Chapter 40: Wander around

Seeing off Ning Junwu and Feng Shiqian, Xia Bashan left Xia Xiaodong to speak.

"You had a holiday with that Ning Gongzi?" Of course, Xia Bashan could see that Ning Gongzi's attitude was not quite right.

"I didn't start the incident first." Xia Xiaodong first made a stand: "It's just that this Ning Gongzi seems to have some strange hostility towards me, and always says something ugly. Belch...... Last time I hit him twice in a fit of rage. ”

Hit and fight, and don't be afraid to admit it. But I don't need to be too careful about what it looks like.

Xia Bashan didn't think there was anything wrong with his daughter giving people two blows, it must be that kid who was disrespectful.

"Ning Gongzi's mother died when he was very young." Xia Bashan's expression was a little solemn: "It is rumored that he was plotted by his concubine." Later, his father killed a Tongfang alive, and also drove out two concubines, and never renewed. Ning Gongzi was raised by his aunt who was unmarried, so his temperament was a little weird. You don't take it to heart. ”

No wonder this person is so strange, he grew up in the house fighting circle. Xia Xiaodong felt a little more comfortable.

Xia Bashan was a little annoyed. Xia Xiaodong has been talking to Feng Shiqian, and he didn't pay attention to this, although Ning Junwu and Xia Bashan discussed a lot of defense and control matters, as if inadvertently, they also asked a few words about Xia Xiaodong.

As a man who used to be young, Xia Bashan certainly knew that although the meaning of single-minded overtures was obvious, it was often inexplicably targeted, and it was not another kind of attention.

If you really don't value someone, you will only forget it completely, and you won't mention it at all.

Xia Bashan looked at his daughter's bright face with a complicated expression, and his heart was a little stunned.

The noble son of the capital is really not a good match.

"By the way, do we have any food in stock?" Xia Xiaodong thought of the victims who were about to swarm in, and he was unconsciously worried about his own situation.

"Absolutely." Xia Bashan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Our family has a small population, and we don't need too much food. There was always enough food in the cellar for everyone to eat for a year, and every year the old rice was taken out and exchanged for new ones. Don't worry about that. ”

Sure enough, he is a military general who has accumulated years, and this sense of combat readiness is not ordinarily strong.

Xia Xiaodong put his mind at ease, since he doesn't have to worry about his own family-people will always be a little selfish, right? , then you can think about how to make good use of the money in your hand to help Dad solve the problem of the victims.

It's just that problems that can be solved with silver are usually not problems.

The problem is that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food for disaster relief .......

"Master, Feng Gongzi's little guy is here to deliver the post." A soldier reported at the door.

Didn't Feng Gongzi just leave? Why is the little guy here again?

Xiaowu's attitude was very respectful: "Originally, my son-in-law wanted to send the post by himself, but I didn't want to forget it." So I sent the little one over again. ”

Xia Bashan took the post and looked at it casually, and handed it to Xia Xiaodong.

The post was written very politely, to the effect that Miss Lu Yunzhi of the Lu family had just arrived in Suzhou and was unfamiliar with the place. Tomorrow is the day of the boudoir to take a break, and I hope to invite Xia Xiaodong and Xia Yurong sisters to visit Suzhou together and learn about the local people's livelihood.

Clear-eyed people know at a glance that it was nominally a post sent by Lu Yunzhi, but since it was sent by Feng Shiqian's servant, it was obviously Feng Shiqian's meaning, and of course Feng Shiqian would accompany him.

The folk customs of the Northern Chu Dynasty itself are quite open, and the military attaches in the area of Suzhou in Xuannan are the mainstays, and there are fewer etiquette constraints for many civil officials and scholars.

Xia Xiaodong smiled secretly in his belly, Feng Shiqian clearly didn't forget it, but deliberately sent it one step later, probably because he didn't want to bring Ning Junwu. Otherwise, if you take out the post in front of Ning Junwu, you must always invite others politely.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhuang smiled and asked people to take out two sets of clothes and distribute them to the sisters.

"Since Ming'er is going out for a walk, wearing this looks energetic, and it is convenient to move." Mrs. Zhuang said.

The clothes go well together.

Inside is a moon-white beard, the cuffs and feet are tightened, the small stand-up collar covers the neck and looks quite straight, and a royal blue straight-body robe is added to the outside, and the waist is a palm-wide leather belt.

It's a man's garment.

Xia Xiaodong dressed himself up early in the morning, took a photo in the mirror, and got rid of a handsome young man. Who let there be no bras and the like in this era, it all depends on real materials - it's just that there is no material, a bunch of bandeau and loose clothes, it is strange that you can see the ups and downs.

It will be fine when you grow up, Xia Xiaodong comforted herself silently. Now I understand why the characters in the pictures of the ancient maids are all sloppy shoulders and flat chests, because ...... It's all natural.

Yurong's appearance is almost the same as Xia Xiaodong's, but the color of the clothes is different, and it is lake green.

When Feng Shiqian saw the two sisters, there was a strange look in his eyes, but he could still maintain his demeanor and greet Xia Bashan very much - when he took other people's daughters out, he always had to show his attitude and ensure safety.

In order to travel conveniently, Feng Shiqian found a rather large carriage out of nowhere, with two rows of seats facing each other, which could seat at least six people.

picked up the Xia family sisters, and the carriage went to the prefect's mansion to pick up Lu Yunzhi.

Zhang Wenjuan also came along, but with Lu Yunzhi, she seemed to be extremely low-key, often bowing her head slightly, and not talking much.

Seeing the Xia family sisters, Lu Yunzhi actually showed a strange look, which was the same as Feng Shiqian's expression. Zhang Wenjuan pursed her lips, smiling a little.

What's wrong? Xia Xiaodong looked at Yurong and couldn't find the answer from Yurong.

Girls wear men's clothes when they go out, which is basically a fashion, nothing. These people are weird one by two.

After all, Yurong is younger, and he has not yet developed the habit of observing words and feelings, so he didn't pay attention to it at all. Among several people, she is the most familiar with Suzhou, and she dutifully introduced it all the way.

"If you buy clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, there are the most in this area of Zongding River."

"Carpentry shops are all ...... on Sheep Street"

"The south side is full of rich and noble families, and the further north you go, the poorer you are, and the north wall is a large area of straw sheds......

"Most of the military households are outside the city, and some of them who have been exempted from the military household visa, if they can't afford to buy land, they will come to the city to work part-time, and most of them gather at Chaoyangmen."

Yurong is quite familiar with Suzhou City. The carriage traveled all the way, telling the story of the situation everywhere along the way.

"It's all shops selling mountain goods and game. There are many mountains in Suzhou, and mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, pine nuts and so on are cheap. Hares are often seen, as well as wild boars. When it comes to food, Yurong is even more precious: "The best restaurant here is 'one pot when it comes to passing'!" His game stew is simply amazing! ”

"Huh?" Yurong's face suddenly stiffened a little: "Why did you close the door when the pot was closed?" ”
