When she thought about noon, she still couldn't speak.

I don't know if she didn't dare to say it or really didn't think of it, but Zhao Lihua didn't care anymore.

At noon, the things to be prepared by Aunt Sun have been prepared.

Zhao Lihua called Chunxing, so she couldn't think of it, so she stepped back and called the others.

Chunxing breathed a sigh of relief and retreated with relief.

At this time, Qiushuang had already gone to Aunt Sun to get things and run errands.

However, she didn't expect Chun Xing to be cautious, and after leaving her room, Chun Xing didn't go out, but stayed in the pear blossom courtyard honestly.

It wasn't until the evening that she sneakily went out to find Mama Qian.

After Qiushuang followed, she came back and told her that Lin Yunxia might have a few days before she could act, and they didn't seem to be completely right.

Zhao Lihua is not worried at all, now that she has nothing in her yard, she is not afraid of Lin Yunxia when they come.

The shop on East Street for the "first department store" is almost ready.

Zhao Lihua planned to take a look, and she remembered that she had promised to take Zhao Xinfen with her when she went out that day.

In addition, Aunt Sun also tied her up this time, so she sent someone to invite Zhao Xinfen to prepare to go out of the house together.

As soon as Zhao Xinfen received the news, she quickly dressed up, and was very excited to follow Zhao Lihua out of the house.

"Fourth sister, are we going shopping?" Zhao Xinfen's face was slightly red with excitement.

Zhao Lihua shook her head: "Last time during the Double Ninth Festival, you saw Gu Gongzi, he wants to open a shop, I'll take a look." ”

After all, her relationship with Zhao Xinfen is still at the surface stage, and she doesn't want to tell Zhao Xinfen everything.

Zhao Xinfen remembered the young man with a majestic figure, noble temperament, and well-defined facial features that he saw on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, and his face was already a little red, but now he is even redder.

Thinking about it, her face darkened again in vain.

She is just a concubine, and the woman who can be worthy of that Gu Gongzi should be the daughter of a high family!

She looked at Zhao Lihua's fair and delicate face and the confident light emanating from her body, everything was so fascinating, she felt even more insignificant.

Zhao Lihua, who was looking outside the carriage at the moment, didn't notice Zhao Xinfen's expression.

When he arrived at the "first department store" shop, only Zhang Yuankai was there, and Gu Qingran was busy with other things.

Zhao Lihua asked Jixiang to take Zhao Xinfen and her maidservant girl to sit in the teahouse next door, and she went to find them when she was busy.

As soon as Zhang Yuankai saw her coming, he hurriedly walked over to say hello: "Pear Blossom, you came just in time, how do you look at the layout of this shop?" Is there anything else that needs to be changed? ”

I haven't seen him for a few days, and now Zhang Yuankai is full of red light and full of spirit! It seems that he is looking forward to this department store!

Zhao Lihua smiled and followed him around the shop.

This shop is about 60 square meters.

There are also a few simple shelves in accordance with the modern shelves that Zhao Lihua said.

The whole shop layout is very simple and generous, as soon as the guests walk in, they can have a full view of the goods in the shop.

"It's basically not a big deal." Zhao Lihua followed Zhang Yuankai around and said, "Is the exchange card that I said before that I need to give the guests after the opening ready?" ”

This exchange card is similar to a modern loyalty card, membership card and the like.

Since there is no cash register system now, customers can only get a change card for every 30 yuan of things they buy, and after a total of 10 pieces, they can exchange for eggs and other things.

"Ready." Zhang Yuankai nodded, and praised without hesitation: "Pear Blossom, your brain is really good, with these cards, in order to collect cards for things, many people must think of our shop first when they buy things." ”

Hehe, Zhao Lihua grinned and didn't say anything.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Yuankai, Zhao Lihua went to the teahouse next to her to find Zhao Xinfen and them.

When I arrived at the teahouse, I saw Jixiang and Zhao Xinfen's maidservant Xiaocao standing at the door of the private room.

Zhao Lihua was puzzled: "Is the third sister receiving anyone?" ”

Xiaocao saluted her and said, "Fourth Miss, my young lady will see a friend again, so let's wait outside first." ”

Zhao Lihua frowned slightly, Zhao Xinfen still has friends outside? Isn't she that she hasn't been out of the house a few times and doesn't know anyone outside?

She stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Third sister, it's me, Pear Blossom, can we come in?" ”

After a while, Zhao Xinfen spoke: "Yes, fourth sister, I'll open the door for you right away." ”

When the door opened and Zhao Lihua entered.

There was no one in the box anymore, only Zhao Xinfen alone.

"Isn't the third sister seeing a friend? Why is there no one? ”

"He was afraid of causing me trouble, so he left first." There was a hint of panic in Zhao Xinfen's tone.

Zhao Lihua looked at the window that had been opened, and wondered in her heart, how unsightly was that person? I went through the window! Could it be a man?

"When did the third sister meet this friend?" Zhao Lihua's tone was relaxed, pretending not to care.

"I've known each other for a long time, and I happened to meet today, so I said a few words."

Zhao Lihua sighed and didn't continue to ask, it could be seen that Zhao Xinfen didn't want to say more.

In this case, she didn't ask much, she was not a person who was full of food and was nosy.

However, she made up her mind in her heart that she would not bring Zhao Xinfen out next time.

is such a big person, and it is inconvenient for her to follow her all the time, and when Zhao Xinfen has an accident, she will not be able to explain it to Aunt Sun.

"Does the third sister still want to go shopping? If you don't go shopping, let's go home, shall we? ”

Zhao Xinfen had a hint of reluctance on her face, she finally went out of the house once, and she only sat in the teahouse for a while, and she hadn't walked around yet.

Thinking about it, Zhao Xinfen looked at Zhao Lihua carefully, and said in a flattering tone: "Fourth sister, it's hard for me to come out, I haven't gone shopping yet, can I go shopping again and then go back?" ”

Zhao Lihua nodded, anyway, this time it has already come out, and the matter has been done, so it doesn't hurt to go shopping with her again.

So the two of them walked around East Street, which was relatively wealthy, and the people who lived on this street were all wealthy families.

Therefore, there are more jewelry and women's clothing sold on this street.

It seems that the ancestors have long discovered the truth that women's money is easier to earn.

The two of them walked around like this, Zhao Xinfen felt strange when she saw anything, look here, touch there.

It's very sad to look at, it's obviously the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she lives in the city, but she almost never goes out to shop, and she doesn't even know what it's like around her home.

"Fourth sister, let's go in there and have a look." Zhao Xinfen pointed to one place and asked.

Zhao Lihua looked in the direction she was pointing, it was a jewelry shop.

Anyway, it's been almost a few months since she arrived in the capital, and she doesn't seem to have visited these shops properly.

Except when I first arrived, I walked around with Zhang Yuankai and Uncle Jiang, and when I was looking for a medical hall, I didn't go shopping again.

So she nodded and went to the jewelry shop with Zhao Xinfen.

"Third sister, what do you want to buy?"

Zhao Xinfen lowered her head a little embarrassed when she heard her question, "I just take a look at it, if it's too expensive for me, I can't afford it." ”

In the end, Zhao Xinfen's voice also became quiet.

"It's okay, then let's just take a look, and then talk about what we like."

As she spoke, Zhao Lihua took her in.

Inside, there are three full containers, and they are full of all kinds of hosta and gold hairpins.

As soon as they entered, the second child in the shop greeted him with a smile: "Hello two young ladies, what do you need to buy, which one you like, just say it, you can try it on." Zhao Xinfen was a little uncomfortable by the enthusiasm of the shop's junior two.

Zhao Lihua is used to it, and she can deal with this situation freely, and in modern times, those shopping guides are more enthusiastic than this.

Zhao Xinfen saw Zhao Lihua's accustomed appearance, and her inner inferiority complex became stronger.

She is obviously one year older than Zhao Lihua, but she is not as good as others, and she is embarrassed to answer even when a shopkeeper talks to her, because she is afraid that she will not be able to afford the things in the store.

"Third sister, let's take a look, I'll buy which one you like." Zhao Lihua saw her discomfort and cleared the siege.

Although she said this, Zhao Xinfen still couldn't be happy in her heart, she suddenly lost the desire to go shopping, and just wanted to go home and stay in the small courtyard.

"Third sister, come here, this is very suitable for you." Zhao Lihua saw that she didn't choose, so she chose a silver hairpin for her.

Zhao Xinfen smiled, took it in his hand and looked at it, and then put it on his head and gestured.

"Fourth sister, that's it, I think it's very good-looking, the fourth sister has a really good eye."

Zhao Lihua saw that she really liked it, and was about to answer, when she heard Wang Yunxin's surprised voice: "Sister Lihua, why are you here?" Zhao Lihua turned her head to look at Wang Yunxin.

She is completely different from before, she used to always have a sad face, a depressed look; Now she has a smile on her face.

"Yunxin, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become more beautiful."

Wang Yunxin smiled embarrassedly: "Sister Lihua, don't make fun of me, it's only been five days, and I'm looking better?" ”

Zhao Lihua used to give her acupuncture once every other day, but now she cooperates with taking medicine and acupuncture once every six days.

When acupuncture was not needed, Zhao Lihua did not go to the hospital, so the two had not seen each other for five days.

"It's really getting better, I don't believe you ask auspicious." Zhao Lihua looked at Jixiang.

Jixiang saluted Wang Yunxin and said: "Miss Wang has really become better-looking, her face is radiant, and the whole person is in good spirits, has Miss Wang encountered anything good?" ”

As he spoke, Ji Xiang still looked at Wang Yunxin badly.

Wang Yunxin pretended to be angry and glanced at Jixiang: "Jixiang, you have been following Sister Lihua for a long time, and you have learned to make fun of me." ”

Jixiang hurriedly waved his hand: "How dare the slave maid make fun of Miss Wang, what the slave maid said is true." ”

Wang Yunxin snorted lightly, she let go of Jixiang, she knew that Jixiang was right.
