Chapter 31 Shopping in Ancient Times

"Bai Gongzi is a good person." Qingqing turned her head to face Lin Yu and joked, "You really don't care about the Zhang family?" Don't want to snatch back the big golden turtle of Zhenyuanhou? ”

Worried about Mao? It's false to say that she is not angry or hateful, but Lin Yu can't imagine herself as the revenge heroine in the novel, and she doesn't have the patience to deal with Zhang Wan'er at all. Besides, no matter how you look at it, the super beauty Yin Susu is more qualified for revenge. Although everyone is usually cannon fodder, they are gorgeous cannon fodder, and Lin Yu, a scum who can only be regarded as cannon fodder at most, is still the kind that has no combat effectiveness.

Lin Yu didn't have that mind at all, but looking at Qingqing's still serious eyes, he shrugged his shoulders, "How can it be refreshing to marry a wealthy family." I don't have that patience, it's not a good life, but I am asking for sin? ”

Qingqing smiled faintly, "Don't you think, it's hard to settle down?" ”

"It's hard to calm down, that's Yin Susu's great beauty." Lin Yu didn't notice Qingqing's cold eyes at all, and pulled Qingqing to say, "Let's go, you said you would accompany me shopping." ”

Lin Yu came back from rebirth and hadn't gone shopping seriously in ancient times, and at first he didn't go out of the gate of the Hou Mansion. It was easy to get out of the road, and then I fell ill, so I went to the vegetable market three blocks back the day before yesterday to buy vegetables.

Qingqing looked at the brisk smile on Lin Yu's face, and also smiled, "Go to the place where girls like to visit, Rongxi Fang, where it sells silk, satin, fat, powder, spice jewelry and other things for girls is the most famous place in the capital." And I'm going to open a spice shop, and I'm going to see what other people sell and what the price is. ”

Although Rong Xifang is in the outer city, it is the closest market square to here, and it is only a quarter of an hour's walk away. Although the weather was quite cold, it was sunny and dry, which was a good day. Although ancient, the main road is wide enough to allow six horse-drawn carriages to pass side by side, and there are shops on both sides, ranging from large three-storey lofts to small grocery stores.

Lin Yu stood at the corner of the street and looked roughly, it seemed that there were more silk shops and embroidery shops, and then there were fewer fat powder and spice shops and silver buildings, probably because the cost was relatively high.

"Have you been here?" Lin Yu looked at Qingqing, "Except for the spice shop, which is a must-see, do you have any other recommendations?" ”

"Where have I ever been here?" Qingqing smiled bitterly, "I seem to have forgotten to tell you, I am not from the capital, my mother took me to the capital to find my father, but I died before I found it, I am an eleven-year-old girl, I can't live alone at all, I really have no choice but to sell myself." ”

Lin Yu was silent when she heard this, Qingqing looked at her like this, and she was embarrassed first, "Isn't it okay now, let's see which store we go to first walk past us, which one will we go to?" ”

"I won't go to the big silver building." Lin Yu said with a smile, "Although we are quite rich at the moment, there is no need to buy those precious jewelry. ”

"That's exactly what happened."

The two were talking affectionately, and there was a gallop of horses' hooves behind them, and the two hurriedly got out of the way, but they were almost taken down, and the others also hurriedly dodged. Lin Yu turned sideways to see that it was a woman in a purple cloak, and now only her back was left. Don't look at anything else, just looking at the speed of the white horse she rides, she knows that Lu Dao must be a noble girl, maybe it's still the princess of the county or something.

Sure enough, I heard a lot of discussions in my ears, and a lady in a gorgeous costume said even more politely, "I really don't know what she is angry about, but she is just relying on the identity of the daughter of King Qi, and she was not born by the princess." Is it really as favored as she said, and she didn't even get a county lord, but only a county lord? I don't have much ability to marry a man, and eighty percent of them are angry and vented. ”

"Speaking of which, the King of Qi is also strange, since the rebellion of the King of Linqing twenty years ago, after he escaped from the capital and came back, it is just a matter of not marrying a wife, and even a concubine is not accepted, will it really hurt-" The noble lady who came with her couldn't help but gossip.

"Don't talk nonsense, the affairs of the royal family are not easy to talk about." The lady in the fancy dress also knew how to be measured, and when she said this, the lady also kept silent.

This is just a small episode, not to mention ancient times, even the rich second generation who drive famous cars in modern times often go on a rampage, and there is no accident in the horizontal and vertical, although Qingqing and Lin Yu are a little unhappy, but it does not hinder the interest of shopping. It's just that it was originally said that the first person who walked by would enter whichever store he went to, but now he can't calculate it.

"Look at the silk." Lin Yu is a very large silk village on her left, and she is still very interested in those beautiful silk embroideries in ancient times.

"Also, it's time to enter the wax moon, buy some good materials to make new clothes." Qingqing thought for a while and said, "I think you seem to have grown a little taller again, and last year's clothes were a little short, so you have to buy more materials." ”

Not only is it short, but his chest is also tight, Lin Yu's body is not yet sixteen years old, and he was in the third year of junior high school in his previous life, and he was growing up. It's that Qingqing is eighteen years old this year, and she is a little longer, but her clothes can't be seen short.

"In the past, there were needlework people in the Hou Mansion, and we didn't have to worry about clothes, but now we have to find someone to do it ourselves. I've heard that these larger stores and ready-to-wear stores have door-to-door laundry business, and they either pick out the materials and let them measure them here, or let them come to the door. Qingqing pondered, "But there is no need to rush in this one, it is estimated that there are forty or fifty silk businesses in the entire Rongxi Fang, and there are even more ready-to-wear shops." ”

Although most of the people shopping here are women, most of the shopkeepers are men, but this silk village actually hired a female shopkeeper, and the customers are all young women. Therefore, this business is always better than others, which is also a point that the owner of this silk village is quite proud of. Although other bosses also want to follow suit, there are not a few women who can read and write, and it is not so easy to find accounts. Some are also stewards in big families, or young ladies and ladies who are in charge of their own business.

The ancient silk industry was extremely developed, anyway, Lin Yu had never seen so many colors in modern times, and hundreds of kinds of silk were enough to dazzle. Qingqing is much better, she is a senior assistant next to the old lady in the Hou Mansion, and she has seen a lot of fine silk. However, compared to the ones she had seen, the quality of the silk here was a little worse, but there were many more colors.

Seeing that the two of them were dressed well, a woman in her twenties greeted her with a smile, "What kind of do the two girls want?" Bright or plain? Outerwear or lining? On the bright side, the two of them probably don't like it, and there are better materials in the shop, but they are generally placed inside. ”

Although there are many of these colors on the surface, the quality of the silk is indeed poor. However, Lin Yu didn't know anything about this, and looked at Qingqing with a little embarrassment, Qingqing smiled, "It's brighter, don't be too bright, and you also have to buy some soft light-colored materials to make underwear, you take more samples and we'll take a look." Let's take a look at what's out there first."

The woman nodded and went to the back to get the sample, and Qingqing and Lin Yu were shopping for the materials in the hall. The women who buy the materials on their own are generally the female dependents of the medium-sized family, although there are also people who greet them, but it is not a one-to-one service. Lin Yu actually didn't want to buy too good materials, but Qingqing felt that this year was the first New Year to move out and spend alone, so she always had to buy some good materials to make a few good clothes. However, Qingqing also thinks that there is no need to waste too much, just buy some ordinary materials for the clothes you wear at home.

The two picked out a piece of plum red brocade and a piece of light blue silk material, and were hesitating to buy the purple lake silk or light red, when they heard shouting not far away. Lin Yu looked up, hey, barely an acquaintance, it was the young woman in purple who was making trouble and galloping.
