Chapter 37: Wooing
Song Kai smiled and said, "So that's the case." He casually turned around to look at the hairpins on the counter.
The atmosphere couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Song Kai seemed to be thinking about picking out a piece of jewelry here from the poppy, so the shopkeeper in the poppy shop was also quite enthusiastic, took out a rosewood box from the cabinet, and said with a smile: "Song Ergongzi can take a look at this, this is the new style of the poppy beauty this year, only this one, there is no same second branch, they are all extremely exquisite, the girl's family loves beauty, and she should wear unique jewelry." As he spoke, the shopkeeper glanced at Fan Gumin, and frowned imperceptibly.
Fan Gumin didn't see it.
He finally seized this opportunity, and he didn't plan to say goodbye to Song Kai so soon, so although he saw him picking out jewelry with a serious look, he still wanted to climb and make friends, so that he could also borrow him to make friends in Kyoto in the future.
"Hua Yu wants to buy jewelry," he stepped forward, looked at the jewelry that the shopkeeper had put out, and said with a smile: "This style is quite chic, suitable for little girls to wear, does Hua Yu want to buy the right earrings or hairpins?" I think that's all pretty good. ”
He spoke enthusiastically, which made Song Kai a little embarrassed to pick again, he stood up straight, looked at Fan Gumin and said with a smile: "It's just my sister's birthday in the house, I want to pick a few chic hairpins, since I have met Fan Gongzi, then let's take a walk and take a look, and you can also get an idea for me." With that, he turned around and walked out casually.
Fan Gumin was so happy that he knocked the palm of his hand with a fan, walked two steps faster and stood side by side, talking to him as he walked.
The shopkeeper of the remaining poppy shop was angry on the spot, and covered the rosewood box, and he was furious, and said, "How can this be true! actually fooled a big customer away! A dog-legged face, if you want to climb high, you can't go out of the store and climb again, don't you see people doing business? He huffed and put the box back.
I saw that the staff of the store, Dumb, was standing at the door of the store and looking, and I didn't know how to invite some customers to come in and have a look, so I was a little more angry, and shouted angrily: "Dumb, what are you looking at at that door!" I didn't ask you to be lazy! ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was angry, the dumb hurriedly ran back, smiling, but whispered to the shopkeeper: "Then the guest just now went to the Jinxiu Pavilion opposite!" He winked at him strangely.
The shopkeeper's name is Cai Wenzhan, and when he saw this dumb squeezing his eyes at him, he didn't know what it meant, so he became more and more annoyed, and scolded: "You dumb, can't you say it clearly!" What does it mean to squeeze your eyes, I still have time to guess with you? It's okay if you don't pay attention all day, can't you invite guests to come in and have a look when you look outside the door? I hired you to sell jewelry, but you don't know what to think about all day! The guest is the second son of the Song State Mansion, and the girls and ladies of his family are all nobles, if they can catch this guest, are they afraid that they won't buy a few expensive jewelry in a year? Why did he go to our counterpart, Jinxiu Pavilion, you are smiling so hard! With that, he flicked his sleeves angrily and walked out of the counter.
The dumb was scolded, but he was not angry, but trotted two steps to Cai Wenzhan's side and whispered a few words.
Cai Wenzhan's eyes widened when he heard this, he looked at Dumb, and didn't say anything for a long time, the dumb thought that the shopkeeper would call him smart and report such an important information to him, and was thinking about whether he would be generous and reward himself with a few small dollars, who knew that it was beautiful, but Cai Wenzhan took a sip: "You dumb!" Call you dumb, you're really stupid! Since you know that it is the young owner of Jinxiu Pavilion, why don't you tell me early? If I had told him, how could I have let him go so easily? He came to our store to explore the wind, and his peers were like enemy countries, so I actually let an enemy into the store and showed him the new style we figured out! You...... You nerd! ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so angry that he didn't look like he was playing, he hurriedly defended: "How can I have time to report to you!" He was pointing and looking at the shopkeeper Yang of Jinxiu Pavilion on the street just now, and I guessed that it should be the young owner who was about to go to Beijing as the person who worked in Jinxiu Pavilion said! As they talked, they came to us to talk to the boy! Could it be that the shopkeeper could still have trouble with him in front of Song Ergongzi? Don't forget, the second son of Song treats him as a friend! ”
Cai Wenzhan listened to this dumb and chattered at a long time, he didn't know how to be smart, so he was so angry that he wanted to reach out to find something to fight, but when Dumb saw him like this, he smashed his mouth, and he didn't dare to fight back, so he quickly jumped up and said: "The shopkeeper, I'll go and greet the guests!" Don't be angry! "I walked out of the store with a quick step.
It is impossible for Cai Wenzhan to chase him out and fight seriously.
Seeing that he slipped away quickly, he patted his chest angrily, as if he was a few years older in an instant, and regretted while walking back to the counter: "Alas, I blame myself for being soft-hearted, and I actually accepted this idiot in the store!" If it goes on like this, I'll be tired if I don't get angry with him! ”
And Fan Gumin invited Song Kai into Jinxiu Pavilion, and when he went to the inner room on the second floor, he skillfully called Yang Shopkeeper to serve good tea.
The shopkeeper Yang has also been in Beijing for decades, and the second son of the Song State Mansion has also seen it, and when he saw that Fan Gumin actually knew the second son of Song, he was also taken aback, and he didn't need Fan Gumin's orders, he had already personally gone to get the best tea to go upstairs to entertain.
Song Kai looked down from the window, and saw that the store in Jinxiu Pavilion was also very large-scale, but the store was not as attractive as the poppy, so he smiled and said: "I used to come here to buy hairpins for my sister, but I never thought that it was Fan's business, which is a coincidence." ”
Fan Gumin poured a cup of tea for Song Kai, seeing that Song Kai always treated him politely, and did not have a bad temper among the children of the family, he was also grateful to him in his heart, and saw that the Fan family's jewelry shop was also famous in Kyoto, and he felt that he had added a little more face in front of Song Kai, so he smiled and said: "In this case, I will ask Hua Yu to pick a few jewelry for a while, and it will be regarded as if I sent it to the ladies and girls in the house, Hua Yu should not be polite to me." ”
Song Kai listened, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "You talk like this, but I can't sit down anymore!" How can I let you give it away for nothing, you are in business, I should take care of you more in the future! ”
Fan Gumin was proud when he heard the spring breeze, he was just doing a personal favor just now, and he knew that Song Kai would not accept it, the Zhenguo Mansion, is there still a shortage of silver to buy jewelry? This is called retreating as advance, so as to attract Song Kai's business, so the source of customers of Zhenguo Mansion can be regarded as settled. Therefore, after a few polite words, the two of them drank tea and talked casually.
