Chapter 013: Out of the house
Lancao reminded in a low voice: "This is Mama Pan." ”
Rao Xuekong smiled slightly, and said: "Mama Pan, Daddy promised me to leave the house tomorrow, I want to go early, so I won't have breakfast in the house, now I will take some snacks to pad my stomach tomorrow morning." I don't know if it's okay? ”
Mama Pan is a doctor, in charge of the big kitchen, the big and small things in the house will naturally reach her ears quickly, I believe she already knows about the night.
Sure enough, Mama Pan saluted and replied respectfully: "The kitchen is preparing the snacks of the masters, since the third lady happened to come over, the slave maid dared to ask the third lady to take her share of the Ximo Courtyard first." ”
"There's Mama Lao."
The exquisite food box was lifted, and Lancao took it, the handle was smooth, far from being comparable to their original broken bamboo food box.
Back at Ximo Courtyard, Rao Xuekong took the food box, put it on the table, opened the lid, and took out two plates of beautifully stacked pastries. A plate of radish cake and a plate of chestnut and red bean cake are still hot, exuding a fragrant smell.
Lancao swallowed quietly.
"Eat."
Lan Cao raised her head suddenly: "But, didn't Miss say that this should be kept as early tomorrow morning?" ”
"I said you believed it? It's silly. Ming'er, we can go out of the house by ourselves, what do we have to eat outside? Eat it quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold. Rao Xuekong said, turned around and went out to fetch water to prepare to clean his face and wash water. There are two ear rooms on the left and right of this main house, one is lived in bluegrass, and there is a small kitchen and clean room behind the other ear room. But soon she found that she couldn't get the ingredients at all, so she had no choice but to give up.
This night, Lancao fell asleep smiling at the touch of her full belly, and before falling asleep, she had her own young lady's bright eyes in her mind, and she only felt that she liked the third lady who looked like this very much.
At midnight the next day, Rao Xuekong took the bluegrass to find your housekeeper. Your housekeeper was naturally subdued by the eldest lady, to say that this mansion was originally the world of the eldest lady and the lord, and even the eldest lady was in charge more.
Your housekeeper is a son of the family, and he has the surname Liu, and he is a single noble. Nearly forty years old, slightly slumped, Lancao once said when introducing him to Rao Xuekong, this is because your housekeeper has learned to nod his head since he was a child, so he will slump his shoulders. Rao Xuekong felt that there was some truth in this.
"Third Miss, you are early, why did you come out at this hour?"
Rao Xuekong showed a bright smile: "Your housekeeper, please help me prepare the car." ”
Your housekeeper also accompanied the smile, but the contempt in his eyes couldn't be hidden, "Yo, this is really unfortunate, a carriage in our house sent the second young master and the fourth young master to the academy, the carriage that Lao Shi drove was the one that the master was going to sit in later, and there was a carriage that went out with Mama Zhen yesterday and hasn't come back yet." ”
Rao Xuekong's eyebrows moved, "Are there only three carriages in the mansion?" ”
"There is another one, but it broke down a while ago and has not been repaired. Third Miss, you see that if you don't know how to go out again, Mama Zhen will definitely come back. ”
Lancao was anxious when she heard this, and Rao Xuekong gave her a look. sneered in her heart, this is really a good slave, she wants to leave the house, but she can't prepare a carriage, Ming'er is Liu Mingru's and Luli also want her to change Ming'er to go out, and she has to fight with a subordinate for a carriage! The eldest lady calmed down last night and made another move, and sure enough, she didn't stop.
But she didn't know that Rao Xuekong had no intention of asking for a car.
"Since there is no spare carriage, then I will walk out, simply wear this clothes, and people will not recognize me as the daughter of the Liu family." Rao Xuekong changed to another set of dresses today, although it was a little shorter, but the sleeves were not cut off and the sleeves were not attached, and it looked like an ordinary girl from a small portal.
Your housekeeper looked at Rao Xuekong and Lancao who came out of the gate, and secretly snorted. "A little girl, I really think I'm a daughter."
The defense of men and women in the Dayu Dynasty is not particularly strict, and women do not need to be veiled or wear hats when they go out, but women with status generally ride in carriages.
Out of the gate of Liufu, Rao Xuekong only felt that the stuffiness in his heart was swept away, and when he looked back, the magnificent Liufu was like a huge cage. Rao Xue turned around, in front of him was a straight blue brick street, Liufu is the end of this street, there are no shops in front of the door, ginkgo trees are planted on both sides, and flowers are blooming.
"Ginkgo biloba is a good thing." Rao Xuekong looked at the ginkgo tree and said.
Walking under the ginkgo tree, the air in the ancient morning is exceptionally fresh. After walking about ten meters, a street that extends vertically and horizontally with this street intersection is displayed in front of Rao Xuekong's eyes.
The spacious streets are lined with shops of uniform shapes. In addition to the two or three bungalows, there are one or two two-story buildings, and those green tiles and flying eaves make Rao Xuekong feel much more meaningful than modern skyscrapers.
There are vendors setting up stalls in front of this shop, perhaps because it is still early at this time, there are not many stalls, and some are setting up tables and chairs, which seem to be selling breakfast.
Rao Xuekong and Lancao walked eastward, there were already people coming and going on the street, mostly women holding baskets in their hands, and occasionally horse-drawn carriages passed briskly through the street, the sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the sound of buying and selling between vendors, this ancient early morning street scene really rushed to Rao Xuekong, making her have a trance into history.
A burst of fragrance wafted through the nose. In front of it was a breakfast shop, with steamers at the door, steaming. There are already a lot of customers in the wide open shop, some people are eating steamed buns, some people are eating wontons or noodle soup with large bowls.
"Miss, do you want to go in and eat steamed buns?"
Rao Xuekong shook his head, "Let's find a shop first, find a silver ticket and break it up." ”
Lancao then remembered that the master gave a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and he took this one hundred taels of silver ticket to buy buns, can people find it? She stuck out her tongue secretly.
The two of them walked a few more steps, and happened to see a bank, so they went to the bank and brought out the money. Fifty taels of broken silver, fifty taels is still a silver ticket.
Coming out of the bank, the two of them walked back a few steps into the breakfast shop, and found a corner to sit down.
"Bluegrass, what do you want to eat?" Rao Xuekong asked for a bowl of wonton, asked for orchid grass again, and said to her: "Pad your stomach, you don't need to eat too much, we still have to taste a lot of food today." ”
Lancao couldn't hide her excitement, "Then the slave maid wants two buns, right?" ”
"Okay."
Soon, Xiao Er sent the buns and wontons over in a hurry, whether it was buns or wontons, they had a very attractive fragrance. The two of them had a great time. A bun costs two cents, and a bowl of wonton costs four cents. Rao Xuekong didn't know much about ancient prices and silver, so Lancao said, "It's not expensive." ”
Because they were not in a hurry, the two ate slowly, listened to some gossip talked about by others, and then returned to the street.
At this time, almost all the shops were already open, and Rao Xuekong said: "Let's go, let's go find a ready-to-wear store." ”
