Chapter Twenty-Three: Encountering Fugitives on the Road
Xie Youwei is a person who has high requirements for his works.
I haven't touched these for a long time, I feel a lot rusty, and it took several hours to finish a sketch.
Xie Youwei happily lifted the sketch and leaned to Xicui's side.
"Xicui Xicui, do you look good at this?"
On the rice paper is a design of a step shake with a butterfly that looks like it is about to take off, and a few delicate flowers and beads.
The design is simple, but it's exceptionally beautiful.
The drowsiness in Xicui's eyes was dispelled a little, and she looked at the manuscript in Xie Youwei's hand and nodded vigorously.
"Looks good!"
Whatever your own lady does, it's the best!
After receiving Xicui's affirmation, Xie Youwei couldn't help but smile a little shyly.
has been praised by contemporary natives, or the recognition of Xicui, who has followed her to see so many jewels since she was a child, Xie Youwei is also a lot more relieved about her works.
The next day, Xie Youwei entrusted Xicui to go out and help him inquire about all the larger jewelry stores in the city.
Xicui also lived up to expectations completely, and when she came back in the evening, she spied all the information clearly for Xie Youwei.
In the entire capital, there are a total of three jewelry shops that generally meet Xie Youwei's requirements.
The first one is the Jewel Jade Pavilion that Xie Nianzhu gave her before.
The Pearl Jade Pavilion can be said to be the largest jewelry shop in the entire capital, and the flow of people is also large, and many famous ladies like to go to that place to choose jewelry.
The remaining two, one is called Baiyutang, and the other is called Mandarin Duck Hairpin.
Both of these are far less famous than the Jewel Pavilion.
But the weakest one among them is undoubtedly the mandarin duck hairpin.
Xi Cui muttered, like pouring beans, she went to the street to inquire about the gossip and told it together.
"It is said that Bai Yutang seems to have signed some kind of contract with Zhuyu Pavilion, and after having the help of Zhuyu Pavilion, Bai Yutang was loved by a lot of people all of a sudden, and the business was not good."
"That mandarin duck hairpin is different, I heard that the shopkeeper of that house imitated the jewelry of the Zhuyu Pavilion to sell it at a low price, and was later exposed by the Zhuyu Pavilion, and now this mandarin hairpin seems to have no customers."
Xicui's small mouth was, Xie Youwei felt like she was sitting on the bench at the head of the village wrapped in a flower cotton jacket, and the gang of kung fu listened to everyone's gossip cleanly.
After Xicui finished speaking, her voice was a little hoarse.
Xie Youwei handed over a glass of water.
I drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
Putting down the teacup, Hee-tsui wiped her mouth.
"Miss, which one do you want to work with? Jewel Pavilion? ”
Xie You pursed his lips slightly, but did not respond immediately.
Indeed, it sounds like the best choice to choose the Jewel Pavilion.
The Zhuyuge store is big, and it has been in business for so many years, so it should be reliable.
"I'll find a time to check it out."
Even if the Jewel Jade Pavilion seemed so reliable, Xie Youwei didn't dare to make a decision right away.
Xie Youwei stayed at home for a long time, and only went out after his feet recovered.
It's just that Xie Youwei didn't take Xicui with her on this trip, and went out alone.
The matter of saving money to escape from marriage, after all, is disobeying Yi's will, and if he is discovered, he will lose his head.
Xie Youwei didn't dare to take Xicui around, that would be too big a target.
She has also learned a little kung fu, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
Xie Youwei brought a wide hat covered with a white veil, and added an extra half-face mask to prevent accidents.
Covering himself tightly, Xie Youwei went out satisfied.
Xie Youwei's dress up and walking on the street attracted a lot of attention.
Xie You pressed the brim of his hat slightly, and once again increased his speed.
It's not that I'm worried about being recognized.
It is estimated that no one will associate this freak who is flying like a fly with the sick Miss Yangzi of the General's Mansion.
It's just that there are too many lines of sight around, which makes Xie Youwei instinctively a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Xie Youwei heard an exclamation not far away, followed by the sound of things scattering and falling to the ground.
There are also many wails from vendors.
"Shop! My shop! ”
Then, the people on the side of the road began to duck to the side very quickly, and a road was vacated in the middle of the street.
Xie Youwei also saw the scenery ahead because of this.
A man dressed in black ran in the direction of Xie Youwei from the other end, overturning the stalls of roadside vendors all the way.
And not far behind the man, a group of people are closing the distance between the two parties little by little.
Xie You blinked slightly.
If you're not mistaken, the group of people in the back is Jinyiwei?
Sure enough, a voice sounded soon after.
"Jin Yiwei handles the case! Idle people wait to dodge! ”
Xie You frowned slightly, and then followed the people around him and was about to walk to the side.
Unexpectedly, the fugitive rushed to a place not far from Xie Youwei at this time and kicked over a vendor's stall fiercely.
The wooden shelves supported under the stall were also kicked by the fugitive, and the wooden shelves scattered and smashed towards the side.
And there was a scared kid standing over there.
Xie Youwei estimated the arc of the wooden shelf falling in his heart.
No doubt it will hit the kid.
Xie Youwei's expression froze, and he quickly stepped forward two steps, kicking away the wooden board that was about to hit the child's head.
When kicking, Xie Youwei deliberately found a good direction.
The plank was kicked out, just in time to hit the fugitive's heel.
The fugitive tripped and almost fell to the ground.
And it was at this time that the man who was headed by the brocade guard stepped over the things on the ground and flew down to press the fugitive.
The brocade guards in the back also rushed up, and the division of labor clearly tied up the fugitive tightly.
Xie Youwei stood in place and gasped.
The foot was just right, and this tossed her again.
Xie Youwei felt a dull pain in her feet.
At this moment, a woman suddenly ran over and took the frightened child into her arms.
"Thank you, thank you." The woman's face was full of tears, and she choked up and thanked her, "If it weren't for you...... I really don't know what to do......"
As she spoke, the woman hugged the child in her arms a little tighter.
Xie Youwei's face under the veil hooked a smile, leaned down and touched the child's head, and his voice was soft.
"It's okay, it's okay."
At this time, the brocade guard pressed the fugitive and was about to leave.
The fugitive looked at the place where Xie Youwei was, his eyes were gloomy, and when he took over Xie Youwei's side, he suddenly moved his foot, and kicked the hairpins scattered by the vendors on the side in the direction of Xie Youwei.
Xie Youwei looked at the hairpin that was close at hand, her pupils froze suddenly, and she subconsciously wanted to hide, but there was a sudden tingling pain in her foot, which disturbed Xie Youwei's thoughts.
