Chapter 78 Picking a Gift
Not to mention why Qiao Xiangsi was bored and ate vinegar, but said that Ah Ran got out of the carriage, picked up her bamboo stick, and listened carefully to the hawking along the road as she walked.
This bamboo stick was chosen by Qiao Xiangsi for him. It is light and handy, and it is very suitable for Ah Ran to use for exploring the road.It's just that when Qiao Xiangsi was around, he always liked to hold Ah Ran's hand, and the two of them rarely separated, so Ah Ran didn't use it much, and it's still a little rusty now.
"Master Aran, what do you want to buy?" The one who asked Aran was a boy named Mo'er, he was the most intelligent and familiar with all the ways in the street, so Qiao Xiangsi sent him here.In addition to him, there were three other guards who followed behind silently.
Ah Ran thought for a while, then pursed her lips and smiled: "If I tell you, you will definitely tell your young master."
Mo'er smiled and said: "If you don't tell me, I'll see it later, why don't you tell me first. I'm not bragging. I know this area the best. Don't say which one sells the most. Well, even who just got into a fight with my wife last night, I know everything!"
"You're amazing!" Ah Ran said in admiration, she took out her small purse and handed it to Mo'er, "I want to buy a cane, an inkstone, and a small box for incense pills. Help me see, is this money enough?"
Mo'er looked down and saw that there were only three taels of silver in the purse.For ordinary people, these three taels are enough to live a good month, but for the Qiao family...
He silently calculated, put away the money bag, and said with a smile: "Enough, enough, definitely enough! Master Aran, come with me."
The street market is buzzing with people, and all kinds of hawkers come and go one after another.Although Ah Ran couldn't see it, he was infected by the lively emotions. In addition, Mo Er introduced the items sold in these shops and stalls, many of which were rare things that Ah Ran had never seen before, and he was amazed all the way.Thinking of recovering eyesight in a few days, and being able to see a bustling scene that has never been seen before, I can't help but feel very happy.
"The dragon's beard noodles in this restaurant are the best. The noodles are smooth and have a strong taste. The soup made from the pork bone and chicken rack is really fragrant and delicious." Mo'er asked with a smile , "Master Ah Ran, would you like to have a bowl?"
Ah Ran has been busy for a long time, and now she is a little hungry.Smelling the delicious aroma of food, I couldn't help but feel greedy for a long time, but thinking about my not-so-rich wallet, I still said: "No, it's important to buy something first."
Mo'er originally asked Aran because Qiao Xiangsi told him to buy some clean food mats for Aran's stomach. After hearing Aran's order, he quickly introduced Aran into a shop.
"Boss, here comes the business!"
Mo'er shouted into the store.The shop owner greeted him warmly.Aran told him in detail that she needed a strong and beautiful cane, and the handshake must be very smooth so as not to hurt human skin.
The store owner heard Aran's request and saw the bamboo stick in Aran's hand, so he smiled and said: "If you use it yourself, this one in your hand is just right. Our walking sticks are all made of high-quality wood. Yes, it is heavy, and it is more suitable for the elderly with bad legs and feet."
When Ah Ran heard that the boss was not blindly promoting his own cane, he felt good immediately, and explained: "It's mine... Well, his leg was injured before, and it hurts after standing for a long time. I thought, if there is a cane With the cane, he probably won't be in so much pain."
When Mo'er heard this, she was also secretly surprised.This Ah Ran only had three taels of silver, but she still wanted to buy a cane for the wealthy young master... The young master knew about it, and he would have to grin and be happy for a long time.
The store owner saw that Aran had a gentle expression when he mentioned the man, and thought that Aran was buying a cane for his wife, so he praised him for loving his daughter-in-law, making Aran's face blush, happy and shy at the same time.Afterwards, the boss took out the canes in the store for Ah Ran to choose.Ah Ran tried them one by one, finally sighed, and said to the shop owner: "Don't you have smoother ones here? His fingers are very delicate. If you hold them for a long time, they may be painful."
The shop owner didn't know what kind of young lady's pair of soft clothes could be so soft, so he said, "Wait a minute, I have another treasure at the bottom of the box."
Not long after, a white, fine and smooth walking stick was delivered to Ah Ran.As soon as Ah Ran touched it, he felt that it was cold and translucent, and the hand felt like jade, delicate and smooth, far better than the previous cane. He couldn't help asking: "What is this made of?"
"It's an elephant—" before the boss finished speaking, Mo'er stepped on it lightly.Mo'er continued: "This is a kind of jade-like wood that grows in the snow-capped mountains. Master Aran is not a local, so he probably has never seen it before."
Naturally, Ah Ran had never seen it before.This is just Mo'er's random nonsense, there is no such thing in the world.
He touched it carefully, and the more he touched it, the more he felt it was right.Then he asked Mo'er, "What do you think of this style?"
Mo'er smiled and said: "Very good, very beautiful. Even if the young master comes, he will definitely like it." While talking, he winked at the shop owner: "Three coins should be enough?"
The shop owner was startled, and immediately understood what Moer meant: "Enough is enough. This box is matched, I will pack it for you right away."
"En. You wrap it up, and send it to this place." Mo'er ordered the store owner, but she didn't touch Ah Ran's purse, but took out the bank note from the purse that Qiao Xiangsi had handed over to her before.Ah Ran waited for him to pay the money, and a few people walked out of the store before asking in a low voice: "Is there no need to bargain?"
Mo'er smiled wryly, and said to herself that "three coins" bought an ivory cane, do I still need to counter the price?
Ah Ran was thinking, Mo'er didn't counter the price, and Qiao Xiangsi raised the price as soon as she opened her mouth.It seems that this is the style of the Qiao family!Do you want to learn by yourself?
After thinking about it for a while, Ah Ran finally felt that it would be better to do what is within her capacity for this kind of thing.
The next step is to buy an inkstone and a small box as gifts for Qiao Xiangsi's parents.In fact, Ah Ran had already bought some special products on the road as a meeting gift, but he just remembered these two things.
Before meeting Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng in the Meng Mansion, Ah Ran suddenly thought that since Qiao Xiangsi's parents had a good relationship with them, they must be like-minded.Uncle Meng liked to draw, and Qiao Xiangsi's father must also have such an elegant hobby.Linghai City is rich in inkstones, it might be a good idea to buy one.
As for the small box, it was naturally given to Mother Qiao.Aunt Meng's body was pleasantly scented, and Qiao Xiangsi's clothes were also scented with a subtle fragrance, which is what rich people smell like.Ah Ran heard from Qiao Xiangsi that the incense he used to smoke his clothes was worth a lot of money, and he could never afford it.But the small box for the incense pills is not expensive, and it is said that the popular styles are constantly changing and replaced from time to time. If you can pick something more unique, it may be a very interesting gift.
The inkstone is still easy to buy, but the small box that can hold the incense pills is not easy to choose.What exactly is popular now?Ah Ran didn't understand at all, so she asked Mo'er to help her, and slowly touched them one by one.This was very time-consuming and laborious. Ah Ran found that things were not as easy as she thought, so she went to find Qiao Xiangsi first and asked him to go back home.
Qiao Xiangsi waited for a long time, and wondered in her heart whether Ah Ran was going to buy gifts for Meng Shaoyou - after all, Ah Ran only knew Meng Shaoyou and herself here.And I have everything, I don't lack anything, and I am facing Ah Ran day and night, so naturally I have nothing to give away.
He was worrying, but Ah Ran told him to go back home first.Qiao Xiangsi was not happy at the moment.
"It's fine if you don't let me go shopping together, but you still send me away." He complained very aggrieved, "Am I not as useful as Mo'er? I can obviously hold your hand and show you the way!"
Mo'er was quite familiar with this Eldest Young Master, and after hearing this, she was not only speechless: she even showed the way, and I'm afraid that both of them will end up lost and missing.
But he is also a kind person, and he couldn't bear to see his master act coquettishly and shamelessly, so he coughed dryly: "Master Aran, the first thing you bought just now has almost been delivered to the house now."
As soon as Ah Ran heard this, she urged Qiao Xiangsi, "Hurry up and try it out, see if it works."
"...you bought it for me?" Qiao Xiangsi was surprised.
"Yeah!" Ah Ran nodded vigorously, paused, and felt a little embarrassed, "It's just a three-coin walking stick. You can lean on it when you walk, and your legs won't hurt so much."
Qiao Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "You never told me."
"I just thought of it too. If I tell you, you can buy it yourself and don't give me this chance."
Qiao Xiangsi walked away in a hurry.
Ah Ran was even less anxious now, and continued to pick up the gift carefully.
For him, being able to have enough time and money to choose gifts for important people is a very happy and enjoyable thing.What's more, he still wants to make a good impression in front of Qiao Xiangsi's parents - after all, no matter his background, wealth, or appearance can no longer be changed, there is only so much he can do now.
"I've visited two stores already, Master Aran, why don't we go to the front and have a rest first?" Mo'er's words brought Aran back to his senses.Ever since he lost his eyesight, there is no concept of time in his world where the sun rises and the moon sets, so he asked, "Is the sun setting now?"
"Not yet, it's still early." Mo'er smiled, "It's just that if you accidentally tire you out, I'm afraid the young master will get angry with me."
"His temper isn't that bad."
Today's A Ran has jumped directly from "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" to "talking nonsense with open eyes", and even Qiao Xiangsi's temper has improved with him.
However, despite saying this, he still followed Mo'er obediently towards the teahouse.But for some reason, there seem to be more and more people on this road.
Mo'er also noticed something strange, looked forward, frowned slightly, and three guards stepped forward immediately, ready to protect Ah Ran.
"Master Ah Ran, something seems to have happened in front, why don't we—"
"The beauty is coming out!!!" A cry broke through the sky.
In an instant, the crowd was restless!
Ah Ran didn't know what happened yet, she was at a loss, only felt that someone pushed her back heavily.Someone seemed to want to stop him, but Ah Ran was too thin and slipped through the gap in his arm.Hearing Mo'er's anxious shout, Ah Ran was engulfed by the crowd, like a small piece of shell in the ocean, quickly washed away by the ocean current.
