Chapter Twelve: Into the City

Rou Niang has never set foot outside the ten miles around Yunjia Village since she was a child. This time she came to Lucheng with Yun Zhao, which was a rare journey. The prosperity of Lucheng surprised her and made her eyesight.

, she had never seen so many people before? She was excited but also frightened. She held Yun Zhao's clothes and kept looking at the dazzling array of goods in the surrounding shops.

The aroma of various snacks on the roadside stalls is tempting. The prosperity of Lucheng has also attracted people from all over the world to make a living here. Now there are many famous snacks from all over Vietnam.

"Why are there so many people here?" Rou Niang asked in a low voice.

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "There weren't so many people last year, but now that there's a shopping mall here, there are more people. Well, maybe there will be even more people in the future."

Rou Niang is also educated and literate following her father, so she naturally knows what the business is about. "Father said that after we get married, let us also come to Lucheng. He said that we will have more opportunities in the city."

"My father-in-law is a scholar and naturally has a wide range of knowledge. We listened to his words. After we got married, the two of us came to Lucheng. When I made money, I brought my mother and father-in-law to Lucheng so that they could live well.

Enjoy the blessings." Yun Zhao said with a smile.

"Yes!" Rou Niang nodded, "Father said that when he arrives in Lucheng, he can open an enlightenment library or become a private tutor. In short, he will not take advantage of you.

"

Yun Zhao laughed and said, "That's what I'm saying. It's my duty to serve your father. You, please let your father-in-law rest assured."

As he spoke, he took out a few big bucks from his pocket and bought some preserved fruits for Rou Niang at the roadside stall, "I heard that these things are all from Tanzhou. They are sweet. You must like them."

!”

Taking the paper bag containing the preserved fruit, Rou Niang glanced at Yun Zhao sweetly, picked up a preserved fruit, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. She glanced at the tall Yun Zhao. Although he was a man,

But my heart is kind.

"Rou Niang, in the center of the front is Fengxiang Silver House, which is a time-honored brand in Lucheng. Let's go there to get you a set of jewelry." Yun Zhao pointed to a silver shop in front and said to Rou Niang.

"Okay!" Rou Niang said meekly, "I'll listen to you."

After tying the green mule outside the store, Yun Zhao led Rou Niang into the door. A waiter came up to him and said, "Hey, here comes the old customer. Are you here to have a look today or buy something? The store has just made something."

There are several new styles, do you want our regular customers to take a look?"

Rou Niang held Yun Zhao's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Yun, why do I call you a regular guest? Do you come here often?"

Yun Zhao chuckled: "They greet people like this, regardless of whether they recognize you or not. Doesn't this show enthusiasm? You see, I am very poor. Am I someone who often comes to the bank?"

"Oh, that's it!" Rou Niang was relieved.

"I want to make some clothes." Yun Zhao said to the waiter.

"Okay, okay, our shop is a time-honored store in Lucheng, with the best master chefs in Lucheng. Do regular customers bring their own silver, or do they need us, Lao Fengxiang, to provide it? Our silver shop is full of fine thousand-foot silver."

"Bring your own, bring your own!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.

With a smile on his face, the waiter led Yun Zhao to the counter aside, where stood an old man in a long gown, who was obviously the shopkeeper.

Yun Zhao took out the twenty taels of silver that his mother had worked so hard to save from his arms, and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I want to order a set of jewelry."

Seeing the fineness of the silver, the shopkeeper said: "Old customer, the fineness of this silver is not good. I'm afraid it won't look good when you make it. It will change color over time. We, Lao Fengxiang, never do this. This is not good for us.

The reputation of the time-honored brand is being tarnished! Would you like regular customers to exchange for some silver of good quality? Although the cost is higher, it is more beautiful and more affordable!"

Glancing at the package of loose silver, Yun Zhao said to Rou Niang: "Rou Niang, go take a look at the styles of jewelry here. If you like anything, write it down."

"Oh!" Rou Niang obeyed and followed the waiter to choose a look. Looking at Rou Niang, Yun Zhao took out a piece of gold bar from his arms. He cut one-third of the gold bar from the hidden one.

I am going to use him in exchange for money to buy a good set for Rou Niang.

"Shopkeeper, look at how much silver this little gold can be exchanged for. It's the finest silver in your building!"

The shopkeeper took the piece of gold, weighed it on the scale, and said with a smile: "This piece of gold is of good quality and can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver. What are you going to do with it, old customer?"

"Rou Niang, Rou Niang! Have you made your choice?" Yun Zhao shouted.

Rou Niang came over and after looking at it for a while, she actually chose a hairpin, which was the most ordinary-looking one.

"How can this work? Shopkeeper, we don't really understand. Just look at it. She is wearing it. What do you want?"

"The girl has already chosen the hairpin. I think she will also wear a pair of earrings, a pair of twisted silver bracelets, and a pair of rings. By the way, you two are newlyweds. I will also wear a pair of Baijia locks for the future couple.

My son is ready!" the shopkeeper said with a smile.

Rou Niang blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, not so much, Brother Yun, how can we have so much money?"

Yun Zhao waved his hand grandly, "We are not short of money, my mother has saved it for you, shopkeeper, that's it!"

"Okay!" The shopkeeper was also extremely happy. Although Lucheng is now prosperous, there are not many customers as happy as Yun Zhao. He quickly opened a small ticket, "Should the old customers wait here, or should we go first?"

Go shopping for a while, although there are many masters in our store, it still takes half a day to start. Regular customers know that we, Lao Fengxiang, are the most particular about meticulous craftsmanship."

"We still have something to buy, so we'll go shopping for a while and pick it up later!" Yun Zhao said.

He and Rou Niang came out and Lao Fengxiang said, "Young Niang, my mother said that I will cut some pieces of material for you to make new clothes. Let's go, you go and choose. Now Lucheng is no better than before. There are so many things to dazzle you.

.”

Rou Niang said hesitantly: "Brother Yun, I have already spent so much money, forget it. I asked my third aunt to make me a wedding dress, so I won't spend money randomly. I still have to live!"

Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, you are not afraid, Rou Niang, as long as I am here, are you afraid that you will not make money? From now on, you can spend as much as you can, and I will work hard to earn."

Rou Niang smiled and said: "I don't want it. Why do you need so much money? Your good health is the most important thing. Although you are poorer, you are still happy. Brother Yun, you took the risk to fight such a fierce leopard again this time. Dad later

Tell me, you shed a cold sweat when you saw those leopard skins, and I will not allow you to take risks again in the future."

"I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll go hunt some rabbits, chickens, etc., okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

The two of them walked through the bustling crowd, chatting in small words while walking towards the silk and satin shop in front.

"That man in front of you, stop!" A shout suddenly came from behind, "That's the man with the iron bow on his back, stop!" His tone was stiff, but his words were not spoken very fluently. Yun Zhao's heart was moved, and when he turned around, he saw something
