It was night, Jiang Hongsheng rested in Qiushui Courtyard.

According to his daughter's instructions, Gu handed him the brocade box, saying that it was something he had picked up from shopping today, and he bought it and gave it to him.

Jiang Hongsheng knew early in the morning that Gu and his daughter were on the street today, and he wanted to ask what they bought? Unexpectedly, Gu handed over a brocade box. Jiang Hongsheng was deeply surprised, and couldn't help but take it out to play with it, and saw that one side was engraved with "Good luck at home, travel forever safe", and suddenly felt warm in his chest, and it was full of almost overflowing.

He put his arms around Gu, lowered his head and kissed her hair, and said softly, "What can I buy for myself?" ”

Gu Yuzhen said angrily: "Yao'er helped me take a fancy to a set of jade heads, so she forced me to buy it." ”

Gu has always been not very interested in these gold and jade, and he gave her things, but he didn't wear them, and he only had a simple pearl hairpin on weekdays, and it was rare that he was so interested today, Jiang Hongsheng hurriedly said to take a look.

Gu Yuzhen pushed Jiang Hongsheng away, took out the brocade box from the makeup, opened it and handed it to him.

Jiang Hongsheng looked at it carefully for a long time, and Fang sighed: "My daughter's vision is good, which jewelry store bought this?" It looks chic and atmospheric, wear it for me to see. ”

After that, he took out the jewelry, helped Gu put them on one by one, walked a few steps away, and looked carefully.

The emerald green, lined with Gu's white and greasy face, was brilliant under the candlelight. The beauty stood shyly, Jiang Hongsheng's heart was pounding, and his eyes lit up. It's really a beauty like jade, and jade is like a beauty.

"I said it was too precious, but Yao'er didn't say yes, this kid ......"

Jiang Hongsheng just laughed.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Gu stomped his feet, turned around and wanted to untie the things, but his hands were hugged.

A deep voice slowly rose: "Such a thing is worthy of you!" Yuzhen, you are so beautiful, let's rest soon. ”

After that, he picked up Gu and walked to the bed. For a while, the spring night in the hibiscus tent was warm, and the house was full of brilliance.

After the fact, Jiang Hongsheng hugged Gu's and said: "I spent a lot of money today, I will have someone send it tomorrow, I will send it to you, okay?" ”

Gu snorted lazily.

Jiang Hongsheng saw that his beloved wife's red lips were slightly opened, her face was delicate and red, and she seemed to sigh and be satisfied, so he was quite moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Which one bought it?" It's very close to my heart. ”

Gu Shi smiled faintly and said: "Today, from the peach blossom dock, there is a one called Jinjue Pavilion, the façade is very chic, so I was curious to go in and take a look." That Jinjue Pavilion will only open in a few days, and today it was people who deliberately looked at your second master Jiang in front of us, so they let us in, and the things are all good, but they are more expensive. Deceived me out of a lot of money. ”

Jiang Hongsheng was used in his heart, touched Gu's smooth back and smiled: "Oh, I'll take a look next time, and help you find some good things, my daughter-in-law looks good when she wears it." ”

Gu Shi pinched him hard and said, "Who is rare." ”

Jiang Hongsheng only felt that the fire that had just been extinguished immediately rushed up, hugged Gu Shi and asked for another again, before he fell asleep.

……

On the eighth day of April, Jinjue Pavilion opened quietly, calmly without causing any waves.

On a morning more than ten days later, the old teahouse "Sanwanchang" on Shantang Street, the most prosperous and lively in Suzhou City, came to two brocade clothes, one gray and one green.

The two of them found the two innermost positions, ordered a pot of good tea, two small snacks, and chatted slowly over tea.

The sharp-eyed guy saw that the two of them had an extraordinary bearing, and they looked like rich and noble children, and greeted them politely at the moment.

"Sanwanchang" has always been a rich idler, a good place for talented people to eat morning tea, a pot of tea in the stomach, the heart is settled. Then stop eating breakfast, drink slowly, talk about the world, and talk about the vicissitudes of life, which is really comfortable.

"Sanwanchang" charges quite high, tea, pastries and tea house partners are the signature of this store, if there is no wealth, people do not dare to come here to consume.

The gray-clothed young man said: "Uncle had good luck yesterday, and he got a big treasure for a hundred silver, and I only got a broken stone." Uncle and nephew served. ”

The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi stroked a few sparse beards and said triumphantly: "The ancients said, 'A gentleman has no reason, and jade doesn't go to his body', how can your uncle and I look away from what I have played with since I was a child?" The boss of Jinjue Pavilion is too stupid, looking at the current world, there are a few rich and noble, scholars and brothers, didn't they grow up playing with these objects since childhood? Take a few stones out to gamble on the guests, and you are not afraid to accompany the bottom to the sky. ”

The gray-clothed young man said with a smile: "That Jinjue Pavilion boss looks like he has a bit of a family background, and things are not ordinary, and my nephew really doesn't dare to go without enough silver." ”

The man in Tsing Yi nodded and said, "If you don't have a little family background, how can you afford this?" You, study hard, dare to go back, and then choose a few treasures and give them to the second elder, so as to make the second elder happy, right? By the way, go and gamble again, see if you have the eyesight and luck, and make a big deal with a small one. ”

……

The two chatted over tea. Unexpectedly, four men in brocade clothes at the table next to him were listening with their ears squeaked.

The two of them were full of food and drink, and wanted to let the guys settle the bill.

The four people next to him glanced at each other, and one of them was fanning, hurriedly stepped forward to clench his fists, and said loudly: "Two sons, the accent doesn't look like they are from Suzhou Mansion, dare to ask what the Jinjue Pavilion you just said is for?" How to make a big deal with a small one? ”

The gray-clothed young man also saluted: "Childe is polite." We are passing by Suzhou Mansion, yesterday all the way to enjoy, to Taohuawu Lane, see a newly opened shop, is the Jinjue Pavilion, go in to sit for a while, drink a sip of hot tea. ”

The fan man smiled: "It turned out to be a newly opened shop, so strange that I haven't heard of it, and the name looks like a jade shop." ”

The gray-clothed young man smiled: "Childe is very knowledgeable, this jade shop is not an ordinary shop. If you want me to say, it is also the first part of your Suzhou Mansion, not to mention the quality of things for the time being, in terms of the boss's personality and bearing, it is already extraordinary. ”

The fan man was curious: "Oh, how do you say this?" ”

The young man in gray said, "What do I say about this? I can't tell! I can't tell! If Childe is interested, go and see for yourself. The boss specially confessed, not to be quiet, not to be quiet! Talking so much today, it can be regarded as breaking other people's rules. ”

The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi dropped the silver, hugged his fists and said, "Childe doesn't need to ask more, just take a look for yourself." In the next hurry, one step ahead, there will be a period later". At that moment, he pulled the gray-clothed young man and hurriedly walked out.

The fan man snorted coldly, the fan shook vigorously, returned to his seat and said angrily: "What is mysterious and secretive, small and big?" Let's go to this Jinjue Pavilion to see what the first jade shop in Suzhou City is like? ”

The four of them paid for the tea and rode forward one after another.

When the two tables left, everyone in the teahouse was talking, and someone simply called the guy to ask him clearly.

The guy tilted his head and thought for a long time, only saying that the person at the first table spent a hundred taels of silver in Jinjue Pavilion in Taohuawu Lane and got a big treasure, as for how to get it, he didn't hear it clearly.

When the crowd saw that they couldn't ask anything, they dispersed in an uproar!

……

On the second day, the fan man and his party of four came in proudly. This is the busiest time for the teahouse. The man was sharp-eyed and hurriedly stepped forward to wait.

The four of them sat down, and the fan man waved his hand and said, "Brothers, I'll treat you today." ”

The guy stepped forward and quipped: "Yo, Mr. Guan, I look so good today, but what's the happy thing?" ”

The fan man laughed: "Where, where, I just got a baby, and I am happy?" ”

The guy smiled and asked, "Guan Gongzi, where did you get the baby, to make you like this?" ”

The four of them laughed without saying a word, picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully, and after an hour, they walked away.

A few days later, the name of Jinjue Pavilion in Taohuawu Lane spread among the men of the upper class of Suzhou Prefecture.

……

On this day, Jiang Hongsheng came to Qiushui Courtyard with an excited face, and said to Gu: "Yuzhen, the gourd pendant you gave me a few days ago was picked up in Jinjue Pavilion?" ”

Gu Shi wondered: "Second master, what's the matter, is it possible that I can't lie to you?" ”

Jiang Hongsheng hurriedly smiled and said: "Where do you want to go, I went to Taohuawu with my eldest brother today, hey, don't say it, there are so many treasures in this Jinjue Pavilion, they are really all good things, and my eldest brother's eyes are straight." ”

Gu Shi smiled: "The eldest master is not a person who has never seen the world, what kind of treasure makes his eyes straight?" ”

Jiang Hongsheng sighed: "It stands to reason that the eldest brother and I have grown up in a rich nest, and I have seen a lot of things since I was a child. ”

Gu's smile became a little more and more vigorous, and he said angrily: "The second master is coaxing me, I think those treasures in my mother's treasury, jade are really good things." ”

Jiang Hongsheng took the teacup handed by Xia He, took a sip and said with a smile: "Mother's things are good, but they are too expensive and clichéd. In my opinion, it is more elegant than that of Jinjue Pavilion. ”

Gu chuckled and said, "The Hou Mansion is so rich, how can it be so clichéd?" ”

Jiang Hongsheng took Gu's hand and said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, let's go back and take a look, Fang confirms that what I said is true!" ”

Gu's autumn water was full of water, and he nodded with a smile.

……

Jiang Xinyao was sitting in the courtyard at this time, smelling the fragrance of flowers, basking in the sun, and closing her eyes to recuperate.

Yinggui hurriedly walked to the young lady's side and whispered in the young lady's ear: "Yan Ming just came to the news, and the whole master said that everything was as the young lady expected. ”

Jiang Xinyao was too lazy to open her eyes, the sun warmed her body, and she wanted to sleep, her mind was blank at this time, and she just nodded.

Seeing that Miss was sleepy in spring, Ying Gui didn't say much, so she lightly took a thin blanket from the house and covered it for Xin Yao, moved a bamboo chair by herself, and guarded the side to do needlework.

Jiang Xinyao woke up from sleep, refreshed, walked to the desk, thought about it for a long time, and picked up the pen overnight. After drying, he stuffed the envelope, called Li's mother, and asked her to send it to Taohuawu Lane, while he took the maid to Qiushui Courtyard.

In the evening, Jiang Quan, Jiang Fu, and the shopkeeper Qian had dinner and gathered on the second floor to take stock.

The money shopkeeper skillfully calculated, and calculated a rough idea in a few minutes, and said with a smile: "Master Quan, Master Fu, since the opening of the month ago, we have 26,000 taels of silver in the account, which can be regarded as a good opening." ”

Jiang Fu sighed: "Miss's idea is really amazing, Master, this play is worth singing." ”
