After a while, Xu Er walked out of the curtain and said while making a gesture: "I don't know that there are distinguished guests coming, and it is Xiao Ke's sin to miss the welcome." ”

Yu Yao said: "Who should I be?" It turned out to be Boss Xu. ”

Xu Er was stunned when he heard this, and said: "A few distinguished guests looked at Miansheng, and their accents were not like Xiangzhou people's, how could they recognize me?" ”

Yu Yao said with a smile: "When we entered the city that day, we happened to meet Boss Xu as a witness in the yamen. ”

Xu Er said: "Oh, it turned out to be that incident, alas, shame, shame!" ”

Yu Yao said: "Boss Xu went to court to avenge the deceased, and his merits are immeasurable, how can he be ashamed?" ”

Xu Erdao: "Don't hide it from a few people, my family has been a gold shop in this Xiangzhou city for generations, and it is also a well-known rich family, that Gongsun Aunt came from the countryside, I saw that she was pitiful, and I helped her." But then she developed her own skills and opened a shop, but she only returned the money to me, and turned a deaf ear to my other thoughts! Am I asking for the money she gave me? How much money I don't have? Now it's good to go! Not only did I fail to ask for marriage, but I also made the whole city laugh at me for wanting to eat swan meat! Originally, I greeted guests on the counter every day, but I was lazy these days, and I didn't want to be pointed at, so I let a few guys deal with it outside. If it weren't for the presence of a distinguished guest today, I would never have shown my face. ”

Yu Yao said: "I see! My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Originally, there was nothing unseemly. ”

Xu Er changed the topic and said, "How many people are here today to buy a piece of gold jewelry?" ”

Yu Yao said: "Yes, we want to pick a piece of jewelry for our sister." ”

Xu Er said: "It's rare, it's rare." It is rare for two brothers to accompany the little sister of the family to buy jewelry. I'm going to pick the best one. ”

Xu Er took out a brass key from his arms, opened a dark cabinet in the corner, took out a rosewood gilt box from it, and said, "You are all knowledgeable, I don't take out these treasures easily." ”

The rosewood gilt box also wore a small gold lock, and Xu Er conjured a pocket gold key from his sleeve and opened it together.

For a moment, the room was full of golden light and dazzling.

Xu Er said: "Everyone, please see, this is made by my grandfather, and ordinary guests are too troublesome to take a look at me." ”

It turned out to be a set of magnificent gold-backed jade combs.

As early as the early Tang Dynasty, aristocratic women used gold combs and jade combs to decorate their hair. At first, only one comb was inserted in front of the bun, and then gradually increased, with two combs in a group, and the top and bottom were inserted opposite each other. Later, when women dressed up, there were three sets of insertions in front of the bun and on both sides. At the same time, the decoration of the comb back is becoming more and more opulent.

This set of gold-backed jade combs has three groups of six. The jade inlaid in it is all extremely pure quality Uighur Hetian jade, and the workmanship is fine but not blindly carved and piled up, it is indeed a rare treasure.

Xu Er continued to explain: "Everyone, please take a closer look, if each group is looked at together, the carving on it is an ancient legend. These three groups are Nuwa Mending the Sky, Jingwei Reclamation and Chang'e Running to the Moon. ”

Wen Cang said: "This is strange, what I see on weekdays are Xi Shi Huansha and Zhaojun out of the plug, what do you say?" ”

Xu Er said with a smile: "That's all used by ordinary women, and if you don't have the beauty of Xi Shi and Zhaojun, you have to draw and carve it out, so that you can worship every day and pray for beauty." But this young lady not only has an unearthly appearance, but also an unspeakably expensive temperament, so why use those vulgar things? This Nuwa mends the sky to make up for the shortcomings, Jingwei reclamation says unswerving, and Chang'e runs to the moon to say that youth stays forever, which is not the best kindness? ”

Yu Yao said: "Boss Xu is right. After speaking, he glanced at Youwei again, and continued: "Then take it!" Please wrap it up for us, and I'll ask the maid to come and pay for it later. ”

Xu Er smiled and said, "Yes!" Wrap it up for you right away! ”

Yu Yao said: "Boss Xu is really good-hearted, he has both thousands of family wealth and skills, and he wants to come to this Xiangzhou City girl to line up to marry into the Xu family, how can he fall in love with a half-old who cooks?" ”

Xu Er said helplessly: "Isn't it?" Everyone says I'm obsessed, and I don't know what's wrong with me, how many yellow flower girls rush to fill my house, I can't look down on it, so I'm thinking about that vicious woman! In my opinion, that woman is eighty percent good at witchcraft, and after eating her food, she will fall into her Gu, and she is willing to drive for her! Not to mention that I, a mortal with a lowly status, is the little son of Yuan Ge's hometown who dug out his heart and liver for her. ”

Hearing this, Yu Yao unconsciously mentioned it and asked, "Dig out your heart and cut your liver?" Not really, right? ”

Xu Er said: "Why not?" If it weren't for their secret songs, why would the little son of the Yuan family beat me up? After that, he sent someone to threaten me that if I dared to go to the spring banquet again, he would smash my shop to pieces! ”

Yu Yao said: "I'm afraid this is unbelievable, Yuan Xiaogongzi grew up in the brocade jade bush since he was a child, and he has a good wife and beautiful concubine at home." If it is said that the road is uneven, it is possible to draw a sword to help, but if it is said that he and Aunt Gongsun have other thoughts, it ......"

Xu Er was in a hurry, and swore a curse: "If I tell nonsense, I won't die well!" He Yuan Zhiwang must have taken a fancy to that woman and wanted to keep it for himself, so he beat me again and again! That time he sent someone to my shop to find faults, and I told his family that the mother-in-law's husband had returned, and whether it was me or him, in the future, I would have no share! ”

Yu Yao said: "What about after that? ”

Xu Er said: "He hasn't sent anyone since then." I'm also a serious person, I originally wanted to let the woman be my wife when the media was marrying, and I would stop when my husband came back. Hmph, I hate that mother-in-law who wants to give that famous son blue eyes! Can someone marry her as a wife or a concubine? I'm afraid I'm going to be blasted out as soon as I enter the door, and I can't help myself! ”

Youwei sneered: "I can't imagine that Boss Xu is with gold and silver every day, but he is still a lover!" ”

Xu Er said ashamedly: "Miss smiled." Although I am a rough person, this century-old shop has always been based on sincerity, and I can't say anything about deception! Unlike the thief mother-in-law, she ushered in the send-off and secretly handed over the autumn wave on weekdays, and when she arrived in the court, she was also untruthful, without a word of truth! ”

Yu Yao said: "Boss Xu is not worried, people are still locked up in prison at the moment, and right and wrong have their own opinions." Let's take our leave! ”

Xu Er respectfully sent the three of them out of the door, turned back to the shop, wrapped the rosewood gilt box, and waited for Yu Yao to send someone to pick it up.
