Chapter 10: Not Afraid of Death
Feng Yuqing wanted to see her best friend, but since she didn't take the initiative to come to the door, she naturally wouldn't ask someone to go to her house with the princess's shelf. She didn't look at the two mansions, nor did she see anything elegant or special, and directly asked people on the street in the south of the city.
He Zhi was no stranger to this, and took Xi Qiu to the appointment without saying a word. Feng Yuqing has been married for more than three years, and most of the time she stays in the fiefdom with King Qing, and she only has the opportunity to return to Beijing once a year at most. But when she returned to Beijing in the past two or three times, no matter what happened later, the place where she first met He Zhi must have been on the streets of the capital.
Whether it is the east of the city where dignitaries live, or the bustling and lively south of the city, or the west of the city where ordinary people live, it is a place that has never been to before, Feng Yuqing is also willing to take a look around, and the beautiful name says: Look at the changes in the capital in the past year.
The place Feng Yuqing chose this year is Chengnan, but when it comes to it, only Chengnan is worth seeing. Because the layout level and function division of the capital are particularly clear, there is almost no possibility of change in several other places, and only the place in the south of the city where merchants gather and bazaars are everywhere will be in change from time to time. This is the only place that is truly suitable for shopping.
He Shangshu's mansion is naturally located in the east of the city, and the sedan chair drivers carried the sedan chair around several streets before finally arriving in the south of the city. He Zhi sat in the sedan chair and didn't even need to open the sedan curtain to see, as soon as the small sedan chair crossed the dividing line between the east and south of the city, the outside became lively. The sound of pedestrians talking, the shouting of small vendors, and the bargaining of buyers and sellers are endless.
After a while, He Zhi's sedan chair stopped in front of a teahouse. Xi Qiu had been following the sedan chair before, and at this time he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain and said, "Miss, Mingxiangju has arrived." ”
He Zhi nodded, got up and walked down from the sedan chair. But before she and Xi Qiu entered the gate of the Mingxiangju, they raised their eyes and saw Feng Yuqing with two maids and a few guards coming over, and when they saw her, they smiled: "You are late today, and the post has been sent for more than an hour." ”
Feng Yuqing has always been in a hurry, although she has restrained a lot after becoming Princess Qing, she naturally shows her old friends to get along with her original appearance. In the past, she sent invitations to He Zhi, and there was also an appointment in a hurry, and He Zhi would come to the appointment in half an hour at the earliest, but now that it took an hour, she also complained jokingly.
He Zhi smiled, but didn't answer the words, only said, "Where do you want to go today?" ”
Feng Yuqing naturally stepped forward, and then took the initiative to hold He Zhi's arm, raised his hand casually and said, "Since you have made an appointment here, you will naturally go to this street first." I remember that we liked to go to the agarwood pavilion in front of us to buy rouge gouache, but now I haven't been here for so long, and I don't know what new colors are in the store. ”
Naturally, shopping is interesting with two or three friends, but apart from Feng Yuqing, He Zhi doesn't have a few sincere friends. She was impatient to deal with those impure people, let alone make an appointment to go shopping together, because Feng Yuqing had been gone for a year, and she hadn't gone shopping a few times, so Feng Yuqing mentioned it at this time, and she happily went together.
Agarwood Pavilion is a time-honored brand in the capital, and most of the ladies and ladies in Beijing who have some identities are also using her family's rouge gouache. As soon as Feng Yuqing pulled He Zhi into the store, she met two young ladies with maids, but at this time, they were in one place and were picking rouge, and there was a guy standing next to them.
As soon as another guest entered the door, another idle man also greeted him: "What do you need two young ladies?" ”
Feng Yuqing married King Qing early, and at this time, she was dressed as a woman, and it was inappropriate to call her "Miss". But He Zhi next to her looked about the same age as her, but she was dressed as an unmarried girl, and the two looked like friends. If they were called each other, but it was embarrassing, then the guy simply called him Miss, which also made Feng Yuqing quite satisfied.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, so let's take out all the new things in this store first." The feudal kings with fiefs have always been not short of money, and Feng Yuqing's eyes swept into the store, and it was a posture of wealth and wealth.
At this time, the two who picked the rouge looked over, but probably because they were too young, Feng Yuqing had been away from Beijing for several years, but they didn't know each other, and they both had two points of contempt for the nouveau riche in their eyes. When they turned their eyes and saw He Zhi standing aside, the disdain in their eyes was even worse - they obviously knew He Zhi, and they had heard of He Zhi's not-so-good reputation.
He Zhi didn't care about these things for a long time. Over the years, she has seen this kind of gaze in the dark, and if she also takes these people's eyes and gossip to heart, I'm afraid she won't be able to live her life.
Feng Yuqing is different, although she knew that He Zhi was affected by that gossip, but her straight temper couldn't bear it. At that moment, his face sank, and he shouted at the two people: "What do you see? What's there to see! ”
Obviously, Feng Yuqing is not the only one who has a violent temper. The two young ladies probably also have some identities, and when they saw her so polite, they were immediately annoyed, and one of them said mockingly: "It's nothing to look at, a nouveau riche, a Kefu ghost, if you look at it twice, it will not only hurt your eyes, but I'm afraid that you will be unlucky......
Wei Lai listened to the phrase "Kefu ghost" and stepped into the door of the Agarwood Pavilion. She paused a little when she entered the door, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of He Zhi standing aside, and at the same time, she was inexplicably a little uncomfortable.
Wei Lai will come to this Agarwood Pavilion, naturally not to buy any rouge gouache, she doesn't need it herself, and there is no one to send. She was pulled in by He Lin, and the group was just passing by after drinking, but He Lin looked at the store and suddenly wanted to bring a box of rouge back to his sister at home. A group of rough men were naturally not interested in these, and none of them were willing to accompany He Lin to go in and pick them, so they were all waiting outside the door, so Wei Lai, who had always been good-tempered, was dragged in by He Lin......
"Miss, it's the person I saw on the boat that day." When Xi Qiu saw Wei Lai, he immediately leaned into He Zhi's ear and muttered. Since she was specially asked by her wife, she can be regarded as remembering this "passer-by" clearly.
When Pingshui met, Wei Lai remembered her because He Zhi's eyes remembered, but unexpectedly, the little maid next to the other party still remembered herself? After Wei Lai, who was deaf and clear-sighted, heard Xi Qiu's muttering, he only felt surprised, and he couldn't help but look over there twice.
He Zhi actually remembered Wei Lai, the two met in Pingshui that day, but they remembered it for some reason. This book is nothing, but Xi Qiu specially reminded that sentence, but it inexplicably made her feel a little embarrassed. Especially as soon as she raised her head later, she met the other party's gaze, and that gaze always made her feel that the other party had also heard what Xi Qiu had just said.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment, until He Lin pulled Wei Lai's sleeve and whispered, "Xiao Wei, what are you staring at?" Don't you fall in love with someone else? ”
From the moment the two of them entered the door, Xu was worried about the face problem, and Feng Yuqing and the others stopped arguing. At this time, the store was quiet, and although the voice of Ehorin was not loud, it also reached everyone's ears.
Wei Lai's face turned red with a "swish", and he couldn't say whether it was embarrassment or anything else. He Zhi also tilted her head slightly and looked away, looking a little uncomfortable.
When Feng Yuqing heard this, she immediately moved her gaze to Wei Lai, and there was a clear scrutiny in her gaze. The young lady who had quarreled with her before opened her mouth again at this time, still full of ridicule: "Fancy her? You're so bold, but you're not afraid of death! ”
When the words fell, except for He Lin, whose faces were ugly.
