Chapter 224: Shopping
The prosperity of White Emperor City is not comparable to Songhai City, Shaoyang is confident in the development of Songhai City, but to achieve this scale is not possible overnight, the time required may take years, or even ten years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The main reason is that the growth of the population is not so simple, the current three and a half million people in Songhai City, some of them are still attracted by trade, and they want to develop to the level of one million, unless Shaoyang can plunder a large number of others, otherwise only rely on natural growth, I don't know if it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
And the resident population with household registration or real estate in Baidi City is more than one million, not to mention the number of floating populations that are no less than this.
It's better when you're in the inner city, most of the areas are the territory of the powerful and wealthy, and you can't see too many people on the streets, that is, there are more people in the places where the commercial shops are located, and once you get out of the inner city, it's a world of difference.
When I entered the city yesterday, I deliberately chose those spacious and secluded roads to walk, and others were in the carriage, but I didn't think there were many people, and this would be a lively and prosperous place, and Shaoyang knew what it was to be crowded.
In the next few days, Shaoyang and the others walked around, and after shopping in the inner city, they went to the outer city.
Ma Yunlu pulled Ying Jiu'er and drilled into the shop that looked at him, Shaoyang and Zhao Yun could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and then went in, Zhang Fei suffered a loss yesterday, this will not talk to Guo Jia at all, and he will not follow up on anything, the two of them only wander around other shops nearby, anyway, the spiritual sense has been open, and they are not afraid that Shaoyang will not have time to rescue them when they encounter danger.
Among the six winners of the brothers, the second and eighth also came, and they estimated that they had not accompanied Jiu'er to go shopping in the past, so they wisely chose to follow Zhang Fei all the way.
Those guards, like Shaoyang's personal guards, hung far behind, otherwise so many people squeezed into the shop together, and there was really no other place to accommodate them except the restaurant.
On this day, they ran to a jewelry shop in the outer city.
"Yun, do you think this hairpin looks good?"
After all, she is married, Ma Yunlu picked up a hairpin and gestured on her head, asking Zhao Yun to give her some advice, Zhao Yun naturally would not be stupid enough to say that it was not good-looking, no matter what Ma Yunlu liked about that thing, he only had to praise it, and then package them all.
They showed their affection and envied Ying Jiu'er on the side, but she was still young, and she was naturally embarrassed to treat Shaoyang like this in public, twisting and pinching, or Shaoyang took the initiative to see her thoughts.
The little girl couldn't hold it down with a hairpin or something, Shaoyang picked out those jewelry for a long time, just those styles, and the dazzling jewelry in the previous life could not be compared, and a pair of earrings that were slightly pleasing to the eye were picked out from it.
Seeing Shaoyang pick up the earrings, Ying Jiu'er didn't understand what he was going to do next, compared with the last time in Songhai City, she was always two years older, and now she is sixteen years old, she is no longer a little girl, she understands a lot about men and women, she is both happy and a little ashamed, her cheeks are suddenly red, and she lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes.
Shaoyang also wanted to try it on her, but when she got closer, she found that she was so red that her ears were red, and if she really wore it, she would not be ashamed to death.
"Jiu'er, look at this pair of earrings, do you like it?" Shaoyang's half-outstretched hand deviated from the direction and sent the earrings to Jiu'er.
"Hmm" was so small that she couldn't even hear herself.
"Brother Nayang bought it for you. Shaoyang didn't wait for her to nod, so he asked the store to wrap the earrings, and then walked to Jiu'er's side and whispered: "The jewelry here is not very good-looking, Brother Huiyang personally painted a few styles to create some jewelry for Jiu'er." ”
Ying Jiu'er's eyes lit up immediately, in her opinion, what Shaoyang took out must be good things, how can any woman not like beautiful jewelry, and her heart for those jewelry in this store immediately faded a lot, and she just wanted to see the jewelry that Shaoyang gave her as soon as possible.
"Really? You can't lie to me. Unconsciously holding Shaoyang's hand, leaving Fang Cai's shyness behind him in an instant, Shaoyang of course guaranteed that it was true, and promised to do it immediately after he went back, and strive to deliver the finished product to Jiu'er as soon as possible.
Suddenly interrupted by a soft cry of pain, Ma Yunlu's hand was withdrawn from Zhao Yun's waist, and he kept glancing at Zhao Yun.
Shaoyang was inexplicable for a while, and then laughed.
With Zhao Yun's personality, don't say that Ma Yunlu pinched it, even if he was cut a few times, he wouldn't scream, the painful cry just now, one was the newlywed couple flirting and scolding, and the other deliberately attracted Shaoyang's attention.
Shaoyang said that he wanted to design jewelry for Ying Jiu'er, although he lowered his voice, but he didn't deliberately hide it, Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu naturally heard it clearly, Ma Yunlu was moved, and it was not good for him to open his mouth, so he encouraged Zhao Yun to help him get it.
Zhao Yun was also embarrassed to speak, so he wanted to attract Shaoyang's attention, Shaoyang didn't say that he was extremely smart, but he was by no means a stupid person, where could he not understand the reason, and it was a sure thing to prepare an extra copy for Ma Yunlu.
Shaoyang's attitude towards the generals of the Three Kingdoms is not mentioned in official affairs, and he is treated like friends in private, especially Zhao Yun, who have a close relationship, and will hardly refuse their requests, even if it is Zhao Yun's silent request this time.
Just promised Jiu'er, Shaoyang would not be able to directly say that he would give other women a share, even if the other party was Zhao Yun's wife, so he had to give Zhao Yun a look, implying that he was indispensable to his share.
Zhao Yun bowed slightly to Shaoyang gratefully, and hurriedly said good things in his wife's ear, promising to ask Shaoyang for new jewelry later, and repeatedly promised that no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely get it anyway, anyway, Shaoyang had already hinted that he was not worried about Shaoyang's refusal.
After Shaoyang's interruption, the two women were not much interested in the jewelry in this store, so they picked out the jewelry they really liked and bought them together with the ones they had chosen before, but when they checked out, the shopkeeper refused to accept Shaoyang's money.
"The proprietor has instructed that all the distinguished guests who have taken a fancy to them will be given away for free. The shopkeeper said with a smile, and wanted to sell it to Shaoyang and them again, and wanted to send a few more pieces out.
Because he was sure that he didn't know the owner of this store, Shaoyang was very puzzled by the shopkeeper's words, and when he saw Ying Jiu'er shaking his head, he was even more puzzled.
As soon as he returned to White Emperor City, in addition to the winners, the only people who knew him were those enemies, and where did they run out of an owner who wanted to give them jewelry.
"There is no merit, we understand the kindness of your owner, and we will be as much as we want. "These jewels add up to only a few gold coins, where would Shaoyang care, let alone accept the benefits of a stranger who has never met.
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, but he couldn't resist Shaoyang, as long as he erased the fraction of the silver coin, and only received a whole number of six gold coins, Shaoyang was too lazy to entangle for that silver coin, paid the bill, and rewarded the shopkeeper and the waiting child with a gold coin each.
When they were about to leave, the shopkeeper stopped them, "Distinguished guest, our host is coming, I hope you will stay for a while." ”
