Cao Lang just came?
How could it happen?
Luckily she came a little late!
When the guests heard this, their voices immediately became noisy.
"Is that Cao Zhuangyuan?"
"This is a real young talent... There is no limit to the future."
"Yes, I've seen it once that day. People are modest and polite. They don't have the impetuous spirit of young success. It's rare..."
"It is said that many dignitaries in Beijing wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law."
Listening to these praises in her ears, Xia Xi's frown slowly unfolded.
It was clear that she was the one she despised, but she was praised by others. This wonderful sense of pride was very useful in her heart.
The next moment, someone in the group sighed: "the champion is good everywhere, but there is a little..."
A little what?
Xia Xi pricked up her ears and waited to listen.
There were also curious people whispering.
Even the guys in the study poked their heads to listen.
The man coughed softly and said, "it's nothing. Just look at the number one scholar. He's only over 20. His head seems to be a little sparse. He's always bothered in officialdom. I'm afraid he'll have to wait for a few years..."
Xia Xi's face stiffened.
... then what?
——Bald?!
That day she went to see him cross the horse and swim the street. He was wearing a champion hat. His face was old enough, but under the champion hat, his hair was in danger?
A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old still values her appearance. Even if she doesn't have a really happy person, who doesn't want the person she marries to be handsome and handsome?
It's just not handsome enough, but I'm bald. Who can bear it?!
Xia Xi only felt the darkness in front of her.
"As for scholars, they have taken some trouble. They are from poor backgrounds. Their diet is inevitably crude. Balding is also a common thing."
"Yes, and as a man, talent is enough... What's more, people are going to marry Miss Xia family. What's the matter with how much hair?"
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying of 'being extremely smart'. If you have less hair, you will look more calm. It's not a bad thing!"
Listening to the ridicule laughter from those people, Xia Xi was dizzy with anger and turned out of her study.
"Ah Xi...!"
Zhou Zhen gives the selected inkstone to the servant girl to pay the silver, but he quickly chases it out.
"Axi, why did you come out suddenly?"
Xia Xi frowned at her friend.
Is she deaf? Didn't you hear what those people just said?
But looking through the gauze hanging from the power fence, the girl with round cheeks looked puzzled. It didn't seem to be pretending.
After all, Zhou has always been silly and careless.
"Seeing that you've chosen almost, I'll come out to breathe." Xia Xi explained coldly, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by a busy shop opposite.
This shop is full of female guests, including women in Chinese clothes.
"Where is that?" Xia Xi asked casually.
After asking, her eyes touched the sign hanging outside the shop door, and her eyes suddenly cooled down.
Suyufang
Even if she had never come in person, it did not prevent her from knowing that Xu Ying's jewelry shop in Xiyi street was called suyufang.
"Well... It's a jewelry shop." Zhou Zhen hesitated, as if he didn't dare to mention anything more.
Xia Xi sneered.
"There's nothing I dare not say. It's the one called Xu Ying."
She really had never seen such a shameless person. When something happened, she hurt her second brother, and she had the face to open a shop in the city.
The existence of this shop seems to remind the people in Beijing of the old story. Anyone who passes here will think of her second brother and secretly give advice to their Xia family!
Whenever she thought about it, she felt like a lump in her throat, not to mention seeing the business of the shop with her own eyes at this time.
When the shop first opened, she had people come to find Xu Ying's trouble, but she was disturbed by Xu Mingyi and Princess Yufeng. That day, Princess Yufeng threatened to support the shop. She didn't want to offend the princess, so she stopped thinking temporarily.
At that time, Zhou Zhen also advised her not to be angry, saying that the shop would not last long. After all, who dared to oppose their Xia family? If no one patronizes, the business can't go on.
But what's going on now?
Aware of her sight under the power fence, Zhou Zhen looked complex and said, "at first, the business was really cold, but Princess Yufeng and Miss Xu of the town government frequently patronized here and often wore jewelry customized by this shop. It spread everywhere, and there were more and more guests..."
If you go alone, you may also consider whether you will offend the Xia family, but if you go together, you have nothing to care about.
Xia Xi's face was very heavy.
Xu Mingyi... Xu Mingyi again!
Xu Ming intends to be picky. What valuable things can this small shop sell? How can she get into her eyes?
As for customization, why choose Xu Ying for so many large jewelry buildings in Beijing?
This is clearly deliberately to have a hard time with the Xia family and her!
From childhood to mostly!
"Axi, I've never been there." Zhou zhe whispered.
Xia Xi had no time to pay attention to her words and looked straight at a carriage not far from the door of the shop.
That's the carriage of the town government!
Xia Xi's tight mouth moved, full of irony.
It seems that Xu Mingyi is really diligent. It's very difficult for her to go out and meet each other here.
Won't you just make friends with Xu Ying—— What Xu Ming is good at is how to disgust her!
Zhou Zhen obviously also saw the carriage - to be exact, she saw it earlier than Xia Xi.
At this time, she gently pulled Xia Xi's sleeve and said softly in a cautious tone: "ah Xi, let's go elsewhere..."
Xia Xi shook off her hand coldly.
Why did she take a detour when she saw Xu Mingyi? Is she afraid that Xu Mingyi won't succeed!
She wants to see what good things are in this shop!
Xia Xi took the servant girl to the opposite side.
"Axi, you wait for me..." Zhou Zhen hurriedly followed him, his tone sounded quite nervous.
Xia Xi, who had just come to Suyu square, suddenly stopped.
There was a chair on the side outside the shop door. In the chair, there was a flat haired animal.
The girl who was raised in the boudoir since childhood has never seen a vulture and can't recognize what it is. At first, she just felt strange.
But the next moment, it's not just strange.
Xia Xi looked at the bald bird's head in the sun and suddenly felt very dazzling, as if it had been connoted.
... is she so upset that even a bird is satirizing her?
Originally, there was no place to vent her anger. Xia Xi angrily grabbed a bag of fried chestnuts bought by the servant girl, grabbed a few and smashed them: "get away!"
