Chapter 430: Unreasonable Demands
Chen wanted to rent a carriage, so Yang Ruo accompanied Meiling to see the pearl hairpin she fancied.
"Does Meiling like these pearl hairpins, which one do you like, is it good for my sister to give it to you, my sister doesn't seem to have given any gifts to Meiling." Yang Ruo said with a faint smile. When I looked up, I saw all kinds of beautiful and delicate pearl hairpins.
Meiling knew that she and her father had brought a lot to Yang Ruo, but that pearl hairpin was so good-looking, the key was that the spirit magpie that stopped on the pearl hairpin was really like the one she raised when she was a child.
The spirit magpie she raised in the back died for some reason, and she cried for a whole day. It wasn't until Chen wanted to recapture a little chipmunk for her from the outside that she turned her worries into joy. But the spirit magpie that has been with her for a long time has left an indelible impression in her little heart, so she likes it very much when she sees the pearl hairpin at a glance.
Seeing Yang Ruo say this, she couldn't help but twist the handkerchief with her hand and whispered: "
"Sister, am I not ignorant. My father and I are so troublesome to you, I am not satisfied, and I still want the pearl hairpin. However, don't worry, when Daddy comes, I will ask Daddy to return the money to you. ”
Seeing Meiling say this, Yang Ruo's pretty face couldn't help but stiffen. "Meiling, if you say that, my sister will be unhappy, I will treat you as my own family and people as my own sister. My sister bought a bead hairpin for my sister, which is right. ”
"But? ......" Meiling was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Ruo all of a sudden.
Yang Ruo smiled, pinched Meiling's increasingly watery little face, and said, "Silly girl, if you see the outside like this, then you don't call me sister in the future, I bought you this pearl hairpin today, and you have to give me double the money." ”
Seeing that Yang Ruo was really angry, Meiling changed her expression, and pulled Yang Ruo's arm affectionately and said, "Sister, don't be angry, Meiling accepts it." ”
Yang Ruo's complexion, this will turn cloudy. Hurriedly pulled Meiling to see the pearl hairpin she fancied.
Then Meiling stretched out her little hand, pointed to the dozens of flowery hairpins in front of her, picked out one of them and said to Yang Ruo. "Sister is this, do you see if this spirit magpie is real, is it pretty?"
Yang Ruo took a closer look at the bamboo leaf-shaped emerald green pearl hairpin, and saw that the emerald green bamboo leaves seemed to be real, and what was even more surprising was that there was a very beautiful spirit magpie standing on it, leading the singing.
Yang Ruo looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be amazed. Whether it's this bamboo leaf or that spirit magpie, it's all done vividly. If it's not in the style of a pearl hairpin, others will think it's real.
This hairpin is not only very finely made, but also very good in color.
Yang Ruo is not particularly proficient in ancient jewelry, but it can also be seen that although the material of this pearl hairpin is not the most expensive, the workmanship and carving are not said.
And what is even more commendable is that the place where the lively and agile magpie bird stands is indeed a bamboo leaf. How the hell is this done.
This patch, dotted emerald, carving, each step must be done quite carefully. The size of the spirit magpie is not large, but it is carved vividly, even if Yang Ruo, who does not know how to carve, sees it, he can't help but be moved.
And the eyes of the spirit magpie seem to be still moving, when you hold the pearl hairpin in your hand, it seems that you can see the spirit magpie turning its black eyes, tilting its neck and singing.
"Meiling, your vision is really good." After Yang Ruo praised Meiling, he raised his voice and asked the store, "May I ask how much silver is this pearl hairpin, and we bought it?" ”
Yang Ruo and Meiling stayed in this store for a long time, and they talked for a while, but they didn't see anyone come out to greet them. However, she doesn't care, like them, women in ordinary clothes, there are not hundreds or dozens of them on the street, who knows if you have money or not, whether you really want to buy something, or just talk about it.
Until Yang Ruo called again, "Is there anyone?" ”
I heard a slightly cold voice coming over. "This hairpin is not for sale, the girl can choose any pearl hairpin in my store."
This hairpin shop is not big, but the hairpins inside are very beautiful. There are also some bracelets, rings and the like, and you can see that the style here is quite chic.
However, in terms of actual value, it must not be compared with the jewelry in front of it, Jade Shuge and the like, which specialize in selling those precious jewelry of famous ladies.
Yang Ruo only looked at the pearl hairpin in front of him, but he didn't find that in fact, this man was facing away from them, and he was polishing something with his heart in his hands.
His voice frightened Yang Ruo and Meiling who were standing there. Meiling even grimaced at Yang Ruo, pointed at her little hand, and pointed at a man sitting in an inconspicuous corner.
The man was about twenty years old, thin and thin, and wore a moon-white robe that covered his legs.
Because he was sitting with his back to them, the sight of the store was not particularly bright. Therefore, Yang Ruo and Meiling did not find him.
It wasn't until the man suddenly spoke up that the two realized that there was still a person sitting here.
At first, they sat here sneakily and said nothing, and then replied to them coldly, things are not for sale. Yang Ruo suddenly became angry, didn't he deliberately play tricks?
So she immediately said loudly: "Since you are not going to sell it, why are you putting this pearl hairpin here, isn't that misleading others?" Today, my sister finally took a fancy to this pearl hairpin, and you must sell it to me. ”
The man didn't seem to care about Yang Ruo's words, or he had already encountered such a situation many times. His expression is flat, and his speech is not impatient. "If you don't sell it, you don't sell it, and the girl doesn't want to speak ill of each other, you better look at something else."
After the man finished speaking, he took out something from his hand and put it aside, which turned out to be an unformed bead hairpin shelf.
Then he took out a small iron stove, put some charcoal on it, and began to try to light a fire, as if he wanted to light it and melt something. Because there are materials of different thicknesses on the side.
However, he clicked several times, but it didn't click, and then his hand turned on the seat next to him, and the chair he sat down moved.
Seeing that his feet were empty, Meiling couldn't help but be surprised for a while, and actually screamed. But then she knew that she had lost her temper, and covered her mouth with her hand in time.
Yang Ruo couldn't help but walk over, and handed him a very smooth bamboo stick.
Then the young man didn't even look at her or the bamboo stick in her hand. And he pulled off a bell hanging on the wall with his hand.
As soon as there was a crisp sound, a door in the back was opened. A woman about the same age as Yang Ruo walked in.
The woman called out to the boy in a crisp voice, and took out a fire file from her body, and put some thatch in the bamboo basket beside her.
But the thatch was so light that the fire lit up and disappeared with a bang. It did take some time for the charcoal to be lit, and the little woman didn't light it for a long time.
The young man was not in a hurry, but just carefully manipulated the iron frame in his hand. Yang Ruo and Meiling were treated as air.
Seeing this, Meiling felt a little apprehensive in her heart, and always felt that the boy was a little weird. And when she saw the side of his face, his face showed not the healthy complexion of the young man, but a little dark blue. Plus his two trousers are empty. She felt that the atmosphere here was even more eerie.
She then gently tugged at Yang Ruo's sleeve, and her eyes glanced out.
Yang Ruo stood there but didn't mean to leave, but motioned for Meiling to wait. Seeing that Yang Ruo refused to leave, Meiling had no choice but to stand beside her.
The girl fiddled with it for a while, and finally lit the fire, and a few sparks came out of the charcoal, and she didn't want the door to be blown by the wind outside, so she opened it with a "bang", and at once extinguished the fire that had been lit so hard.
"Young master, don't worry, Ju'er will take the charcoal to the backyard and light it, and I'll send it to you again."
"Hmm!" The young man nodded.
The maid named Ju'er was about to take the stove away. Yang Ruo walked up to her and said, "This girl, your fire is not so light, I have a way that allows you to make charcoal burn soon without moving the stove." ”
Seeing that Yang Ruo was slim and elegant, and her speech was also downright and generous, she couldn't help but stand up and glanced at her young master.
Seeing their young master, she didn't even look at Yang Ruo, she couldn't help but snort in her mouth: "You are not the young lady of the Chen family, you are really shameless, my young master ignores you, and you still come to the door." Let's go, before my young master is angry, let's go quickly. ”
As Ju'er spoke, she stretched out her hand and pushed Yang Ruo directly out.
Seeing this, Meiling immediately reached out and grabbed Ju'er's arm, and with a slight twist of her hand, she cut her hand behind her.
"Ju'er must not be rude, they are not."
"A little maidservant, without asking any questions, kicked me and my sister out. That's how you treat your guests. ”
Ju'er's face turned white with pain, and she couldn't help but shout: "Young master, save me!" ”
Yang Ruo also hurriedly said: "Meiling, stop!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the boy sitting there raise a thin silver thread-like thing in his hand and gently throw it in this direction.
Meiling suddenly felt that the position of her wrist was numb, and she had to let go of her hand. And the maidservant Ju'er was also lightly brought to the front of the son by the silk thread that seemed to be nothing.
"Thank you, Childe, for the rescue."
"Get in!"
Na Ju'er glanced at Yang Ruo and Meiling unconvinced, and then said, yes, and walked to the back of the door.
"I don't know the hearts of good people, Meiling, let's go, I don't believe it, I can't find a better pearl hairpin than this." After this unpleasant episode, Yang Ruo also knew that this son was a hard-hearted person, and if they said a few good words to him, he would not change his mind softly.
"Wait, if the girl can show me how to light the charcoal quickly, and cook me another meal, I'll give you this hairpin."
