113. Compliments
Seeing that Second Sister Zhao and the female companion next to her were laughing as if no one was around, the passers-by who were provoked by the laughter turned back again and again.
I saw that the second sister Zhao was wearing a pomegranate red embroidered lotus pond swimming fish long jacket, a green cotton skirt, two silver cloves nailed on her ears, a copper gilt plum blossom hairpin on the garden hairpin, and two red silk flowers next to the temples.
When the second sister Zhao saw that passers-by looked at her, she became more and more Zhang Zhi and Qiao, and from time to time stroked her temples with her hands, lightly covered her cherry lips, her eyes flowed, and her face was springy.
Xie Xuan saw it, and was worried that when Xie Wang's family saw Second Sister Zhao's appearance, he didn't want to see it in his heart, and he didn't look good when he scolded him. I also had the heart to see what Second Sister Zhao was doing here, so I told Xie Wang to buy meat buns to eat and come back immediately.
Because this is not a county seat, most of them are villagers from nearby villages, and most of them know each other, and there are no kidnappers. Xie Wang told her to come back quickly, and stuffed her small purse with fifty copper coins, so that she could see the novelty and buy some fun.
Xie Xuan responded, turned around and walked towards Second Sister Zhao.
Next to the velvet flower stall where Second Sister Zhao was was a clay man, Xie Xuan walked over, turned her back to Second Sister Zhao, and squatted down to look at the clay figure on the ground.
"Little girl, what do you want to buy? I have miles of clay people here, fairy daughters, dolls, tigers, Zhu Bajie...... You can have it all! The stall owner was an old man wearing a cyan caftan and brown, and seeing that Xie Xuan was dressed neatly and cleanly, he knew that he was a child of a wealthy family, so he hurriedly greeted.
"Uncle, I'll take a look first, and slowly pick one!" Xie Xuan said with a smile.
When the stall owner heard this, he smiled and squinted, and hurriedly said, "Pick slowly, pick slowly!" ”
Xie Xuan picked up the clay figurines on the stall, and at the same time listened to the chatter of Second Sister Zhao behind her, peeking at them from time to time.
"Second sister, I see that this red butterfly wearing a flower sweat towel is right for you, and this tassel is also beautiful!"
Second Sister Zhao squinted at it, and pretended to be disdainful: "It's just made of ordinary muslin, I can't look down on it!" ”
The woman who sold the velvet sweat towel was a mother-in-law, and when she heard Second Sister Zhao speak, she hurriedly smiled: "The girl doesn't look down on cotton, we have silk here!" ”
As she spoke, the mother-in-law carefully took out a neatly stacked stack of sweat towels from the box next to her, put them in front of Second Sister Zhao, and introduced them with a smug face: "Look, this is jade silk, and the Liuyun Wanfu pattern on it is so exquisite!" This is Hangzhou silk, delicate green color, just for the girl! There is also this makeup satin sweat scarf, which is only used by large families......"
"Oops, it's so pretty! You look at how fine and soft the material is, it must be so expensive! A female companion wearing a bamboo yellow jacket next to her was pleasantly surprised, and she was about to reach out and take it.
"This girl, be careful, silk is no better than other cloths, if your hands are rough, you will hook silk!" The woman hurriedly reminded.
The female companion named Ye'er, who was wearing a bamboo yellow jacket, hesitated and stopped.
"Hmph, mother-in-law, don't look down on people, it's a big deal to buy it, I'm that stingy person, right?" Second Sister Zhao snorted, reached out and picked up the stack of sweat towels and looked carefully, "Where did you get all these sweat towels from?" Who did it? ”
The mother-in-law smiled all over her face and said, "Girl, I don't know, our neighborhood is full of ordinary people, where can we afford silk and satin?" This is the county town specially for the large family of the tailor shop to tailor the clothes leftovers, are the best materials, embroidery girls buy back embroidered sweat towel purse, and then sell to the purse velvet shop. This is my mother-in-law I finally bought it back from the embroidery girl, to make the baby at the bottom of the box, and wait for a few days to have a temple fair here, and those young ladies and ladies will come to Qingxuguan and incense, and sell it to them! ”
The female companion named Xiaoyan, who was wearing a bean green jacket, heard it, and looked at the stack of luxurious silk sweat towels with eagerness and helplessness, and said to Second Sister Zhao with a little envy: "Second sister, you are about to marry into the Xie family, and if you wear gold and silver in the future, isn't it trivial to buy these things?" ”
"Xiao Yan is talking about miles, I heard that the Xie family delivers food to restaurants and big families in the county every day, and one carriage is not enough, so I bought another one. It's not a trivial matter for the second sister to buy a few silk sweat towels? When you become a parent, don't you wear satin clothes every day? I can't say that when the time comes, I won't do anything, just count the money at home! A female companion in a blue jacket next to her, named Qiu Ju, said with a compliment.
When the mother-in-law who sold velvet flowers heard this, she was surprised: "Could it be that you are talking about the Xie family in Gangshang Village?" That's a big family, just buying Wang Zhaoxuan's Zhuangzi is worth hundreds of taels, and sells winter vegetables, and the big families and restaurants in the county eat his family's dishes, but it's really a daily gold! This little lady is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family? The old body is really eye-catching! ”
Second Sister Zhao listened with a smile and didn't make a sound, just picking and choosing at the stall, which was also not looked down upon.
Xiao Yan said with a smile: "I heard that when Xie Ping'an of the Xie family first looked at each other, he fell in love with our second sister at a glance, and he wanted to marry the second sister. ”
"I dare to miss our second sister, so I came here to meet!" Qiu Ju quipped.
After that, the three female companions laughed together, and the laughter contained three points of envy, three points of fun, and four points of jealousy.
Second Sister Zhao was embarrassed and annoyed by the laughter of the three of them, her willow eyebrows were lightly raised, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she said with a little disgust: "I didn't want to go that day, what is there to look at with a mud leg." I couldn't bear Mrs. Guo's begging for me, so I went. Who knew that when I got there, Xie Ping'an stared at me with his eyes, and refused to take a look away, so that people were so ashamed that they annoyed me! ”
"Really? Isn't this love at first sight, as the saying goes? Xiao Yan quipped, "That is, the second sister is so good-looking, and he can't stare at it anymore!" ”
"That's it! If you want me to say, then Xie Ping'an may not be worthy of our second sister! The appearance of our second sister is to marry into a big family as a young grandmother, no matter how bad it is, marry a showman and be a showy lady, and in the future, she will not be able to be a phoenix crown, and she should be a fate! Qiu Ju saw that Second Sister Zhao was proud, and her heart was full of jealousy, but she was pandering to compliment her.
Second Sister Zhao listened to the words of envy or compliment of the three female companions, and was proud in her heart, but her face pretended to be reserved, and she pretended to sigh and said, "Alas! I originally looked down on him, he was born with mud legs, and he didn't know a few big characters, and Mrs. Guo also said that with my appearance, it was he who climbed high and high! But that day, Xie Ping'an came to Liushutun to look for me,"
The corners of Zhao's second sister mouth turned up, her cherry lips pursed slightly, and she looked disgusted and disdainful: "It's the time when Xiaoshi passed the word, when he saw me, he pleaded and pleaded, and swore that I would not marry him, I saw that he was pitiful, and I pitied him deeply, so I had to answer his ......"
Xiaoyan, Ye'er, and Qiu Ju listened, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were all praised and envious, and the mother-in-law next to them also kept complimenting.
Second Sister Zhao became more and more pretentious and pretentious.
Xie Xuan listened to it beside him, laughing and angry, threw down four cents, bought a puff on the clay figure stall, picked it up and went to find Xie Wang's family.
