Chapter 62: Very Different
Chapter 62 is very different
I didn't see that there was a problem with the distraction of this hairpin and Jade Guanyin, and I spoke slowly, and there was a solemnity beyond my age in my crisp voice, "As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway."
The experienced head of the big cabinet is experienced, and I don't know if I can see where this hairpin and the distraction of Jade Guanyin are made. ”
The big shopkeeper muttered: "It can almost be done in a fake way, I guess, it is a ...... made by the silver building in the backstreet."
The so-called backstreet is Baozhi Hutong not far from Baolin Hutong. It is also the same as Baolin Hutong, the whole street is selling gold and silver jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings, the difference is that it sells high-quality imitation ......
It's just a matter of ten taels of silver, how did you pull out a high imitation...... Shen Muqing looked at the butterfly hairpin in the big shopkeeper's hand and frowned almost invisibly.
"Miss Shen has something to do," the big shopkeeper said in a low voice, "Our Wanbao Zhai tree is very popular, and the gang in the back street is staring at our things." It's okay to say like yours, but some people don't want to be decent at all. I ordered a set from us, took it to make a show for others, and typed a set as it was......" said, peeking at Shen Muqing's expression from the corner of his eye.
The words of the big shopkeeper entered Shen Muqing's ears word by word, setting off turbulent waves in her heart, and countless fragments flew in her mind.
"Speaking of which, the Liang family has changed more jewelry in the past few years, and bought less new ones, which is far less than when the old marquis was there......" The big shopkeeper looked at the palm-sized face in front of him with a little childishness, and pointed out, "If it weren't for the Liang family's wife who sent Mother Lei next to her this time, Wanbao Zhai might not have taken this job...... A total of twelve taels of silver, and I didn't even ask for ...... wages."
Wan Bao Zhai once gave the Shen family a set of bare-headed noodles, and the salary alone cost twenty taels......
Shen Muqing said quietly: "The Yuanhou family is a hundred-year-old family, I don't know how many good things there are. If you don't take it out and change it, will it sink in the box and make it moldy! ”
The big shopkeeper hurriedly laughed and said, "That's too." Now. That finger covers the south pearl of the earth. Soybeans earth diamond. And only people like them still have it! ”
The place of knowledge has already been known, and he came out with the flag of the place where he came to buy jewelry. More or less I have to buy something.
At the suggestion of the big shopkeeper. The people of Wanbao Zhai brought some new style jewelry in for Shen Muqing to choose, and there was a pair of ruby ground lantern earrings.
It is made of yellow and red gold to form a round ground lantern. Inside is a red and bright rice grain size gem. Like a candle flame burning on the ground. The bottom of the lantern fell to the ground with long tassels. The colors are festive indeed.
Shen Muqing picked a gold-inlaid coral bat hairpin. A gold-encrusted jeweled crab hairpin. All with the meaning of longevity and health. Ready to give it to Lee.
The big shopkeeper smiled: "The girl will pick a suitable one for herself!" These things Mrs. looked at though liked. I'm afraid it's even more distressing! ”
Yes, every time Li brought her to Wanbao Zhai, he took care of her first, and then bought what he wanted.
Thinking of this, the mood was a little bottomed, and looking at the lantern earrings, it was suddenly a lot more pleasing to the eye, and she simply took the pair of earrings.
When the shopkeeper saw that she had chosen something, he personally took a small box with red lacquer and gold painting for her to box, and someone knocked softly on the door outside. The big shopkeeper frowned and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
A small servant came in, first saluted Shen Muqing, and then whispered in the ear of the big shopkeeper.
“…… The seventh son of the Xiao family...... Steward Pang...... Come here in person......" The words intermittently floated into Shen Muqing's erected ears.
It seems that Tu Xiaoque broke someone's porcelain screen, and Pang Debaolai cleaned up the aftermath. I just don't know who this "personally came" refers to. Xiao Sa? Or did they bring in someone to clean up the aftermath?
The thought flashed, and the big shopkeeper had already apologized to Shen Muqing with a smile: "The guys in the store are not angry, so they have to make trouble for me to come forward." Miss Shen, a certain family is guilty, just come and take a look! ”
Shen Muqing understood in his heart, nodded with a smile, and the big shopkeeper said a lot of apologies, leaving the second shopkeeper to accompany Shen Muqing, and then left.
"I don't know what's going on next door?" Shen Muqing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and smiled very casually, "I still have to work for your big shopkeeper." ”
"Today is not the same as it used to be." The second shopkeeper laughed on the side, "In the past, we did more of Wanbao Zhai's business as a patron, but since Shunkang opened the sea ban for three years, the barbarians in the south have gone to Kyoto, and the land price of the white paper mill has increased three times." Our business is getting more and more bottomless. ”
Shen Muqing was secretly funny.
The sea ban has been open for more than ten years, and a large number of huge riches have emerged in Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang by relying on shipping and dock business. When these people had money, they all bought property in the white paper mill in the outer city of Kyoto. Because of the temperature difference between the north and the south, in the summer, these Nanshang will bring their families to Kyoto to live for a while, and Manbao Zhai, as a leader in Kyoto's jewelry industry, naturally wants to come and see, buy something and go back to the south to show off. And these merchant women are different from the official eunuchs, because their husbands are engaged in overseas trade, they mostly have some vision, and they are not afraid of losing face and dare to bargain with the shopkeepers of Wanbao Zhai, but they are holding huge amounts of gold, which makes the heads of the shopkeepers of Wanbao Zhai as big as a fight...... This is also one of the important reasons for the rise of backstreets. It is precisely for this reason that in recent years, the families of Kyoto's official eunuchs have begun to avoid summer and come to Manbao Zhai.
The two sighed a few words about the impermanence of the world, and Shen Muqing served tea.
The second shopkeeper took the opportunity to stand up and say goodbye.
Sent away the second shopkeeper, Shen Muqing took the trembling butterfly hairpin sent by the big shopkeeper and played with it in his hand, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Ying saw it and served cautiously on the side. Wait until a small pot of tea is poured, Shen Mu
With the intention of leaving, she couldn't help but whisper to Shen Muqing: "Girl, I'll go to the backstreet to have a look......"
Shen Muqing suddenly said "oh" as if he was in another world, stood up and sat down again: "No need." Just know the origin of this hairpin. ”
Ying Fan saw that she looked in a trance, and thought about the strangeness of this jewelry, so she didn't dare to say more, and stood aside lightly.
After a long time, Mu Qing suddenly beckoned the little maid on the side: "Go and see if your chief manager is busy." If you're not busy, come to me and say I have something to ask. If you're busy, say I'm not in a hurry here, and he'll come back when he's done. ”
The little maid hurriedly curtsied.
Ying Fan said, "Girl, what else do you want to ask?" The big shopkeeper has made it very clear. If we ask again and again, will it make the big shopkeeper happy? ”
Shen Muqing just "snorted" and didn't answer Ying Fan's words.
After a while, the little mustache led the big shopkeeper over.
"Miss Shen, please forgive me!" The big shopkeeper said, "I know if there is something else to ask a certain family!" ”
"Oops!" Shen Muqing stood up, "I still remember this memory just now, but the big shopkeeper can't remember it when he asks like this!" ”
The people in the room were stunned.
Shen Muqing had already called Ying Fan: "Go and tell you to prepare a sedan chair." It's time for me to go back, too. There's a lot of work to do at home! ”
Ying Fanmu Qing's sudden move made him stunned, and he paused before leaving.
The big shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is also a common thing." If Miss Shen remembers, she will send someone to ask me and tell me at the door. ”
Shen Muqing nodded carelessly.
The big shopkeeper looked at her absent-mindedness, said a few words with her, and personally sent Shen Mu out of Wanbao Zhai.
Shen Muqing was not in a hurry to leave, pulled down the cloak on his head, and stood on the seven-step steps of Wanbao Zhai and looked around.
The thick branches and leaves of the trees on both sides fell away, revealing bare brown branches, and the carriage galloped unhurriedly over the blue stone bricks with a monotonous "Dede" sound.
A biting cold wind blew, and Shen Muqing couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Ying Fan stood silently in front of the carriage but secretly puzzled: Who is the girl waiting for?
Just as she was guessing, she saw Shen Muqing suddenly run down the steps.
"Xiao Sa!" Shen Muqing looked at the tall figure in surprise.
The figure next to the carriage in front of the fang Zhai slowly turned towards her.
The once bright eyes became as dark as an ancient well, and the once handsome face was faintly as hard and cold as marble.
"Xiao Sa?" Shen Muqing's joy turned into confusion: "What's wrong with you?" ”
It's just that he hasn't seen him for a month, and Xiao Sa seems to have changed as a person.
She was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
"What's going on?" The corners of Xiao Sa's eyes were lightly raised, and Shen Muqing's very familiar sarcasm appeared in his eyes, "You asked me what happened?" ”
It's just that the sarcastic eyes no longer have the intimacy of the Shen family's garden, but with indifference, alienation and arrogance that cannot be misunderstood.
Shen Muqing secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.
"When the eldest girl of Shen Ge's hometown was the first assistant of the court, she actually cared about me, what happened to Xiao Sa?" His voice was dull and calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business, "What can happen to me Xiao Sa?" It's just that I was ridiculed like a fool by the wealthy and powerful, but that's why people can afford me, and it's too late for me to be grateful to Dade, what can I do? ”
That dead tone pierced Shen Muqing's heart.
"Xiao Sa, it's not what you think." She hurriedly explained, "When I was in Yaowang Temple, I was afraid that someone would know my identity and be unfavorable to me, so I didn't say anything to you. Later, when I met you in the garden, I told you that my name was Shen Muqing, but you didn't care about it at the time......"
Xiao Sa laughed: "So, it's all my fault? ”
His smile was gentle and kind, but Shen Muqing could feel the anger, pain, despair, and resentment hidden behind his smile......
Xiao Sa, who is just a young eagle who has just left his parents' wings and tried to fly, has a proud and conceited personality.
She thought of his smile like the sun breaking through the haze in the Taihu Lake stone path, and the complete trust that revealed his true temperament unreservedly in front of her.
Is it because of this that when you know your identity from the mouths of others, you are even more intolerant and acceptable?
"No, no, no......" Shen Muqing hurriedly reassured him, "You listen to me......"
The lilac-colored soft satin curtain hanging on the carriage was lifted open with a "swish", and a disgusting face came out: "Childe, it's so cold, let's go back quickly!" ”
The treasure knot held by the red gold silk phoenix flickered with a dazzling light across Shen Muqing's eyes, causing her pupils to shrink and her words to condense in her throat.
Xiao Sa's face was expressionless, and he turned around and walked towards Tu Xiaoque.
"Xiao Sa!" Shen Muqing's voice suddenly became high-pitched and sharp that she hadn't even imagined, "I really didn't mean to mislead you!" ”
Xiao Sa didn't look back.
Looking at Xiao Sa's tall back as she walked away, Shen Muqing felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, and the biting chill spread from the finger to her heart little by little, making her whole body stiff and unable to move.
She regretted it.
The last thing I wanted to happen happened in the end!
