Chapter 37 The Crisis of Buddha Incense Pavilion
Xiangshanju ate five taels of silver for one breakfast! Jiang Erye didn’t feel bad when he asked Jiang Hou’er to check out, but Jiang Liu’s heart was bleeding.
I thought that the five hundred taels of silver left by my mother was a huge sum of money, but I knew it would be enough for her father to eat for a month…
Prodigal son!
It’s not only Jiang Liu who suffers from pain, Jiang Bao is also the same. He only went to the pawnshop for the second master yesterday and secretly pawned a calligraphy and painting, wouldn’t he have to squander all the money he got today? Jiang Bao grabbed Jiang Hou’er and asked in a low voice, “How much money did you bring today?”
Jiang Hou’er raised his chest and laughed, “Even if there is no money, Er Ye can still eat, drink and have fun in the West Market!”
How to play, do you rely on your face? Jiang Bao shrank back, only the second master’s face was easy to use in this matter.
“Second Master~~~ You won’t come to the slave’s house for some days!”
A coquettish cheer came from the roadside shop, and Jiang Liu was taken aback, almost spitting out two taels of silver for breakfast. She covered her mouth and turned to see who the little lady was. She was so happy to see her father.
This double-ten woman in a moon-white narrow-sleeved shirt and a water-blue pleated skirt is unexpectedly seductive, as slick as a green onion just pulled from 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 casually approached by a businesswoman.
Seeing the woman rushing out, Erye Jiang’s bright eyes lit up with a smile, “How is the business of Lady Hua lately?”
“Thanks to you, the business is not bad. How about the second master and the two girls come in for a cup of tea?” Hua Niangzi warmly greeted them into the store.
Jiang stayed in the shop and found that Hua Niangzi opened a rouge shop. Although the shop is not big, the things are arranged very neatly and it is very clean. When people see it, they have the urge to go in and stroll.
Unfortunately, her father couldn’t feel Jiang Liu’s impulse. Jiang Erye shook his head, “Today, I will take two girls to go around, and come back for tea another day.”
Hua Niangzi didn’t insist on staying, she quickly went to get two boxes of balsam, and handed them over to Zhao Qingling, she said sincerely, “This is a fresh thing that just came from the west. It’s dry in winter, and it’s best to put it on your hands. Don’t despise this girl.”
Zhao Qingling smiled when he saw that the second master did not refuse.
Jiang Liu hadn’t recovered from the joy of receiving the gift, when another female shopkeeper stopped her father and asked him to sit in the shop. Then, the nanny had two more gift boxes in her hand.
When they walked to the front of the Foxiang Pavilion in Caiyi Lane, the big and small boxes were held in the hands of Nanny, Shu Qiu and Uncle Qiu! Jiang Liu now understands what Jiang Hou’er said – her father doesn’t have to take the initiative to brush his face if he has no money, someone will send something!
The Jiang family is already in a state of desperation. These people who donate things are not to ask her father to do things, but to send things with sincerity. How can her father have such a good relationship?
In the private room on the second floor of Foxiang Pavilion, Erye Jiang put down Little Jiang Liu, shook his arm and complained, “Liu’er has become heavier these days!”
Jiang Liu smiled, “Father-father-strength-qi-changed-smaller-.”
“You don’t have a good mouth, so you dare to speak up.” Jiang Erye raised his hand to put a piece of candy on the little girl, and then instructed the store owner, “Bring all the best hand beads in the pavilion to the master.”
Jiang Liu, who was eating candy, was almost choked to death by her father’s words.
On the way from Shifeng Lane to Xishi, Jiangliu saw four monasteries, which shows the prosperity of Buddhism in Dazhou. Buddhism is so popular, and Buddhist ritual supplies will certainly not be too cheap. This Buddhist incense pavilion is magnificent and obviously sells high-end goods. Can his father buy the best Buddha beads here?
The store owner didn’t think that Jiang Erye had no money, so he happily held up a long tray with a row of hand beads on the soft silk cloth inside the tray. The store introduced them one by one, “Second Master, the top-grade hand beads of agate, sandalwood, red sandalwood, agarwood, and nanmu in our store are all here, you always choose slowly.”
After the store went out, Jiang Erye said to the two daughters, “You two choose a bunch as a birthday gift for our father and daughter to give to our grandmother.”
It is quite appropriate to give hand beads as a birthday gift, Jiang Liu no longer cares about the price, and pulls his sister to choose.
At this moment, Jiang Houer suddenly pushed the door and came in, whispering in Jiang Erye’s ear, “Princess Leyang is here!”
Jiang Erye stood up abruptly, “Let Uncle Qiu guard the door, and neither of you go out.”
“Yes!” Jiang Hou’er immediately dragged Jiang Bao who was outside the door in, holding her breath and listening to the movement outside.
Princess Leyang? Is it the sister-in-law of today’s sage, the one who raised a lot of heads in the mansion and was mad at the concubine? Seeing her father’s nervousness, Jiang Liu also became nervous. Princess Leyang wouldn’t like her father, would she? Not so unlucky!
As soon as he entered the West Market, he ran into Liu Ruyan, and as soon as he arrived at the Foxiang Pavilion, he ran into Princess Leyang again. Jiang Erye was in a bad mood. He pretended to sit down calmly and asked the two girls, “Have you made your choice yet?”
Jiang Muyan and Shuqiu had been frightened by Princess Leyang, Jiang Liu picked up a string of pure black sandalwood beads and handed it to Daddy, “This one.”
Jiang Erye put the bracelet into his arms, and took out a few silver notes from his arms and slapped them on the tray, “Let’s rest here first, and then turn around later.”
Jiang Muyan nodded quickly. In her eyes, Princess Leyang was more terrifying than the plague that killed people.
Jiang Liu was curious about how much her father had paid for the auction, and stretched out her hand to grab the banknotes. Before the silver note could be picked up, her little hand was grabbed by her father and pulled over and kneaded. Jiang Liu looked up and saw her father’s solemn face, so he endured it, puffed out his cheeks, and wanted to blow away the banknotes and count them again.
Jiang Erye became more and more uneasy the more he stayed. He always felt that Princess Leyang came by coincidence, “Monkey, who accompanied her?”
“it seems that…”
“Can Young Master Jiang Feng be in the room? My princess said it would be better to meet by chance. I would like to invite you over to have a cup of tea.” Before Jiang Hou’er could finish speaking, a clear summoning sound came from outside the door. Said “please”, but there was no respect in his tone.
Jiang Hou’er’s face turned pale in an instant. He pressed Jiang Bao to the door and ran to the window to open the window, “Second master, run first, the little ones stand here for a while!”
Zhao Qingling didn’t care about the status of master and servant, and stepped forward and pushed Jiang Erye to the window, “Second Master, go! The slaves can also hold on for a while!”
The pale-faced Jiang Er Ye didn’t jump out of the window, he grabbed Jiang Hou’er and said, “Master handed over the two daughters to you, you must send them back to the house safely, otherwise Master will break your legs! ”
Jiang Muyan cried, “Father…”
“Shut up! Your eyes are swollen into walnuts, and you’re still crying!” Jiang Erye encouraged himself with a calm face, “I’m afraid of what she’ll do, Dad will come when you go, you go back first.”
Shuqiu also cried, “Second Master, don’t go to the Princess Mansion, you will die.”
Seeing Daddy’s body swaying for a while, Jiang Liu understood that he was really afraid. Even if he was afraid, Daddy had not forgotten to take care of her and her sister, Jiang Liu was content. She slowly stepped forward and grabbed Dad’s icy big hand, “Leave-er-follow-daddy-daddy-one-piece-go.”
“you…”
“Master Jiang, open the door.” The voice outside the door became more and more rude.
“Dad – hug.” Jiang Liu stretched out his small arm.
Thanks for Bingbing’s tip, today’s update is here.
