Seeing that the young lady was sitting at the table and was about to clean up her things, Ruizhu wanted to speak and stopped, but after thinking about it, the young lady has been staying in the house these days, and I am afraid that it will be boring.

And it's a good day today, it's very warm outside, so I don't have to worry about the wind, so I put my mind at ease and stepped forward to help Miss take care of it.

Don't think about gold and silver jewelry, it has long been looted by the mother-in-law who rushed into Tanfu to raid the house, Ruizhu wanted to use the broken silver obtained from the gold leaf to find a silversmith to give Miss a few rough silver hairpins to exchange, but Miss said no, only let her buy a few wooden hairpins, rough farmer handmade goods with three taels of copper plates in the market, used to fix her hair.

The room was quiet, only when Rui Zhu walked, the sound of clothes rubbing, Tan Wanqing, who sat there and asked Rui Xiang to help pull her hair, had no mirror available, so she only picked up a wooden hairpin on the table, and measured it quietly without saying a word, although she did not paint any rouge gouache on her body, but it had a very good smell of warm fragrance, this is the body fragrance that Miss was born with, smelling such a familiar aroma, doing such a familiar thing, if it was not for the fact that she was now in this ordinary low-door house, Rui Zhu actually had a moment, as if she had returned to the illusion of Tanfu.

But it was only a blink of effort before he came to his senses.

Looking at the rough rustic blue and colored coarse cloth scarf tied on the young lady's head, and most of the hair was hidden in the corners, it looked more and more the same as the peasant women in the market, Ruizhu felt a sullen feeling in her heart, puffed up her cheeks, and finally broke the quiet atmosphere after enduring it for a long time.

"Miss." She sighed.

Tan Wanqing looked sideways at her.

"I see those poor people in Fang City, they all dress up well when they go out, even ordinary women can pull flowers on their heads with a coarse cloth, but let's dress up ugly ......"

Although she knew in her heart that it was right to be so careful, there was still an indescribable grievance in her heart, and she suddenly felt that the old towel wrapped around the young lady's head should be thrown into the pit instead of being made into a turban, so pickled.

Tan Wanzhu turned her head, picked up a wooden hairpin again, looked at the plum blossom pattern carved on it, and said lightly in a light voice that only she could hear, "Because of our identity, because they are civilians, we are Qin criminals." ”

"Ruizhu, you forgot again."

One sentence extinguished Ruizhu's worthlessness and grievances, and there was no longer a trace of smoke, yes, they were guilty people, not only Qin criminals, but also fugitives, how could Ruizhu dare to have other words, wiped the corners of his eyes, and his subordinates quickly fixed the wooden hairpin in his hair.

Who doesn't miss their glory and wealth, the more inferior their status is, the more so, the Tan family has had an accident in less than two months now, such a disparity in identity and environment, no one can stand it, in fact, Ruizhu has done a good job.

When the two went out, there was a small blue sedan chair at the door of the house next to them, a beautiful woman and two maids walked out of it, the woman looked only twenty-three or four years old, her face and lips were rouge and flushed, she was wearing a cherry blossom red cardigan snow Luo long coat, with a Lingbo skirt underneath, and the red and bright pomegranate embroidered shoes on her feet were slightly exposed.

Her eyes looked up and down the two of them, turned into the cyan sedan chair, and the two maids closed the door and followed behind the sedan chair.

The woman in the sedan chair was holding a small bronze mirror with a carved flower to look at her makeup, and used a handkerchief to point the rouge on her lips, and straightened the red gold pearl pendants on both sides of the ear beads. ”

The maid hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "I heard that I only moved here a few days ago, and I rented the house next to us." ”

The woman frowned and muttered disapnosively, "How can anyone move in?" It can be seen that it is not a good house, and after a while, you will be clever in the place, and ask for a conversation, I will mention it to the old man, and see if we can move to East Street, that is a good place. After saying that, he put the curtain down.

The maid pouted outside, of course East Street is a good place, a good place for rich and powerful men to live.

Ruizhu here also pouted, "Does Miss know who lives in the courtyard next to us?" A small merchant is kept in the outer room of the unsightly outside, and I think I am a lady from a good family, and I am still a maid in a sedan chair, and I really laugh at the dead. ”

"If we had known that there was such a person living here, we wouldn't have rented this house, it didn't make people think that we had the same identity as her, and we were three points shorter."

"Who are we?" Tan Wanqing replied softly, and deliberately emphasized the two words of identity.

Rui Zhu hurriedly looked around subconsciously, and when he saw no one, he reluctantly raised his hand and whispered to his young lady for mercy: "I know, do you know that it's not okay, miss!" Ruizhu was a little frustrated, of course she knew her identity, and knew that she and Miss couldn't afford to offend anyone now.

Tan Wanqing smiled and pulled her hand, "Look, reminding you every day also has the benefit of reminding you every day, and you are doing a good job now." ”

It is said that it is a square market, in fact, it is a trade bazaar, covering an area of a hundred-meter alley street, just located in the middle of the two houses and crowds, and separated by two main streets of the north and south streets, although it is not as spacious and bright as the south street, various hotels, inns, delicatessen, pawnshops, rice shops, miscellaneous shops and other shops are readily available.

It is also not like other Dafang City all kinds of cattle, sheep, horses, furs, groceries and other business bulk trading.

But the lively Cheng dù is especially good.

Because it is close to North Street, the order is better than other places, there are no thieves and ruffians, and there are customers from the surrounding two residential areas.

The two of them only half a quarter of the foot, then arrived at the market, people come and go, different accents, looking at the clothing and goods, it should be the military households or ordinary people outside the city of Wei'an, pick up some of the family's agricultural products, or hunting wild things into the city to set up stalls, there are also some merchants carrying needles, threads, brains, scissors, spoons and small groceries to sell here.

Although there are no shops, all of them are small stalls, and the goods are miscellaneous, but the price is affordable, you can often buy cheap fresh goods, there are a lot of people rushing to the market, and even some soldiers have to sit in the wine stall empty, drink a few bowls of rice wine brewed by the farmer, and laugh loudly and comfortably.

These soldiers actually gave money after drinking, which frightened some wine dealers, and later learned that it was Lord Xie's military order, all the soldiers defending the city, they had to pay silver for buying things, and they were not allowed to bully the civilians in the city. ”

It was precisely because Ruizhu had seen it these days and knew that it was quite safe here, so she agreed to bring the young lady here, and she didn't have to worry secretly because her face was not painted with black ash from the bottom of the furnace.

The two of them walked all the way and looked, and actually saw a seller passing on the jade bracelet, although the jade quality is not the best, but the selling price is indeed much cheaper than the jewelry store, of course, it is still higher than the pawnshop, there are many heart-warming women around to watch, and I don't know who bought it back in the end.

Tan Wanqing looked carefully while walking, Rui Zhu said excitedly next to her, in the past, when Tan Mansion was in the past, what was needed in the house, just pass a word, the shopkeepers of the major shops in the capital personally came to the door and sent a smile on her face to let the lady and lady of the house choose at will, at that time she didn't care about these materials and jewelry, they were all purchased by Rui Zhu, and now this Rui Zhu, who has dealt with the big shopkeeper countless times, actually chattered non-stop while disgusting in a people's bazaar, and the excitement on her face was difficult to hide.

But they were all bargains of ten or eight copper coins, but she was much happier than she was back then.

Afraid of being dispersed, Rui Zhu held Miss's hand tightly, and Miss's hand also held her, the two were like sisters, talking and laughing, sometimes stopping to see some folk handicrafts that had never been seen in the capital, and praised endlessly.

When passing by a deserted grocery stall, Tan Wanqing stopped, there were some groceries in the stall, and a bunch of paper fans used in summer.

The vendor probably bought too many fans in the summer, and he was short of money, so he took them out and sold them cheaply.

Originally, a white-faced fan of eight or nine cents was sold, but now it is sold for five cents, Tan Wanqing squatted down and picked up a handful and looked at it, the workmanship is rough, and the paper on the fan surface is not good, the overall can only be said to be average, and both sides are white, without any embellishment, and the blank is very.

"Why don't you buy some fans with inscriptions and pictures and sell them?" She asked, looking at it for a moment.

The peddler was listless, and when he saw someone asking, he said casually, "This is the price of white noodles, buy it back to your own question, or find someone to paint it, if you want to sell a fan with good calligraphy and painting, the price is expensive, and the pen fee for a poor scholar is more than two taels, if the painting is not good and cannot be sold, it will all be smashed in my hands, I am just a small business, I can't afford to spend this money." ”

"Girl, do you fancy this white-faced fan?" The peddler didn't have much energy, but when he noticed the woman in front of him who asked the fan, he saw that she lowered her head and looked at her clothes inconspicuously, but when she asked, she naturally raised her head to look at him, and the hawker immediately shook his eyelids, sat up for a while, and secretly said in his heart, he had never seen such a beautiful beauty, or so close to each other, he stammered involuntarily when he spoke.

"Aunt, if the girl takes a fancy to me, I can give you a cheap price, how about a handful of four, four wen?" After speaking, he immediately picked up a handful, "This one doesn't cost money, give it away, give it to the girl." ”

"Poof......" Ruizhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the vendor staring at the young lady next to him, but when he saw the vendor with a big red face and stammering, he really looked like a big horse monkey, and he couldn't help laughing.

The young lady immediately turned back to look at her with a displeased expression, and she quickly lowered her head and closed her mouth.

"No need, you can count these fans and wrap them together, I want them." Tan Wanqing turned around and said.

Rui Zhu thought that the young lady was just asking, but she thought that she would really buy it, so she couldn't help but whisper in surprise: "This ...... So much, who are you going to sell it to? "And this white-faced fan, obviously not so easy to sell, how can ordinary farmers buy this, not strong and not durable, that is, women use more mesh, this kind of paper fan is used by men, or there are students in the family, and scholarly doors, but it is so rough, many people will dislike it.

"The inscription is for calligraphy and painting to sell." Tan Wanqing replied.

Rui Zhu wanted to say something, but closed her mouth again.

Although it is a crude system, but in the coming year, five dollars are absolutely not available, and as long as the inscription on some simple calligraphy and painting, these white noodles will immediately come alive, thirty or fifty Wen may not be easy to sell, but twenty Wen is always someone to buy it, at this time only need to pay more than 100 yuan, next summer, you can earn half a tael of silver, very easy to buy and sell, if you sell better, you can earn a little more.

It's a pity that there is no income in a short period of time, and it will take half a year to wait, for Tan Wanqing now, silver is an imminent matter, which is directly related to the future lives of her and Ruizhu.
