Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 120 Meeting an Old Man in the Capital

Luo Yunrui looked at this and that, with a dilemma.

Just at this moment, the master-servant couple also came over, and just overheard the conversation between them, and naturally saw Luo Yunrui's embarrassed expression.The young master chuckled slightly: "I'm afraid this lady is not suitable for wearing gold jewelry, or you can consider this style of gold inlaid with jade, I'm afraid it will be more suitable."

Luo Yunrui let out a sigh of relief. She really didn't feel sorry for the money, but rather didn't want to wear such a heavy set of gold jewelry.Having said that, it's not that the Luozhang family doesn't have gold ornaments. Originally, the Luozhang family also prepared a set of extremely gorgeous head and face jewelry with gold ornaments and precious stones.At that time, it was said that it would be used for Luo Yunrui's wedding day, but unexpectedly, something happened to the elder of the Qin family, and the marriage was postponed because of this.However, that set of head and face jewelry has already arrived in Luo Yunrui's hands, but Luo Zhang said that if there is a better one in three years' time, she will naturally prepare another set for her.

"How do you know? My lady looks good in gold jewelry." The baby replied instinctively, but when she looked back, she realized that it was someone she knew: "Eh? You guys just now..."

"Thank you for your help just now, Miss." The young master smiled slightly: "But I still have to say, this lady is not suitable for pure gold jewelry."

Luo Yunrui was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and without answering, she directly ordered the boy to bring another set of jewelry.In fact, the laws of this dynasty are tolerant towards women. Women in the previous dynasty were absolutely not allowed to go out before they were married, even if they were accompanied by someone.Even if you are married, you are not allowed to go out without the company of your husband.Moreover, you must wear a cap when you go out, otherwise you will be considered infidelity.

However, this dynasty is too tolerant in this respect.As long as unmarried women are engaged, it is not so strict.Of course, going out alone is definitely still not allowed, but as long as you have company, it doesn't matter.As for after marriage, it will be more convenient to go out, this is one of the reasons why Luo Yunrui is looking forward to getting married as soon as possible.

However, although the law is tolerant, women have to rely on self-respect.Just like Luo Yunrui, although she went shopping, she was always picked up by a carriage, and she never talked to strangers.Even if you want to say it, you have to relay it through the mouth of the personal servant girl.

The young master only looked at Luo Yunrui in embarrassment, so he interjected, but seeing Luo Yunrui smiling and silent, he came to his senses again: "Sorry, I was being rude." It is impossible for a girl who is over [-] years old to be engaged. Maybe she is here to buy a dowry.It was really inappropriate for him to interrupt like this.

Luo Yunrui didn't care, but she didn't explain anything. Instead, she followed the young master's advice and chose a set of gold and jade head jewelry.In fact, when it comes to price, pure gold jewelry is not the most expensive. The gold inlaid jade that Luo Yunrui picked out is only more expensive than the one just now.Naturally, this cannot be compared with what Mrs. Luo Zhang prepared for her. You must know that there is nothing in Mrs. Luo's hands that is not a high-quality goods.

However, this set is not bad.Asked the baby to look at it for her, Luo Yunrui paid the money, stared at the little guy in a daze, and finally believed that Luo Yunrui didn't want to accept the pure gold head jewelry just because she didn't like it, but Can't afford it.

After buying a set of jewelry, Luo Yunrui was not satisfied. What she wanted to know was about the operation status of this gold jewelry store.Helpless, even though she looks like a big client, it's not so easy to get the secret out of her mouth.Besides, a young man may not know a lot.

Sighing secretly in her heart, what she was thinking at this moment was, if her grandfather hadn't passed away, how good it would be?Maybe Luozhang won't get so much dowry, but with one more backer, she can also have more people to make her act like a baby.

"Miss, are you from the capital?" For some reason, the young master followed Luo Yunrui all the time.Seeing that Luo Yunrui was leaving now, she couldn't help asking.

Luo Yunrui looked at him puzzled, but she didn't understand what this man was trying to do.After a moment of hesitation, she winked at the doll.

"We are not from the capital. If you want to ask for directions, young master, you are looking for the wrong person." Wawa said very bluntly. This is not considered polite, but it is not considered rude.

The young master smiled, as if he could see that the baby didn't want to see him: "In that case, I won't disturb the young lady's elegant mood, so I will leave." He didn't intend to get close to him, but just thought Although Luo Yunrui is not very old, she is steady and has a calm demeanor.However, the little maid next to her has a strange appearance, making Luo Yunrui helpless every time.

"Young master, what are you doing? You are already engaged." The servant next to the young master boldly reminded.

"Slap!" The young master slapped the boy's head without hesitation: "You talk too much! I just found a very funny little sister. Tell me, is this lady more fun than Xi'er?" too much?"

The young man held his head and cried out for pain, and he defended his young lady unwillingly: "That's just a country girl, at most she's the eldest lady of a merchant, how can she compare with the second young lady at home?"

"You talk too much!" The young master slapped the boy again, but turned around and looked at the plaque of the gold jewelry shop seriously: "I remember this is a century-old brand, right?"

"It seems to be." Even though he was beaten, the boy still answered the young master's question conscientiously: "I remember that the owner of this shop seems to be surnamed Zhang."

"Is your surname Zhang?" The young master pondered slightly: "Come on, come here, I have a task for you. From now on, help me investigate all the shops in the capital with the owner's surname Zhang. Plus Zhuangzi in the suburbs. Let's go!"

The boy instantly turned into a bitter face, looking at his young master innocently and helplessly: "Master, are you kidding me?"

"Hmph, my young master wants to study in the school, you can do it yourself!" After walking two steps forward, the young master turned around and smiled brightly at the boy: "You have a month to investigate, work hard! "

Not to mention how broken the boy over there was, Luo Yunrui went to another shop.This is naturally one of Luo Zhang's dowry shops, but it's not a gold jewelry shop, but a pawn shop.In fact, there are a total of 30 auspicious pawn shops in the capital, all of which belong to the Luo Zhang family's dowry shops.However, [-] years ago, before Luo Zhang's father passed away, Jixiang Pawnshop was the number one pawnshop in the capital, almost monopolizing all the pawnshop business back then.However, since Luo Zhang's father passed away, these shops have been worsening day by day.

Even if those who stay are loyal old people, at most they can maintain the original profit of the pawn shop, and it will be even more difficult to go further.In particular, there is pressure from the Zhang family...

A ghostly place like a pawn shop is not something Luo Yunrui can just go in.It's not that pawnshops stop people from entering, but that big families are more taboo about such things.Therefore, Luo Yunrui found a teahouse not far from the pawn shop, asked for a box, and sat by the window to drink tea.

Strictly speaking, the business of this auspicious pawn shop is still good. In just such a short time, there are several groups of people coming in and out.The problem is that these people are all small objects.There are even people who come to pawn with rags. Even if Luo Yunrui doesn't know the business of pawn shop, she also knows that antique calligraphy, paintings, gold and silver jewelry are the big ones.

Sighing secretly, Luo Yunrui was really helpless: "Baby, tell me, I should find a businessman to marry."

The baby's eyes widened: "Master, are you finally planning to abandon that young master of the Qin family? That's great!"

"No..." The corners of Luo Yunrui's mouth twitched slightly, taking the opportunity of drinking tea to hide her helplessness.The baby has a good heart and has always been loyal to her. It would be more perfect if she didn't have the characteristic of convulsions from time to time.

"By the way, master. Is that young master a businessman just now?" Wa Wa ate his snacks, remembering something, and brought up the pair of masters and servants with whom they had double ties.

"It should be." Luo Yunrui was not very sure, that young master had an extraordinary bearing, and he didn't look like a businessman.It's just that he seems to be very clear about business matters, and he will tactfully rescue Luo Yunrui, and he looks like a well-trained son of a merchant.As a result, Luo Yunrui naturally couldn't be sure.

The doll rested her cheeks, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly became quiet.

Luo Yunrui hoped that the baby would calm down for a while, so naturally she would not rush her.She simply looked out of the window, but, in order to better observe the auspicious pawnshop, Luo Yunrui chose a position facing the pawnshop, so there was no view other than the pawnshop.

Simply put, Luo Yunrui ignored other things and just concentrated on her mind.There are still nearly two years left before her marriage with the young master of the Qin family, but no one knows what will happen in these short two years.Maybe, in less than two years, he will be abandoned again?She shook her head with a wry smile, but Luo Yunrui was also at a loss.However, she still firmly believed that God let her go back to her childhood and gave her a space that was almost against the sky.Then it is definitely not to watch her die, but to hope that she can live a good life and make up for all the regrets of her previous life.

"Master!" The doll exclaimed suddenly: "Look quickly, isn't that person..."

Luo Yunrui followed the doll's fingers and looked over, she froze there for a moment and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
