Chapter 29: Snobbery

Updated: 2013-03-20

Lu Mengjian was 'wanting' to continue to ask questions, and an old lady came from the side of the street and went straight to the stall.

"Junko, don't talk about it, there are people who have come to buy something," the beard shouted, and the vendors gathered together dispersed in an instant, and all returned to their stalls.

"Mengjian, let's go, maybe they didn't say Lin Gongzi, besides, Lin Gongzi was fine when he walked from the village," Seeing Lu Mengjian standing in a daze, Aunt Li had to pull her hard to walk elsewhere.

The old lady trembled and turned over a few cabbages, and said with some leaky air without her 'incisor' teeth, "Shunzi, you are making up nonsense with here again, you know how to make up stories to bluff some little girls, no wonder such a big man can't find a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Mother-in-law, what kind of nonsense am I talking about, it was all spread all over the city before it came to me, and besides, I don't look for a daughter-in-law 'wife' to feed the whole family without hunger, so it saves trouble, you also say, let you help be a matchmaker, I haven't even seen the shadow of a little daughter-in-law 'wife'!" Junko smiled and stuffed a few cabbages directly into the old lady's hand, "These vegetables will be sent to you directly, and they will be used as money for matchmaking in the future." ”

The old lady took the dish and grinned without her 'incisor' teeth, "You kid has no shape all day long, and you want to buy a daughter-in-law for a few cabbages, the abacus is really good!" In the future, don't talk about something all day long, you will know all day long, which little daughter-in-law 'woman' dares to follow you. ”

"Hey, mother-in-law, what I said today is true, I swear to God, this is what one of my brothers who is on an errand in the Lin family said it himself!" Junko swore that she was about to raise her left hand, but she was slapped down by the old lady.

"This blue sky and white day, what do you swear, but the eldest young master of the Lin family is really pitiful, he ...... at such a young age" The old lady sighed sadly and turned to leave.

Lu Mengjian's 'legs' seemed to be filled with lead, and he was dragged away for a long time, and when he looked back, he found that he had walked less than 100 meters, but he was already out of breath, and found a stone on the side of the road to sit down.

"Aunt Li, do you think Mr. will really ......?"

"Bah, bah," Aunt Li suddenly covered Lu Mengjian's mouth, pretending to spit on the ground, "Mengjian, this must not be said 'nonsense', don't worry, I think Lin Gongzi will be fine, maybe when we go home, he will already be waiting at home." Besides, how could Lin Gongzi have anything to do with that Lin family. ”

However, Lu Mengjian knew that Lin Daimo, regardless of his weak body, 'groped' into the city early in the morning, and even fainted directly halfway, all because he heard the news of the Stone Record. The Lin family in that person's mouth today is precisely the Lin family of Shiji, and Lin Daimo also left home three days ago, how can all this be just a coincidence!

Unexpectedly, a person who has lived together for so long has a living human life, but in a few days, the 'yin' and yang have been separated from each other, which is really difficult for Lu Mengjian to accept.

But looking at Aunt Li's concerned gaze, Lu Mengjian had to force his 'spirit' and squeezed out a smile, "That is, our husband has always been blessed, how can you believe this kind of market rumor." Let's go shopping first, it's almost noon now, my feet are weak, if I walk slowly, it will be dark before I can go back! ”

"It's not, hey, I remember that there is a cloth shop near here, let's go buy cloth first, and then go over there to see after buying the cloth, the salt at home is almost gone, and we have to add more," Aunt Li frowned and 'touched' the purse in her arms, last night Zhong'er heard that she was going to enter the city, and she smirked excitedly all night, and she said in her dreams at night that she called 'meat' buns, and Harazi shed a pillow.

But the pig 'meat' is so expensive, after buying the cloth and adding some others, the copper plate in the purse is afraid that even one or two pig 'meat' can't be bought, although Li Dazhuang gritted his teeth and took out the small half of the silver stored in the cabinet, but was put back by Aunt Li's heart, and when she passed by the pig 'meat' stall, she couldn't help but take a few more looks, and the tangled look was completely collected by Lu Mengjian.

After walking for a short time, I came to a cloth shop, the 'door' was a little shabby, but there was something else in the store.

Large bundles of cloth are stacked on the counter, and most of the ones near the 'door' are mainly gray and black, and the price is cheaper, but the more you go inside, the more 'colorful' they are, but they are all rough fabrics.

Aunt Li stood at the entrance of the 'door', 'touching' and 'touching' the gray 'color' for a while, and then looking at the black 'color' horse, she hesitated in her heart, and pulled Lu Mengjian, "Mengjian, come over and see, is it better to buy this kind of or black 'color' for Zhong'er and his father?" ”

"Gray 'colored', it won't be too conspicuous if it is stained with gray," Lu Mengjian pointed to the gray 'colored' horse, but he thought about what kind of 'color' clothes he should make for Lin Daimo. Li Dazhuang has been in the field all the year round, so naturally he doesn't pay so much attention to it, as long as he is strong and durable, but Lin Daimo is not like these rough people, although he is no longer the young master of the family, he still doesn't dare to be sloppy about his appearance, which makes Lu Mengjian a little embarrassed.

Taking advantage of Aunt Li's choice of cloth for Zhong'er, Lu Mengjian took a few more steps inside, but there was still no satisfactory cloth sample.

When he walked to the end, he found that there was a staircase leading upstairs, Lu Mengjian lifted his dress and was about to go up, but was stopped by the guy who was guarding the side.

"This little lady, the second floor of our store is not open to the public." The young man looked at Lu Mengjian's simple dress, his eyes were full of disdain, and his nostrils almost turned to the sky and said.

Lu Mengjian thought that the second floor was where the store lived, and he knew that he was presumptuous, so he apologized again and again and returned to the store. However, just as he was about to choose the right cloth, a 'girl' came from outside the shop, followed by two girls, who came straight to the stairs with a high spirit, without looking at the coarse cloth placed by the roadside.

The young man nodded and said with a smile on his face when he saw the person coming, "Ouch, Miss Wen, why are you here in person, there happened to be a few fine Jiangnan silks today, Miss Wen came by coincidence, please go upstairs." ”

Miss Wen snorted, twisted her body and walked upstairs, and the girl behind her followed left and right, leaving the guy who was 'licking' her face behind.

After seeing the three of them go upstairs, the young man put on a straight face and stayed aside again, and when he saw people asking about the price, he also looked like he didn't care, and when he saw Lu Mengjian coming over, he turned his eyes directly to look away.

"Little brother, didn't you just say that the second floor is not open to the public, how can I see that young lady can go upstairs directly," Lu Mengjian has seen a lot of this kind of bullying the poor and loving the rich, but he didn't expect that there would be such a snob in this kind of small shop, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and couldn't help but come over to theorize.

Seeing that it was the poor sour 'girl' who tried to go to the second floor in vain, the guy snorted angrily, "The second floor is full of precious cloth, people like you, I'm afraid that I can't afford to pay for 'getting dirty'!" ”

It was noon, there were very few customers in the shop, and the voice of the man was particularly loud in the quiet cloth shop, which caused everyone to look at each other.

"Hehe, people like us? I don't think the fabric I'm wearing is much different from the one on my body, and such a big tone makes people think that the little brother is a rich and noble brother, so it seems that he is just one of our kind of people. Lu Mengjian stood up straight, half a head taller than the young man.

"Hmph, can you control whether I'm a rich boy or not, if you can't afford it, get out, what are you yelling about here!" When the young man saw Lu Mengjian's posture, he suddenly felt that he was lacking in confidence, but he still stubbornly wanted to drive Lu Mengjian out of the 'door'.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Aunt Li hurriedly ran over and grabbed Lu Mengjian, and smiled at the guy, "Don't be angry, this little brother, the slave family apologized to you on behalf of this lady, you don't remember the villain, she is still young and ignorant." ”

"Auntie, you are really joking, a person of her age is not sensible, and I don't know if she really doesn't understand personnel or has a bad brain," they all said that they didn't stretch out their hands and didn't hit the smiling person, but the young man still sneered viciously, Aunt Li listened, her face turned from red to blue, and she couldn't help but pull down her face.

Seeing that the young man didn't know what to do, Lu Mengjian calmed down, and the corners of his mouth were mocking, "Hmph, I don't want to go down the steps, it seems that the little brother likes to climb high along the pole, since this is the case, let you climb enough, and see who falls harder!" ”

"Mengjian, forget it, let's go, we ordinary people can't afford this kind of thing," Aunt Li pulled Lu Mengjian worriedly, and whispered, but Lu Mengjian didn't move at all.

"Man, call your boss, I want to see how such a well-known old store can be so rude to customers, isn't it really in response to the old saying that the store bully customers?" Lu Mengjian walked slowly to the counter, his tone was unhurried, and his calm expression was like that of ordinary passers-by.

The guy in front of the counter was much more knowledgeable, and explained to Lu Mengjian with a smile on his face, "It's really unfortunate, our shopkeeper went out of the 'door', I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while, girl, why don't you choose a few pieces of cloth first, this matter is ours today." But it's really our store that has rules, only members of the store can go up to the second floor, I don't know if the girl has a sign of our Yuxiu cloth workshop? If there is, then it will be easy to do, but if not, the girl will have to pick up some fabric on the first floor of us. ”

"I didn't expect that there would be a membership system in this era, and these people's thinking is still 'very' advanced," Lu Mengjian thought secretly in his heart, but in this way, it was even more difficult for him to step down, only to blame Fang for being angry and out of proportion for a while, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger and can only take the tricks one by one.

"Oh, I don't know what the conditions are needed to get a membership card for Guibu Fang?" Lu Mengjian only regarded it as a membership card in a large shopping mall, and it was enough to 'hand' over the ID card and give some work costs, so he asked lightly, but Aunt Li pulled herself aside with a frightened face, "Are you crazy?" ”

The guy who laughed at the 'Yin' and 'Yin' raised his voice slightly, "Anyone who spends more than 1,000 taels a year in our store can get a silver medallion specially made by our store, and you can only enter the second floor to consume with this badge, of course, you can also 'spend' a hundred taels of silver to buy a medallion." Our Yuxiu Cloth Workshop also has several branches in the whole city of Pulan, and you can also enjoy the discounts in our store with this medal. ”

"Dare to ask the girl if you want to buy it directly for a hundred taels of silver, or ......"
