Chapter 47: Careful Selection
Yunhua and Zhuoran jumped out of the car first and hugged the two children down, Ou Jinshu was at the end, and was about to jump down, Li Zhuoran stretched out his hand to her frankly, intending to pull her. Ou Jinshu was stunned for a moment, smiled and put his hand in Li Zhuoran's hand, and in an instant, the two of them only felt that their hearts were like a wild drum, like five hundred Arhats doing magic deeds, and the sky was dark.
The sound of the drum was like thunder, so that Li Zhuoran almost lost his soul, and his hand only dared to stretch out stiffly, not daring to sneer at the slightest point of clotted fat on his palm. Ou Jinshu's cheeks were already crimson, and he hurriedly jumped off the carriage with the strength of Li Zhuoran's hand, and walked into Yijintang in a few quick steps, leaving his back to the people behind, and Li Zhuoran followed behind like a ghost.
Yunhua didn't notice the strangeness of Ou Jinshu and Li Zhuoran, but just ordered the handlebar to go across the road and wait, and when he turned around, he found that only Qiuqiu was left by his side, and asked, "What about them?" Qiuqiu was sincere, pointed at Yijintang and said, "Ran inside." Yunhua smiled: "They're quite fast, let's go in too." As he spoke, he picked up Qiuqiu and walked into the gate of Yijintang.
Ou Jinshu was inside, looking down and touching a piece of daylily yellow satin, while listening to a guy in his twenties talking about how fashionable this color was, and which people in the city bought it in large cars. Li Zhuoran stood aside with a smile, also went up to touch the piece of silk, and told Ou Jinshu about his feelings, and the two of them stood together, like an ordinary little couple who came out to buy.
The guy was talking, and suddenly raised his eyes and saw Zhang Yunhua, and he was stunned as if he had been beaten, and said, "Zhang... Zhang Gongzi, how many years have you not seen, what wind blew you here? Yunhua said: "Just passing by, come and have a look with friends." The guy hurriedly shouted back: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, Zhang Gongzi is here." "It turned out that there was a small door behind the counter in front of the shopkeeper's room, and only a cyan curtain hung to separate the inside and outside. As soon as the man's words fell, there was some movement inside, and then the door curtain moved, and a pleasant old man came out of it.
When the old man saw Zhang Yunhua, although his face was not full of surprise like his buddy, his eyes widened slightly, and it seemed that he never expected Yunhua to suddenly come to the door. Yun Hua saw the old man and arched his hand: "Mr. Ge, don't come to harm?" The old gentleman hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Thanks to the son, the old man is in good health and can still eat." With that, he led Yunhua to sit down at the Eight Immortals table under the east window. As soon as the other young men in the store saw the shopkeeper personally welcoming them out, they all knew that they were coming to the distinguished guest, so they were busy serving tea and pouring water, beckoning Li Zhuoran and Ou Jinshu to sit down together, and bringing snacks to Qiuqiu to eat.
Qiuqiu pinched a piece of osmanthus crisp, leaned on Yunhua's side and ate it, heard him and Mr. Ge introduce Ou Jinshu and Li Zhuoran, and said a few words, the old gentleman said: "This year's Salesian Bureau's clothing, the eldest master has sent Steward Zhou to choose it, and it will be sent to the house when it is ready in the past few days. Yunhua took a sip of tea and said, "I'm not here for this matter, I'm here to choose some winter clothes for a friend." ”
Mr. Ge nodded again and again, pointed to the counter in the west and said: "Childe is here, the cabinet in the west is all this year's new style, but the bulk is still on the way, it will arrive in a few days, only a few horses will come first, if Childe is optimistic about the urgency, I will use these to make it for Childe first, if not in a hurry, I will wait for those on the road." Yun Hua looked at Mr. Ge's finger and said slowly, "I'll take a look at the color first." ”
When a few guys on the counter heard this, they immediately moved the silk and satin one by one and placed them on the table of the Eight Immortals. Qiuqiu hurriedly ate the osmanthus cake in his hand, wiped his hands on his clothes, and stepped forward to take a look. In front of the splendid horses, all glowing with the light of the water or the glow of the sun, soft and gorgeous, and on different colors, with a chain, turtle back, 10,000 characters and other geometric patterns as the skeleton, filled with different folded branches of flowers and birds, eight immortals and eight treasures, Rui beast Ruyi pattern, densely paved, each pattern is exquisite, the color is magnificent, it is dizzying to see, dazzling.
Yun Hua glanced at it, pointed to a hibiscus-colored phoenix pattern brocade and asked, "Can this style be dense?" Ge Laoxian cut off the corner of this horse, took it to Yunhua and said: "Childe has good eyesight, this brocade woven with three warps and four wefts of silkworm silk is transported from Gusu, and it is more precise and delicate than ordinary satin with two warps and three wefts, and it is very thick. You touch it, it is rare to have such a soft and wide material in the heavy brocade, and the jacquard of this mud gold group phoenix pattern is refined with raw silk, which looks lifelike, and there are wavy scales on the face, and the feel is excellent. ”
Yunhua touched the corner of the material, looked carefully in the bright light under the window, handed the fabric to Ou Jinshu, and said: "It's really good, but this bottom warp is a lot, and the twisted gold thread is also used a lot, and the luster is too dazzling, not suitable for daily wear." Mr. Ge said: "What the son said is good, but now it is fashionable in Gusu to wear such a dazzling brocade, when wearing such a dazzling brocade, he likes to use plain silk yarn as a watch, and after sewing, cover the outside, the luster inside will naturally be blocked, but the pattern is looming, very elegant." ”
Ou Jinshu listened to it and said: "It's the first time I've heard of such a novel style, and the silk yarn sounds fresh and interesting." Mr. Ge smiled and said, "The girl might as well try it out, if it doesn't look good on it, the small shop won't charge a penny." After hearing this, Ou Jinshu also happily picked it up. Yunhua asked Ou Jinshu's opinion, and asked a few other color styles, and carefully selected, selected the lotus lotus color Ruyi peony pattern, the soft pink sixteen goldfish bittail pattern, and the ethereal flower peacock pattern, etc., and selected a real red Tianma pattern brocade for Ximen March, and asked Mr. Ge to choose the yarn for each.
Qiuqiu followed Ou Jinshu to choose among the various styles, almost dazzling, Yunhua said to her: "Pick slowly, don't worry." Mr. Ge had just noticed Qiuqiu, and asked with a smile, "I don't know how old this sister of the Gongzi family is this year." Yun Hua said modestly: "The idiot has grown to eight years old" Mr. Ge nodded and said: "I haven't seen my son for many years, but I didn't expect my child's children to be so old." Yunhua smiled and said: "I am also entangled in affairs, and I have not been idle, and I have been free to come to Lin'an in the past two days." ”
Qiuqiu listened on the sidelines, wondering why Yunhua wanted to acquiesce to being his child, and raised his eyes to look over. Yun Hua met Qiuqiu's gaze, and said to Mr. Ge with a smile: "Later, I will trouble Mr. Ge to find a tailor to measure the size of this child and make a few ready-to-wear clothes." Mr. Ge asked, "Do you have to do all these things that have been chosen?" Yunhua said: "No, the ones just selected should each be three whole horses, and the ones that the children will choose will be done separately." This girl and the son's are also counted in my account. ”
After hearing this, Ou Jinshu smiled and said, "Then let Brother Yunhua break the bank." Li Zhuoran said on the side: "Yunhua, no, you don't have to worry about the two of us." Yunhua knew Li Zhuoran's personality, and seeing that there were no other customers in the hall at the moment, he said to him: "Zhuoran doesn't know, Mr. Ge's Yijintang has always only accepted regular customers, hung the general ledger, and does not accept cash, even if you bring silver, you can't buy it here." After that, he exchanged glances with Mr. Ge.
