Chapter 12 Ruyi Building
Early the next morning, Xia Zhu took Shu Yu to the street as promised, and in Shu Yu's opinion, the time was about seven or eight o'clock, and there were already many pedestrians and small traders on the street.
When Shu Yu worked in Shushi Group, he got up and went to work at about this time every day, but it seemed to be a little early for the market investigation.
At this time, the street was bustling, and some small merchants and vendors had already started shouting on the street, Shu Yu was strange that there were some men on the street, whether it was the owner of the shop on the street, or the vendor who ran through the streets, he had never seen a woman, and occasionally met a few women, and they were all in a hurry to carry a vegetable basket to buy vegetables.
This street is a little different from Shu Yu's imagination, and he asked Xia Zhudao: "Sister Xia Zhu, are there any other commercial streets in Hong Kong City this month?" ”
"Sister Yu, what is a commercial street?" Xia Zhu was used to hearing some new terms from Shu Yu's mouth, so he was not surprised, but asked curiously.
"It's a store that sells some daily necessities, clothes and shoes." Shu Yu tried his best to organize the wording, trying to make Xia Zhu understand.
"Yes! I remember that there was a cloth shop on the East Street side, and they could tailor it for the buyers, and there was a shoe shop on the West Street, but they only accepted the soles, not the finished products, and there was a ceramics shop on the North Street side, and the dishes, chopsticks and jars used at home were all ordered at his house. There are two iron shops on South Street, but the iron parts at home are all custom-made in Beijing, but I don't know how their craftsmanship is. Xia Zhu counted what he knew, folded his hands and told Xia Zhu.
Shu Yu heard that one head and two were big, why didn't there even be a commercial street in ancient times, there were so few things, and they were so scattered, and they didn't know where to go shopping.
"So is there any sale of feminine products in this city, such as rouge gouache, perfume and the like? Or a shop like headgear. Shu Yu continued to ask.
Xia Zhu thought for a while and said: Headwear items belong to jewelry and jade shops, there are no other ladies in our Shizi Mansion who live permanently, and I am just a maid, so I have never paid attention to where there is a headwear store, however, there is a daughter's household goods in Yuegang City across the street, I know that there are some rouge gouaches sold in Ruyi Building, but Xia Zhu does not know what perfume is, it is estimated that Ruyi Building will also have it! ”
"Then let's go over and have a look, and we'll find out."
When Shu Yu heard that there was such a shop, he was instantly interested, and immediately became very excited.
Xia Zhu heard that Shu Yu wanted to go to Ruyi Building, so he quickly pointed out the direction and said: "Ruyi Building is on East Street, not very far from here, I'll take you there." ”
Shu Yu couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, took Xia Zhu's arm and said to Xia Zhu excitedly: "Sister Xia Zhu, you are really my nobleman, when the matter is done, sister invites you to have a big meal, oh!" I'm sorry, I forgot, my sister doesn't have half a dime in her pocket now, and when my sister is developed, my sister will invite you to a big meal every day. ”
Xia Zhu glanced at Shu Yu flattered, did not shake off Shu Yu's hand, but enjoyed Shu Yu holding her arm, Xia Zhu thought that Shu Yu really regarded her as a sister, and only his own sister would hold her sister's arm, because in this way their identities were the same.
Xia Zhu secretly reddened her eyes again, since she first met Shu Yu yesterday, Shu Yu has never treated her as a subordinate, but respects her very much, and treats her like a sister, although she doesn't know what Shu Yu's identity is, but the one who can eat with the prince and make friends with the prince is definitely not an ordinary person.
Since they have been sensible, no young lady or young master of any family can treat these subordinates as human beings, even if the prince is very good to them, he will keep a certain distance from their group of subordinates.
But Shu Yu didn't have it at all, from Shu Yu's every move yesterday to his current speech and demeanor, he really treated himself as a sister, without a little distance, and even very kind.
Now he is even more said to invite himself to a big meal, which maid has such an honor to let the superior lady invite him to dinner, and also hold his arm to go shopping together, Xia Zhu's inner turmoil can no longer be described as small waves, but should be described as turbulent more appropriately.
Shu Yu didn't know some scenes in modern life, but Xia Zhu was moved like that, although it was a scene, but Shu Yu really treated Xia Zhu as a sister, first of all, Xia Zhu was the first girl Shu Yu came to this world to know, and she was also a hard-working child, her heart was simple and kind, not like some little girls in later generations, she was not very old, and she had a lot of flowers, which has made Shu Yu like Xia Zhu very much, and the other one, Shu Yu does not have the habit of respect and inferiority in feudal society, so it is pleasing to the eyes, Naturally, it's easy to treat Xia Zhu as his sister.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything all the way, Xia Zhu took Shu Yu to turn a street and go straight to Ruyi Building.
Xia Zhu took Shu Yu to stop at a wooden two-story shop, pointed to the shop in front of him and said to Shu Yu: "Sister Yu, look, this is Ruyi Building, should we go in and have a look?" ”
Shu Yu took a look at the store, the store is at the intersection of the East Street and the South Street, the location is quite good, the hot stamping plaque reads "Ruyi Building" three big characters, hanging at the intersection of the first floor and the second floor, it looks quite imposing.
"Let's go in and see what's on sale inside." Shu Yu took Xia Zhu and entered the Ruyi Building together.
As soon as Shu Yu entered the door, a woman who looked like a boss came out to greet them, which was the first female boss Shu Yu saw.
The proprietress glanced at Shu Yu and Xia Zhu, and immediately separated the master-servant relationship, although the two held each other's arms, but Xia Zhu's outfit was obviously a maid.
I couldn't help but glance at Shu Yu twice, and saw that Shu Yu was dressed up, quite different from other women, with a thin gauze on the outside of the light cyan clothes, and no hair on the back, casually draped over the shoulders, and the excess was pulled behind the ears. But looking at it is fresh and refreshing.
The proprietress made a welcoming gesture and said to Shu Yu: "The two of you, please, what do you want, please choose or tell me, I will choose for the two." ”
This boss is wearing a red shirt, his hair is tied up with a hosta snail, he looks like he is in his thirties, dressed like a bride, the hair ornament on his head is basically red, and his face is decorating a little rouge gouache.
And this dress is side by side with Shu Yu, but I can see the difference, in today's words, one is a white-collar worker in the city, and the other is an aunt in the countryside.
Shu Yu is wearing a set of pale green Luo skirt clothes today, with a pale green gauze draped on her body casually, which looks clean and refreshing, and her hair is also casually draped over her shoulders, but she has a different beauty from modern women.
When Shu Yu went out in the morning, the eyebrows on his face were slightly modified, and the original thick eyebrows were trimmed a little thinner, he was not very old, although he did not have lipstick, but his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his small face was even more pink, plus Shu Yu's own modern temperament from the inside out, directly killed the proprietress of Ruyi Building, and the proprietress and Shu Yu were side by side, more like green leaves and flowers.
Shu Yu didn't pay attention to the proprietress but walked around the store, in this scarce ancient society, the things in Ruyi Building are relatively complete, almost including women's products at that time, but in Shu Yu's opinion, there are still many things that modern women use or not.
Shu Yu found that there were a few long strips of white cloth hanging in the corner, and looked at it curiously, the length of the strip of cloth was a bit like a scarf, but the width was too wide, and they were all just a single white, Shu Yu asked the boss curiously:
"The hostess! What are you using this long strip of cloth for, the scarf is not like a scarf, the silk scarf is too long, and the width of the clothes is not enough. ”
The proprietress was obviously stunned when she heard Shu Yu's title, and she didn't react for a while, thinking that Shu Yu was talking to the maid next to her, but she didn't answer.
