Dekashiwa (1)
On the day of going to Jinhuazhuang, Bai Ziyi and Bai Ziren prepared a car early in the morning and accompanied the ladies of the house to set off. Zheng Zhi, Bai Zifei and Bai Ziren sat in a car, while Zheng Rui was with Bai Ziyi and Aunt Qian.
Bai Zifei, who finally went out, was as excited as a bird along the way, pestering Bai Ziren to buy osmanthus glutinous rice dumplings on the side of the road, and then asking him to buy a kite to insert in front of the car. Bai Ziren, who has not stopped since getting on the car, wiped the sweat on his forehead, sighed and said to Bai Zifei: "Zifei, let's be quiet, you see that the eldest brother and their carriage have left us far away, we have to catch up quickly." ”
Bai Zifei pouted unhappily: "It's hard for me to go to the house, just let me have fun!" Big brother will definitely wait for me then. ”
Bai Ziren was helpless, and turned to look at Zheng Zhi, who had been sitting quietly and didn't talk much, and said, "My sister is so naughty, so my second sister-in-law has also lost time." “
Zheng Zhi looked at Bai Zifei, who was looking at her aggrieved at the moment, and smiled, "I'm not in a hurry left and right, so it's okay to stop and go." By the way, the osmanthus glutinous rice dumplings that the second son bought just now are delicious. She really didn't want to be in a hurry, and the glutinous rice dumplings were really delicious, and she was telling the truth.
Bai Ziren was stunned for a while, he didn't expect Zheng Zhi to say these words with such a look, but he was a little embarrassed and turned his head.
And Bai Zifei naturally cheered happily, and began to buy all kinds of delicious and fun things even harder, and the originally spacious carriage was filled with all kinds of snacks and gadgets after a while. The most pitiful is Bai Ziren, he was originally sitting alone on one side, but now he was squeezed into a corner of the carriage, and all the snacks next to him were Bai Zifei's snacks. He looked pitifully at a bunch of those things sitting on their lapses, which was really funny, making Bai Zifei and Zheng Zhi laugh. Bai Ziren was not annoyed, but was stunned when he saw Zheng Zhi's smile on the other side.
When they arrived at Jinhuazhuang, the shopkeeper was already waiting outside. Bai Ziren stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, take out all the new silk and satin this year and let the young lady pick it out." “
The shopkeeper of the king was about forty years old, he bowed his head and half bowed, at this time he smiled so that wrinkles appeared on his face, and his eyes, which were originally not big, now looked smaller, "Back to the second son, the eldest prince has already ordered the villain to take out all the new fine silks, just wait for the young lady to go in and pick them up." Bai Ziren was originally full of style, but he seemed a little deflated after hearing the shopkeeper's words.
Jinhuazhuang is worthy of being the most prestigious silk shop in Nanzhili, and in the store that can accommodate 100 people at the same time, there are thousands of different colors and grades of silk on the carved rosewood counter. The shop is divided into two floors, the lower floor is a place for ordinary customers to choose, and the upper floor is an exclusive place for dignitaries. Shopkeeper Wang led Zheng Zhi and them to a gorgeous room on the upper floor. When I opened the door, I saw Aunt Qian tasting a few pieces of silk with Zheng Rui with great interest, while Bai Ziyi was sitting alone drinking tea.
When Zheng Zhi entered the door, Bai Ziyi glanced at her quietly and quickly.
Aunt Qian, who heard the movement, saw Zheng Zhi and the others coming, and immediately said in an exaggerated voice: "Oh, I said Zheng Zhi, why did you come so late, every time you let us wait, you see that Rui'er and I are about to finish the election." As he spoke, he stroked the silk in front of him with his hand, and seemed to be very satisfied.
The silk in front of Aunt Qian and them is mostly gorgeous and noble, and the colors that Aunt Qian and Zheng Rui like to wear are very similar.
Bai Ziyi, who had been sitting before, seemed to have finished tasting tea at this time, stood up and circled around the silk in front of Aunt Qian, and praised: "The colors chosen by Aunt and Rui'er are the most popular this year, and they are really good-looking, I will let someone help you wrap them up in a while." “
Aunt Qian smiled red after hearing this, but she still had to say: "The silk in our shop is the best and most popular in Nanzhili, so ah, it looks good to pick anything." As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Ziyi, who smiled gently and noncommittally.
Zheng Zhi found that every time Aunt Qian spoke, Bai Zifei, who had always been lively and talkative, would be extremely quiet. At this time, her expression was indifferent, looking down at the ground, Zheng Zhi couldn't see her eyes clearly. Bai Ziren, who was standing next to him, gently patted Bai Zifei at this time and said, "My good sister, you are clamoring to pick up silk, now you can pick it to your heart's content." “
Only then did Bai Zifei raise her face, her face returned to her usual innocence, and she pulled Zheng Zhi and said, "Second sister-in-law, let's go and choose it too." “
Zheng Zhi nodded to Bai Zifei, then looked at Aunt Qian apologetically, and said, "Aunt Qian, I'm sorry, it's all my chronic son who is easy to delay the hour." If you and Sister Rui'er have already selected the silk, if you are bored here, you don't have to wait for me, and my temperament may have to be rubbed for a while. “
Aunt Qian is happy to go back early, and she has to order someone to make clothes early and wear them. But Zheng Rui and Bai Ziyi stayed separately, Zheng Rui said that she would accompany Zheng Zhi to pick patterns, on the grounds that Zheng Zhi's clothes were plain and unsightly. And Bai Ziyi said that he wanted to take a look at Jinhuazhuang's accounts before leaving.
Zheng Zhi has been in Jinhuazhuang for an hour. Today, she has a lot of requirements for silk. One will say that the color is too bright for her, and the other will say that the color is too dull to tell her skin color. The guy with the silk in the shop has already run back and forth between the first and second floors more than 20 times, hoping that this aunt will have a piece of material for his eye. Even Bai Zifei, who usually has a bit of a big lady's temper, looked at Zheng Zhi's posture and her eyes were a little straight, and when she took the buddy to get the thirtieth silk, she quietly asked, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you today?" I don't know if you're so picky about satin fabrics? “
Zheng Zhi smiled awkwardly, and only said, "I don't know why, I just didn't see what I liked." “
Zheng Rui, who had been watching coldly for a long time, also came over at this time, "Sister, you have to pick a good one, it is difficult to find the right color to call you at this figure, but I believe that in this Jinhuazhuang, there is always a gorgeous silk that can make you more beautiful." “
Zheng Zhi was depressed for a long time after listening to it, and even fools could hear that Zheng Rui was sarcastic about her figure. But then again, why did Zheng Rui wait here, she stayed here to help her make a reference, but she just kept watching from the sidelines.
Zheng Zhi looked at the sun outside, and she began to feel anxious. She had to find a way to get out first. Since she was so messing around, they didn't leave, so she had to go.
After looking at the two more satins, Zheng Zhi randomly chose a tender green silk and said, "It looks like this one is good." “
After Zheng Zhi finished speaking, Zheng Rui glanced at the silk she had picked, and the corners of her mouth skimmed up disdainfully. Zheng Zhi couldn't take care of so much, she said to Bai Ziyi, who was still reading the account book: "The concubine has already selected the silk, if the princess still has something to do, the concubine will not bother." “
Bai Ziyi didn't look at her or speak, Zheng Zhi had begun to get used to Bai Ziyi's attitude towards her now. She was about to make a good salute and leave, but Bai Ziyi spoke: "It's just right, I also finished reading the accounts." I'll go back with you. “
Zheng Zhi suddenly beat her chest in her heart, how much she wished she could stay with Bai Ziyi, but not now.
When she was thinking about how to answer, Zheng Rui didn't know when she would come over, and she said softly to Bai Ziyi: "Xianggong, I'm going back too." Let's take the car we came, my sister's car is loaded with too many things to sit in. “
Bai Ziyi thought for a while and said, "Then Zheng Zhi, you and we will take a car." “
Zheng Zhi felt that the green tendons on her forehead jumped suddenly, she looked at Bai Zifei who was still unsatisfied with the desire to move a small half of the silk in Jinhuazhuang back, and then said to Bai Ziyi: "Let's let the third lady and the second son sit in your car, and I'll squeeze in the carriage behind." Bai Ziyi's dark eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything more.
