Chapter 158: Honor Guard
After eating, Dou Miaojing and his entourage followed the address given by the drizzle and went directly to Zhu Jingyan's pen and ink shop. It was the weakest time of the day, and everyone on the street had gone home to eat, and no one was going out to shop. There was only one guy in the shop, who was lying on the table and drowsy, and he didn't wake up when he saw people coming in.
Mama Liu went over and called "little brother".
The man's eyes were wide open, apparently not yet understood. Suddenly, a girl came in her eyes, she hired Tingting to be very good-looking, lined with the autumn sun and wind outside, and the dress on her body was rippling like floating water, and a warm and fresh smell came for a while. He grinned stupidly, squinting as if in a dream.
Dou Miaojing's face turned red, and Mama Liu slammed the table: "Do you want to do business?" ”
"Do it, do it!" The man jumped up and said courteously, "What does the girl want to buy?" ”
"I'm looking for the Sixteenth Master." Dou Miaojing opened the door for fitness. After a moment of silence, he added, "If your shopkeeper is also here, I will look for him as well." ”
The guy was embarrassed: "The shopkeeper was sent out to inspect a batch of papers from Zhenjiang yesterday, and he won't be back until tomorrow." Our sixteenth master is not here either, he came once in the morning and left, and he never came again. What the girl wants, ask the little one, and the little one knows. ”
Dou Miaojing pretended to look around, but it was just an ordinary pen and ink shop, and there were a few inkstones that were of the highest quality.
The man's eyes lit up, and he grinned: "The girl has good eyesight, but these inkstones are the treasures of the town store, and the sixteenth master doesn't plan to sell them." ”
Dou Miaojing glanced at him twice, the guy was very embarrassed, and laughed vigorously, I am afraid that he is beating a drum in his heart, wondering if the girl is the sweetheart of the owner. Would he offend the girl by saying this?
But Dou Miaojing pouted in her heart, thinking that it seemed to be Gu Xing's consistent style. I don't know if he is high or arrogant, he always makes a mysterious and mysterious appearance, which makes people want to get it.
After walking around twice, I didn't want to buy anything, so I sighed that it was not the right time to come out, and I wanted to go back. Maybe it was too unwilling, Dou Miaojing had already stepped out of the door. But he turned around and asked again: "Do you know where the sixteenth master went after he went out?" ”
The guy ran out into the street. Pointing to the east, he said, "And there it goes." ”
"Thank you." Dou Miaojing said with a smile.
After getting into the car, Mama Liu asked, "Does Miss want to go over?" ”
Dou Miaojing thought for a while: "I can only dry up when I go back." Why don't you take a look outside? Let's go there, go around the east of the city, and then go back to Fengqi Street. ”
Mama Liu nodded, and then instructed the coachman.
Her words and deeds. Mama Liu will report to Dou Pei in great detail at night. Dou Miaojing knew that the second uncle was just afraid that she would waste her hard work. After a long time, he will naturally know whether he can take on this responsibility. It's a matter of time, and she doesn't complain in her heart, and she doesn't care.
Since it's going to be shopping. It would not be suitable to take a carriage again. After they had walked for a while, they all got out of the carriage, letting the carriage follow not far away, while the three of them walked slowly on foot.
After all, Mama Liu went out to see. I also learned a little when Dou Pei and his wife were talking in the past, and gave some advice on the livelihood of various shops along the way. Tell Dou Miaojing something that he can't understand.
For example, the rice in the rice shop, what is the price of glutinous rice, what is the price of japonica rice, how much is glutinous rice more expensive than terrier rice, and how do those traders sell terrier rice as expensive as glutinous rice. These have their own doorways in the market, and no one dares to break them.
Dou Miaojing was speechless to hear, she only knew that it was easy to say "no treacherous, no business, no treacherous", but when she really got in touch, she knew how deep the water was.
In the past, the people in the family made her listen to it a lot, but now these small methods outside are quite overwhelming. She didn't have the kind of righteous indignation that wanted to change the merchant and make every shop do its job, and she just thought that she wouldn't be like that.
Mama Liu poured out what she knew, and told her many things endlessly, while she was picky and picky, half of which was lost. She has her own choices about right and wrong.
A few people didn't feel tired at all while talking, and before they knew it, they were walking very far away from the pen and ink shop. If you go further, you should go to the most prosperous place in the east of the city, which is where the dignitaries and dignitaries in Lin'an Mansion live. Although the Dou family said that they were rich, they were not qualified to buy a house there. And the Chen family is also in that area.
Dou Miaojing already had a prophet when she came, and since she came, she didn't plan to avoid it, not to mention just walking in front of the Chen family's house, and she wasn't asked to go in, what was she afraid of?
She rarely comes here, and she has the impression that she was more diligent in her previous life because of Chen Yu's relationship, and there is really no reflection in this life. Walking in front of the palace, the memories of her two lives slowly overlapped. I remember clearly where the wall extended, where the copper jars were kept, and even the stone benches that rested on the stone piers on the road underfoot.
This autumn color, the maple red that came out of the wall, it seems that she is walking on the road to the Chen family in her previous life. However, the mood at that time can no longer be recalled, and I can't even remember Chen Yu's face for a moment. She knew that on the day of the old lady's birthday, she jumped hard in the middle of the lake, and she had already jumped out of Chen Yu's haze. Since then, he has stepped out of his own world and is no longer relevant to his previous life.
Mama Liu didn't know what she was thinking, so she suddenly pulled her to the side of the road as she walked, and whispered, "Miss be careful, someone came out there." ”
Dou Miaojing was in a trance, and she didn't understand what Mama Liu meant. Whoever walks on this street still has to look at the eyes of whose house? Who's so powerful, it's just a person, and they have to ask someone to make way?
Before I knew it, I poked my head out to look, and then I realized that I was almost close to the main entrance of the Chen family's mansion. She had never entered from there back then, and she had only walked through the side doors.
Could it be that Chen Jichang is back?
There was a little chaos in her mind all of a sudden, Chen Jichang was in the capital, how could he leave his official position and sneak back to Lin'an, it was a capital crime.
Thinking about it like this, she calmed down. looked fixedly, and saw that a low-key and well-dressed manservant came out of the Chen family's house, driving pedestrians away on the road. Originally, there were only three or three people on the street, but after a while, they all dispersed, leaving only the lonely autumn light.
When he drove them away, a lot of saber warriors dressed in uniform suddenly poured out of it. Dou Miaojing glanced at it, and the memories in his brain poured in like a flood.
Those clothes, she remembered. She remembered it until she died!
In her previous life, she saw the guards surrounding Zhu Song's carriage in the alley, and she was dressed like this! (To be continued)
