Except for Little Snot and Little Sloppy, everyone looked at Su Shi with red eyes, because no one cared about them except Bao's mother and Nan's father.
Everyone else treats them as lowly weeds to be trampled on at will.
But Su Shi was different. Not only was he willing to be friends with them, but he was also willing to help them.
Su Shi said, "Do you need me to take you to buy clothes?"
Goudan held back tears and shook his head.
"Really not necessary?"
Goudan smiled happily, and said proudly: "I often beg in front of Tailor Li's shop, so I know exactly what the prices of the clothes he sells there are, and they can't deceive me."
"Where's the bathhouse?"
Erya blushed and said, "Grandpa Yao who is guarding the bathhouse is a good man, and there is no one in the bathhouse at this time, so Grandpa Yao will help us."
Su Shi smiled and said, "Very good, it seems you are all capable."
Goudan left with his friends. Before leaving, Goudan suddenly turned around and said firmly to Su Shi: "I know you are rich and don't care about this little money at all, but we will definitely pay back the money." for you."
"I know, and I believe it won't take long for you to pay it off."
Goudan and the others finally left this dead end. When they came in, they were like gophers hiding around. When they left, although they were still in ragged clothes, everyone held their heads high and their eyes were full of light.
Su Shi followed them quietly, but his brows wrinkled involuntarily.
Because although he had figured out a lot of things, there were still a few things he couldn't figure out.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "You are such a big man, why do you still play such childish games with me?"
After finishing speaking, he slowly reached into his clothes and took out the piece of silk from his pocket.
It was a handkerchief. When Su Shi's fingers touched the handkerchief, she could immediately feel its silky smoothness and delicateness.
The handkerchief was folded squarely, and the first thing that caught Su Shi's eyes was a solitary plum blossom.
The trunk of the tree twists and turns upward, and a lifelike plum blossom stands proudly on a dead branch.
Su Shi unfolded the handkerchief and found that in addition to the solitary plum blossom, there were four patterns embroidered on the blank space.
Each pattern is very small, only about the size of a fingernail, but the embroiderer is very skilled and each pattern is embroidered to perfection.
The four patterns are simple, clear, and extremely elegant, like an elegant crane dancing gracefully.
Although Su Shi knew that the secret of the handkerchief was hidden in these four patterns, Su Shi read these four patterns several times but could not understand what they meant.
Su Shi rubbed his forehead. When he was at a loss, he accidentally saw a silk and satin shop diagonally opposite.
Suddenly his heart moved, and he walked straight to the silk shop.
As soon as he arrived in front of the silk and satin shop, a handsome and smart young man came up to him, with a comfortable smile on his face, and he greeted warmly: "Sir, please come inside. Our store has a complete range of goods, and they are cheap and high-quality. It will definitely make you happy." Young Master is satisfied."
When Su Shi entered the store, the shopkeeper saw that Su Shi was very majestic and not like an ordinary person, so he hurriedly came out to receive him personally.
Su Shi looked around and saw that the shelves were filled with all kinds of silks and satins. As the boy said, the goods were indeed comprehensive.
But as for whether it was cheap and high-quality, Su Shi was not familiar with silk and satin and could not judge.
The shopkeeper came to Su Shi and was about to greet him, but Su Shi asked first, "What's your name, shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then replied: "My surname is Xu."
"It turns out to be Shopkeeper Xu." Su Shi continued to ask, "I wonder how many years Shopkeeper Xu has been running this silk and satin shop?"
Shopkeeper Xu didn't know the young master's intention for a moment. He raised his head slightly and looked at Su Shi. He saw Su Shi looking at him with bright eyes. Shopkeeper Xu immediately felt a vague pressure.
He hurriedly replied: "If you count from being an apprentice, I have been running the silk and satin shop for thirty-three years."
"Thirty-three years!" Su Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then he added: "That shopkeeper Xu must know all kinds of silks and satins."
When he mentioned his own profession, Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help showing a hint of arrogance on his face. He smiled and said, "I dare not say anything else. I can tell the quality of any silk and satin just by looking at it, and I can tell the place of origin by touching it."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Xu was so confident, Su Shi was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he was so lucky. He couldn't help but smile and said, "In that case, I just have something to ask Shopkeeper Xu."
Shopkeeper Xu thought that Su Shi was going to test himself, so he hurriedly said, "I don't dare. Master, please tell me something."
Su Shi took out the handkerchief from his arms, unfolded it in front of Shopkeeper Xu, and then asked slowly: "Can Shopkeeper Xu see the origin of this handkerchief?"
Shopkeeper Xu didn't take it seriously at first. When Su Shi unfolded the handkerchief, he took a closer look. Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and his whole body was like chaff. He looked at Su Shi with fear.
Su Shi saw that Shopkeeper Xu's face changed drastically and his expression was very different. He couldn't help but look at him in confusion and asked with concern: "Shopkeeper Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Su Shi's voice, shopkeeper Xu was startled, took several steps back, and then looked at Su Shi fearfully.
Su Shi didn't expect that a handkerchief could frighten shopkeeper Xu so much. He couldn't help but take a closer look, but he was still confused and couldn't see what was scary about this handkerchief.
"Do you know the origin of this handkerchief?" Su Shi looked at Shopkeeper Xu again.
"Don't you know...don't you know?"
Su Shi smiled bitterly and said, "If I knew, why would I ask you?"
Shopkeeper Xu's expression changed again and he said hurriedly: "Sir, please come back. The shop is busy today and will not be doing business."
Su Shi naturally knew that this was his excuse, so he was not willing to give up like this. He said calmly: "If shopkeeper Xu doesn't tell the origin of this handkerchief, I won't leave today."
This sentence seemed a bit lazy, but even if it was lazy, Su Shi was determined to know the origin of this handkerchief.
Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly bowed to Su Shi and said in a panic: "Master, please leave and don't bring trouble to the store. I'm already old. I'm older and younger. Please show me your noble hand and let me go." .”
Hearing shopkeeper Xu's nonsense, Su Shi became even more curious and couldn't help but said, "I just want to know the origin of this handkerchief, how can it hurt you?"
However, shopkeeper Xu seemed to be too frightened, his face was pale, he just looked at Su Shi in horror, unable to say a word.
In desperation, Su Shi had no choice but to say, "Do you know General Su Niansu?"
Shopkeeper Xu nodded.
"I am Su Shi, the second son of General Su's mansion." Su Shi looked directly at Shopkeeper Xu and said slowly: "So you don't have to be afraid, just tell me the origin of the handkerchief, and I will take care of everything."
Hearing Su Shi introduce himself to his family, shopkeeper Xu gradually calmed down, and then asked, "Are you really Su Shi, the second son of General Su's mansion?"
