Chapter Thirty-Eight
The head of jewelry has always been popular in Beijing, and if you don't pick the quality, many gold and silver shops have made and sold them.
But when it comes to pros and cons, the price is very different.
Good dots are hard to find.
Gu Yunjin remembered that when she first entered the capital, she was not proficient in the quality of various decorations, and she didn't know what the girls in Beijing liked.
Xu Lingjie took great pains to teach Gu Yunjin, and finally added a vulgar and uninformed cousin, eager to pour all the scholarly and famous girls who should understand and know everything to Gu Yunjin, and they said a little green at that time.
Xu Lingjie is particularly fond of Diancui jewelry, and praises this craft, and can talk for a long time.
Later, when Xu Lingjie was preparing to get married, she was bent on adding a whole set of good dots to herself, but the Yang family did not agree to her, she also went to the Yang family to find Gu Yunjin and cried for an hour, until the Yang family came, coaxed and persuaded, and did not let Xu Lingjie let go of this thought.
The Yang family couldn't screw her in the end, and it was embarrassing to put inferior things in the dowry, so she could only spend money and ideas, and finally got a good set of goods for Xu Lingjie.
Nian Xia didn't tell Gu Yunjin in person, and chatted a few words with Fu Dong: "I can't see what's good about this bit of cui, I dislike the blood on the hands of the generals, dare to cut people and stab people, but their delicate girls just like to pluck feathers from birds, and the ones that are plucked one by one are not also full of blood?" β
These words finally fell into Xu Lingjie's ears, and she said to Gu Yunjin with disdain that Nian Xia was vulgar and had no vision.
At that time, Gu Yunjin was still wholeheartedly admiring the fragrance of books, and Xu Lingjie couldn't get off the stage, so she couldn't help complaining about Nian Xia.
Later, Nian Xia inquired about what Shi Ying had done, Gu Yunjin was attentive to Diancui, and recited the sentence "If you can go there, it can be seen that this hairpin is a first-class product."
Recalling these, Gu Yunjin was happy for a while.
She read the booklet, in Shi's dowry, there is only one piece of Aocui, which one Shi Ying used to be, and now it should still be an old shop.
Although Gu Yunjin didn't remember the specific name of the pawnshop, with the sentence she remembered, she could be sure that it was a big pawnshop in Beijing that only collected good things.
In this way, there are only three or five of them.
Compared with the original thought of Haidilao needle, this is already a big progress.
This night, Gu Yunjin slept comfortably, and the next day he made a list of things on the paper, and asked people to send them back to Beisan Hutong, saying that let Xu pick it slowly, and it would be decided before Qingming.
On the day of going out, Yang asked people to prepare a sedan chair: "Folding ingots is dedicated, and the mind is more important than anything else, don't be tired, you can also bring this to the eldest sister, she is not in good health, and she has to keep it." β
"Auntie, this is not a hard work, our wife won't even be able to do such a little thing, she won't be lazy," Gu Yunjin pretended not to hear Yang's provocation, and pointed to the sedan chair and said, "It's only a quarter of an hour or two to get to Beisan Hutong, the weather is good today, I'll just walk back, I don't need a sedan chair." β
Yang didn't want to listen to what was said outside, "The cousin girl of the Shilang Mansion didn't even sit in a sedan chair when she went out", so he waved his hand again and again: "I can't help it." β
Gu Yunjin took the hat from Nian Xia's hand, put it on his head, and said with a smile: "I sat in a sedan chair when I fell into the water and was weak all the way back, but it's boring, aunt, you hurt me, let me go by myself." β
Speaking of this, Yang's persuasive words were blocked in her throat, and Mama Shao on the side couldn't help but give her a look, and Yang realized a spirit: "In this way, the eldest aunt asked Xi Yu to send you back, you can walk and relax, and the eldest aunt can rest assured." β
As soon as Yang Xiyu was mentioned, half of Gu Yunjin's head hurt, and he hurriedly said: "I'll go back to fold ingots, it's not something that can be happy, don't let my cousin work hard." β
After finishing speaking, Gu Yunjin didn't stay any longer, greeted the two maids, and walked out of the Orchid Garden quickly.
She didn't want to talk to the Yang family slowly, in case the Yang family dragged her steps on the one hand, and made someone call Yang Xiyu on the other hand, if the others came, how could she push it?
You can't go out and let Nian Xia knock Yang Xiyu out with a stick.
Although, Gu Yunjin really wanted to do this.
The footsteps did not stop, out of Qingliu Hutong, around to the East Street, and the surroundings suddenly became lively.
Gu Yunjin wanted to go to a few pawnshops to ask, naturally she couldn't sit in the Xu family's sedan chair, but fortunately, these days she followed Nianxia to squat on the horse, she and Fudong's feet were much stronger than before, and they were not afraid to walk more.
There was a big pawnshop on the east street, with a bright faΓ§ade, Gu Yunjin asked a few words, and several courtiers shook their heads and didn't answer clearly, so she had to leave.
Fu Dong frowned and asked, "How did the girl think of looking for something in the pawnshop?" You should let the slave and maid do this, so that people know that you are in and out of the pawnshop, and you don't know what to say. β
Gu Yunjin smiled and said, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, if you cover your hat, who knows who I am." I remember there was another one down the next street, so let's ask. β
Fu Dong shook his head and said: "I said that I went back early in the morning, and it was just a little bit of work from Qingliu Hutong to Beisan Hutong, the girl was delayed, and my wife and grandmother must be in a hurry." The girl might as well go back first, and then come out to inquire in the afternoon when the slave maid and Nian Xia come out. β
Gu Yunjin was slightly stunned, her relationship with the Xu family and the Wu family was not good in the past, when to go and when to return, she always did what she wanted, she was used to this, but she forgot, now it is different from before.
She is now unwilling to let the Xu family and the Wu family worry about her unnecessary care.
"That's right, let's go from the river, and the road is closer." Gu Yunjin responded.
Before I could leave, I heard someone call Miss Gu.
Gu Yunjin was surprised, followed the prestige, and saw that it was the doctor who called her from the previous time.
"The eyes are so sharp that you can recognize them." Gu Yunjin said.
The doctor carried the medicine box on her back, as if she had just returned from the consultation, and said with a smile: "I saw your maid." How is the girl doing these days? β
"It doesn't matter to me, it's our wife's, you have to take a look at her when you're free, she's an old problem, and she can't stop taking medicine." Gu Yunjin said.
Under the tree not far away, two young men in brocade clothes stopped, and happened to listen to this conversation that was not light or heavy, exchanged glances, and one of them greeted the little maid and gave an order.
"Do as I say, pay attention to proportion," the young man said, "Let people wait here again, and when Jiang Muyuan comes, tell him that we will not go to Suxianglou, but to the restaurant by the river in front." β
The little guy had a bitter face and hesitated: "Master, this thing is not appropriate, right?" Pretty much something......"
"That's why I told you to pay attention!" The young man patted the little guy on the back and said, "Hurry up, or it'll be too late." β
