Chapter 52: The Princess of the Land

The streets of the capital are intricate, there are sixteen city gates inside and outside the city alone, but the bazaar is not as everywhere as Luoyang Mansion, although it is convenient, but it is also chaotic, there are only two markets in the capital, the east market and the west market, the east market is a variety of horse markets, bird markets, flower markets, vegetable markets, and the west market is to sell daily necessities, handicrafts, and some handmade specialties or something.

After Xi Yunzhi rested at home for two days, he finally couldn't help but take Liu Ma and Ruyi out for a walk, but the road was too tortuous, and after a few turns, the four women couldn't feel the direction at all, and finally they were clever and clever, and hired a sedan chair for Xi Yunzhi to sit on, and they followed the sedan chair all the way home.

After returning home, although Bu Qin didn't say anything on the surface, his cold face scared Ruyi and Ruyue into trembling, until Xi Yunzhi promised to let Zhao Yi or Han Feng follow him when he went out in the future, Bu Qin's face looked slightly better.

After a few more days, Xi Yunzhi became a little familiar with the street, and Ruyi Ruyue was responsible for taking her out and bringing her back, so she was pulled out by Han Feng and them to recognize the way before dawn every day, and she was willing to let them come back at night.

Xi Yunzhi's stomach is already a little visible, her favorite thing is to sit in the small courtyard while touching her stomach and basking in the sun, her husband knows her hobby, so he asked Zhao Yi to buy her a rocking chair, so she likes it even more.

Xi Yunzhi wanted to make two more clothes for her husband, and after breakfast early this morning, she went to the street with Ruyi, because Lan Fuyuan lived in a relatively partial way, so Bu Qin had already prepared a sedan chair for her, which was not luxurious, but it was very comfortable inside.

Yipin Ge is the largest clothing shop in the capital, Xi Yunzhi stepped down from the sedan chair and walked into the store, only to feel that there are a dazzling array of luxurious satin, silk fabrics abound, just in terms of style, it is not the store in Luoyang can be compared.

However, what attracted Xi Yunzhi's attention the most in this store was not these clothes, but a woman's calculating voice:

"Do you know how to do business? I'm going to buy two horses of silk, and you don't even want to be less than a little eight cents, isn't it too stingy? ”

The guy standing behind the counter was a little crying and laughing: "This lady, you have already lowered the price of these two silk horses by nearly three percent before, and now you want us to erase the fraction, this, this is too ......."

The shopkeeper was really embarrassed to say the word 'care', but this business was really not profitable, so he simply pointed to another ordinary cloth of a similar color and said:

"If Mrs. is really too expensive, then it is better to pick this kind of half-hemp and half-silk southern silk, the color and feel are almost the same, but the price is only half of this kind of silk."

The woman glanced at the Nanguo silk recommended by the guy, stepped forward and touched two handfuls, then put it down, pointed to the silk and said:

"Alas, forget it. If you don't want to, forget it, wrap it up. ”

Xi Yunzhi watched from behind as the woman paid eighty taels and eight dollars of silver, and then asked the maid to take the fabric and walk out of the store.

After she left, Xi Yunzhi heard the guy say while counting the money:

"It's really a death to save face and suffer sin, and if you can't afford a good one, you won't use the bad one."

Seeing Xi Yunzhi walk to the counter, the guy immediately changed his face, but his shrewd eyes had already swept Xi Yunzhi up and down, and when he heard Xi Yunzhi say that he wanted to buy some fabrics for his husband to make two clothes, he didn't think about it, so he recommended Nanguo Silk, which had only been disliked before, Ruyi felt a little angry, and felt that this guy judged people by his appearance, and used the things that people disliked before to fool them.

But Xi Yunzhi touched the hand and felt good, and asked the price, one zhang and one tael of silver, not expensive but not cheap, Xi Yunzhi smiled with satisfaction:

"Half hemp and half silk are very good, breathable and sweat-absorbing, these two colors, each cut two feet."

Xi Yunzhi picked a kind of dark blue, a kind of tooth white, and imagined what the clothes would look like.

Seeing that Xi Yunzhi was happy, the guy made a business without any words, so he casually praised: "It's still Mrs. who knows the goods, and the small ones will be cut for you." ”

"There is labor."

After buying the fabric, Xi Yunzhi asked the sedan chair to walk around the city a few times and bought some pastries and snacks, and then he was satisfied and ready to go back, but when he walked to the intersection of Zhuque Street and Xuanwu Avenue, the sedan chair stopped.

Ruyi told her that there were several official sedan chairs passing in front of her, and she had to wait a little.

Xi Yunzhi felt that it was nothing to wait, but felt that the sedan chair was a little stuffy, so he walked down from the sedan chair, and saw that people stopped to watch the passage of several luxurious sedan chairs at the intersection, and heard the people who came and went to say that the sedan chair at the front was like a sedan chair to respect the princess, Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but be speechless, she had only heard of the princess in the drama before, but she didn't expect that after she came to the capital, she would really be able to see the living.

couldn't help but be a little more interested, and walked to the intersection to join in the fun, to see if he could get a glimpse of the princess's appearance from the gap in the sedan curtain, but Xi Yunzhi trotted all the way to catch up with Ruyi's frightened eyes, but still failed to do so, and the princess's sedan chair happened to pass the intersection.

Xi Yunzhi saw that he couldn't see it, so he sighed loudly, and was about to turn around, but he heard a sharp voice suddenly sounding in the crowd, followed by the sound of a horse neighing:

"Who dares to block Princess Jing's way."

Xi Yunzhi looked again, and saw a sedan chair in front of Princess Jing's sedan chair in the middle of the road, blocking her way, only to see a little girl with a familiar face rushing out of the sedan chair, and knelt down in front of the princess in the sedan chair with a plop, and said with a crying voice:

"Princess Jing is angry, our princess's sedan chair is broken, which is blocking Princess Jing's way."

When the sedan chair slave heard that the one blocking the way was also a 'princess', he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Which palace maid are you?" ”

"Back to the manager, the slave is from the Jin Palace."

The manager turned around and ran to Princess Jing's sedan curtain to report, only to see a woman with a sad face coming out of the broken sedan chair, and repairing the sedan chair with her sleeves up.

Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but be speechless, saying that the capital was full of gold, but now it seems that she feels that there are princesses everywhere in the capital, she just went out on the street, and met two of them at once.

I saw that the woman reluctantly walked to Princess Jing's sedan chair and blessed her body, so she beckoned to the kneeling maid and said:

"Okay, the sedan chair is repaired, let's go."

Although the head of the sedan chair of Princess Jing was annoyed that there was no etiquette in the Jin Palace, because the other party also occupied the position of a 'princess', he couldn't say anything, so he watched Princess Ji take her maidservant girl and sit on the temporarily repaired sedan chair, and walked away shabbyly.

After Princess Ji left, Princess Jing's team was able to move on, Xi Yunzhi saw that there was no more excitement to see, so he returned to his sedan chair, ready to go home, but he didn't notice that behind the sedan curtain of the last sedan chair of Princess Jing's team, there was a pair of beautiful eyes with resentment staring at her.

***

After Bu Qin returned to the capital, he was basically not at home during the day, but he could rush back on time every day before dinner to accompany Xi Yunzhi to eat, read, and sleep.

Xi Yunzhi sat on the edge of the bed and drew embroidery patterns, and told Bu Tan about the new things she saw on the street today, and Bu Qin explained to her everything:

"Princess Jing is the granddaughter of the first auxiliary minister Meng Liao, she and the crown princess are sisters-in-law, in the circle of nobles in the capital, the Meng sisters are considered to be the best figures, as for the princess Ji...... King Ji, you've seen it. ”

Xi Yunzhi looked up puzzled: "I've seen it?" After thinking about it, he exclaimed: "Xiao Luo, Xiao Gongzi? ”

Bu Qin was wiping the sword, and when she finally realized it, she nodded with relief: "Yes, it's him." Xiao Luo is the thirteenth prince and was named King Ji two years ago. ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi was so shocked that he forgot to speak, and sat still with a paintbrush, and it took a long time to react:

"That's not right. Since he is the prince, he is also very generous, but Princess Heji's shot is ......"

quarreled with a guy for eight cents in an ordinary store, but when she went out to buy something, she sat on a broken sedan chair, and after the sedan chair was broken, she was able to repair it by herself regardless of her identity.

Bu Qin put the polished sword in the sheath, and seeing that his wife was quite interested in this matter, he decided to talk to her about it, and by the way, he could also take this opportunity to tell her about the situation in the capital.

Xi Yunzhi lay comfortably on the quilt, listening to Bu Qin talk about the things in the capital and the noble circle one by one, as well as the identities of the princes' families, the origins of the officials and wives, and so on.

After Xi Yunzhi memorized Bu Qin's words in his heart, he fell asleep.

***

Xi Yunzhi originally thought that the things that her husband told her were still far away from her, and she didn't pay much attention to it at first, but unexpectedly, these things came to her door the next day.

When Xi Yunzhi saw Princess Ji visiting her with an earnest smile and two fine silk satins, she didn't know what mood to use to face these two hard-won silk horses.

"This is the latest fabric in the capital, which is very fine, and it is the most suitable for my sister's fine skin and tender meat."

After Xi Yunzhi personally served tea to her, she pulled her to sit down together, and Xi Yunzhi kept smiling:

"The princess has won the award, such a heavy gift, Yunzhi is ashamed to accept it."

Princess Ji immediately shook her hand approachably and said:

"It's not heavy, it's not heavy, the most important thing is that it's suitable for my sister, take it, otherwise the prince will blame me."

Xi Yunzhi couldn't refuse, so he accepted the material, and listened to Princess Ji mention King Ji Xiao Luo, Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but start with this topic:

"King Ji served Luoyang, Yunzhi was clumsy and didn't recognize it, and asked the princess to go back for Yunzhi and say a few beautiful words, so that the prince should not blame."

Princess Ji was drinking tea, and when she heard Xi Yunzhi say so humble, she shook her hand almost reflexively: "Don't blame, don't blame." ”

Xi Yunzhi took the opportunity to persuade tea, and looked up and down the clothes of Princess Ji, she was wearing a more gorgeous robe today, highlighting the princess's luxury, and the ordinary clothes she wore on the street yesterday are indeed different, seeing that her ten fingers are plain, not wearing gold and silver, only wearing a jade bracelet wrapped with gold foil silk on her right wrist, it seems that it is also an antiquity of some years, and the gold foil silk is wrapped in a crack, and she later ordered someone to repair it and put it back on.

Yesterday, I heard from my husband that King Ji is open-minded by nature, and his gestures are all heroic, and his shots are also heroic, but Princess Ji is completely different from King Ji's personality.

Princess Ji is estimated to have come to recognize the door this time, because King Ji has a lot of things to rely on her husband to do, so she will send Princess Ji to condescend to the noble family, first come to the Bujia to visit, it is not a big deal, after a few words briefly, Princess Ji will say goodbye, Xi Yunzhi repeatedly retained, personally sent her to the intersection, and then turned back.

The author has something to say: the second one, hehe.
