The woman saw that although she seemed drunk, her clothes were still bright, her facial features were clear and handsome, and a few clouds flew over her face, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It has nothing to do with shopkeeper Xu. My family has earned enough money, and I am anxious to go home to take care of the sick." old father."

Tangci muttered for some reason, took out his cuffs and touched his bosom, and threw the official seal that he grabbed at random to the woman: "Sing a song with me before you leave!"

The woman looked at the silver pouch in her left hand, and then at the official seal on her right hand. She couldn't laugh or cry for a while, she knew that she must be very drunk, but she felt that her demeanor was very cute, not a bit of the mess of an ordinary man when he was drunk Unbearable, he walked a few steps closer and put the official seal in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you want to hear, my lord?"

"Wu Ye Cry."

Chapter 19

"Small flaws can be repaired in a few days, and the princess can rest assured." The boss of Zhenbaozhai held the pearls made of thin silver threads in his palm, put them under the candlestick and squinted his eyes After flipping through it, she smiled at Rou Ke who was showing anxiety in front of her eyes.

Rou Ke nodded, and said softly, "Then I will trouble you."

Qiao Qing who was behind hurriedly took out the deposit to pay the boss. After Rou Ke received the receipt, she still stared at the string of pearls on the counter that had accidentally broken through a gap, her steps never moving a bit.

Seeing this, the boss understood, smiled and took out a white glazed bowl from the wooden lattice in the corner, and pointed to the decorations in it: "Look, Princess, this bowl was originally held on the eighth day of April during the Buddha Bathing Festival. It was bought from a stall in Ci'en Temple. Although there is a crack here, the color and texture are very good. You should know that you have put in a lot of effort when firing it. I bought it back and worked day and night to fill in the leaks. A few words were added to the bottom----" He turned the white glazed bowl, and saw that the bottom was really printed with six vermilion seal characters of "Three Years of Chunhua Chengzhi", "Although I am not a black-hearted merchant who is easy to deceive people, I want to come here. It is also easy to confuse the fake with the real."

My young lady still looked worried, Qiao Qing said bluntly: "If you can repair it, fix it right now, don't sell melons to the old lady here and boast!"

After all, Zhenbaozhai is a century-old shop that has been passed down from generation to generation. The boss blushed at Qiaoqing's words, poked the innocent bowl angrily, blew his beard and stared: "Why am I just selling myself? You don't go to the neighborhood either." Let me inquire, when did Zhenbaozhai take over the business beyond our capabilities? If we say it can be repaired, it can be repaired! Even if you put a knife on my neck, my old eyes can't see clearly even if you put a knife on my neck. Wait for a day and a half.' Under the guise of Zhenbaozhai, can you still grow your legs and run away by yourself?"

Qiao Qing is also unreasonable and hot-tempered, ignoring Rou Ke's hinting and admonishing eyes, raised her eyebrows on her hips and said angrily: "I don't know if the guise hanging at the door of your shop has long legs or not, so I don't know! If it weren't for the Zhuangzi shop under the government's administration closing early, and no one would accept the job after going to several jewelry shops, why would you come to your place where you don't want to shit?"

Rou Ke frowned into a "Chuan" character, and softly reprimanded: "Don't make trouble for no reason."

Qiaoqing got angry, and the master's words were blown away, and then shrunk his shoulders and saw that the boss was gloating, and angrily pointed at the string of pearls: "Do you dare to say that you are not boasting? This Do you know where the pearls are produced? Be careful not to scare your guts out!"

The boss was startled, looked at the string of pearls together, and then sneered a few times: "Isn't the utensils and ornaments used by the royal clan just for nothing? Even if these pearls come from the shallows near the coast of Gyeonggi, if the girl insists that they are top-grade tributes from Ryukyu Island, then I will How dare you deny it? Why bother trying to overwhelm others?"

The situation was inexplicably deadlocked, Rou Ke took a step forward and bowed slightly: "It's because I value this thing very much, and I regard it as my life. My girl is anxious when she sees it in her eyes, and she speaks improperly for a while. , Don't get acquainted with her."

The princess, who was beautiful and beautiful, personally apologized, and the anger in the boss's heart dissipated immediately. He hurriedly lowered his knees, waved his hands and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it." He twirled his beard for a while, and continued, "To tell you the truth, I only repaired something exactly like this string of pearls in midsummer last year, so I agreed easily before, and I never wanted this girl to be regarded as a mediocre person who is greedy for money."

Qiao Qing is just a little maidservant in the palace, the boss respects her very much by calling her a girl, although she doesn't know how sincere she is, but she doesn't want to make a mistake, after getting this explanation, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her hands in a pleasing way, Keep silent.

Rou Ke didn't show joy when she heard this, but wondered: "Exactly the same?" She thought for a while, then chuckled again, "Pearls are big or small, and the grades of top, middle and bottom can only be judged by their mellowness." What is the difference between the luster? Boss, you may have misread it at the time? This string of pearls, together with this silver thread, is only three strings in the territory of the Jin Dynasty alone, and there is nothing redundant."

Even if she meant to refute in her words, she tried her best to be humble and soft, and there was a bit of discussion, not arbitrary/resolute, which sounded quite pleasing to the ear.The boss nodded secretly in his heart, thinking of the few gossips he heard in the past about the rough marriage of the princess, he felt a little regretful, bowed and smiled and said: "I've been in charge of this small shop for most of my life, and I don't have anything to do with it." How dare you make a fool of yourself in this capital city of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? They really are exactly the same, not the slightest difference."

"Then...can the boss reveal which dignitary it is?"

The boss's throat moved, and he was about to blurt out following Rou Ke's impatient eyes. He seemed to think of something, pinched his fingers to hold it back, and then smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The rules of the shop cannot be broken. At that time, I promised to keep it secret, but I swore three fingers to my ancestors, so I dare not break it easily!"

Rou Ke calmed down and lingered on him patiently for about a stick of incense, seeing that he still hadn't let go, she finally thanked him and took Qiao Qing to leave.

"A gentleman should be slow in words and quick in deeds, think before he gets angry next time." Rou Ke and Qiao Qing walked on the wide bluestone streets, preaching softly.

Qiao Qing muttered, "A slave is not a gentleman."

Rou Ke stopped, looked at her from the side, and still whispered softly: "Gentle, courteous, courteous and modest, one word can be called a gentleman, there is no difference between men and women."

Qiao Qing grew up in the palace since she was a child. Although she was a high-status domestic slave, she had accumulated virtues for several generations to serve Rou Ke before she had the chance to know a few big characters, but she didn't understand the truth deeply.Normally, she must rely on Rou Ke to teach herself vividly by quoting the scriptures, but today, the string of pearls fell on the ground and broke during dinner, and then she got the specious clue again in Zhenbaozhai. Shen Suo was extremely distressed, so he didn't dare to disturb her mind any more, so he obediently said yes.

After turning a few long streets, you will be not far from Prince Yu's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, a few thick and gloomy dark clouds suddenly rolled across the sky, pressed together in one place, and rain fell with a splash.

It doesn't hurt that my lowly body is exposed to the rain, but how can Rou Ke stand it?

Qiao Qing dragged Rou Ke to hide under the eaves, looking around for restaurants and teahouses where she could take shelter from the rain.

The two drinkers ran past in front of their eyes, kicking and splashing a few strings of water.Qiaoqing has sharp eyes, and he can see where the seal on the wine jar came from in an instant, and then looking a few feet away, the lantern in front of the door fluttering in the wind and rain is faintly shaking "Hui Xian" Lou" three black letters?

"Hey----! Shopkeeper, do you have a brazier?" Qiao Qing entered the store and shouted loudly.

He found another seat sheltered from the wind, wiped the tables, chairs and benches with his dry sleeves, and was about to invite Rou Ke to come over and take a seat, warming up by the fire, not to catch a cold and get sick, but he saw her standing there like a green pine, staring at a certain place .

Qiao Qing looked around, but saw that it wasn't just Rou Ke, the guests and even the staff in the entire Huixian Building were all watching the fun with their chins resting on their chins, and couldn't help but stare dumbly and intently.

"Wu Yecry?" The woman holding the pipa in her arms paused for a moment, and after a while, she began to play the string sadly, "The forest flowers withered in spring, too hastily..."
