Wang Pingfu shook his head: "Chai Zhengchun is very much in the state school with few classmates, I heard that he is a son of the Chai family, as if he is the nephew of today's official family, but Chai Zhengchun's father Prince Yonghe did not serve in the court, and he is an idler among the imperial family, but the strange thing is that although the emperor did not give Prince Yonghe a position, because Prince Yonghe and the official family grew up in a small place, although they are not the same mother, the relationship is very good, Chai Zhengchun is also deeply loved by the official family, but I don't know why, came to our Linchuan. ”

This question, Chai Nineteen's little maid Tongmo has already said the reason in the Zeng family, but it is the official language, and it is not worth trusting.

Banniang was a little curious about what kind of person this Chai Zhengchun was. Because he was too upright in front of people, the words that were attached to his ear that day seemed to be his own hallucination, and he was obviously a person who was like a fairy in the dust, but he did a few unreliable things.

At this time, Banniang didn't know that he would see Chai Nineteen again, but it would be a few years later. And at that time, he and she were no longer what they were at this time, and they were in the mood at this time.

Liuniang hadn't seen Chai Nineteen, but it was nothing, seeing her distracted for a while, she stroked her back and said with a smile: "But you feel stuffy in the car?" ”

Banniang came back to her senses and shook her head with a smile. Just arrived at the pen and ink shop where Wang Pingfu was going, got out of the carriage, the two maids were waiting outside, Wang Pingfu led the two sisters into the shop, and the shop guy greeted him warmly, showing that Wang Pingfu was a regular customer, and the guy said: "What do you want to buy today?" I just got a batch of good papers, do you want to take a look at the second son? ”

"I want some paper and ink, if there is a good one, just bring it up and I'll see," Wang Pingfu said with a smile, seeing that the guy was going to pick up something, he thought for a while, and then followed the guy and instructed, "I also want to buy a few smaller inkstones, if there are good ones, bring them up and I'll see." ”

The guy in the shop was very neat, and after a while, he took a few small inkstones out of the back room, followed by two guys, one holding a few knives of paper, and the other carrying a few ink cartridges.

Because it is not placed on the shelves in the store, it is thought to be a good thing for regular customers or VIPs. Wang Pingfu glanced at the paper, and found that it was neat and smooth, which was very good, so he nodded, took the ink cartridge and opened it, sniffed it and said "I want it", and then took the small inkstones from the hands of the store guys and looked at them carefully.

The inkstone is a good inkstone, the carver is also very workmany, one side is the four friends of the cold year, it is a common topic, the other side is the fish play lotus pond, also see the exquisite, the other side is the cold river fishing alone, very simple. The other two are more ordinary.

It just so happened that he wanted three parties, so he handed it to Liuniang and Banniang: "Let's see how it is, if you think it's good, I'll buy it." ”

Liuniang also had a few good inkstones at home, and after taking a closer look, it was good, so she said, "Not bad." ”

Banniang's previous life was seen and seen, and she also understood something, and the four friends of the cold year and the fish play lotus pond were also just that, and the cold river was fishing alone, but it was very agreeable, so she pointed and said: "This carving is very workmany, although it is a small inkstone, but it is simple and pale, and it is extremely rare." ”

Wang Pingfu was surprised: "Eighth sister also understands this? ”

Banniang laughed: "Where do you understand?" It's just that I like it, if it's not right, the seventh brother-in-law just talks nonsense to me. ”

Wang Pingfu didn't pay attention to it, only smiled, and then said to the shopkeeper: "The other paper and ink, you can send someone directly to the palace when you go back, and these three inkstones are also needed, wrap them for me alone, and I will take them myself." ”

The guy was a clever man, and when he heard this, he asked with a smile: "The second son is going to give it away?" I just don't know who to send, so I can pick the right packaging for the second duke. ”

Wang Pingfu glanced at Liuniang and Banniang, and said with a smile: "Just make the bag more beautiful." ”

When the guy saw him looking at Liuniang and Banniang, he probably sent these two girls in his heart: "The little one understands, the son waits, it'll be fine immediately." ”

After receiving the inkstone and going out, Wang Pingfu finished his own affairs, and asked Liuniang and Banniang: "The hour is still early, and the weather is good today, Liuniang, Bamei, where do you want to visit, why don't you go shopping?" ”

Liu Niang thought about being a guest at Wang's house, and it was not easy to buy anything, so she shook her head, but Banniang wanted to go to Tai Rui Xiang to have a look: "Is there also a gold and silver shop in Linchuan City called Tai Rui Xiang?" I want to go there and check it out. ”

Where did Wang Pingfu know, so he asked the maid who followed: "Do you know about Tairuixiang gold and silver shop?" ”

Because the two sisters were served by Xin Yi in the morning, so when they went out, Xiao Wu's sister-in-law also called Xin Yi to follow, and when she saw Wang Pingfu asking them, Xin Yi smiled and said: "If Miss Eight asks something else, the slave maid doesn't know, but this Tai Ruixiang, the new and famous one, the slave maid also accompanied the eldest and young grandmother last time, if Miss Six and Miss Eight want to see, the slave maid will lead the two young ladies to go." It's not far from here, just turn the corner in front and walk a few more steps. ”

Xin Yi's simple personality is pleased, and Banniang thanked her, and Xin Yi hurriedly said: "Oh, Miss Ba, the slave doesn't deserve this thanks." ”

Because it is very close, there is no need to use a carriage, not to mention that it is not convenient for a carriage to drive on the street, Wang Pingfu simply asked the coachman to wait here, and brought two sisters and two little maids to go.

Along the way, Xin Yi talked about Tai Ruixiang's recent popularity among the ladies of various prefectures in the city, as well as how exquisite all the jewelry is, Liu Niang and Ban Niang just pursed their lips and smiled when they heard it, not to mention that those shining jewelry were from the hands of Xiao Ba in front of him.

From time to time, I arrived in front of Tai Ruixiang's door, in the end, Linchuan is the state city, and the semicolon here is much more magnificent than that in Nanfeng City.

One side of the door is open, the black-bottomed soup gold signboard, although the façade is large, but because there are many guests, it is not empty, the business is very good, the guy inside saw that although he was not very luxuriously dressed, but he looked like a little boy with extraordinary bearing, led a few female dependents to the door, and greeted him: "What is the need for the guest officer?" ”

Wang Pingfu didn't know whether Banniang wanted to buy something or just take a look, so he only nodded slightly, and Banniang said, "The store is just busy with you, let's take a look." ”

Now there are a lot of guests who come here, and the guy is used to it, so he doesn't underestimate a few people, doing business is precious, no matter how the guests look, they all deserve the word "respect", so the guy just smiled: "Then please ask the young ladies to watch first, if there is a need for villains, just say hello." ”

said that he was blessed again, and went to greet other guests.

Banniang looked around, and the pattern she gave Wu Sanniang last time, she really didn't make all of them, only a few looks for the first time, and two styles for the second time, Shan Chen was on a cabinet shelf, Banniang asked the price, and each set of heads and faces was not less than 100 times, which was also staggering.

Seeing that those sets of heads and faces were very special, Banniang turned around, stopped in front of these jewelry and asked the price, so she asked Banniang in a low voice: "This is made according to the pattern you gave?" ”

Because there were many people around her, it was inconvenient to talk about it in detail, so Banniang only nodded. Liu Niang really didn't expect that these beautiful jewelry were from her sister's hand, she was curious, admired, and proud. After reading it, Banniang was going back, Wang Pingfu originally thought that if she fancied the one that could afford it, she was also her brother-in-law, in order to please this future sister-in-law, she could help him say a few kind words in front of Zeng Qiniang, that is, she bought it and gave it to her, and coaxed her to be happy, who knew that she only looked at the expensive one, but he couldn't afford it, so he didn't say much, just asked: "How many sets does the eighth sister like?" But I can't afford it, so I don't want to look at anything else? If there is one I like, and I can afford it, I will give two things to the eighth sister, which should also be regarded as a meeting gift. ”

Men want to admit in front of women that they don't have the ability to pay, and they don't pretend to be big, in fact, it takes courage, Wang Pingfu's honest character is likeable. Banniang smiled and said: "These are good, but they are nothing, I don't like it, didn't the seventh brother-in-law already give me a flute as a gift?" If the seventh brother-in-law really has a heart, he will treat my seventh sister better in the future, and the eighth mother will be grateful. ”

Originally, she had a seventh brother-in-law, Wang Pingfu was already very embarrassed, but she was innocent and innocent with Qi Niang, Wang Pingfu was annoyed, and it was difficult to speak, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, but also a little sweet, after all, in this era, few people put their daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door on their lips, even if they wanted to understand, they couldn't ask.

Banniang mentions Qi Niang from time to time, and occasionally reveals some things about Qi Niang, although Wang Pingfu is embarrassed, he also pretends to be unintentional and listens carefully.

But Banniang's words, he really didn't know how to answer for a while, fortunately, his maid followed behind, seeing Erlang's embarrassment, Xin Yi covered his mouth and smiled: "Ouch, there is such a powerful little sister as Miss Eight, our Erlang just wants to treat Ershao's grandmother badly in the future, don't you dare?" ”

Banniang asked Xin Yi: "I look really powerful?" ”

Xin Yi was not ambiguous, looked at Banniang, pursed his lips and smiled, and nodded seriously: "Amazing." ”

Banniang laughed.
