After leaving the office in the afternoon, Sun Shaozong sent Zhang Cheng to carry Sun Jiye back to the house first, but he rode alone to Mingyufang in the west of the city.
In two days, Sun Chengye's son and daughter will arrive in the capital. Sun Shaozong, the 'grandfather', should prepare some greetings anyway.
But yesterday, Sun Shaozong went to the treasury to look around, but he couldn't find any suitable items. When the eldest son, Sun Chengyi, was born, the cheap eldest brother sent all the things in the treasury suitable for children to his nephew.
Right now, he can't always grab something from his son, right
I had no choice but to go outside to find a replacement.
These days, gifts for meeting children are usually gold and silver playthings or jade pendants. After all, Nanbian is a family heirloom of poetry and books, so giving gold and silver directly is a bit tacky.
When it comes to jade, the Mingyufang in the west of the city is naturally the best choice.
From the cheap street stalls for the general public to the top-quality goods that are not inferior to Ouchi's collection, it can be said that as long as you bring enough money, you will never be afraid of not being able to find the desired jade.
When I got to the plaque on the gate of Mingyufang, I saw dozens of hawkers lined up at the entrance. They all used red ropes to lift up the jades to be sold. A few copper bells, when the wind blows, the bells will ring crisply, which is really pleasing to the ear.
Sun Shaozong naturally looked down on the cheap jade articles on these stalls, but some of the knots were very delicate, so he could consider buying them back to make a look for Ruan Rong.
He kicked off the horse in front of the archway, and immediately there was a Baiji [temporary worker] on duty here, who stepped forward and respectfully led the horse to take care of it, and asked Sun Shaozong if he wanted a guide.
This is the advantage of being a local official. There are more than 30 squares in the capital, and you can enjoy leadership treatment wherever you go.
Rejecting the attentive guidance of the white servants, Sun Shaozong entered Mingyufang with his big sleeves fluttering. He first bought a dozen knots from the vendors, and then he wandered all the way to the insider.
I went around four or five stores, but it wasn't that I couldn't find anything I liked, but I couldn't agree on the price. Although Sun Shaozong is also used to spending money, how can the things that are given to children should not be too expensive these days? , otherwise the child will lose life and happiness.
Although Sun Shaozong was an atheist, he still kept aloof from such unfortunate things.
So just keep going.
Seeing that the size of the jade shop in front of him is quite large, there may be suitable things. Sun Shaozong was about to step in, but he was stopped by the guy at the door, and he bowed his body and said politely: "I'm sorry, We have a female customer in our store, I'm afraid it's not convenient to entertain you for the time being."
Not all female customers have the qualifications to let the store clear, especially for such a large store. Obviously, this is the family member of the official.
Sun Shaozong naturally wouldn't arrive low, and the more he was blocked, the more he had to go in and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, so after hearing what the shop assistant said, he was ready to turn around and go to another house to have a look.
"Master Sun!"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly entered Sun Shaozong's ears.
Sun Shaozong looked back, only to see Lin Xiaohong, who had deliberately teased him in the medicinal bath, was looking out in the jade shop.
Could it be Jia Baoyu in the bakery
uh~
To be precise, it should be Jia Baoyu who accompanied the female family members in the house to buy something—I don’t know if it was Lin Daiyu.
Sun Shaozong was hesitating here, whether to call Jia Baoyu out and ask him about his condition in person, and saw Lin Xiaohong turn back and talk to someone in a low voice, then he raised his voice and ordered: "Bring this uncle in. , he is a relative of our confidant, so there is no need to avoid anything."
When the two shop assistants in front of the door heard this, they hurriedly bowed and made a gesture of inviting inside.
Sun Shaozong thought that Jia Baoyu was inside, so he didn't think much about it, and walked in. Who knew that after entering, he would see a little woman standing in front of the dazzling treasures, but she was not Ping'er. Who else could it be
Since Ping'er was here, the slender figure in the compartment was undoubtedly Wang Xifeng—she had probably been playing with jade in it all the time, but it wasn't that she was deliberately avoiding Sun Shaozong.
Except for the two masters and servants, there was only the shopkeeper and an elderly shop assistant in the room, and Jia Baoyu was not seen.
"It turned out to be the second sister-in-law Lian."
Sun Shaozong cupped his hands and said a little curiously: "Isn't this little red brother Bao's maid, why did he come out with his sister-in-law?"
It wasn't Wang Xifeng who replied, but Ping'er, who was standing in front of Duobao Tower, and she heard her say crisply: "Back to the words of Lord Sun, our grandmother looked at her very excited, and it happened that there was no one around to serve recently. Heavenly Treasure Hunter Second Master asked her to come here."
It turned out that Lin Xiaohong couldn't flatter him in front of Sun Shaozong that day, so he found another opportunity to climb Wang Xifeng's high branch.
Today, in order to celebrate Jia Zhen's birthday in Dongfu, Wang Xifeng went out to buy birthday gifts. In addition to the accompanying nurse and the driver, he only brought two maids and two wives, among them Lin Xiaohong—in a sense, This little red can be regarded as one step to the sky.
But in this way, if Jia Yun wants to succeed, I am afraid it will be more difficult.
However, after Ping'er finished explaining, he put his ear to the blue gauze curtain and listened for a while, and then he spoke again: "Since it happened to happen, our grandma wanted to ask, how did my aunt [Yingchun] reply yesterday and said, then Don't have any interest in buying and selling the Sun family? Didn't Master Sun propose it first?"
Taking advantage of the 'gap' between sowing seeds two days ago, Sun Shaozong explained the matter to Jia Yingchun as it is - how can a brother and sister-in-law, who are usually estranged, be compared with a brother in love
Therefore, Yingchun immediately expressed his attitude, saying that everything was subject to Sun Shaozong's orders.
So Sun Shaozong asked her to write a letter to Wang Xifeng, saying that the Sun family was not interested in this business, so Wang Xifeng had another idea.
Naturally, this was hard-to-find, trying to force her to give up some benefits - now that she was anxious to call Sun Shaozong to come in for questioning, she knew that the effect of the letter should not be bad.
After listening to Wang Xifeng's question, Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "My brother is about to be transferred to Shenji Camp recently. You have to make a big promise, but you only earn a small profit, and it is common sense to be uninterested."
Before waiting for Wang Xifeng to respond, he pretended to be generous and said, "Although I proposed this deal, but now and then, since my brother is incapable of being independent, my sister-in-law might as well find someone else to cooperate with."
What he said here is light, but Wang Xifeng almost crushed two rows of silver teeth.
In fact, because Xue Pan recently took Wang Tianguan's daughter and took the post of the General Secretary, Wang Xifeng once wanted to join forces with the Xue family to swallow this piece of fat.
However, when Aunt Xue went back and mentioned the matter to Xue Pan, Xue Pan shook the rattle with a big head as if to say that Sun Shaozong had mentioned this deal earlier, and he couldn't rob Sun Erge no matter how particular he was. 's fortune.
Apart from the Xue family, the Wang family could not participate due to family rules. If the Jia family, Wang Xifeng, was willing to collect money from the public account, would he need to work so hard
So after much deliberation, the Sun family is still the most reliable - there is no way, aside from the name of Rongguofu, there are only a few personal relationships that Wang Xifeng can contact.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong's words fell in her ears, full of ridicule.
If there is no one in the four fields, she is afraid that she would have rushed out to grab a gun and bring a stick earlier, so as to relieve the sullenness that has been accumulating in her heart recently.
But right now...
Ping'er put it on the curtain and listened carefully for a while, and then spoke on her behalf: "But I don't know what Master Sun thinks, how should the two families cooperate to get your brother to nod?"
"Is this..."
Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "The second sister-in-law can manage such a big family business in the house without any leakage. Why do you need to ask me about this small business?"
After speaking, he rushed to the shopkeeper and said to himself: "Your number may have jade pendants for children, preferably more elegant, and the price should not be too high."
Are the tickets really given to others? It has been two days, and the monthly pass has not exceeded 100. . .
