Chapter Fifty-Eight: The He Family
Ye Bao'er was not very interested in these, so he walked to the shelves of the carved small objects by himself and looked at them.
Ye Xuanxuan also went with him, and she reached out and picked up the two boxes: "Shopkeeper, how much are these two boxes?" He turned to the young man.
The young man who had been reading wholeheartedly raised his head, glanced at it and said with a smile: "If the girl likes to give a price at will!" After saying that, he lowered his head and read the book.
Ye Xuanxuan was a little speechless, and really wanted to scold a few nerds.
But he actually said that he would give a price at will.
"The shopkeeper, how much is as much as it is, you name the price." Ye Xuanxuan was anxious to do something, but she really didn't want to rub shoulders with him.
The young man seemed to be a little impatient, frowned and raised his head, thought for a moment and pointed to the old man in the corner and said, "Then ask the old master!" ”
And then he went to be his nerd again.
Ye Xuanxuan glanced at the old man, dragged her legs and limped over: "Master, I don't know the price of these two boxes?" ”
The man's hair was gray, and he was making a pen holder in his hand, which seemed to be carved into bamboo.
Looking at the vicissitudes of life and wrinkled hands, Ye Xuanxuan suddenly thought of her grandfather who was still in another world: I didn't know what my grandfather was like this.
The old master was carving his hand for a moment, and when he looked up and saw Ye Xuanxuan's eyes, his heart felt as if he had been hit by something.
It was probably Ye Xuanxuan's sad eyes that made the old master feel dumbfounded, he hurriedly lowered his head, and said a few words in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Give Shiwen!" ”
Fortunately, Ye Xuanxuan's ears are good, and as soon as she heard Shiwen, she knew that this old man was also calling the price at will.
After thinking about it, Ye Xuanxuan looked at the blank space left on both sides of the lid of the box, pointed to the master and said, "I don't know if the master may help carve a few words, I can add money." ”
As if he didn't expect this little girl to have such a request, the old man shook his hand and nodded again.
Ye Xuanxuan was overjoyed: "Then it's troublesome master, please help me engrave the three words 'Liulifang' in this vacant place" After speaking, she handed over the two boxes.
The old master was a skilled craftsman, and he was skilled in carpentry, and he carved it in a few minutes.
It's still the font of this era, and it's a bit like Songti.
Ye Xuanxuan looked at it and was very satisfied, took out fifty wen and handed it to the master.
But the old man didn't look up, after thinking about it, Ye Xuanxuan took it and handed it to the young shopkeeper.
He turned his head sideways and asked Ye Baoer if she liked it, although Ye Bao'er was full of happiness, she shook her head and said no.
Thinking that it's still early, I can buy it when I go shopping. So put the money on the counter.
Hearing the sound, the young man looked up at the money that Ye Xuanxuan put on the counter: "Wait a minute, this girl, you give too much." As he spoke, he picked up ten pieces and put them in the cabinet, and looked down to read again.
Ye Xuanxuan thought about it and took back thirty wen, but there were still ten wen left on the counter.
After the three siblings walked out of the store, the young man came back to his senses. When he accidentally looked up and saw the money on the counter, he paused, and suddenly shouted outside the door: "Hey, girl, there is too much money." But no one answered him, he sighed, shook his head, and went on reading.
No one knows, though. When Ye Xuanxuan walked out with a limp, the master in the corner raised his eyes to look at Ye Xuanxuan's back, and his eyes flashed with a trace of inadvertent light.
For Ye Xuanxuan, this is just a small episode.
All she wanted was a box of face fat.
Walking to the corner of the main street, Ye Xuanxuan put down the bamboo basket, took out the flour fat box and put it into the wooden box. Just one box can hold four kinds.
After some speculation, she put a few of the choices away. After carrying the basket, we walked towards West Street around the corner.
When you reach the west street, although the road is not as wide as the main street, it can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages, and it is all paved with bluestone slabs. Each one occupies a large area, and it is estimated that there are several hundred square meters per family. It's all glazed tiles and blue brick yards. There are stairs at the door of the house, and on both sides are the lions of the town house made of stone, and the house is a big red wood gate, which is solemn and magnificent. There is a family at the door of every house, and the second house is the He family.
On the large black plaque, the word 'He Zhai' is written in a Song style. At the door are two stone lions, which are also the doors of the big red wooden house, and there are four family members at the door.
"Big sister, it's so big here!" Ye Bao'er pulled Ye Xuanxuan's sleeve a little crampedly and sighed.
Ye Xuanxuan stretched out her hand and pulled one: "Don't be afraid, my sister is here to find someone." Let's go shopping when we're done, okay? ”
After Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er nodded, Ye Xuanxuan still didn't let go, she knew that it was the first time for these two little guys to come to such a place, and there was no way to not be nervous.
Holding the hands of the two, the three children of the Ye family walked towards the He house.
The family at the door had seen these three children before, and they all looked a few years old, and the eldest girl was about eight years old and didn't think much about it. When he saw them walking towards him, he was a little surprised: how dare the three poor children come here?
They thought this way because children in the town were generally afraid to play on the street, and even fewer children from poor families. Because the family will tell them not to run around here, so as not to collide with the nobles.
Ye Xuanxuan naturally saw their fleeting expressions of surprise, but she didn't take it to heart.
When they got closer, a kind family came up and reminded them: "Little girl, this is not such a place, you can take your younger brothers and sisters to play elsewhere!" After saying that, he smiled kindly.
She naturally saw the kindness of the family, but she couldn't leave before she had done today's business.
"This little brother, we're not here to play. Please help me pass it on, I will find the young grandmother of the He family. After saying that, he took out ten cents and handed it to the housekeeper.
Ye Xuanxuan's series of words and actions made the family stunned.
After coming back to his senses, the family smiled: "I don't know what the girl is looking for my young grandmother?" Also,Is the girl a young grandmother or a relative.。。 Although the words were not finished, Ye Xuanxuan also understood.
"Naturally, there is something wrong, please ask the little brother to help spread it, and say that someone in Lujiazhuang asked me to bring a message." That little brother is also clever, and as soon as he heard Lu Jiazhuang, he knew that it was the young grandmother's maiden family. Hurriedly nodded and accepted the money, asked them to wait for a while, and then went to the house.
Although I saw that this older girl had problems with her legs and feet, these family members were all pale. It is very good for the He family to discipline the subordinates, no wonder He Ziyi can teach the people in the pharmacy so decently.
