Chapter 26: Agarwood Pavilion
"Girl, what do you want to buy? When the woman saw Yun Qixi standing at the door, she greeted her.
The woman's voice was gentle, her eyebrows were clear, and she was smiling when she spoke, and the two long earrings swayed with her.
"Can I go in and have a look?" Yun Qixi asked with a smile.
"Absolutely." The woman hurriedly lifted the bead curtain for her, "Girl, please." ”
As soon as Yun Qixi walked in, a faint scent of sandalwood came to his nose, but the sound of the flute stopped abruptly at this moment. As if suddenly hollowed out, Yun Qixi froze in place.
"Girl, you watch first, I'll go and pour you a cup of tea." The woman turned and left.
The high ceiling is like a large oil painting, but you can't understand what it is, and all kinds of colors are mixed, like Van Gogh's abstract paintings, more like the secret code of Tibet.
Screens of different colors are neatly arranged like bookshelves in a library, and many jewelry pieces are hung on them. These jewelry elements are complex, the design is exaggerated and bold, and it has a very ethnic flavor.
In the middle of the rows of screens, a variety of rouge gouaches are displayed on the pear wood table.
Usually the places where gouache is sold have a strong smell of fat powder, but here there is no such thing at all, only a soothing light sandalwood.
Little did she know that as she slowly shuttled through the screen, admiring it all, a pair of eyes were following her in the attic.
"Girl, please have tea." The woman handed over a cup of tea.
Yun Qixi took the tea, but did not drink it, but looked at the woman's ears and praised it sincerely.
"Your earrings are beautiful."
The woman's face was slightly shy, and she smiled and pointed to the jewelry hanging on the screen.
"The girl has won the award, these are all drawings drawn by our son, the girl can take a look, maybe she can see what she likes."
"You sons? He must be a ...... A very whimsical person? ”
Yun Qixi suddenly became interested in the childe she mentioned.
"Hmm." Speaking of Childe, the smile on the woman's face brightened a lot, "Yes, our Childe is a very talented person." ”
Yun Qixi smiled, and his eyes fell on the various colored jewelry.
When the woman saw that she took down two pairs of earrings, she couldn't help but boast, "The girl is really good-looking, and these two pairs of earrings are also two that the son himself likes very much." ”
Yun Qixi frowned slightly with some annoyance, "Now that the earrings are available, it's just that there is still one ear piercing." ”
"Ear piercing?" The woman glanced at Yun Qixi's ears, "What does the girl mean?" ”
"Since you have studied women's jewelry so much, you must also have experience in piercing your ears, can you help me get an ear piercing? I want two piercings in one ear. ”
"This ......" Agarwood Pavilion has been open in Dayan's capital for so many years, and it has never encountered such a situation.
"I can pay you." Yun Qixi is convinced that money can make ghosts grind.
The woman smiled and shook her head lightly, "Childe often says that the business of Agarwood Pavilion is never just for silver, but also about the fate with guests. Since I have a relationship with the girl today, I will try to do what the girl wants, but I am afraid that it will not be done well. ”
At this moment, Yun Qixi is really becoming more and more curious about the son in her mouth.
The woman invited Yun Qixi to sit down in front of a bronze mirror, and went to prepare the things needed for ear piercing. After a while, she came out with an embroidery needle and baked it on an oil lamp.
Looking at the silver needle in the woman's hand, Yun Qixi's heart couldn't help but feel a little hairy.
In this ancient era where there was no anesthetic and no air gun, I don't know what it feels like to pierce an ear and how painful it will be? But no matter how much it hurts, she has to get this ear pierced.
The woman came to Yun Qixi with the baked needle, saw her staring at the needle in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Girl, are you afraid?" ”
It must have been her own eyes that showed a little timidity that made her ask like this.
Yun Qixi laughed dryly twice, "I'm not very afraid." ”
The woman lowered her eyes, her face a little embarrassed, "But I'm a little afraid." ”
"Huh?"
Seeing Yun Qixi's eyes widen in surprise, the woman's embarrassment was even worse, "I, I've never pierced my ears for a guest, I'm ......"
"Wanxi, I'll come." Suddenly, a mellow voice sounded in my ears.
This sound was so good that Yun Qixi's hairs stood up, and before he turned back, he felt that his earlobes were gently pinched by cold fingers, and the cool touch made Yun Qixi freeze as if he had been pointed.
He didn't rush to pierce the ear, but pinched a small pearl with his fingers and gently rolled it at her earlobe, one at a time, with moderate strength and gentle movements.
Yun Qixi looked at the bronze mirror, the man was pure white, although there was only one side face in the mirror, it could still be seen that his facial features were exquisite, his raised Danfeng eyes were half enchanting, and his expression was extremely focused and serious.
Could he be the son of Wanxi's mouth?
Yun Qixi, who has always been thick-skinned, only felt that his earlobes were getting hotter and hotter at the moment, and even his cheeks were dyed inch by inch.
