Chapter 93: Cutting off the beard
"These are all new treasures sent by the small shop, and there is absolutely only one in the capital, there is no other semicolon, please see it Your Royal Highness."
The shopkeeper of Duobaolou came up with two small servants, holding large and small boxes in his hands, and they were rare treasures when they were opened.
Obviously, he also knew the name of the prince of Pingxi, and he didn't dare to fool with those things that were not in the stream.
"I heard that next month is the old lady's birthday, is the prince here to choose a birthday gift for the old lady?"
Mo Chang didn't answer, just looked down at those treasures one by one.
Lu Yunyao saw that he didn't care, and the shopkeeper's smile was slightly stiff, so he smiled: "The shopkeeper is right, the prince is worried about the old lady's birthday banquet, what do you recommend?" ”
The shopkeeper is also a well-informed person, and said with a slight smile at this time: "Coincidentally, there is really one small one here, which is just right for the old lady's birthday." ”
Mo Changju, who was originally looking at it intently, was suddenly interested, and motioned to the shopkeeper to get it.
"Please wait a while, the little one will come." The shopkeeper arched his hand and went upstairs.
Seeing that Lu Yunyao's eyes had been following the shopkeeper, Mo Chang said in a low voice: "Duobao Building has three floors, the first floor is dedicated to serving ordinary guests, the second floor is dedicated to serving VIPs, and the third floor is a warehouse, and almost all good things are placed on the third floor. ”
The shopkeeper of Duobaolou is very sharp-eyed, and he knows what his identity is almost at a glance from the people who come and go, not to mention the son of a famous family like Mo Changdu.
He is used to watching people put down dishes, and as long as people come and go, even if they don't want to buy something, they will be fooled into buying it.
Mo Chang decided this kind of special to give people away, the shopkeeper will never let go, as the shopkeeper of Duobaolou, he also has a very high vision, since it is said that it is very suitable for the old lady's birthday, it is absolutely not wrong.
Yes, even if Mo Chang doesn't like such a person very much, but he wants to give the old lady a birthday gift that suits him, he still came here.
After a short time, the shopkeeper came down from the third floor, but his face was not very good-looking, and his hands were empty.
"Where's the stuff?" Mo Chang asked with a frown.
The shopkeeper looked apologetic, rubbed his hands and said, "Your Royal Highness, I'm really embarrassed this time, this thing was decided in advance." ”
Treating such a distinguished guest, he rarely has this kind of dishonest behavior, but this time he can't help it, and said apologetically with an apologetic face: "It's better to take a look at the prince of the world, in addition to that, there are many treasures in the shop, which will definitely satisfy the old lady." ”
Mo Changju's face slowly turned cold, "Are you kidding me?" ”
Although it is rumored outside that he is unlearned and unskilled, he has never lost in person in terms of momentum and appearance.
At this time, he looked at the shopkeeper coldly, and his face was full of threat.
The shopkeeper shuddered, he had been thinking about this for a long time, and the dignitaries had seen a lot, and he had never felt such a chilling coldness in a teenager.
I almost thought I had offended the old fritters in the officialdom.
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "Your Royal Highness, how dare you play tricks on you, it's also my daughter-in-law, who only ordered things out in the morning, and didn't talk to me, so I made a fuss, and asked the prince to dissipate his anger." ”
Mo Changdu's expression was faint, but there was a strong expression between his eyebrows, "Oh? Which one did you order it for? I have a good relationship with many nobles in Pingxi Hou Mansion, and the old lady's sixtieth birthday is approaching, and they may be able to sell me face. ”
The shopkeeper showed embarrassment, "This, this ......"
At this time, even Lu Yunyao could see that the shopkeeper was perfunctory to them, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Are you perfunctory Pingxihou?" ”
Mo Chang decided to glance at her.
Yes, it's going to be a fox.
"Oh, it's all a family, and the little ones won't hide it from the world." Seeing that he couldn't get off the stage, the shopkeeper slapped his thigh, looking like he was out of the way, and put the whole thing out.
"Yesterday the shop just came to a jade Guanyin statue, the color is excellent, the old lady believes in Buddhism, is about to 60 birthday, the small one was still talking to the daughter-in-law yesterday to leave a ...... of Guanyin statue for you"
The shopkeeper is still chattering, and he may also want to highlight his innocence.
Mo Chang decided: "Who did you order it for?" ”
The shopkeeper immediately silenced, secretly glanced at Mo Changdu's face, and whispered: "There is a family on the left and right, and it is left to Mrs. Hou." ”
Lu Yunyao said "oh" in her heart, it turned out that it was left to her wife, and sure enough, it was a family.
But outsiders seem to be a family, but Shizi must not think so, Lu Yunyao was afraid that Shizi would be angry, so he couldn't help but look at him secretly.
As a result, Mo Changju's face did not change, and there was no surprise at all, "It was originally given to Qiao's." ”
The attitude of the shopkeeper must have been clear about the entanglement between Qiao's and Pingxi's Hou Shizi, and when he heard Mo Chang rudely call his nominal mother Qiao's in person, he didn't even blink his eyelids.
The shopkeeper smiled: "The old lady has a big birthday, Mrs. Hou must also be anxious, she just wants to please the old lady, in addition to the Guanyin statue, the shop also has other good things, and the prince is not afraid of not choosing the right one." ”
The old lady doesn't have any hobbies on weekdays, but she believes in these, and after gradually handing over the authority to Qiao's over the years, she also likes to chant and worship the Buddha, and there is a small Buddha hall in the Zhuxiang Courtyard, which worships Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Although the old lady is not in the Buddha hall all day, she always has a Buddha string on her hand.
Other things in Duobaolou are not bad, but compared with the Guanyin jade statue, they are always less meaningful.
Not to mention, it was the Qiao family who fought with Mo Chang to grab things, Lu Yunyao always had a feeling, don't look at the world smiling now, he won't just suffer a loss at all.
Lu Yunyao also remembered, "Yun Yao also heard that Mrs. went out this morning, accompanied by ...... Aunt Jiang. ”
When it comes to Jiang Pei'er, she always has a feeling of embarrassment, as a master, she is naturally no longer a slave and a maid in the same world.
Jiang Pei'er is pregnant with the second son's child, and her status is stable, and with this child, she has also established a good relationship with Qiao's family, who has always disliked her, and now she can go out shopping together.
The shopkeeper listened and said, "It was Aunt Jiang of your mansion who came earlier, and when she heard about the jade Guanyin statue in the shop, she brought Mrs. Hou again." ”
Jiang Pei'er was a lot more delicate after she became pregnant, and she felt that her status was high, and she wanted to come out with a butt of maids to show off like other noble girls.
But she is an aunt, how can she come out and show her face, even if Qiao's values the child in her womb, she will not indulge her in nonsense.
It was Jiang Pei'er who had a stable fetus recently, and she was coquettish to the second son, and the second son was soft-hearted, so she let her out, but she sent many people to follow and protect her.
Jiang Pei'er came to Duobaolou, and listened to the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law talk about the jade Guanyin who had just come, and then thought of the old lady's birthday, and hurried back to discuss with her mother-in-law.
