Chapter 20: Shopping in the Shopping Street
During the Qixi Festival, the road was full of people, and Gu Nanjun was desperate to rampage forward in the crowd, elegy, wait for me, elegy, wait for me.
At this time, the summer sun splashed like a heavy oil on the equally golden candy man, permeating the delicate little fans, rolling in the cries of the vendors, and scorching in the white clouds.
Beads of sweat slowly flowed from Gu Nanjun's forehead to his neck, soaking the collar of his shirt that was as white as snow, and bursts of brownish-gray dust rose from under his black suit pants.
"Let me go, thank you."
"Let me go, thank you."
He was running hard, desperately running.
At this time, Lin Elegy was relaxing in the antique market. Behind the tall white wall, there are many merchants and endless customers, all kinds of rare antiques are dazzling, clear and flawless jade pendants, jade bracelets of excellent fineness, cloisonnΓ© enamel color bottles Tang Dynasty gilt three-legged silver jars, copper three-legged lion ear petal aromatherapy furnaces, blue and white lotus seed jars......
"Momo, Liuyun, let's go, let's go to Tianxin Pavilion." Lin Elegy, who walked in front of Xia Mo and Tassel, wore a cute doll collar dress showing liveliness and innocence, and a handful of fluffy hair hung down on the pale yellow checkered and became even blacker.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xia Mo behind him wore a pink slim cheongsam, the cheongsam used the ingenious combination of lace and chiffon to make the silk flowers bloom in the warm summer sun, and the two lifelike butterflies on the chest made Xia Mo like a fairy flying in the wind.
"Yes, miss." Today's tassels are dressed differently from the past, and they also try their best to dress themselves, with a gray-blue plaid top and a pair of navy blue cloth pants, which looks very well-behaved.
So the three of them entered the Tianxin Pavilion, and the merchants at the door came to solicit business; "These two young ladies come and take a look, look, how about this string of rat eye Bodhi bracelets, this is made of rosewood in the Qing Dynasty, the gold is very expensive, it is said that it was worn by the Empress Dowager Cixi."
Xia Mo looked at the round and extremely shiny rat-eyed Bodhi bracelet and said, "The beads are good beads, but is this really what the Empress Dowager Cixi brought?" I'm afraid you didn't make it up, right? β
The merchant listened and replied: "Yo, yo, yo, yo, what a powerful young lady, then it's not the beads that the Empress Dowager Cixi brought are also good beads, isn't it?" β
Xia Mo smiled slightly when he heard this: "Merchant, bring your beads to my good sister to try to wear them." β
"Okay." The merchant on the opposite side smiled earnestly and handed over the rat-eyed Bodhi bracelet.
Xia Mo, who took the rat-eyed Bodhi bracelet, turned to Lin Elegy and said, "Elegy, put it on and try it, this bracelet matches you and your dress today." As he spoke, he stretched out the rat-eyed Bodhi bracelet and put it on Lin Elegy's wrist.
"Look, what a match." Xia Mo's smile was even more.
"It's really good, boss, wrap it up." Lin Elegy, who was on the side, took off the rat-eyed Bodhi bracelet on his wrist and handed it to the merchant opposite.
"How much does it cost?" Lin Elegy smiled slightly and asked the businessman opposite.
"Five hundred oceans." The merchant smiled more earnestly.
"Okay, there's exactly five hundred silver tickets here, you can take it." Lin Wangge took out a silver ticket of five hundred yuan from the embroidered money bag.
The merchant took the silver ticket and handed the wooden box containing the rat-eye Bodhi bracelet to Lin Elegy.
"Elegy, let's go, let's go inside and have a look." Xia Mo smiled charmingly, took Lin Wangge's arm and continued to walk inside.
"Hello Miss, do you want to take a look?"
"Stay, two young ladies"
β¦β¦
At this time, Gu Nanjun had already arrived at Cao'e Temple, which sat west and faced east, with his back to Phoenix Mountain and facing the Cao'e River.
Seeing the courtyard full of men, women and children who came to worship in front of him, Gu Nanjun couldn't find half a trace of Lin Elegy, so he unconsciously walked into the main hall and wanted to explore again, Elegy, Elegy, where are you? You don't know how hard I found you.
The four golden pillars in the main hall are as hard as iron, the three rolls of the outward turn create an extremely solemn atmosphere, the treasure elephant of the copper-colored filial piety Cao E is located in the middle, look carefully, she combs a soft horn bun, wears a wonderful Luo clothes, holds a plate of delicious peaches, steps on a soft auspicious cloud, the nepotism is dragged on it, filial piety touches the world.
Gu Nanjun carefully identified the figure of the girl in the main hall, but still couldn't find Lin Elegy, so he had to give up, and then he had a plan, wanting to wait at the gate of the temple, so as to intercept Lin Elegy, who was praying for blessing and preparing to go home, and then walked to the place of prayer and knelt on the futon to pray to Cao E, Cao E Niangniang, Cao E Niangniang, must let me Gu Nanjun find the elegy here, must let me find the elegy, bless me, thank you. Then he strode to the shade of the tree at the entrance of the temple, waiting for Lin Elegy to appear.
Under the shade of the tree, orange-yellow ribbons were wrapped and flying, and the prayer cards tied with red silk threads were fluttering with the wind, Gu Nanjun stood under the tree and looked directly at the position of the temple gate.
On the other end, Lin Elegy was not willing to withdraw from the dazzling array of treasures, and was watching all kinds of rare objects with great interest.
"Ink ink, tassels, you see, this jade pendant is in excellent color, and the carved tree flakes are also lifelike." Lin Elegy pointed to the jade pendant, Xia Mo, and tassel on the side and said.
"It's really a beautiful jade pendant." Xia Mo turned a pair of Danfeng eyes in the direction that Lin Wangge was pointing, and his eyes emitted a scorching brilliance.
"This young lady has a great eye." The boss who sold jade stepped forward and said, "Miss, do you want to wear it and try it?" β
Lin Wangge heard this sentence and hurriedly said: "Ah, no need, I don't have any money to buy this jade pendant anymore." Why don't you try it? β
Xia Mo listened to Lin Elegy's words and was very calm: "What's the matter, Elegy, can't you try it if you don't have money, I don't have enough money, look at me." Boss, I don't have the money to buy your jade pendant, can you borrow me to try it on? β
"Of course you can, it's an honor to have a beautiful and moving lady like you wearing a jade pendant." The boss of the jade seller smiled all over his face and offered the jade pendant with both hands.
Xia Mo took the jade pendant in the boss's hand, and a pair of thin white and tender hands quickly stretched the red rope, and then hung the jade pendant on the slender and white neck like a swan: "Are elegy and tassels good-looking?" β
The green halo of the jade pendant made Xia Mo's cream-like face more delicate and white, which made Lin Elegy applaud again and again: "Good-looking, good-looking, it goes very well with Momo." β
The tassel in the back also hurriedly echoed: "It's good-looking, it's good-looking, Miss Xia is really good-looking wearing this jade pendant." β
Xia Mo smiled when he heard this: "Thank you." β
So he took off the jade pendant around his neck and returned it to the boss: "Boss, give it." β
"Miss wears Jimei, is she really no longer thinking about buying it? Why don't I give Miss a cheaper price? The original price is 3,000 yuan, and now I give you this price, how about 2,005? The cunning boss said right away.
"No, I'm just trying to be fresh for a while, and I won't like it after a while, so I decided not to waste that money anymore." Xia Mo listened and politely rejected the boss.
"Alright then, then welcome to the next visit." The boss smiled frustrated and far-fetched.
The three of them had a great time strolling around the lively Shangzhen Bureau, and they didn't come out until the sun was gradually setting in the west. The orange-yellow sunset seemed to leave a magnificent and heavy splashed ink painting in the west, which flowed into Lin Elegy's eyes, and the warm wind blowing slowly surrounded Lin Elegy.
"It's finally coming out, and it's a little stuffy inside." The tassel, who was walking behind, said to the two young ladies in front of him, and some fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Are you scared of the tassels? Come, I'll rub it for you. Lin Elegy turned around after hearing Tassel's words, pulled his handkerchief out of his clothes pocket, and reached over to help Tassel wipe the sweat on his forehead.
The tassel was a little flattered when he saw it: "Miss, don't ask for it, I'm afraid I'll dirty Miss's veil." Over and over again, he blocked the handkerchief handed over by Liu Wangge.
"Oh, it's okay, you're my little sister too." Liu Wangge smiled, pressed the hand that was blocked by the tassel with his left hand, and then gently wiped the sweat off his forehead with the tassel with his right hand.
"Alright, miss, no." The tassel was a little moved when he saw it.
"Don't move, I'll see, well, there's no sweat." Lin Elegy said as he put the veil into his clothes again without disgust.
"Let's go, look at you two sisters, it's not early, let's go quickly, and hurry to Cao'e Temple to pray for blessings." Xia Mo, who was at the forefront, urged Lin Elegy and Tassel.
"Okay, okay, Momo, don't worry." Lin Elegy replied to Xia Mo.
"It's been a long time for Miss Xia to wait." Tassel smiled a little shyly, and a faint flush hung on his face.
The sky is full of red clouds, and the night market of the commercial street has quietly kicked off, and the orange lanterns of each other have begun to emerge, one after another the commercial street, and up and down one after another, forming one beautiful arc wave after another, which is reflected in Lin Elegy's flashing eyes.
"Momo, tassels, you see, these lanterns are really beautiful." Lin Elegy was a little fascinated by it.
Xia Mo and the tassel only stopped with Lin Elegy's stunned, and Xia Mo spoke first: "Oh, it's not the first time you've seen you, and you're still so stupid, it's a little funny, haha." β
"Yes, miss, it's not the first time we've seen each other, let's go quickly." The tassel who was walking behind couldn't help but laugh out loud when he looked at Lin Elegy's stupid appearance, "Hehe, hehe." β
