into the bosom

Chapter 60
"Little lady, this is the first time to come to our Rongbaozhai, right? Don't worry, the things in our Rongbaozhai are the first ones in Feng'an City, and I will never disappoint my little lady!"

For ordinary little ladies to paint, it is naturally enough.But for Xu Jiao, these are far from enough.

"The shopkeeper, do you have more corrected blue and red?" When reading the article, the author didn't mention calligraphy and painting, but since it is an overhead Sui and Tang Dynasties, it should be the same in this regard.

"What does the little lady mean?"

"Ultramarine blue, or cinnabar!" Xu Jiao sonorously said.

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "Young lady, you are just joking, that is, our boss was entrusted by a friend to help find some of these paints in the store earlier, and sold the excess. We are the only ones in the entire Feng'an city." Rongbaozhai has some, the only one! I'm afraid they will be gone after they are sold out, not to mention the two things that the little lady said, there is nowhere to buy them with silver."

Xu Jiao naturally knew that there were shops that actually sold paints in the late Ming Dynasty.It was a surprise to be able to find a Rongbao Zhai now, I really shouldn't expect more, but I still can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Xu Jiao lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in them.

"Little lady, we don't have ultramarine blue and cinnabar here, so... do you want these?" The shopkeeper knows how to do business, and he still greets people with a smile at this moment.

"Yes, of course!"

Before Xu Jiao responded, he heard a clear and elegant voice with a slight smile from behind several Duobao Pavilions. Xu Jiao turned his eyes and saw a man in a bamboo green Taoist robe, holding a square in his hand. Young Master Pianpian who folded the fan came out with a smile.

Using a folding fan, he tapped the few paints that the shopkeeper put on the counter and said, "Wrap up these paints for me, and I will charge the account to my account, as if I gave it to my second sister." Jiao said.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly said to Xu Jiao, "It turns out that it is the second lady of the Jing family. The young one really has eyes that don't know Mount Tai. Disrespect and disrespect."

Xu Jiao bent his knees towards Mr. Jinyi, opened his mouth and called, "Brother..." He hesitated after calling, "uh" and called again, "Big cousin!"

The visitor's eyes flashed, he was surprised, but he didn't dare to believe it, "How did the second sister recognize me? Many people said that Ruishen and I look alike, and even have a similar voice. The second sister is only the second sister today. The second time you see me, how can you recognize me at a glance? It's really strange!"

Xu Jiao had a shy smile on his face, with a well-behaved look, "It is said that blood is thicker than water, maybe it is because of this!"

But in his heart he slandered, today is not a holiday, Jing Qin has an official position, so naturally he "works" at the Imperial College, so how can he just wander around with nothing to do like you?
Moreover, those who don't recognize you are either blind or coaxing you into being a fool.Even with the same face and the same voice, the difference can be seen at a glance, right?One is really elegant and the other is fake elegance.

"That's it!" Jing Duo tapped his head lightly with a fan, as if he was thinking about it, and after a while, he suddenly smiled at Xu Jiao, "Second Sister is right!"

Xu Jiao twitched the corners of his mouth, as long as you are happy!
"I just saw that the second younger sister is familiar with paints. It seems that she must be an expert in calligraphy and painting?" Jing Duo looked at Xu Jiao curiously.

"It's not an expert, it's just a little superficial knowledge." Xu Jiao said modestly.

"Second sister is self-effacing! It seems that grandfather is worrying too much. Second sister probably won't need my help from Ruishen. I wonder if I might be lucky enough to see the second sister's painting?" Jing Duo stared at Xu Jiao with shining eyes. with.

Xu Jiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile, "Brother, you can't use these words to evade, and you won't help me, but I will complain to my grandfather."

Jing Duo didn't seem to expect it, and pointed his fan at her, but he didn't say anything for a while.

At this time, the shopkeeper had wrapped up the paint and delivered it.

Xu Jiao motioned for Banlan to take it, then smiled and knelt down at Jing Duo, "Thank you, big cousin!" Then, he turned and walked out.

She went out for a while, but Rong Baozhai behind him suddenly burst into laughter.Bright and happy, it is Jing Duo.

Xu Jiao's footsteps paused slightly, his brows raised lightly, and he hummed before taking another step.

The Lucky Pawn Shop at the end of Zhenghua Street has also been open for 30 to [-] years, and its business has never been salty or weak.Today is another deserted day, and I did two small business orders in the morning.

Seeing that the sun was setting to the west, fearing that there would be no more business coming to the door, the shopkeeper ordered the staff to prepare to remove the door panel and closed the door.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure stepped into the store.

"Guest officer..." The shopkeeper turned his head when he heard the footsteps, but the smile on his face disappeared suddenly when he saw that the person who came in was a little beggar, and then his expression changed, and he drove the person out in disgust, " Go, go, go! Why do you come to my place to join in the fun? I don’t have food and alms for you here, go elsewhere!”

As he spoke, he signaled the buddy to drive away.

But the little beggar hurriedly took out the things in his arms and said, "How dare you drive me out? I am here to pawn things. You can tell me, this is made of high-quality silk from the sky. How much money do you have?" I can't buy it either. Just this square of handkerchief is worth thousands of gold, you guys kicked me out, don't regret it!"

"What silk veil? You little stinky beggar, what kind of treasure can you get? Get out quickly, before I get angry, or I will serve you with a broom!" the guy said impatiently, Stretching his arms, he pushed the little beggar out of the house.

"Don't you guys know that you are ignorant, that silkworms spit fire, and you haven't heard of a thousand pieces of gold?" The little beggar raised his voice as he saw that he was about to be pushed out of the door.

"Wait!" The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and under the suspicious eyes of the little beggar and the waiter, he seemed to change his face. He smiled and said softly to the little beggar, "Show me your square handkerchief, If it's a baby, I'll take it."

A quarter of an hour later, the little beggar came out of the auspicious pawn shop dazedly holding a silver ingot of 20 taels. laughed.Unexpectedly, what the lady said was true, her silk handkerchief could be pawned for a good price at the auspicious pawn shop!

The Jixiang pawn shop had already closed, and the shopkeeper hurried into the backyard with the square silk handkerchief.

As soon as the thing was handed over, it was snatched away by someone.A couplet of poems was written in ink on Supa—Lingfeng knows the strength of the festival, and the snow shows the chastity.

The hand holding that Supa trembled uncontrollably, the owner of the hand was both joyful and apprehensive, a crack appeared on his usual icy face, he suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Where did this come from? "

"It was sent by a little beggar just now, saying that a noble lady gave it to him, and told him to go to the lucky pawnshop to get the silver. He also asked him to recite the phrase 'a silkworm breathes fire, and a thread of gold'. It is time to send someone to investigate, and there should be news in a while."
