Chapter 67: Lan Lou (2nd Watch)

Qiao Ying also greeted Xie Chunfu, "Is Sister Xie also coming to buy jewelry today?" ”

"Yes." Xie Chunfu nodded and said, "This Lan Mansion is one of the best jewelry buildings in the city, and most of the nobles in the city also make jewelry here. ”

Qiao Wei said lightly, "I also heard that the craftsmanship here is good, so I heard about it." It seems that my cousin is a frequent visitor here, why don't we take a look together? ”

Qiao Wei asked the guy to remove the screen used in the cubicle, and invited Xie Chunfu to sit together.

Soon, the head of the shop personally selected a number of jewelry, opened the box in turn and displayed it in front of Qiao Wei for her to choose.

The main display is a complete set of gold ornaments, hairpins, step shakes, hair crowns, Jinsheng, Huasheng, Sanzi hairpins, collars, and then handpieces, earrings, jade pendants, etc.

This woman has little resistance to beautiful objects, especially delicate jewelry. Qiao Wei only felt as if there was a moving shopping cart in front of her, making her want to buy everything she saw directly.

"This is made by the new craftsman in the shop, and the master used to learn the crafts of the palace. Look at this hollow carving process, it is in the whole city, and the lady can't find a second one. ”

The manager was very enthusiastic to introduce Qiao Wei to the exquisiteness and allusion of these jewelry one by one.

Well...... The eloquence of this person in charge is definitely not inferior to the modern Li Jiaqi, and after listening to his explanation, she wants to go back with all the goods.

It's good not to give it away, but to keep it for yourself. No matter what era it is, gold is still hard currency, and it can be saved as a hedging investment project.

At this time, Xie Chunfu asked in a low voice, "Cousin-in-law, do you want to buy it as a gift for the old lady's birthday?" ”

Mrs. Wu's birthday is approaching, and Xie Chunfu also received invitations early, and many old people in the city also received invitations.

And Xie Chunfu looked at the jewelry in charge, and most of them were biased towards the rich and atmospheric style, and he had some guesses in his heart.

Qiao Wei didn't hide it either, "Yes." Does my cousin have any suggestions? ”

"The old lady actually likes jade jewelry more than gold jewelry, maybe my cousin can try it." Xie Chunfu pointed to one of the boxes presented by the master and said, "The horse has its head open, its chest is erect, its wings are raised, its hooves are raised, and it is riding the wind by stepping on the clouds." The fairy scarf is tied to his head, dressed in a feather coat, his head is held high, his hands grasp the horse's mane, and his legs are attached to the horse's belly.

The base under the horse's hooves is carved with auspicious clouds intertwined with each other, and the horse's forelimbs and tail are connected to the base. This bottle of jade immortal galloping horse has a good meaning. ”

It is probably related to the Han Dynasty's custom of seeking immortals, and many elders like this kind of jade with the meaning of feathering and ascending to immortals.

There is also a similar ornament in Qiao's mother's room, but it is made of jade, but it is carved from bamboo.

Qiao Wei felt that Xie Chunfu's proposal was very good, and she also asked Sun Quan last night, about Mrs. Wu's preferences, what Sun Quan said was similar to Xie Chunfu's meaning, Mrs. Wu likes jade.

Qiao Wei was about to talk to the person in charge about the galloping horse of this jade immortal, but he heard a sneer from a female son sitting at the table next to him.

I saw a female son-in-law in a dark intercolored skirt with a mocking face, "When the fifth sister said this, did you see what her identity was?" If not, my sister can lend you a bronze mirror.

Mrs. Qiao is the serious wife of Mrs. Wu! Who are you from Old Madam Wu? It is really ridiculous that Mrs. Qiao is so arrogant to instruct Mrs. Qiao to choose a gift for Mrs. Wu. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Chunfu was a little stunned, his face turned red, his hands were clenched, and even his joints were white.

But the son-in-law didn't intend to let her go, she pretended to be surprised, and continued, "Is it possible, you are still dreaming there, delusionally thinking that the second son will be moved by your affection, and it will not be possible to marry you?" ”

"Don't look at your own face, can you compare it with Mrs. Qiao? It's just that the East Shi is compared to the West Shi, and the salt is compared to the spring. ”

After that, several female sons-in-law couldn't help but cover their lips with handkerchiefs, laughing out loud, and their eyes were full of ridicule of Xie Chunfu's "self-indulgence and delusion".

Xie Chunfu bit his lower lip and lowered his eyes to hold back the tears in his eyes.

Obviously, this was by no means the first time Xie Chunfu had heard such ridicule, but she kept her head down and did not refute a word.

Even the good-natured Qiao Ying couldn't help but say out loud when she heard such harsh words, "Cicadas don't know snow, and people don't know righteousness." ”

Qiao Wei gently put down the tea in his hand and said lightly, "There is no salt and virtue, but in the spring season, he served Qi Xuangong with color, and later fell out of favor with Qi Xuangong due to old age and decay." Is the son-in-law implying something when she says this? ”

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

A few people who were still laughing at Xie Chunfu suddenly changed their faces, "The concubine didn't mean that, it was just ......"

"I just want Ling Mei to be ashamed of herself and embarrassed in front of everyone." Qiao Wei's words broke the minds of these girls.

Qiao Wei doesn't have much affection for Xie Chunfu, but he is even more disdainful of these people who wantonly ridicule others based on their appearance and whether they have male affection.

And these people who are now ridiculing Xie Chunfu think they are her Qiao Wei's helpers, helping her humiliate Xie Chunfu, and she shouldn't stop it, or even acquiesce or be proud.

But their behavior will not be sincere, and when they turn their heads in front of others, they will even ridicule her for serving people in Israel and ridiculing her for her humble background.

Qiao Wei was too lazy to get used to them.

"I have also heard from the old lady that the Xie family is strict, and the children in the family are all gentle, courteous, and virtuous.

But when I saw it today, I was disappointed, the sisters with the same surname did not maintain the family style in front of outsiders, but fell into the well without hesitation. ”

The son-in-law of the Xie family heard that her face was blue and white, as if she had opened a dyeing workshop. The other sons-in-law who had just opened their mouths to laugh at Xie Chunfu on the side were also silent, not daring to squeak again.

Xie Chunfu raised his eyes in disbelief, and then was grateful.

Qiao Wei glanced at those female sons, and the coldness in his eyes was fully revealed, "It is not easy for women to walk between heaven and earth compared to men, and the matter of reputation is like a sharp sword, hanging above their heads from time to time."

You are all noble daughters of the family, and when you are in the boudoir, your family is also educated to read and learn words, in order to distinguish right from wrong and cultivate your character, not to let you speak harshly to others and slander your reputation.

As everyone knows, the crowd is full of gold, the bones are destroyed, and the words of people are terrifying, and they are even more invisible. ”

After Qiao Wei dropped these words, he pointed to the jade immortal galloping horse and a few gold ornaments that had just been selected, and ordered the master to pack it and send it to Sun's mansion, and then took Qiao Ying and left the Lanlou, leaving behind the sons of women to look at each other.
