Chapter 43: A Chance Encounter with an Old Man

On the sixth day of the lunar month, it is the day when Qin Daixin made an appointment to go to the street with the two girls.

Early in the morning, Qin Daixin went to Mrs. Fang and Fang Wanru to say goodbye, because the Chinese New Year was approaching, both of them were very busy, so they didn't say a few words, and sent Qin Daixin back. Qin Daixin was happy to save time and happily returned to her Changxiao Garden.

Yesterday, Su's frightened incident made the group a little worried, but fortunately, she didn't have a big deal, and the people in Lanyuan specially informed Qin Daixin last night, saying that her aunt had woken up and was in good health, so she didn't have to worry about it, so she could really put her mind at ease.

"Little ...... Childe, shall we do this? Ruyi looked at Qin Daixin, who was already wearing men's clothes, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

Qin Daixin vaguely remembered that according to the ancient rules, when the ladies in the house went to the street, they had to wear a hat surrounded by yarn to cover their faces, and the accompanying girls did not need to. This is done in order to let people be able to distinguish who is the master and who is the servant at a glance, and the second is to save the face of the daughter's family, so as not to let those who have a heart go lightly.

But Dayong doesn't seem to have this rule, and there are few people on the street who cover their faces.

As soon as Ruyi got up in the morning, she began to prepare a dry of items for Qin Daixin on the street, ranging from clothes and accessories to purse accessories.

"It's inconvenient to act like that." This dress is good-looking, but it's too inconvenient, to go to the street, just to have a good time, to breathe a little fresh air that can't be breathed in the house.

"Miss, every girl is like this on the street." Ruyi whispered and complained, who doesn't want to dress up beautifully, Miss Bi feels cumbersome.

"That's it?" Qin Daixin pointed to the dress that was placed aside, and asked, "I'm dressed like this, how can I go to the street?" ”

"What then?" To be exact, what does the young lady want to do.

In this way, Qin Daixin forced Ruyi to find three sets of men's clothes, she pretended to be a son, and let Ruyi pretend to be an entourage, while Chunli was pretended to be a scholar because she was a little small.

"What's not to do?"

"Won't be discovered?" That's bad, you'll be laughed out of your big teeth!

When the three of them went out in the morning, they registered at the gatehouse, and after receiving the waist card in the house, they could go to the two small servants or the nursing home to follow, Qin Dai thought they were in the way, so it was useless, but Ruyi still felt that it was more stable for people to follow.

"Three big men on the street, who will do anything to us?" Qin Daixin played with the fan in her hand, quite proud. Compared with the women dressed as men on TV in the past, she not only changed into men's clothes, not only did she paint her face and hands a little darker, but even her mustache was glued.

"Don't be sluggish, we've been delayed for some time, and if we don't leave, it's going to be dark." After speaking, he didn't look at Ruyi, and walked straight to the front.

"Sister Ruyi, hurry up and keep up." Chunli hurriedly followed Qin Daixin's footsteps and walked forward, and did not forget to turn around and shout Ruyi.

"It's not that I'm delaying the hour to find you a line, I want clothes for a while, shoes for a while, and a fan in winter." Ruyi muttered a few words to Qin Daixin's background, and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the two to the front.

Taizhou is a beautiful, rich and rich town, although there is no sea, but the traffic can be regarded as extending in all directions. Taizhou's geographical location is superior, mainly because it is relatively close to the capital, although it is also thousands of miles away, but after all, it belongs to the north, and it is too close compared to the southern water town.

What kind of place is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many kings and grandsons, and if you drop a signboard, you can smash a few Beijing officials with more than four grades. It's a place to eat, drink and be merry, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's the richest place in the world.

It is precisely because Taizhou is close to the capital that many cultures are influenced by the capital, and dressing and eating are led by the popular indicators of the capital, and over time it is combined with the local culture, but it has formed a unique cultural style of Taizhou.

"We're going to have a good walk today, and we'll just go home before dinner."

Qin Daixin is difficult to go out, so she naturally wants to take a good look at this Taizhou City. And Chunli was also excited because of Qin Daixin's words, the most important thing to be a subordinate is to obey the master's arrangement, since Qin Daixin was sick, Chunli has not been out of the gate of Qin's mansion for a long time. In contrast, Ruyi is much calmer.

Qin Daixin had never seen the style of Taizhou City, so she decided to take a good turn. Although she has seen ancient TV and traveled to historic sites, after all, this is the ancient city style that is alive in front of her eyes, how can she not be tempted!

"Little ...... Childe, come and see, it's so beautiful! Chun-Li picked up a bracelet made of shells from a small stall and handed it to her.

"Look, it's so special!" In the end, it's a girl's house, just like flowers and plants, rouge and gouache, just a string of shell bracelets can make Chunli, this girl so excited?

"This is a shell, what's so special, there are many in the sea." I thought it was a good thing, but it was just a shell bracelet.

"Nautical?" There is no sea in Taizhou, and it is no wonder that Chunli does not know this thing.

When the hawker saw Chunli holding the shell with joy, he hurriedly introduced: "This is a good insight, we have no sea in Taizhou, and this is from afar." If you like it, I'll sell it for two hundred. ”

The main circulating currency of this era is still mainly copper coins, which is very similar to the unearthed objects of later generations, there is no war in this era, and natural disasters are rare, so the people are also rich, and the price is not high, generally a dozen copper coins can buy a bucket of rice.

"My monthly money is only two taels of silver a month, so expensive." Chun-Li simply put down the bracelet in her hand and looked at the stall in front of her.

These things are not the slightest attraction to Qin Daixin, but it is the style and people of this Taizhou that can attract her even more, walking on the bluestone paved streets, looking at the antique buildings. Qin Daixin's mood couldn't help but soar. She just felt that every breath of air she inhaled was so sweet, without the turbid smell of car tails and air pollution. The sky here seems to be very high and blue. Everyone who passes by her has a lot of fate with her, think about how difficult it is for her to cross over and come here, originally they shouldn't have any intersection in their lives.

The three of them walked east and west, and before they knew it, they came to a restaurant.

"After walking for a long time, I'm really a little hungry."

The two girls were naturally hungry, because of the rush in the morning, no one cared about eating, and finally got to the street, and another stall went one stall after another, no wonder if they were not hungry!

"Drunken Fragrance Building." Qin Daixin looked up at this restaurant, wondering in her heart, why did she seem to have heard it somewhere?

"Okay, that's it."

As soon as the master and servant entered the drunken fragrance building, they felt a gorgeous coming, the restaurant was decorated with high-end decoration, and the taste was not bad, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

It turns out that the ancient hotel looked like this.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qin Daixin decided that the two of them would have a private room upstairs, so that they could taste the food without being disturbed.

"Three, please sit on the second floor." The shopkeeper hurriedly let the two of them upstairs, and Qin Daixin picked a position by the window and sat down. He then motioned for Chun-ri to sit opposite.

"Little Er, what are your characteristics here, tell us about it?" The men's clothes worn by Qin Daixin don't know if they are the clothes of the young master in the house when he was young, although the style is not popular at the moment, the material is also good. The second child of this shop is engaged in the business of knowing people and money, so he naturally recognized the three masters and servants as rich people.

"It's not a small blow! Whether we are flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground or jumping in the grass. That's everything. Our master cooks, that's called a stick. Sweet and salty, but also spicy, fried, and cold. There's nothing we don't do. But the most important thing is that when we come to Zuixiang Building, we have to order a pot of good wine. This wine is made by ourselves, and only after drinking the wine of Zuixianglou can we truly taste the essence of our Zuixianglou. ”

Qin Dai's heart is happy, you still know the essence.

"Alright then, let's not order either. You pick and bring us four dishes, and then choose a fragrant and elegant wine, and serve a pot. ”

"Okay, three of you." The shopkeeper went downstairs to pass the food.

Just as I was waiting for the food to be served, there was a sudden noise downstairs. It seems that the guys in this drunken incense building are chasing someone. Because he was sitting by the window, Qin Daixin naturally looked downstairs.

An old man dressed in a coarse gray cloth coat, about fifty years old, with gray hair and tattered clothes. One shoe even fell off because of a push with the guys in Zuixianglou, and he staggered and could barely stand on his feet. Pushed by the guys, he fell into the street.

The man just brought the dishes over, and the four dishes were placed on the table in turn, and the wine jugs were also placed, and the two glasses were placed. Then he said: "Childe's dishes are ready, you can use them slowly." ”

"Man, let me ask you something, what happened downstairs just now, who is that old man?" Qin Daixin closed the fan and pointed downstairs.

"Oh, old madman! This old man, who has nothing to do all day and has a little money, changes his wine and drinks. If you don't have any money, you just make trouble downstairs in us, and you have to call it out to be honest. ”

An old man who loves to drink?

Qin Daixin only felt a flash of aura flash in her mind......

"Little Er, bring this old man upstairs for me, and say that Young Master Ben invited him to drink, and it is enough."
