Chapter 35: Zhonghe Street
Today was a cloudy day, and the weather was not hot, so Lingji and Jinren went to the bustling area of Xuesen City to play in 'Zhonghe Street'.
Qishang was also in an irritable mood in the past two days, thinking about the good things Lu Xin and his wife had done and had a headache, and he had no clue after turning around the garden of the ambassador's post house twice.
As her maidservant, Lu Fang naturally knew that she was in a bad mood, so in order that the county lord's anger would not affect her, she suggested: "County lord, will you go to Xuesen City for a walk?" I heard that 'Zhonghe Street' is the most prosperous place in the imperial capital of Xuesen Kingdom! ”
Qishang looked at the weather and it was okay, it was not comfortable to be bored here every day, so it mattered! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! She nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"
Chunliu looked at the weather today and it was a cloudy day, and she also wanted to go out to see the prosperity of the imperial capital of Xuesen Kingdom, and Ershan went to buy vegetables or something in the past two days, she stayed in this small courtyard all day, and she was tired of it, and it was much more interesting in Wujiang Road than here before.
Since she made breakfast last time, Mama Li decided to let Ershan cook these days, and asked her to learn the art well, and then take on this job when she became a teacher! Lisheng said that there are more and more people in this courtyard now, and it is good to invite a special cook to save trouble! Anyway, Lisheng is not short of silver, and she is also relaxed.
I wiped the table twice more boringly, not because she was diligent, but because Mama Li stared at her when she was fine, and asked her to learn this and that when she was free! She might as well find something to grind time slowly, so as not to listen to her nagging again.
This is the case for all old people, and Mama Li is no exception, nagging things like this: "Mama, I have lived so old...... Women must be diligent and do everything well! ”
"Mama, I eat more than your salt...... It's not done here, the little girl has to work hard. ”
"Mama, I was a good embroiderer...... you have to listen to me, this flower is not embroidered like this."
"Alas!" Chunliu sighed, the days of freedom and ease had been too long away from her, Lisheng came in from outside, and saw her wiping the table repeatedly with a rag, and the table was spotless, but how could this person be sad!
Lisheng asked, "Chunliu, is there something?" ”
"Childe is back, it's okay, my work is less and easier, and I don't have to make breakfast, it's just that I've been idle for the past two days, Mama Li wants me to learn needlework, learn to take care of clothes, put incense and so on!" Junryu picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him.
Lisheng looked at her distressed appearance, and his heart was also embarrassed for her, Mama Li didn't look at it as a nagging old woman in her eighties, she was a capable hand when she was young, and she took care of all the big and small things in her grandfather's mansion. This old lady caught Chunliu is his maidservant, seeing that he had no skills, and the second was careless, he naturally corrected it to death, but it was not difficult for him to understand Mama Li's intentions.
He shook his head and said, "Mama Li only mentioned you because she didn't do well, she was very powerful when she was young, and she was in charge of everything in my grandfather's mansion." ”
Chunliu thought to herself, could it be that this Mama Li sees me as Lisheng's maidservant, and really wants to train me to be a powerful housekeeper! Just thinking about it makes me feel cold, although she is a good heart!
"It seems that this Mama Li wants to take me in her direction, Childe, do you believe that I can become a person like Mama Li?" Junliu shook his head helplessly and stuck out his tongue!
Li Sheng finished drinking the water, put the cup on the table, and said lightly: "You, it's difficult!" Forget it, I'm going out left and right, you go together, I think you're going to become a bitter gourd here! ”
Chunliu was overjoyed when she heard that she was going out, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Li Sheng looked at her like a chicken blood, this girl's heart must have been flying out a long time ago, he turned around and said, "You don't know if you come along." ”
"Childe, where are you going, tell me!" Junliu hurriedly ran in front of him and asked curiously.
Lisheng opened the folding fan, and the corners of his mouth rose to sell Guanzi, not to mention!
Along the way, Chunliu lifted the curtain, okay, it's not rare if you don't tell me, anyway, sooner or later, about half an hour later, the carriage stopped on the bustling street, Li Sheng looked at her and said, "Why are you still stunned, get off the carriage, don't you just want to come here?" This is the most prosperous place in Xuesen City, 'Zhonghe Street'! ”
Junryu looked at the bustling streets, got out of the carriage and walked forward with Lisheng.
Lingji and Jinren also arrived at the most lively 'Zhonghe Street'. She looked at the folk customs that were completely different from Yunmengguo, and secretly praised that sure enough, this Xuesen country regards snowflakes and red plums as holy relics, and the objects sold and the food eaten are full of snowflakes and plum blossoms.
Lingji walked to a small stall, saw the delicate fan here and picked it up to admire, when she picked up a small jade pendant fan, looked at the front and back of the fan painted with snow red plum and the beauty under the red plum tree looked back and smiled, and saw that this woman was somewhat similar to her mother, Princess Xidie, so she thought about buying this fan.
"This big brother, how much silver does your fan have?" Lingji asked.
The little merchant had been doing business here for many years, and it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl, and he stared at the woman and didn't hear anything she said.
Seeing this, Jinren habitually picked up a fan and shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "This eldest brother, my young lady asked you something." How much silver does this fan cost? "No way, the princess is so beautiful, she always has this situation when she goes out, she has long been used to it.
"I'm sorry, Miss, this fan is a hundred yuan!" The little merchant touched his head embarrassedly and said apologetically.
"Jinren, this fan is good, I bought it." As she spoke, she picked up her fan and walked forward.
Chunliu walked out of the Stuffed Zhen Balls shop, and touched her round belly with satisfaction, this Xuesen City's specialty 'Stuffed Zhen Balls' is really worthy of its name, the taste is delicious and smooth! It is worthy of being the second most famous snack in the imperial capital of the Snow Forest!
She carried a few servings of stuffed Zhen Balls and was about to take them back to Mama Li, and Wang Zilin and others to taste, this arrived in the crowded crowd, and she didn't know what was going on, and the people behind her crashed directly into her, and in an instant, several copies of Stuffed Zhen Balls were all spilled on his clothes.
The boy who hit people, the sixteen-year-old surnamed Zhu Mingqi, was chased by his own servants today and caught back to the house on a blind date, he finally ran out of the house where he was willing to go back, he desperately rushed forward to get rid of those troublesome servants, but accidentally bumped into the woman in front!
Chunliu looked back to see which reckless person it was, with such a big impact, several Brewed Treasure Balls were all buried in his hands! When she turned around, Zhu Qi looked at her, and secretly sighed that she was a beautiful woman, the only fly in the ointment was that she was wearing the clothes of the maid, and the clothes of the maid were dirty by her, he couldn't bear the imperfect things the most, he said a little apologetically: "Girl, I'm sorry, I stained your clothes, please give the girl a chance to make amends, there is a clothes shop in front." Just buy a dress to change into there, and I'll pay for it. ”
Chunliu looked at himself, it was indeed unsightly that his clothes were spilled with soup, and he met an acquaintance from Gongzi Sheng, and exchanged a few more pleasantries. So he told his son that he was going first and waiting for him in the carriage. As soon as it came out, it was dirty. Lisheng will definitely tease her there when he sees her later!
She looked at the fact that there was really a ready-to-wear shop not far in front of her, and looked at the man's dress, the black clothes were ice silk satin, and the white jade waist was crystal clear... is the son of a rich and noble family. He said, "Okay! Then go and get dressed. ”
Li Sheng walked out of the brewed pill shop, walked in the direction of the carriage, and saw Chunliu enter the ready-to-wear shop from a distance, and he followed with some doubts!
Chunliu entered the shop and saw the various styles of women's clothes in the shop, Zhu Qi said: "You can pick any clothes in this store!" To show my apologies, please don't be polite! ”
Chunliu hasn't worn gorgeous clothes for several months, and all the maids she wears for her in Lisheng's Mansion are the clothes of a maid! Looking at the clothes in this store, although they are not as delicate and good as those in the royal court, they are also good!
She pointed to the plain light purple skirt hanging on the north side, and said, "That's it!"
At this time, a woman entered the store from the outside, it was Qishang! She said, "Slow, I've taken a fancy to that too!"
Chunliu looked at this woman, she looked good, but she was too arrogant!
Zhu Qi saw Qi Shang's arrogance, and sneered: "How can this be reasonable, doesn't this young lady know that he will come first and then come!"
Qishang was already angry in his heart, and he suppressed it for more than a month, thinking of being taught a lesson by a kid when he came here, he said unhappily: "Yo, there are helpers, I didn't see it, shopkeeper, did you pay for this dress?"
The shopkeeper looked at the son's gorgeous clothes, he must be a noble son, and although the woman who wanted to grab the clothes was also a good material, it was still much inferior to the child!
The businessman was the most sleek, and saw that the boy was the master of generosity, so he gave a salute and said, "Miss, although the dress was not paid, it was indeed chosen by the girl first." There are many styles of clothes in our shop, so you can choose another one! ”
"That's what I want, Lu Fang!" The Qishang made a look, and Lu Fang took out his purse and poured the silver on the cabinet!
The shopkeeper looked at the young lady as a rich man, and the silver was enough to buy three of those clothes.
Zhu Qi saw her style and sneered: "Compare your wealth with me!" All right! The master smashed you with money, and you are convinced! He took out a silver ticket from his sleeve pocket and slapped it on the counter, and the storekeeper's heart blossomed, and he made a lot of money today! This silver ticket can buy ten of those clothes!
When had Qishang been slapped in the face like this in Yunmengguo, she said with a dark face: "This son is so arrogant!" Don't you think that this money can hit me, Lu Fang, take out the silver ticket on your body! ”
Seeing such a situation, this son has no relatives with her, so there is no need to spend so much, and persuaded: "This son, give this dress to that girl, I'll choose a new one!"
"No, if you like it, it's yours. Shop, I bought your store! How much silver is being offered! And that young lady, you don't want to buy a dress from here! As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his body and handed it to the shopkeeper!
"Don't be complacent, Lu Fang, you go and invite the prince of Yuyu to come over!" Qishang thought to herself, she was a dignified county lord, is she going to be humiliated here today, it is simply a loss of face in Yunmengguo!
Li Sheng walked in and heard the woman talk about the Xiyu prince, he had heard about it, presumably this woman's identity is not simple, so it is not appropriate to stay longer!
He looked at Chunliu's clothes splashed with soup, and said coldly: "Chunliu, let this son be easy to find, what are you doing here, go, go back!"
