Chapter 10: The Mysterious Man
The jewelry of this Zhong Cui Lou is one of the best in the town, and generally people who have no family background dare not enter Zhong Cui Lou, after all, a gold hairpin can cost one or two silver. One or two pieces of silver is equivalent to a month's living expenses of an ordinary family, and this Liu Xiangxiang is also a big deal.
"Shopkeeper, please help me wrap this one." Liu Xiangxiang handed it to a middle-aged man with a short beard.
"Okay, Miss Xiangxiang comes to visit the shop every month, thank you so much." The shopkeeper said to Liu Xiangxiang. Yuluo is very curious, is this shopkeeper enthusiastic about the guests or what, this Liu Xiangxiang is not a lady. I almost nodded and talked to her.
When she finally left, Liu Xiangxiang bought a total of a gold hairpin, two step shakes, a pair of earrings, and two bracelets. Sure enough, women in the whole universe are the same, and life is not complete without buying, buying, buying, buying.
The two walked around for a while, and then found a courtyard where they sang and sat down to drink tea.
"The rain falls, look at this step shake, I heard the shopkeeper say that this step shake is a popular model in the capital, and the girls in the capital all bring this one." When he was sitting and listening to the play, Liu Xiangxiang took out the jewelry he had just bought.
"Well, it's pretty good." It's not perfunctory Liu Xiangxiang, the craftsmanship of the ancients is not blown.
Liu Xiangxiang saw that Yuluo was interested in this, so she couldn't help but want to show off, so she gushed about the flowers and hairpins in her house, and I heard that there were still a few satin clothes, and let Yuluo go to their house next time.
Yuluo listened to Liu Xiangxiang introducing the good things in her home there, and she didn't know that she thought she was a salesman and wanted Yuluo to buy something. It's also funny, Yuluo just smiled and didn't speak, he drank two sips of tea without anything, and poured Liu Xiangxiang a cup by the way, he must have said that he was thirsty after talking for so long.
The actors on the stage are still singing, babbling and playing, although Yuluo can't understand it, they also find it interesting, and they hum two sentences to the rhythm of gongs and drums from time to time. Seeing that Yu was not listening to her, Liu Xiangxiang snorted, picked up the tea in front of her and drank it.
Also in this teahouse, in a private room on the third floor, there are two men sitting in extraordinary clothes, and the important thing is that the nobility of the whole body cannot be concealed even if they wear ordinary clothes. One person was dressed in purple, looking calm and steady, and his face was expressionless and he watched the play downstairs from the private stands; The other was dressed in white and held a folding fan and shook it from time to time, laughing as the plot of the opera changed. Behind them stood two people, presumably personal attendants.
Listening to the play, a person suddenly flashed in from the window, kneeling in front of the two of them, the man in purple nodded, and the man got up and whispered something to the man in purple, and the man in purple waved his hand, and the man disappeared again.
"How's that!" The man in white asked, leaning sideways.
"Two days later, Lanhe Village!" Ziyi said.
Bai Yi nodded and continued to watch the play.
Yuluo listened to the play and munched on melon seeds, Liu Xiangxiang has been playing with the things she bought today. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and I saw Xiao Er downstairs bowing his head and bowing his waist to welcome a man who was not tall and slightly round, and the man was followed by two people dressed as small servants, thinking about which rich boy he was.
Liu Xiangxiang also looked at the sound, and when she saw the person, she was very excited, and she lay on the edge of the fence and shouted, "Cousin! He shouted and waved his hand.
The round boy turned around and saw Liu Xiangxiang and waved at her. For a while, the pace of going upstairs was accelerated.
