Chapter 16 Man by Clothing, Horse by Saddle
At night, Guo Xiaoxiao walked outside to the corridor to watch the moon. Tonight is the fifteenth, so the moon is exceptionally round.
The name of this shop is "Breeze Xulai", which must be due to the poem "Breeze Xulai, the water waves are not prosperous". Guo Xiaoxiao was thinking like this, and at some point, there was a person standing beside him.
Guo Xiaoxiao's anger during the day had disappeared, and when she saw Jiang Zhiyuan, she didn't leave or speak.
After a few minutes, Jiang Zhiyuan said, "Come out to see the moon and don't call me." ”
"The moon is in the sky, no one can take it off, what difference is it if you come out earlier and look at it later?"
"Yes."
"What?" Guo Xiaoxiao looked at him.
"If I come out a minute earlier, I'll be able to stay with you for an extra minute." He met her eyes.
"Don't say these things to coax me." Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at the moon.
At this moment, Li Xiangcheng came up with a fruit plate. She said: "Gongzi Jiang, Miss Guo, Xiangcheng went to the kitchen and got some watermelon to cool off with Xiao Er, let's try it." ”
Jiang Zhiyuan first glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao and said to Li Xiangcheng: "Thank you, I don't want to eat." ”
Li Xiangcheng said again: "What about Miss Guo?
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't answer, Jiang Zhiyuan said: "The eldest lady doesn't want to eat either, you can take it." ”
Li Xiangcheng nodded and retreated.
Jiang Zhiyuan said: "Why do you bother to show her face? ”
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't speak.
"She's also well-intentioned." He persuaded.
"Are you here to quarrel with me?" Guo Xiaoxiao turned to look at him, "But I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you now." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao just wanted to go back to the room when Jiang Zhiyuan grabbed his wrist.
"You don't make any more noise, okay?"
"Trouble?" Guo Xiaoxiao frowned and asked him, "Do you think I'm messing with you?" ”
"You're not fooling around, what's that? I didn't say anything about you during the day, and let you lose your temper, but after all this time, why are you still like this? ”
"Me!" Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, "Okay, okay, I won't make a fuss." From tomorrow onwards, I will treat the person surnamed Li as my own sister, give her good food, clothing, fine clothes and food, whatever she says, are you satisfied? ”
Jiang Zhiyuan was speechless. Faced with Guo Xiaoxiao's angry departure, he no longer paid attention to it. I didn't expect Guo Xiaoxiao to be so unreasonable.
Jiang Feng saw Jiang Zhiyuan angrily returning to the room, thinking that he must have had an awkward relationship with the eldest lady again, and was about to retreat, when he saw Li Xiangcheng coming up with a basin of water and a towel.
Jiang Feng took a few steps downstairs and said, "Don't come up, go back." ”
Li Xiangcheng said: "Jiang Gongzi is resting? ”
"Lord is in a bad mood, don't go up, so as not to ask for hardship."
Li Xiangcheng smiled knowingly: "It's okay, you go and rest first, there is me here." ”
Jiang Feng didn't want to say anything else, so he went to the kitchen to find a place to take a nap.
Li Xiangcheng walked to Jiang Zhiyuan's room and knocked lightly on the door: "Jiang Gongzi." ”
"What?"
"I'm Orange."
Jiang Zhiyuan sighed, straightened his clothes, and went over to open the door: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Li Xiangcheng said: "You haven't washed your face yet, have you?" Orange fetched you some water. ”
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at the basin in her hand, looked at her again, and said, "Don't bother." ”
"You, you're not in a good mood at this time, it's okay to let Xiangcheng talk to you." Li Xiangcheng saw that Jiang Zhiyuan had no intention of refusing, so he walked past his hand and walked into the room.
She placed the basin on the shelf, then soaked the towel and wrung it out, all in one go.
"Jiang Gongzi." Li Xiangcheng walked over and gently took his hand and asked him to sit down, "Although Xiangcheng is a rough person, she has heard a lot about these men and women, you might as well talk to me." ”
Li Xiangcheng skillfully picked up the towel and squatted down to wipe Jiang Zhiyuan's hands.
As soon as he met him, Jiang Zhiyuan stood up like an electric shock, and said sharply: "Get out!" ”
Li Xiangcheng was stunned for a moment, the towel fell to the ground, and Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes were panicked and confused.
"I'll let you out!" Again, he emphasized, "Don't you understand? ”
Li Xiangcheng hurriedly picked up the towel on the ground, threw it into the basin, and then ran out with his face covered.
Jiang Zhiyuan sat down, sat with his legs open, supported his head with his hands, took a deep breath, and then slid his hands from his forehead to his eyes, staying for a long time.
Originally, a few people should continue to go to Suzhou on the second day, but Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly offered to buy clothes for Li Xiangcheng. Although Jiang Zhiyuan knew that Guo Xiaoxiao was angry because of what happened last night, he didn't know what to say, but he was afraid that the more he talked about it, the worse it would be. He had no choice but to allow a few people to stay in Wuxi for another day.
Li Xiangcheng knew that Guo Xiaoxiao was going to take her to buy new clothes, and she was surprised and delighted. First, she was afraid that Guo Xiaoxiao would be angry and do something to hurt her; Second, who doesn't like to get new clothes for free.
Although Li Xiangcheng was a little frightened, he still followed Guo Xiaoxiao to the street.
Guo Xiaoxiao walked in front, followed by Li Xiangcheng and Xiaolan. Along the way, Li Xiangcheng didn't dare to speak, and kept his head down. Guo Xiaoxiao is magnificent, especially against her backdrop, Guo Xiaoxiao is like a heroine Mulan, heroic.
There are not many ready-to-wear stores on the street, and the poor families basically make their own clothes, and there is no extra money to buy finished products, so the customers of the ready-to-wear stores are basically rich families like Guo Xiaoxiao.
The three of them came to an old shop called "Mingxiang". The store personally entertained Guo Xiaoxiao.
The shopkeeper said, "May I ask what this young lady wants?" ”
Guo Xiaoxiao looked around, saw that the shelves were full of cloth, and said, "Do you have a finished product here?" ”
"Yes, yes, what do you want?"
"It's what a girl my age wears."
The shopkeeper looked at Guo Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "Please." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao walked a few steps inside, and saw a large piece of finished products, all kinds of colors, and the color matching complemented each other, it can be said that every piece of clothing is carefully designed and pleasing to the eye.
Guo Xiaoxiao approached and touched the fabrics, all of which were of the highest quality.
The shopkeeper smiled: "These clothes are carefully made by the tailors of the small shop, and there are no duplicates. Which ones do you like? ”
Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and said the first sentence to Li Xiangcheng since he met: "Look, choose four or five things you like to take away." ”
Xiaolan was a little surprised, even if Guo Xiaoxiao only brought one or two pieces of ready-to-wear every time, but today he broke the bill for Li Xiangcheng.
Li Xiangcheng was overjoyed, but his face did not change, and said, "This, how can Xiangcheng be embarrassed?" ”
Guo Xiaoxiao walked aside, found a chair and sat down and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed, I will give it to you when I say it." ”
Seeing that Li Xiangcheng was still hesitating, Guo Xiaoxiao said again: "Those clothes on your body must have been worn for a long time, just give you some new ones, otherwise, in front of Jiang Gongzi, how can you be thoughtful?" ”
As soon as Guo Xiaoxiao mentioned Jiang Zhiyuan, Li Xiangcheng's heart trembled, thinking that what she said also made some sense, so she followed the store to choose clothes.
The store is very enthusiastic, introducing and recommending the new products and masterpieces of "Mingxiang" to her, Li Xiangcheng nodded frequently, but after choosing for a long time, he still didn't choose the right clothes.
Guo Xiaoxiao was a little impatient, got up from the chair, walked over and asked the store, "Which ones did she choose?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly: "This girl, she hasn't decided yet." ”
"Is there a finished product of the 'Land of Abundance'?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.
'The Land of Abundance' is a time-honored shop in Shu that specializes in selling fabrics.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”
"Bring some and I'll take a look."
The shopkeeper hurriedly went to the shelves to get the clothes, and said with a smile: "Miss is really good-eyed, the fabrics from the 'Land of Abundance' are soft and comfortable, and the color is excellent." That's all there is left. ”
Guo Xiaoxiao took a cursory look at the clothes, the workmanship was fine, and it was the cloth of the 'Land of Abundance', of course, he could trust it, so he said: "I want these few pieces, please help me pack them." ”
Li Xiangcheng glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao, didn't dare to say anything, took the good things and followed Guo Xiaoxiao out of "Mingxiang".
When Xiaolan just paid, she quietly counted the rest of the money, and this time she brought a lot of coils, but in order to buy those few clothes, she had already used most of Guo Xiaoxiao's silver taels.
After buying clothes, Guo Xiaoxiao saw that her shoes did not match the clothes, so he bought her new shoes and did not return to the inn until noon.
