036 Loser
Walking to the door of the silver building, Qiao Ximei took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and gently supported the wooden hairpin on her head.
Picked up the shelf of the big patron and walked into the silver building.
Although she doesn't actually plan to buy anything, this momentum is not false at all.
Even if he is the kind of guy who judges people by his appearance, when he sees her attitude, he must not dare to underestimate her.
There were exactly two groups of guests in the silver building.
One set is a middle-aged woman wearing gold and silver, with a few little ladies with flowers and branches, and she is picking and choosing in front of a bracelet inlaid with gold and jade.
On the other side was a young couple, hesitant to shake at the two golden steps.
The two are obviously newly married, and it is the time when they are like glue.
Say a word, and don't forget to give each other a look.
Qiao Ximei looked at the jewelry in the hands of the two groups of them from a distance, and shook her head disappreciatively.
The little guy who was in charge of entertaining Qiao Ximei, since Qiao Ximei entered the silver building, his eyes have never left Qiao Ximei.
From head to toe, he looked at her carefully for a long time.
The young man felt that she was dressed like a guest of the Silver Building.
But looking at her calm appearance, she didn't dare to be contemptuous.
After settling her down and resting, and serving her tea, he said no more.
At this time, seeing Qiao Ximei shaking her head at the jewelry that had been put out, she hurriedly piled up a smile and asked:
"This lady, dare to ask about these jewelry, but you haven't even taken a fancy to them?"
Qiao Ximei nodded.
Asked nonchalantly:
"Do you have a pearly face?"
The young man immediately became attentive:
"If you want to say that we are Baoqingfeng, but in the county's silver building, it is one of the best time-honored brands.
Although this pearl head is rare, the small shop happens to have two new sets.
I'm going to fetch it for you to appreciate? ”
Qiao Ximei bowed slightly, and Xiao Er said, "Wait a minute." Ran away in a puff of smoke.
Soon, Xiao Er took a large tray with both hands, walked out from the second floor, went down the stairs step by step, and carefully placed the tray in front of Qiao Ximei for her to watch.
What Xiao Er said to Qiao Ximei is that there are two heads, but in fact, they are not complete.
On the tray, there is a crown of jewel-inlaid pearls and emerald gold, a phoenix nodding and filigree gold swaying, a pair of bright moons, a pair of bead-inlaid glazed gold and silver silk bracelets, a pearl-inlaid comb grate, and two bead-inlaid rings.
Qiao Ximei carefully looked at each piece of jewelry.
The crystal moist, but only dozens of small pearls the size of mung beans, made Qiao Ximei show a very satisfied smile.
Xiao Er suddenly felt that the guest in front of him was simply hidden.
He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked:
"Auntie, may I ask which one do you fancy here? If you buy sincerely, the store will give you a cost price.
This crown is so beautiful that it is enough to be a family heirloom, and it only costs three hundred taels of silver.
This golden step shake only costs one hundred and fifty taels. This bright moon is only eighty taels. This pair of silk bracelets ......"
Seeing that the joy on Qiao Ximei's face was even worse, Xiao Er paused, not daring to say any more.
This old woman, there shouldn't be something wrong with her, right?
How did you hear this price, not only is it not too expensive, but it looks like you have found a treasure?
Am I getting a cheap price at this price? But this price has been set by the shopkeeper a long time ago!
Not to mention how the young man was so upset, Qiao Ximei pointed to the tray and said to the young man with a smile:
"Good boy, you put these away first.
Please give the shopkeeper a message, I have a business here, and I want to talk to the shopkeeper. ”
In a place like Yinlou, there are all kinds of guests that are received every day.
I looked at the goods in the whole store, but in the end, I didn't even buy the most worthless copper gilt ring, but this and that, and there were a lot of people who picked a lot of faults.
It's really rare to just talk to the shopkeeper about business.
Xiao Er didn't dare to slack off, took the tray away carefully, and after half a cup of tea, he led a lean old man with gray hair and a goatee to Qiao Ximei.
The two sides were courteous and polite to each other, and the old man invited Qiao Ximei upstairs to talk in detail.
Qiao Ximei thought about it for a while, and then readily agreed.
……
Outside the safe door.
Two teenagers, one tall and one short, are discussing with the pawn who collects the city fee:
"This military master, our brothers and sons are penniless, only these two baskets of wild mushrooms, and they also point to it to exchange a few copper plates and buy a little rice grain. Why don't you raise your hands and let us go first? ”
The pawn was expressionless, and replied coldly:
"Rules are rules, and no one is exempt. If you don't pay the entrance fee, you can't enter the city. ”
The little brother hesitated for a while, then exchanged heads and muttered for a while.
The one with the big head and the short head took out a fragrant oiled paper bag from the placket of his coat, and handed it to the pawn guarding the door of peace:
"This military brother, we really don't have any money.
In addition to these two baskets of wild mushrooms, this wheat cake is all our belongings.
Do you think you can use this to offset the city fee? ”
The boy was big and short, but his eyes were dark, watery, and shiny, like two black grapes.
Being stared at by these eyes, I can't help but soften my heart inexplicably.
The pawn guarding the city saw that no one was going to enter the city at this time, and his boss was not there, and he really couldn't resist those wet eyes, so he waved his hand impatiently:
"Forget it, let's go inside! This time, let's not take it as an example! ”
Although his tone was impatient, he did not ask for the fragrant cake in the young man's hand.
The big and short young man immediately responded happily and issued a good person card to the pawn guarding the city:
"Brother Xie Junye! Big brother is such a good person! Good people are rewarded! Many happy returns! ”
While saying crisply, another young man with the thin willow strip was pulled, and ran into the peace gate like a child.
After running in high spirits for a while, the two of them gradually slowed down and walked leisurely instead.
The young man with the tall willow frowned slightly:
"Sister Xin, why don't we go back? I still don't think you're a good idea. ”
The "boy" with a big head and a short body waved his hand nonchalantly:
"Big brother, it's all here, it's not bad for a while.
Besides, didn't we say before, you have to call me second brother outside? ”
The tall "boy" with thin willows still frowned:
"But if you really want to do what you say, won't it be too much of a loser?
You can't hold the fire in the paper. Sooner or later, the family will find out about it.
When the time comes, we will be able to keep our butts blooming. ”
"Hehe, that can't be, I'll take you out when the time comes."
"Pull it down! Is that what I mean? ”
The two "teenagers" held their arms and looked at the shops and stalls on both sides of the street, walking among the bustling crowd, and did not forget to whisper their mouths all the way.
The black-faced young man with thin willows and tall strips is Li Yunrou.
And the yellow-faced boy with a big head and a short body is Li Yunxin.
Qiao Ximei took Li Xiren and Li Xixian out of the door with her front foot, and the two sisters took Li Xixian's old clothes on the back foot and dressed up as two male babies. I walked all the way to the town.
