Chapter 163: Hide
The girls on the street were all bare with half of their arms, and their wheat-colored skin gave them a vibrant look.
Zhou Yusheng saw that Bai Shuqin had been staring at the girl on the street, and laughed at her: "You look at the girl's straight eyes, and you don't know that you think you are a man dressed as a woman." ”
"Who doesn't like to look at beautiful things?" Bai Shuqin took what he said for granted, and continued to feast his eyes.
A girl walked up to her with a large wine jug made of bamboo around her neck. When the girl passed by Bai Shuqin, she took the initiative to talk, "Beautiful girl, try our home-brewed bar!" ”
If she sells other things, Bai Shuqin may be able to try it, but she doesn't stick to wine. However, this wine girl spoke so nicely, and her smile was particularly bright, Bai Shuqin felt happy when she saw it.
She glanced at Zhou Yusheng beside her, and smiled at the wine girl: "I can't drink, but I can get some for my brother to taste!" ”
The wine seller heard the convenience of taking a small spoon made of bamboo from the side of the flask, and took out a small wine glass made of bamboo from her waist. When you open the lid of the flask, the aroma of wine wafts through.
"This son, you taste it." The wine seller handed the bamboo cup full of wine to Zhou Yusheng.
Zhou Yusheng did not refuse the wine, he took the bamboo cup and drank it all.
"Childe is really bold, do you want another drink?" As she spoke, the wine girl took back the bamboo cup from Zhou Yusheng's hand and wanted to fill him with another glass.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, so Zhou Yusheng had to drink again.
The wine brewed by the farmhouse is naturally not comparable to the wine in the palace, but it is strong enough. Zhou Yusheng bought all the wine on the wine seller and let Guo Hu carry it.
Bai Shuqin said with emotion: "The children of rich families are different, and they are generous. ”
"Sister, aren't we a family? Whatever you like, tell me, I'll buy it for you. Zhou Yusheng smiled boldly, she said that he was a younger brother, so he made a gesture to call her sister.
"That's what you said, don't deny it later." Bai Shuqin smiled evilly, it is not her style to take advantage of it.
Zhou Yusheng is also a prince, although he can't be rich and rival the country, but there is nothing in the capital that he can't buy. He said arrogantly: "As long as you are happy, sister, spending some money is nothing, don't be polite to me." ”
The difference between the customs of Zhou and Zhuo is still very big, the biggest difference is that Zhou women can show their heads on the street, and many of them are women.
Women like gold and silver jewelry, and Bai Shuqin is no exception. Even if she doesn't bring much on weekdays, these things can be sold after changing hands, and she can't get along with money.
The largest jewelry store in Zhou is the Phoenix Building, and the owner of the Phoenix Building is a very legendary woman. When he was young, the boss was sold to a family as a child bride.
This child daughter-in-law has not been a few years old, and just gave birth to a big fat boy, her husband fell ill and died, leaving only her elderly parents and a child to be mended.
In order to raise children and take care of the elderly, she began to run their family's small jewelry workshop, which has developed from the largest jewelry store in Zhou to today.
After listening to what Zhou Yusheng said, Bai Shuqin was in awe of the owner of this shop, this is simply the old godmother in ancient times.
It's still women who understand women best, and when Bai Shuqin stepped into the store, he felt that it was different from other places.
The display shelf of the jewellery is a dresser, and in the middle of the white dresser is a brass mirror with three compartments on each side, on which different jewellery are displayed.
On the dressing table, there are also washed melons and fruits, and desserts are available for people to enjoy. The most intimate thing is that there is also fat powder rouge on the countertop for guests to use for touch-ups.
"It's a woman's paradise." Bai Shuqin found a free dresser, picked up a pearl silver hairpin and inserted it in his bun.
The pearl is the size of an index fingernail, and the rounded body of the pearl exudes a faint luster, which is very beautiful as an accent or as a main piece of jewelry.
Bai Shuqin glanced at the jewelry on the dresser, all of which were mainly pearls, and they were all light and elegant.
"Do you like it?" Zhou Yusheng asked.
Bai Shuqin nodded, and tried the others, she liked everything very much. She was a little difficult, so she asked Zhou Yusheng, "Which one do you think is better?" ”
In Zhou Yusheng's opinion, these jewelry are almost the same, except for the big and small ones, he really doesn't feel any difference. He glanced at the things on the table, "It's all pretty good, I bought them all." ”
"Just waiting for your words!" Bai Shuqin raised his eyebrows and laughed triumphantly, turned around and shouted to the little guy, "Help me wrap up all the things on this stage, and over there, over there." ”
Bai Shuqin was like picking cabbage, little by little, little by little, everything she thought was good-looking, and what she thought was not good-looking but she thought it was expensive, she ordered it all.
When paying, Bai Shuqin paid special attention to the price, and all the things she picked together were less than a thousand taels. The most expensive is a phoenix hairpin made of gold.
"Is there anything else you like?" Zhou Yusheng looked left and right, and didn't see anything that particularly satisfied him, so he asked the little guy, "Don't you have anything more expensive?" ”
"Childe, the main thing about our small shop is good quality and low price. If you want something expensive, go out and walk three to Fengxiang Building, which is our branch. "The little guy gave a warm introduction.
Zhou Yusheng turned around and asked Bai Shuqin: "Do you think we should go there and have a look?" ”
Bai Shuqin had already let him spend seven or eight hundred taels, and she was not so thick-skinned, so she refused.
"Where do you want to go next? Listen to you today! Zhou Yusheng said generously, in fact, he just didn't know where women liked to go, and there were generally no women who he liked to go to.
"I'm not familiar with life, shouldn't you be the one who proposes to go somewhere to play?" Bai Shuqin threw the question to him.
Zhou Yusheng frowned and thought about it seriously, and proposed several places, all of which were vetoed by Bai Shuqin one by one. In the end, he really had no choice but to ask her, "Then do you want to eat now?" Or do you want to see some scenery? ”
"I don't want to go." Bai Shuqin was not interested in these at all, she asked casually, "Where do you like to go when you usually go out of the palace?" ”
As soon as Zhou Yusheng heard that he was asked where to go, he began to hesitate, and his face was still a little red.
"Do you like to go to the Qinglou?" Bai Shuqin guessed.
"Nonsense, how could I go to that kind of place!" Zhou Yusheng blushed and denied it.
His behavior like this made Bai Shuqin feel that she had guessed right, she patted him on the shoulder, looking like I understood, "It's okay, young man, it's not a shame to have this hobby." ”
Zhou Yusheng felt that he was slandered, and hurriedly denied it, "I said no, I really don't go to that kind of place, I swear!" ”
"So what's there to be out of here?" Bai Shuqin was puzzled.
Zhou Yusheng struggled for a while, and then whispered out two words, "Casino." ”
"How about taking me to the casino?" Bai Shuqin's eyes flashed, she had always been lucky in the casino, she had won a lot of money in a casino in a certain country, if she hadn't been handed over to the country as evidence in the end, she would have become a rich woman a long time ago.
Zhou Yusheng was afraid that Bai Shuqin would say this, that kind of place is mixed, not to mention that an innocent girl will suffer a loss, even if he suffers a lot in the early days.
Bai Shuqin saw that his face was full of reluctance, and said with interest: "If you feel embarrassed, forget it." I don't have any other places I want to visit, so let's go back. ”
The streets were bustling with people, and cheerful little girls chased and frolicked past them.
Bai Shuqin, who was still full of interest just now, became listless at the moment. Zhou Yusheng took her out of the palace in order to make her happy, and when he saw that she was even more sad now than in the palace, he hesitated in his heart.
Guo Hu, who had never spoken, saw the appearance of the two of them, and took the initiative to pat his chest and say, "Master, with me here, you can rest assured to take the white girl to play." ”
"Guo Hu, don't embarrass him." Bai Shuqin sighed faintly.
Zhou Yusheng began to hesitate, and their performance at this time was tantamount to pushing him, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he decided to take Bai Shuqin to the casino to play two handfuls.
On the way, Zhou Yusheng impatiently told Bai Shuqin about the rules and routines of the casino, and Bai Shuqin only felt that men were more annoying than women.
She remembered that when the two met for the first time in Zhao Kingdom, Zhou Yusheng gave her the impression that she was a gentleman who did not learn and did not know how to do it. And now, Bai Shuqin actually found an innocent and hot sense of youth in him.
"Do you remember what I just said?" Zhou Yusheng asked uneasily.
Bai Shuqin didn't take it to heart at all, and nodded perfunctorily, "Where is this casino, why haven't you arrived after walking for so long?" ”
"Are you tired of walking?" Zhou Yusheng looked ahead, estimated that he would have to walk for at least a quarter of an hour, turned his head and instructed Guo Hu, "You go and call a carriage to come over." ”
"No, I'm not tired." Bai Shuqin was afraid of trouble and hurriedly refused.
"It's still a long way to go back later, you're weak, you're not tired now, and you'll be tired later. Guo Hu, go and come back quickly. Zhou Yusheng said.
Bai Shuqin looked at Zhou Yusheng a little distracted, but he didn't expect him to be so careful now. Maybe he was a gentle person, but he had been hidden by him.
Zhou Yusheng turned his head to meet Bai Shuqin's gaze, and the smile on his face immediately rose to the sky, "Aren't you attracted by my handsome face, master?" ”
He raised his eyebrows twice, touched his chin and said, "It's a pity that you are older and have a fierce personality, only your face is okay." If you could be gentle, I might be able to make it hard for you to look at you a few times. ”
Bai Shuqin couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in disgust: "You don't look down on me, and I don't look down on you." Since we hate each other, it's best not to get along with each other in the future. ”
"That's not going to work!" Zhou Yusheng seriously refused, "I'm afraid that you miss me too much, and your thoughts will become sick." ”
The corners of Bai Shuqin's mouth twitched, if it weren't for being on the street, and her identity to hide, she would definitely have to let him know that there was a price to pay for talking nonsense now.
The casinos of the Zhou Kingdom were not built in the most prosperous places in the capital like Zhuo Guo, but were built on the outskirts of the city, so the personnel were chaotic. Before you even get to the casino, you can hear the noise coming from inside.
When he was about to arrive at the casino, Zhou Yusheng suddenly became a lot more mature, and he protected Bai Shuqin inside to prevent her from being touched by others.
Bai Shuqin didn't feel uncomfortable with this kind of occasion, his expression was extremely calm, and his eyes kept looking around. There are half of them playing dice and half of them, but there are more people around the dice table.
Many people in the casino knew Zhou Yusheng, and greeted him when they saw him, "Zhang Gongzi, haven't you been here for a long time?" Have fun today! ”
"Okay, definitely." Zhou Yusheng responded.
"Zhang Gongzi, what is your pseudonym? Zhang Yusheng? Bai Shuqin asked with interest.
Zhou Yusheng glanced at her with disgust, "How is it possible, my name is Zhang Wuji outside!" ”
Bai Shuqin thought to himself, you really dare to come up with such a name, just looking at his smug appearance, he didn't bother to splash him with cold water.
There are a lot of people in the casino, but fortunately, Zhou Yusheng protects Bai Shuqin, so that she will not be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives.
"Shall I take you to play dice? It's simple, it's better than the size. Zhou Yusheng proposed.
For Bai Shuqin, it doesn't make much difference what to bet on. She nodded, and followed him to the dice table. The people around him knew that he was a good person, and they made way for them with interest.
The one who shook the dice was a woman of about twenty-seven or eight, with a plump figure and a charming appearance. She was dressed in fuchsia and had a snow-white arm leaking out.
