Mengbao was upset by the question of five thousand taels of silver, after all, this amount was a bit too big, and it was specially left for Su Mengbao by the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

At first, Mengbao comforted herself and said that she was not the real Su Mengbao anyway, if she was gone, she would be gone, and she would treat it as if she had never lived.

Later, when she thought that the five thousand taels would have to stay in the Dingnan Hou Mansion to be cheap for the Li family, she couldn't help but start her liver ache again when she thought of this, especially when she thought of the Li family's beautiful silver tickets, she felt that the roots of her teeth were a little itchy.

Well, whatever the reason, she has to admit that she just wants to take the silver for herself and fly away with it.

Mengbao sighed, thinking that he was really a snob, and he didn't care much when he was three or five hundred taels, thinking that it was best to take it away, and if he couldn't take it away, he would pull it down.

When it became a few thousand taels, she was reluctant to let go.

Could it be the inferior nature of the legendary man?

No, no, no, she just didn't want to cheapen the Li family for nothing. She comforted herself.

She thought about it, why don't she hide the silver ticket in the mezzanine of her clothes and take it away? A big family like the Dingnan Hou Mansion wouldn't search her after abandoning her, right?

But when she thought that Li's bitter temperament really had this possibility, she had a headache again.

Meng Bao pondered for a long time, and when he felt that his head was about to explode, the book on the table was suddenly turned over a few pages by the wind blowing outside the window.

The words of so-and-so money in the book made her have a flash of inspiration, and she suddenly felt enlightened.

"Red note, go and call Mother Zhao in."

The red note answered, and hurriedly called Zhao's mother in.

"What is the matter with the young lady looking for a slave?" Zhao's mother asked.

"I want to go out of the house, you go find someone to prepare a carriage for me, if you need to report to the lady and the old woman, by the way, help me say hello to them."

Mother Zhao was surprised: "This ...... Why do you suddenly want to leave the house? ”

"Oh, I...... I want to go to Yunni Fang to have a look, change the two summer clothes I made before, and by the way, see if there are any new materials, choose two horses to come back and make two clothes for the prince, and wait for him to wear when he comes back. ”

Mother Zhao frowned: "If you want to choose the material, just let them bring new tricks to show you, why do you have to run out." And you can't make clothes yet. ”

"I just want to go and see it, they definitely don't have all the tricks they bring, in case there are other better ones. If you don't know how to make clothes, you can learn it slowly, you will always learn it! ”

“…… You just want to hang out, do you? ”

Mother Zhao looked at her expectantly, and there was a look of understanding in her eyes.

Mengbao's lie was exposed, and he was a little embarrassed, so he simply stopped hiding it: "I haven't been out of the house since I got married, so you just let me go out for a while......"

Mother Zhao looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't cry or laugh: "It's as if someone is holding you and not letting you go out, it's ......not because you haven't gone out before"

She was shocked and speechless, afraid that she would be sad and sad when she remembered the past, so she hurriedly stopped talking: "Okay, good, the slave and maid will go and prepare, but you have to promise that the slave and the maid will not run around after they go out, otherwise the slave and the maid will be blamed." ”

"Mm-hmm, absolutely no running around! Go ahead. ”

Mother Zhao saw that her face was full of impatience, and she didn't seem to think of anything unpleasant because of her gaffe just now, so she relaxed a little and turned around to go out to make arrangements.

Half an hour later, Mengbao sat in a carriage and slowly drove out of the corner gate of the Hou Mansion.

Zhao's mother sat with her in a carriage, and Hongjian and Xi'er Queer sat in another carriage behind.

"Are you all done? Have they all said hello to the old lady? ”

She asked as she ate the snacks in her box.

"The old lady said hello there, she was not at ease, and she didn't agree at first, but I heard that you wanted to pick out clothes and materials for the prince, so I didn't say anything, just asked you to bring more people to serve, don't be too tired. By the way, I also mentioned that you should make a few more clothes for yourself in Yunnifang, and go to the public account. ”

"As for Madame...... The slave and maid made their own decisions and did not ......"

Mengbao waved his hand: "Why are you making your own decisions?" I told you to go if necessary, and if you don't go, it's naturally unnecessary, so you don't need to explain it to me. It's okay, anyway, everyone knows that I don't like her and she doesn't like me, what are you doing all that nonsense? That's good. ”

Su Mengbao was a girl who had not left the cabinet before she got married, and she couldn't go out without the consent of her elders. Although in her memory, it seems that a woman who marries a woman is no longer so strict when she wants to go out, but she has never gone out once since she married into the Dingnan Hou Mansion, so Mengbao is not sure if it is true that she does not need to report to her elders, so she will tell Zhao's mother that sentence.

Mother Zhao won't hurt her, since she didn't go, it means that even so, the Li family can't use this as a handle to embarrass her. In that case, why did she still say hello to her?

Mother Zhao thought differently from her, she felt that the old lady was now obviously interested in standing on their young lady's side, and the Li family was bound to stand on the opposite side of them.

Although she is not as senior as her mother, she is also a thoughtful person who has been in this inner house for more than 20 years, and she can naturally see that the old lady is not close to the Li family, and even has the intention of letting their young lady replace the Li family.

She was happy to see this phenomenon come to fruition, and naturally she would not bother to please the Li family anymore, so that the old lady felt that their young lady was double-faced, which was why she stuffed a big purse for Xu's mother this morning.

………………………………

On the wide streets and alleys of Bei'an Chengxi City, Mengbao saw the prosperity of this world for the first time.

Tea shops and restaurants are lined up along the street, and the merchants who carry the goods are smiling and soliciting business, which is a lively scene.

Mother Zhao frowned slightly: "Miss, put down the curtain quickly, this West Market is mixed, and it is unsightly, just wait until we get to Duobao Street." ”

Duobao Street is located in the southwest of Bei'an City, which is more prosperous than Xishi, and the famous Yunnifang and Huishan Building are located there.

Different from the West Market, it can be said that it is a place for the wealthy and wealthy families of the century-old dignitaries to entertain, and the idlers will not go because they can't afford it, and even some nobles with weak family backgrounds can only go to the storefront once or twice when there is an occasional big event.

Compared to there, Mengbao actually prefers the West Market in front of him, and he is a little excited and can't take his eyes off.

"It's hard to come out, don't be in a hurry to go to Yunnifang, let's take a look here first, right? Maybe you'll find something good? ”

"How can this work, Miss is noble, this West Market ......"

"Oh, Mother Zhao, please, you also know how long I haven't been out, and now I see everything fresh, just let me see." I heard Xi'er say that there is a shop specializing in bean curd nearby, and the bean curd is better than the one in Hui Shan Lou, and I want to try it......

She knew that in the eyes of Zhao's mother, she would always treat her as a child, so she simply used the coquettish method of trying all kinds of things.

Mother Zhao smiled and glanced at her: "It turned out that the gluttonous worm came up, no wonder I couldn't walk." But it's really chaotic around here, so don't get out of the car yourself, the slave and maid will ask Xi'er to buy it for you. ”

"Huh? But I'd like to see something else......"

"Okay, okay, if you want to see it, let's take a look around here, but just look through the curtain, and if you see something, point it to the slave maid, and the slave will buy it for you, you still don't want to ...... it yourself."

"Stop, stop."

Before she could finish speaking, Meng Bao shouted to the coachman outside.

The carriage came to a steady stop, and she got up and ran down the carriage as she turned around and smiled: "What's the point of not shopping by yourself?" ”

Mother Zhao was in a trance for a moment, she couldn't remember how long the young lady hadn't smiled so happily, and this smile made her a little unbearable to lock her in this cramped carriage.

When she came back to her senses, Mengbao had already gotten out of the car by herself. She secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly chased after it.

"Miss, miss."

She called twice, then lowered her voice again: "Did you forget? The magpies followed, they were sent by the old lady. ”

Meng Bao waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, although the two of them are girls transferred by the old lady, they don't talk much, and they have been with us very well during this time, you think too much." ”

What's more, she didn't want to leave a good impression on the people of Nanhou Mansion, and she wished that Xi'er Que'er would turn her head and tell the old lady about it, so that the old lady would know that she came out to play when she bought clothes and materials for Shen Nanzhu.

While the two were talking, the three maids had already hurriedly gotten out of the car and ran over with anxious faces.

"What's wrong? Why did you get off here? ”

Red Note asked.

"yes, didn't you say go to Duobao Street? Is there still some way to go? Isn't there something wrong with the carriage? ”

Xi'er subconsciously looked at the carriage parked on the side.

The coachman looked panicked, and Mengbao hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's me who wants to come down and shop." Xi'er, didn't you say that there is a delicious bean curd near here? Where is it? Let's take a look. ”

Xi'er's face turned red: "This ...... Where is it so delicious, it's the slave who hasn't eaten it for a long time, and she's talking nonsense......"

"It can make you remember it in your mind, it can be seen that it is really delicious, since it has already come out, wouldn't it be a pity not to taste it?"

Xi'er didn't expect that her casual words would make the young lady remember it, and she specially stayed on the streets of this West Market for her, and she had mixed feelings for a while, and she was moved and didn't know what to say.

Mengbao was already a little impatient, and asked where it was, and walked forward by himself while asking, so that the driver who was driving the car was at a loss.

Mother Zhao sighed and explained that the coachman followed slowly behind, and she followed closely behind Mengbao.

Xi'er hesitated a little and then stepped forward to lead the way, and Hongjian and Que'er also hurriedly followed, and the group walked around the streets of the West Market.

No one noticed that a pair of stunned eyes were staring at them in the distance, and the owner of the eyes stayed on Mengbao for a moment, then turned his head to say something to his maid, and the slender hand lowered the curtain as if he had never seen Mengbao.
