Chapter 58: Shopping

Lu Weimang, who was separated from the housekeeper, went to Zhucui Pavilion, the largest silver building in Kyoto.

"What do you want to see, young lady? We have a new batch of jewelry in the store, the pattern is novel, the craftsmanship is exquisite, you come to see? ”

Lu Weimang was dressed in the ready-to-wear clothes of the Neon Pavilion, and others may not recognize it for a while, but the guys of Zhucui Pavilion recognized it at a glance, so Lu Weimang was hospitalized by the guys as soon as he entered the Zhucui Pavilion, not only invited him to a seat, served tea and snacks, but also brought over a variety of new jewelry for Lu Weimang to see.

In fact, the purchase of clothes, jewelry, jade pendants, purses, etc., all of the Lu family's housekeepers are worried about by Steward Lu. He is a big man who doesn't know clothes and jewelry, but he knows a truth, that is, good things are not necessarily expensive, but expensive things must be good things. What's more, in a highly competitive place like Kyoto, there are too many people who know how to do it, and if you can't do your stuff, you will definitely not be able to do it. Therefore, the Lu Guanjia family chose the Nishang Pavilion, which was frequented by high-ranking dignitaries, to customize clothes for the family.

This can be regarded as inviting professional people to do professional things.

Relying on the clothes on her body, Lu Weimang didn't need to speak, and the guy brought her all kinds of jewelry for her to choose from.

Lu Weimang raised his chin and pretended to be picky and pulled on the plate containing jewelry, looking interested.

Seeing Lu Weimang's uninteresting appearance, the guy became more and more excited, "This young lady, although this kind of gold and silver jewelry is exquisitely crafted, it is inevitable that it is pure, no wonder you look down on it." Why don't I take out the new gem head in our store and take a look? ”

Lu Weimang was secretly happy in his heart, this guy was quite good, and nodded arrogantly, "Take it to me and take a look." ”

"Wait a minute, take a sip of tea, and I'll bring it to you."

The man hurried into the inner room, and when he came out again, he not only brought out a few pairs of precious stones, but also followed by an old shopkeeper dressed in brocade.

"Under the surname Yu, he is the shopkeeper of this Zhucui Pavilion. I don't know this young lady's surname? Do you buy these noodles to wear yourself at a banquet, or do you give them away? Tell me, I'll give you a good recommendation. ”

The old man in dark brown brocade opened his mouth to inquire, Lu Weimang put down the teacup and said unhurriedly, "My surname is Lu, and this jewelry is not only worn by me, but also given away." If you have anything good, something new, just bring it. As long as the thing is really good, the price is not an issue. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few large silver tickets from the purse hanging from his belt.

When the shopkeeper saw the silver ticket, his heart tightened, and the big business came to the door, and he hurriedly asked the man to invite the person to the private room, and went to the back warehouse by himself to get the jewels at the bottom of the box.

Lu Weimang followed the guy and went up to the private room on the second floor, which is worthy of being the largest silver building in Kyoto, and the elegant room is very elegant and rich.

"Please take a seat, this side is near the window, the light is good, and you can enjoy the jewelry for a while."

The guy invited Lu Weimang to take a seat while pouring tea.

Lu Weimang walked to the elegant seat by the window, which was adjacent to the tax street, and the traffic downstairs was so busy. Lu Weimang drank tea while looking at the pedestrians outside the window.

Kyoto's bustling city can be seen from here. It is close to the West City, and the people who come and go are dignitaries. Except for the running guys, it is rare to see people in coarse cloth clothes haunting, all of them are all kinds of brocade clothes, shining in the sun with a unique silk luster.

Regardless of whether the people of the country have money or not, it will not affect the rich life of some of the gentry.

didn't wait long, the shopkeeper came in with a few guys, each with a set of head jewelry.

Lu Weimang sat and drank tea, and the shopkeeper brought it over one by one, opened the rosewood box, and let Lu Weimang look at it.

The fiery red ruby head, the gem color is pure, the luster is dazzling, and Lu Weimang is sitting by the window, the sun shines in at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so that the gem reflects the intoxicating color.

Lu Weimang nodded lightly, a smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and the next second, he froze on his face, only to see Lu Weimang's red lips lightly opened, but he said something that made the shopkeeper almost vomit blood, "It's too ordinary, I have several sets of ruby heads, each of which is darker than this color and bigger." If you're all at this level, don't give it to me anymore. ”

The shopkeeper wasn't sure if Lu Weimang said this on purpose, or if he really didn't like it, so he hurriedly took a set of slightly larger ruby heads from the remaining gems, Lu Weimang nodded, closed the lid, put it at hand, and looked up and said to the shopkeeper, "Is there anything else?" Apart from rubies, there are no other novelties. ”

Seeing that Lu Weimang finally caught his eyes, Shopkeeper Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't come here to pretend. So I was in the mood to introduce other gem heads to Lu Weimang, "In addition to the ruby, there is also this set of pearl heads, which is also very suitable for you." You don't have to look at it small, but it's delicate and age-appropriate. You see, each of these pearls is perfectly round, and delicate and condensed, smooth and crystalline, it is not easy to collect this set. ”

Lu Weimang looked at this set of pearl heads and nodded, "Yes, is there anything else?" As he spoke, he put this set of pearl heads together with the ruby heads just now.

The shopkeeper's mouth couldn't close anymore, and he took out a set of rare sapphires, "Ordinary sapphires are more old-fashioned, this set of colors is pure, the workmanship is good, you must be noble and refreshing when you wear it." There is also this set of mutton fat white jade jewelry, which is warm and delicate, and the carving is good, which is at the bottom of the box in our store. ”

"What else? What are the heads and faces that are suitable for the elders? ”

The shopkeeper's excited eyes were red, and he introduced various gems to Lu Weimang with high interest, "Look at this agate, carnelian, the color is dignified and elegant, and it is suitable for older ladies to wear." There is also this gold head, which is inlaid with turmaline, tourmaline, and lapis lazuli, which is decorated with a patchwork and graceful and luxurious, and it is also a popular type of jewelry in Kyoto this year. ”

Lu Weimang stroked the turquoise on the head of this set, and seemed to like it very much, "This turquoise has a good color, if it is strung into a bracelet or a Buddhist bead, it must be very beautiful." Shopkeeper Yu, do you have one here? ”

The shopkeeper clapped his hands, "The hero sees the same thing, Miss Lu." This gem is used to set on the crown, can not play the unique quality of this gem, I said how to make this gem better, the original is to make Buddha beads bracelet, good idea. However, this kind of gemstone is rare, and at the moment, we are afraid that there is no such gem in our store. But rest assured, you can place a custom order in our store, and within three months, we will deliver it to you. ”

Lu Weimang's face seemed to be a little disappointed, and the shopkeeper hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "Miss Lu, don't worry, if we don't have one in Zhucui Pavilion, you can search for it all over Kyoto, and you can find a string of turquoise bracelets, and I will give you all these for free." ”

Lu Weimang nodded, "I naturally trust you, come here, but also to see that you are the largest and most complete silver building in Kyoto, so let's do it, how much deposit is needed, you say the number, I will customize a string of bracelets, a string of Buddhist beads, the higher the quality, the better, the shorter the time, the better." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Hey, you buy so many noodles from our Zhucui Pavilion, I will call the shots today, you mean to give a deposit of one hundred taels, I will try to do it for you within three months, no, within two months, to ensure that you will not delay your business." ”

Lu Weimang nodded with satisfaction, "Settle the score." ”

In the end, Lu Weimang took out 2,300 taels of silver tickets, handed them over to Zhucui Pavilion, and agreed to get turquoise bracelets and Buddha bead necklaces two months later.

Out of the Zhucui Pavilion, Lu Weimang walked in front, followed by a string of guards holding jewelry, and a shopkeeper Yu who waved his arms and sent him away from afar.

The magnificent scene made the passers-by on the street of Taxation Street look sideways.

spent a lot of money, and the things planned in the past few days have come to an eyebrow again, and Lu Weimang is simply walking with the wind at this time.

"Yo, isn't this Lu Weimang of Guozijian? Oh, by the way, you're no longer a student of Guozijian at this time, you seem to be a petty eight-rank official in a green robe. Why, didn't you go to the yamen today to sit on a cold bench and go shopping? That's right, at the beginning, the stars held the moon in the country, but now that they have entered the court, they have been neglected, and they can only spend money to buy some comfort. ”

Lu Weimang heard this familiar voice, turned her head to look over, and sure enough, it was that familiar face again, but at this time, there were no other little sisters around her, only a man accompanied by her, looking at their same slender faces, it was not difficult to guess that it should be a brother and sister relationship.

However, Lu Weimang was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't care about this person's cynicism, but greeted her with a smile, "Hey, see you again." We've seen each other so many times, I still don't know what your name is? Let's get to know each other officially today, may I ask this young lady, what is his surname? ”

That Zuo Chan'er was born by Lu Weimang's words, the first Buddha was born, the second Buddha was born, breathing rapidly, her nostrils were wide, and she stretched out her finger and pointed at her nose, "You don't know me?" Hmph, you're pretending less, can you know me?. Oh~ I know, you're embarrassed to see your old acquaintance because you're wearing a green robe now, right? It's okay, this is just the beginning, you're on duty in the household department now, and no one cares, right? In the future, you will suffer, and when you are kicked out by the household, I see if you are still in a good mood today! ”

Lu Weimang looked at the young lady who seemed to be angry and began to speak incoherently, and then looked at the man beside her, "Excuse me, is this Sister Ling?" Is she sick? ”

The man sneered on the same long face as Zuo Chan'er, "What, you don't know me, right?" No matter how we say it, we are also ministers of the same ministry. You have been sitting on the cold bench in the household department for more than ten days, and you can still be so calm when you see me, you are worthy of being the only female student in the country, and you are full of stamina! ”

Lu Weimang scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I'm face blind and I don't like to remember people." But if you say me in front of me, then I'm not welcome, you'd better report yourself to the house before I do it, and see you next time, I'll still match you brothers and sisters, and when the time comes, maybe you will suffer again. ”

After Lu Weimang finished speaking, he ran over directly, kicked the man in the leg socket, kicked him down, and grabbed the woman's slap and threw her out. Solving the two people like a flint, he crossed his waist and said to the two people lying on the ground, "Although I don't know who you are, I also know that you definitely haven't done a good job." Today, I will teach you a lesson, and it is best not to appear in front of me in the future, otherwise I will see you once and fight once. ”

The maid of the two had already been stopped by Lu Weimang's guards, and seeing Lu Weimang so arrogant, he couldn't help shouting, "Go and call the officer, Lu Weimang is crazy again." ”

Zuo Chan'er shouted obliquely, but the onlookers didn't bother to take care of it. They saw the provocative appearance of the brother and sister with their own eyes, and at this time they only cared about watching the excitement, and no one went to look for the officials.

"Who's making a fuss here?"

Looking at the lively crowd, they turned around and saw Huo Jing, a famous young general in Kyoto, riding a handsome black horse, slowly stepping forward, his expression as indifferent and serious as ever.
