Chapter Twelve: Into the City
Rou Niang has never stepped out of ten miles around Yunjia Village since she was young. This time, she came to Lucheng with Yun Zhao, and she was a rare journey. The prosperity of Lucheng surprised her and was blindly watching. She had never seen so many people. With excitement and fear, she held Yun Zhao's clothes and kept looking at the dazzling array of goods in the surrounding shops.
The street stalls have all kinds of snacks that are attractive. The prosperity of Lucheng has also brought people who are seeking life to this place. Now there are many famous snacks from all over the country.
"Why are there so many people here?" Rou Niang asked in a low voice.
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "There were not so many people last year. Now that there is a venue here, there are more people. Well, maybe there will be more people in the future."
Rou Niang also reads and reads with her father, so she naturally knows what the court does. "My father said that after we get married, we will also come to Lucheng. He said that there will be more opportunities in the city."
"My father-in-law is a scholar, so he has a wide range of knowledge. After we listen to him, we came to Lucheng after getting married. After I made money, we would take my mother and father-in-law to Lucheng and let them enjoy their happiness." Yun Zhao said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Rou Niang nodded, "My father said that in the future, he could open an enlightenment library or be a private student for others. In short, he would not eat your idle meal."
Yun Zhao laughed, "This is what I say, supporting your father is also my duty. You, let your father-in-law be 120 hearts."
As he said, he took out a few big boys from his arms and bought some dried fruits for Rou Niang at a roadside stall. "I heard that these things are all from Tanzhou. They are sweet, you must like them!"
After taking the paper bag wrapped in dried fruit, Rou Niang looked at Yun Zhao sweetly, picked up a dried fruit, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, and glanced at Yun Zhao who was tall and strong. Although she was a man, her heart was so delicate.
"Rou Niang, Qianyang is Fengxiang Silver House, which is a time-honored brand in Lucheng. Let's go there to make you a set of jewelry." Yun Zhao pointed to the silver house in front and said to Rou Niang.
"Okay!" Rou Niang said gentlely: "I will listen to you."
After tying the green mule outside the store, Yun Zhao led Rou Niang into the door, and a friend came up, "Oh, the old customer is here. Are you here to check it out today, or buy something? The store has just made a few new styles. Should the old customer take a look?"
Rou Niang held Yun Zhao's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Yun, why do you call you an old guest? Do you often come?"
Yun Zhao laughed softly: "They just greet people like this, and they should not recognize you or not. Doesn't this seem enthusiastic? Look at me, I am so poor that I am a person who often comes to visit Silver House?"
"Oh, that's how it is!" Rou Niang felt relieved.
"I want to make some clothes." Yun Zhao said to the guy.
"Okay, this store is a time-honored brand in Lucheng, with the best master in Lucheng. Do old customers bring their own money? Or do we need our Lao Fengxiang to provide it. Our silver house is full of the best thousand-full silver."
"Bring it yourself, bring it yourself!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.
The guy smiled and led Yun Zhao to the counter on the side, where an old man in long garments stood, obviously the shopkeeper.
Yun Zhao took out the twenty taels of silver that my mother had saved through hardships from her arms and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I want to customize a set of jewelry."
Seeing the quality of the silver, the shopkeeper said, "Old Guy, the quality of this silver is not good, and it is probably not very good to make it. Over time, it will change color. Our Lao Fengxiang has never done this, which is detrimental to our reputation as a time-honored brand! Should Old Guy change some silver with good quality? Although it costs more, it is more beautiful and more affordable!"
After glanced at the bag of loose silver wrapped in it, Yun Zhao said to Rou Niang: "Rou Niang, go and see the style of jewelry here, see if you like it, write it down."
"Oh!" Rou Niang followed the guy to choose a look. When she glanced at Rou Niang, Yun Zhao took out a piece of gold bar from his arms. He cut one-third of the gold bar he was hiding, and was about to use him to exchange for silver for Rou Niang to make a good set.
"Shopkeeper, look at how much silver can this little gold be exchanged for. It's the best thousand-full silver in your building!"
The shopkeeper took the gold, put it on the scale and weighed it, and smiled and said, "This gold is of good quality and can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver. What should I do when the old customer is going to do it?"
"Rou Niang, Rou Niang! Have you chosen it?" Yun Zhao shouted.
Rou Niang came over and looked at her for a while. She actually chose a hairpin, which was the most ordinary type.
"How can this work? The shopkeeper, we don't know much. Look, she wears it. What do you want?"
"The hairpin girl has already chosen it. I think she will wear a pair of earrings, a pair of twisted silk silver bracelets, and a pair of rings. By the way, the two are newlyweds, so I will use a pair of Baijia Locks to prepare for my future son!" said the shopkeeper with a smile.
Rou Niang's face turned red and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, don't want so much, Brother Yun, how can we have so much money?"
Yun Zhao waved his hand magnanimously, "We are not short of money, I have saved it for you. The shopkeeper, that's what I do!"
"Okay!" The shopkeeper was also very happy. Although Lucheng is prosperous now, there are not many customers like Yun Zhao. He quickly issued a small receipt, "Do you wait here? Let's go and take a look first. Although there are many masters in our store, it will take a short time to start. Old customers know that our old Fengxiang is the most meticulous and meticulous."
"We still have something to buy, so we'll go for a while first and get it later!" Yun Zhao said.
I went out with Rou Niang, "Rou Niang, I said that I would like to pull a few pieces of materials for you to make new clothes. Let's go, you can pick them. Now Lucheng is no better than before, and there are so many things that make you dazzling."
Rou Niang hesitated and said, "Brother Yun, you have spent so much money. Forget it. My father asked my third aunt to make my wedding dress, so I won't spend money indiscriminately and I have to live a life!"
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Don't be afraid or not, Rou Niang, as long as I am here, are you still afraid of not making money? From now on, you can spend your energy and I will make a lot of money."
Rou Niang smiled and said, "I don't want it. Why do you need that money? The most important thing is to be healthy. Although you are poorer, you are happy. Brother Yun, you took the risk to beat such a fierce leopard this time. Dad later told me that when I saw those leopard skins were covered in cold sweat, I won't allow you to take risks again in the future."
"I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll go and get some rabbits and chickens, okay?"
"That's about the same."
The two walked through the bustling crowd, saying some small words while walking towards the silk shop in front.
"Stop the man in front!" A shout suddenly came from behind, "Stop the man with an iron bow on his back!" He spoke rudely, but he was not very fluent. Yun Zhao's heart moved. When he turned around, he saw several men dressed in a mischievous manner strode towards him.
