Linglongfang is the favorite place for the rich young men and wives of the capital.
The alleys are not long. If you walk from east to west, just walk but don’t go shopping, a cup of tea is enough. But most people come here just to shop for shops, because the shops on both sides of Linglongfang gather the most famous shops in the capital, such as jewelry, silk and satin, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even flowers, birds, insects and fish. Anything that rich people like, there are almost everything here, and they are envied by ordinary people to call it the "gold cave".
Because those who come to Linglongfang are either rich or noble, the wealthy businessmen in the alleys paid money to raise a team of guards patrolling the streets. First, beggars are forbidden from entering, and then thieves rob money or shops are escaping water, the guards will arrive as soon as possible, striving to make the nobles come happily and then return with a full load with satisfaction.
The three carriages of the Lu family slowly came to the outside of the yard. They got off here, and the coachman pulled the carriage to the wide ground next to them.
"Get out." The car stopped, and Lu Zhan said to his wife next to him.
Zhu was a little embarrassed, grabbed her husband's arm and whispered, "Why don't I wait here, you take the children to go shopping." The son took his daughter-in-law out, which means that the couple had a good relationship, and outsiders could only praise her, but she and her husband were old, and her husband actually asked her to come out together, swaggering, and Zhu was particularly embarrassed.
Lu Zhan always only cares about his own happiness when doing things, doesn't care what others think, ignores his wife, gets off the car, then turns around and stands in front of the car, stretches out his hand at his wife, staring at his timid wife in the car with tiger eyes, the meaning is self-evident.
Zhu actually wanted to go shopping, but he was a little crazy. Now that her husband used his actions to repel the hesitation in her heart, Zhu gritted his teeth and bent down to poke out of the carriage. Lu Zhan wanted to support his wife's hand. Zhu quickly glanced outside and saw someone looking at this side, secretly pushing away the big hand.
Lu Zhan frowned and immediately grabbed it again.
Lu Mingyu and Lu Huaiyu sisters led Heng Ge'er, and Chong Ge'er came over from behind. Seeing the grandfather and grandmother holding hands together, Lu Huaiyu leaned into his sister's ear and laughed quietly, "Grandfather is so nice to grandmother." The mother always despised her grandmother's background in front of her. When she was a child, Lu Huaiyu also disliked her step-grandmother a little, but Zhu was kind to her and was so beautiful. Lu Huaiyu really couldn't hate her, so she gradually respected her as her grandmother.
Lu Mingyu looked at her grandmother hiding behind her grandfather like a cover-up, and smiled unexpectedly. Her grandfather seemed cold and turned out to be so good at coaxing people.
"Grandfather, I want to buy a big knife!" Heng Ge'er thought that his sisters were walking slowly, so he ran to his grandfather and reminded his grandfather again what he wanted to buy.
Lu Zhan was born as a military general, and his grandson Xiwu was very pleased and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, don't worry, let's go shopping together, let's tell your grandfather what you like, and you will buy it for you." The third carriage is specially used to hold things. It's almost the end of the New Year, and Lu Zhan will go shopping once a year, so he naturally has to be generous. Unfortunately, his daughter and eldest granddaughter have been married, and the third granddaughter is at home to honor her sick aunt, but he can't come with him.
"I'll buy candied haws for my younger brother." Brother Heng looked around, but didn't see the candied haws. He was a little worried. The younger brother was too young and his mother didn't let his younger brother go out. He agreed to ask him for candied haws.
"Buy everything and buy it." Lu Zhan was even more satisfied with his brotherhood and rubbed his grandson's head.
Next, he took Heng Ge'er and Chong Ge'er in front. Zhu led two granddaughters, followed the maid and nanny, and the group walked around in a leisurely manner. But Lu Zhan was a big man after all. When Zhu's mother and mother picked up silk and satin and jewelry, Heng Ge'er and Chong Ge'er felt boring, and he was a little patient. After thinking about it, he said to Zhu: "You three are walking around slowly, I'll take them to buy something else. After you finish shopping, you will go to Yipinzhai to find us."
Yipinzhai is a famous restaurant in Linglongfang. Lu Zhan plans to go home after lunch here.
Zhu pulled a piece of high-quality Shu embroidery material in his hand, and gestured to Lu Mingyu while perfunctorily saying, "Okay, okay, you guys go." He didn't want to get off the car just now, but now his husband has long disappeared in his eyes.
Lu Zhan took a deep look at his wife's back, and left with his two boys with a tense face.
Lu Mingyu saw it clearly and complained to his grandmother in a low voice, "Grandmother, grandfather is leaving, you don't even look at him, grandfather seems a little unhappy."
"Let him go." Zhu didn't take this seriously at all and turned around to ask Lu Huaiyu, "Huaiyu said, is your fourth sister good-looking in this?"
Lu Huaiyu has finished picking it, Xiao Yingying stood beside him and commented.
Before going out, her husband gave her a stack of silver notes. Zhu had money in his hands and bought whatever he liked. He did not forget the three girls who stayed at home. After buying clothes and jewelry, they bought rouge and powder. They rarely went out. Today, they walked so many ways, but they didn't feel tired. After buying, they asked the servant to send it to the carriage first.
Lu Mingyu was still thinking about giving Chu Xing the gift. When he came out of the spice shop, he saw a wooden carving shop diagonally opposite. Lu Mingyu suddenly became interested and held his grandmother's arm and suggested, "Grandma, let's go over there and have a look? I want to buy a small item for Brother Nian, and he likes these the most."
Zhu agreed to his granddaughter's request, and the three of them went there again.
This wood carving shop is divided into two floors. The second floor is large and expensive, such as screens, tables and chairs. The first floor is filled with small things, such as pen washing, wooden boxes, combs, and wear pieces, which are arranged in a row of cabinets in different categories. When she entered the door, Zhu saw a row of wooden Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. She believed this and wanted to go and see it. Lu Huaiyu fell in love with the things used on the dressing table and went to the left. Lu Mingyu led the longan to the right, because she was just outside and saw a wooden carving brush washing.
Send Chu Xing a pen to wash?
Stopped before a row of brushes, Lu Mingyu thought silently, and the brushes were elegant and had no meaning to attract reverie...
No, the brush washing is very practical. If Chu Xing really uses it, wouldn’t he see the gift she gave every day? When he sees it, he will easily miss people... Lu Mingyu believes that Chu Xing will not miss her, but she feels guilty. She must give this gift carefully and cautiously. She picked a pair of rosewood and kept it for Heng Ge'er. Chong Ge'er, and handed it to the client to put it away first. Lu Mingyu walked aside while looking.
"Girl, buy a zodiac sign, use it yourself or give it to the juniors, it's all right." When I came to a row of zodiac wood carvings, the guy said attentively.
Lu Mingyu stopped.
There are several rows of wood carvings on the cabinet here, including the wears on the body, and the decorations for enjoyment on the table. Lu Mingyu has a younger brother and a cousin. Looking at these vividly carved zodiac signs, she smiled and carefully selected three dog-patterned clothing of different shapes, and then picked two calfs, one for the New Year and the other for the cousin Fujie.
"Girl, pick one for yourself." Longyuan picked a horse carving pendant from the row of shelves above and handed it to Lu Mingyu to see. The girl is old and is not suitable for wearing that kind of child's thing. Buying a horse carving on the desk is also pleasing to the eye.
Lu Mingyu raised his head and saw the horse eagle in Longyuan's hand. He fell in love with it at first sight. The horse was only the size of a fist, with four hooves falling on the ground, stepping on the cloud-shaped tray, and its chubby body was like a newly born foal, cute and cute, with black eyes made of black jade, black and bright and energetic.
There was a thin lacquered gold-copper chain on the horse's back, which was similar to the wood carving color. Lu Mingyu pinched the copper chain, and the fat little foal swayed slowly under her hands, and a soft halo flowed through the golden-like horse's body.
The guy would look at her face and see that she liked it, and went up to introduce: "Girl, this is carved from camphor wood, hung in a wardrobe and box to deworm and prevent mold."
Hang in the closet?
Lu Mingyu's eyes lit up. What else is more suitable than this gift? First of all, this horse looks so childish, which is in line with her niece's identity. Moreover, things are hung in corners of the closet. Chu Xing has a maid and servant to change clothes. He will never see this gift in his life. It is more likely that Chu Xing will put away this childlike gift and throw it into the warehouse, and there will be no more light.
"That……"
Just as he was about to ask the guy to put away the horse-carved pendant, four figures suddenly came over at the door of the shop slanted in front. Two little girls with pink makeup were walking in front, followed by a pair of big men with a somewhat similar appearance. The man on the left was wearing a gray robe with a cold expression. The man on the right was only as tall as his ears, wearing a jade robe with a bright smile on his face, and his phoenix eyes turned around casually. He met Lu Mingyu's gaze. The man smiled and his eyes quickly settled on Lu Mingyu's face.
Lu Mingyu was also stunned. He didn't expect to meet Chu Sui when he returned to the capital.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Chu Sui is twenty after the New Year. At this time, Chu Sui's face no longer had the youthfulness on his face. His face was as calm as a jade, and his demeanor and graceful as a famous handsome man in the capital. He was the most talked about by the nobles when the ladies in the capital gathered together. He was the most unlimited Tanhualang.
He is also the candidate for the husband Lu Mingyu liked in his previous life.
But at that time she only saw Chu Sui's gentlemanly side, and now everything is different. If she had just broken through the affair between Chu Sui and Dong Yue'er, she was in a depressed mood and chewing wax, then today three years later, seeing Chu Sui again, although his charm is still the same, Lu Mingyu's heart was only unexpected. After the accident, she felt calm.
On the contrary, Chu Xing next to Chu Sui, the man she had just chosen for her gift, made Lu Mingyu feel nervous.
Without caring about the ceremony, Lu Mingyu handed the wood carving to the clerk first and whispered: "I have bought all these things and packed them all."
The guy smiled and bowed, hugged a few wood carvings and went to the counter.
Lu Mingyu then turned to the two pairs of Chu brothers and sisters who had already stepped into the door. When she saw Chu Xiang, Chu Ying stared at her but didn't dare to recognize her. Lu Mingyu walked over generously and smiled at the two little girls, "I haven't seen you for three years, Yingying, don't Xiangxiang know me anymore?" She only disliked Chu Sui, and the others in the Chu family had not deceived her.
Chu Ying is one year older than Chu Xiang, remembers it a little deeper, and asks with a blushing face: "You, are you sister A Nuan?"
Lu Mingyu nodded with a smile and gave the Chu sisters time to look at her again. Lu Mingyu raised her eyes and smiled obediently with Chu Xing, "Cousin's uncle."
She dressed up specifically when she went out today. She stood in the bright sunshine in front of the door. The red begonia made her face look red, delicate and moist, and her peach blossom eyes were dark and bright. When she looked at him, her eyes clearly reflected the figure of a man, as if he was the only one in her eyes.
Chu Xing was inexplicably afraid that these simplest and most beautiful peach blossom eyes would sweep towards Zhu in the distance. His voice was so steady that it was almost rigid, "The fourth girl came with the old lady?"
"Yes, my grandmother is there." Lu Mingyu pretended that he didn't notice that Chu Sui was always stuck to her face, and held Chu Ying and smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to see my grandmother. She likes beautiful little girls the most."
Chu Ying and Chu Xiang nodded together and followed her obediently.
When the person left, Chu Xing looked sideways and looked at his cousin beside him.
Chu Sui Ze followed Lu Mingyu closely, and it was still hard to believe that Lu Si, the short girl who was in a state of uncertainty, would actually go out to the ground...
In this way, dazzling.
