Aftertaste, because he said to Su Miao very seriously that he was going to break up, Su Miao was angry with him, so he didn't pay attention to Su Miao for several days, or it was not that he didn't care, but he didn't have time to take care of it, and he hadn't returned to Xueyizhuang for several days.

Liang Jin and Hui Xiang really lived in Xueyizhuang for a while as they said before, but because they liked to be quiet, although they didn't say to Su Miao that they didn't have to go to ask for peace every day, they had already revealed that kind of meaning, so Su Miao was so happy that she threw it away, and it was not suitable for her to save anything in the morning and dusk.

Liang Jin and Huixiang don't have to worry about her, even if they live in the same Zhuangzi, because the place is too big, they can't be touched at all if they don't visit deliberately, and after two days, Su Miao almost forgot that her future in-laws still live in the Zhuangzi. Her pair of in-laws are probably busy with their own affairs, so they don't have a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's fighting method, and they don't have an aftertaste to talk to her, Su Miao is so idle that she is about to get lice, and she is bored every day, and finally one day she suddenly twisted her brain and followed her eldest sister to go shopping and buy things.

Su Xian's place to buy things will naturally not be outside the Liangdu City, not that the goods outside the Liangdu City are not good, the outside of the Liangdu City is a transportation hub with quite developed trade, this hub is radially expanded around the Huixiang Building in the center, the transportation is convenient, the goods are developed, the shops are lined up, and the warehouses are lined up one after another, but Su Xian looks down on the outside of the city from the bottom of her heart, in her heart, everything outside the city is a village and county, so it is more convenient for Su Miao to go shopping and relax in the nearby shopping street. Su Xian would rather take a carriage to Liangdu City for most of the day, stay for one night and then shop and stay for another night before returning.

When the carriage finally came to the outside of the Liangdu City, the sky was dusk and the clouds were swirling and the tired birds were returning to their nests. Su Miao rubbed her buttocks, which had become four-petaled, and was annoyed in her heart, that she must have had a brain cramp to follow her eldest sister all the way to go shopping.

Su Xian was full of energy, she held a bronze lotus mirror that was two circles larger than her face, carefully looked at herself in the mirror, and then made up the powder, evened out the lipstick, and wiped the rouge.

Su Miao squinted at her for a while, feeling more and more bored, she was a little sleepy by the carriage, and covered her mouth and yawned widely.

The powder box in Su Xian's hand was thrown over. almost hit Su Miao's head, and this time the sleepiness was all shocked, and she was dumbfounded. Looking at the powder box that fell in the corner of the carriage, he looked at Su Xian in amazement, and said in amazement:

"Eldest sister, am I your own sister?"

"Manners! Deportment! Dead girl, you have to let the old lady say it a few times before you can remember. How can a girl's family yawn! Su Xian pointed to her head. put on a late girl's face and reprimanded harshly.

The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely: "The girl is also a human, what's wrong with yawning, and there are no outsiders here." ”

"It's not okay if you don't have outsiders, this kind of indecent behavior can't be changed if you get used to it, the cooked ducks are all flying away from you, you're at this age, and if you can't marry again, others won't necessarily talk about our family. A boss who has been separated from him, and a second brother who has no name and no point to follow people's butts for four years and was dumped in the end. A girl who doesn't look like a girl from head to toe may be the third child of the stone girl, and the fourth child who can do needlework without even a skill......"

Su Miao almost "burst into tears": "Is our family already so miserable?" "The fourth child has a master, she has obviously confirmed, she can't tolerate such slander.

Su Xian said: "So, it's not that we can't eat now, so let's be flexible and fight for the family, okay?" ”

Su Miao was very moved when she saw that her eldest sister was thinking so much about her family, and nodded vigorously:

"Good! I don't yawn anymore! ”

Su Xian glanced at her, didn't answer her, but said: "Tonight, you give the old lady an honest truth, if you dare to run, or if you don't like to talk nonsense, see how the old lady cleans you up!" ”

Su Miao was inexplicable, she didn't understand what she meant, but she didn't think much about it, and obediently responded with a "good".

The old queue of people who entered the city outside the city of Liangdu, and it was almost dark when they entered the city, but the imperial capital was the imperial capital, even if it was nightfall, those bright street lamps and noisy shops made the whole city look even more magnificent and magnificent than in the daytime.

Su Miao secretly lifted the corner of the carriage curtain, poked her head out, and looked at the bustling streets, the brightly lit night markets, and the busy restaurants, there are many big restaurants here, and there is a restaurant and restaurant of a small scale almost every stone's throw away, compared with the situation that only Su Ji, Yi/Pinlou and Pinxian Lou can be called in Fengzhou City, Liangducheng is like another world. She thought that Fengzhou City was already very prosperous, in fact, Fengzhou City is indeed very prosperous in Yueliang Kingdom, Fengzhou City is a famous thousand-year-old city in the south of the Yangtze River, known for its developed shipping and flexible trade, but compared with the Liangdu City of the Pearl under the moon, the lively and prosperous Fengzhou City in her mind is simply a third-tier city!

The pattern of Liangdu City is square, the street here is not called a street, it is called "Fang", a square area is called a "Fang", the names of each street and alley in the square are named after what Hutong, the two main roads of east, west, north and south run through the whole city, and many forks are divided into alleys, those alleys are said to be alleys, but when you really see them, they are absolutely different from ordinary alleys, the narrowest alleys of Liangdu City can also drive three carriages side by side, not to mention that the main roads of east and west, north and south can drive eight luxury carriages side by side, It is worthy of Liangdu!

After the carriage entered the city, it drove for about half an hour, and stopped in front of a towering city wall, Su Miao saw that there was actually a city wall in the city wall, and asked suspiciously:

"Sister, where are we going?"

"What's there to do in the outer city, let's go to the inner city." Su Xian pursed her lips disapprerovingly and said.

Su Miao remembered that she heard Lin Yan say that the Liangdu City is divided into the inner city and the outer city, and the inner city and the outer city are like the districts of later generations, the Liangdu City is divided into four districts in addition to the imperial city, and the other three districts are the outer city, inhabited by ordinary people, businessmen, wealthy people and officials under the four products, and the inner city is the largest district of the Liangdu City. Inside live are the Beijing officials of more than three grades and the high-ranking officials and nobles with various loud titles. To enter the inner city from the outer city, there must be a sign or a reception post from the people who live in the inner city, otherwise people from the outer city will not be able to enter the inner city. This is the division of hierarchy, the division of identity and status, clear distinction, clear boundaries, such clear, such cold, such cruel.

Lin Yan said that she lived in the outer city when she was a girl. The first time she entered the inner city, it was when the sedan chair carried her from her mother's house to the Ruiwang Mansion, and when Su Miao heard her, she had a feeling of "entering the Houmen as deep as the sea".

In the heart of the inner city was the Imperial City, where the emperor lived.

The sign entering the city is a status symbol. However, because this ban is really harsh, and the price paid for violating the ban is relatively small, there are many people who have the heart to come up with a way to go wrong in order to enter the inner city to make friends with the powerful, and the price of a reception letter or sign to cross the city on the black market is surprisingly expensive. A piece of gold.

Su Miao was dumbfounded when she heard Lin Yan say this. A rich person is a rich person, and he can pay a lot of money for a post, which is amazing!

Of course, Su Miao didn't think that the eldest sister could save a thousand gold private money to exchange for a reception letter to enter the inner city, she asked suspiciously:

"Sister, do you have a brand?"

Su Xian snorted contemptuously from her nose, flipped her wrist arrogantly, and a mutton fat jade brand lay flat in her palm. Quietly emitting a soft glow.

The signs for entering the city are all registered in the special yamen, and even if they live in the inner city, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on. Yueliang people love elegance, although the currency circulates gold and silver, but in terms of value, high-quality jade is definitely much more expensive than gold, this mutton fat jade is the best in the jade, the real mutton fat jade folk almost non-existent, sure enough, Su Miao took a closer look at the lights in the car, and the jade plate was engraved with three big characters - Wenwangfu.

Su Miao was silent for a while, raised her head, glanced at Su Xian, and asked sullenly:

"Eldest sister, have you already entered the house?"

She has been in Liangdu for many days, and she has never taken her into the city or given her a sign to enter the city...... The eldest sister is her sister, and it is not right to compare herself with her sister...... Remembering where that dead ghost has gone in the past two days!

She gritted her back molars in hatred.

Su Xian was a little proud, and said proudly: "I told him that I don't want it, but he has to give it to me." ”

Su Miao knew that the truth must not be what she said, but she was not interested in debunking it, the carriage entered the inner city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate immediately became polite to Su Miao when they saw the pass sign of King Wen's mansion.

Su Xian enjoyed the sense of dignity that her status brought her, but Su Miao felt bored.

Since it is the inner city where the aristocratic families live, the commercial street of the inner city is naturally extraordinary, the Fengnianfang of the inner city is estimated to be the most luxurious commercial street in the whole Yueliang country, the streets are wide and staggered, extending in all directions, the commercial buildings are luxurious and magnificent, crowded and dense, the fire trees and silver flowers, and the traffic is busy.

Su Miao glanced through the carriage curtain, and while marveling at how Liang Ducheng was so drunk and prosperous, there was a feeling that Grandma Liu had seen the Grand View Garden for the first time, seeing everything was fresh, and she felt amazed at everything, and what made her even more amazed was that the maids walking all over the street were dressed more gorgeously than her, and asked her how she knew that those were maids and not masters, naturally because the masters all sat in cars and sedan chairs, how could they walk by themselves.

"Liang Ducheng is really amazing!" She was amazed.

Su Xian didn't say this, but said: "It's not early, let's go change our clothes first, and then eat, the all-seafood banquet in Baikui Building is the best, I booked a private room." ”

"Why do you have to change your clothes when you go to dinner?"

Su Xianpi glanced at her with a smile: "Baikui Mansion only accepts officials and family members above the second grade, will they let you in if you dress like this?" ”

Su Miao looked down at her dress, it was very beautiful and fresh, it was absolutely no problem to go shopping, of course, she understood what Su Xian meant, just like going to a high-end Western restaurant and needing to wear an expensive evening dress, she is now dressed up as a scholarly lady There is absolutely no problem, but it is indeed a little far from the ladies above the second grade.

Specially made for the ladies in Liangdu City, Su Miao changed into a gorgeous and dazzling night dress, and took a picture of a floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, a moon-white streamer gauze cardigan, an aqua blue piping butterfly dark pattern pleated skirt, a pink embroidered peach blossom woven golden cicada wing yarn around the waist, revealing a snow-white neck, and the black hair was pulled into a pretty and chic Yaotai bun by the female guys who specialized in serving and dressing in the store, and a peach blossom was pasted on the center of the eyebrows, which is the most common dress for the noble ladies of Liangdu. The aristocratic ladies like to show their swan-like necks to show the nobility of their status, and the bold ones will expose the snow-white skin below the neck and above the chest, and the skin like clotted fat is an important symbol of aristocratic origin, which is the pride of being an aristocratic woman.

Su Xian came out from behind the screen, and the woman after the departure although there are no hard and fast rules on the hair ornament, because after the separation is a free body, no longer a woman, can decide the future marriage, but usually and the divorced woman will still comb the woman's hair bun, in Fengzhou Su Xian also did according to the custom, but I don't know when she changed the style of the bun, the cloud-like flying fairy bun is inserted in the beaded dragonfly gem step sway, the light gold printed back word pattern flower Su Aya straight collar underwear is added, with the vermilion color embroidered nine skirts of the mopping floor, Covered with a big red gourd double happiness pattern soft satin pipa sleeve long gown, a set of gilt head face flashing dazzling in the light, the end is fragrant and rich, and the state is extremely beautiful.

Su Miao tidied up her clothes, and whispered to her with some pain:

"Seven thousand taels in a set, eldest sister, you really made a lot of money this time!"

Su Xian pursed her lips disdainfully and said in a low voice, "Do you know how much silver the most expensive set of this season sold?" ”

"How much?" Su Miao asked curiously.

"A set of 300,000 taels, and a thousand South Sea pearls were used for that garment, and each bead was worth two hundred taels of silver."

Su Miao was speechless.

"Do you know who bought that outfit in the end?"

"Who?"

"Lord Lingrou." Su Xian snorted and whispered to her, "Except that your father and mother are not as good as her, you will have to starve to death if you leave the princess of the palace, you can at least live well on your own, so you are more useful." ”

"Everyone has their own advantages, and everyone has their own disadvantages, so why compare themselves with each other and add troubles." Su Miao said disapprovingly.

Su Xian laughed contemptuously, tapped on her head, and mocked: "An excuse to deceive yourself!" ”

Su Miao pursed her lips.

After the two sisters tossed for a while, they finally set off beautifully, and the carriage passed through the lotus alley, and came to the Baikui Building, which only received officials and their families above the second grade, and it is said that the seafood here is very good, and even the emperor is full of praise.
