Chapter 81: The Birthday Banquet (1)
Shuyizhai's materials are somewhat famous in the imperial city, and the tailoring process of Shuyifang is a must. These two were originally considered a family, but the division of labor was different. Shuyi Zhai only sells satin, while Shuyi Workshop only cuts satin into clothes.
It is precisely because of the outstanding satin and craftsmanship that the dignitaries and nobles in the imperial city are eager to do so, and the shops are always so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, and the clothes that are placed by Shen Luo for Fran are delayed until the beginning of May.
At first, when he was instructed to cut the clothes, because he was worried that some details would not fit, he said that when the clothes were finished, Fran would go to the shop to pick them up, and if there were any inappropriate ones, he would cut them on the spot. On the second day of the fifth month, the clothes were cut, and Shuyifang only sent someone to deliver the message according to the previous agreement, and did not send the clothes to the house.
Fran was very happy, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, and she only said a few words to Shen Luo and was about to go to Shuyifang, but she was stopped by Shen Luo and wanted to go with her.
"Princess, what are you doing here?"
Shen Luo put a jade hanging fan on the curled bun, looked at the bronze mirror and felt satisfied, then turned to look at Fran who had already run to the door.
"Do you really think it's too far for me to make a hard trip?"
Seeing a playful smile on the corner of Shen Luo's mouth, Fran swallowed her saliva, cowered and retracted her right foot that had already stepped out of the door, gave an embarrassed smile, nodded, and brazenly said 'yes'.
Shen Luo smiled silently, and walked towards the door leisurely, the step swayed with her steps, and Shen Luo's posture was a little more graceful. Shen Luo arrived at the door, and Fran was still clinging to the door, thinking that Shen Luo was coming for her, but she smiled at the corner of her mouth, and then went out with a big grin.
Fran was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly jumped out of the door, followed behind Shen Luo and said, "Oh, I'm not in a hurry, it's always more troublesome for you to go out than me." ”
Shen Luo glanced sideways at Fran, who was slightly behind, and snorted coldly: "Didn't I just make a hairpin?" ”
Fran pursed her lips and didn't respond, but she muttered in her heart: Where is there only one hairpin, you can't run or jump when you go out, you can only hold the style of Mrs. Gaomen, who can not be in a hurry?
Shen Luo didn't know what Fran was thinking, and he had no intention of arguing with her anymore, so he swept the yard with his eyes, and didn't find Hua Yi's figure, so he asked Fran where Hua Yi went.
As she walked, she thought about what happened after breakfast, and said after a while: "I saw her after breakfast, and she went back to the side hall, but she didn't say anything and left, as if she had gone out of the house." ”
In a short time, the two of them had already turned through the small arch, and then passed through the cloister to go directly out of the mansion gate. Today, for some reason, Shen Luo's steps were so fast that Fran almost trotted to catch up with her.
"Does the princess want to look for her?"
Shen Luo shook his head: "I originally wanted to take her away, but now she has gone out of the house by herself, so as not to let me bother to speak." ”
As soon as she heard Shen Luo say that she wanted to take Hua Yi away, Fran couldn't help but pause for a moment when she stepped out of the mansion, and then ran two steps and clinged to Shen Luo's side, who had already left the mansion, and asked, "The princess went out today, is there something to do?" ”
Shen Luo had already arrived at the carriage under the steps at this time, Shi Dahai jumped out of the car to make the debut convenient Shen Luo went up, Shen Luo got into the carriage, and he bent down in front of the curtain, but he didn't go in, he only turned back to Fran and said, "Otherwise?" Do you really think I'm in the mood to run around with you? ”
Shi Dahai's gaze shifted from Shen Luo to Fu Lan, and he didn't know what the two were talking about, only to see Fu Lan pouting, puffing out her cheeks like a pufferfish, and then followed Shen Luo into the carriage.
With a snap of the horsewhip, the carriage left in front of the Regent's Palace.
Slowly drove to the end of Chang'an Street, just waiting for the carriage to turn left onto Zhuque Street, Hua Yi bought medicine from Zhiling Hall on Huaiming Street, and saw the back of the carriage, and his heart sank.
Su Zhi told her to take good care of the princess's safety, the princess left the palace in a carriage at the moment, she must be going to a slightly farther place, the imperial city is not as good as the palace, and there are dangers hidden in the shadows outside. After Hua Yi returned to Beijing, he had also heard that even at the gate of the regent palace, there had also been assassinations.
Thinking of this, Hua Yi had a wind under his feet, hurriedly ran back to the palace and put down the things in his hand, went out of the side hall and stopped a few maids, and after several inquiries, he learned that the princess was going to Pingde Street, as for where to go, I don't know.
Unable to care less, Hua Yi took the horse from the stable and went straight to Pingde Street.
……
Shuyi Zhai is a lively place, and its liveliness is different from other places. Elsewhere there are both men and women, but here most of them are women, and because of the high price of satin, most of the women are high-ranking ladies and ladies, even the eldest princesses of the current dynasty, who have also come.
Kang Lianlei turned around twice in Shuyi Zhai, and took a fancy to a goose-yellow satin, which was very expensive, although she had bought a lot today, but the Kang family was an official eunuch, and this bit of silver was not in her eyes, so she pointed to the satin and instructed the maid to take it to settle the bill, and Kang Lianlei herself went into the room to look at the side.
"This is obviously our first fancy!"
"So what?! You didn't settle the bill again, and now my princess has also taken a fancy to it, can you still give it?! ”
The noise gradually became outside, and many beautiful women heard the word "princess", for fear of being involved, so they hurriedly left with the maid, and those who were brave enough to watch the play also lowered their heads and pretended to choose satin, but their ears were listening to the movement of the quarrel, and their eyes were also aimed at each other from time to time.
"Miss Kang..."
Someone recognized that one of the two noisy people was Kang Lianlei's maid, so he kindly called Kang Lianlei out to relieve the siege, Kang Lianlei heard the movement outside, and hurriedly twisted her waist and ran out of the room, and she was bumping into her maid Cui'er being aggressively counted down by another girl dressed as a maid.
The Kang family is also a gateway with a head and a face in the imperial city, and Kang Lianlei is the daughter of the family, which one of the others is not a few points for her when she goes out? Even the mother in the palace always looks at her father's face and gives her face, where is a lowly girl now, who dares to show off her power to her people?
"What for!"
Kang Lianlei's shrill voice suddenly sounded in Shuyizhai, and when Cui'er saw her master come out, she immediately had a little confidence, and hurriedly complained to Kang Lianlei: "Miss! You have already taken a fancy to this satin, let me take it to the checkout, who knew that this girl rushed out halfway, and actually wanted to grab this satin, and said that we are not worthy of such a good satin! ”
