Chapter 138: Congratulatory Gifts
As soon as the brother and sister went on the street, they went straight to West Street, which specializes in selling porcelain, but unfortunately they visited all the porcelain shops on both sides of West Street all the way, and Gu Zheng didn't pick the porcelain he wanted.
Gu Feng was already so tired that his feet were numb, and he was still in high spirits after seeing Gu Zheng go down the whole street, and he didn't feel tired at all, while secretly sighing Gu Zheng's shopping skills, he pointed to the teahouse not far away and proposed: "Sister, this good thing is hard to find for a while, why don't we go to the teahouse in front of us for a while, and then go somewhere else to continue to choose?" β
Although Gu Zheng didn't feel tired, but he was a little thirsty, he nodded in response to Gu Feng's proposal, and the two brothers and sisters took the maid and the little maid to the teahouse together, and the four masters and servants had just taken their seats, and there was one more person Gu Feng didn't want to see the mostβββ Liang Jingxian.
Liang Jingxian hadn't seen Gu Zheng for a few days, and now he accidentally met someone in the teahouse, so he unceremoniously sat at the same table with Gu Zheng and them, and took the initiative to ask Gu Zheng the reason why he went out: "How did Zheng Niang come out today?" β
Gu Feng looked at the table with a straight face and corrected unhappily: "You should call my sister 'Seventh Sister', don't mess around, we are not familiar with you!" β
Liang Jingxian didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Feng, he only turned his head and ordered the little guy behind him, Gu Zheng on the opposite side vaguely heard the word "Mingyue", and couldn't help asking: "Yueniang is also nearby?" β
Liang Jingxian smiled and nodded: "Well, that girl insisted on pulling me to accompany her shopping today, and now she is relying on the antique shop below and refuses to leave, I have asked Taqing to invite her over...... If she had known that you were out shopping, she would have been very happy to walk with you. β
After Liang Jingxian finished speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Gu Feng obliquely, and saw that Gu Feng heard that the county lord of Mingyue was also nearby, and his face immediately became very ugly, and his mood immediately became a lot happier, completely basing his happiness on Gu Feng's pain, and looking forward to the surprise of the county lord of Mingyue after seeing Gu Feng with a sense of schadenfreude.
Gu Zheng didn't know the bad water that Liang Jingxian hid in his stomach, so he only casually answered the question Liang Jingxian asked before: "Seeing that my grandmother's birthday is approaching, I know that my grandmother has always liked to collect porcelain, so I begged my brother to take me out on the street, wanting to pick a unique piece of porcelain to give to my grandmother as a gift...... It's a pity that we've already turned around all the porcelain shops on West Street, and we haven't picked a porcelain that is both satisfactory and suitable. β
Before Gu Zheng's words fell, he heard the county lord Mingyue answer with a smile: "What's so difficult about this?" I know that there are a few humble antique shops hidden in a small alley on East Main Street, but they have a lot of good goods! Those antique shops not only sell all kinds of porcelain handed down by predecessors, but also new porcelain that has just been fired. β
Gu Zheng listened with surprise and anticipation on his face: "Really? Then you have to bother, Yueniang, you take me for a trip. β
"What bothers without bothering? Isn't it just to go shopping with you? Anyway, I would have liked to visit a few more places! Lord Mingyue pointed at Liang Jingxian and Gu Feng with a smile and asked, "The two elder brothers will also go with us, right?" Cousin Cen, I still want to hear some interesting stories about going to sea, can you tell me about it later?! β
"Of course I'll go with you."
Liang Jingxian never let go of any opportunity to get along with Gu Zheng, so he answered very happily, but Gu Feng glanced at the county lord Mingyue with a depressed face, and then nodded reluctantlyβββ if he didn't want to keep an eye on Liang Jingxian and his simple and deceitful sister, he wouldn't want to go shopping with the pestering guy of Mingyue!
So a few people had a tea break for a while and then went to Dongdajie together, on the way, the county lord of Mingyue pulled Gu Zheng with great interest and introduced: "I heard my father say that there is a strange and rare porcelain, not according to the style, suddenly becomes, or appears in the shape of a fish, or a floating fruit shadow, it is the best in porcelain!" If you can find such a superb product to give to your grandmother, she will like it very much! β
Gu Zheng carefully pondered the words of the county lord of Mingyue, and only then did he comprehend the essence of the 'essence', and couldn't help but exclaim: "The porcelain that is not fired according to the manufacturing method is not the porcelain that is fired by pure nature?" Is there really such porcelain? β
Liang Jingxian, who was on the side, opened his mouth and added: "Ming Yue is talking about porcelain that has undergone kiln changes, and no one knows how this kind of porcelain is fired, even if they are priceless, they have always been unattainable." β
While speaking, several people had already entered an inconspicuous antique shop located on East Street, Gu Zheng didn't have time to ask Liang Jingxian what the kiln meant, the county lord of Mingyue had already pulled her to the Bogu frame to select porcelain, and was very enthusiastic to Gu Zheng as a staff officer and give advice, so that Gu Zheng could only put the doubts in his heart behind for the time being, and concentrate on selecting porcelain with the county lord of Mingyue.
This review Zheng quickly picked a coral red dark eight immortals, depicting the golden longevity word and color 'flower' goblet, I think this 'flower' goblet bought back is not limited to which corner of the house to swing, and then 'insert' a few 'color' 'bright' peony or peony 'medicine', it will become a magnificent beauty, 'flower' and goblet set off each other, self-revealing a wealth and festive atmosphere.
Being able to pick a favorite birthday gift made Gu Zheng smile with big eyes, and he was reluctant to let go when he hugged the 'flower' goblet, which made Liang Jingxian feel very cute when he saw it, shook his head with a smile, and took out a bag of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper: "We want this 'flower' goblet." β
When Gu Feng saw it, he immediately took a step forward and grabbed the money bag that Liang Jingxian threw on the counter, and unceremoniously threw it back into Liang Jingxian's arms: "We have the money to buy it ourselves, we don't have to pay for it!" β
"Yes, this is my birthday gift for my grandmother, if I ask Cousin Liang to give the money, wouldn't it seem that I am too unfilial and sincere?" Gu Zheng "handed over" the 'flower' to the shopkeeper and put it in the brocade box embroidered with red engraved silk and Ruyi gold pattern, and asked the shopkeeper with a smile: "How much silver does this 'flower' gob cost?" We are guests brought by the county lord of Mingyue, if the shopkeeper opens a high price to cheat us of silver, be careful that the county lord smashes your antique shop. β
The shopkeeper said "don't dare" again and again, and also sold a favor to the county lord of Mingyue and opened a more realistic price: "This is a good 'flower' goose produced in Jingdezhen, although it is not a valuable precious antique, but because of the workmanship, it will cost at least two hundred taels of silver." β
Gu Zheng walked down all the way, and more or less knew some of the market, and when she saw Liang Jingxian nodding slightly at her, she knew that the shopkeeper was not shouting the price indiscriminately, so he paid the silver very happily and bought the 'flower' Yao...... At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the back hall, which vaguely sounded like the sound of adults beating and scolding, children crying for mercy, and the sound of porcelain breaking the ground.
When the shopkeeper saw that Gu Zheng and the others were attracted by the movement in the back hall, he immediately blocked everyone's inquiring sight with a smile, and said with a little apology: "Xiaopu just bought a few new guys from Renyazi, and the second shopkeeper is mediating them and teaching them some rules...... Because it was newly bought and didn't understand the rules, it made a few distinguished customers see jokes. β
The shopkeeper's mediation of the newly bought guys will inevitably beat and scold and train according to the rules, which is normal in the eyes of Gu Zheng and others, so they nodded with a clear face after listening to the shopkeeper's words, no longer attracted by the movement from the back hall, and the group turned around and walked outside the shop......
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a thin figure suddenly ran out of the back hall, rushed to the back hall, hugged the left foot of Gu Zheng, who was walking last, and begged in a dumb voice: "Please save your life!" Please save my sister, they want to take us to the sacrifice kiln, our sister has been beaten by them and fainted, I tried my best to escape outside, please be merciful and save my sister! β
Holding Gu Zheng's left foot was a child about nine or ten years old, his face and body were all dirty, and even the skin that was 'naked' and 'exposed' outside his clothes had shocking whip marks and blood stains, which scared Gu Zheng into subconsciously shrinking back, but she didn't dare to break free of the child holding her foot, for fear that it would hurt him, and she was in a dilemma for a while, and she almost couldn't stand steadily.
Liang Jingxian quickly held Gu Zheng with his eyes, and ordered the boy with a calm face: "Let go." β
Although Liang Jingxian didn't say any threatening words to the boy, the momentum that suddenly emanated from his body made the boy's body tremble subconsciously, and then raised his head to Liang Jingxian's sharp and cold gaze, he couldn't help but subconsciously let go of the hands that firmly held Gu Zheng's left foot, and explained in fear: "I just want to ask the noble man to save my sister, she is still very young, only six years old, she shouldn't have lost her 'life' like this......"
