Chapter 81: The Splendid Shopkeeper
In the early morning of the next day, Gao Weihu finished freshening up, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and his face became a little haggard after tossing all night. Gao Weihu slightly applied some powder and rouge to himself, and suddenly became energetic again, and there was no trace of tiredness on his face at all.
The fair skin reveals a hint of redness, the willow eyebrows are black, Jieyu is slender, and Gao Wei Lake never needs to wear makeup on weekdays, but since Beitang Jinyu often comes and goes to Gao Mansion, Gao Wei Lake has begun to pay attention to these details, so as to keep himself in the best condition at all times.
After finishing up, Gao Wei Lake came to Yuxuan Pavilion, at this time Yuxuan Pavilion was exceptionally quiet, and there was no one in the courtyard. Only the frogs chirping from time to time in the courtyard and the birds that landed on the branches made a little noise from time to time.
Gao Weihu knocked lightly on the door and found that Hao was the only one in the open room sitting on the bed with a sad face. Looking at Hao's haggard appearance, it should have been a sleepless night, and the original heavy fat powder was scattered. It seems that the whole person has no spirit.
Hao's face was tired, leaning on the edge of the bed, looking at Gao Weixue's pale face blankly.
"Third aunt, are you okay?" Gao Weihu moved lightly to Hao's side.
"Huh? You're here. Hao Shi was startled, it seemed that she didn't hear the knock on the door of Gao Weihu just now.
"Third aunt, you must have not slept all night, right? It's not okay to stay up like this, and your body can't stand it. Gao Weihu said softly, and the beautiful eyes like a deep lake quietly looked at Gao Weixue on the bed, it seemed that at a certain moment, Gao Weihu felt that the sister who was sleeping on the bed was not so annoying.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Xue'er is okay, I'll be relieved." As he spoke, Hao gently wiped the tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"It's going to be fine!" Gao Weihu gently patted Hao's jade hand on the back and comforted.
"By the way, Ping'er took some of my precious jewelry to the Tang family early in the morning to pawn, if the silver is not enough, then use the Tang family's token." Hao Shi looked up at Gao Weihu, and a wry smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that it will take a few hours to prepare the medicinal materials needed for detoxification, then I will go out first, auntie, take good care of Sister Xuexue." Gao Weihu smiled shallowly, originally with a delicate and moving posture, a shallow smile can make people fascinated.
Hao nodded slightly, leaned his head on the edge of the bed, and continued to silently look at Gao Weixue in a coma.
Zhao Xiuniang, this name suddenly appeared in Gao Yuhu's mind, and with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she walked straight out of Gaofu.
Splendid Garden, all the top brocade clothes of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital are from here, there are a total of 188 embroidery girls here, all of them are responsible for the production of brocade clothes of a family, and each process is rigorous and impeccable.
Gao Weihu phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, standing outside the door of the Splendid Garden, looking up at the bustling brocade building standing in the downtown area of the capital, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Does this young lady have an appointment with any embroidery?" A middle-aged woman with a rather delicate appearance greeted her, a peony gold silk long skirt looked graceful and plump, her head was decorated with a silver hairpin, elegant and generous, and a silver thread tassel inlaid with ruby on one side of the hairpin, and the whole person looked a little younger.
Gao Weihu smiled slightly and nodded slightly to the other party.
"May I ask if Zhao Xiuniang is there?"
The middle-aged woman's expression suddenly showed a little fear, as if she had heard something terrible.
"Dare to ask this young lady, what is the so-called matter of Zhao Xiuniang?" The woman asked slightly wary.
"I am Gaofu Gaohu, a few days ago my grandmother asked Zhao Xiuniang to make me a dress, slightly flawed, I want to ask Zhao Xiuniang how to repair it." The beautiful eyes of Gao Wei Lake looked at the woman's deep apricot eyes.
The woman's deep apricot eyes suddenly widened a few times, and when she heard that it was someone from the Gao family, she was inexplicably a little more afraid in her heart, and the ruddy color of her face instantly receded, and her face was changed to a miserable white.
"Miss come in with me first." The woman came back to her senses slightly, and reached out to make a gesture of please.
Gao Weihu took in all the changes in the woman's face, is this woman afraid of the Gao family, or the name Gao Weihu, or is she afraid of the Zhao Xiuniang that Gao Weihu is looking for? Gao Weihu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and in the dark, Gao Weihu felt that this matter was becoming more and more strange.
Gao Weihu followed the woman towards the main hall of the Splendid Garden, which led to a straight road paved with white jade bricks, each of which was carved with fine words, as if telling a story.
Walking on the road of white jade bricks, you can see the busy people in the whole courtyard, these people are busy with the things in their hands, in order, each division of labor, everything is carried out in an orderly manner.
In the courtyard, there are many people in white dresses who are constantly rummaging the fabrics, and some people are holding trays with their hands on them, and there are various silk satins on them, shuttling through the corridor of the courtyard.
"Miss, please." The middle-aged woman motioned for Gao Weihu to enter the main hall.
"I'm tired." Gao Weihu retracted his gaze and nodded slightly.
The two sides of the main hall are hung with all kinds of brocade clothes, if you can have all the clothes here, you must not have to worry about what to wear in your life, each one is absolutely the best of the clothes, each style is not repeated, neatly hung on both sides of the entire main hall.
Gao Weihu also sighed slightly, although Lan Yunyan, who once lived as the queen, definitely had a few better grades of clothes than here, but the number and patterns were far less than here, and for a while, Gao Weihu was almost fascinated.
"The big shopkeeper, Miss Haohu from Gaofu has come to ask for a meeting." The middle-aged woman took Gao Weihu to a woman of similar age and said.
The woman was looking at a blue dress embroidered with magpie plum blossoms, and when she heard the middle-aged woman's report, her eyes were still looking at the long skirt in her hand for a moment, and suddenly her eyebrows were wrinkled, and she took out a pair of sharp scissors next to her and cut a long cut on the skirt with sharp scissors.
"Withhold Wang Xiuniang's salary for half a month, and tell Mrs. Lan that it will be a day late to deliver the long dress, so that she doesn't worry, she won't miss the chrysanthemum banquet." The woman's empty voice echoed throughout the hall.
"Yes." A maid on the side looked panicked and hurriedly retreated.
The woman turned around, her danfeng willow eyebrows, her cheekbones protruded slightly, and a cherry mouth under her tall nose was exquisite.
"Sit down." The woman raised her hand lightly and motioned for Gao Weihu to sit down, her voice seemed to have suffered from vicissitudes, and her slender Jieyu covered her smart eyes.
Gao Weihu couldn't see the look in her eyes clearly for a while.
