Chapter 34: Rouge to a Pretty Girl
87_87438 The two of them got off the horse and led the horse to line up behind the crowd.
It was morning, and there were quite a few people entering the city. In front of them was a middle-aged woman who had collapsed a basket of vegetables, and Shouxin heard her chatting with another woman in front of her, apparently going into the city to sell vegetables.
On the outskirts of the city, there are some rich and noble families who buy Zhuangzi, and there are also some ordinary villagers, who occasionally sell their vegetables into the city to make some extra money.
In the past, the guarded temperament would not pay attention to these people, but now, she listened to the two women chatting with great interest. Because of such an ordinary person's life, she doesn't know if she can enjoy it in her life.
Soon, it was their turn.
The soldiers defending the city looked the two of them up and down, and saw that they had nothing else than a horse, so they didn't say anything and let them into the city.
The Imperial City is really extraordinary, much more prosperous than Feicheng.
Shouxin was soon affected by this lively atmosphere, and his mood was much better. How many girls of her age don't like to be lively?
Seeing that she was happy, the defender also curled the corners of his lips.
However, after being happy for a while, this prosperous imperial city made Shouxin dumbfounded. She didn't know the road at all, Huang Zhenwei gave her a map before, but she didn't have time to look at it yet.
"What's wrong?" The guard had been watching her silently, and when he saw her bitter face, he asked hurriedly.
"On the defensive, I don't know the road, do you know it? Have you seen the map? Shouxin lowered his voice and asked the defensive.
"Huh...... I was worried about this, but don't worry, I know the way. "The defense has always been very diligent, and he has already read the map, although he has not finished reading it, but he has long memorized the map of the imperial city and the palace.
"Fortunately, you know the way, it seems that I will go back later, and I will go to see it." Shouxin muttered to herself, and now that Shoufu was locked up and no one was bothering her in the room, of course she had to take a closer look at it, and quickly memorized the map above. She felt that she was really too playful at this moment, if Yi Xun took them directly into the palace, she didn't even know the terrain, wouldn't it be a big mistake?
"By the way, keep your heart, when you look at the map, you must look at it quietly, and don't let others find out." The guard suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly reminded Shouxin.
"Huh?" Shouxin blinked in confusion, does the map still have to be read behind people's backs?
"That map, Senior Brother Huang only gave you and me, and even if others have maps, they should be different from you and mine. I don't know if you've noticed, but some of the locations on the map are marked, and I found that the underground secret passage we walked in Feicheng that day was in its markings. Come to think of it, you and I can follow the master through the secret path, which is to gain absolute trust, as for others, the master should have other arrangements. "The defensive situation is analyzed, and the guard heart immediately understands.
"I see, thank you Senior Brother on the Guard for reminding me."
In fact, Huang Zhenwei didn't specifically remind them that the map could not be seen by others, but also because of their cleverness. And on that day, Shoucai was also there, but he didn't give the map to Shoucai.
The defensiveness had always been cautious, and he had thought of it when he noticed that their secret passage was marked on the map.
Presumably, the guard heart is much more immature. Although he has lived one life longer than him, he has only a little more modern knowledge.
"Alright, now let's go shopping, and tell me what you want to buy."
"I said I had more money than you, hehe!" Shouxin took out his purse and shook it in front of the guard.
When I looked at the defensive position, it was really more than just two taels of silver, and then I figured it out. The master is so guarded, and it is not strange that he gave her money in private. He joked: "It turns out that the little junior sister is so rich!" You'll have a treat for a while! ”
"No problem." She patted her purse proudly, she didn't care about spending money, she was now a high-risk occupation, and once she started working, she didn't know if she still had her life. Why should she have money in her pocket and not spend it?
Although Hua Yixun's silver is a little embarrassed now, she will also work for him in the future, right? This more than 100 taels of silver is really not a problem here in Yixun.
The defender smiled, but his heart was uneasy. Because he knows that Yi Xun is good for Shouxin, and for Shouxin, it is both a good thing and a bad thing. Moreover, in the bottom of his heart, he doesn't like Shouxin and Yi Xun to get too close, but because of his own identity and sincerity to Yi Xun, he doesn't allow himself to think wildly. What's more, Shouxin is still a child now!
After the defense, he came to Dongqing Street, the largest and most prosperous commercial street in the imperial city.
Dongqing Street is located in the east of the city, and this street is lined with shops and everything. If you want to buy anything in the Imperial City, the most complete thing is Dongqing Street.
Moreover, Dongqing Street can meet the needs of people at all levels of consumption, the entrance is a variety of tall shops, there are various fixed small stalls in the inside, and the innermost is quite a remote place, there are all kinds of retail merchants, as long as you pay a few copper plate business taxes, you can put up a stall for a day. Of course, things here are often the cheapest. For example, if the woman she met at the gate of the city before, if she came to the city to buy vegetables, she would usually choose such a place. And people who want to buy bargains will also come here, and everyone will take what they need.
The defense took out enough silver this time, of course, to take Shouxin from the most prosperous place on Dongqing Street.
Shouxin looked at these antique buildings, as well as the bustling crowd in ancient costumes, and had an innumerable feeling in his heart. Sometimes, she felt like she was having a long, real dream right now. And sometimes, she wonders if her past life was a distant and magical dream in modern times.
She didn't even know if she would wake up one day and appear in that 'crossing experience camp'.
"It deserves to be the most prosperous place in the imperial city!" When the guard saw the prosperity of Dongqing Street, he couldn't help but sigh. He and Shouxin grew up on the island since they were children, and they were too young to remember anything before they went to the island. Life there for more than ten years is similar to isolation. It was only after coming out this time that they followed Yi Xun to see all kinds of things in the world. And the places that passed by this way were really small compared to the Imperial City.
"yes!" Shouxin looked at the stone plaque that said 'Dongqing Street' at the entrance of the street and sighed, in this life, she can be regarded as a dirt bun who has just entered the city, right? Everything is fresh.
However, they just sighed and did not show much emotion.
The two of them walked along the street, entering the shop from time to time. In a shop that sells rouge, the defense looks very carefully, and Shouxin can't help but quip: "Do you want to wipe the rouge on the defense?" Why are you so interested here? Or do you have a fancy for which girl and want to please others? ”
The guard was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Yes, I want to buy it and give it to the beautiful girl." ”
"Huh? Are you serious? "Shouxin is just joking, how can she believe it? The defensive is just out of the island, where to meet what girl! Unless it's ...... "defensive," you won't take a fancy to Fluttershy, will you? But Fluttershy is good-looking. In a blink of an eye, Shouxin remembered Fluttershy, she had a small jasper temperament all over her body, which was due to her humility, Shouxin could imagine that she was not the daughter of a poor family before, and Yi Xun was also good to her, if she was with Guard, whether it was her identity or appearance, it would be a match.
Speaking of this, Shouxin looked at the defense with a smile. She feels that her senior brother is also quite handsome, although she has watched it for so many years since she was a child, she is a little aesthetically tired, but she can't ignore the good skin of the defensive position. Among the many senior brothers on the island, the defensive position can be regarded as one of the best. In addition to Yi Xun...... Of course, Yi Xun is not an ordinary person, and he can't be compared!
"Keep your heart and don't talk nonsense. I've only met Fluttershy a few times! Guarding didn't expect Guard to mention Fluttershy, and he couldn't even see what Fluttershy looked like. When Fluttershy takes someone to deliver food, or when she sends a factor, she doesn't look at the girl's face, which is also a sign of respect for the girl. Moreover, in the eyes and hearts of the guard, the only person he is willing to see in his sweatshirt is the little sister Shouxin.
"What does this have to do with how many times I have met, is there less love at first sight in this world?" Shouxin retorts, but when she sees Defensive's attitude, she knows that Defensive doesn't like Fluttershy.
"I don't know if anyone else will fall in love at first sight, anyway, I won't!"
"Then you said you bought it for a pretty girl?"
"Yes, the pretty girl is far away, close in front of you!" The defender glanced at her helplessly, and then asked the owner of the rouge shop: "Boss, is there anything suitable for my sister?" ”
"Yes, yes, the little girl is so handsome, come and see this box of rouge, this is authentic...... Balabala ...... "The boss praised his rouge and foamed at the mouth.
Shouxin couldn't help but take a step back and hurriedly stopped the boss. "Wait, I don't want rouge."
The boss was stunned for a moment and stopped talking about the recommendations, however, the big store in the imperial city will not have the kind of situation where customers say they don't buy it and look down on people, but the smile on his face froze.
"Shouxin, didn't you care about being tanned last time, I'll buy you a box of rouge, don't shirk it." The guard was busy persuading Shouxin, for fear that she wouldn't buy it.
"On the defensive, you don't understand, this rouge can't be whitened even if it's rubbed, it's just a layer covering the face, if I use it, I don't use it."
"That's it!" I really didn't understand the defensive position, but then I thought of something: "Boss, do you have pearl powder?" Keep your heart, this pearl powder can whiten and nourish the skin, so we will buy it. ”
"Huh? With pearl powder? Wouldn't it be too wasteful? ”
"Yes, yes, girl, don't be too wasteful, I have powder made from small pearls here, and the price is not high." The boss was right next to them, so naturally he heard their conversation and was busy introducing.
"How much is not high?" As for the price here, Shouxin hasn't fully figured it out, the first few times she bought things was to pay for it, she only remembered that she spent a lot of money at that time, but she didn't remember every price. And the snacks she bought before, each with a few copper plates, can't be compared with this pearl or anything!
