Chapter Ninety-One: A Man Disguises Himself as a Woman
Bai Wei's family affair did not take long to start winter, and on the day of the beginning of winter, she also asked someone to send Shen Jiahe a letter of peace and some wild meat specialties from the countryside, Shen Jiahe didn't dare to eat it, so he transferred it all to Shen Jiajue and sent it to a familiar colleague's house.
After the weather gradually calmed down, Shen Jiahui had less and less time to come out for activities, and Shen Jiahe didn't see anyone at the dinner table for two days, so he took Bai Ying to her yard to see her in the afternoon.
The eldest girl next to Shen Jiahui, Qianhe, opened the curtain for Shen Jiahe and told her: "The eldest lady is like this every year, she can't stand it as soon as the winter comes, and she doesn't even want to go out." ”
As soon as Shen Jiahe entered, he felt that the house was a little hot, and couldn't help asking, "Did you burn the fire cage so early?" ”
Qianhe stood at the door and ordered the little maids to bring the tea in, and when he heard Shen Jiahe's question, he hurriedly followed up and replied: "It burned on the day of the beginning of winter, and the eldest lady's hands and feet are cold now, if you don't burn the fire cage, the whole person can't sit still in the house, and the imperial doctor said that it's not good to always lie on the bed, so the fire cage burned early." ”
Shen Jiahe couldn't help frowning, and asked her again: "Has the imperial doctor seen it?" ”
Qianhe nodded, and told Shen Jiahe about the results seen by the imperial doctor before: "I didn't say that there was any big problem, I only said that the eldest lady was cold, not every girl's family is like this, but the eldest lady reacted too seriously." ”
There are many kinds of body cold, if the body is not lacking something, such as blood loss, it will also be a reaction to cold, but it should not be so serious.
Speaking of Shen Jiahui's problem, it has something to do with her staying in the house all day long, most women in ancient times did not go out of the door, let alone running and jumping exercises, but the more they stayed in the house and did not go out, the weaker their physique would be, which was really not conducive to their health.
"My sister is here? It's cold and I'm really uncomfortable. Shen Jiahui heard the movement outside and hurriedly shouted.
Shen Jiahe walked quickly to the room, and suddenly felt hotter, so he reached out and fanned it: "Sister, don't you feel hot?" ”
Shen Jiahui put the half-embroidered purse before coming: "I think it's just right, maybe I'm more chilly, like you, a healthy person who enters my house feels hot." ”
Shen Jiahe reached out and touched Shen Jiahui's hand, it was indeed just a little warm, thinking of Qianhe's words, he proposed again: "Although it is colder in winter, it is not good to always be in the house, avoid the cold time in the morning and evening, and you should go out for a walk at a time like noon, and your body will be better." ”
Shen Jiahui smiled and nodded, but Shen Jiahe was still a little uneasy: "Which imperial doctor did you see before?" It's better to let your father find another one for you to see, I think it's better to recuperate, you're too serious. ”
It turns out that she has seen a lot of miracle doctors, but she is just an agent, if she is injured, she can still say a thing or two, and this kind of cold disease can only be regulated by Chinese medicine.
Shen Jiahui agreed to come down, she already had plans to go out, and she happened to mention it to her sister: "In a few days, I still want to go to the mountains to make incense, and I can just go out for a walk." ”
The two chatted a few more words about the incense, and Shen Jiahe took Bai Ying back to his study, thinking that Shen Jiahui said that he was going out for a long time, and it was not convenient to drink water on the way, so he thought about making a thermos cup.
Most of the ancient kettles were copper kettles, which naturally would not keep warm, like some sheepskin kettles would only be used at the border gates, and generally would not appear in the capital, but the effect of heat preservation was only a little better.
But here she can't make the kind of insulated kettle liner, can only find a way in other aspects, if it is a short distance, as long as the material is kept warm for a period of time, if it is a long distance, it will be more troublesome.
She took rice paper and drew a few drawings according to her own ideas, but she was afraid that with her craftsmanship she would not be able to make them.
When she ordered things for hidden weapons before, she had found a craftsman with very good skills, and if she handed it to him, it should be very complete, or she could directly inform Lao Xiao of her ideas and let Lao Xiao do it.
The last idea was quickly rejected by Shen Jiajue, while doing it for her sister, she wanted to help Pei Yuan also make one, if it was handed over to Lao Xiao, I am afraid there would be no surprise.
After all the drawings were done, Shen Jiahe went to Shen's mother's room, since the last time she met the robber and returned late, her entry and exit have not been so smooth, and every time she goes out, she has to report it.
"It's just winter, my sister is cold, the winter clothes in the house haven't come down yet, and my daughter wants to go to the ready-to-wear store to pick two for my sister." This was Shen Jiahe's plan, and it was not a lie to Shen's mother.
Shen's mother naturally knew that her eldest daughter was afraid of cold, and she was a little sad every winter, so when she saw her youngest daughter say this, she naturally readily agreed.
Shen Jiahe took Bai Ying to the craftsman's shop first, and his shop was also discovered by Shen Jiahe by accident on South Street, and there was no one in the store in the past, so Shen Jiahe said what he meant.
The craftsman took the drawings and looked at them, and immediately gave Shen Jiahe a thumbs up in admiration: "The girl's mind is really ingenious, this is made of copper sheets into a cup, then covered with a layer of cotton, and then completely wrapped with iron sheets on the outside, if hot water is poured inside, I think the heat will be maintained for a long time, but I have to try it to know if it is good or not." ”
Shen Jiahe just moved things from his own world, and he was a little embarrassed to be praised like this: "What about this copper kettle?" ”
The craftsman pondered for a while, then smiled: "If this cup may not be able to stay hot for a long time, but this copper kettle must be no problem, the girl's original plan was to add hot water to the middle of the two layers of copper walls to keep warm, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, directly put in the mezzanine and the residual temperature of the hot charcoal, and then wrap it with something outside, which can keep warm and not burn people." ”
After listening to this, Shen Jiahe felt that he had really come to the right place this time, so he nodded and agreed: "Then do what the master says." ”
Coming out of the craftsman, Shen Jiahe took Bai Ying to the ready-to-wear shop, and after buying the clothes, he saw a sudden quarrel in the jewelry store next door, and he stopped to join in the fun for a while.
"You gilded the brass and sold it as gold to the guests, and you dared to say that if you have a fake here, you will pay ten times the silver, and if you really say it, you will pay this lady a hundred taels of silver." A young boy grabbed one of the guys in the store and yelled.
The guy was caught in public like this, he couldn't get over his face, and seeing that the evidence was also in front of him, he shouted regardless of it for a while: "It's not that she has no brains, ten taels of silver still wants to buy such a good gold artifact from the carver, how can there be such a cheap good thing!" ”
Now he can't even look at Shen Jiahe outside the door, and he dares to say that the customer sells fake goods because the guest is ignorant and greedy, which shows that these things are often done on weekdays.
Shen Jiahe couldn't help but choke back: "You yourself have already said that this is gold, and the price is also your own standard, how can you blame the guests for being cheap, and dare to be so ashamed to sell fake goods, it seems that you will be reported to the official and let the government evaluate it." ”
As soon as Shen Jiahe said this, the people around him shouted loudly: "Send the official, send the official!" Such a person will be arrested and imprisoned! ”
The guy saw that the wind was down, but he still refused to give in and still stiffened his neck and shouted: "There is another nosy person, it is this woman who has bought something, what does it have to do with you, it is really a dog with a mouse to meddle in things." ”
Shen Jiahe snorted coldly: "Such an unfair thing, naturally everyone shouts and beats, if you don't speak up, won't all the capitals be occupied by black-hearted traders like you in the future." ”
The owner of the store heard the disturbance and did not come forward, this is not a glorious thing, it is best to be able to push it out, if it can't be pushed out, it will just lose money, but this will see that the gaffe has reached the place where he wants to be sued, and he has to come out to preside over the scene.
The guy who was caught saw the shopkeeper come out, and suddenly began to break free violently with the backbone of the backbone, and the young man who grabbed him was already angry in his heart, which not only did not let go, but also beat the guy hard.
When the shopkeeper saw that his fellow had been beaten, he shouted, "How can you beat someone!" ”
After finishing speaking, he was about to rush up and make a move against the young man, but he didn't want to be grabbed by Shen Jiahe by the collar just after making a move: "The shopkeeper is right, the store has been making trouble for so long before it came out, are you preparing the silver for this lady to compensate?" ”
This boss is also a coward, as soon as he was caught in his clothes, he guessed in his heart that Shen Jiahe and the young man were by no means easy to handle, secretly screamed bitterly, and nodded like garlic with the idea of calming things: "Yes, yes, we will pay this guest silver." ”
The handsome young man turned around and handed the silver into the woman's hand: "Auntie, take it, you must polish your eyes when you buy things in the future." ”
Shen Jiahe saw that the matter had been settled, so she was about to take Bai Ying back to the house, but the young man behind her stopped her: "This is Miss Shen." ”
Shen Jiahe turned her head suspiciously, she only felt that this young man was a little familiar, but she never thought of where she had seen each other, she looked at each other carefully face to face, and couldn't help opening her mouth in surprise: "You are a girl!" ”
The other party winked at her, motioned for the two to walk to a remote corner where no one was, and then opened his mouth to explain to Shen Jiahe: "Miss Shen, I am Shi Xiangyuan, the youngest daughter of the Shi family, we have all met at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and my mother's cruise, but it was only a face-to-face, I think you don't remember me anymore." ”
Shen Jiahe doesn't like to socialize, if she didn't take the initiative to talk to her, she wouldn't be too concerned, not to mention that she had something on her mind both times, and it was impossible to pay attention to her, and when she saw the beautiful 'young man' opposite, she couldn't help but sneer: "You are dressed like this, where did I think of so much, I only felt familiar before, but I didn't dare to think that you were a girl from the Shi family." ”
Shi Xiangyuan lowered his head a little embarrassed: "I am sending something to your sister for my brother, passing by East Street for a while, I thought that it would not be too late to go here first, I didn't want to encounter this kind of thing, so I couldn't see it for a while, so I took action." ”
Shen Jiahe nodded, this is really like what the young lady from the General's Mansion will do, thinking that she is about to go home, she invited: "I also came out to buy things for my sister, and I will go back this time, just so we can go together." ”
Shen Jiahe felt a little strange in the carriage, so he asked her: "Is it a very important thing?" Your brother asked you to deliver it himself. ”
Shi Xiangyuan saw that Shen Jiahe didn't have any, and the two of them teamed up to treat the black-hearted shopkeeper before, so he didn't hide it from her if he had something to say in his heart: "It's not such a valuable thing, I also sent the little girl over, it was I who wanted to see what the future sister-in-law looked like, so I asked for this errand." ”
After speaking, she saw Shen Jiahe looking thoughtful, worried that she would think badly, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not afraid that your sister is not good, I'm just a little curious, after all, my brother has only seen your sister once, and after I go back, I beg my mother to go to your house to propose marriage, and I will ......."
Shen Jiahe smiled and motioned to her not to worry: "I understand, if my brothers have someone they like in the future, I will probably be like you." My sister is also very easy to get along with, you don't have to worry about it in the future. ”
The two of them talked and soon arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Jiajue was about to go out to get a document from a colleague's house, the three of them bumped into each other, Shen Jiajue saw her sister coming back with a man, and immediately scolded her: "Which family's son is this?" Why did you enter the house with a foreign man like this, and don't come to me soon. ”
