Chapter 42: Secretly Rejoicing
"The promotion of the husband is a great joy, but do you need to open the door to celebrate?"
Zhai is a rare joy today, that is, he has not drunk, and his cheeks are red and radiant.
Xie Baolin hesitated for a moment, then gave Zhai another chopstick fish, and shook his head, "We only happened to such an unfortunate thing a few years ago, and you are pregnant and can't work hard, so you were promoted this time, and we are still a small person in Hangzhou." It's better to close the door and make your family happy. ”
Zhai felt that Xie Baolin was considerate, and even covered his mouth and laughed, "It's all Yifujun's." Give everyone in the house an extra month's money. ”
Xie Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Auntie, Daddy is thriving, isn't it time to invite a nurturing grandmother for the eldest sister and the second sister? Look at the little ladies of those big families, which one is not accompanied by a beautiful little maid, and there is a powerful grandmother to handle it. In the future, if you encounter something disgusting like the Xu family again, the little maid can't pull her face, and Mama can at least protect the master, right? ”
"When I go to my mother-in-law's house in the future, there is a grandmother who follows, and I don't panic, do I?"
Taking advantage of Zhai's happiness, Xie Jingyi hurriedly mentioned it.
Zhai nodded and said seriously, "Please!" After the last time, A-Niang also thought about it, I can't encounter something in the future, and I want you, a little lady, to open your mouth and go back. Even if you win, you will inevitably be branded with a sharp-toothed and mean reputation. It's just that this upbringing is not good for please. ”
"What is released in this palace is not enough in the capital, where can we get Hangzhou? is to Hangzhou, and the daughters of wealthy families next to them, this pick and choose, I am afraid that the selection is not good, but it is a drag from your sisters. ”
Xie Jingyi frowned, thinking about it, Zhai's words were not unreasonable. The loyal and powerful grandmother is not so easy to find, and those families in the house should also add some fists and feet to the body, otherwise, the next time you encounter the "mountain bandits" will still be in a desperate situation.
No matter how idle Chai Youchen is, he won't happen to pass by every time and save them from danger.
This meal was eaten for a long time, and it was not until Xie Baolin was a little drunk that the family dispersed.
Early the next morning, Xie Jingyi rode a little donkey and walked towards Zhengyang Street.
To say that this Zhengyang Street is the main street in the city, it is extremely prosperous, and twelve carriages can pass side by side at the same time. The people who come and go are the sons and daughters of some rich and noble families, or foreign traders who come to Hangzhou to buy goods.
If Xingnan Street is a market for ordinary people, it is a gold cave for the rich.
"That's it, let's go, let's go in." Xie Jingyi raised his finger and pointed, turned over and got off the little donkey, and the guy guarding the door greeted him excitedly and stretched out his hand to lead the donkey.
Qingping scratched her head, "Chai Er Gongzi didn't say anything, how did Xiao Niang know that it was this family?" ”
Xie Jingyi raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you see it?" In the entire Zhengyang Street, all the shops are full of people, but this one is the only one, and even the passing finches don't want to give a look. Look at us, this little brother is so excited that he looks like he will see his father and fellow villagers again in ten years! ”
When the little donkey heard this, he snorted, as if responding to Xie Jingyi's words.
The guy holding the little donkey, his face was red, he didn't know why, no one came to their shop, this should be metaphysics, this must be metaphysics!
As soon as he entered the shop, Xie Jingyi took a look and nodded with satisfaction, the location of this shop is average, and it is a relatively remote location on Zhengyang Street. After all, most of the shops on this street are time-honored, and no matter how arrogant he is, he can't occupy other people's ancestral business.
The wooden floor of the shop is so clean that it can shine the shadow of people, which shows that this is indeed a cold courtyard, and she is the first guest to come to the door today.
The shopkeeper was chubby and looked a little honest, "The little surname Pang is the shopkeeper in this shop." Our host has been waiting upstairs for a long time. ”
Xie Jingyi nodded, lifted the corner of her skirt and walked upstairs.
In the deepest part of the corridor, the door of a private room was open, and Chai Youchen was standing inside, with his back to the door, looking at the paintings on the wall.
This is a picture of red plums, if someone who knows how to paint has seen the chapter painted by Xie Jingyi Layue, they must be surprised that the painter who painted the two pictures is the same person.
"Pei Shaodu is willing to give you an umbrella and a painting." Xie Jingyi walked in and waved his hand to Qingping, Qingping nodded, put the burden on the table, and went to the staircase with Chai Gui to guard.
Speaking of which, Chai Youchen and the official family, as well as Pei Shaodu, can be said to have grown up when they were young.
The Chai family is noble, and the Pei family is famous.
Unlike Chai Youchen's dedication to state affairs, Pei Shaodu became famous at a young age, and did not take the road of the imperial examination, so he had to paint, and the official family gave him the title of a court painter for the convenience of him walking in the palace.
In the end, the official family ended up depressed, and she and Chai Youchen were ruined and died a good death, but Pei Shaodu was alone.
"Why didn't anyone come in my shop? You said that the people on Xingnan Street can't be luxurious, and the people don't dare to come in. But this is Zhengyang Street. ”
Xie Jingyi smiled, "Chai Ergongzi wants to go to Fanlou when he drinks, he wants to go to Nanyuan to listen to music, and he loves Shuzhong Ji when he dresses, that is, he eats a bite of dim sum, and he also wants to buy Xiaohuangzhai in the capital." You are like this, and so are the nobles of Hangzhou. ”
Chai Youchen turned around and looked at Xie Jingyi, the fingers behind him moved slightly.
"You know me so well, don't you secretly like me?"
Xie Jingyi sneered in her heart, her face was thicker than the city wall, she had to be scheming, she had to have wrists, and she was as beautiful as a flower. It's good that the bad guys are talking to the officials.
"Alas, that man is busy, and of course I write down such trivial matters casually."
Chai Youchen snorted, "You mean, my shop is too nameless." ”
Xie Jingyi nodded, "I've already seen it, although the silk and satin in your shop are complete, there is nothing special about it." There are only two kinds of people who come here: the rich and the businessmen. Rich people, like you, have long had their favorite shops, and they regard these time-honored brands as faces; Merchants are also rich people, and they have always taken their goods in familiar shops, after all, the integrity is guaranteed, and the price has already been negotiated. ”
Chai Youchen frowned, "Since you will, I will leave it to you in the future." When you go to the capital, my grange shop will be in charge of you. ”
Without waiting for Xie Jingyi to speak, Chai Youchen said again, "You have seen my sincerity, what about your sincerity?" Don't tell me, you've been in the palace for so many years, and you've learned some stupid things about intrigue. ”
Xie Jingyi rolled his eyes, isn't the harem and the court the same? It's like, you're not stupid, but you're a loser.
She thought, walked to the table, opened the package that Qingping had put down before, and gently flicked it with her fingers, "This is my sincerity." ”
