Chapter 80: Silk Village
Except for the little snot and the little sloppy, everyone looked at Su Shi with red eyes, because no one cared about them except Bao Ma and Nan Dad.
Everyone else treats them like lowly weeds to trample on at will.
But Su Shi is different, not only willing to be friends with them, but also willing to help them.
Su Shi said: "Do you need me to take you to buy clothes?" ”
Dogan shook his head with tears in his eyes.
"Really, you don't need to?"
Goudan smiled, laughing very happily, and he said proudly: "I often beg in front of Tailor Li's shop, so I know exactly what the price of the clothes he sells there is, and he can't fool me." ”
"Where's the bathhouse?"
Erya blushed and said, "Grandpa Yao, who is guarding the door in the bathhouse, is a good person, and there is no one in the bathhouse at this time, so Grandpa Yao will help us." ”
Su Shi smiled and said, "Very good, it seems that you are all capable." ”
Goudan left with his little friend, and before leaving, Goudan suddenly turned around and said firmly to Su Shi: "I know you are very rich, and I don't care about this money at all, but we will definitely return this money to you." ”
"I know, and I'm sure it won't take long for you to pay it off."
They finally left this dead end, and when they came in, they were like gophers hiding everywhere, and when they left, although they were still in rags, each one of them had their heads held high and their eyes full of light.
Su Shi followed them quietly, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Because although he has figured out a lot of things, there are still a few things he can't understand.
He couldn't help but mutter, "Why do you want to play such a childish game with me when you're such a big person?" ”
After saying that, he slowly reached into the placket of his coat and pulled out the piece of silk from the placket pocket.
It was a handkerchief, and when Su Shi's fingers touched the handkerchief, he could immediately feel its silkiness and delicacy.
The handkerchief was folded squarely, and the first thing that caught Su Shi's eye was a lonely plum.
The trunk of the tree zigzags upward, and a lifelike plum blossom stands proudly on the dead branches.
Su Shi unfolded the handkerchief and found that in addition to this lonely plum branch, there were four patterns embroidered on the handkerchief.
Each pattern is small, only the size of a fingernail, but the embroiderer is highly skilled and each pattern is delicately embroidered.
The four patterns are simple, clear, and elegant, like a graceful crane dancing.
Although he knew that the secret of this handkerchief was hidden in these four patterns, Su Shi looked at these four patterns several times, but he couldn't understand what they meant at all.
Su Shi rubbed his forehead, and when he was at a loss, he inadvertently saw a silk village diagonally opposite.
His heart suddenly moved, and then he walked straight to the silk village.
As soon as he came to the door of the silk village, a delicate and clever little guy greeted him, with a comfortable smile on his face, and greeted warmly: "Childe, please inside, our store has complete goods, and the price is good, it will definitely satisfy Childe." ”
When Su Shi entered the store, the shopkeeper saw that Su Shi was magnificent, not like an ordinary person, and hurriedly walked out to receive him personally.
Su Shi looked around, and saw that the shelves were full of various colors of silk and satin, but as the little guy said, the goods were indeed very complete.
But as for whether it is cheap and good, Su Shi is not familiar with silk and cannot judge.
The shopkeeper came to Su Shi's side and was about to greet him, but Su Shi asked first: "The shopkeeper's surname is you." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then replied, "Your surname is Xu." ”
"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Xu." Su Shi continued to ask: "I don't know how many years the shopkeeper Xu has been running this silk village?" ”
Shopkeeper Xu didn't know the intentions of this young noble boy for a while, and looked up at Su Shi slightly, only to see Su Shi looking at him with blazing eyes, and Shopkeeper Xu immediately felt a kind of coercion.
He hurriedly replied: "If you count from the apprenticeship, you have been running the silk village for thirty-three years. ”
"Thirty-three years!" Su Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then he said: "That shopkeeper Xu must know all kinds of silk and satin well. ”
As soon as he mentioned his own business, the shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but show a trace of arrogance on his face, and he smiled: "Don't dare to say anything else, I can know the value of any silk at a glance, and I will know the origin when I touch it." ”
Seeing that Shopkeeper Xu was so confident, Su Shi was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect his luck to be so good, and couldn't help but smile: "In this case, I just want to ask Shopkeeper Xu about something." ”
Shopkeeper Xu thought that Su Shi was going to test himself, so he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, please tell me if my son has something." ”
Su Shi took out the handkerchief from his arms, unfolded it in front of Shopkeeper Xu, and then asked slowly: "Can Shopkeeper Xu see the origin of this handkerchief?" ”
Shopkeeper Xu didn't think so at first, and when Su Shi unfolded his handkerchief, he looked at it fixedly, and suddenly his face changed greatly, his whole body was like sifting chaff, and he looked at Su Shi with a panicked face.
Su Shi saw that Shopkeeper Xu's face had changed greatly, and his expression was very different, so he couldn't help but look at him suspiciously, and asked with concern: "Shopkeeper Xu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Hearing Su Shi's voice, Shopkeeper Xu was startled, retreated several steps in a row, and then looked at Su Shi tremblingly.
Su Shi couldn't imagine that a handkerchief would make Shopkeeper Xu so afraid, he couldn't help but take a closer look, but he was still confused, and he couldn't see what was terrible about this handkerchief.
"Do you know where this handkerchief came from?" Su Shi looked at Shopkeeper Xu again.
"Could it be...... Don't Childe know? ”
Su Shi smiled bitterly: "If I knew, why did I ask you what you were doing?" ”
Shopkeeper Xu's face changed again, and he hurriedly said: "Son, please go back, the small shop has something to do today, and it won't do business anymore." ”
Su Shi naturally knew that this was his excuse, so he was willing to give up like this, he said lightly: "If Shopkeeper Xu doesn't tell me the origin of this handkerchief, I won't leave today." ”
This sentence is a bit lazy, but even if he is lazy, Su Shi is determined to know the origin of this handkerchief.
Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly waved to Su Shi, and said with a flustered expression: "Please also ask the son to leave, don't affect the small shop." In the next year, I am old, there are old and young, please raise your noble hand and let me go. ”
Hearing the shopkeeper Xu's nonsense, Su Shi was even more curious, and couldn't help but say: "I just want to know the origin of this handkerchief, how can it affect you?" ”
However, the shopkeeper Xu seemed to be overly frightened, his face was pale, and he just looked at Su Shi in horror, unable to say a word.
In desperation, Su Shi had no choice but to say: "Do you know General Su Niansu?" ”
Shopkeeper Xu nodded.
"I am Su Shi, the second son of General Su's Mansion." Su Shi looked directly at the shopkeeper Xu and said slowly: "So you don't have to be afraid, just tell me the origin of the handkerchief, and I will take care of everything." ”
Hearing that Su Shi reported to his home, Shopkeeper Xu gradually settled down, and then asked, "Are you really Su Shi, the second son of General Su's Mansion?" ”
