Chapter 165: Cao Mingzhu

With the advice, it was a big county again. Su Liu quickly received two donkey skins for less than three taels of silver. He also heard from the donkey skin seller that winter was coming. The donkey skin seller

The supply of meat will gradually increase, and she has made an agreement with the donkey skin seller that if there are donkey skins in the future, she will charge as much as she wants, and the price is very considerable.

When he came to the county, he received two donkey skins. Su Liu was very happy and sent someone back to the inn, while he and Ning Guang strolled around slowly.

Changping County is a large county with a population of more than 100,000. It is also the central axis of Gyeongju. There are many merchants coming and going. That is how the Cao family's water transportation started. There are many ships. With more merchants, the economy will naturally be prosperous. Local tyrants and gentry,

That’s more.

Unlike Baise Town, where no one walks around in the afternoon, Changping County is a big county after all, and there are many squires. Even though it is almost the end of the Shen Dynasty, there are still many young ladies and gentlemen wearing silks and satins walking around.

Ning Guang is actually not bad looking, with a tall figure and clear facial features. Although he has a cold face, he has attracted the eyebrows of many girls along the way, which made Su Liu feel sour.

I glared at the person next to me, but saw that he was looking at me intently, as if he hadn't noticed. I couldn't help but feel funny in my heart, and I was jealous for no reason.

"Go in and take a look?" Ning Guang suddenly stopped.

Su Liu looked up and saw that the door of Bazhentang was wide open, but it was a jewelry shop.

It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and Su Liu is no exception. But when she came here, she was short of money and busy with work, so Su Liu didn't have any special preference for jewelry. Su Xiao, on the other hand, particularly liked to dress up.

"Okay, that little girl asked me to buy her some nice jewelry." Su Liu walked in with a smile.

At this point, there were not many people in Bazhentang, only two of them. The waiter was dealing with it, with a look on his face that seemed a little impatient. Maybe he had been looking at it for a long time without making a choice.

When he saw Su and Liu coming in, he raised a smile, but after carefully looking at their clothes, his smile faded and he said, "What do you two want to buy?"

"Let me take a look first." Su Liu smiled faintly and looked around.

The shop is very large, with all kinds of pearls and jade jewelry that are dazzling and dazzling. In addition to jewelry, they also sell some gadgets for girls' boudoir decoration, such as pearls and jade inlaid mirrors.

Su Liu slowly turned around, while Ning Guang stood aside with his hands on his chest, like a door god.

Su Liu saw a pair of rabbit-shaped jade pendants. Thinking of Su Xiao's out-of-the-box temperament, he said, "Brother, please show me these pair of earrings."

After hearing this, the clerk came over hurriedly, took out the pair of pendants from the cabinet, and said with a smile: "Girl, you have good taste. This pendant just arrived. Look at the carving, it's lifelike. It's not expensive, it only costs eight dollars."

Two pieces of silver."

Su Liu was slightly shocked. The material used for these earrings was just ordinary jade, and it didn't look particularly translucent. It was so expensive. Sure enough, in the city, every inch of land was precious.

It's not like Su Liu didn't have eight taels of silver. Although she liked it in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. She just put it down with a smile and looked at other things.

When the guy saw it, he said, "If the girl really likes her, the price can be negotiated."

"I'll take another look." Su Liu said lightly.

After hearing this, the waiter looked a little unhappy and muttered. At this moment, the two women who were watching in the store called him over.

"This girl, aunt, you have been looking at this for half an hour. This price really cannot be lower. Our Bazhentang is not a stall set up by that hawker. How can we have the price you said? This price

You get what you pay for, if you don't like it, you can probably buy it at the East Street market tomorrow, but the water quality will definitely not be good."

Su Liu looked over and saw that the girl was sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing coarse clothes and had dark skin. She seemed embarrassed and hesitant. In front of her was a silver hairpin. Maybe because of the waiter's words, she was so embarrassed that she pinched the corner of her clothes and bit her lip.

Next to her, there was a middle-aged woman, also wearing patchwork clothes.

"Brother, please give it less. My daughter will get married, and I just want to give her a decent dowry." The woman begged softly.

"Is one tael of silver still too expensive? Let's go. If you don't want to buy it, forget it. I have other customers."

"Mom, forget it, I don't want it anymore. Let's keep it to buy meat for dad and my little brother." The girl gritted her teeth and reluctantly handed the silver hairpin back.

"What bad luck." The waiter took the curse and said, "You dare to enter Bazhen Hall without money, you are a poor man."

The mother and daughter froze and walked out with red faces.

Su Liu looked at it and shook his head, suddenly losing interest: "Brother Ning, let's go, I won't buy anything."

Ning Guang was stunned for a moment, but he followed her out without asking anything.

At the door, the mother and daughter were talking about something unknown. The girl just covered her face and cried, while the mother looked sad. She gritted her teeth and wanted to rush into the store. The girl held her tightly and shook her head.

"What?" Ning Guang was a little confused.

"The service attitude of this Bazhentang is so bad. No matter how beautiful the jewelry is, I don't want to buy it. Just wait and see, this store will definitely not be able to open." Su Liu snorted, maybe she just couldn't see it.

Get used to the way that guy looks down on others.

Ning Guang frowned, looked back, and said, "Then go to another house."

"Girl, please stay."

The two were about to leave when someone suddenly stopped them. Su Liu turned around, but at some point, a sedan stopped beside him and a pretty maid stood beside the sedan.

"You called me?" Su Liu pointed at himself.

The maid gave her a generous gift and said, "Girl, my young lady is here to invite you."

Su Liu and Ning Guang looked at each other, and saw the maid opened the curtain of the sedan, stretched out her hand, and placed a slender hand like white jade on her hand. Then, a woman walked out of the sedan.

At first glance at the girl, Su Liu hissed, "Hey, darling, what does it mean to be charming, this woman is it."

She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an oval face, a bun with a bun that exposed her temples, lightly swept brows and spring-like eyes, her skin was as smooth as warm jade, and her small mouth was as red as a peach, and she was as pretty as a drop.

The two strands of hair beside her cheeks were gently blowing in the wind, adding a bit of seductive charm, and her flexibly moving eyes were watery, revealing intelligence and agility. She wore a light green dress with light blue embroidery on the cuffs.

Colorful peonies, silver threads outline a few auspicious clouds, and a row of blue sea water clouds is densely packed at the hem. A wide piece of light yellow brocade wraps the chest in front of the chest. The body gently turns and the long skirt spreads out, and the hands and feet are blown by the wind.

As graceful as a willow, she carries a family of beauties.

Standing in front of her, Su Liu suddenly felt ashamed of herself. This was really so beautiful, like a piece of beautiful jade, she just wanted to treasure it.

Not only did she feel this way, even the mother and daughter looked at her with envy.

The woman held the maid's hand and walked forward. When she saw Ning Guang, she was stunned for a moment, but she smiled generously. Then she looked at Su Liu, gave her a slight blessing, and asked, "I don't know why the girl said this."

The store can’t open? Is it because the jewelry is too poor?”

Su Liu was slightly startled and smiled: "Jewelry is naturally good, but the bad thing is the attitude of the waiters. When opening a shop, the most taboo thing is to look down on others. If you are well-dressed, you will smile and wag your head. But if you are poorly dressed, you will be embarrassed.

Those who are shy will say nasty things to each other. How many people can like this kind of shop? Even if I have money, I don’t want to spend it here. There are more than just this shop. What customers spend money on is the service.

It's so comfortable." She pointed to the mother and daughter again and said, "Take that mother and daughter as an example. If they can't afford it now, they may not be able to afford it in the future. But now this shop has offended them. In the future they will have

Now that you have enough money, will you come to this store again to buy jewelry?”

Seeing the thoughtful look on the woman's face, she yelled again: "It would be too short-sighted to judge whether a person has money based on superficial skills. In business, what is important is to be honest. In a word, customers are the

God."

"God?"

Well, Su Liu coughed and said: "In other words, customers are everything, they are the parents of food and clothing."

"Girl is so young, she talks so interestingly." The woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

Su Liu smiled faintly and wanted to leave, but at this moment, the shopkeeper and the clerk ran out and saluted the beauty respectfully: "Miss."

The woman had already suppressed her smile, her eyes fell on the flattering waiter, and she sneered: "I wonder why the business in the shop has dropped so much. It turns out that there are people like you here. Shopkeeper Yan, you can't see people like this."

This lowly man is of no use to me, Bazhentang, so just settle his wages and let him go."

The waiter was startled and fell to his knees in a hurry, crying out for mercy. But the shopkeeper just laughed with him and gave him a fierce look.

The beauty ignored him, glanced at the mother and daughter standing in the corner, and said with a smile: "I wonder what jewelry you chose? Shopkeeper Yan, took it out and gave it to them as an apology, and it will be credited to my account." Then she said to her.

Su Liu said: "Girl, if this is the case, are you still willing to patronize our store again?"

The mother and daughter got a silver hairpin without spending a penny. They were so happy that they knelt on the ground and thanked them again and again.

Su Liu was also stunned, smiled, walked into the shop again, chose the earrings he originally liked, and picked two silver hairpins and one with gold wire twisted around branches and tassels. The shopkeeper gave

I got the cheapest price, but the woman never showed up again.

In the evening, Su Liu, Ning Guang, Song Xiao and others went to the Cao family arena to watch the excitement. The arena was very high and was already crowded with people. The Cao family leader was talking politely, and then invited out the Cao family lady.

.

With everyone looking forward to it, Miss Cao Pingting walked out, lifted the veil from her face, and gave a generous blessing to the audience.

Seeing the stunning look of the woman on the stage, Su Liu exclaimed: "She is Cao Mingzhu?"
