Chapter 12 The Sentiment of the Market

The next day, Mrs. Ren ordered the girl to summon Qixuan and Dye the branches, and Haosheng said something, but they did not let them suffer from the flesh and skin. After that, let the two of them go back. Affected by this, Qixuan and Dyeing Branches do have a place to grow, and they have taken off some childish and foolish temperaments, and people really feel that the two girls are cute when they see them.

After Mrs. Ren got up early, she sent someone to see Qingqing, and after sending Qixuan and dyeing branches, she got up and went to Qingqing's courtyard. The serving girl was not there, Grandma Liu had something in her heart, so she came here early to take a look, and then the big girl from Mrs. Ren, the two were serving Qingqing and got up to freshen up. Today is extraordinary, because it is related to Qingqing's family affairs, Mrs. Ren doesn't want to break the good marriage because something went wrong. Therefore, Mr. Ren, who left his hangover, came to dress up his daughter in person. On weekdays, Qingqing's hairstyle is mostly the simplest, without complicated processes and exquisite styles, just to be comfortable. When Mrs. Ren saw this, she came up in person, spread out the bun that had been tied, and after recombing it with a wooden comb, her slender fingers gently scattered the silk, and carefully coiled it one by one. The black and green silk is matched with a few and just right hairpins, the face is rubbed with rouge, and the clothes and ornaments worn by Mrs. Ren are all in all aspects, and they should be arranged. I did it at the instigation of this. Those girls and little girls were all stunned, just because of the young lady's alluring appearance, all of them were extremely dazzling, noble and elegant. The lady was satisfied with her daughter's travel makeup, so she sent the girl to ask Aoki if she was up. Wait for the girl to reply: The son is up, and he is ready. After listening, Mrs. Ren touched Qingqing's hand and whispered softly, and Qingqing should go. Then I called the girl who was waiting, and asked her to be careful, be careful on the road, and not let the young lady make any mistakes. The girl who went out with the waiter was not Qixuan or Dyeing Branch, but the girl next to Mrs. Ren, who was older than Qingqing, careful in her work, and very reliable.

Aoki asked the girl to reply, and after a while, another girl came to inform: Childe, my young lady invites you to go to the front of the gate, there is already a sedan chair waiting there. Aoki asked him to reply: Just go. After the girl retreated, Aoki rushed over with the little girl who drove with him the day before. Under Mrs. Ren's arrangement, Qingqing walked to the front door with the girl.

Aoki arrived early, and when he saw that the young lady didn't come, he stood where he was and waited. Qingqing had just arrived, and when she saw her slim and beautiful, she passed away in a trance for a while, not knowing where she was. I saw Ren Qingqing wearing a pale yellow flowing cloud skirt, the material is delicate and elegant, embroidered with a complex white peony picture, concave and convex, it is as vivid as if it is alive and vividly in the skirt, lined with beautiful faces, and the black green silk, for a while, the breeze blows through it, the hair flies with the wind, the skirt dances lightly, and the peony flowers bloom in the wind. That scene was engraved into Aoki's heart.

The two smiled at each other and nodded, but did not speak. The big girl saluted Aoki and helped Qingqing to open the curtain and get into the sedan chair, and Aoki also got into the sedan chair. A sedan chair with four sedan chair drivers, four heads each, two sedan chairs at a time, followed back and forth to the street. That lady Ren is thoughtful, and she has to ask about everything, but she is afraid of revealing the slightest. Early this morning, I chose a shrewd and capable little guy, and carefully told him to take the young lady and the son all the way to the place, "I won't go to the troublesome and filthy places, and I can't go to the drunken gold, smoke, willows, and flowers." Just go to some secluded and uninhabited places, so that when the two masters have a rest, just say more words" After speaking, the little servant nodded smoothly and promised one by one.

At first, the little maid led the sedan chair to walk in front, and just walked to the street, he suddenly had an urgency to urinate, so he ordered the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair to the teahouse at the entrance of the east street, and he hurried to find the thatched house. The sedan chair drivers didn't dare to slack off, so they responded when they got their orders, and walked straight towards the entrance of Dongjie. When they arrived at the teahouse at the entrance of Dongjiekou, the sedan chair driver stopped and hung down in front of him so that the guests could come down. The big girl lifted the curtain and helped Qingqing down. Aoki in the back sedan also got down, and the little guy followed. When I arrived at the teahouse, I should go in first to sit down, and the slippery little guy hadn't arrived yet, so I should wait for him to come. The little guy said that he was in a hurry to urinate and ran away, Qingqing in the sedan car heard it clearly, thinking that if he went with this little guy, he didn't know where to go, so it was better to wait and invite the green wood to go everywhere together. Therefore, when Qingqing saw him get out of the sedan chair, she greeted him and said: Yesterday, my father called you. Aoki, why don't I call you Aoki in the future, of course, you can also call me Qingqing, what?

Aoki smiled and replied: "Even so, better.

Qingqing said: The teahouses, wine shops, and restaurants in this hilly country, just like other places, are not particularly interesting, but in addition to these, there are still some places worth visiting.

After listening, Aoki said: You said the same. So where is the place to go?

Qingqing said with a smile: I am familiar with the string alley market on Xiling Street, where people are full of their own good things, everything. There is also a small shop selling fishing boats to get rent in the south street lane, calculate the money by the time, get on the boat and swim to the lake, take in the scenery everywhere, and you can fish by yourself, and you can cook food on the boat when you catch fish and shrimp. Then there is a smoky willow bustling alley on the north bank, although it is a place of fireworks, but it does not lose the ice and jade, talented and elegant women, officials, and even literati, who really have vertical and horizontal talents, and people who are full of poetry and books are also happy, not only that, but the rouge and pink there are not comparable to the street shops. These three places are what I know, what do you think?

Aoki smiled and replied: The place where Qingqing said must be good. So go now?

Qingqing said: So very good!

A young lady, a son, a girl, a little girl, the four of them abandoned the sedan chair and walked all the way to the place they just said. When I arrived at the smoke willow first, the whole street and alley were lined with courtyards of various kinds of inviting guests, and because it was morning, they were all closed and closed. However, the small vendors selling rouge and incense powder here have already set up their stalls, and the colorful and fragrant pink cardamom has already flooded the streets to the alleys. The big girl who accompanied the attendant entered the house since she was a child, because she was an orphan and didn't know her parents, so she never went out to the market during the holidays in previous years. At this time, when I saw these tempting things, I liked her more than Qingqing, and I pulled her to look at this for a while, and I pulled it to see that for a while, which was really dazzling. And Qingqing also went with her. Thinking that this girl is careful and cowardly, Qingqing deliberately led her to be stubborn. In the end, the big girl wrapped incense powder, rouge, and Lancôme, but Qingqing didn't have anything. Aoki's little servant didn't wait for the master to speak, so he helped the big girl carry it by himself. The big girl couldn't help it, so she had to respond, blushing with shame.
