Chapter 17 Warmth (2)
Sitting on a horse with Zijin was nothing, but Yuxi was still a little flustered when she was in a crowded place and was watched by so many people.
Zijin smiled and said, "It's okay, girl, didn't you see a lot of women riding out on horseback? They don't see girls because they ride horses, but because they are beautiful." Just her girl, as soon as she stood up, But it is not enough to compare the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law of Yucheng.
Oak-hee said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zi Jin was in a good mood and said, "I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, you can ask the general?" Seeing Yuxi's face reddening again, Zi Jin felt more cheerful: "Girl, I think it's actually pretty good here. Alright. When we have time in the future, we can also go out for a walk." Locked in the room for the whole time and not going out, I can't feel aggrieved.
Yuxi nodded and said, "Let's talk about it later!" This place is indeed better than in the capital, there are not so many restraints, and the actions are very ZìYóu.
Yunqing took Yuxi to the most prosperous street in Yucheng, Mugu Street. When Yuxi heard the name, he asked Yunqing curiously, "Why is it called Mugu Street? What's the background?" This name is really interesting, and I don't know who came up with it.
Yun Qing shook his head: "I don't know either, this street has a history of over a hundred years in Yucheng." Why is it called Mugu Street, he really didn't have time to pay attention.
Mugu Street is very prosperous. When a group of people walked in, they heard the sound of hawking, and people came and went very lively. There are also many shops on this street, including jewelry shops, rouge gouache shops, and silk and satin shops.
Yun Qing stopped in front of the jewelry store. When he was hired, he didn't think about adding a few precious and beautiful jewelry, but he didn't know what Yuxi liked, so he thought about waiting for Yuxi to come and bring her to buy it himself. You can also buy what you like.
Yuxi pulled Yun Qing's sleeve and said, "No need, let's see other things!"
Yun Qing looked at the hosta on Yuxi's head and said, "You don't need to save me money, you can buy what you like." He heard from his subordinates that there is no woman who doesn't like gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful clothes. That's why he brought Oak Hee to buy things.
Yuxi was embarrassed, she really didn't save Yunqing money. But seeing that Yun Qing insisted on buying it for her, she also appreciated it. Things are second, with this heart, she is very happy.
Seeing this, Zijin also had a smile on her face. I don't know what to do in the future, at least now Yunqing's performance makes Zijin very satisfied.
The shopkeeper of the jewelry store had first-class eyesight, and he knew that a big customer was coming by looking at Oak-hee's clothes. The best jewelry in the shop is now taken out. The material of these jewelry is good, but the workmanship is not good. He was used to the clever and beautiful jewelry, and these slightly rough jewelry couldn't get into Yuxi's eyes. But for a rare visit, Oak Xi chose a pair of silver bracelets engraved with a pattern she had never seen before, and didn't want anything else.
Yun Qing frowned.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "I don't like the others." Even with this pair of silver bracelets, she just thought the pattern was very interesting and special, so she wouldn't wear them after buying them.
The shopkeeper looked at the white magnolia jade hairpin on Yuxi's head. The white magnolia jade hairpin was carved extremely finely. This craftsmanship suppressed most of the items in his shop. The shopkeeper said, "Madam, I have some jade here. If Madam is interested, you can go to the wing to see it." The temperament of the woman in front of her was matched with jade.
Yuxi was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "Then show me your best jade." She just wondered why there were so few jade ornaments in the shop, but they didn't release it!
What Yuxi didn't know was that ordinary people in Yucheng didn't like jade ornaments very much, and they liked gold and silver ornaments the most. The ordinary jade ornaments of rich people are not attractive, so there are only a few jade ornaments in the store.
into the room,
The shopkeeper personally took out the jade ornaments at the bottom of the box in the store.
Yu Xi took a fancy to a green jade bracelet at a glance, and the bracelet was so green that it seemed like it was about to drip. Oak-hee took it out and asked, "How do you buy and sell this bracelet?"
The shopkeeper said, "One thousand two hundred taels."
After hearing this, Yun Qing felt that it was too expensive, not that he was reluctant, but that such a bracelet was not worth 1,200 taels. He had seen this kind of stone a lot before, how could it be worth this price. But seeing that Yuxi liked it, he didn't say anything.
Buying things depends on fate, Oak Hee really likes this bracelet.
Zi Jin looked at Yu Xi's look, and immediately said: "The shopkeeper, eight hundred taels, eight hundred taels, my wife bought it." In fact, if such a bracelet is placed in the capital, there are not thousands of taels that can't be taken off. One thousand two hundred taels is not expensive. But who made the jade here unfashionable!
The shopkeeper suddenly got stuck. In the past, when the officials and wives came to buy things, they paid for them when they saw it. This was the first time they had bargained! The shopkeeper weighed it in his heart and said, "One thousand taels, this is the lowest price."
Zi Jin was also very straightforward and said, "Eight hundred and eighty-two. The shopkeeper, these eighty-eights mean hair, what a good omen!" Seeing the shopkeeper's hesitation, Zi Jin smiled and said, "My wife has just arrived in Yucheng. , I will definitely buy a lot of jewelry in the future. You won't give in, but there will be no next time. "
Looking at Yunqing and Yuxi's clothes, they knew they were rich people. The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Okay, eight hundred and eighty-two. I also hope that Madam will patronize our business more in the future."
Seeing that the two had negotiated a good price, Yuxi immediately put the jade bracelet on her hand. The bracelet is worn on the wrist, making the hands more delicate and fair.
After going out, Zi Jin looked at the bracelet on Yu Xi's hand, and said in surprise, "Girl, will your bracelet change color?" After a while, it changed from green to blue, and then to emerald green again. This bracelet is a rarity. The girl's eyes are really good.
Yuxi said with a smile, "This kind of jade is like this. The light is different, and the appearance of the appearance is different." Yuxi didn't have such a top-level jade ornament, but Yuchen had such a face.
Yun Qing walked out of the shop and asked, "Do you like jade?" Seeing Yuxi nodding, he took this matter to heart. If you get the spoils in the future, if you don’t give all of them to your subordinates, you have to pick some good ones and keep them.
The shopkeeper sent Yu Xi and his group away, and immediately asked people to inquire about the details of these people. Knowing that the man just now was Yun Qing and the woman was Yun Qing's new wife, her eyes were about to fall. Yun Qing is very famous, but very few people have seen him, let alone a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said incredulously: "General Yun actually accompanied his wife to buy jewelry?" How could he hear it and think it was fantastic!
The servant said with a smile: "It's true. The shopkeeper, isn't there a saying that a hero is saddened by a beauty?" So, it's not surprising.
The shopkeeper said with a sullen face: "What a mess, hurry up and get to work."
Oak-hee, the rouge gouache shop, didn't go in. She wasn't used to using rouge gouache bought outside. Even if she wanted to use it, she made it herself. On the contrary, I spent more time in the satin shop because I chose a lot of fabrics.
It was yīn day when I went out, and the sun had already risen after buying the fabric. It's already early July, and it's too hot to walk a few steps.
Eat lunch outside. Yunqing specially brought Yuxi to eat Northwest dishes, such as mutton with hands, lamb liver mixed with chives, fresh fish and sheep, braised beef brain, and braised hump. The staple food was beef noodles.
The flavors were all authentic and delicious, but Oak-hee tried her best to restrain herself, and she was eighteen full. After eating, he smiled and said, "Husband, the food here is delicious, do you come here often?" It is delicious, but it can only be eaten once in a while, not often. Eating more vegetarian food is the way to keep your body healthy.
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "If you like it, I'll bring you next time."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Then I'll wait!"
Yun Qing thought for a while and then said, "I'll take you to eat brushed mutton in October. Yangji's brushed mutton tastes very good, I believe you will like it." It's too hot, it's not the season to eat brushed mutton .
Yu Xi actually felt that Yun Qing's words were a bit blunt, and he was probably not used to it, but it was very rare to be able to do this for her. Immediately responded with a smile.
Originally, Yunqing wanted to take Yuxi around again, but the sun was too strong, Yuxi couldn't stand it, and said, "Husband, go back! It's not too late to stroll around when you have time next time."
Back at the mansion, the first thing Oak-hee did was take a shower. The body is sticky, and if you don't take a bath, you can't sleep.
Yun Qing knew that Yuxi had the habit of taking naps, and said, "Then go to sleep! I'll discuss something with Uncle Huo." Yun Qing did not have the habit of taking naps.
Huo Changqing knew that Yunqing took Yuxi out to go shopping, and said, "You are newly married, so I won't say anything, but don't indulge in the gentle village." If you indulge in the gentle village, you will lose your fighting spirit. Without the will to fight, how can I take revenge against Mr. Yun in the future.
Yun Qingdian said, "Yu Xi married into Yucheng by herself. She is unfamiliar with her life. I want to spend more time with her while she has a few days off."
Huo Changqing didn't say anything more: "It's fine if you have your own measure." For Huo Changqing, revenge must be avenged, but he can't ignore anything for revenge.
Yun Qing nodded.
Huo Changqing said, "What does Qin Zhao say about the grain and army salaries for the autumn and winter seasons?" But without food and grass, there is no way to spend this winter safely. Before Marshal Qin was there, this matter was not in Yun Qing's heart, but now it is not. And they had to beware that Qin Zhao would make trouble with it.
Yun Qing's face was a little heavy: "Qin Zhao said that he wanted to go to the capital in person." He said that he was going to the capital to get military salaries, but he was the only one who knew exactly what to do in the capital.
Huo Changqing's face was also solemn, and he said, "What are you going to do?" Qin Zhao must have joined the Song family when he went to the capital. This is very bad for them.
Yun Qing said: "I'm going to write a letter to Mr. Korea, so that we can also know what Qin Zhao is doing in the capital. Once prepared, we won't be caught off guard." During this period of Zhao's oppression, Yun Qing has endured it for the time being.
After a moment of silence, Huo Changqing said, "It's not appropriate. Tell your daughter-in-law about this. She knows how to do it." But if this letter was written by Han, the situation would be different.
Yun Qing hesitated: "I don't want her to get involved in these things."
Huo Changqing thought differently: "Your daughter-in-law is someone who can support things, otherwise I won't let you do this. Besides, husband and wife should share weal and woe and support each other. And as your daughter-in-law's son, if you do everything If you don't tell her to hide it from her, it will make her more worried." I have to say that there is an elder around him who reminds Yun Qing to avoid a lot of detours. (To be continued)
