The next day, Li Guan slept until three o'clock before getting up. www.biquge.info She has been in poor health since she was a child, and Mrs. Li and Master Li never had to restrain her by rules, nor did they want her to be filial in front of her.

After breakfast, Li Guan took Hewang out of the house.

The carriage drove fast or slow on the streets of the capital. Li Wan leaned on the soft pillow and closed his eyes to recuperate, and Hewang sat next to him reading a medical book.

The capital is still as prosperous as ever, the streets are very spacious, all paved with square stone bricks, lined with rows of shops, restaurants and tea houses, and from time to time there are richly decorated carriages or sedan chairs.

The people of Dakang are more open, and from time to time there are people from the government on the streets, and there are many young women in bright clothes and wearing hats or veils in the crowd.

Li Wan listened to the lively noise outside the carriage, and couldn't help but pick up the corner of the curtain to look out, with a little childish on his face.

Crane looked up at her and smiled slightly.

About half an hour later, the carriage reached the south of the city.

The south of the city is the most prosperous place in Bian Cheng's business, and the horse-drawn carriage moves slowly in the crowd of people, and after a while, it stops in front of a shop.

This is a well-known clothing store in Beijing, famous for its chic design and exquisite workmanship.

Hewang straightened Li Guan's clothes and helped her get out of the carriage.

When they walked into the store, there were already quite a few people in it who were picking out clothes and jewelry, both of them were dressed in ordinary clothes and did not attract much attention.

A woman in her early thirties saw them come in and greeted them with a smile: "Do you want to buy clothes or jewelry?" ”

"Our young lady wants to make a few new dresses." Crane said.

The woman smiled even more when she heard this: "Then you have come to the right place, we have just come out of the store with a batch of new styles, you two will take a look?" ”

"Okay." The crane hopes to be good.

The woman called a girl: "Little Ying, take the two girls in!" ”

"Hey!"

Li Wan and the others followed Xiao Ying inside, walked through the porch, walked for about half an hour, and walked into a small courtyard.

Xiao Ying shouted inside: "Sister Bishen, the guest has arrived!" ”

Immediately, a woman in her twenties came out of the house, with a dignified temperament, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, her hair pulled into a bun, wearing a beautiful skirt, tea and white material, embroidered with light blue silk thread The blooming moon season, with the skirt swaying, one by one lifelike.

When the woman saw Li Guan, she looked excited, and stepped forward to curtsy: "Say hello to Miss." ”

Li Wan stretched out his hand to help her up, and said with a smile: "Bishen, I told you a long time ago that you don't need to be polite, it looks like a raw person!" ”

Bi Shen wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said quite solemnly: "Miss doesn't care that these vulgar etiquette is your belly, but Bi Shen has always remembered Miss's great kindness and remembered her own identity." ”

Li Guan knew in his heart that it was useless to talk to her more, so he simply didn't mention it anymore, pointed to the clothes on her body and said, "The embroidered flowers on your skirt are really beautiful, just like the real thing." ”

"Miss likes? I've made you a couple of dresses, all of which have been new recently. Saying that, he followed Hewang left and right and accompanied Li Wan into the house.

As soon as he entered the room and sat down, after the maid served tea, Bi Shen took out a few big bags from the wardrobe and piled them on the round table.

How many skirts is this? Li Wan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

She flipped through it with her hands, and started with the soft and smooth Suro, or started from the waist and embroidered the water pattern with the green silk thread of the bean, layer by layer, or embroidered the delicate jasmine flowers on the lotus skirt with white silk thread, or embroidered the blooming rose with very fine thread on the veil as thin as the wings of a cicada.

There is no ostentatious and gorgeous color, and it looks inconspicuous from a distance, but if you look closely, you will know what a remarkable workmanship it is. She was growing up, and she couldn't wear clothes for a season, and she spent so much effort to make a dress......

Just as she was amazed, Bi Shen brought a small box and opened it to see all kinds of jewelry, hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, and grates...... There are also bracelets, bracelets, necklaces, and jewels...... There are no earrings, and Li Guan has no ear piercings.

"It's not a precious piece of jewelry, it's not as good as the things of the Jewel Pavilion, but it's all quite chic." Bi Shen sat down beside Li Guan and showed her the things in the box, "I know that Miss is inconvenient to show off on weekdays, these things are not eye-catching, but they look fine, so you can wear them for fun." ”

Li Guan took a bracelet and put it on his wrist, not big or small, just right. She gently stroked the carving on the bracelet, and her heart was mixed.

"I've got a lot of clothes and jewelry, so why bother with it."

"That's what we do in our store, and instead of cheapening others with these things, it's better to put the icing on the cake on the cake for the young lady. Miss uses it well, and we are happy. ”

"What's cheaper than others, could it be that those guests outside are all white?" Li Guan said angrily.

Everyone in the room laughed.

Bi Shen laughed with everyone, his expression was in a trance for a moment, and he suddenly said after a while: "Now I also see it." Money and wealth are vain, life does not bring death and does not take away, but life is tired by it, why take it so seriously. If it weren't for the secret help of the young lady, I would have committed suicide by hanging myself under the persecution of the Jin family......"

Li Wan knew that she was remembering the past, so he hurriedly held her hand and said softly, "It's all over." ”

The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy for a while.

"Look at me, mentioning these makes Miss sad to follow, don't say it, don't say it." Bi Shen stood up and said with a smile to Li Guan, "Miss try this dress to see if it fits." ”

"Okay." Li Wan didn't want her to continue thinking about those things, so he agreed and walked behind the screen.

After a while, Bi Shen combed her hair again and inserted new hair accessories.

Li Guan came out from behind the screen, and everyone in the room felt that their eyes lit up.

Li Guan is thin, with a white complexion and little blood, and he is always dressed plainly on weekdays, giving people a very cold feeling. But she is now, with a snow-blue skirt, a large pink and white begonia embroidered on the skirt, an autumn-colored slanted jacket, a neckline and cuffs decorated with fine lilacs, her hair loosely tied up in a cloud bun, camellia hairpins of different sizes, and a hairpin with a pearl chain on her neck, which corresponds to the pearl bracelet on her wrist, which looks very delicate and elegant.

"It's so pretty!" Bi Shen looked at her with satisfaction, and there was a kind of proud pride in his tone.

Li Wan saw that everyone in the room was staring at him, stroked his sideburns with his hand, and pursed his lips and smiled. She looked around and was surprised, "What about Crane Wang?" ”

Xiao Ying replied to her with a smile: "Someone from outside just now handed a letter in, and the crane girl went out for a while, and she will return immediately." ”

Li Wan nodded, and sat down with Bi Shen to drink tea. After a while, Tsuruwang returned.

She asked Hewang, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, the ibis Yu saw that the weather was good today, so I asked the Burrow to leave a seat, and I wanted to invite the young lady to come out for a gathering." The little maid served tea to Hewang, she took a sip and continued, "Send someone to the house, the people in the house said that we went out, she estimated that she came to the treasure embroidery workshop, so she asked someone to hand the letter in." ”

Bi Shen sneered: "I think it's the ibis girl who is greedy for herself!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Hewang added: "No, she also specially sent a soft sedan chair, for fear that you won't go." ”

"Miss, let's go, while it's not too hot yet, it's better to have fun. After a while, it's hot and it's not easy to go out. Bi Shen said softly, "What's more, the army returned to the dynasty today, and the streets were even more lively than usual." Writing about the Burrow is on Zhengnan Street, just to see the excitement. ”

Li Wan hadn't come out and walked around for a long time, and when he heard this, his eyebrows bent: "Okay, then let's go!" You go too. She took Bishen's hand.

Bi Shen rarely saw her once, and she agreed: "Then I will follow Miss to feast on it, anyway, there is Cui Shen in the store." ”

Cui Shen is the woman who greeted Li Wan and Hewang in the treasure embroidery workshop.

The group went to write about the Burrow in a soft sedan chair.

In recent years, the west of Dakang has been quite unpeaceful, first there have been frequent incidents of barbarians hurting people in the southwest, and then there have been provocations and troubles in the northwest of the Xifan Kingdom. Half a year ago, the Xifan Kingdom invaded the border of Dakang and burned two small border cities, pointing directly at Luocheng, the northwest barrier. The Dakang soldiers resisted desperately, fought with Xifan for half a year, captured the thirteen cities of Xifan, and captured the enemy's head. The Western Fan Kingdom surrendered, and Dakang took the opportunity to propose that the fourth prince of the Western Fan Kingdom, Ge Yi, be a hostage, otherwise he would not withdraw the army. Xifanguo reluctantly agreed.

The army triumphed, and there was news in the palace more than a month ago that the emperor would reward meritorious soldiers in Xuanwumen. Today is the day when the army returns to the court, and the generals will lead the army through most of the capital to Xuanwumen to receive rewards. At this time, the people of the capital were boiling, and they all looked forward to it, wanting to see the demeanor of the army. The tea houses on several main streets, today's business is very good, ordinary people sit in the small tea shops on the street to talk about fun, and the dignitaries and nobles have chartered the private seats or private rooms of the big restaurants.

Written Burrow's house is located on Zheng Nan Street, famous for its exquisite and delicious refreshments. It was still early, and there were many guests in the hall on the first floor, and the private seat on the second floor had been booked a month earlier.

A two-wheeled canopy carriage slowly stopped at the door of the Burrow, and the attendant servants raised the curtains. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came down first, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a pair of shining eyes, wearing a royal blue round-necked robe with silver edges, and a jade around his waist. Then came a man in his early twenties, wearing dark dark navy blue, his skin was as white as jade, handsome and a little beautiful, but his expression was very calm. The two walked side by side into the Burrow.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and greeted: "Please two inside!" ”

The shopkeeper was pulling the abacus beads, and when he saw them, he hurriedly turned out from behind the counter and greeted them with a smile on his face: "Ouch! Third master, you're here! ”

The young man in the royal blue robe took out a folding fan from his back, opened it with a "brush", and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Hou, you are going to make money every day." ”

"The third master said with a smile, a small business, and I promise you to take care of it." Shopkeeper Hou flattered, "Who is this?" ”

"Oh, this is Yu Gongzi." The young man pointed to the man beside him, "Are you ready for the seat I ordered?" ”

"It's ready, facing the street, and you can see the scene on the street clearly. Third master, Yu Gongzi, please upstairs! The shopkeeper Hou probably had a bottom in his heart, and respectfully led them upstairs.
