Chapter 37 The Crisis of Buddha Incense Pavilion
Xiangshenju ate five taels of silver for a breakfast! Mr. Jiang did not feel sorry for Jiang Houer when he asked him to pay the bill, but Jiang Liu's heart was bleeding.
I thought the 500 taels of silver left to her by my mother was a huge sum of money, but I didn't know it would be enough for her father to eat for a month...
A prodigal son!
Jiang Liu was not the only one who hurt, but Jiang Bao was the same. He went to the pawnshop for Erye yesterday and secretly took out a calligraphy and painting. He wouldn't have to squander all the money he had come here today, right? Jiang Bao grabbed Jiang Houer and asked in a low voice, "How much money did you bring today?"
Jiang Houer raised her chest and laughed, "Even if she has no money, the second master can still eat, drink and have fun in the West Market!"
How to play, do you rely on your face? Jiang Bao shrank back, and only the second master's face is easy to use.
"Second Master~~~ You won't come to me some days!"
A delicate cheer came from the roadside shop, and Jiang left a jump and almost spit out two taels of silver breakfast. She covered her mouth and turned to see whose little lady it was. She was so happy to see her father.
The woman in a double-ten wearing a moon-white narrow-sleeved shirt and a water-blue pleated skirt was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye, and was as watery as a green onion just pulled out of the ground. Jiang Liu liked her spirit very much, but Jiang Muyan lowered her head tightly, for fear that others would find out that her father was being picked up by a businesswoman.
Seeing the woman rushing out, Mr. Jiang smiled in bright eyes, "Is Miss Hua's business good recently?"
"I wish you good luck, the business is not bad. Is it good for the second master and the two girls to come in for a cup of tea?" Hua Niang warmly greeted them into the store.
Jiang Liu looked into the shop and found that Hua Niangzi had a rouge shop. Although the shop was not big, the things were placed very neatly and cleanly. When people saw it, they would urge to go in and stroll around.
Unfortunately, her father couldn't feel Jiang Liu's impulse. Mr. Jiang shook his head, "Today, I will take two girls to go around and come to have tea again next day."
Hua Niang didn't force herself to stay. She quickly stepped in and took two boxes of balm and handed it to Zhao Qingling. She said sincerely, "This is a fresh thing just coming from the west. It's dry in winter, so it's best to apply it on your hands. Don't both girls."
Seeing that the second master did not refuse, Zhao Qingling smiled and stopped.
Before Jiang Liu could recover from the joy of receiving the gift, a female shopkeeper in front stopped her father and asked him to sit in the shop. Then, the wet nurse had two more gift boxes in her hand.
When they walked to the door of Foxiang Pavilion in Caiyi Lane, the wet nurse, Shuqiu and Uncle Qiu were holding a large box! Jiang Liu now understood what Jiang Houer said - her father didn't have money and didn't have to take the initiative to scan his face, so someone gave him something!
The Jiang family is already in a downturn. These people who give things are not to ask her father for his work, but to give it sincerely. How could her father have such a good reputation?
When he arrived at the second floor of Foxiang Pavilion, Mr. Jiang put down Xiao Jiangliu, shook his arm and complained, "Liuer has become heavy again these days!"
Jiang Liu smiled, "Dad-Dad-Strength-Qi-Qi-Leter-Qi-Leter-Small."
"You are not good at speaking, and you dare to be stubborn." Mr. Jiang raised his hand and stuffed a piece of candy to his little daughter before instructing the store, "Take all the hand beads in the pavilion for you to see."
Jiang Liu, who was eating candy, almost choked to death by her father's words.
On the way from Shifeng Lane to Xishi, Jiang Liu saw all kinds of temples, which showed the prosperity of Buddhism in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Buddhism is so popular, so the items for worshiping Buddha will definitely not be too cheap. This Buddha fragrance pavilion is magnificent and obviously sells high-end goods. Can his father afford the best Buddhist beads here?
The store didn't think that Mr. Jiang had no money, so he happily picked up a long tray with a row of hand beads on the soft silk cloth inside the tray. The store introduced one by one, "Er Master, the best hand beads for agate, sandalwood, rosewood, agarwood, and nanmu in our store are all here, so you will always choose it slowly."
After the shop went out, Mr. Jiang Er said to his two daughters, "You two choose a bunch of them as a birthday gift for our father and daughter to our grandmother."
It is quite appropriate to give hand beads as birthday gifts. Jiang Liu no longer cares about the price and drags his sister to choose.
At this time, Jiang Houer suddenly pushed the door and whispered in Erye Jiang's ear, "Princess Leyang is here!"
Mr. Jiang stood up and said, "Let Uncle Qiu be guarding outside the door, don't both of you go out."
"Yes!" Jiang Houer immediately dragged Jiang Bao outside the door in, held her breath and listened to the movement outside.
Princess Leyang? Is it the one who has raised many concubines in the mansion and angered the princess to death? Looking at her father's nervousness, Jiang Liu also became nervous. Princess Leyang won't like her father, right? She won't be so unlucky!
As soon as he entered the west market, he met Liu Ruyan, and as soon as he arrived at Foxiang Pavilion, he ran into Princess Leyang again. Mr. Jiang was in a bad mood. He pretended to sit down calmly and asked his two daughters, "Do you have a choice?"
Jiang Muyan and Shuqiu were already scared by Princess Leyang. Jiang Liu picked up a string of pure black sandalwood hand beads and handed them to his father, "This one."
Mr. Jiang put the bracelet into his arms, took out a few silver notes from his arms and slapped them on the tray, "Let's take a rest here first, and then continue to turn later."
Jiang Muyan nodded quickly. In her eyes, Princess Leyang was even more terrifying than the plague that killed people.
Jiang Liu was curious about how much her father had sold it, so he stretched out his hand to try to pull out the silver notes. Before the silver notes were pulled, her hand was grabbed by her father and pulled over and kneaded. Jiang Liu looked up and saw her father's face full of solemnity, so he endured it. He puffed up his cheeks and blew the air, trying to blow away the silver notes, and counted it again.
The more Mr. Jiang was getting more and more uneasy, and he always felt that Princess Leyang was coming too coincidental, "Monkey, who came with her?"
"It seems to be..."
"Is Mr. Jiang Feng in the room? My princess said it would be better to meet him by chance than to invite him. I want to invite you to have a cup of tea." Before Jiang Houer finished speaking, a clear summoning sound came from outside the door. He said it was "please", but his tone was not at all respectful.
Jiang Houer's face turned pale in an instant. He pressed Jiang Bao at the door and ran to the window to push open the window. "Second Master runs first, the young guys are here to resist for a while!"
Zhao Qingling didn't care about the identity of the master and servant, and stepped forward and pushed Mr. Jiang towards the window, "Second Master, go quickly! I can hold on for a while!"
Mr. Jiang, who was pale, ran away without jumping into the window. He grabbed Jiang Houer, "You have handed over your two daughters to you. You must send them back to your house safely, otherwise you will break your legs!"
Jiang Muyan cried, "Father..."
"Shut up! Your eyes are swollen and walnuts, and you are still crying!" Mr. Jiang encouraged himself with a calm and handsome face, "I am afraid that she will do anything, so I will come when my father goes, and you can go back first."
Shuqiu also cried, "Second Master, don't go to the princess's mansion, you will die."
Seeing his father's body swaying for a while, Jiang Liu understood that he was really afraid. Even though he was afraid, his father had not forgotten to take care of her and his sister, Jiang Liu was content. She slowly stepped forward and grabbed his father's cold hand, "Go with Daddy and Daddy."
"you……"
"Young Master Jiang, open the door." The voice outside the door became even more and more rude.
"Dad-Hug." Jiang Liu stretched out his little arm.
