Chapter 57: Leaving the House (11th Watch)

I couldn't sleep well at night, and when I woke up in the morning, I yawned for days, and after washing my face, I woke up a little. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Bizhu asked, "Is the girl still going out?"

Minglan nodded.

The old lady's birthday banquet is coming, and the birthday gift is very complicated, so she has no time to delay.

Hongying was making the bed on the side, and when she heard that Minglan was going out, she looked over, hoping that Minglan would take her out.

After Minglan had breakfast, he took Bizhu to Changsong Temple.

Out of Changsong Courtyard, Bizhu couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the girl take Hongying out?"

"You want me to take her out?" Minglan asked.

Bizhu bites her lip flap.

Speaking from the heart, she is naturally unwilling, what a good thing it is to go shopping with the girl, she is stupid and unwilling to go with her, but she and Hongying are both big girls, but everything like going out is in turn, even if you add a pear, this time it will be Hongying's turn.

These days, the girl is kind to her and Sydney, and she feels it when she is estranged from Hongying, not to mention Hongying herself, the two of them live in the same room, these days, Hongying doesn't talk to her anymore, she is panicking.

Bizhu wanted to know why Minglan didn't like Hongying as much as before after he was punished for kneeling in the Buddha Hall, and was about to ask out loud, when she heard Minglan say, "Keep an eye on her, see if she has close contacts with anyone outside the Flowing Frost Garden." ”

Bizhu replied stupidly, "Yes." ”

After going to Changsong Courtyard to greet the old lady, Minglan excused himself to go to the silk thread shop to pick up some high-quality silk threads to go out of the house, and the old lady agreed.

Last time, Minglan accompanied Gu Rulan to go shopping, and gave her a hosta, she wanted to accompany Minglan, Minglan smiled, "Didn't you say yesterday that you should hurry up and prepare a birthday gift for your grandmother, and you can't even squeeze out the time to go out, and you dare to delay?"

Gu Rulan said, "I'll come back and hurry up and embroider without getting in the way." ”

Minglan covered his mouth and smiled, "I don't know you yet, if I'm in a hurry, I'm bound to make a mistake, I just go to the street to buy some silk threads, and then buy some gadgets for Yunlan and Brother Mao, with Bizhu with you, you embroider well, I'll bring you Jiuzhizhai pastries." ”

"Second sister, I also want Jiuzhizhai's pastries," Gu Xuelan said loudly for fear that Minglan would forget her.

"Don't dare to miss your share. ”

Gu Xuelan's face turned red and said, "I'm like a little overlord!"

Minglan chuckled, isn't his heart Dao?

gave Gu Rulan, without them, it was her partiality to be the second sister, favoring one over the other, not to mention that the third room was a concubine, in the old lady's heart, she should be more intimate with the long room and the fourth room, and she was really looking at Gu Rulan, it was not good for her, Gu Yinlan would target her.

Sister Yifu, she still doesn't know.

"I took one more servant out of the house, bought pastries, and asked him to send them back. ”

"Second sister is so good. ”

"I haven't eaten the pastry yet, my mouth is so sweet," Gu Yinlan snorted coldly, his eyes unpleasant.

In her opinion, Minglan is generously buying people's hearts with the money of the big house!

Out of Bofu, Minglan went straight to Jiuzhizhai.

The pastry of Jiuzhizhai is a must in Kyoto, located at the end of Sajin Street, and is called Sajin and is also worthy of the name.

There are eight busy streets in Kyoto, except for Suzaku Street, which is bustling with gold streets, with houses lined up on both sides of the street, including tea shops, sake shops, foot shops, butcher shops, silk and satin, jewelry and spices, as well as medicine shops, small stalls and countless small stalls.

There is still half a street away from Jiuzhi Zhai, you can smell the fragrance wafting, there are many kinds of pastries in Jiuzhi Zhai, there are more than 100 kinds, and according to the season, special pastries are introduced, there is a saying of "spring cake summer cake, autumn crisp and winter sugar".

In the busy street, the carriage walked very slowly, and I saw people queuing in front of Jiuzhi Hall from afar.

The coachman drove the carriage aside, and Bizhu got out of the carriage first, and then helped Minglan down.

The little servant waited aside, Bizhu took a piece of paper and handed it to him, and said, "Buy it according to the paper, and after sending it back, let Manager Li send it to each room according to what is written on the paper, don't make a mistake." ”

Since it is to be sent, except for the old lady, all other rooms must be missing.

Minglan didn't give much, three kinds of pastries per room, of course, she bought five for Gu Yunlan and Brother Mao to taste.

Buying so many pastries, the little guys were surprised, the price of the pastries in Jiuzhizhai was the same, a piece of eight coins of silver, the amount of different types was slightly different, but the difference was not very big.

Yes, the money given to the little guy is a fixed amount, and he is rewarded with two dollars of silver, and the happy little guy can't close his mouth.

After rewarding the little girl, there was no shortage of the coachman's share, and said, "Just guard here, I will accompany the girl to the front for a turn, and then go to Suzaku Street in a while." ”

The coachman is even more happy, usually they rarely get a reward, and the second girl is generous.

No one followed, so Minglan and Bizhu walked forward, walking as they went, but they didn't buy anything, and went straight to Jinxiufang, which was the purpose of Minglan's going out.

In the splendid workshop, there are all kinds of embroidery, lifelike, and the guests who come to choose are full of praise.

Seeing Minglan coming in, a young man greeted him and said, "What kind of embroidery does the girl want to choose?"

Minglan was looking at the picture of a hundred flowers, and Bizhu said, "My girl doesn't buy embroidery, she wants to find an embroidery girl to customize." ”

When the young man saw it, he hurriedly said, "That girl, please." ”

Minglan followed the young man into the inner hall.

Soon, a woman came over, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, graceful, neatly dressed, saw Minglan, looked up and down, and said with a smile, "What a noble girl, I don't know what kind of embroidery to customize?"

This woman is Chen Xiuniang, and she is also the proprietress of Jinxiufang.

Bizhu handed her the painting, Chen Xiuniang opened it and looked at it, and her eyes showed appreciation, "What a delicate mind!"

Minglan smiled lightly, "Can you finish the embroidery in a month?"

Chen Xiuniang showed her embarrassment, "Double-sided embroidery is difficult to embroider, and the girl's painting is so big, a month is very tight." ”

"Money is not an issue. ”

As soon as she heard this, Chen Xiuniang smiled even more, "This painting must be embroidered well, and it will definitely not work without five hundred taels, and it is this kind of special embroidery, and you have to pay a deposit of seventy percent." ”

General embroidery, if the customer does not want it in the end, can also be sold.

Minglan is this kind of special, if she doesn't want it, Jinxiufang will smash her hands, and she will lose a lot, so the deposit will be higher.

Ming Lan understood this very well, did not bargain, and instructed Bi Zhu to say, "Give her four hundred taels." ”

Bizhu handed the silver ticket to Chen Xiuniang, Chen Xiuniang took the silver ticket, invited Minglan to drink tea, went to open a list, and said, "Today next month, the girl will pick up the embroidery with the ticket." ”

Coming out of the splendid workshop, Minglan continued to move forward, this time, she bought what she liked, and soon, Bizhu hugged a bunch of them, and she couldn't see the road, she said, "Girl, you can't buy it anymore, we don't have much money." ”

Originally, I only left more than 1,000 taels, and I spent 500 taels in order to prepare a birthday gift for the old lady.
