Walking on the streets of Peiping, stroking the soft and soft fur in his arms, Xia Xun suddenly felt a coldness in his hands. He looked down and saw a snowflake falling on the back of his palm, which quickly turned into a moist patch.
Winter has arrived without even realizing it. Xia Xun raised his head and looked at the gray sky. Suddenly something moved in his heart: "This fire fox skin... um, give one to Xiaodi and the other..."
A smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a tomboy who showed a bit of daughter-like tenderness only when he secretly looked at him unexpectedly came to mind. He stopped and said to Ximen Qing: "Brother Gao,
I have three fox skins here, two of which have been found. The third one is for sister-in-law Xiaodong. It’s almost winter. Let’s go out, and you need to bring a decent gift to your sister-in-law.
"
Ximen Qing was startled at first, then waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, this... this is very valuable. Lakshen gave it to you, so why did you turn around and give it to someone else? This is not good, this is not good.
"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Since he gave it to me, it belongs to me. What I want to do with it is not up to me. Why should you and I be so polite? Just take it."
"No, no, no..." Ximen Qing refused repeatedly, but Xia Xun just refused to give in. In the end, Ximen Qing was helpless and couldn't help but said coyly: "This... ahem, I am really ashamed to say that I am a brother. I am among them.
In terms of matchmaking, Lakshen also... ahem... promised me benefits, but now... if I continue to pretend to have nothing to do and accept your heavy gifts, that is really unjustifiable."
Xia Xun was startled, then laughed: "I'm just telling you, that's it. What kind of gifts did Brother Gao receive? Do they include fox skins like this?"
Now that Ximen Qing had recruited him, he no longer concealed it: "That's not true. Tiger whip, bear bile, deer antlers... all of these are available. You also know that I open a pharmacy. I compare these.
interested in……"
Xia Xun said: "Since there is no fox fur, I still have to give this gift. Brother Gao, don't be polite anymore, just take it."
Ximen Qingting took it sheepishly and said politely: "Actually... I think your sister-in-law Xiaodong likes tiger whips more. Ah, by the way, I will give you two when I get back and I will teach you.
What kind of medicinal materials can be used to achieve the best effect? You can go back and drink it to see if it has miraculous effects."
Xia Xun touched his nose and said, "I'm still young, so I don't need this thing?"
"Um……"
Ximen Qing stopped and looked at Xia Xun seriously: "No wonder you are so proud. I see that the bridge of your nose is strong and straight, the wings of your nose are majestic, the tip of your nose is upturned and fleshy, and the wings of your nose are expanded and reddish. You can see that you are strong and strong underneath.
And it’s extremely strong..."
Xia Xunchu still wanted to hear what he had to say, but after hearing it, she rolled her eyes at him angrily: "The tip of my nose is upturned and fleshy, and the wings of my nose are expanded and reddish. I have a cold on these two, okay? You always blow your nose."
When you blow it, you are also upturned and fleshy, and you are also expanded and reddish..."
Ximen Qing was a doctor, and he knew that the folk saying that one can tell whether a nose is majestic by the size of its nose was nonsense, so he deliberately teased him. When he said this, he couldn't help laughing, and the two walked side by side again.
, amidst the dancing snowflakes, the distance between them quietly narrowed a lot.
"Brother Xia, since you have decided to give this leather away, why don't we go find a shop to make it into a fur collar directly, and then stop by to have a look at the fur coat with suitable accessories, take it back and give it to them, so that they can have it immediately
Wearing it can make your daughter's family happy, don't you think?"
Xia Xun stopped: "Just do it in Peking?"
Ximen Qing said: "Yes, the craftsmanship in making fur goods here is better than that in Yanggu and better than Qingzhou. Besides, the accessories for fur clothes here are much cheaper than over there."
Xia Xun laughed and said: "You are indeed a businessman, and you are very careful about everything. Well, let's go back. Didn't we just go to the leather goods store? I saw a lot of furs and leather clothes hanging in that hall, and the craftsmanship was pretty good.
.”
"Hey" Ximen Qing grabbed him and said mysteriously: "That store is still too small. I will take you to the No. 1 Fur Store in Peking. It has the most complete products and the best craftsmanship. The officials, gentry and powerful people in Peking buy furs."
Qiu, we are all going there, walking around." After saying that, he grabbed Xia Xun and rushed to the street, waving to the solicitor: "Come here..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The snow is falling a bit densely, but it's not really dense at all. As we walk on the road, snowflakes fly lightly around us, and it seems that there are only a few of them forever. Only when we look around and cast our gaze into the distance can we feel a sense of confusion. This is
This feeling gives people a sense of tranquility, and even the noise from far and near, and the hawking sounds along the street, seem ethereal.
The ground is covered with a faint layer of white, which is not pleasant enough, but with this snow, I believe that soon we will be able to see the sky and the earth covered in snow.
"Here we are, here it is. Haha, this is the headquarters of Xie's Fur Products. The furs made by the masters here will look just as stylish when you go to Yingtian Mansion. Of course, there is basically no need to wear furs there.
,Ha ha……"
Ximen Qing got out of the car first, followed by Xia Xun. He had just put one foot on the ground, and when he raised his head, a tall building came into his sight. Xia Xun's body suddenly froze.
White Pagoda, that is the White Pagoda at the White Pagoda Temple in Beijing. He... He has been here before, visited here, and stood under this pagoda to take a group photo. What is in front of him is that
The White Pagoda is exactly the same as the White Pagoda.
Xia Xun stood there dreamingly, looking through the misty snowflakes, staring at the white pagoda greedily and nostalgically. Suddenly, a children's song he heard when he was very young rang in his ears: "White Stone Pagoda,
Build the white stone, build the white pagoda, build the white pagoda. Build the white pagoda, the white pagoda will be big and white..."
For a moment, his mind seemed to be taken in by the white tower, and it was carried by the white tower across a thousand years, taking him back to the world where he had lived for twenty years. Unknowingly, his tears became blurred.
His eyes.
After Ximen Qing paid the fare, he turned around and saw Xia Xun staring intently at the White Tower not far away, standing dreamily with tears in his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Xun woke up with a start, shook his head and said: "It's nothing. I suddenly saw the white tower. I was just saddened by the scene. It made Brother Gao laugh. Let's go."
He took another deep look at the white pagoda, turned around and walked towards the magnificent store on the roadside. Ximen Qingna took a straight look at the white pagoda and thought to himself: "I can't tell, this Yang Wenxuan is really
He is a sentimental talented man, just a tower. I looked left and right, up and down, and it turns out that it is just a tower, and she is not a stunning beauty. This can make me sad and shed tears, tut, tut, tut...
"
Ximen Qing shook his head disapprovingly and walked away, but did not notice that a row of vehicles was slowly approaching on the street. Those vehicles were all beautifully built and decorated extremely grandly. Each vehicle was pulled by two strong mules, and there were a lot of servants of both men and women.
They were shouting in front of them and crowding behind them, accompanying the carriages to the left and right. Judging from this style, I am afraid it is not the style of an ordinary person like a prince.
Following in front of a beautifully carved incense car was a little maid in a green blouse, with her hair in a three-piece bun, and she looked extremely sweet. She had a graceful gait and a dignified manner. She walked with a straight eye and a special rule.
Suddenly seeing Ximen Qing, he couldn't help but look surprised. He quickly stepped forward and used the body of a stout servant walking outside to cover himself. It wasn't until he missed Ximen Qing's sight that he breathed a sigh of relief and regained his composure.
The way he behaves is extremely elegant, like that of a wealthy family.
Ximen Qing didn't see her. If he had just seen the little girl's appearance clearly, with his ability to look at beautiful women and not forget her appearance for thirty years, he would have been very surprised to find that the Shaobing Sister has also come to Peking.
, and she also transformed in an instant, from a helpless little girl with yellow hair, to a pretty and neat little girl from a wealthy family wearing a blue robe.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"What do you think? This store is big?"
Ximen Qing was as proud as if this was a store opened by his family: "Look, there is a three-story store. This is the first floor. The store on the first floor alone is bigger than the store we just went to."
Make it three times bigger. Look, there are all kinds of furs everywhere. The higher you go, the more valuable and rare the furs are, and the better the workmanship. The best furs are said to be worth more than a thousand gold. Hey, sometimes there are
The price is unmarketable."
Xia Xun nodded repeatedly. As soon as he entered the store, he immediately saw the difference between this place and other places. The precious fur clothes, well-dressed and well-dressed clerks all showed the taste and status of this place. No one made a loud noise.
There was no noise, only whispers of introductions, and every guest was gentle, even if he was pretending.
Everyone who can come in and out of this place is a person who can spend a lot of money and value both money and status. Who dares to yell in this place and make other people laugh at him? Even if he is not a gentleman, he has to pretend. Just.
Even Ximen Qing, who always talks nonsense when he sees a beautiful woman, can only pay attention to him when he sees a charming lady or noble lady approaching, and then politely avoids it.
The clerks in the store will not follow you eagerly to introduce it to you. They will just stand in the corner and watch you. When a customer stops in front of a certain fur coat and looks at it for a moment, they will be very alert.
Appear in your sight, bow your head docilely, waiting for your inquiry.
At this time, two more cars came in front of the store, two simple yet majestic carriages, and more than a dozen big men in Tsing Yi in front and back. Although the show was not as good as the line of vehicles that had just passed by, it was still that vague
The aura makes people involuntarily want to avoid the roadside.
The curtain of the car in front was raised, and a beautiful woman got out of the car with light steps. Then a little girl in green clothes jumped down from the car's shaft naughtily. The beautiful woman quickly reached out to help her and scolded her for something. Then
