Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 337 Xu Family Gold Shop
When Xiao Chenyu went out, he met Mrs. Su, who was accompanied by two maids and a woman.

"Mom, where are you going?" Xiao Chenyu was a little curious. Su usually didn't like to go out, but now that it's freezing cold, she wants to go out?
"Oh, I'll go to the embroidery shop and the gold shop to see if there are any newly arrived accessories and fabrics." Mrs. Su, who was about to get on the carriage, stopped and turned to look at Xiao Chenyu behind her.

"Then let me send my mother there!" Xiao Chenyu didn't understand these things about women, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"No need, there are a lot of us here!" She pointed to the people behind her. In addition to the carriage, there was also a guard following. There were indeed quite a few people.

Then he asked: "You just came home. If you don't have a good rest, why do you want to go out again?"

Xiao Chenyu said: "Lu'er Niang asked me to go to Qin's house."

Su Shi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Ms. Liu hasn't been here for a while. Is there something wrong with their family?"

It has to be said that the Su family has become much smarter after being well-informed.

Xiao Chenyu explained with a smile: "It's not that something happened. My sister-in-law said she would come to my house before, but then she never came. I wanted to go and have a look, so as not to worry everyone."

Mrs. Su nodded: "That's right. Mrs. Liu is a good boy. It's good for you to move around more."

After saying that, Su said goodbye to Xiao Chenyu, got on the carriage and left.

Xiao Chenyu stood there and waited for the carriage to go far before he got on his horse and led Xiao Lian towards the Qin family.

Su went to the Xu Family Gold Shop, the largest, oldest and most famous shop in the capital.

It is said that dynasties have changed in this capital, but the Xu Family Gold Shop has always been here. The old people say it is at least two to three hundred years ago. Counting it all together, it existed when this dynasty was founded.

Mrs. Su found it interesting to listen to her mother-in-law's gossip.

The mother-in-law is a native of Jingcheng who was born and raised in Jingcheng. Her family had the bad luck of memorizing characters and ended up working as a servant. Fortunately, following the Su family, she has a good temperament and never punishes people without reason.

Even if the most important hairpin fell off, it only took two days to find it.

The Xu family's gold shop is very large, with three buildings side by side, all three floors. It's very lively with customers coming and going at the door.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a young man waiting outside the door jolted over and bowed to Su who had just gotten off the car.

When Mrs. Su saw that the little boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old and looked pleasant, she felt happy and asked Lvju and Cuizhu to reward him.

Lu Ju took out the five-character copper coin from her purse and gave it to the boy, who laughed even harder.

After putting the money away, he diligently led Su to the house.

"What does this madam want to buy? We have some new goods here. They are all good things. Madam just looks at them and picks them."

The little guy's voice was full of joy, which made people happy when he heard it.

The first floor is filled with ordinary gold, stone, jade and other accessories, while the second floor is more refined and specially prepared for ladies and girls of some status. There is also a separate place to view the goods, but it is separated by a screen and there is no separate room. . The third floor was prepared for the royal family and nobles. Not only was the decoration elegant and luxurious, but the things inside were also very rare and expensive.

Mrs. Su walked around the first floor, mainly looking at the hosta.

The boy introduced her at the side and then observed Su's eyes. What did she seem to be looking for?
So, he asked: "What specific style are you looking for, madam?" Su thought for a while and said: "My mother left me a jade hairpin, a butterfly hairpin carved from jasper. Now I accidentally dropped it. I feel empty in my heart, and I just want to find something that is just the same."

In fact, she didn't have to explain the ins and outs of hairpins to a little boy like this, but Su was really not used to dealing with outsiders. Even as a child, she still felt a little awkward and spoke more subconsciously.

"Madam, can you tell me in detail the specific shape and material of this hairpin?"

Mrs. Su then spoke in a soft voice. This hairpin was the only thing she missed about her mother. She often wiped it and stared at it. Naturally, it was very familiar. Even the pattern carved on the hairpin seemed to be auspicious clouds and characters. Described it once.

The boy listened and led them towards the other jade jewelry counters.

However, there is nothing similar at all.

Su didn't know much about jade, she just felt that these jaspers were not as good as the one she lost.

The little boy was also very enthusiastic. He didn't feel impatient at all. Instead, he comforted Su not to be anxious.

"There isn't one on the first floor, so why not go to the second floor?" the boy suggested.

Mrs. Su followed her up to the second floor, followed by Luju and Cuizhu, and Mrs. Tang followed, but she admired in her heart: This place is not a place where ordinary people dare to come in. I didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to follow her up to the second floor. It's an eye-opener.

Naturally, they still couldn't find it on the second floor. The old shopkeeper on the second floor asked Su to sit down and talk in detail, and Su told her again.

After hearing this, the old shopkeeper lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and said: "I took the paper and drew the shape you mentioned. Madam, see if it is like this? If so, we can choose jade to customize a hairpin. Although It’s definitely different from my wife’s original hairpin, but I think it’s not too far off!”

Su Shi has been suffering from insomnia these past few days, and she always wakes up from dreams when she falls asleep. That's why I thought of choosing a hairpin that was almost the same. I thought it was a comfort. Now after listening to the old shopkeeper's words, I nodded in agreement.

Soon, the old shopkeeper colored the painted hairpin. After drying the ink, he changed the direction of the paper and pushed it in front of Su.

Su Shi took a closer look, and instantly felt as if her heart had been hit by a fine needle, causing numbness and itching pain.

Her eyes were red, she pointed at the hairpin and said tremblingly: "That's it, that's it. I'm sorry to bother you, old man. Please help me make such a unique hairpin!"

The old shopkeeper took the paper and looked at it carefully for a long time.

When Su Shi was confused, the old shopkeeper finally put down the paper, but raised his head and looked at Su Shi.

Mrs. Su was embarrassed by the old shopkeeper, but she was an old man after all, and her face was upright, so she didn't say much. She just turned her face slightly and lowered her eyes.

The old shopkeeper seemed to have noticed his gaffe, and said with a smile: "As I get older, my eyesight gets worse, but this hairpin seems familiar, so I took a closer look. Guests, don't blame the old man for being abrupt!"

Su Shi is a very gentle and soft-tempered person, how can she argue with others? He quickly looked at the old shopkeeper and waved his hand to show that he didn't care about the large amount.

"I'm willing to pay any amount of money as long as you can make another hairpin for me!" Mrs. Su looked at the hairpin on the paper, her eyes turning slightly red again.

The old shopkeeper said: "My wife, leave me your address. If you find a suitable stone, please ask my wife to come and take a look. If the stone is right, it won't be too late to build it! What do you think, madam?"

Since Su didn't understand jade, she could only tell what color it was, and she didn't know anything about its material, so she could only wait for someone to find a similar jade stone, and then ask her to touch it and check it out in person.
