Chapter 18: Notes on South Street (1)
Fortunately, the work of cleaning up the mess was finally handed over to the third-class maids, and it was none of their business. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She was lying on the bed and suddenly a little resentful, Pei's idea was really peculiar, she was afraid that the low-level maids would make a mistake when they served on the table, so she directly pulled the big maids from each courtyard to do these dishes and dishes, in her previous life, she was socializing outside, but none of them acted like this.
But he thought about it complainingly, and after lying down for a while, he got up to see if Zhao Qingyi came back. As soon as she got out of the ear room, she saw a head poking out of the window of the opposite room, and Zhishu waved at her. Seeing this, she approached the room.
"I asked the girl when I came back just now, and the girl said that she would come back after lunch at Mrs. 's, and you can go and rest without us having to wait." Zhishu smiled, and her face also showed a very tired look, she was also tired today.
Yi Ying smiled and thanked him, and seeing that it was still a long time before dinner, he turned around and went back to the house to sleep.
After sleeping for an hour and a half, Zhao Qingyi came back, and she served tea on the side. Zhao Qingyi is about to get married in a year, and she has already begun to embroider the dowry, and after embroidering under the lamp for an hour and a half, she is ready to sleep. Yiying beckoned the maid in the courtyard to fetch water and wash her, while she and Zhishu helped remove her makeup and hair, and after working for half an hour, she finally waited for her to go to bed to rest.
Yiying returned to the ear room, washed up briefly, and fell asleep, ending this busy and tired day. She slept well and didn't dream of Xu Xian, who frightened her during the day.
When he got up the next day, Münse Curie began to go home one after another to visit his family. According to the rules, it is true that the rest starts from the middle of each month, and the rules of the Zhao Mansion are that the eldest girl takes two days off, one and a half days for the second class, one and a half days for the third class, and half a day for the third class. Mothers' leave is another set of rules, and there are only two mothers-in-law in the kitchen in Minse Curie, so they are counted according to the third class.
Yiying only went back not long ago, and it was considered sick leave, so she didn't cancel her rotation this time. Most of the people in Minse Curie returned home a month ago. It is said to be a family visit, but there are not many relatives in the house, most of them are family children, and those bought from outside, many of them were sold or abducted by their parents, and they don't even know where their parents are, so they don't have to visit any relatives, just a chance to go out and shop.
first Zhishu returned home, then Yiying, and then the second and third ranks.
Yiying is still very happy to be able to go home again, firstly, she dislikes the atmosphere of the Zhao Mansion more and more, and secondly, about the matter of the jade pendant, it is still not advisable to delay, it is good to try and test the Qin family as soon as possible, and now this vacation is an opportunity.
The evening before her shift, Zhishu returned. She thanked Zhao Qingyi for her kindness, and went home in a carriage with a mother in the house.
When they got home, the three of them were there, and they were all very happy to see her back, and Yiying took the opportunity to propose to the Qin family to go to the morning market together tomorrow. Although the Qin family often went out to buy, it was more than half a year ago when he went out with his daughter, and he immediately happily agreed.
In the early morning of the second day, Yi Ying and Qin got up early to freshen up.
Yiying wore a light purple top, a goose yellow pleated skirt, jet-black hair tied into a fallen horse bun, and a pair of apricot blossom golden hairpins inserted into the bun, revealing the brightness and liveliness of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
The Qin family wore a big red treasure vase with dark pattern makeup and flowers, and a pair of gold-inlaid blue jade double happiness hairpins were inserted in Lingyun's bun, and his bearing was calm.
"Although it is the clothes and jewelry that my wife appreciates, I can wear it on my mother's body, and I really look like a rich wife." Yi Ying looked at the Qin clan carefully and couldn't help but admire.
"Poor mouth", Qin Shi glanced at her with a smile, but she was very useful in her heart, and a happy look appeared on her face.
The Qin family has always been kind and generous, smiling all day long, and never accounting for small things, so although he is over thirty, he still looks like a lady of twenty-seven or eight, with fair skin and amiable views.
Such a beautiful person, she never wanted to see her sad and sighing again. Yiying secretly made up her mind.
"Mother, you can help me get the pair of jade earrings in my room." Yi Ying looked at the dressing mirror in Qin's room and combed her hair one by one.
Zhou Chi seems to be very busy these days, and he even got up earlier than their mother and daughter, but his brother is still asleep at this time. Yiying's room was cramped, so she made up in her adoptive mother's room.
Hearing this, the Qin clan smiled and turned around and went to the Yiying room.
Yiying put down the comb and her eyes flashed.
After a while, the Qin clan came back with a pair of emerald green earrings. Yiying didn't put it on, but walked to Qin's side and carefully helped her put it on.
"These earrings are so nice to dress you."
Qin Shi was stunned, and Shaoqing patted Yiying's hand with emotion.
She said a few words to Zhou Lang, who was still in a half-asleep state, Zhou Lang answered vaguely, she shook her head helplessly, and went out with Yiying.
This time, they went to the most prosperous South Street in Beijing.
South Street is a mix of fish and dragons, there are vendors selling baked cakes, craftsmen making clay people and sugar gourds, noodle stalls with incense spread for ten miles, and rice shops, restaurants, embroidery buildings and jewelry shops that occupy almost half of the street.
Therefore, there may be beggars with no long things, as well as brothers and young ladies of wealthy families.
Because they hadn't had breakfast yet, Qin and Yiying first found a noodle stall with a good business and ate a bowl of noodles and some snacks.
After eating, they began to walk along the street from shop to shop.
The advanced is an embroidery building. There are two floors in the embroidery building, the first floor mainly has a wide variety of patterns, delicate and small embroidery screens, and some less expensive clothes satin, the second floor is carefully placed with all kinds of precious clothes, and there are three or four exquisite ready-to-wear clothes hung on the wall.
She and Qin walked around the first floor, and didn't see anything agreeable, so they went up to the second floor together. There was a young man waiting at the staircase on the second floor.
The young man looked at them for a moment, and stepped forward with a smile to instruct: "Mrs. and Miss are here, please." The two couldn't help but smile at each other.
"I wonder if you two want to see some silk or ready-to-wear?" The young man asked as he walked back.
"It's satin, and there are too few ready-to-wear styles." Qin said with a smile.
"Then you're in for a coincidence. We have just entered a batch of new goods in the embroidery building, there are peacock Luo, silk pattern Luo, gold satin, through the back satin, as well as Shu brocade and woven gold brocade, all are bright colors, soft and comfortable, smooth texture, you see, which one is most suitable for you? The man had walked over to a shelf of various silks and introduced them to them.
Yi Ying also stepped forward and stared at a brocade horse carefully. It is a woven gold brocade, carefully look at its gold line flowers, but also see the change of twill, the main pattern is the phoenix eye group flower, wear the branch lotus to supplement it, the lines are smooth, gorgeous and brilliant, it is really a fine product.
Qin Shi also walked over to take a closer look, and couldn't help but exhale in admiration: "This material is really good." And he was embarrassed: "It must be very expensive to think about it, and we must not dress so conspicuously in the house, let's look at something else." "I want to persuade Yiying.
Yi Ying Zhanyan smiled, she didn't take a fancy to this satin, she had a cabinet full of clothes that were much more expensive than this in her previous life, she was just thinking that if the Qin family wore it, it would definitely look good.
However, although they can afford such clothes now, they are too extravagant, so they didn't glance at it again at the moment, and followed the Qin family to see other materials.
Qin's face was a little ashamed, and he patted Yiying's hand, and stopped talking.
"The material just looks good, but it doesn't fit on me, I'm just looking at it." Yi Ying smiled and took Qin's hand.
Only then did the Qin family put their minds at ease, and together with their daughter, they picked out a lake blue Hangzhou silk full of flowers and a primrose-colored woven colored satin with dark patterns, and took it away when they could come back.
As soon as I walked out of the gate of the embroidery building, I heard a commotion.
