Chapter 16 Go out on your own, Qi digs a pit
Four days after the sacrifice of the deceased old man, Qi smiled and said to Su: "Didn't you say a few days ago that my sister and Shu'er were going to buy clothes and jewelry?" If you are free in the past two days, why don't you take your sister out of the house to go shopping and pick one? The materials and jewelry in the warehouse are suitable for the old lady, I sent them, the old lady likes it very much, but my sister and Shu'er always have to buy some new ones and better! It just so happened that I was very busy with the sacrificial thing, and I couldn't leave, so I didn't accompany my sister, can my sister go by herself? If I can't, then I'll have to bother my sister to wait a little longer, and then I'll take my sister there when I'm busy for a while......"
Qi's words were ostentatious, sarcastic and deliberate, which can be called a high rank of yin and yang.
Su naturally couldn't say that she would wait for the Qi family to finish her work before taking herself, if she dared to say so, there would definitely be jokes spread outside the mansion that the eldest lady of the Pingbei Hou Mansion didn't even dare to go out, and she couldn't even buy anything.
"Don't bother Sister Qi, I'll go with Shu'er by ourselves."
"It's okay, in that case, then tomorrow, I'll arrange the carriage for my sister!"
"Row ......"
"Then it's decided, sister, don't forget!"
Qi smiled, pointed out that he had something to do and left.
When Su Shi went back, he discussed with Xie Yunshu.
Xie Yunshu chuckled: "Mother don't be afraid of her, isn't it just to buy things, it's not that we haven't bought it, it's just that the store in this capital is bigger and there are more goods." Don't forget, you are now the eldest lady of Pingbei Hou Mansion, which shop dares to underestimate you? I don't dare to underestimate you, and no one pushes the God of Wealth out, so let's just go! ”
Su Shi was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Xie Yunshu's words, "Shu'er is right, it's such a reason!" ”
The next morning, when the mother and daughter greeted Mrs. Xie, they said this, and Mrs. Xie smiled: "Go quickly!" Yun Niang, buy more good ones for Shu'er, don't be afraid of spending money, Shu'er is a big girl, so she should dress up well. Buy more for yourself and dress up! ”
Su Shi smiled and responded.
After breakfast, the mother and daughter took their maidservants out in the car.
Qi arranged for Mama Liu, who was beside him, to follow.
When the carriage left the house, Mama Liu smiled and said, "Madam, there are many silk and satin shops, garment shops, and gold and silver buildings on Furong Street in Dongcheng, why don't you go there?" The eldest lady and the eldest lady are also good to pick slowly? ”
Su Shi glanced at Xie Yunshu and nodded: "Go ahead." ”
It is true that there are many such shops on Furong Street, as Mama Liu said, but most of them are mid-range shops, and there are only two high-end time-honored stores, and Mama Liu will definitely not tell them.
Sure enough, when she arrived at the place, Mama Liu said with a smile on her face: "Big lady, look at it, how lively this is!" Every shop here sells excellent things, and we will go to whichever one the eldest lady likes! ”
Su Shi smiled and said gently: "Shu'er said that we will go wherever it is good." ”
Xie Yunshu hugged Su's arm and smiled: "Okay, my mother still loves me the most!" ”
The Great Xuan Dynasty is not so harsh on the defense of men and women, the rules and etiquette are good, and it is not uncommon for women to go shopping. What's more, this Furong Street is a gathering place for silk villages and gold and silver jewelry shops, and there are more women.
Xie Yunshu ordered the curtain to be opened, and the carriage walked slowly, so that it was convenient to see the doors of the shops.
The capital is really prosperous, the streets are straight and wide, the shops on both sides are all large and magnanimous, the decoration is novel and eye-catching, and it is pleasing to the eye.
When he saw Jinyuanfang, Xie Yunshu ordered to stop, pointed and smiled: "Mother, the name of this shop is very good, let's go in and have a look." ”
Jinyuanfang and Ruiyaxiang are the only two high-end time-honored silk villages on this street.
Mama Liu was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly became a little ugly, and she couldn't help but smile: "This shop seems to be a little old-fashioned, why don't you take a look at it again?" ”
"No, this is it! I love it here! ”
Su Shi smiled and said, "If Shu'er likes it, go here." ”
Mama Liu didn't want to say anything, so she had to be.
After getting out of the carriage, Xie Yunshu suddenly looked up at Mama Liu again, and said with a smile: "Mama Liu, when you enter the store for a while, don't forget to explain to the shopkeeper that my mother and I are the eldest lady and eldest lady of the Pingbei Hou Mansion, after all, we have just come to Beijing, and others don't know each other. ”
Mama Liu: "......"
"Miss, you can rest assured ......"
Xie Yunshu smiled and nodded, holding Su's arm: "Mother, let's go in!" ”
"Good!"
When the group entered, Mama Liu saw Xie Yunshu and Su staring at each other, and she had no choice but to smile and explain the identities of the two to the shopkeeper.
It doesn't matter whether Xie Yunshu and the Su family are from the countryside or not, what matters is the signboard of the Pingbei Hou Mansion.
As the top time-honored silk village in the capital industry, coupled with Qi's intentional publicity, he naturally knew about the Pingbei Hou Mansion.
But how sleek is she? Even if he was secretly looking at Xie Yunshu's mother and daughter in his heart, maybe he was a little contemptuous, but he didn't show it at all, with a smile on his face and a warm and polite reception.
"It turned out that the eldest lady and eldest lady of the Pingbei Hou Mansion came to visit, and the small shop was really splendid! Mrs. Xie and Miss Xie are coming back for the first time, why don't you take the two of them in person? If you have a favorite concubine, talk to the two of you! It doesn't matter if you don't like it, the two of you said bluntly, everyone is friends in the future, Mrs. Xie and Miss Xie want to cut new clothes, please take care of our Jinyuanfang, we have a lot of new good materials here, they are all specially purchased from Jiangnan, there will always be two people who like it......"
This shopkeeper Hua, who is over thirty years old, is a woman who laughs extremely kindly, and as soon as she speaks, she makes people listen very comfortably, and the Su family, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly relaxed, and secretly said that Shu'er is right, there is the Pingbei Hou Mansion, who dares to underestimate her?
Su Shi nodded with a smile: "Then there will be a shopkeeper Lao!" ”
"Oh, don't dare to be, don't dare to be! Mrs. Xie is polite! You two, please! Shopkeeper Hua smiled and led them to the elegantly decorated small flower hall at the back.
She couldn't help but look secretly, seeing that this Mrs. Xie had a thoughtful appearance, although her words and deeds were a little restrained, but on the whole, she could also say that she was down-to-earth and generous, not to mention that Miss Xie had a temperament and bearing that was revealed from the inside out, and she was not inferior to the nobles in the capital.
Shopkeeper Hua quietly glanced at the clothes on the two of them, chatted a few words, and roughly understood the preferences of the two, and reported the names of a series of brocade silk and satin, and soon three female guys brought a large number of good clothes of various colors, and carefully stacked them on the platform specially used to place the clothes.
