Chapter 137: A Chance Encounter
These are some sad past events, Zhiyun doesn't need to know, Ouyang leaned over, picked up a piece of crystal clear ointment with his little finger, pointed it on Zhiyun's lips, and fainted.
"Seems to have been on fire lately? Look, chapped lips. ”
Zhiyun rolled her eyes, she is still a human being, even if she is in excellent health because of her cultivation, and she will not get sick easily, but it has not reached the point where all diseases are inviolable, what is so strange about getting on fire, besides, the climate of the four cities is dry, and if you don't pay attention, it is easy to get angry.
After pouring a bottle of fruit-flavored potion and using a beauty potion, Zhiyun shook the green silk like water, and nodded with satisfaction at his beautiful face in the mirror.
Now it is early spring, and the noon day is not cold, Ouyang picked out a pink jacket and urged his daughter-in-law to change into it, but Zhiyun is dressed so pink, it is actually very suitable, and it will not give people the feeling of deliberately pretending to be tender, facing the bright eyes and bright teeth in the mirror, and the woman who is no different from a young girl, Zhiyun smiled and whispered: "Sure enough, Yuanyuan should still practice magic, not for anything else, just for the eternal youth." ”
"Yes, yes, for the husband's little wife, let's go." Ouyang Yi bent down and easily carried his daughter-in-law out of the carriage, and the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards who had been trained outside to keep the same color of Mount Tai couldn't help but be dumbfounded, if it weren't for the fear of taking on the sin of the imperial inappropriateness, maybe many people would have passed out.
Gao Fu wiped the sweat on his forehead, secretly glanced at the queen who was comfortable and didn't feel inappropriate at all, and said in his heart: Long live the queen too much, in the future, you have to pay more attention.
Of course, Ouyang and Zhiyun were unwilling to care about the thoughts of these people, it was rare that there were no small oil bottles around them, Ouyang commanded the carriage and went straight to the downtown area.
The capital has been much more prosperous in recent years.
In front of the three-storey restaurant with a Mangxing amethyst logo, Zhiyun held Ouyang's hand, stepped out of the carriage, stopped and looked around, and saw all kinds of shops around him, pedestrians were ruddy-faced, his body was healthy, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were peaceful and natural, and occasionally he could see a few blonde foreigners, bargaining with small traders in a very strange Beijing accent, and couldn't help but laugh.
Ouyang put a hand on Zhiyun's shoulder and said in a low voice: "There are still few foreigners in the capital, and there are many foreigners in Guangzhou and Shanghai to do business. ”
"Although many of these foreigners are serious businessmen, they want to use their identities to deceive more people...... However, the common people of our country, especially those capable businessmen, have a lot more eyes than them, and it is difficult to suffer losses if they give a little guidance...... Of course, this is also because our country is strong enough. ”
Zhiyun smiled, his eyes wandered, and he smiled: "Shopping? ”
"Let's go shopping, I haven't been with you for many years." Ouyang waved his hand, and the coachman drove the carriage into the backyard of the restaurant next to him, and Zhiyun and Ouyang began to shop with great interest.
Although it was spring, the daylight was the most abundant at noon, Ouyang thought about it, and after a glance, a man with an ordinary appearance and no sense of existence appeared next to him, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and handed it over respectfully.
Ouyang Shi Shiran held up an umbrella for Zhiyun, which amused Zhiyun and said with a smile: "I really don't know if these people are roundworms in your stomach?" ”
"What roundworms? That's your husband's eyes that can speak. ”
The husband and wife walked forward slowly, looking at more and buying less along the way, they are not curious children, these things outside, there are not many boutiques that can be eyed, and after a while, the two came to a shop inlaid with transparent glass on all sides, Zhiyun looked up and saw that the signboard was generously holding a "" word.
"Brother's shop?"
"Who would dare to blatantly use so many large pieces of complete glass windows but him?"
Now glass windows are not a rare object, but only the palace and the homes of dignitaries in Beijing can install such transparent large glass, and it is not so popular that it will be popularized in ordinary people's homes, and shops are even rarer.
"The old man has always been good at business, he can't do anything wrong with this shop, why don't you go in and take a look?"
Zhiyun nodded from the goodness, took Ouyang's hand and entered the store.
As soon as the shopkeeper looked up, he saw that these two people were dressed and ornamented, and his bearing was noble, and he immediately understood that it was a big customer, and he didn't need to open his mouth at all. ”
As he spoke, he served tea and began to introduce the goods in the store in a coherent manner.
Zhiyun watched, listened, and nodded, the emperor is indeed a businessman, the shopkeeper in this store is well-trained, accustomed to looking at people's eyes, and has the ability to bewitch people's hearts, no worse than the modern waiters who are trained to work, at least, let him introduce it like this, Zhiyun unconsciously wants to buy many things that they don't need at all.
Moreover, the teacup is delicate white porcelain, the teapot is also the best purple sand, and the tea is also good, although it is not as good as the palace, but these utensils, the general rich and noble people can't afford to use it, it can be seen that the emperor is willing to pay for business. It seems that in the years of ancient times, Zhiyun has seen many shrewd businessmen, all of whom are not less capable than those modern merchants
Zhiyun raised her eyebrows and looked around, this shop was obviously just a small shop that was far from important under the emperor's name, but in the capital, it was already very high-grade.
The area is not small, there are about four or five hundred square meters, set up in the window to entertain the guests to rest the place, the tables and chairs are all made of good materials, the screen is the landscape map of Shu embroidery, quite elegant, there are more than a dozen counters outside, each of the objects placed on it are different, what rouge gouache, antique jewelry, all kinds of ready-to-wear, women's red embroidery, Western fresh ornaments, children's toys, it can be said that there is everything......
Zhiyun looked at these bits and pieces, and liked them in her heart, so she couldn't help but get up and walk over, picked up a sewing kit casually, looked through it, and picked a fan with white jade as the bone, these things are very exquisitely made, if they appear in modern times, I am afraid that each of them will become a rare work of art......
was admiring, and suddenly heard a sound of 'wow......', Zhiyun turned around, and saw a little boy who looked only three or four years old, with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, grinning and crying. There was also a grandmother standing forty miles away, a woman in her thirties, and a little girl with a bag and a bun hair, a pretty appearance, and a very tall figure, this little girl was only seven or eight years old, with pink cheeks, a pair of bright eyes, lively and clever, and very lovable.
Seeing that her son was crying, the woman put down the jade pendant she was holding in her hand, lowered her head, frowned, and said, "Didn't you just fall?" Crying, you know crying, just like your foxy mother, you can't get on the stage, hum, if I knew earlier, I wouldn't have raised you under my name, anything......"
"Mother"
The little girl wrinkled her face, although she didn't dare to be disrespectful to her mother, she still whispered, patted her brother's head distressedly, took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped the face and hands of the crying boy, and whispered: "Good brother, don't cry, sister will give Huhu, Huhu will not hurt." ”
The little girl's voice was gentle, but the boy seemed to be frightened by the tone of the lady just now, crying louder, even the shopkeeper next to him was at a loss, I don't know if I should go over to help, the shopkeeper also looked at it probingly, this is a store after all, this child is crying here, how to say it will affect his voice, but the people who can come in to shop are eight times out of ten big families, and he is not good at disturbing the guests casually.
Zhiyun's heart moved, hooked the corners of her lips, and walked over slowly, ignoring the stunned eyes of several people around her, she stretched out her hand to the crying boy, and then clenched her fist, spread out her other hand, and slowly pulled out a kaleidoscope of colorful glass light from the fist.
The little boy looked at Zhiyun's hand in a daze, forgot to cry for a while, his eyes widened, even his mouth opened, and his eyes swirled on Zhiyun's slender and plain white soft twing.
"Come, here you go, take it to play, don't cry, male husband, how can you shed tears so easily?" Zhiyun was in a good mood, smiled and handed the toy kaleidoscope in her hand to the child, and pinched the face of the little girl who was also looking at her with her eyes open.
The little girl was startled, her face turned red, but she still raised her head very calmly, looked at Zhiyun, and whispered: "Thank you, thank you, madam......" At this moment, the woman in her thirties let out a low cry in great surprise.
Zhiyun turned her head and smiled at the lady, "The children are very cute. Much more fun than the small one in our house. ”
"No...... Can't. ”
This lady obviously recognized Zhiyun's identity, after all, she is also from a big family, and her husband's family also has a little identity, and she still has the opportunity to enter the palace for a banquet during the New Year's holidays, and this woman is a shrewd person, how can she not know what the queen looks like?
At this time, she accidentally met the queen mother, even if she was determined, she couldn't help but panic, and her tongue was dry...... Hearing Zhiyun's words, she was even more flustered, after all, even if this lady had eight guts, she didn't dare to admit that her own children could compare with other people's dragons and phoenixes, not to mention, this was the queen in front of her, and there was also a royal highness in the queen's son.
