Chapter 232: Fate Comes Like the Wind
Luoyang South City is equivalent to Chang'an West City, mainly based on various bulk goods, but there are also many special goods, there are more than 3,000 shops, silk cloth piled up.
"Little Fish Lady, I'll buy you a few pieces of silk, and you can cut your own clothes."
Guo Song saw that Xiao Yuniang only brought a small cloth bag with her, and she didn't even have a change of clothes, and she forgot to buy it for her in Puyang County a few days ago.
Xiao Yuniang shook her head, "I don't need it now, let's go back to the capital!" ”
Xiao Yuniang just turned fourteen last month, this is still a virtual age, the first year is only thirteen years old, it is the time when she likes to be beautiful, how can she not like clothes?
Xue Changshou took a moment and whispered to Guo Song: "She has no money on her, and she doesn't want her son to break the bank." ”
Guo Song nodded and smiled at Xiao Yuniang: "Go to the clothing appraisal shop!" I also want to buy a change of clothes. ”
The clothing appraisal shop is a second-hand clothing store, but there are also new clothes for sale, Xiao Yuniang did not say anything, and followed Guo Song to a clothing appraisal store.
It is said that it is an estimate of clothes, but almost all of the clothes sold in the store are new, both men and women, and there is a dazzling array of them, and a female shopkeeper stepped forward and smiled: "Three customers want to buy clothes, we have new clothes here, and old clothes are also available, but in the back." ”
Guo Song pointed at Xiao Yuniang and said, "Pick out a few new clothes for my little sister." ”
Xiao Yu Niang took a step back and whispered, "I don't want it!" ”
Guo Song immediately sank his face and said: "I don't want to buy you something, you continue to be polite, and you will go to the eldest lady after returning to the capital!" ”
Xiao Yuniang lowered her head for a long time and said, "Okay! Just buy two. ”
"Three!"
Guo Song glared at her and said to the female shopkeeper, "Take her to choose and buy three good ones." ”
The female shopkeeper nodded and smiled: "Little lady come with me!" ”
Xiao Yuniang obediently followed the female shopkeeper away, Xue Changshou looked at her back and smiled: "How does Changshi plan to place her?" ”
Guo Song sighed and said: "To be honest, I don't know what to do, I originally planned to send her back to the Hidden Sword Pavilion, but now it seems that it is unlikely again, that day I just said casually, in fact, the Hidden Sword Pavilion is more suitable for her, and she cried all night." ”
"Then leave her alone! Changshi also needs a little maid to take care of his daily life. ”
Guo Song shook his head, "I grew up in poverty since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to taking care of myself, and I am really not used to being served. ”
Xue Changshou said with a smile: "The identity is different, and the lifestyle will also change, for example, Changshi goes out as a guest, it must be to go to a high-ranking family, then the clothes must be neat, and the hair must be combed, no longer like when there is a war, he will set off unkempt, and he will not respect the owner of the family, which requires a little maid to take care of it for you, the little fish girl is well-behaved and capable, it must be of great help to your life, Changshi will not even be able to afford a maid, right?" ”
"Not really!"
Guo Song smiled, he suddenly remembered that there were more than a dozen maids and servants in Zhang Lei's mansion, and he asked with a smile: "Is there a maid in Doctor Xue's house?" ”
"Yes! There are also three or four maids, but in Lingzhou, plus other servants, there are about ten subordinates in my house. ”
Guo Song was helpless, so he had to smile bitterly: "Let's go back to the capital and talk about it!" ”
At this time, the female shopkeeper came back with Xiao Yuniang, holding three sets of dresses, as well as a few pieces of sporadic underwear, etc., the female shopkeeper smiled: "One satin, two fine linen, plus some small clothes, a total of three dollars." ”
Guo Song frowned, "Why isn't it all silk?" ”
Xiao Yu Niang hurriedly explained: "The fine linen is comfortable to wear, and I wear fine linen in Lingnan." ”
Guo Song thought for a while and asked, "Is there a samurai uniform she is wearing?" ”
"Yes! Red, white, blue, and black, all in full. ”
"Give her a set of each color, a satin one, and a shirt for each of our two men, a blue one."
The female shopkeeper was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to get her clothes, Guo Song said softly to Xiao Yuniang: "The long skirt is not convenient for horseback riding, it is better to wear a samurai uniform." ”
Xiao Yu Niang's eyes were red, and she said in a low voice: "Thank you, Childe!" ”
Soon, the female shopkeeper came out with a suitcase, calculated ten taels of silver, Guo Song paid the bill, and the three of them walked out of the clothing estimation shop.
Guo Song glanced at the sky, it was still early for dinner, Guo Song smiled and said, "Let's go to the jewelry store and have a look!" ”
Jewelry and jade are Guo Song's biggest hobby, he wants to see it wherever he goes, and when he encounters gemstones that make his heart, he will take them into his pocket.
Located in the eastern part of the market, the jewelry store in Nanshi is a long street where dozens of shops are gathered, including high, medium and low-end stores, and the grade can be distinguished by the size of the store.
"Let's go to that store!" Guo Song pointed to the largest store in the middle and smiled.
"What does Childe want to buy?" Xiao Yu Niang asked with a smile.
"Don't necessarily buy it, just take a look at it first, and then consider what you like."
At this moment, a carriage came from a distance, stopped not far from them, and a little maid stepped down, helping a young girl in a white dress out of the carriage.
Guo Song stopped suddenly, he never expected that he would meet her again here.
The girl in the white dress felt something, and when she turned around, she saw Guo Song at a glance, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurriedly bowed to Guo Song slightly, with a smile in her eyes that could not be concealed.
Guo Song walked over quickly, hugged his fists and smiled: "Miss Xue, what a coincidence!" ”
"Guo Gongzi, what a coincidence, you also came to see the jewelry?" Xue Tao rolled his eyes and quickly glanced at the little fish girl.
"I'll just wander around, Miss Xue is here to buy jewelry?"
Xue Tao smiled, "Like you, it's boring to go out for a walk." ”
At this time, a guy greeted him warmly, "The small shop is the best jewelry shop in Luoyang, Tong Su is not deceitful, and the reputation is very high, and a few people are welcome to buy." ”
Guo Song smiled: "Miss Xue, do you want to go in and have a look together?" ”
Xue Tao smiled happily: "Guo Gongzi, please!" ”
Seeing that she was not cowardly, Guo Song felt good in his heart, and turned back to Xue Changshou and Xiao Yuniang and smiled: "Let's go in and have a look." ”
Xiao Yu Niang walked with Xue Tao's maid obediently, and the two little girls were the same age, and they soon started talking and laughing.
The man invited them to sit down in the side hall, bowed down and smiled, "What kind of jewelry does this girl like?" ”
Xue Tao thought for a while and said, "Look at the hairpin!" I just wanted to buy a small gift for my mother. ”
The man's smile became a little reluctant, and he wanted to serve them tea, but he didn't have the heart at this time, so he said listlessly: "The girl sits down for a while, and I'll go get the hairpin box." ”
The guy has received countless customers, and he can see through Xue Tao's mind at a glance, this little lady treats their Qizhen Zhai as a stall.
Xue Tao stuck out his tongue and laughed quietly: "Aren't the things here very expensive?" ”
Guo Song smiled dumbly and said: "If the price is expensive, just don't buy it, it's okay to take a look!" ”
At this time, the guy came over with a beautiful big box, put it in front of Xue Tao and opened it, only to see dozens of hairpins of all kinds on the flannel on both sides of the box.
Xue Tao looked at it for a long time, took out a white hosta, inlaid with gold threads and pearls, and asked with a smile: "How much is this white hosta?" ”
The guy said: "This is the cheapest one, there are no carved patterns and characters on it, you can discount a little, three hundred yuan a piece." ”
Xue Tao was stunned, shook his head for a while, and said, "I can't afford it, it's too expensive." ”
The guy couldn't bear it anymore, closed the box, and said very dissatisfied: "Go out and walk along the street for a hundred steps and turn right, there is a small stall, where copper hairpins are sold, girl, please!" ”
Xue Tao's face suddenly turned red, but Guo Song smiled faintly: "I have a few gems here, can you help me identify them?" I can pay for the appraisal fee. ”
The guy was stunned for a moment, and said for a while: "The small shop can help people identify, wait a minute, son, I'll go and ask for a palm!" ”
He glanced at Xue Tao and hurried away.
Xue Tao said in a low voice: "Guo Gongzi, the people here are all snobs, let's go!" ”
Guo Song said coldly: "I just want to dig out their snobbery, the girl waits patiently, I will let him kowtow to you and apologize!" ”
Xue Tao was grateful and worried in his heart, and he was a little restless.
It was Xue Changshou who was watching the excitement on the side, he was funny in his heart, Changshi seemed to have a good impression of the little lady in front of him, and the little fish girl also understood a little, she was very curious about this Xue girl, so she quietly asked the little maid about Xue Tao's situation on the side.
Not long after, a tall and fat middle-aged man about fifty years old was led over by the guy, he was the chief appraiser of the jewelry store, known as Palm Eye, he smiled politely: "In Xia Wu Dong, may I ask who wants to identify gemstones?" ”
Guo Song took out a cloth bag from his bosom and unfolded it, and inside were eighteen sapphires, topazes, and rubies, all the size of pigeon eggs.
Xiao Yu Niang covered her mouth suddenly, she recognized it, this is Lu Sigong's most beloved thing, there are a total of eighteen gems, six each in red, yellow and blue, it seems that she got it from an overseas businessman, how could it be in the hands of Guo Gongzi?
Xiao Yu Niang immediately understood that it must be Lu Sigong's gem box that Guo Gongzi obtained.
Wu Zhangyan's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly sat down, picked up a ruby and looked at it carefully, his breathing gradually became short, he slapped the table and exclaimed: "This is definitely a rare and superb ruby in the world!" ”
He hurriedly turned back to his fellow and said, "Go and call the big shopkeeper quickly!" ”
