Chapter 228: Yi Shooting Pavilion
Guiyi Fang
Half afternoon. The small hall was warmed by the brazier, and it was very comfortable to nest on a few layers of velvet blankets, and Yu Yu, who had eaten a plate of dim sum, was satisfied with lying on Lu's lap.
Lu Shi hung her head, holding a copper ear gouging key in her hand and carefully moving it in her little ears, in exchange for her snorting comfortably from time to time, Lu Zhi, who was sitting on the other side of the blanket, was reading a book while talking to Lu Shi about the art competition of the five courtyards.
When Lu left Beijing more than ten years ago, Guozijian did not have a five-academy art competition, Lu Zhi participated in those few times and did not deliberately go home to tell her, this time she heard of it for the first time, it was very rare, especially the two children were going to participate, I was not very curious, but also interested.
"According to you, that scene is big?"
"In addition to the students of the Fifth Academy, I also invited some adults, and the excitement is certain, so let's go and see it when the time comes." Lu Zhi said what he had discussed with Yi Yu on the road.
"Is it appropriate for my mother to go?" Lu Shi asked out loud after removing the ear gouging key from Yi Yu's ear. Her heart is a little moved, after all, when parents don't want to see their children outstanding.
"What's out of place. The parents of the students who participated in the competition can go to watch the competition, so you can go there!" Yi Yu clasped her ears with her little finger, turned over and lay flat on Lu's lap, and looked at her face.
β... Forget it. Listening to her words, the Lu family retreated, Guozijian's students are either rich or noble, and their parents are executives and magnates, and she is an ordinary woman at the moment, and she is a widow, so isn't it the face of the children to go to the comparison.
Lu Zhi saw Lu's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "If my mother feels that she is lonely alone, can I find a companion with you?" Mr. and Mrs. Cheng will also be present when they are introduced, our brother and sister are good friends with Xiaofeng, and you will be with Mrs. Cheng when you arrive, and no one will say anything. β
"Mother, if you don't come, I think of you in my heart, maybe I will take the bottom." Yi Yu stretched out his hand and hooked Lu's waist and shook it gently.
Seeing that the two children were looking forward to her, Lu Shi couldn't say anything if he refused, so he could only nod his head, in exchange for a burst of cheers from the jade.
Lu Shi stretched out his hand and nodded her forehead, "If you don't go, you won't be able to take the worst." β
Yi Yu smiled, got up from her lap, and winked at Lu Zhi secretly.
"Zhi'er, you are very good friends with Miss Cheng?" Lu Shi remembered Lu Zhi's words just now. Caught one of them.
Lu Zhi's eyelids jumped, and he responded vaguely, then took the book and patted the little foot that was about to kick on him, and said to Lu Shi, "Mother, I'll take Xiaoyu out to buy some things." β
"What to buy?" Yu Yu asked inexplicably.
Lu Zhi had already gotten up and sorted out his clothes, "You still lack a lot of things to be used in Yibi." β
Hearing this, Lu Shi shouted Xiao Man next door, and then reached out to push the jade, "Hurry up and pack up and go with your eldest brother," and looked at Lu Zhi again, "Is the silver enough, my mother will take some for you." β
"Enough."
Two quarters of an hour later, Yi Yu combed his hair again, changed his clothes, and then followed Lu Zhi in a carriage, first went to the West Market to get things with Lu Zhi, and then drove to the Eastern Capital.
East Metropolis Jinlong Fang
Yi Yu took Lu Zhi's hand and jumped out of the carriage at the gate of Fang City, followed him for about a quarter of an hour, and came to a street that was not very lively.
Most of the shops on this street sell unusual things, and Yu Yu looked left and right. When he saw a strange store name, he would ask Lu Zhi out loud.
The brother and sister stopped in front of a small two-story building near the end of the street, and Yu Yu looked up at the plaque hanging at the foot of the second floor, Yi Shege Pavilion.
Look at the name of the store, you know, this is a place to sell bows and arrows and other things, into the store, you will see a very spacious aisle on the walls on both sides, hanging all kinds of swords, daggers and bows, but Yu Yu knows that these walls are hanging decorative weapons, after all, the law clearly stipulates that standard weapons cannot be circulated among the people.
There are two guys in the house who are following the guests to introduce things, and one is wiping the goods with a rag.
Lu Zhi walked directly to the counter, took out a note from his sleeve and put it on the countertop, "Shopkeeper, I'll pick up something." β
The shopkeeper who was keeping accounts raised his head, habitually smiled and greeted, then took the note and opened it, then got up and said to Lu Zhi:
"Guest officer later."
Then he turned his head and looked around the store before calling out to the guy who was wiping things, "Slipper, go to the library and get the red box on the third row of shelves and bring it, don't take the wrong one, it's the red one." β
"Oh!" The fellow replied humbly, walked to the back of the shop, lifted the curtain and went inside to get something.
Yi Yu looked at the giant horned bow hanging on the wall behind the counter, and asked Lu Zhi, "What did you buy for me, is it a bow, I have already agreed with Brother Ah Sheng, and he will lend me the one he usually uses when the time comes." β
"It's not a bow. It'sβ"
Lu Zhi was about to answer, but he saw the two figures walking in from outside the door, so he stopped, and Yu Yu took his eyes off the giant bow, and when he saw Lu Zhi nodding his head, he also turned around.
"Brother Lu Zhi, Miss Lu!"
"Miss Eldest Sun." Yi Yu looked at the two sisters Changsun Xian and Changsun Xi who had just walked into the store, if it weren't for the fact that Miss Changsun was a person, she really wanted to praise - a pair of beautiful and lovely sisters.
Changsun Xian pulled Changsun Xi's hand a little harder, so that her pace had to slow down, before she said to Lu Zhi and Yu Yu: "Gongzi Lu and Miss Lu are also here to buy a new bow?" β
"Yes." Lu Zhidao.
"My eldest sister and I are here to choose the fingers, what about you?" Changsun Xi seemed to be more interested in Yu Yu, and asked her with a grin.
Yu Yu's eyes shook at the cute smiling face, "Uh, come and have a look." She didn't know what Lu Zhi was going to buy for her.
The shopkeeper took advantage of the gap between their conversations and came in, obviously he recognized the two sisters in the eldest grandson's mansion, and greeted them very warmly in person.
The guy who had just gone in to get Lu Zhi's order came out of the room with a red box more than half a foot long and put it on the counter.
The shopkeeper just glanced at it, then pushed it to Lu Zhi, and led the two sisters of the eldest grandson's family to look under the shelf on the other side.
Yi Yu took the delicate mahogany box with black flow patterns from Lu Zhi's hand, removed the buckle of the inlaid jade, and opened it to see that his eyes lit up, and there were three finger cuffs of different sizes inside, light brown with small white dots. It is both delicate and cute, and it is a fine deerskin sewing at a glance, and she was just about to reach out to touch it, when she heard Lu Zhiqing's "huh", and took the box away from her hand.
"Big brother?" Yu Yu called out suspiciously.
Lu Zhi made a calm gesture to her, and then walked to the shopkeeper who was lobbying Changsun Xi with the box, "This doesn't seem to be something I ordered." β
The shopkeeper and the eldest grandson and the two sisters turned their heads together, looking at Lu Zhi and the box in his hand, the eldest grandson Xi grabbed the shopkeeper's words, whispered in surprise, and pointed to the box and said to the eldest grandson:
"Big sister, big sister. You see. β
The two sisters are very discerning, and at a glance they know that the finger sleeves in the box are the best materials and craftsmanship, and when Changsun Xian was about to reach out for the three finger sleeves, she was blocked by the shopkeeper who hurriedly reached out to block them.
"Alas, alas, wrong, wrong, wrong! You come here, I'll let you take the boxes on the shelves in the third row, why did you bring the boxes in the third row of shelves, go and change them! β
As soon as Changsun Xi saw that the shopkeeper had snatched the box from Lu Zhi's hand and was about to hand it over to the workman to put away, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Changsun Xian's sleeve tightly, and Changsun Xian patted her little hand knowingly.
"Shopkeeper, show me something."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled the box from the other party's hand, where did the shopkeeper dare to compete with her, he could only watch her take the box and open it and hand it to Changsun Xi.
Like a child who has received candy, Changsun Xi happily took out three finger sleeves and put them on his slender fingers one by one, which turned out to be an incomparably good fit!
Seeing that Lu Zhi was colded by them, Yi Yu also walked over, watched Changsun Xi move his right finger wearing a new finger sleeve, and asked Lu Zhi softly:
"Got the wrong thing?"
"Hmm," Lu Zhi looked at the shopkeeper with a bitter face, and pulled Yu Yu back two steps, thinking that when he had settled the two sisters, he would go and ask for the things he ordered.
"Shopkeeper, we want this thing." Changsun Xian was also a little surprised by the fit of this set of finger sleeves with Changsun Xi's fingers, and saw that Chang Sun Xi couldn't put it down, so he said to the shopkeeper.
"This, this can't be helped, this object already has its owner, the small shop will send it to someone later, Miss, don't be embarrassed."
On this cold day, the shopkeeper was stunned by the sisters and sweated.
Eldest Sun Xian disagreed, "I can't do it without your silver, you can make a price, and then tell the man that it is our sister who wants it." β
first used silver to smash the shopkeeper, and then used the identity of the eldest grandson's mansion to oppress people. Changsun Xian's two sentences, no one will not give face when they are said in any store in Chang'an City.
But today I just hit the door panel, although the shopkeeper was afraid of her identity, his smile was a little stiff, but his mouth was very insistent, "You, you better take a look at something else, there are many good things in this store, the one I just showed with the third ladyββ"
Changsun Xian is not stupid, just look at his appearance and know that the owner of this set of things must be something that her identity can't suppress, so she immediately stopped thinking about buying it, but her tone refused to relax, interrupted his words, and said coldly:
"I see that this Yi Shooting Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger, and now I can even ignore my face."
Don't give face to the eldest lady of the Zhang Sun family, that is, not to give face to the eldest grandson's house, this has been said, but Changsun Xian's current intention is not to really want this finger set, but to inquire about the owner of this thing, sure enough, these two sentences came out, and the shopkeeper hurriedly whispered:
"Don't be angry, how dare the little shop, I won't hide it from you, if you fall in love with something else, the little one will let you be the master, but this thing is, it was ordered by the Wei Palace."
