In the next few days, Du Xiaoxi was often invited by Mu He to speak, and the most they talked about was Shang Qing's childhood, and occasionally Du Xiaoxi would talk about some interesting things he encountered, so that after a few days, Du Xiaoxi got used to his days in the prince's mansion.

"Master, it's an old slave." Mama Qing stood at the desk and looked at Mu He, who was studying carefully.

I have seen a lot of things about my brother and sister together, and when I saw His Royal Highness's junior sister suddenly come to the door, Mama Qing couldn't help but think about it, I was afraid that it was the little goblin who was taking advantage of the master's pregnancy to stir up trouble.

Although the official monks have declined and disappeared since a few years ago, the power of the monks should not be underestimated. Many powerful families still let their children worship famous monks as teachers, and there are not a few who have achieved the good of the family through their brothers and sisters.

The lady of the Du family has no family background, but he and His Royal Highness grew up in front of Master Xile together, and the friendship of nearly ten years naturally frightened Mama Qing. However, in the past few days, I have seen Du Xiaoxi's behavior and know that she has a fiancé who has been married since childhood, and Mama Qing's vigilance against Du Xiaoxi has dissipated a little.

Mu He smiled lightly, "Mama don't worry, you also know Your Highness's temperament, if there is really anything, you won't wait now." His Royal Highness told me that she should take good care of her own sister, and she would go home after the New Year. His Royal Highness said that Sister Du will be married on the sixteenth day of next year, and asked me to prepare some usable dowry in advance. ”

"That's a good idea!" When Mama Qing heard this, she was even more happy.

The master is a poor man, and he wants to marry His Royal Highness, although His Royal Highness has a dull temperament, but there are almost no things at home that annoy the master. is waiting to give birth to a little master, and the master will also have something to rely on in this life.

"Niangniang, Du Niangzi is here." Pearl whispered, and in a few moments someone lifted the curtain and came in.

Du Xiaoxi walked forward with a smile and saluted, and said straight to the point: "Sister-in-law." I wanted to take my brothers out to have a look, but I didn't even prepare a gift for Master's birthday in a hurry. ”

Du Xiaoxi came in a hurry, but Daddy Du pulled a lot of New Year's goods at home as usual, and asked Du Xiaoxi to bring them to the master. However, Du Xiaoxi really didn't prepare a serious birthday gift, and in previous years, it was mostly a pair of shoes, a robe and the like.

A few days ago on the mountain, the whole mountain except for the three brothers and sisters were all monks, and the outside was covered by heavy snow, and it was impossible to go to see the scenery. Now there is no limit to entering the city. Du Ba shouted to go out and have a look. It's hard to make a trip to Kyoto. You can't say anything in vain.

Du Xiaoxi had already said that he was going to choose a gift for his master, so Mu He naturally wouldn't stop him, so he said softly: "Sister Du has just arrived in the capital. Wait a minute, I will find you a subordinate who knows the way to go with you, and if there is any place you want to go, just tell the subordinate directly. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Half an hour later, Du Xiaoxi, who was fully armed, and the two gathered at the door, and there was a long-faced man in his twenties.

The long-faced man is called Zhao Sheng, and he is a small official in the stables of the house. Although his status can't catch up with the few people who drove the car for His Highness and Niangniang, it was because it was his own father who drove the car for His Highness.

Zhao Sheng is clever and sleek. is not a reckless person, so Mama Qing pointed him over to lead the way for the three brothers and sisters.

The carriage is an in-house carriage engraved with the mark of the Nine Emperors' Mansion, and Mu He is afraid that the imperial family will go everywhere, and there are many officials like dogs in Kyoto, who has the younger sister who bullied His Royal Highness without long eyes.

Two tall men sat up, not crowded at all. Du Ba looked at the girl who was calmly drinking tea and eating snacks, and whispered slightly: "Brother thinks it's much better than the kid outside, next time we come out to play without him!" ”

Du Xiaoxi nodded without a whimper. You're definitely a good racer right now, and you're driving your newly bought calf around the streets. Behind him were all people chasing the ox cart with a flat basket, and people were afraid that the mad cow would infect their cattle.

Zhao Sheng, who was working hard to catch the car from a curtain, was bitter, and he was disgusted!

In the past few days, the snow has been clear, and the people of Maodong have also come out to stretch their waists, and the shops in the market are all open doors shouting at the passing guests.

Du Xiaoxi heard Zhao Sheng say that the entire market was selling things, so he hesitated and chose a random street and walked in.

It may be a regular square market, and the stalls on both sides of the road are unified stand stalls.

Zhao Sheng saw the three of them walk in and hurriedly explained: "This street mainly sells grain, and if the little lady wants to choose a gift, she can go to a place not far away to sell jewelry." There are also a few streets in the market that are full of foreign merchants, and their things are very novel, and anyone who comes to Kyoto must visit them. ”

The most bought in the winter is cabbage and potatoes, the world is almost as rich in food and vegetables as in the previous life, Du Xiaoxi himself is also the master who can only recognize the fruit and can't distinguish the seeds, and has never thought of discovering any high-yield grain that has become famous in one fell swoop.

After listening to Zhao Sheng's words, Du Xiaoxi said, "Is there a shop that sells jade?" ”

"Yes, there are finished jade and raw materials, I don't know what kind of Du Niangzi wants to go?"

Du Xiaoxi's spirit was shocked, and he said happily: "Let's go to the raw material store first!" ”

Zhao Sheng was very familiar with this place, and took the three of them to a wider street after a few turns.

The street is very wide, and the decoration of the shops on both sides is obviously more luxurious and luxurious.

The four of them stood in front of Yu Linglong, and Zhao Sheng said that although this store is not the best quality store on this street, it is the most complete store. She's sure to find what she's looking for!

When the three of them came in, a guy in his twenties came over, Du Xiaoxi was wearing a dress made by the prince's mansion, Du Liu and Du Ba also disliked the clothes made of silk in the way, and still wore the previous clothes. They're men, so they don't have to dress as well as girls.

The guy looked at Du Xiaoxi and Zhao Sheng, who looked like a subordinate, and said very respectfully: "What kind of jade material does the little lady need?" ”

Du Xiaoxi glanced at the jade materials displayed on the Bogu shelves on both sides, and said without seeing what he wanted: "Is there that kind of transparent jade material?" You must be able to see things clearly through the jade. ”

Du Xiaoxi wanted to find the crystal, but she didn't know what the crystal was called here, and she didn't dare to speak rashly.

"What the little lady is looking for is Shui Yu? I'll show you some of the smaller ones. ”

"What do you want that thing for?" Du Ba had never heard the girl say that she wanted this kind of thing, so she asked curiously.

Du Xiaoxi blinked deliberately, "Brother will know then!" ”

Du Niang began to see things clearly last year, saying that when she was young, she did a lot of work, Du Xiaoxi thought that it might be presbyopia, so she pondered to try to make a pair of glasses. In ancient times, there were only crystals and transparent jadeite. But after searching all over Shanshui County, I found a few transparent beads in the jewelry shop, but there were no large ones.

Second Master Liu has been busy with Liu Yao's exam, and Du Xiaoxi has not spoken for fear that things are too expensive. Originally, I wanted to give the master a little letter when I sent the New Year's goods, so that the master could help pay attention to it, but I didn't expect the master to take her over directly, so I decided to come out and find it myself.
