Chapter 127: Acquaintances

The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and the night market will be held for three nights in a row. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, it was just over the time of Shen, and the street was already set up, kneading clay people, people blowing candy, picking up burdens to sell bean maids and calamus, setting up stalls to sell zongzi and selling mugwort cakes, and a platform was set up in an open space to dance Zhong Kui. The shop that specializes in seasonal gifts put out five yellow and five white gift boxes, and set up a guy at the door to shout and attract customers.

Bustling and lively.

Mulan was worried about buying some bean ladies and going back to distribute them, so she asked Heshou to go to the car in front of her to say hello to Mrs. An.

Mrs. An had been in the barracks, and she had some alcohol. Later, when he entered the nunnery, he quit drinking, and he only drank a glass or two of vegetarian wine on festivals. Over the years, the amount of alcohol has not been as good as before. At today's banquet, people drank two more cups, and their heads were a little drowsy, and they were leaning on the seat of the car to recuperate.

Hearing Heshou's report, he didn't even bother to open his eyes, and instructed Hongyu: "It's hard to come out, ask her to go shopping, let's go back first." The street on the left and right is not far from the house, so just leave a few more people to take care of it. ”

Hongyu wanted to say that it was inappropriate when she heard the first sentence, but Mrs. An blocked her mouth in the latter sentence as if she had guessed what she was going to say. I couldn't say anything against it, so I answered "yes", poked my head out of the car and ordered, and told Heshou carefully, "Follow the girl, go back quickly, don't delay too long outside." ”

At last he took out a bulging money bag and told her to buy the girl more delicious and interesting things.

Heshou responded one by one, and ran back with the money bag to show Mulan to know.

Mulan originally just wanted to stop and buy a few bean maids, but she didn't expect Mrs. An to allow her to go shopping. She has been in the capital for a long time, and she has never gone shopping. I was so happy that I simply stopped taking the car.

He took all the hairpins on his head and the rings on his body, handed them to Danlu to keep, put on his hat and got out of the car. The black gauze hung down from head to toe, covering it tightly, and when you walked, you could only see a hem of the skirt.

The more lively the place, the more stealing children, Danlu and Heshou also went to the hairpin ring, each wrapped their faces with a headscarf, only showing their two eyes, and followed Mulan on the left and right.

Which one of the common street businesses is not sophisticated? I couldn't see the dress, just saw Mulan leading the girl with the guard, and I knew that this was a girl from a rich and powerful family. didn't wait for him to come to him, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Mulan first stopped in front of a stall selling bean maids, and the bean maids that were put out to sell were not as delicate as those made in the house, and they were eclectic and full of wild fun. She couldn't wear it at home, so she asked Danlu and Heshou to pick up what they liked.

Because they bought a lot, the stall owner even gave the flower basket of the bean lady. The flower basket is made of fine bamboo strips, with a big belly and a small mouth, and it is very delicately braided. There is no need to look for anything to load, and leave it to the guards who follow behind.

I bought a damselfly and a kite, and I also picked out some crepe flowers with novel styles and meticulous workmanship. There are still most people selling food on the street, and Mulan has just finished eating the birthday banquet, and she is afraid that the open air will not be clean, so she does not buy it.

Danlu and Heshou are not interested in eating, and they specialize in selling rouge and gouache and other stalls. This time, the capital is fashionable colored yarn and streamers, comb the hair bun, wrap a circle of colored yarn or decorate a few streamers, so that the wind blows, and the light is very eye-catching.

The girls of large families think these are frivolous, and they rarely wear them. Ordinary girls can't afford to wear gold, silver and jade jewelry, so they are very fond of this cheap and beautiful thing. spread to the house, and also got the blue eyes of the girls.

Because there is no male owner in the Guogong Mansion, the access control is stricter than that of other houses, and the girl is not allowed to go out easily, and she is not allowed to sell flowers and the merchant inside and outside the door, and there is nowhere to change if you want to change.

Mulan saw that Danlu was pinching a handful of streamers and couldn't put it down, so she asked Heshou to take out a handful of copper coins and buy some of them.

I should have paid for these by myself, but Mulan understood that they didn't have much money a month, so she bought them when she saw that they liked it. Danlu was grateful, and said to Mulan that he would buy some colored threads and Ge cloth to go back, and embroider some for her to wipe her sweat on weekdays.

Mulan has been soaking in medicated baths, insisting on exercising every day, and sweating a lot in the summer. Silk handkerchiefs can't be washed out if they are stained with sweat, and it's okay to use them with clothes when you go out or meet guests, but it's a waste to wipe sweat.

She didn't think the silk handkerchief was useful, so she asked Ruixi to help her cut some cotton cloth. Ruixi checked in the library for a long time, turned out a plain brocade cotton, mixed with fine silk, warp and weft overlapped, weaving a natural pattern, more expensive than pure silk.

She is the only descendant of the Guogong Mansion, which one is not expensive for food and clothing? Ordinary people's cotton and linen will no longer be sent to her yard.

I asked Hongyu for a time, and Hongyu immediately asked the needle and thread to take the fine arrowroot cloth and cut out dozens of square handkerchiefs and send them over, with flowers and birds on them, full of embroidered patterns. As soon as it is said that the girl wants to use it, who dares not to care?

After this time, she didn't want the finished product in the needlework room, but only asked for Ge Bu, and asked Danlu to cut it, and lock it and use it.

Anyway, he is the young master of a house, and it is too cold to use such a veil. When Danlu locked the edge, he tied a pattern on the corner, a simple flower and a leaf, which won Mulan's favor.

The Supa sold outside are all cut, and the kudzu cloth used is not as good as the one in the house, and the texture is not so fine, but more breathable and absorbent.

Danlu is an expert in this regard, and Mulan has nothing to do. I bought 100 square meters in one go, and gave an additional 10 square meters, which is much cheaper than cutting the kudzu cloth in the house. Go back and wash it and tie a pattern to use, and it will be much easier.

After buying the handkerchief, I went to a shop called "Strange Treasure Pavilion", which specializes in selling some strange things, some from all over the world, and some from other countries.

Mulan wanted to find the compass, but after looking around, she didn't see anything similar to the compass, but she fell in love with a bottle. I don't know what material it is, it looks like jade and not jade, like stone and not stone, it looks like a Buddha's hand, it is said to be naturally formed, and it has not been artificially carved. There is an ebony base underneath, and there is a sense of Zen in the simplicity.

She wanted to give it to Mrs. An, but after asking the price, she thought it was not expensive, so she bought it.

After settling and about to leave, a person walked in outside the door, about forty years old, with white skin and white skin, and a long beard on his chin, smooth and shiny. The men inside and outside the door bowed down in unison, calling the shopkeeper.

Mulan was stunned when she glanced over, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.

Seeing her standing still, Dan Lu gently touched her, "Girl, it's time to go." ”

Mulan took a deep breath and walked out.

The shopkeeper smiled and avoided the side, and sent her off with his companions, "Distinguished guests go slowly, and I hope to visit more in the future." ”

Mulan had already stepped out of the door with one foot, paused again, suddenly turned around, and looked at the shopkeeper Han through the black veil, "You are the shopkeeper of this family?" I have something to ask, can you find a quiet place to light? ”
