Chapter 5 A Chance Encounter with Wei Ke

I have long heard that the jewelry of Baohua Building is novel and exquisite, and it is highly sought after by women in the city. It just so happened that I had arrived, so I naturally wanted to take a look!

When I arrived, I found that this Baohua Building is really different from other jewelry stores, the architectural style is quite Western style, the store is very large, and there are many customers.

"It seems to be a shop opened by a native of the Western Regions! I don't know if the shopkeeper can speak Chinese, it would be a pity if he was a mouthful of "nonsense"! ”

The two talked quietly, and when they walked inside, they found that they were thinking too much, and all the young men with clear eyebrows inside were Han people.

Seeing them coming, a young man led by him hurriedly stepped forward, glanced at the two of them slightly, and said to Cheng Xiangjin enthusiastically: "What does the little lady want to pick?" The jewelry we have here is made of the best gemstones in the Western Regions, such as beads, hairpins, bracelets, and rings! The guy walked while talking with a friendly face, and quickly led Cheng Xiangjin and the others to the counter.

Cheng Xiangjin looked at it one by one with the guys, and it was indeed as he said, the style was novel and chic, and there was everything. It's just that Cheng Xiangjin is not very interested in those shiny gemstones, and always feels that wearing them at her age will be too ostentatious. After reading it, she was just about to leave, and the pair of jade hairpins that the young man had just picked up in his hand caught her attention.

Seeing her staring, the young man hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced her, "The little lady has a really good eye, this pair of jade hairpins was brought back from the Western Regions by our shopkeeper personally, and the best Hetian white jade is used, the jade color is delicate, and the start is warm." The carving is also very exquisite, carved by a famous carving master in the Western Regions. This kind of jade hairpin originally had two pairs in the store, and our shopkeeper kept a pair, and now only this pair is left in my hand! If the little lady likes it, it is better to buy it, and it is an excellent choice to wear it yourself or give it away! ”

Cheng Xiangjin was a little moved by what he said, and was about to take it over to take a closer look, but was snatched away by a gorgeously dressed woman on the side.

"Let me see, is it really as good as you say?"

The woman was dressed in a pink dress, and her delicate face revealed a hint of pride.

The young man looked at this savage woman in amazement, and his face was ugly for a moment. turned his head to look at Cheng Xiangjin again, and there was self-blame and guilt in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Cheng Xiangjin shook his head gently, "It's okay, let her watch it first!" ”

The young man instantly cast a touch of gratitude.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but suddenly a woman about thirty years old walked down from the upper floor, dressed gorgeously and with a graceful posture.

"Recently, a new batch of headwear has come into our store, if you are interested, you can come up and have a look?"

The woman in pink was overjoyed, "Huh? It turns out that Sister Yan Niang is also there? I thought I couldn't buy the jewelry I wanted today, but Sister Yan Niang was relieved when I was here! ”

Gently dragged the man standing behind him, and said happily: "Let's go, Wei Ke, go up with me and take a look." The jade hairpin returned to the young man's hands, and a man dressed as a scholar accompanied the woman to the second floor.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Cheng Xiangjin seems to be a little reluctant from the face of the man dressed as a scholar.

Cheng Xiangjin just glanced at it in a hurry, didn't think much about it, and saw that the jade hairpin was in the young man's hand again, so he took it again and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Xiao Yu'er suddenly thought of something, quietly tugged Cheng Xiangjin's sleeve, and said softly: "Master, did you hear it?" The man who had just gone upstairs was called Wei Ke! ”

Cheng Xiangjin was a little dazed for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Who is Wei Ke?" ”

Xiao Yu'er was a little anxious, "Wei Ke, Wei Ke, oops, it's that Wei Ke, that Wei Lang of the Wei family!" ”

What?

Cheng Xiangjin thought he had heard it wrong, "How can it be so coincidental?" I guess it's the same name! ”

Just when she and Xiao Yu'er bowed their heads and whispered, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from upstairs, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the "Wei Ke" who had just gone upstairs, followed by the woman in pink with an anxious face and chased out, "Wei Ke!" Stop! ...”

The man strode in front, and the woman angrily chased behind, and soon the two blew out like a gust of wind, attracting the eyes of countless people on the street.

"Master, did you hear me this time? That man's name is Wei Ke! ”

As if he heard Xiao Yu'er's voice, the young man was surprised and said, "That son just now is the son of Wei Kewei of the Ministry of Servants." ”

Cheng Xiangjin and Xiao Yu'er glanced at each other, "Is it really him?" ”

Cheng Xiangjin suppressed his surprise and asked the young man, "I don't know who that woman in pink is?" ”

The young man is also a love to say, and when he saw that no one came out upstairs, he walked a little closer and whispered: "She, she has a lot of background!" is the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, Du Meifang, the sister of Princess Anping. Recently, I have been frequenting Baohua Building and am very familiar with our hosts. At the end, the young man's voice was lowered a lot, as if he was afraid that Cheng Xiangjin didn't understand, and quietly stretched out a finger and pointed somewhere upstairs.

Cheng Xiangjin understood, it seems that the graceful woman above just now is the owner of this store, and the woman in pink just called her name, what kind of mother is coming?

Seeing that her master didn't know where her master had gone, Xiao Yu'er was secretly a little anxious, and asked the little man in a low voice, "What is the relationship between this Miss Du and Master Wei?" ...... Engaged? ”

The young man waved his hand hurriedly and said in a low voice: "No, they are cousins and sisters, and the current Duchess is the aunt of Wei Gongzi." Miss Du was born to Wei Gongzi's aunt. However, looking at this sign, the two are estimated to be not far from getting engaged. ”

Xiao Yu'er listened and gritted her teeth secretly. The old lady still has some affection for the Wei family, but she didn't expect this Wei family boy to be so disregardful!

She glanced out the door secretly, quietly suppressed the anger in her heart, and although her face did not show anything, it was much quieter than before.

Cheng Xiangjin also didn't have much expression on his face, and after listening to the gossip, he still looked at the jewelry seriously, and finally shook the jade hairpin in his hand to the young man with a pleasant face, "I bought this one!" ”

"Hey, little lady, later, let the little one wrap it up for you."

On the way back, Xiao Yu'er didn't know if she was afraid of her, and she was very quiet.

When I saw it in Baohua Building in a hurry just now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Miss Du was interested in Wei Ke. Otherwise, the young man wouldn't have said that for no reason!

As for Wei Ke's attitude..... It's a bit unpredictable!

If you have the heart, why did you leave so resolutely just now, and you didn't leave any affection for Miss Du?

If you don't want to, why did you come to Baohua Building with her?

Something doesn't make sense, huh? Could this guy have a mental problem?

Cut! Leave him alone! Love how how!

Although Cheng Xiangjin had some doubts in his heart, he was in a very good mood! Fortunately, my grandmother wisely didn't agree to this family affair! Otherwise, I wouldn't vomit half to death like eating a fly!

Originally, she didn't plan to marry Wei Ke, but now it's really good.

She is in a relaxed and happy mood here, but Xiao Yu'er is not reconciled! Shengsheng felt that he was unhappy for his master, and if he didn't say anything else, the old lady of Meixian County was still in the dark!

finally endured it and returned to the Begonia Residence, Xiao Yu'er finally couldn't hold it back, "Master, should we tell the old lady about this?" If we hadn't happened to meet each other today, we wouldn't have been deceived by their Wei family! ”

The more Xiao Yu'er spoke, the more angry she became, and the anger in her eyes seemed to burn that Wei Ke to charcoal!

Cheng Xiangjin patted Xiao Yu'er on the shoulder soothingly, "I'll look at this matter." Originally, I didn't plan to marry into the Wei family, so it's not bad! ”

Xiao Yu'er was still reluctant, and muttered: "The family of the servant of the Ministry is amazing?" It's too much of a bully! ”

Cheng Xiangjin looked at her puffed face and smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, this girl will write a letter to her grandmother and tell her the old man about this matter carefully, my grandmother loves me so much, and she will definitely not agree to this marriage after knowing this." ”

Xiao Yu'er was worried that she wouldn't write, so she was relieved when she watched her finish writing the letter and handed it to her.

The letter was sent out on the same day, and Wei Ke's matter was like a dragonfly, only for a short time in Cheng Xiangjin's heart, and it passed quickly.

Two days later, Cheng Siyi had news of the chef.

"Brother Su said, in a short time or two, the new chef will come over."

Cheng Xiangjin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!" ”

After hanging for a few days, I have completely settled down when I hear the news. The chef's matter is settled, and Zuixianglou is now thinking about reopening.

But I was happy for only two or three days, and I didn't think that there was a moth again!
