Chapter 161: Tao Gongzi

Chapter 161

Tao Gongzi

Mengxi saw a Liuyun Baifu jade pendant that was exactly the same as that worn in his previous life. Let her give birth to the heart that wants to buy it back. Hurriedly ordered Zhiqiu to pay. The shopkeeper listened to the words of the second grandmother and said:

"This lady, see that you are also a person who knows the goods, the small ones don't ask for much, just charge you a hundred taels, the small ones guarantee the value you buy, you wait a minute, the small ones will be packed for you"

Zhiqiu quietly tugged at Mengxi and whispered:

"Second grandma, the slave didn't expect to buy something, so she only brought fifty taels out, why don't we ask the shopkeeper if they can store it first, and let my brother pay the silver tomorrow?"

"It's okay"

Mengxi thought for a moment and nodded. The two of them forgot that there was a God of Wealth behind them, who was drinking tea there, and looked up and said to the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, the silver we brought today is not enough, I am optimistic about this jade pendant, can you settle down first, store it with you, and then take it tomorrow when I send someone to send you silver"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was stunned. Isn't Second Master Xiao just sitting there, how can he lack this bit of silver? peeked at Second Master Xiao and saw that he was drinking tea with his head down.

Dare to love is not a gang! I've been busy for a long time! I can't take out a hundred taels, and I don't have oil and water at a glance.

Thinking of this, he got up early with contempt, and saw that this jade pendant couldn't earn a few taels of silver, and his voice immediately raised an octave, and he said angrily:

"What! Guest officer, you said earlier if you don't have any silver, the small one has been waiting for you to pick and choose for most of the day, you have no money to buy it for a long time, you have no money to buy this jade pendant, you may be picked by others the next moment, the guests are like you, we don't have to do business tomorrow."

The shopkeeper shouted, and the people in the noisy store stopped and looked. When the second master, who was drinking tea, heard this, his face immediately sank, put down the teacup, and was about to get up, but he heard Zhiqiu say:

"Shopkeeper, what are you talking about, we don't really have no silver, we just happen to not bring it today, don't look at people low, you're in a hurry, your aunt and grandmother in this small shop can also buy it!"

Zhiqiu saw that the shopkeeper heard that there was no money, so he changed his face. Seeing that the customers in the store looked at it, their faces couldn't hang up for a long time, and they forgot the occasion, so they opened their mouths and pushed back.

The second master listened to Zhiqiu's words, stabilized again, picked up the teacup, and looked lively there.

The shopkeeper didn't expect to encounter such a little pepper, his face was flushed by the coconut, he squeaked for a long time, and said without saltiness:

"The guest officer is a god of wealth, and the small shop can't afford to accept it, so it's better to invite someone else, the small shop is cold, don't pollute your eyes"

The shopkeeper's sentence is "to pick people".

Seeing that the second grandmother really liked this jade pendant, Zhichun secretly blamed Zhiqiu's quick mouth, quietly pulled the second grandmother's sleeve, and whispered:

"The second grandmother likes it, but it's not worth a few silvers, so the slave goes to the second master to pay"

Zhichun said, and was about to turn around, but was grabbed by Zhiqiu. Glared at her.

Mengxi saw that everyone in the store looked over, his face was hot, and he was angry that the shopkeeper's dog looked down on people, but in the end, he didn't have any silver on his body, and he was at a loss, and he would only have no face when he saw it.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, he said secretly, it's okay, even if you buy it back, you won't be able to go back to your previous life, and putting it around you will only increase sadness, thinking of this, I put the jade pendant on the counter with a "snap", and said:

"Let's go!"

After speaking, he helped Zhiqiu and walked out. Knowing that Qiu was angry, he turned his head and said to the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, you'd better count the goods overnight, and tomorrow my aunt and grandmother will send someone to collect your store."

After Zhiqiu finished speaking, he didn't look at the shopkeeper's purple eggplant-like face, and walked out without looking back.

The second master, who was drinking tea on the side, was stunned, and left now?

Seeing that the shopkeeper was rude to Mengxi, he wanted to come forward to teach him a lesson, but when he saw Zhiqiu's little pepper, he remembered that she obstructed him from getting close to Mengxi everywhere, and he was angry, and he also wanted her to eat turtles, thinking that she was angry and would come over to beg him.

was waiting, and saw that the three of them seemed to have forgotten him. walked out, her face suddenly darkened, she didn't know if he could hold up a piece of heaven for her?

Why didn't she remember that he was behind her at the critical moment, she was angry, and she was worried that the three of them would have an accident when they walked away in a fit of anger, so she glanced at Xiao Xia, and got up and chased after her.

Mengxi and the three of them walked out in a fit of anger, and Zhichun complained about Zhiqiu while walking:

"It's all you, don't let me go to the second master, in the public, it's so shameless, the second grandmother rarely has something she likes, it's a pity to miss it, and it's not really short of silver."

"If the second master could give out the silver, he would have come out a long time ago, and he could still watch us being bullied and still drinking tea there leisurely! Pointing at him, the cucumber dishes are cold! ”

"That can't say that we will collect it tomorrow, what will we take, it will come, even if there is silver, people have opened the store for such a long time, and they have some background, and they will not sell any silver. What can you do? ”

"The prince's guard Sun Cheng once said to his brother, if we have something to do in Pingyang, just say it, second grandmother, the slave maid just can't get used to the second master's appearance of ignoring you, and seeing that you are angry and don't move forward, the slave and maid will let the brother beg the prince and accept this jade shop, so I don't believe that without the rotten eggs of the second master, I can't make this mung bean cake!"

"Prince! Second grandmother, when did you meet the prince? ”

Mengxi didn't want people to know about the prince's marriage. so as not to cause trouble, so I haven't told Zhichun about it. Seeing her ask, Zhiqiu ran out of ideas for a while and looked at the second grandmother.

Mengxi glanced at Zhiqiu, secretly blamed her for being too calm, for a breath, she was going to beg the prince to come back from a shop, not to mention whether it was worth it to ask the prince for this trivial matter, just to say that there was no one around who knew jade, who would run it?

also knew that she was angry that she had been wronged, and even more angry that the second master refused to come forward, so she didn't blame deeply, but said lightly:

"The prince's guards often go to Yichun Hall to buy medicine, and they will be familiar after a long time, don't be so reckless after knowing the autumn, we have to learn to be calm in trouble, even if we are angry with that store, we don't have the energy to operate, let's talk about this later, by the way, what about the second master, why didn't you come out"

After listening to the words of the second grandmother, Zhiqiu also felt that he was too impulsive, and nodded his head busily, listening to the second grandmother mention the second master, and when he looked back, he found that the second master did not come out, the three of you, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to go back and call. In the end, it was Mengxi who said:

"Forget it, being so troubled by the shopkeeper, no good mood is gone, let's wait here, the second master will come out sooner or later, it's almost noon, wait for the second master to come out." Let's go back early. ”

Xiao Jun hurriedly chased him out, and saw the three people waiting outside, so angry, then he remembered to wait for him, what did he do just now? If you are bullied, you won't call him!

Seeing them standing on the side of the street, he knew that he would not go far, so he had the confidence to walk straight to the painting next to him with a cold face, without looking at them.

Mengxi saw that the second master ignored them, and walked towards Huaxuan, so he knew that the second master was angry, and looked at the two little girls, and stood there stupidly looking at the second master.

Blank look at them, what are you stupid? Let's go, let's go.

The three of them followed the second master into the painting hall, the second master heard the footsteps behind him, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, and he took square steps, looking at the calligraphy and painting with confidence.

In ancient times, the painting hall was an elegant place, most of the people who came were literati and ink writers, although there were many guests in the room, but it was very quiet, occasionally there were guests who commented on a certain painting, and they all talked in a low voice, for fear of disturbing other people's Yaxing.

Mengxi has no special hobby for painting, but she likes this quiet cultural atmosphere, which reminds her of the 21st commemorative coffee culture, seeing the second master admiring the calligraphy and painting on the wall with an intoxicated face, completely lost the coldness of the past, I didn't think that this iceberg has a soft spot for calligraphy and painting, and followed him behind him.

The sound of a piano came, breaking the tranquility of the painting hall, but it was the song "Laughing and Boiling the Rivers and Lakes" that Mengxi was all too familiar with.

"The prince is upstairs!"

Mengxi glanced at Zhiqiu inquiringly, Zhiqiu also looked at her in confusion, savoring it carefully, this technique was by no means the prince's, seeing that Zhiqiu shook his head gently at her, he was even more convinced of her judgment.

Like a pebble, thrown into the heart lake, rippling layers of ripples, this song, except for her and the prince, no one knows, did you meet a colleague who crossed over, it is said that people who travel are very fond of this song "laughing at the rivers and lakes".

A kind of emotion of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land arose, kind and anxious, teasing her heart, turning around and following the sound of the piano to the second floor in a hurry.

"Second grandma, what are you going to do?"

Zhiqiu saw it and screamed anxiously.

Hearing Zhiqiu's shout, Xiao Jun turned his head, followed her gaze, and saw that Mengxi was rushing towards the second floor, and his heart was secretly shocked, he had never seen her steps so messy, so he turned around and followed.

Mengxi followed the sound of the piano to the door of a private room on the second floor, and the scholar by the door just said:

"Guest Officer Stays"

The door has been pushed open by Mengxi, and when I look around, I see an elegant son, wearing a moon-white satin embroidered gown, his long hair is simply tied into a ponytail, without a crown, white clothes and black hair, even more elegant, sitting cross-legged in front of the guqin, and his hands are powerfully stroking the strings.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Mengxi was at a loss for a while, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, the boy looked up, met Mengxi's eyes, his eyes lit up, and asked softly:

"This girl, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jun, who arrived later, stretched out his hand and took Mengxi away and walked in.

When the boy saw Xiao Jun walk in, he hurriedly got up and saluted:

"Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you say anything when you come, my little brother is rude, this is..."

Xiao Jun let go of the hand that was holding Mengxi lightly, took a step forward, and shook his hands:

"Who should I have such Yaxing, it turned out to be Brother Tao Xian"

After the greetings, seeing that Tao Gongzi's eyes flashed with strange brilliance when he looked at Mengxi, Xiao Jun subconsciously hugged Mengxi into his arms again and introduced the two of them:

"Xi'er, this person is the famous poet immortal Tao Jundong Tao Gongzi in Pingyang City, virtuous brother, this is your sister-in-law"

Mengxi listened, got out of the arms of the second master, and slowly stepped forward to give a gentle blessing:

"Mengxi has seen Tao Gongzi, take the liberty to disturb, and ask Tao Gongzi to forgive me, I just heard Gongzi's song, so proud, it seems that the waves are afraid of the shore, the big waves are exhausted, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains let me go, I was amazed for a while, dare to ask if this song is made by Gongzi?".
