Chapter 37: Miss Ruan
The next day, Chu Xiuyuan really sent a mother-in-law surnamed Li in the prince's mansion and ordered her to accompany her eldest grandson Changqing out for a walk.
Because of this outing, the eldest grandson Changqing had other plans, so he didn't bring the eldest grandson Huaijin, Yuzhu, and Agarwood, and walked around with Mrs. Li alone.
The eldest grandson, Changqing, saw that he was getting farther and farther away from the prince's mansion, so he pretended to be casual and asked Mrs. Li.
"Mother Li, do you know any jewelry shops in this city? I want to go and see it. ”
Mrs. Li didn't think about it, so she opened her mouth and said: "There are a lot of jewelry shops, I don't know what kind of jewelry shop Miss wants to go to?" ”
"But what's selling jade or something?"
The eldest grandson Changqing guessed that since Gu Yichu asked her to go to Jade Xuan to find him, listening to this name, it must be a shop related to jade jewelry.
"Jade and the like, there is a street in front of it, which specializes in selling jade jewelry, commonly known as jade street, and the lady has whatever style she wants!"
That Mrs. Li was very enthusiastic, stretched out her hand and pointed to a street in front of her, and said with a smile at the eldest grandson Changqing.
"There's Lao Li's mother!"
The eldest grandson Changqing said politely, and then walked in the direction of her finger.
The eldest grandson Changqing secretly thought, this street is not very long, she walked through one by one, and she could always find Cuiyuxuan. Who knew that this jade street was so long, the eldest grandson Changqing and Mrs. Li walked for a long time, but they didn't find a jade shop called "Cui Yuxuan".
After a few years of age, Mrs. Li's foot strength gradually couldn't keep up.
"Little ...... Miss, do you have any jade that you can look at? ”
Mrs. Li became more and more out of breath, reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, supported her knees with her hands, and rested in a half-squat.
Seeing that she seemed to be extremely tired, the eldest grandson Changqing didn't have much to do, so he casually pointed to a shop on the side of the street, pretending to like it very much: "I look at this house, it's pretty good, Mother Li, you can rest at the door for a while, I'll go in and take a look!" ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, secretly thinking that this eldest grandson is young, and her leg strength is good, and after shopping for so long, she is tired, she is like a person who has nothing to do, and she can't see that she is tired at all.
The eldest grandson Changqing entered the store, looked left and right a few times, and deliberately said loudly: "Shopkeeper, what is the best jade, bring it to me and see!" ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, knew that in addition to Mrs. Li, who was following him openly, in secret, Chu Xiuyuan must have let the innocent and traceless two also follow in the dark. Therefore, he deliberately shouted loudly twice in order to attract the attention of the two in the shadows.
When the shopkeeper turned around to take the jade, the eldest grandson Changqing gently grabbed a young lady who was looking at the jade pendant in the store, and asked softly, "Have you ever heard of Jade Xuan?" ”
The reason why the eldest grandson Changqing didn't dare to ask the shopkeeper openly was that he was worried that if someone checked it in the future, it would be too easy to be found, and if she just looked for a random passer-by to inquire about Cuiyuxuan, even if someone checked it in the future, where would this casually caught passer-by go to check?
"Jade Xuan? I know that it is a women's ready-to-wear store in the city, and I will be there when I turn right out of this jade street. ”
The young lady was very enthusiastic.
"By the way, I happen to be going to Jade Pavilion later, if Miss doesn't dislike it, you can go with us."
The young lady invited softly.
"It's okay, then I'll bother Miss!"
The eldest grandson Changqing looked happy, nodded busily, but secretly slandered inside, this Gu Yichu is really not a normal person, what kind of jade shop did a good garment store take, and it made her easy to find.
"This young lady, this is the treasure of our store, it is the best mutton fat jade, the whole street, but only I have it in this shop, of course, it is the price......"
Xu is look at the eldest grandson Changqing's generous words, and the shopkeeper was stunned to rummage through the cabinet and take out all the treasures at the bottom of the box.
"How much silver?"
Now the eldest grandson Changqing inquired about Cui Yuxuan, and he didn't bother to deal with the shopkeeper.
"One thousand taels."
The shopkeeper held out a finger and gestured.
"Okay!"
The eldest grandson Changqing happily took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and threw them to the shopkeeper neatly, anyway, this silver ticket was given by Chu Xiuyuan, so it won't be spent in vain!
It was the first time for the shopkeeper to see such a refreshing customer who gave the silver, and Le's mouth couldn't close. hurriedly put the mutton fat jade in the box, and then handed it to the eldest grandson Changqing.
After all, the eldest grandson Changqing is not an expert, and he doesn't know how to rely on it, but he feels that this jade is delicate and smooth to the touch, and there are no impurities when he looks at it, and the price is so expensive, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse! In the future, you can send it to the craftsman, and it is good to engrave a jade pendant or something!
The eldest grandson, Changqing, hugged the box and threw it to Mrs. Li, who was squatting outside the door to rest.
"I'm tired of Li's mother, I met a kind young lady, we hit it off at first sight, talked very happily, and made an appointment to go to the ready-to-wear store to see the ready-to-wear! If Mother Li is tired, you can go back to the house first, and your prince will definitely let others follow me. You can collect this jade for me, and send it to Biwuxuan after returning home! ”
After the eldest grandson Changqing finished speaking, he followed the young lady without looking back, anyway, she knew that innocence and tracelessness would not fall.
"Listening to Miss's accent, it must not be a person from Dongming, right?"
The young lady who invited Changsun Changqing to Jade Xuan took the initiative to ask.
"Miss, good ears! I'm from Beichen! When you first enter Dongming, dare to ask Miss your surname? ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, is also polite.
"My surname is Ruan, the small character Nanyan, I don't know what Miss is called?"
Ruan Nanyan also responded politely.
"Eldest grandson Changqing."
The eldest grandson, Changqing, tilted his head and smiled at her, and said frankly.
"Miss Eldest Sun is polite."
This Ruan Nanyan is polite and thoughtful, and it can be regarded as an official visit to President Sun Changqing.
"Surname Nguyen? As far as I know, there is only one family surnamed Ruan in this Dongming Kingdom, which is the maiden family of the Empress of Dongming Kingdom, and Miss Ruan is not ......"
The eldest grandson Changqing's face was pale, and he smiled, and said with a straight face.
"The queen mother is my young lady's aunt!"
Ruan Nanyan hadn't spoken yet, but the maid who followed on the side couldn't wait to show off.
The eldest grandson Changqing paused slightly, silently lowered his head and rolled his eyes: I really know how to find someone, and the passerby who caught it casually is actually the young lady of the Ruan family, it seems that he is really related to Chu Xiuyuan, a big family!
Seeing that the eldest grandson Changqing had not spoken for a long time, Ruan Nanyan thought that she was frightened by her maid's words, so she gently took the eldest grandson Changqing's hand and said softly: "Miss eldest grandson doesn't have to care, I am fortunate to meet today, and it is also fate!" ”
The eldest grandson Changqing silently rolled his eyes again in his heart, fate? I think it's a bad fate! It's just that she didn't show any emotion on her face, and only smiled softly at Ruan Nanyan: "Miss Ruan is too worried!" ”
"Miss Eldest Sun, look, this is Jade Xuan!"
Ruan Nanyan gently and softly called the eldest grandson Changqing who was in a fugue beside him, and even the eldest grandson Changqing and a woman listened to it, and their hearts were a little crispy.
The eldest grandson Changqing came back to his senses at this time, looked up at the ready-to-wear shop in front of him, his eyes flashed slightly, and his expression was unknown.
"Thank you, Miss Ruan, for showing the way! I have long heard that this jade Xuan brocade jade clothes are not comparable to ordinary ready-to-wear stores, and now it seems that it is really worth the trip! ”
In order not to make Ruan Nanyan suspicious, the eldest grandson Changqing casually recited a few nonsense.
"This Jade Pavilion is the largest ready-to-wear shop in the city, divided into two floors. Downstairs is to pick up some individual customers, are some ordinary clothes, upstairs are the families of the dignitaries specially customized clothes, the fabric workmanship, are all high-quality. I wonder where Miss Changsun wants to start? ”
Ruan Nanyan looked like she was introducing Jade Xuan to the eldest grandson Changqing, but in fact, she secretly measured it in her heart, and just then did she take out a silver ticket to buy jade, and she was generous and generous, and she didn't look like the daughter of an ordinary family.
"The dresses here look very exquisite!"
The eldest grandson, Changqing, a villain, how could he not understand the temptation between Ruan Nanyan's words?
"Why don't you do this, it's the first time I've come, and I'll see that these dresses are quite exquisite, so I'll start from the first floor! Miss Ruan, who is as beautiful and refined, noble and elegant, must have customized clothes on the second floor, if you go to the second floor to look at it first, I will look for you later. ”
Ruan Nanyan, a woman from all walks of life, can't look down on these ordinary clothes on the first floor, and she also said before that the families of dignitaries and nobles are all custom-made clothes on the second floor. Therefore, the eldest grandson Changqing took the initiative to speak, which not only gave her face, but also raised her identity, and the most important thing was to break her up.
When the eldest grandson Changqing said this, Ruan Nanyan's face also smiled a little more, in the end, she is a young lady, who doesn't like to be praised by others?
"It's okay, then Miss Changsun will go shopping first, and I'll go upstairs first."
After speaking, Ruan Nannan didn't bother much, took the maidservant, and turned upstairs.
The eldest grandson Changqing smiled and watched the two of them go upstairs, and out of the corner of his eye, he also caught a glimpse of the innocent and traceless two people guarding the door of the store, after all, this is a women's ready-to-wear shop, and it is inconvenient for them to come in. The eldest grandson Changqing looked around, reached out and took down a set of dresses, hid behind the curtain on the side and gestured the dress on his body a few times.
"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper's! What kind of clothes are you? I can't tie my belt! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing deliberately shouted loudly, and all the ladies and ladies who were looking at the clothes in the store were dissatisfied: I don't know whose girl it is, so ignorant of etiquette, it is really out of order to make such a loud noise in public!
When the shopkeeper who was trying on dresses for other ladies heard it, he thought that he was smashing the field again, and he was not annoyed in his heart, so he whispered a word to the lady. Then he turned around with a smile, twisted his waist, and walked towards the curtain where Changqing was standing.
"This young lady, but you can't tie your clothes? I'll show you! ”
This shopkeeper is an extremely soft woman, with a smile on her face, which makes the eldest grandson Changqing a little embarrassed, and it is really a bit rude for Shicai to call so loudly.
Seeing her footsteps approaching, the eldest grandson Changqing hurriedly pressed his fingers on his lips, signaling the shopkeeper not to make a sound, and then took out the jade pendant on his waist and lowered his voice: "I'm looking for Gu Yichu!" ”
The female shopkeeper caught a glimpse of the jade pendant in the hand of the eldest grandson Changqing, her eyes tightened, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.
She stared at the jade pendant, looked carefully and again repeatedly, and only after confirming that it was correct did she raise her eyes and look at Changsun Changqing, nodded slightly, and then deliberately said loudly: "This young lady, I'm really sorry!" It's the fault of our garment master, if you look at it, I will go to find the garment master to change it for you! ”
After the female shopkeeper finished speaking, she lifted the curtain and came out, and then took the hand of the eldest grandson Changqing with an apologetic face and said, "Miss go upstairs to rest first, and I will send someone to call the garment master!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled the eldest grandson Changqing upstairs.
The eldest grandson Changqing seemed to hesitate when he caught a glimpse of the innocence and tracelessness outside the shop, looking like he wanted to follow but didn't dare to follow, after all, this room full of women, for the conservative Dongming Kingdom, the two of them are really inconvenient to enter.
