A few days after the Xu family arrived in Beijing, Xu Chunjun went shopping with his third sister Xu Chunqiao and fourth sister Xu Chunsu.
There are not many places for girls to go shopping, except for silk and satin shops, ready-to-wear shops, that is, silver shops and gouache shops.
Xu Chunjun took them to Shame Flower Pavilion, a famous rouge shop in the capital. Here there are the latest rouge and gouache, as well as various balms and eyebrow makeup, as well as velvet gauze flowers, fans and sweat towels. These are all gadgets that women like.
.
Xu Chunqiao, like Xu Chunjun, was born as a concubine and had a gentle temperament. No matter where she went, she always followed Xu Chunjun.
Xu Chunsu was different. The Wei family had always spoiled her children, and her three biological children were all a bit domineering.
In addition, she has looked down on Xu Chunjun since she was a child. Now that everyone is praising Xu Chunjun for being close to him, she will only become more disdainful.
He always walks in front of Xu Chunjun. Wherever he goes, he wears a familiar expression, as if he doesn't even notice the prosperity and novelty of the capital city.
"This rouge shop is so big, it has three floors!" Xu Chunqiao exclaimed in a low voice, "I can't even see enough."
In fact, this rouge shop has four floors in total, but the first three floors are open for business, and the fourth floor is closed to the public.
When she saw the prices of these items, she was even more shocked. She gently pulled Xu Chunjun's sleeve and said, "Fifth sister! The things here are too expensive. It's really scary! Let's go!"
Xu Chunjun smiled and whispered to her: "I haven't been here a few times on weekdays, but the things here are really good. Things like rouge powder can be used for a year and a half if you buy them once. They are a little more expensive.
It doesn't matter. Originally, I was going to buy something for you, but I couldn't decide what you like best, so I just asked you to pick it out yourself."
"How can it be done? It will cost a lot of money." Xu Chunqiao shook her head quickly, "I heard that Third Aunt and the others were talking about looking for a house in the capital. It's better to save money!"
"It's not bad even if you want to save money, not to mention it's my own." Xu Chunjun said softly.
"Thank you very much!" Xu Chunqiao was no longer polite. She remembered Xu Chunjun's kindness to her.
"Fourth sister, do you have anything you like?" Xu Chunjun walked over and asked Xu Chunsu, "After you have chosen it, I will buy it for you."
"You are so generous now," the cynicism in Xu Chunsu's tone was very obvious, "You think you have climbed a high tree, don't you? Tell you, stop dreaming! You don't even know what your status is."
Anyone who hears such ugly words will not be able to get off the stage. But Xu Chunjun just smiled: "Fourth sister, I have no other intention, I just want to give you and second sister a gadget each. This is just between us sisters.
Friendship has nothing to do with anything else."
"Come on, just show off, don't be so grandiose. I took the money with me when I went out. I can just buy whatever I want." Xu Chunsu turned away and stopped talking to Xu Chunjun.
When Xu Chunqiao saw her, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
When we turned to the second floor, a group of people happened to come down from the third floor talking and laughing.
Xu Chunjun and Xu Chunqiao were lowering their heads to choose things. They didn't pay attention at first, but unexpectedly one of them recognized her and said like the others: "Look, isn't this the one who is always with the wild girl named Jiang?"
Cui Mingzhu looked at Xu Chunjun condescendingly.
Originally, with Xu Chunjun's temperament, he would not offend others.
But the Qingping Lake incident made Cui Mingzhu feel deeply humiliated, even though the Zong family had come forward and the Jiang family later sent gifts to apologize.
But she just couldn't swallow that breath!
Jiang Nuan doesn't leave the house these days, and Cui Mingzhu can't find anyone if she wants to find her bad luck.
Although Cen Yunchu occasionally goes out, Cui Mingzhu and others are no match for her.
Miss Cen has a sharp tongue and a sharp tongue, and she won't suffer any loss even if she does anything.
In comparison, among the three, Xu Chunjun seems to be the most bully.
"What is the origin of this girl? Have you found out clearly?" Cui Mingzhu asked.
"What's there to ask about? She looks like she's from a humble background," Miss Zhang said, "She seems to be a distant relative of the Chengyi Hou family, the kind of person who can't be beaten with seven poles or stabbed in the eye with eight poles."
"I didn't want to meet her, but she was so unlucky." Cui Mingzhu said with a long sigh of relief.
She was feeling extremely depressed these days. After catching Xu Chunjun today, she naturally wanted to use her as a trick to relieve the depression in her chest. It would also serve as a warning to the other two.
Cui Mingzhu and others went downstairs and came to Xu Chunjun and others.
Xu Chunjun naturally saw them and noticed something was wrong by looking at their expressions.
But if you drag the other two people away at this time, it will only make Cui Mingzhu and others feel that they are timid and weak and easy to bully, and they will probably get worse.
Therefore, Xu Chunjun planned to use silence to stop the situation and use it as a warning.
"Come here, ask the store owner to lock the door." Cui Mingzhu said arrogantly, "I lost my things. I suspect these three bumpkins stole them."
Have Xu Chunqiao and Xu Chunsu ever seen this formation before?
Xu Chunqiao was timid, and she was so frightened that she hid behind Xu Chunjun.
At this time, Xu Chunsu no longer had the same arrogance towards Xu Chunjun. Cui Mingzhu and others were all dazzled by jewels, and they had the power of numbers.
You can't afford to offend him at first sight.
But unlike Xu Chunqiao's simple fear, she had already cursed Xu Chunjun thousands of times in her heart.
They had just arrived in the capital and had no chance to offend anyone. This trouble must have been caused by Xu Chunjun.
How dare this store offend Cui Mingzhu and others, so they hurriedly closed the store.
But there were many other customers in the store at this time. Seeing this, they all gathered around to watch the fun.
"Miss Cui, please show your respect." Xu Chunjun knew that Cui Mingzhu didn't throw anything away at all, she just wanted to embarrass herself.
"Okay, then just hand over the things honestly." Cui Mingzhu sneered, "Save me the trouble of searching."
"We just came to the store, and we haven't met you yet." Xu Chunjun asked, "I'm afraid we may have misunderstood."
"Do I need you to teach me?" Cui Mingzhu didn't want to let her go at all, "I said you stole it, you stole it. If you keep making excuses, do you believe I will beat you?"
"In that case, please report Miss Cui to the official!" Xu Chunjun until today cannot make this matter a big deal.
"Report to the official? Don't worry, I will report to the official. But before that, I will search your bodies." Cui Mingzhu wanted to humiliate them, so she asked her men to search their bodies.
How humiliating it is to be searched in public!
"Although Miss Cui has a noble status, she does not have this right. We are not your domestic slaves, and we have no history of being thieves. You can't search this person." Xu Chunjun firmly refused.
"You are guilty of not letting me search." Cui Mingzhu bit back, "It just means you stole my things!"
