Mrs. Lan is not alone, there are guests in the house, it is Mrs. Fucheng Song's mother and daughter, her husband is now the first person under Lan Mingdong, so she is also tight about Shangguan's daughters. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Almost every day, I have to come over and go around, greet and gossip, and don't treat myself as an outsider at all, no, I soon became close to Mrs. Lan.

Fortunately, their family lives in Cheng'an Lane at the back, and it would take a stick of incense to come over, otherwise, just coming here every day, Lan Jiayin feels hard to think about.

As soon as Mrs. Song saw Lan Jiayin and Hu Qinghui enter the door, Le's mouth couldn't close, and she turned her face to Mrs. Lan and said, "Hey, the concubine can see the two young ladies every day now, but the more I see it, the more I like it, it's really ......."

She shook her head again and sighed again, "Alas, if my sister Fang can be as knowledgeable as them, and have a basis for advancing and retreating, the concubine will be blind to death!" ”

"Mother, if you say so, your daughter doesn't follow!" Song Qiaofang stomped her feet and pouted: "You like Sister Hui, Sister Yin's daughter is not jealous, but you can't just because they are good, you don't want a daughter!" ”

What she said was so childlike that it made everyone in the room laugh.

Song Qiaofang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when she saw that her original intention had been achieved.

This person is wearing a moon-white cocoon silk gown today, the corners and cuffs of the clothes are embroidered with lake-green flower and grass patterns, and the bottom is equipped with a lake-colored Baxiang skirt, inlaid with a wide hem of moon-white beads.

Looking at her movements, the pair of pearl earrings the size of a little thumb belly in her ears swayed and danced with her ups and downs, which made her delicate and cute, smart and lovely.

Such a girl who can make people happy at any time, no wonder Mrs. Lan likes it.

She is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Song, thirteen years old this year, older than Lan Jiayin, because she is Mrs. Song's youngest child, so it is natural that she has become Miss Jiao who grew up in the palm of her family's hand.

Every time Mrs. Song came to visit Mrs. Lan, she would bring this pleasing little daughter, and the mother and daughter came more, Song Qiaofang, Lan Jiayin, and Hu Qinghui gradually became familiar.

Although strictly speaking, Song Qiaofang also has a lot of small problems that are habitual to rich and noble ladies, but she finally knows how to advance and retreat, has eyes, is very clear about her position, does not stir up trouble, and never gets jealous of Hu Qinghui, so Lan Jiayin and the others can't bother her.

The three young ladies who looked like flowers greeted each other hand in hand, Mrs. Song was scheduled to sit on the left-hand side, but Song Qiaofang followed Lan Jiayin and the two of them to sit on the right-hand side.

After a few words of greeting with the guests, Lan Jiayin asked: "Mother, Caidie said that you have something to discuss with us, what is the matter?" ”

Mrs. Song's mother and daughter are already frequent guests at home, so Lan Jiayin knows that her mother invited them not to entertain guests, she must have something to say, as for what it is, she thought in her heart, most of it is related to the family banquet.

Who knows, things are very different from what Lan Jiayin thought, for her daughter's question, Mrs. Lan smiled silently, but looked at Song Qiaofang.

"It's not Madame Lan looking for you, it's me looking for you two." Seeing this, Song Qiaofang understood this, and said with a smile: "No, I will come to your house for a banquet the day after tomorrow, but my newly made beautiful clothes don't have the right jewelry." ”

"I want to ask Sister Hui and Sister Yin to accompany me on a trip to Wanbao Pavilion, you two are young ladies from Beijing, and you know what styles of jewelry are popular in Beijing this year, so you can help me palm your eyes."

To put it bluntly, I just want to invite Lan Jiayin and the two of them to go out to play, think about it, she is the daughter of Sipin Mansion, and her mother is also a famous family in the West, where can she be missing jewelry with clothes?

Lan Jiayin and Hu Qinghui have been to Pingjing for more than ten days, and they have gone out a lot, either to the east to enjoy the flowers, or to the west to have a banquet, but they really went out to play on the street, and they really didn't have a single time.

Song Qiaofang's move today, I'm afraid she wants to take the lead among the ladies in Pingjing.

"That's it, seeing that you're still interesting, why don't I give you this face?" Lan Jiayin thought to herself, and said with a smile: "That's a good relationship, Wanwan and I haven't gone out to play yet, but today I'm going to trouble Sister Fang to be a guide." ”

Hu Qinghui was also very happy, after all, she only told her sister-in-law last night that she had to take a look at the market in Pingjing before deciding what business to do.

A pair of friends couldn't help but look at each other and smile, Lan Jiayin said to Song Qiaofang with a smile, "I still have to bother my sister to wait for a while, and let me and Wanwan change our clothes to go out." ”

Song Qiaofang's wish has been fulfilled at the moment, and it is too late to rejoice, so there is someone who does not follow?

The two sides made an appointment to see each other at the door after a quarter of an hour, and Lan Jiayin and the two said goodbye and went back to the house, not mentioning the clothes they wore when they went out.

In a quarter of an hour, saying that it is not short, but not long, Lan Jiayin changed her clothes and picked out jewelry, and at the same time instructed Cai's mother to let her take brocade and brocade, and do everything the same as she said in the morning.

Cai's mother was originally jealous that Mama Kang was transferred to her side by Mrs. to listen to it, but now that Miss reuses her, she is really happy that her heart is about to pop out.

You must know that today's addition and subtraction of things in the house, Da Liu's mother has already sent a message, asking them to go out to buy them, and come back with the list to report the account.

I can't say it, I want to make a small fortune again!

Mother Cai suppressed the excitement in her heart, and bent her knees to accept the order, "Miss, just rest assured, slave maid and Jinluo, Jinwen will definitely do a good job." ”

Lan Jiayin glanced at the beauty mirror, nodded slowly, and changed herself into a tribute satin embroidered shoe embroidered with a large white epiphany flower on the bottom of the double mille-feuille bottom, and went to the hanging flower gate to meet Hu Qinghui and them under the embrace of the maid.

When she arrived at the Weeping Flower Gate, Song Qiaofang was already waiting there, and the two of them didn't say a few words, and Hu Qinghui and brought someone over.

Song Qiaofang suggested, "If you want me to say, Sister Yin's carriage is wide and comfortable, and the three of us are relaxed, so let's bother her alone, right?" ”

Lan Jiayin's original intention was the same, and she didn't like it, so she nodded and asked, "Wanwan, Sister Fang, please get in the car." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, led by Hu Qinghui, and they all got into Lan Jiayin's modified carriage.

Lifting the curtains, Hu Qinghui looked, except for the accompanying maid and mother, only Liu Xi, the second housekeeper of the Blue Mansion, rode a horse to follow, and couldn't help but ask Song Qiaofang with some apprehension, "What, Pingjing is going out here, don't you need to be accompanied by the elders?" ”

"Ah Sen, they are not at home today, there is no brother to follow, our girls' family goes out alone, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?"

"Aren't there housekeepers and guards outside?" "Don't worry about safety, the atmosphere here in Pingjing is more open than in Beijing, after all, it is a border land, there are many generals, and they are carried by their bold style, and other people's families are gradually assimilated."

"Sister Hui, you might as well take a look later, there will be many young ladies in the city wearing riding clothes, and even riding horses dressed as women on the street." Song Qiaofang looked at Lan Jiayin's carriage curiously, and answered Hu Qinghui's question unhurriedly.

Seeing Hu Qinghui's thoughtful nod, she pointed to the Bafu chest of drawers fixed on the car with great interest and asked Lan Jiayin, "I have seen a small cabinet, this kind of cabinet with drawers is the first time I have seen it. ”

"Sister Yin, can I add one to our carriage like this?"

Lan Jiayin also saw that there was one on Princess Jinyang's carriage, and she still made one for herself when she went home, which Song Qiaofang would do, of course she would not object.

The two of them asked and answered lively, but Hu Qinghui hung his head and was silent, obviously not fully digesting what Song Qiaofang said just now.

The Great Zhou Dynasty overthrew the country established by the previous dynasty, and the Holy Ancestor hated the red tape of the previous dynasty to the core, although he could not risk the world's disapproval and completely abolish it, but to a large extent, it was also adjusted.

And the shackles tied to the boudoir lady have been lifted a lot because of the existence of the Empress Dowager Zhenhui, and since then, the north has more nobles than the family, and the southern atmosphere has been more enlightened than the family.

Pingjing is located in the western frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Rong Di lives next to each other, and the results of the annual conquest make the power of the military generals significantly greater than that of the civil ministers.

In addition, every winter, when Rong Dikou plunders resources, facing a critical moment, women have to take kitchen knives to protect their homes, the people are fierce, naturally more civilized than the capital, and it is natural for the girl's family to be free to go to the street.

These causes and consequences, Lan Jiayin, who has lived in the West for more than ten years in his previous life, knows all about it, but unfortunately, he has to pretend to be ignorant and ignorant, even if he sees his friends entangled in his heart, he can't say much about it, it's really tiring......

Hu Qinghui was surprised at first, and after coming back to her senses, she grabbed Song Qiaofang and asked questions, obviously very interested, thinking about it, she has lived in the conservative Jiangnan for six years, and it is inevitable that she is curious about the loose rules and civilized customs of Pingjing.

Someone from Lanjia Music explained Hu Qinghui's confusion, holding the peaches cut by Jinzhu in his hand, eating them in small bites, and obediently not interjecting.

The most prosperous part of Pingjing is the four main streets built around the bell and drum tower in the center of the city, and the names are very simple, which are called East Street, West Street, North Street, and South Street.

It's just that the things sold are very detailed, for example, the West Street sells food, the South Street sells clothes and jewelry, the North Street sells antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the East Street sells mules, horses, and iron tools.

The four main streets are built flat and wide, visually, running four carriages side by side are easy, the streets are full of people and cars, noisy and lively, compared to the bustling capital, it is not much better.

Today, Lan Jiayin and a few people are going to Wanbao Pavilion on South Street, which is the largest silver building in Pingjing, and the jewelry in it has the most popular styles on both sides of the north and south, as well as their home-made styles, and even jewelry from the Western Regions and overseas, which can be said to be complete in variety and variety, and it does not live up to its name - Wanbao Pavilion.

In the well-known Wanbao Pavilion in the West, there has always been only a big shopkeeper, not the owner, so who its owner is has always been the most reverie mystery.

Some people have speculated that the owner of Wanbao Pavilion is a branch of Jincui Fulin in Beijing, and some people have speculated that Wanbao Pavilion is the handiwork of the richest man in Jiangnan, and some people say that it is a royal industry, but none of them has been proven true.

The fact is that this store was still not famous eight years ago, and it belonged to the third-rate silver building in Pingjing City, but it suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and it defeated the original Jade Xuan and became the leading boss of Pingjing jewelry.

If it is said that in the previous life, Lan Jiayin was still kept in the dark like everyone else, and he had always been puzzled by the mysterious owner of this Wanbao Pavilion.

But in this life, who is the person behind this scene, but he can't hide it from her, according to the time of the rise of this Wanbao Pavilion, as well as this arrogant name, and the glorious deeds of defeating the century-old shop and still standing in Pingjing, who else can do it except Mu Lingxuan?

"Oh my God, Ah Hyun is really rich!" Standing in front of the eight-room-wide and five-storey Wanbao Pavilion, Lan Jiayin silently sighed.

This momentum has lost the golden cui blessing in the capital, okay?!

Sometimes seeing it with your own eyes, it is always more shocking than the memory in your mind, because the first and second floors of Wanbao Pavilion are set up for the public, and the fourth floor is the boundary where only big customers can enter, Song Qiaofang can only rely on her Lao Tzu's name post, and set the largest private room on the third floor, named 'Hongbao'.

Because of the exclusive VIP passage, the first and second floors of Wanbao Pavilion are different and prosperous, and they can't see that Hu Qinghui, who is new to the house, feels a little regretful.

Song Qiaofang is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when she saw this, she comforted her in a low voice and said, "It's okay, there are two stairs here, we can go up and walk this way, and when we go down later, we can also go there, and at that time, Sister Hui can fulfill her wish." ”

When Hu Qinghui heard this, he nodded again and again, and felt very useful for Song Qiaofang's thoughtfulness.

Everyone went up to the third floor, and their eyes lit up, the original pear wood has become mahogany, from the stairs, to the wall, and even the wooden core of the wall scroll, it is all good mahogany.

The floor of the corridor is covered with a thick red blanket, and every dozen steps, there will be a high or low, round or square table, on which there are either elegant bonsai flowers or different forms of mountain stone ornaments, which is very interesting to look at.

As for the wall is not empty, or landscape calligraphy and painting, or beautiful wood carvings, Lan Jiayin looked very seriously, and after walking for a while, she pointed to the wall and smiled at Hu Qinghui and the two: "Wanwan, Sister Fang, you see, there is also a paper-cut here, which is Chang'e running to the moon, so exquisite." ”

During the Chinese New Year in the capital, every household has to paste the big red paper-cut on the doors and windows, the craftsmanship is good, it is the magpie to climb the branches, attract wealth and enter the treasure, the craftsmanship is poor, it is also auspicious, the plum blossom annunciation and the like.

But as complicated as Chang'e running to the moon, I'm afraid that only the filial piety of the nobles in the palace is the same, Lan Jiayin has only seen it twice from her grandmother, and this is the first time she has seen it outside.

Hu Qinghui was also amazed when he saw it, "Compared with the best embroidery in Jiangnan." (To be continued.) )
