Chapter 129: I Want to Do Business
"These earrings are pretty good, wrap them up." Wei Xiyue said.
"Well, it's really good-looking, and Miss Ben wants it too." A sweet voice sounded, and Pang Yaoyao was surrounded by a group of slaves, and her posture was very big.
"What? Are you deaf? Why don't you wrap the earrings up for our young lady! The maid standing beside Pang Yaoyao said menacingly.
The shopkeeper came out with rouge gouache, and saw that Pang Yaoyao's group of people deliberately wanted to embarrass Wei Xiyue and the others, and stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Don't worry, two young ladies, these earrings are there!" ”
Xiao Er, who was standing at the counter, had a sad face, "There is only this pair of earrings left." ”
The atmosphere was instantly frozen, and the shopkeeper looked left and right, and took out a few pairs of delicate and beautiful earrings.
"This pair of earrings is not good-looking, since there is only one pair left, our store is going to take this pair off the shelves, two young ladies forgive me." The shopkeeper smiled and asked the other person to take the earrings down.
"No, Miss Ben just took a fancy to those earrings, wrap them up for me!" Pang Yaoyao's tough attitude and her vow not to give up made the shopkeeper embarrassed.
The shopkeeper cast a distressed gaze to Wei Xiyue, Wei Xiyue calmly walked to the elegant seat, lifted her skirt and sat on it elegantly.
"Jubao Zhai can be regarded as a time-honored store in Beijing, should you not understand the rules of first come, first served? Blackie, go and bring me the gouache and rouge. ”
Wei Xiyue bent her eyebrows, raised her chin slightly, raised her left hand and leaned on the edge of the chair, looking at everyone playfully.
Pang Yaoyao's calm appearance made Pang Yaoyao a little angry, Wei Xiyue, who didn't understand the rules, dared to provoke her.
Pang Yaoyao skipped the shop junior and walked opposite Wei Xiyue and sat down.
said to Wei Xiyue: "I haven't settled the account with you last time Wei Xiyue was at the gate of the palace, and you still want to grab this pair of earrings with me today?" ”
Wei Xiyue's attitude was still cold, she raised her eyes, and said leisurely: "Miss Pang has been knowledgeable and sensible since she was a child, so naturally she will not be embarrassed by me as a reckless woman. ”
Wei Xiyue picked up a box of rouge, looked at the delicate red, touched a little with her index finger, and wiped it on the back of her hand. "The color is really good-looking, Xiao Hei, you go and bring those pair of earrings and take them all together."
"Are you deaf? Those earrings belong to our young lady! The maid pointed at Wei Xiyue.
Her hand was broken by the shadow in a second, and the crisp sound of fractures made people tremble, and then she was picked up by the shadow and thrown outside the door of Jubaozhai.
"Ahh The maid fell to the ground and screamed, attracting the attention of passers-by.
"Dirty ......" Shadow washed the hand that had touched the maid with tea, and stood back beside Wei Xiyue obediently.
Wei Xiyue was quite satisfied with Shadow's approach, and gave him two more oily chicken legs tonight.
"Heh, sure enough, what kind of master there is, what kind of dog slave there is." Pang Yaoyao said coldly, and two servants dragged the maid in.
At this time, the door was already full of small people watching the excitement.
The shopkeeper was sandwiched in the middle, full of gunpowder, and he was almost about to fight, on one side was his distinguished guest Pang Yaoyao, and on the other side was the newcomer Wei Xiyue, which was obviously biased towards Pang Yaoyao, but I didn't know how to see Wei Xiyue had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she didn't dare to offend easily, so she could only wait and see what happened for the time being.
"Miss Pang misunderstood, I said that I am a reckless man, then it is normal for the people around me to be more reckless than me, this Jubaozhai thing is really good, the price is slightly higher, it is more suitable for nouveau riche, people like me with clean sleeves, it is estimated that they will not come again." Wei Xiyue said.
Wei Xiyue compared Pang Yaoyao to an upstart, Pang Yaoyao overturned the tea table in front of her, and the shadow pulled the chair back, Wei Xiyue's skirt was not wet at all, but Pang Yaoyao's shoes and skirt were half wet.
Shadow took the earrings with great speed and packed them all, Wei Xiyue got up, dusted off her dress, and threw out a purse of silver.
This amount of money is not enough to pay the bill, the shopkeeper checked his purse, and wanted to speak, but after the shadow secretly revealed his waist card, the shopkeeper swallowed the words back.
With a lovely smile, he said to Wei Xiyue enthusiastically: "Miss, go slowly!" "Invited Wei Xiyue out in a proper manner.
Pang Yaoyao was deflated, and slapped the injured maid with her backhand, "Waste!" Angrily left Jubao Zhai.
Shadow held a rouge gouache in one hand and an oil-paper umbrella in the other, and the two left a row of jagged footprints on the snowy path.
This is not the way back to the Wei Mansion, where is Wei Xiyue going, the shadow didn't dare to ask her, so she kept following.
There was a shouting voice in the distance, "Sell glutinous rice chicken!" Sell glutinous rice chicken! Fragrant glutinous rice chicken! ”
Wei Xiyue stopped at a stall selling glutinous rice chicken, bought a few servings of glutinous rice chicken, and then walked in the direction of Weifu.
Shadow asked, "Why didn't you buy the glutinous rice chicken there when you passed by Xian Mei Pavilion just now, and you had to buy it at this remote stall?" ”
He guessed that he must have just spent a sum of money in Jubao Zhai, and his money was tight, and the things in Xian Mei Pavilion were also notoriously expensive.
"Xiaoyun said that she wants to eat glutinous rice chicken from Sixiang Hutong, I'll buy her some." Wei Xiyue tightened the cloak on her body, and the fluffy scarf covered half of her little face.
This spicy chicken body is really pampered after returning to Beijing, and he can't stand the cold, in the past, in the cold weather, Wei Xiyue insisted on practicing every day, and he could catch fish in the cold river.
There was an inexplicable warm current of emotion that passed through the heart of the shadow, before he was sent to protect Wei Xiyue, he also knew her information well, and the origin of the slaves around him was also clear.
Xiaoyun was just a maid bought by Wei Xiyue when she first entered Beijing, and she happened to be bought by Wei Xiyue, what the shadow didn't expect was a casual remark from a little girl, Wei Xiyue actually took it to heart.
She was already afraid of the cold, and she walked so far on foot just to buy a few servings of her favorite glutinous rice chicken.
The Shadow's heart is unconsciously being co-opted by Wei Xiyue, suspecting that her intelligence is wrong, it says that Wei Xiyue is a resourceful female general who is not good at scheming, but is it really so?
After dinner, Wei Xiyue lay on the desk, holding a brush in her hand and scribbling around there very seriously.
"All the plans are done, the rest is a matter of money, if you want to get money from the old lady, it's not easy, she can't spit it out at all, what should I do?" Wei Xiyue is in trouble.
"Little Black come out!" As soon as Wei Xiyue shouted, the shadow knocked on the door outside, and then came in.
The shadow has a black line, and it looks like his name has been tampered with by Wei Xiyue, to be honest, this little black character is like a little earth dog at the edge of the village.
"Miss Wei, you look for me."
"Let's go, let's go to Huo Lingxiao to borrow money." Wei Xiyue rolled up two pieces of paper and put them in a bamboo tube.
With the shadow, she can enter and exit the Three Princes' Mansion at will, and can quickly find Huo Lingxiao's location.
The moment the shadow entered the mansion with Wei Xiyue, Qingying flew non-stop to find Huo Lingxiao.
"Miss Wei is here, brought by the shadows." Qingying said outside the door.
Huo Lingxiao had just gotten on the bed, and when he heard that Wei Xiyue was coming to him, he immediately got up and put on his clothes, combed a beautiful hairstyle by the way, and sat in the room waiting for her.
The shadow took Wei Xiyue to Huo Lingxiao's room, he retreated, and after Qingying opened the door, he stepped forward and said, "The master is waiting for you inside." ”
Wei Xiyue nodded, raised her legs and walked in, and Qingying closed the door.
A burst of heating rushed towards Wei Xiyue, and the veins of her limbs felt particularly comfortable, and Wei Xiyue was actually a little sleepy.
"What do you use in this house? Why is it so warm? Wei Xiyue asked.
"Maybe this room has good feng shui, and I often come to live if I like it." Huo Lingxiao had something to say, and he wished that Wei Xiyue could move in immediately.
"It's not good, it's too big to move your house, so it's better to leave it to yourself to live slowly." Wei Xiyue sat down, took a sip of hot tea, and began to carefully look at Huo Lingxiao's room.
The interior of the room looks simple and low-key luxury, and all the furniture is carved from fine rosewood, and each place has a thin and delicate dark pattern. That cold white circulating jade bed is an unattainable precious jade, and a piece of cold white circulating jade as big as an egg on the outside will be sold for a sky-high price, even measured in ten thousand taels of gold.
Huo Lingxiao's house is actually used to make a bed, the key is that this bed is very big, it must be made of tens of millions of taels of gold, which is no different from sleeping in a golden bump.
"You like this bed? It's not worth any money, don't you send it either? Huo Lingxiao watched Wei Xiyue staring at his bed, and he was fascinated.
Wei Xiyue didn't speak, looking at the paintings hanging on the wall, each painting is extinct, and it is a set, how difficult it is to get together, Wei Xiyue is really amazed by Huo Lingxiao's strong family background.
Look at those vase ornaments again, everything is worth a thousand gold, Wei Xiyue looked down at the teacup, it was a celadon cup fired in Ruzhou kiln, but no one continued to make this kind of blue and white cup anymore, because the technique had been lost.
Wei Xiyue really felt that she had fallen into the golden nest, and opened her mouth and said, "Huo Lingxiao, I'm going to borrow five thousand taels from you, isn't it?" I plan to open a shop in the capital, otherwise with the old lady's expenses, sooner or later the Wei family's wealth will be emptied, and I don't want to be unable to even afford to eat at that time. ”
"Is 5,000 taels possible?" Huo Lingxiao frowned, Wei Xiyue looked down on herself?
actually only borrowed 5,000 taels from himself, how could he get 100,000 taels to get this value
"Five thousand taels is enough, to borrow or not to borrow in a word! I also brought an IOU today, and if you don't borrow it, you have to borrow it! ”
Wei Xiyue took out the bamboo tube from her sleeve, took out the IOU, spread it on the tea table, signed her name on the dragon flying phoenix dance, and stamped it with a small handprint.
Huo Lingxiao glanced at it, but he really didn't want to attack Wei Xiyue's handwriting.
