Chapter 90: Why Look Down on Merchants?
It's this Yuru, people want to marry her as soon as possible.
In Yuzhu's heart, she was envious and a little jealous.
After getting out of the school, the three of them went out in the same carriage.
Yu Qiao naturally led Yuru to Wenjia Buzhuang and picked up good materials.
This servant of the Wen family, I heard that she is a young lady from the Song Mansion, is extremely respectful and polite. I think it was explained by Mr. Wen.
After choosing the material, I went to the Wen family to make clothes and measure my body.
Yu Qiao sat bored, holding the teacup in his hand and playing with it.
Last night, Steward Tao sent someone to reply, Fuxi's concubine Sheng Niangzi was born beautiful, and Pingsuli loved clothes and jewelry, and liked to go to two places, one was the Wen family's clothing, and the other was the Golden Jade Pavilion.
I want to come to this blessing to make a lot of oil and water over the years, and I can already afford Sheng Niangzi to wear gold and silver.
After Yuru Yuzhu measured her body, Yu Qiao proposed to go to the Golden Jade Pavilion to see the jewelry. The two young ladies naturally responded cheerfully.
The streets are bustling. It has just been the summer solstice, the weather is moderately hot and cold, and the women on the street are all showing flowers and branches, and their dresses are flying.
The women of the Tang Dynasty loved bright colors, their breasts were half exposed, and their shawls were fluttering, which was a good scenery in the world.
Walking slowly all the way, you can see the door plaque signboard of the Golden Jade Pavilion from afar. The vermilion gate with six open streets is a scene of wealth and nobility.
Yuru's face was overjoyed, looking at the future husband's family having such a shop in the capital, she would naturally have a good life in the future.
walked in, and the guys hurriedly greeted each other. Yuru was naturally not polite, but just said solemnly: "We are the young lady of the Song Mansion." ”
When the guys heard this, they didn't dare to slack off. He led them to sit down, and called the treasurer.
The bear shopkeeper is an old man in his sixties, with a kind face, reading glasses on the wings of his nose, and he is even more joyful, which makes Yu Qiao almost unable to hold back his laughter.
The bear shopkeeper is the old man of the Golden Jade Pavilion, and when he heard that he was the young lady of the Song Mansion, he was naturally able to call the shots.
Then he said: "Ladies just watch, if you like it, I will send someone to wrap it, and it should be a meeting gift from the Golden Jade Pavilion to all the young ladies." ”
Yuru was even more happy, and said to Yuzhu: "Sister Zhu can pick whatever she likes, you usually like these objects." ”
said to Yu Qiao again: "You are still young, but you can also pick some that you will use in the future." ”
A few people were still happy, so they stood up and walked to the counter to choose jewelry.
Some of the women next to them were dressed in fancy clothes, and they were also the wives and aunts of wealthy families, most of them were frequent visitors here, and they knew each other as soon as they came and went, so they not only greeted and laughed, but also tried their best to show off their wealth by the way.
It's nothing more than that I have a set of new jewelry here......
I think my sister, this hairpin on your head looks good......
I see that your earrings are exquisite, sister......
Yu Qiao listened attentively.
Throughout the ages, women have been evolving, but the only thing that has not evolved is the broken mouth of the Zhang family, and this primitive preference is deeply rooted in the bones of women.
Sure enough, I heard a woman say: "Yesterday was a joy, the Sheng lady looked at a golden hairpin here, and grinded with the shopkeeper for two hours, and finally couldn't take out the silver, and the disappointed look was really pitiful." ”
Another woman smiled and said, "That kind of concubine room with a small family loves face the most." I have to come to this Golden Jade Pavilion to hang out once every three or two days, and every time I put my heart into buying something, I have to cramp my face with pain. and most like to find people to gossip, looking forward to the relationship with the noble woman, who really looks at her in the eyes. ”
Someone else joined the topic and lowered his voice: "It is said that she was the personal maid of Miss Zeng in the palace of the secretary and supervisor Zeng, and she was somehow given Fuxi as a concubine. That Fuxi was originally the shopkeeper of Fuguxuan, but it was actually a relative of Lord Zeng? Although Fuxi has a good salary in Jibaotang, he can't resist Sheng Niangzi's squandering like this after all, but I'm afraid that the original life will be more difficult. ”
Another said: "Na Fuxi is not a good man, and it is always shameful to turn his back on the old master." Isn't it, that Jibao Hall was opened by Lord Zeng's family? ”
"Shhhh Be quiet. You are not ignorant that a merchant shall not sit side by side with his courtiers and gentlemen, or eat and eat together. Although we are all wealthy and wealthy, we have always been despised by the literati of the imperial court. How can officials in the DPRK and China secretly do business? ”
Wipe! Yu Qiao scolded secretly. For generations, businessmen have promoted the economic development of society, and many dynasties have looked down on businessmen.
The twentieth century was wiser......
The secretary and supervisor Zeng, she wrote it down!
Although Jin Yuge said that he was a gift, Yuzhu still only picked a gold bracelet, and Yuqiao picked a golden hairpin. Yuru was even more cautious and picked a pair of white jade earrings.
But the shopkeeper is indeed a kind person, it can be seen that the Gu family has a lot of praise for the Song family in their words on weekdays, and they wrapped three boxes early and gave each of the three young ladies a box of fine jewelry.
The three of them couldn't shirk it, so they took it.
thought that with Yuru's temperament, he would show off his arrogance. But she said gently: "The Gu family can afford us, take these things back and let grandmother keep them." ”
Yuzhu chimed in: "It's indeed too valuable, give it to grandmother for safekeeping, and grandmother will distribute it reasonably in the future." ”
Although everyone has their own personality, it is the blood of the Song family.
Yu Qiao smiled. There are many feelings and joys in my heart.
She played with the golden hairpin she had chosen, and it was useful to choose it. The gaze narrowed.
After lunch on the second day, she took Cui'er out of the house.
Fuxi's courtyard was at the very edge of the East Market, and it was at the end of the walk that I saw a small courtyard.
Although the courtyard is inconspicuous, it is not easy to think of a peasant whose family is extremely poor and needs to sell his body to bury his father, and it is not easy to set up such a small courtyard in the capital.
Cui'er knocked on the door, and a woman in a coarse cloth shirt opened the door, first looked at the two of them for a long time, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Is it the wrong door? ”
I guess there's never been a visitor here.
Cui'er replied, "My young lady visited your family. ”
The girl hurriedly let them into the house, closed the courtyard door, and led them to the main house of the courtyard.
The room is also clean, and there are some antique ornaments. At first glance, it can be regarded as a petty bourgeois family.
Sheng Niangzi was crooked on the soft couch, holding a bunch of grapes in her hand, and sending them to her mouth one by one.
Seeing someone coming in, he quickly got up and sat down and put on a dignified posture.
Yu Qiao didn't need the girl to speak, gave ten thousand blessings, and said, "Meet Mrs. Sheng." ”
Sheng Niangzi looked at the comer. A Suzhou embroidered satin skirt, sprinkled with gold and silver, shiny. There are some beaded flowers on the head, especially a pearl, faintly shining. A string of pearls on the neck, round and full, not ordinary.
Although she was born as a maid, she has seen a lot since she was a child, and she has a few insights.
