and pretending to be innocent: "Sister-in-law is angry with my sister?" ”

Zhen's face turned pale, and his lips trembled: "Who taught my sister this idea." ”

Wanzhen blinked and said quite seriously: "No one teaches, this is what my sister said in her heart, even if she didn't say it on her face, she thought so behind her back." ”

Zhen's face was pale, and he didn't speak again until Wu Fu, and the sedan chair was carried directly into the second door.

After getting off the sedan chair, Wu deliberately looked at Zhen's face, and saw that Zhen's face was not good, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very far-fetched.

Zhen was annoyed, and she didn't wait for her husband, so she went back to the room.
